The Pre-Game XT is intended to be general all-purpose training shoe and based on its lightweight advantages, glove-like fit, and sculpted Phylon midsole, and sub-$100 pricetag, it very well should be. We’ve already seen a ‘For the Love of the Game’ XT colorway as well as a GR release in black/red, and we can’t forget the all-red pair Jordan wore during his Flight School camp. Here’s a look at a new colorway of the Jordan Pre-Game XT in Light Graphite, University Blue, and White that just dropped at Finishline; the Light Graphite upper is set of by university blue branding and a dark-grey mesh under-layer, all sitting atop a white/blue midsole. Extra shots are available after the jump so check ‘em out.

Puma’s Suede and Clyde lowtops are arguably the German cat’s most popular silhouettes. Both have seen countless colorways over the years and today there’s a new pack of Suedes for ladies that keep with the recent trend towards simple looks. These tonal-on-white joints are called the Suede ‘Tropics’, and while pink is a no-brainer, the black pair manages to fit the nickname with a washed out black upper giving way to grey accents. Check out more images of both after the jump and look for these at select Puma accounts like Sole Boutique.

Not long ago the OG color-combo of the Air Max Uptempo 97 released but it was soon followed by two curious yet modern colorways that had our readers buzzing. The ‘Urban Federation’ Uptempo 97 and its all-red upper was a topic of conversation as was the recent grey/orion blue joints. If you like to stick to the OG fabric, the Black/Metallic Silver-Varsity Red joints just recently became available. If those polyurethane TPU ‘tear-drops’ and the crazy traction design doesn’t scream late-90′s Nike basketball, what does? Check out the extra images after the jump and pick up a pair from footsoldiers on eBay.

When Sneaker News first showed you images of the Air Jordan Pantone 284 Laser Collection during our coverage of the Air Jordan x Atmos Pop-Up Store Launch, our readers were left with their jaws locked in a wide-open position, unable to comprehend the beauty of the University Blue Laser-uppered Air Jordan Legacy display. Here’s a closer look at the Air Jordan XIV to Air Jordan XX; this segment of the Air Jordan Pantone 284 Laser Collection is bookended by two great Air Jordan models inspired by vehicles – the Ferrari for the XIV and the motorcycle for the XX – but everything else in-between has a background story equally as awe-inspiring. Check out Part 2 of the Air Jordan Pantone 284 Laser Collection and let us know which one of the bunch has your eyes locked in. via SoleCollector.

We showed you an unreleased Dos Equis x Nike SB sample a couple of months back, so if ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World’ won’t work with you on a sneaker, which other Mexican beers might be able to fill the void? How about Tecate, as we can clearly see that the newest Nike SB Dunk High Pro Quickstrike has been inspired by its can. And while this isn’t an official collaboration, some have said the contrast of red and metallic gold sections is reminiscent of both of Eric Koston’s Nike SB Dunk collabos, but all of that’s up for you to decide. We just show you more shots when you click the jump below and suggest that you can find em now from ID4Shoes on eBay.

Though it was initially released a year before the 1992 Barcelona games, a new Air Jordan VI Retro dropped in the middle of 2000 with Nike Basketball’s unmistakable USAB/Olympic colorway. You might see shades of the Olympic Sixes when you first inspect this new Air Jordan 1 Phat Low. These are done featuring a simple colorway that maximizes its white-on-blue contrast through the use of white smooth and pebbled leathers atop Midnight Navy nubuck. And with just a little red on the inner tongue tag, these are as close as you can get to that superb AJVI, at least until they retro again. Check out more shots of the white/navy AJ1 Phat Low after the jump and grab yours today from Kix-Files.

Eggplant colorways have been all over the place since the Nike Air Foamposite One was re-released in that colorway just a year after the huge initial drop in 2009. ’10 has seen everything from the Shox R4 to the Air Pippen II in that unmistakable pearlized metallic purple shade, and while it’s actually Club Purple instead of the Varsity version, we wouldn’t blame you for seeing this new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse as the ‘Eggplant’ Hyperfuse. These come in the Hyperfuse’s simplest black-on-color blocking pattern and should show up in a couple of months at Staples Center. In the meantime, you can buy your own pair from select Nike Basketball retailers like JBseller on eBay.

Last week Sneaker News showed you a look at a collection of great Air Jordans that crumbled into dust, but it looks like the owner of that collection, Valmonte of NT, had other shoes to mourn for as well. Here’s a look at two pairs of the Nike Air Max Plus TN that received the same fate; the uppers have remained intact but the humidity of his region has ravaged through the midsoles like a fat kid on cake, but it is interesting to see the inner Air Units revealed. Apparently the Air wasn’t ‘Tuned’ correctly for this climate because these once-proud Air Maxes have become toast. Check out the dissolved Air Max Plus TN after the jump and let us know what you’d do if your kicks turned out the same way.

Earlier this year the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Dark Knight’ released, but some perceived this Blackout colorway to be more Batman than the original released version. Here’s another look at the Nike Zoom Kobe V Blackout, featuring a pitch-black upper with a silver swoosh border and shozoku logo. The silver color gives Kobe’s logo a truly metallic look and combined with the piano black upper, this Kobe V Blackout might be the most “hardcore” colorway to date. Take a look at the detailed shots after the jump and if you haven’t copped a pair yet, pick up yours now on eBay. via Dunk.

Chris Paul has made some noise over the last couple of months as his supposed trade demands and desire to form another ‘Big Three’ in New York City brought a lot of attention on himself. Another related story is Chris Paul’s fourth shoe with Jordan Brand, the Jordan CP3.IV. Sneaker News first brought you a preview pic of CP3′s fourth in mid-August and gave you another peek into upcoming colorways earlier this week. Here’s another look at the White/Varsity Red-Black colorway of the Jordan CP3.IV, and you can see that this pair has some Team Jordan inspiration. This upcoming colorway will be available in the upcoming Spring 2011 season at Jordan retailers such as Foot Locker so continue reading for another and let us know what you think of Jordan Brand’s choice of using graphics on the upper.
