Nike Zoom Kobe   New Upcoming Model

Sneaker News recently confirmed the black/snakeskin Kobe sample of interminable roots to be the Nike Zoom Kobe VI (6) but there’s no time to rest yet. Here’s a look at another upcoming Kobe shoe with equally nebulous origins; the upper is clearly all Kobe, with a purple and gold colorway, a snakeskin applique on the upper, and Kobe’s shozoku logo on the tongue and bottom heel. The midsole design is similar to the Air Force XXV Low, which featured a translucent bottom sole as well as midsole stitching, and the upper appears to be a combo between the Air Force XXV Low and the Nike Zoom Kobe V. In addition to the Purple/Gold colorway are four more familiar combos, like a Home-and-Away White and Black colorway with Purple trim, a ‘Draft Day‘ mix of White, Black, Aqua, and Purple, and another reptilian colorway mixing green with purple tones and a snake-skin applique. This take-down shoe of the Kobe line has a casual appeal but looks to be suitable for basketball as well, so check out the extra images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more updates. via NT.

Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low 07   Total Orange   White | Available

A good deal of what’s hot in 2010 has been the simplest of colorways and blocking patterns, and while this new Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low ’07 only uses three colors, it certainly makes the most of the trio.  Even without the patterned underlay, orange and white makes for a clean yet high-contrast look, but add in the woven sections that combine these colors and you’ve got the makings of a sleeper hit.  We’ve seen green and black pairs like this already released and now the Total Orange and White WMNS AF1 Lows are available for purchase from NikeStore or get yours now from smt_footwear_695 on eBay.

Style: 315115-800
Color: Total Orange/Metallic Silver-White

Nike Air 1/2 Cent   Cranberry | Detailed Images

The Nike Air 1/2 Cent ‘Cranberry’ was a shoe that immediately made its way on a ton of Christmas wish lists, and rightfully so. The Air 1/2 Cent is one Nike’s more successful hybrids of the decade, and combined with the never-before-seen colorway on the Foamposite, this Varsity Red aka ‘Cranberry’ colorway was an instant hit when images for dropped. The color-blocking follows the same recipe as the original Royal Blue colorway of the 1/2 Cent, featuring a black base and trail-inspired laces. Take another look at this sweet pair after the jump and let us know if you’re looking forward to the Cranberry more than you are the Eggplant 1/2 Cent. via osneaker.

NBA Feet: John Wall   Reebok ATR Make it Rain

John Wall is Reebok’s biggest signing since Allen Iverson and the first year point guard looks to bring the Vector logo back to prominence with some powerful performances in DC.  Wall has shown the world a few different colorways of the upcoming Reebok Zig Slash, but for the NBA rookie photoshoot, he opted for something a bit older from RBK.  Wall was wearing the Reebok ATR Make it Rain, a shoe that was particularly popular in China thanks to having been worn by Yao Ming.  Let’s hope the Make It Rain doesn’t have similarly devastating effects on John Wall’s feet, and you can see what Wall and the rest of the NBA stars are wearing all season in Sneaker News’ ongoing NBA Feet column.  via Dime

Supra Skytop II   Brown Leather | Available

Anyone who dismissed the Supra Skytop II for its use of an Air Jordan VI-like tongue has been summarily shut-up by the range of dope colorways so far.  Out for almost a year now, the Skytop II is pictured above in one of its nicest iterations thus far, a collection of brown leathers that’s just perfect for fall.  Not only do the sections of this Skytop II come in different shades, but there are a variety of degrees to which the leather is tumbled, compounding the tonal effect.  Check out more shots of these brown beauties after the jump and grab a pair from select Supra retailers including CCS.

adidas TS Heat Check   Wes Johnson + Derrick Favors PEs

Earlier today NBA newcomers Wesley Johnson of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Derrick Favors of the New Jersey Nets were featured in the 2010 NBA Rookie Photo Shoot. Here’s a look at their Player Exclusive colorways of the adidas TS Heat Check; Johnson’s pair features a blue/white colorway with WES-4 stamped on the heel, while Favors’ red/white Nets colorway features ‘D-FAV’. Both players were drafted early in the lottery and have super-star potential, so the addition of these two young cats to the adidas squad is great for the brand.

Puma Suede Mid Velcro   October 2010

The Puma Suede is about as similar to the Clyde as it could be without actually being the same shoe.  Both offer a very similar silhouette and midsole, but a closer look reveals the Suede to have a row of stitching on its sole that’s absent from the Clyde, with the Suede utilizing a rounder version of Puma’s signature formstripe than its older brother.  So with that in mind, you can more readily see how the Suede’s lowtop DNA has been cloned into this new Suede Mid Velcro model, which will be available in four suede and two leather colorways come October 2010.  Click the jump below for more shots and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via HS
