Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier IV TB   Fall 2010 Colorways

We’ll see LeBron James in white, red, and yellow this upcoming November but what colors will you be in? Here’s a look at the new Team Bank colorways of the Nike Zoom Soldier IV from LeBron’s secondary line with Nike; three white-based colorways – navy, royal blue, and green – as well as two patent leather trimmed cool-grey colorways – red and royal blue – have just released. Much like the previous Zoom Soldier installments, you can expect to see these on the feet of NCAA Mens Basketball players such as Ohio State, Kentucky, and other schools who have outfitted their players with the Soldier line. No featuring visible Air as well as a Flywire-laden in-step strap, the Zoom Soldier IV will be yet another popular choice for team-oriented ballers. Check out the new colorways and cop a pair on Eastbay.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High GS   White   Vivid Pink   Neutral Grey

The term ‘pink and shrink’ came along when many womens sneakers were unimaginative versions of their male counterparts that just added a little pink and called it good.  With the explosion of the lifestyle sneaker market, we’re seeing increasingly high-quality palettes on both sides of the gender divide, so a little pink every now and again is a good thing.  Check out this new Air Jordan 1 Retro High for kids and ladies, a shoe whose colorblocking might remind you of the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Infrared’, save the feminine accents.  Check out more shots after the jump and look for these at Jordan Brand retailers such as CitySole soon.

A Bathing Ape   Bapesta Shark

Those who are familiar with A Bathing Ape and its kicks fully understand that while the silhouette of the shoe is not original, their design and execution is supremely unique. Here’s a look at Bape’s Bapesta Shark collection, featuring the classic Bapesta with a Jaws-like shark’s teeth graphic appearing to be take a bite out of the shooting star logo. Four patent-leather colorways are available – yellow, green, red, and aqua blue – and have just dropped at Bape retailers in-store and online, so check out the detailed images after the jump and don’t miss on this release. via FRESHNESS.

Air Jordan CP3.IV   Spring 2011 Preview

Here’s yet another piece of the exciting puzzle that is Jordan Brand’s Spring 2011 collection, the next Chris Paul signature shoe.  We got a look at the Air Jordan CP3.IV just last week and one of the prominent features was a series of geometrical patterns printed on the lateral sidewalls.  The same pattern appears on a black pair you’ll see for the first time after the jump, but aside from that one, there appears to be an entirely different CP3.IV and it remains to be seen which one will hit retailers!  Both of these models feature the same basic shape, but when you see them right next to each other, the method of applying diagonal stripes makes for a significant difference on the side panels.  Check out both pairs below and let us know which one you prefer.  via SK

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke by Patrick Hauge

The latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke has shades of one of the legends of the Nike SB Dunk lineup.  Patrick Hauge designed this white-midsoled AF1 Bespoke with a black overlay that adds croc leather laid atop a super-blue underlay for a look that screams “Tiffany!”  There are quite a few differences from the Diamond Supply Co. original, though, with a Kevlar Swoosh and heel tab offer a look into some of the material advances sneakerheads have enjoyed over the past few years.  Check out more shots after the jump and let us know if this is the finest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke to come out of the 21 Mercer studio.

Nike Air 1/2 Cent   Cranberry | Release Info

Following up on last Thursday’s release news update regarding the ‘Eggplant’ Air 1/2 Cent, the Cranberry counterpart of that shoe will release at Nike Sportswear retailers on December 18th, 2010, one week before the Christmas Holiday. As if the shopping season wasn’t going to be hectic enough – some of you may already have allotted a wish-list spot to the Air Jordan XI (11) Cool Grey Retro – the Cranberry 1/2 Cent should make a case for itself to be a must-have for that season. Take another look at the Varsity Red/Black Air 1/2 Cent after the jump and mark your calendars for December 18th for a release date at Nike retailers such as Foot Locker.

Style: 344646-600
Color: Varsity Red/Black-Varsity Red

Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) Ink | Detailed Images

Throughout all the offseason happenings this summer, from ‘The Decision’ to yesterday’s nailbiter between USAB and Spain, Kobe Bryant has been quietly preparing for another run at the NBA Title.  And while most of the Kobe-related Sneaker News we’ve seen recently is focused on his upcoming signature, don’t make the mistake of sleeping on the Nike Zoom Kobe Vs still to come.  This new Ink edition is on the way, adding another distinct style of violet colorblocking to stand alongside ‘Eggplant’ in the Beaverton pantheon.  These joints are done with a cracked marble finish for maximal contrast to the matte ‘overlay’ sections.  And it all comes together on a black/white mid/sole, so click the jump below for more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates in advance of the November 2010 release date.  via MarqueeSole

Nike Air Max 90 Laser Blue   2010 Retro

The Nike Air Max 90′s signature colorway is undoubtedly the Infrared palette that just lit up retailers with a retro release in early July.  The AM90-Infrared association is a strong one, but if you had to think of another notable look for the Ninety, it’d be this combination of white, black and Laser Blue.  A cooler take on the electrified early ’90s Nike look, the Laser Blue Air Max 90s will be out sometime later this year, and you can see more images when you click the jump below. via SM

Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke   1 Day/10 Designs by Floss The Millionaire

The Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke experience is something many sneakerheads can only dream of.  Location and/or price have proven to keep the AF1 Bespoke exclusive, so it’s down right flabbergasting when you see someone not named ‘Mayor’ with 10 pairs in tow.  But that’s exactly what a dude named ‘Floss’ pulled off when he visited the Nike Sportswear flagship at 21 Mercer St. in NYC and copped an even dime’s worth of 1of1 goodness.  The designs range from an all-over Elephant print to a range of different blues with the Kaws stitch, and you can see all of them in detailed images after the jump.

Jordan Brand   Spring 2011 Preview

Even though the release of the Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’ retro is absolutely massive, there’s still some room for us to fill in on the Jordan Brand Spring 2011 footwear lineup.  Let’s start with a new performance basketball model, the Air Jordan Blueprint ’85.  It looks similar to the CP3.III and the Tribute spinoff, if you were to add a Zoom LeBron VI forefoot support.  Another shoe to be used on-court is the Jordan F2F, which has XDR on the soles for durable outdoor use.  There are a range of colorways on deck for the Jordan Prime 5 mashup, with the AJ1 Low releasing in a single Bred edition.  The new C-Series and Circa ’82 models are on the sportier side of the lifestyle spectrum from the V.2 Grown, and that chukkafied sneaker gets a lowtop model of its own.  Take a look a these, the Air Jordan Ol’ School IV and the new After Game lowtop, all in a huge set of new photos after the jump.  via SoleKorea
