You can’t help but think the designers behind this upcoming Nike Dunk High Premium are fans of one Pedro Winter. The ‘Rainbow Pack’ Dunk High evokes a night out on the town in Paris or any of the other cities you might be able to catch Busy P spinning his electrofied dance grooves. The midsole on these Dunks is unmistakably reminiscent of Busy P’s 1World Air Force 1 from a couple years back, with the black upper featuring a scored, uneven glossy finish that resembles a snapshot of the shine emanating from a disco ball. Certainly one of the more eye-catching releases of 2010, these Rainbow Pack Dunks are set to drop soon, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Warped

Sneaker News brought you a front seat to the Summer/Fall 2010 debut of the Nike Hyperfuse, but here’s a look at four new colorways you can expect for the Holiday season. Sneaker News already showed you a sample of the Black/Volt colorway, but joining that colorway is one in a Phillies-like tonal team red upper with a white swoosh and heel, as well as a white/black San Antonio Spurs color-up. A fourth colorway feature white and varsity royal, with a familiar graphic on the ankle collar. You can expect all four colorways to hit Nike Basketball retailers very soon – Crooked Tongues already got their’s – so take a look at the new Nike Hyperfuse Holiday 2010 colorways after the jump and let us know which pair stands out the most.

Music to your ears? Sneaker News have you an Exclusive look at the Carmine colorway of the Air Jordan 6-17-23, the hybrid shoe that combined the Air Jordan VI with the Air Jordan XVII. A closer look at the tongue reveals the musical notes taken from Air Jordan XVII – the shoe was in fact inspired partly by jazz music -as well as the ribbed fabric from the tongue. Unfortunately many of our readers did not see eye-to-eye with the design of the 6-17-23 but with so many Air Jordan Retros occupying our attention, perhaps this second look might incite some positive response. The idea of combining two signature models totaling ’23′ is surely interesting and quite challenging at the same time, and if Jordan Brand chooses to continue forward with this concept, we can only anticipate what else might result. Take another look at the Air Jordan 6-17-23 ‘Carmine’ after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand exclusives and updates. via in52.

Yesterday, Sneaker News gave you preview at the Nike Lava Dunk, a hybrid boot that combined the Nike Lava Dome and the iconic Nike Dunk. Turns out the Lava Dunk was just the tip of the iceberg; the Nike Lava Dunk is part of the Nike Sportswear Athletics Far East, sort of a ‘yin’ to the Athletics West ‘yang’. Taking inspiration from the Athletics West training facility, the Nike Sportswear AFE collection originated in Nike Sportswear Design Studio in Japan and features a collection of classically inspired footwear, with the camouflage print being the signature staple of the Nike AFE capsule. We can expect two colorways of the Nike AFE Lava Dunk – black as well as a khaki beige – on October 1st, so continue reading for detailed gallery as well as full specs of this hybrid shoe and let us know what you’d expect from the Nike AFE (Athletics Far East) Collection.

LeBron James is ready to embark upon his eighth journey with Nike, and looking back from Nike LeBron 1-through-8, you can only help but ponder the evolution in the design and concept of his signature line. Even Lebron James knows that ‘Transformation is Unstoppable”, and that statement is certainly evident in the LeBron Signature Line, one that has seen a number of changes during its eight-year existence. Sneaker News has kept you on top of all Nike Air Max LeBron VIII news so this video isn’t exactly a teaser, but check out what LeBron James has to say about ‘Transformation’ after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more LeBron VIII info.

Releasing in late November is the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII in the USA colorway; featuring a classic mix of white, midnight navy, and varsity red, this USA-inspired color-up features white leather with midnight navy Flywire panels with a red tongue and trim. A look at the LeBron VIII ‘China Edition’ and we saw a special embossed tongue of a dragon – perhaps the USA version will get the same treatment? Perhaps a bald eagle or another certified ‘American’ animal? In terms of design, the jump from the LeBron VII to the LeBron VIII doesn’t seem like much but don’t be fooled by the 360 Air Unit; the upper is completely remodeled and has the luxury look in contrast with the sport look of the VII. Take a look at these new detailed images and stick with Sneaker News for more LeBron VIII Release Info. via in-52.

Kevin Durant, who was recently minted the MVP of the FIBA World Championships, will be a familiar face among video-gamers this fall as he has been chosen as poster-boy for the classic NBA Live series (which has been renamed to “Elite”). EA Sports, the long-time publisher of the game, has created a special PE of the upcoming Nike Zoom KD III featuring pixelated graphics on a OKC Thunder blue/orange colorway. You can see the ELITE ’11 designation on the lace dubrae as well as the EA Sports logo on the tongue. EA Sports has already done some great things with the Trainer 1.2. Mid – so how’s this KD III looking? Take a detailed look after the jump and let us know what you think. via Dime.

Arriving in November 2010 is the Air Jordan 1 Armor/Anonized in the Metallic Silver colorway; we first gave you a look at this shoe not long ago but here we get an even more detailed look. The metallic colorway legitimizes the ‘Armor‘ nickname that this shoe was first given and could be a better representative of the ‘Silver Anniversary’ of the Air Jordan than the Air Jordan 1 that released back in February. This colorway also comes with the blue-tinted translucent sole that has been a hot topic of conversation among Jordan Retro circles, but the cool hue pairs very well with the cold-steel look of the Metallic Silver Armor. Take a detailed look at this November 2010 release after the jump and grab a pair early today from RMKstore.

Now in its fifth decade of running, the Nike Classic Cortez is an iconic design that deserves new colorways to maintain its legend status. It’s clear with these two new pairs that the Cortez was made to shine with simple designs, and these three-colored pairs are right in step with what’s hot right now. Choose from a Chicago Bears mix of navy and orange or a subtler pair in tonal greys, both of which feature white accents on the tongue, sockliner and sole. Click the jump below to see more angles of these Cortez Classics and grab a pair from the United Kingdom’s Sole Haven. via EUKicks

Converse’s staple designs like the Jack Purcell and Chuck Taylor All Star are so strong that they kept the company afloat through its bankruptcy filing earlier this century. The One Star bounced back and better than ever, now a branch on the Nike, Inc. tree, and releases more and better Chucks and Jacks than ever before. Still, it’s great to see some new models on the way with that same classic feel, a niche filled admirably by the new Converse OS Academy Hi. These white leather hightops feature red stripes on either side of blue One Stars for a look that’s as all-American as their brand heritage. Check out more photos after the jump and grab yours today from Size?
