Just yesterday Sneaker News showed you images of the Nike LeBron VIII V2, a secondary version of the Nike LeBron VIII for LBJ to wear as the season progresses. Offering a lighter package and more ventilation, the V2 will surely benefit LeBron James as he will enjoy the weight advantages as the season progresses. Of course, when presented with a new pair of shoes, most sneakerheads will ask: “What do they look like on feet?”. Here’s another look at the Nike LeBron VIII V2 in White/Grey/Varsity Red; the silhouette of V2 remains the same, while the upper synthetic shell features Flywire panels with a perforated mesh underlayer. Take another look at this upcoming LeBron shoe and let us know how you think these will look on feet. via hoopchina.

Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER streetwear label just got up with Nike Running on the GYAKUSOU capsule that debuted at Stadium Milano alongside the ‘Moon to Lunar’ installation, but here’s a new UNDERCOVER x Nike collab that’s a bit more organic. The UNDERCOVER x Nike Air Revaderchi resurrects a classic All Conditions Gear trail runner we haven’t seen since last summer teased us with what could have been the ‘new Safari print’. Instead, that pattern turned out to be sort of a camouflage underneath which the Revaderchi has been hiding ever since, but these new subtle colorways bring the Revaderchi into the present quite nicely.
Brown and greys are typically used as buffer colors to balance out other high-contrast shades, so the combination of both on each of these pairs makes for a warm, washed out look that feels like they’re bleached from days in the sun, even if it’s a bit colder on autumn days. The footwear equivalent of a new chillwave EP with familiar samples, these joints will pop up rather suddenly this Wednesday, October 20th at select Nike Sportswear retailers including UNDERCOVER in Japan, so stick with Sneaker News for updates on a possible US drop date. via Honeyee

Yesterday Sneaker News gave you a first look at the Nike LeBron 8 V2, an secondary version of the LeBron 8 in a lighter Ashiko-boot style upper material. Before that style releases, the primary version featuring leather or suede uppers will hit stores, like this Black/Anthracite (also dubbed the ‘Triple Black‘). Arriving in stores this December is the all-black-everything colorway of the LeBron 8, featuring a tonal black upper and lower end with a clear Air unit bubble. The all-black colorway has been a tradition in the Nike LeBron line starting from the Zoom LeBron IV so no big surprise here. Perhaps a LeBron 8 V2 Triple Black will arrive as well, as LeBron James was seen wearing an all-black colorway of what now appears to be the V2 during a the King’s Academy Camp in San Diego back in July. Expect the Triple-Black LeBron 8 to hit Nike Basketball retailers like Foot Locker on December 11th.

Here’s a shoe that captures two (and a half) trends common amongst many recent Jordan Brand releases: they combine classic Air Jordan aesthetics and Air Max cushioning (specifically Nike Air Max retro runners), and we’re seeing kicks from MJ’s second title run appear with more ballistic nylon than ever before. Following on the heels of the updated AJXIII ‘Altitude’ and its predecessors in the CMFT series, the Jordan CMFT Max 12 combines a low-cut take on the Air Jordan XII upper combined with the Air Max 97 sole that intially released the same summer Mike wore the Twelves to his fifth chip. Check a new colorway that show how much this shoe is designed to be lifestyle friendly even as much as it reps the AJ legacy, with a range of greys and blacks contrasted by select red and white hits. Photos of two different pairs await your click on the jump below, and check back for more from the Jordan CMFT Max series here on Sneaker News. via NT

Nike continues to grow the massive Asian footwear market, with everything from AP-exclusive colorways from some of the hottest kicks to tours from the biggest Nike Basketball stars and plenty of rich retail experiences across the continent. One such taste of Far East flavor is the latest China-edition Carmelo Anthony signature that you’ll hear people call the ‘Classic Jades’. The Air Jordan Melo M7 JD features that signature green shade on its translucent heel counter and outsole, plus a darker shade on the sockliner that nicely contrasts the red laces. Jade has played a big role in traditional Chinese aesthetics, and this very well might go down as one of Melo’s all-time classics.

The Air Jordan XIV ‘Indiglo’ hit in 1999 with the first neon green accents on a pair of Jays, and the next time a green XIV hit retail in ’05, the colorblocking was nearly opposite. It’s been roughly the same amount of since the only green-featuring colorway of the Fourteen’s predecessor, but instead of a whole new edition, expect slight changes to the original. The ‘Altitude’ Air Jordan XIII now comes with the ballistic nylon ‘dimple’ panels that appear on the Flints and Breds, so the buttery soft leather is segregated to the toe and tongue. Everything else from the pebbled rear mudguard and heel to the signature sole remains the same, so click the jump below to see more detailed images and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Air Jordan release dates. via MarqueeSole

The Workboot versions of the Nike Air Force 1 High dropped in Spring 2010 and popped up again for the Holiday season. In September, two low-top versions of Air Force 1 Workboot appeared, much to the satisfaction of AF1-heads who were strictly low-top. The black and grey colorways we showed you are actually designated the Air Force 1 Low Hiking Pack the tonal white midsole and black upper with white contrast stitching and perforated swoosh with a hexagonal eyelets complete the overall look of this release. One item to note: the laces have been swapped to work/hike-boot style laces. The black joints just dropped at Nike Harajuku and you can expect these to hit Nike Sportswear retailers soon.

The adidas ZX8000 very well might be Three Stripes’ flagship retro runner. With tech that was super-premium when they initially released and still comfy today, the ZX 8000 has the golden age looks to rival Nike Sportswear offerings like the Air Max 1 and AM90. This newest pair of ZX8000s goes with a colorway we’ve seen the Swoosh use a few times, blending several earthy brown and green tones as the base for just a hint of purple to peek out from the sockiner. The end result is a cold weather kick that shows you’ve got your eye on the details, and you can grab a pair today from Schuh-You.

We’ve seen the Nike Air Max 2011 along with a new generation of Lunar-cushioned runners, so what else does Nike Running have in store for next year? The Nike Air Relentless looks to be something of a bargain compared to its aforementioned peers, this speculation based on their use of a Phylite midsole and encapsulated Air unit in the heel. That’s not as ‘space age’ as the Lunar releases we’ve been seeing and they lack any semblance of Flywire, but with an ultra-breathable Torch upper, the Air Max Relentless appears to be just that: a runner that won’t quit. And there are a ton of colorways on deck, so click the jump below to see the full range of Nike Air Max Relentless colorways for Summer 2011. via CK

adidas Originals has a massive catalog of classic designs, but here’s a new release that only looks like it was created a quarter-century ago. The adidas Originals Hard Court hints at Three Stripes’ ’80s basketball aesthetic with its hightop cut. An ‘x’ overlay on the ankles immediately conjures images of the Forum Mid, and while the sole is a slimmed down vulcanized one to keep with today’s trends, there’s no denying its lines resemble the Metro Attitude. The first three colorways are every bit as timeless as the design, with one pair going the Chicago-style route, another opting for a simple contrast of white and blues, and a third offering a bit of the ‘Grape’ flavor. Check out shots of all three by clicking the jump below and look for these this month at Eastbay.
