The Nike Hyperdunk 2010 is a strong candidate for ‘most radioactive’ sneaker yet.  We’ve already seen the entire range of neons from the Highlighter Pack and several others that utilize Volt and similar shades, and the latter is the case with this new kids-only release.  The HD2k10 GS pictured above goes the simple route and combines an all black base with select Volt accents, including a translucent section of the outsole that stretches up onto the lateral outrigger.  Check out more shots of these after the jump and look for them at select Nike Basketball retailers shortly; they just hit Taiwan’s Kumastock.

Are your eyes playing tricks on you? A few months back Sneaker News previewed this pair of the Nike Toki ND but one obvious change has been made; while this pair features a tonal varsity red suede upper, the earlier version previewed by Sneaker News featured a black toe to match to swoosh. Remaining are the trail-inspired laces, gold eyelets, polka-dotted interior, and black swoosh, completing a lux look for the Nike Toki. It appears no more changes can be made because these just released at Nike Sportswear retailers, but you can pick up a pair of this great new release from JBseller on eBay.

The most recent Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar release echoed the start of fall with its rich pumpkin pie colorway.  For the next Salazar, Nike SB is going an entirely different route, possibly en route to vacation in the Caribbean.  These joints feature a deep blue as beautiful as the world’s most pristine beaches, and red accents give them a warm, vibrant look.  Whether with black laces or red, with the tongue pad or without, this new Omar Salazar is yet another dope release from Nike SB and should hit stateside SB spots soon, as they’ve just touched down at Korean retailer Kasina.

In early August Sneaker News brought you an exclusive look at the Nike Air Force 1 Low Tuff Tech Pack, which featured three tonal colorways constructed partially of a rugged grip-tape like material that helps prevent damage from scuffs, scratches, and anything else that makes you cringe. The Dark Obsidian colorway was one of the three previewed colorways, and these new images offer a better look at the TUF material – one that’s been seen in other sneakers like Vans Skate and Supra. The Air Force 1 Low Tuff Tech Pack is set to release soon so take a look at these new images and stick with Sneaker News for more release info.

Japanese footwear specialists, mita sneakers, have collaborated on a number of projects with Asics over the years, and this new pair marks the third release from their ‘Kirimomi Project’.  The mita sneakers x Asics Gel Lyte III pictured above comes to us in a siple mix of black and white, but the cookies-n-cream colorup belies this pair’s subtle details.  When you get in close, you’ll notice a tonal cheetah print, one that’s both easier to see in these new photos and replicated in color on the insoles.  Those inner soles also read ‘FAR EAST TOKYO UENO’, a sendup of the beautiful Ueno district of Tokyo, Japan.  A subtle application of a typically gawdy animal print, these Kirimomi Project GLIIIs is available for pre-sale at mita sneakers with an October 2nd ship date.

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.

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.

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.
