OG heads, your moment has come. It’s time to rejoice, because the Nike Air Trainer SC II is returning in the Summer 2011 season. Last year we saw the OG colorways of a number of Air Trainers re-issue and now we can add the Trainer SC II to that list. Nike toyed with our emotions with the release of an auto-claved version of the classic Trainer, but it appears it was just a precursor to the actual retro. You can expect something close to the original colorway to drop alongside a few others, so stick with Sneaker News for more release info regarding this historic Retro, and for the youngsters who aren’t familiar with the shoe, check out the pair of the OGs after the jump.

Not long ago Sneaker News showed you a sample pair of the Nike Hyperfuse the featured a tonal black upper and a bright Volt midsole. This new colorway of the Hyperfuse features identical color-blocking with Varsity Red take over the midsole. Is it safe to expect more colorways like this? The Hyperfuse will definitely be a popular shoe among NBA guards this upcoming season – we already showed you a quartet of Hyperfuse PEs – so as long as the colors match the team uniform, you should expect to see them on court. The Black/Varsity Red Hyperfuse will drop at Nike Basketball retailers soon so take a look at the detailed shots after the jump and let us know what colorway you’d like to see. via Dunk.

“Growing up, I was always a sneakerhead.”
C.J. Miles of the Utah Jazz spent a day with Aron of Dime Magazine to chat kicks and hit up sneaker spots to do a little shopping in New York City (while wearing the Air Jordan VII Miro Olympic). Miles hit up Niketown as well as Flight Club on Greene St. and ended up with a total of sixteen pairs, which is tame compared to his 22-pair splurge last year at Flight Club. In the Dime TV video, we get a chance to look at Miles’ latest pick-ups and some of his personal favorites, like the Air Jordan 1 25th Anniversary and the Air Jordan XII ‘Nubuck’, as well as some of the Jays he wore during the regular season – the Air Jordan Six Rings and Rising Sun Jordan XII. Check out the entire video after the jump to check out Miles’ kicks, and let us know if you’ve got similar sneaker tastes with the prep-to-pro star.

If it’s for a good cause, people will lend a hand, but for the (RED) campaign, celebrities and designers have come out of the woodworks. For footwear, many notables have collaborated with (RED) to produce special editions of classic shoes and buyers have been especially willing to shell out the dough because the proceeds were being used for a greater deed. Here’s a look at New York artist Giovanni Estevez’s Converse Chuck Taylor designed for the (RED) collection; it features a tonal black upper with the powerful red on the uppermost eyelet and All-Star tab on the heel, and features Estevez’s interpretation of the NYC skyline stitched on the upper. Take a look at the gallery after the jump and head to Livestock to get your pair.

One can attribute bright neon colors and over-the-top styling to Japanese footwear flavor, but this latest Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke from Nike Harajuku is as All-American as you can get. Here’s a look at a Bespoke inspired by a pair of jeans; the upper features classic blue denim with yellow contrast stitching and a red swoosh border. The heeltab is a smooth brown leather as is the inner lining, mimicking the rear jean tags, with “W30 W34″ -presumably the designers jeans size – printed on the heel-tab of the right shoe. Many of the Bespokes we’ve seen from Harajuku have been very overwhelming in terms of materials and colors but it is clear that the mind behind this idea had it set in stone before the reservation was even made. Continue reading for another look and let us know what you think of the design.

Arriving as part of the Nike SB Summer 2011 Collection is a simple white/blue pair of the Nike SB Zoom Bruin, taken after the Richard Mulder x Nike SB Dunk Low from the First Series Nike SB Dunk generation. Mulder’s original design featured a white leather body construction with an Orion Blue swoosh, which can be said for the upcoming Bruin – though the upper appears to be nubuck instead of the original leather material found in Mulder’s SB Dunk. Is this colorway just a coincidence (like the ‘Tiffany’ Janoski? Does Nike SB have plans to release a number of their SB models inspired by colorways from some of the most memorable SBs? ‘Retro-ing’ SB Dunks has been a hot topic of conversation among Nike SB circles so let us know what you think of a possible reincarnation of older SB Dunks in other models. via N-SB.

“Black Friday”, aka the day after Thanksgiving, is considered to be a bargain-hunters dream, with TVs, electronics, clothing, even cars going for sale with severe markdowns.

The official retail release date has been set for November 26th, 2010, the day after Turkey Day, and while many people line up overnight for flat-screen TVs for more than half off, you’ll need to pay full price for this upcoming Jordan Retro – unless you’ve got some sweet hook-ups. You can expect to find these at Jordan Brand retailers like Foot Locker so check out the new gallery of images after the jump and let us know if you’d be extra thankful to have these in your hands.

The Jordan V.2 Grown was introduced over the summer as a grown-up’s Jordan, so what can get more ‘grown-up’ than black leather? Here’s a detailed look at an upcoming colorway of the Jordan V.2 Grown; featuring a tonal black leather upper with perforated leather on the toe/tongue and red laces and bottom sole, this colorway surely emanates the grown look to a tee. With the elastic side-panel gusset and the chukka construction, you could mistake these for a leather city-trekker boot you’d find at men’s specialty shop but you’ll be pleased to know that these will be at Jordan Brand retailers this October. Finally, a pair of Jordans you can rock with a suit. via Dunk.

“Don’t just take your game to the next level. Take flight.”
The first ever Air Jordan shoe with full-length 360 Air with launch this October, as the Air Jordan Take Flight will make its debut on shelves of Jordan Brand retailers and basketball courts nationwide. There’s a lot more to the Take Flight than the 360-Air; the lockdown fit of the Take Flight and the added traction on the outrigger allow for optimal fit and feel, but aside from a technical POV, the Air Jordan Take Flight is a beauty of a shoe. With flowing lines on the upper and elephant print on the patent leather mudguard, the Take Flight has the makings for a successful shoe based on the classic inspiration of the upper design. Is this the first of many 360-Air laden Jordans? Take a look at the video after the jump for more details and expect the Air Jordan Take Flight to be available in a number of great colorways starting this October.

The last Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke @ Nike Harajuku that we showed you featured a mix of crazy colors with elephant print covering the entire upper of the shoe. Although it seemed like too much at once, it did seem somewhat ‘controlled’. Here’s a look at the ninth Bespoke to come out of Nike Harajuku, and clearly the word ‘control’ had nothing to do with this one. The designer behind this shoe went all out on the materials, splurging on every possible design option available – matte black croc skin on the center panel and toe box, a translucent material on the swoosh with different colors on the medial and laterla side, a tiger-striped swoosh underlayer, baseball-stitching on the heel panel, black/blue elephant print on the tongue with a distressed metallic gold logo-less tongue label, and an interested black/white textured applique on the toe. The whole hodgepodge of designs sits on top of a translucent sole that was seen on a number of Air Force 1 Supreme releases a few years back. Check out the the extra shots after the jump and let us know what you think of the design.
