Yesterday Sneaker News showed you the latest collaboration between skate/street brand Stussy and Nike, a Nike All Court Mid featuring classic Stussy markings and faux-snakeskin print. A second colorway has surfaced, described as ‘Blue canvas Mysto’. The upper features a blue canvas material with the snakeskin print on the swoosh and the heel, with Stussy labels on the tongue – the signature double-S on the outer face and ‘Past, Present, Future’ on the inner – with a unique insole design. Check out the gallery of images of this second colorway of the Stussy x Nike All Court Mid after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more information on this exciting new collaboration. via honeyee.

Richard Seymour put Ben Roethlisberger on his backside but the Steelers had the last laugh in a 35-3 trouncing of the Raiders on Sunday afternoon, a win that confirms Pittsburgh’s place right at the top of the AFC’s Super Bowl contender list.  Here’s a new Nike Dunk Low CL that’ll play well in the Steel City, a black suede design with yellow nylon side panels that’d also likely be welcome in the ‘slums of Shaolin’.  We’ve seen plenty of Penguins/Steelers/LIVESTRONG colorups in recent years, but these stand out by flipping the script and using a black midsole/white outsole combination.  These will likely hit Nike Sportswear retailers shortly and have just started pre-selling at Japan’s mita sneakers.

Christmas Day is kinda like the NBA’s Super Bowl: they run on TV more or less unopposed and these matchups generally draw the highest ratings of any regular season game all year.  This year, the league’s three biggest names will face off as Kobe Bryant’s LA Lakers take on LeBron, Dwayne Wade and the Miami Heat in the most eagerly anticipated matchup of the young season.  The past few days have shown us that Kobe’s rocking the Grinch/Cato look, while King James will go for a more traditional X-mas getup in the Nike LeBron VIII V.2 ‘Christmas’.  From the red/green colorup to ‘snowy’ white speckles on the midsole, these are both one of the best LeBron VIII colorways yet and definitely among the top Christmas colorways in history.  Have a closer look by clicking on the jump below and stick with Sneaker News for the Christmas LeBron 8 V2 release date. via Kickz-Lab.

Several recent pairs of Nike Air Force 1 Lows are ‘missing’ their Swooshes, but look great all the same!  Ok, ‘missing’ is a bit of a misnomer, as the Swooshes on pairs from the Workboot, Hiking and a couple unofficial ‘packs’ are made from a line of perforations, a super-clean look that translates well to this ladies-only two-toned release.  These joints are all Neutral Grey except for teal laces and outsoles in the Retro shade, a look that adds some vibrancy during the time of year you’re likely to see a grey sky.  More pictures of the latest WMNS Air Force 1 Low follow the jump and they’re available now from Kicks-Crew, or score yourself a pair on eBay.

The recently released Jordan CMFT Max Air 12 saw three different colorways hit stores – one in a ‘Playoffs’ inspired combo, another with a faux-reptil mudguard, and a third in a ‘silver bullet’ colorway. Here’s a look at a sample pair that has yet to release; it features a darker shade of grey, or Midnight Fog (not Pog as the tag mistakenly states), with Spice, which is a burnt tone of red. The nice combination of colors may remind you of the recently re-released Air Jordan IX Charcoal, but being in the Sample stage, a release has not yet been confirmed. Check out the extra images after the jump and to pick up this one shoe (yes, one shoe, not a pair), take a look at the auction from kdrshoesource on eBay.

You can do your best to be a ‘good boy’ and get on Santa’s good side, or you can simply take matters into your own hands and do the logical thing by kidnapping one of Santa’s prized reindeer. Foot Locker states “It’s a sneaker thing”, which we all can agree with to some degree – we’re sure you are all guilty of some level of conniving acts to get your kicks, but to kidnap and hold for ransom one of Santa’s nine homeboys? That might be crossing the line, but in the end, Santa’s benevolent nature (and fear for his reindeer) gives in to the kidnappers demands of a pair of Nike Hyperdunk 2010, Reebok Zig Slash, and adidas adiZero Rose. Check out the commercial after the jump and let us know what’s on the Top 3 of your Holiday wish list!

Here’s a clear case of perfect timing.  Not necessarily in Kevin Durant’s return to the Oklahoma City Thunder’s active roster on Monday night (Russell Westbrook and co. proved they can do alright for themselves without the Durantula in a couple of key road wins), but rather, a detailed look at Durant’s third signature in a colorway he debuted last night.  The Nike Zoom KD III is pictured above in a white/black based colorup that nicely compliment’s OKC’s home jerseys.  This Ford Center colorup features just enough orange and yellow accents to tie in with the Thunder logo, and you can see a bunch of new photos after the jump.  via Taobao

As is the case with the Nike Air Foamposite One colorway it draws on, the Air Jordan Six Rings in Dark Neon Royal is on tap for a Spring 2011 release, and there’s already another satiny metallic pair in the works for soon thereafter.  Nobody would cry if the Pewter colorway made its way over to a 6 Rings port, but you can also expect a resoundingly positive reaction from the Metallic Black 6 Rings.  Looking a tiny bit like the Black Air Force 1 Foamposite that will release to retail this Friday, the Metallic Black Six Rings is dark as night, save for the translucent sole, and features a matte if metal-like finish on its not-quite-patent, not-quite-Foamposite mudguard and heel.  Have a closer look and stick with Sneaker News for these and all Air Jordan release dates.  via in52

Kevin Durant returned to the NBA hardwood after being sidelined for a few games with a sprained ankle. Well, the Thunder managed to win both games in Durant’s absence and upon his return, the young squad won by a larger margin against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After a premature debut of the Nike Zoom KD III by Durant’s teammates Royal Ivey and D.J. White, Kevin Durant made his own debut of the Zoom KD III in the ‘Home’ colorway of white, black, blue, and orange. Dropping 28 points, grabbing 8 boards, dishing out 5, denying 3, and pick-pocketing 1, Kevin Durant didn’t miss a single step from his return from injury and set the stage for the Zoom KD III in the perfect way – by helping his team win. In fact, the early debut of his sig shoe might not have bothered Durant at all because he’s expressed a desire for the KD III to be worn around the league and not just by him. Check out the gallery of Kevin Durant’s first ever game in the Nike Zoom KD III after the jump and rank, in order from 1 to 3, the three best players in the NBA right now! via ESPN.
