Nike’s Action Sports wing just dropped two new colorways of the auto-claved Nike Dunk that originally debuted earlier this year. The Black pair features a synthetic leather upper with a gum auto-claved midsole and a gradient color scheme on the inner lining, while the second pair features a neutral grey upper fashioned by a corduroy-like material. The Nike 6.0 Dunk SE is the perfect shoe for lovers of the Dunk who also prefer the comfy auto-claved midsole, and the slightly fattened tongue adds enough comfort (and visual appeal) as well. Check out the detailed shots after the jump and pick up either pair now at Nikestore.

It would be easy to connect the all-black colorways of Nike LeBrons to James’ acquaintanceship with Jay-Z, but there really is no correlation between the two – although this soon-to-release colorway of the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier IV does represent the all-black-everything to a tee. Based on the materials, this shoe doesn’t look much different from the Jay-Z x Nike Air Force 1 WBF ‘Puerto Rico’ that also featured both full-grain and perforated leather. If the all-black motif is one you prefer, take a look at a the detailed gallery of the all-black Zoom Soldier IV and pre-order your pair now from EastBay.

Before the first store opened on 125th St. in Harlem, ‘House of Hoops’ was just a series of Foot Locker commercials featuring This Old House star Norm Abram. But when the first HOH cut the tape in 2007, sneakerheads finally started getting a chance at Player Exclusive sneakers that’d previously been next to impossible to cop. Currently inside the Chicago House of Hoops, you’ll find a new PE wall, displaying nearly 20 of the NBA’s best via their personalized kicks. The range runs from certified superstars like Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade, all the way through to J.R. Smith’s Nike Air Max A Lot and Tayshaun Prince’s Shox Vision. Check out photos of the Chicago HOH PE wall after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the latest NBA player exclusives. via MN

Nearly two years back, the Made for Skate book launched with help from a Nike SB Blazer High collaboration. These new SB Blazers are also Holland-related and feature blue and yellow, but the result is entirely different. Amsterdam skate shop BenG designed this Blazer SB High, flipping the Made for Skate script and using blue and yellow for select accent hits. The base, then, is constructed in white leather, which looks super clean underneath black Swooshes. The BenG logo is on the heel tab and you can see more shots of these by clicking the jump below. They should be out soon, with Korean retailer Kasina already selling theirs.

It’s that time of the year again! October is considered to be one of the best months of the year for spectators of all sports, because the NFL Season is in full effect, the MLB Playoffs are under way, and the NBA Season is about to begin. Sneaker News readers might be most interested in the sport mentioned last, because with NBA Games comes NBA Feet, and Sneaker News has been on top of all the on-court kicks – the latest releases or some certified heat – that have been spotted on the NBA hardwood, and it all starts again today with Media Day for the 2010-2011 NBA Season. Old faces in new places, rising superstars, and youngsters looking to establish themselves are all part of this feature, but take a look at some of these pre-season kicks and a few sightings might surprise you! via NBA.com/Getty.

You might be telling yourself “We saw this colorway already!”. What you see here is actually a sample pair of the Black, Sport Red, White, and Metallic Gold colorway of the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII that is currently scheduled for a release at Nike Basketball retailers like Foot Locker. There a few minor differences between this pair and the Black/Varsity Red colorway we’ve been showing you, so let’s start from the top; the borders of the Flywire panel are red, the ‘figure-8′ lace eyelet is gold, the midsole does not feature speckling, the swoosh border is black, and the most obvious telltale sign that this is indeed an older issue is the ‘L23′ logo on the heel as well as the bottom sole, since LeBron changed his jersey number from Jordan’s ’23′ to Julius Erving’s ’6′. Sneaker News recently provided a number of release dates for the LeBron VIII and while the Black/Varsity Red colorway will still release on October 26th, there’s a chance that this version – with a few changes needing to be addressed – could released. Take a look at the gallery of images after the jump and let us know which pair – this sample or the releasing version – you prefer.

Here are two more Nike Air Force 1 Low colorways to expect to arrive in the coming months; both feature perforated swooshes with apt color-contrast on the heel tabs and bottom soles. The white pair features a Dark Cinder tone with a gum sole while the black joints are paired with its long-time friend white on the heel tab, laces, and bottom sole. Similar to the Pale Blue WMNS Air Force 1 Low that was previewed just a few days ago, these two new colorways should be hits for the old-school Air Force 1 heads who prefer the simple-yet-effective look. Take a look at the detailed shots after the jump and expect the White/Dark Cinder pair to drop in October with the Black/Sail to hit in December.
