Long before ‘The Decision‘, the media poked fun at LeBron James possibly ‘taking his talents’ to the Cleveland Browns, catch passes and viciously blocking field-goal attempts for the other hometown team. In reality, LeBron James took his talents to Miami (the Heat, not the Dolphins) and that Bron-to-Browns dream was buried, and it’s doubtful he’ll ever join the the NFL – although he’d be one helluva tight end. LeBron James was in fact spotted at the season-opener between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys – the latter being LeBron’s favorite NFL team. Of course being LeBron means getting special treatment, like being able to walk the sidelines and snap a few pictures with the Cowboys, and he did all that while wearing a crisp pair of the Air Jordan XI Space Jam. Take a look at the gallery after the jump and let us know how you think LeBron would perform if he ever traded his basketball kicks for some turf cleats. via Yahoo!/Getty.

It goes without saying that you need new sneaker colorways to match your autumn and winter fits, and with their latest V.2 Grown colorways, Jordan Brand has come with enough heat to keep you toasty till spring. Proof that the V2 Grown looks great in a variety of materials, these joints are crafted in rich, oiled tumbled leather that gives these a premium look. There’s one pair in caramel brown with red laces for a bit of the ACG Air Magma feel, with another adding yellow laces to contrast a chocolate brown upper.

On Saturday, October 2nd, a milestone Air Jordan Retro will release – and its a kids shoe. What’s the big hoopla surrounding this kids shoe? The Air Jordan II in Lavendar and Deep Purple is the first female-designed Air Jordan in the history of the entire catalog, and bar’s been set pretty high for anyone else who is next in line. The sleek colorway was chosen by Vashtie Kola, a reputable name in the urban-fashion and hip-hop culture scene, and inspired by her clothing label Violette; this limited release will also come with special Violette tissue paper that matches the wholly feminine color-combination of purple tones and glittery laces. Again, these are a limited release with stock only going to the most select Jordan Brand retailers (House of Hoops in Harlem and Long Island being two known spots), so take another look after the jump and hit up Extra Butter on October 2nd for this historic release.

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.
Style: 407770-002
Color: Black/Volt

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.
Style: 386612-400
Color: Night Fall/Varsity Crimson-Black

Angel Cabada founded KR3W back in 2006, with Supra started as an offshoot four years later. Another four years and it’s today, and we’re still awaiting the drop of the Krew footwear collection. In the meantime, Cabada and company are giving us an opportunity to enjoy a collaborative effort between the two brands. Covering all their bases, the Supra x KR3W Franchise Pack contains a Supra Vaider hightop done in KR3W’s 11oz. slub denim, along with a matching snap-back hat and bandana. The kicks are co-branded, with KR3W riveting coming in on the Vaider’s signature tongue stripe. Check out more shots after the jump and look for these today at select Supra retailers.

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.
