Here’s another look at the USA colorway of the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII; earlier today we gave you a look at the possible packaging arrangement for the upcoming LeBron VIII China Edition, but we expect the USA packaging as well that of every other LeBron VIII to be no different. Now that you have a concrete idea of what the LeBron VIII USA will release as, what do you think a LeBron VII USA colorway would’ve looked like? From the vast catalog of LeBron VII colorways, the USA was one that was left out – although we did get a United We Rise pair of the Soldier IV. It might be time to put the past in the past but give us a comparison to this USA colorway and a potential one for the foregone LeBron VII, and mark your calendars for November 24th for a release. via Kickz-lab.
Style: 417098-100
Color: White/Midnight Navy-Varsity Red (USA)

The Nike Aina Chukka debuted earlier this year, and its basket-woven upper has appeared in a number of satisfying suede colorways. This pair, then, marks a first for the Aina, its initial venture into the world of buttery smooth leather. These joints are done in rich burgundy leather that contrasts a Still Blue sole quite nicely. These will be a great addition to your fall wardrobe whether in Philly or abroad, with the robust earthy tone a worthy anchor to any number of fall and wintertime fits. Check out some more images after the jump and look for these at your local Nike Sportswear retailers soon; they just hit Swiss sneaker suppliers Titolo.

DJ Clark Kent is no stranger to personalized Nike colorways and this Air Max LeBron VII Low just adds to his already impressive collection of exclusives. The Air Max LeBron VII Low was relatively quiet over the summer with very few colorways releasing but DJCK still managed to bring the LeBron VII Low back to the limelight with this great colorway of orange and blue. The upper features a bright tone of orange with a white midsole and speckled blue Air unit and translucent outsole. Surely a Hardwood Classic inspired colorway, these would’ve been a big hit had they released. Take another look at Clark Kent’s latest exclusives after the jump and let us know what you think. via DJCK’s Twitter.

Sunday is considered the “holiest” day by by American football fans across the nation and during yesterday’s Week 3 festivities, Nike unveiled its new ‘BOOM’ ad campaign that featured a number of celebrities and Nike athletes, most notably Bo Jackson, Tim Tebow, and hip-hop artist Rick Ross. These new short vids emphasize those Boom-worthy moments – a posterizing slam dunk, a vicious open-field tackle, a mean left-hook, an iced-out talking chain of yourself – with the stars acting as spectators to these wondrous events. Did you catch ‘em yesterday? Check out all three after the jump and let us know which Nike ‘BOOM’ ad is your favorite.

Here’s a detailed look at the upcoming Nike Zoom Kobe VI in Black, Del Sol, and Dark Grey; a teaser was available on Sneaker News Blogs but these newd detailed images give you a closer look at the snake-skin upper which features the weightless-yet-stable Flywire paneling beneath the skin. This December 2010 release of the Kobe VI features a Dark Grey midsole, a white forefoot sole, and del sol on the heel, with ‘VENOMENON’ stamped on the toe (originally shown on the heel in previous samples). The bottom traction also features a unique design that some have compared to the human lungs, and the endoskeleton of the tongue features a Torch-like material as well. Take a look at the extensive gallery after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more info, and head over to Marquee Sole because they’ve got a few pairs available right now!

The slide-out box returns once again for the LeBron eighth installment, and this time we get a first look at the packaging for the upcoming Nike Air Max LeBron VIII. It has been mentioned before that the LeBron VIII has more of a “luxurious” look than the LeBron VII, and the same could be said for the box; featuring juxtaposed side-portraits of LeBron James and his animalistic alter-ego the lion on the top face of the box, it appears that no other graphics are present on any other side – outside of a centered and minimalistic swoosh, a noticeable difference from the VII’s urban-inspired collage of imagery whic featured a number of his home-town landmarks. In this preview, we also get another look at the China Edition of the Air Max LeBron VIII, as well as new logo on the heel, something we could expect for upcoming special colorways like the Christ The King, Akron, SVSM, and more. Take a look at this gallery after the jump and let us know what you think of the box design, and be sure to check up on the LeBron VIII Release Dates. via LRJ23.

When Michael Jordan made his name at the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, UNC was playing their home games at the Carmichael Arena on campus in Chapel Hill. The building has changed to only house women’s games with men’s at the Dean Smith Center, and the shoe to whom the arena had lent its name has now pulled a similar switcheroo. The shoe is pretty much exactly the same, but the new name for the above pictured Jordan Brand basketball sneaker is the Jordan Pure J. Featuring a swooping, angular design, these could be seen somewhere between Air Jordans VI and XXII. But even that’s a bit of a stretch, with the Carmichael Pure J offering up an aggressive look all its own. Check out some new images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the upcoming Pure J releases.

It debuted last December as a collaboration with Denmark’s Wood Wood, but the Nike ACG LunarWood+ is more than just a clever name. The Lunarwood draws upon the two decade Wildwood trail running heritage, and updates it with Nike’s newest cushioning technology, LunarLon. That means you get a smooth, lightweight ride even in heinous conditions, and this dope colorway will turn heads on whether you’re on the streets or a path in the park. With a tonal brown upper that’s accented by purple hits including the midsole, these joints are both downright rustic and unavoidably eye-catching. Check out more shots after the jump and pick up a pair today from CrookedTongues.

We’re just under one month away from the tipoff of the 2010-11 NBA season, and a new season means a new Kobe Bryant signature. The Black Mamba will look to threepeat for the second time in his illustrious career, this time rocking the new Nike Zoom Kobe VI. In these super-detailed new photos courtesy of Marquee Sole’s Sneaker News blog, it’s easier to see that these scaley low-cut kicks feature Flywire than on any other pair aside from the pair that had red strands. With a tonal black Flywire infusion, the scales are the defining feature of this black, white and yellow pair, but don’t forget about the ‘Venomenon’ toe inscription done in what’s become the ZKVI’s typeface. Click the jump below for more and stick with Sneaker News for every colorway’s Zoom Kobe VI release date.

Bill Jordan’s camouflage designs are among the most respected by outdoorsmen of all persuasions. His Advantage Timber brand popped up on a couple of New Balance 575s last year, and now his other label has hunted down a duo of Nike SB mantelpieces. The Realtree x Nike SB Dunk Mid pictured above is completely covered in one of Jordan’s photorealistic camo prints, accented by deep green and blaze orange hits to complete the woodsman feel. Shades of Reese Forbes’ ‘Hunter’ Dunk Low to be sure, the Realtree Dunk Mids are set to hit retail soon, right as deer season begins in many states. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the Realtree x Nike SB Dunk release date. via Warped
