The Nike LeBron 8 (which we could designate the ‘V1′) is set to drop very soon the traditional black/red/white colorway. Despite not being the first release of the LeBron 8, many consider the black/red ‘Inline’ colorway as the mark of the next signature shoe. The China LeBron 8 and Miami-inspired Pre Heat LeBron 8 have already released but it’s the black/red colorway that could be the most anticipated colorway. These aren’t set to drop officially until October 26th, but here’s a chance to snag ‘em early. Usually one may need to pony up a few extra dollarss to get a shoe – particularly a signature shoe – ahead of time, but you can get yourself a pair of the Black/Sport Red LeBron 8 at a fairly generous discount from salturfootwear on eBay.

Years from now, we’ll look back on the Nike Air Force 1 Workboot with reverence. The general public will think nothing of the infusion of boot-inspired sneakers and hybrids aside from snatching up their rugged beauty, but sneakerheads will know it all started when that one model dropped early this year. The AF1 Workboot set off an avalanche of boot-infused kicks, the latest of which is another mountain of an Air Force 1, this time a Low from the Hiking Pack. These feature the same metallic hex-eyelets with corded laces on a monochromatic leather upper with white stitches and laces, with the first pair done up in a rich medium grey. About as perfect as you can get for a holiday 2010 time capsule sneaker, these joints are available from select Nike Sportswear accounts like Caliroots.

Jordan Brand has never offered as many boots as in 2010, with both the Spiz’ike and Six Rings hybrid models having ruggedized quite nicely into waterproof winter-ready boots. And just as the rest of the sneaker world is also offering boot-inspired looks on innumerable sneaker silhouettes, Jordan Brand has joined the fray with a look that evokes the OG Nike Air Magma ACG. The Jordan L’Style II is pictured above in a rich Cognac suede that adds a black midsole and select red accents, plus corded laces that combine the latter two shades. A look that’s all at once futuristic/progressive and reaching back to the familiar past, these joints will hit US JB retailers soon. via Chapter Express

The Brits always get lucky with the Air Max runners because JDSports always gets first dibs; this new colorway of the Air Max 90 features netural grey with splashes of Blue Mystery and a Black mudguard, Air Unit housing, and inner lining. A pretty basic combination of colors but that’s just how the Air Max runners become popular; nothing over-the-top but just enough to stick to one’s memory. The toe box and ankle feature microperforated leather instead of the mesh amd the swoosh is fashioned with patent leather, which leads us to confirm that there’s nothing really “mysterious” about Blue Mystery because it’s obvious that the color wants all the attention. This sick new colorway of the Air Max 90 just hit JDSports so take another look after the jump and head there to snag a pair.

adidas Originals have brought in a number of high-profile collaborators, especially for their ObyO capsules, but that in no way implies that Three Stripes is enduring a creative drought. Quite the opposite, in fact, as adidas seems to be inspired by all the quality teamwork, and continues to add new silhouettes to the lineup surprisingly often. One such new design is the adidas Originals Adi Rise Mid, an ankle-high lifestyle sneaker with nods to both the classic chukka boot and adidas’ own Forum basketball sneaker. This first colorway is perfect for cold weather in black leather with mauve accents, plus a Safari Print-like pattern on the rear quarter and ankle collar. Check out more shots after the jump and grab these from an adidas Originals retailer like CitySole.

The Nike ACG Air Wildwood is a classic Nike release that’s been retroed time and time again in a various colorways but it’s about time one came out that’s truly for the outdoors. Something like a big-game hunter’s camouflage, this new combination of olive khaki, black, and bright orange matches the ACG Wildwood‘s outdoors-y attitude while maintaining style with the perforated leather toebox and orange lining. Sneaker News previewed this colorway a month ago but these are now available at select Nike Sportswear retailers but you can grab a pair from 95soleman on eBay.

Often confused with the Air Royalty for its similar design and even more similar name, the Nike Air Royal Mid is an ’80s basketball-inspired lifestyle sneaker that seems to handle ‘concepts’ rather well. We’ve seen molded colorways like the Macarons Pack and other VT releases, we’ve seen some with unique colorblocking that doesn’t exactly follow the shoe’s natural lines, and now here’s a pair with wingtip-like brogue embellishments. And with an all-black leather upper, these would look the part of a dress shoe, except for the red sockliner that gives these a little hint of attitude. Check out more images and grab these from Nike Sportswear retailers including Caliroots.

When you mention ‘panda’ to a sneakerhead, chances are, he’s gonna conjure images of a black and white (and blue) sneaker. There have been plenty of panda-colored kicks over the years, but few have actually featured the giant vegetarian bears depicted in character form. For his Converse (RED) Chuck Taylor All Star High, Aaron ‘Angry Woebot‘ Martin added his signature crazed pandas to the side panels of a black canvas design that’s echoed on a couple different tee shirts to be given away compliments of Kicks/HI. Check out more images after the jump and get ready cos Kicks will have these in-store tomorrow and available for phone orders on Monday.

Last month, Sneaker News showed you a blood red and black Nike Dunk Low CL that’s part of Nike Sportswear’s Holiday 2010 collection, and the above pictured pair is more or less the hightop version of that same colorway, if inverted. The Nike Dunk High swaps the aforementioned Low’s Deep Garnet to the canvasy material on the underlay, opting for Anthracite suede on top. That blocking is vice-versa’d, but the black midsole/white outsole combo remains along with black laces, and while the Lows are still awaiting an official date, the Highs are available now from NikeStore.

Some new adidas releases should have you geared up for winter while keeping your feet warm and fresh at the same time. First up is the adidas Hike Book in a black/white/blue colorway and the trademark zig-zag design taken from the adidas OT Tech Pack of earlier this year. An all-new colorway of the adidas Fortitude Mid in Black, Red, and White just dropped as well, as did a canvas uppered adidas Originals Nizza High in olive green. All three just dropped over at Extra Butter so check out the gallery of images after the jump and hit them up with a phone order and they’ll have them at your door in no-time.
