This month marked the debut of the Nike Lunar TR, one of the most advanced shoes you can use to up your game before you hit the field, court, etc.  You might confuse these with the USAB/Olympic colorway that’s become so popular of late, were you standing at a distance in the sunlight, but a clear view reveals a more aggressive black, red and white colorway that features Metallic Gold on the Swooshes.  The Lunar TR features the next generation LunarLon cushioning foam and a forefoot strap that gives you extra stability during lateral movements.  Check out more shots after the jump and grab a pair today from id4shoes on eBay.

What happens when LeBron James’ annual Skills Academy is crossed with another yearly LBJ tradition?  This new Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier IV, that’s what.  With a mix of red leather and canvas plus black and white accents, this new ZLS4 is somewhat reminiscent of the ‘Shooting Stars’ Air Max LeBron VI, and these’ll probably be just as hard to get.  They’re not set for a retail release at the moment, so click the jump below to see a whole bunch of detailed images and stick with Sneaker News for the latest in new LeBron James shoes.  via LRJ23

Yesterday Sneaker News showed you the Bronx and Manhattan’s representation from the Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium Five Boroughs Pack. The Manhattan joints were colored up in a swanky plum and grey while the Bronx featured a mix of blue and red. Next up is Queens, in a green-and-yellow colorway; the upper is constructed with a wool and tumbled leather upper with a chenille swoosh, satin inner lining, and 3M piping. The colorways of the shoes don’t have any team affiliations, but are instead inspired by varsity letterman jackets. Check out the Queens colorway of the Air Force 1 Five Boroughs Pack and let us know which colorway you like best. These will be available at Moe’s at the Coliseum Mall in Jamaica, Queens, or grab a pair now from footsoldiers on eBay.

Andre Iguodala was one of the four ‘Hyperizers’ that debuted its first music video last August. As Chief Blocka, Iguodala provided the chorus bars for the ‘Don’t Criticize’ track that went number one on…well, let’s just say ‘Don’t Criticize’ wasn’t a hit at the clubs. Check out this Nike Hyperize Andre Iguodala Player Exclusive signed by Andre ‘Chief Blocka’ Iguodala himself; the white/red colorway matches the Sixers most recent retro-style uniforms, and the tongue features an AI7 PE logo. Check out the images after the jump and remember: Don’t criticize. Hyperize. via US10.

It’s safe to say that the Nike Air Attack Pack has dominated 2010 like few collections before it, but when have we ever seen a hybrid shoe rival the state of the art Swoosh runner?!  Such is the case in these times when mashup designs are all the rage, and the Nike Air Max 24/7 is right up there with the AM 2010 when it comes to popular demand.  Here are three new women’s colorways, each offering their own take on the Air Max 95 & 97 combination.  Choose from a ‘Silver Bullet’ lookalike with Italy Blue contrasts, one with the same colorblocking except white and purple, or an all-Volt pair that echoes the trend towards monochromatic designs.  All three pairs of WMNS AM 24-7s are available now from Eastbay.

LA-based photographer Atiba Jefferson has seen and snapped it all in the 15 years since he founded Atiba Photos.  A book celebrating this visually stimulating decade-and-a-half will be yours free if you cop a pair of the Atiba Jefferson x éS Square Two, a vulc-soled lowtop with some vague similarities to the Nike SB P-Rod 2.5.  The upper is a simple black nubuck, but the gum rubber sole is clear on the bottom and reveals photos of éS team riders Rodrigo TX and Rick McCrank while the insoles feature photos of Bobby Worrest and Danny Garcia.  Click the jump below for more photos and check for these at your local éS retailers.

Some people still like to call sneakers ‘tennis shoes’, and in this particular case, they’re actually right.  The Nike Sweet Ace 83 (as it’s known in Europe; simply Ace 83 here in the States) is a throwback to what court kicks looked like before the advent of the Air Trainer 1.  This particular pair goes with the lifestyle-oriented vulcanized/autoclaved sole, which adds a grey stripe for balance on this mostly black and white leather lowtop.  Another nice low-pro look for summer, these Ace 83s are available from Paris’ colette.

It doesn’t take Lord Tariq to realize that “If it wasn’t for the Bronx,” no ‘Five Boroughs’ Pack would be complete.  Having previewed the Manhattan version just a few hours ago, here’s a look at the upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Bronx Borough’ edition.  These AF1 Lows are built of wool, tumbled leather, a chenille Swoosh and satin lining, made to resemble varsity jackets. While there are enough NY teams to make a shoe for each, there is no affiliation with any of those teams, they are just made in fresh colorways for each Borough. Be sure to stick with Sneaker News for updates on the entire Nike Air Force 1 5 Boroughs Pack.  via BX Sports

Update: We’ve just received word that the whole pack is designed by DJ Clark Kent.

There’s an ‘Advanced’ version on the way with a sleek midfoot strap, but before those hit retail, here’s a look at the new Air Jordan L’Style II.  An update from last year’s model with the crazy jigsaw puzzle piece-like closure, the L’Style II comes to you in a Jordan Brand favorite: black patent leather.  The entire upper is blacked out, save the ‘JORDAN’ tongue insignia, which matches a white/white sole for a nice clean look you might be able to pass off as a dress shoe.  Check out more images after the jump and grab a pair today from StepToRun on eBay.

It’s time to bring the Nike Air Force 1 back to where it got hot. There’s a reason why the Air Force 1 is nicknamed the “Uptowns”, and now this newly released Nike Air Force 1 Low showing love to the borough of Manhattan is a match made in heaven. In conjunction with the upcoming World Basketball Festival events in NYC, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Manhattan features a wine upper with a grey “carpeted” chenille swoosh and piping on the no-sew construction of the shoe. Reportedly designed by DJ Clark Kent, this pair is part of the special new pack of Nike Air Force 1s that will honor the history and influence of New York City basketball culture. These will be available in very limited quantities at select Nike Sportswear retailers such as WEST NYC, so head there now to pick up these limited kicks.
