Supreme designer Luke Meier created the Supreme x Nike SB ’94, and while it’s the first skateboarding shoe to ever feature Foamposite technology, it’s certainly not the first Meier-created skate shoe. That’d be the Luke Meier for Vans Syndicate Zero Low ‘S’, a lowtop with plimsoll basics plus a bunch of extra details. Three colorways dropped back in July and with the biggest sneaker drop day of the year set for Black Friday, here comes a new colorway that’s exclusive to Supreme stores. It’s all navy blue on the upper, save white laces that match the all-white waffle sole. Check out more shots after the jump plus a concept video directed by Khalil Joseph at the Vans x Luke Meier minisite and grab yours at Supreme on November 26th.

When we first caught that sneak peek of Mark Parker holding the haroshi Dunk last week, it seemed reasonable enough to think that Nike had created a new collaboration shoe imitating the style of the artist’s sculpture work. Thanks to some new pics and info from Hypebeast, it’s now clear that these are an amazing piece of sculpture art, crafted so intricately, that from a distance, it looks like a fully wearable shoe. haroshi’s attention to detail is staggering. By stacking and fusing old used skate decks from the Nike SB team, haroshi modeled this masterpiece from a pair of his own worn Dunks, staying true to even the smallest details of the shoe’s form. Keep reading for a better look and understanding of how the piece was created and be sure to check out the way the the stacked skate deck noses perfectly mimic the curve of the Dunk’s toe.

Another handful of NBA games and action went down and the past weekend was filled with astounding headlines and results. Rudy Gay sank the Wade-less Miami Heat with a buzzer beater while wearing his Home colorway of the Nike Hyperfuse PE, while opponent LeBron James wore the black/red Nike LeBron 8. Out in LA, the Lakers routed its Nor-Cal rivals the Golden State Warriors in style; Kobe went back to the White/Del Sol colorway of the Kobe V while teammate Shannon Brown wore a Team Bank colorway of white and purple. Other players who have worn the Kobe V frequently showed off some great personalized ‘iD’ colorways, like Ronny Turiaf’s Knicks colorway, Andray Blatche’s Wizards colorway, and DeJuan Blair wore a shiny silver/black colorway. Other notables included Rip Hamilton’s Air Jordan II, Trevor Ariza’s Hyperdunk 2010 PE, and Antonio McDyess’ Jumpman Pro Strong.

The shopping season usually spills beyond the month of December into January and February with severe markdowns and stockroom clearing deals, but this is one hot item that some might have been saving up their dollars for a long while. Here’s a first look at the Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’ that is currently set for a tentative January 2011 release; this colorway was worn by Michael during the 1998 NBA All-Star Game – his final All-Star Game appearance as a Chicago Bull – and during the 1998 Playoffs in two varieties – the Mid version for Home games a special PE low for Home games in the second round. All the AJ13 releases, namely the Flint XIII dropping this Friday and the Altitude XIII next month, may seem like overkill, but who’s really complaining? Check out these detailed images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand release updates. via MarqueeSole.

Earlier this month, we got a look at two black Nike SB Dunk Highs. One featured white and red accents and will never be released, while the other was completely blacked out and judging by the texture of the upper in the first images we saw, it’s constructed of an atypical material. Could it be griptape? Probably not; the images looked considerably smoother than your average sandpaper. How about TecTuff leather, like the stuff we saw on a series of Air Force 1 Lows? That was closer, but still not quite right, and now we know with certainty that the above pictured Dunk High SB is made almost entirely of waterproof Gore-Tex material. All black everything and all GTX except for a suede Swoosh, these joints will will hit select SB retailers for December 2010. via HS

The world has its way of maintaining a balance wherever necessary. What goes up, must go down. If there’s a heaven, there’s a hell. And if Santa Claus truly exists, then the Grinch is out there opening your presents. Take a look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘Christmas’ with a green and black upper that may remind you of the Christmas-time antagonist known as The Grinch; it features a tonal green upper with the reptilian shell a lighter shade, sitting atop a translucent green outsole. This Kobe VI colorway is almost the ‘opposite’ of the Nike LeBron 8 V2 ‘Christmas’, which features a Santa Claus-like colorway, and on Christmas Day, there’s a good chance we could see both of ‘em on Kobe and LeBron’s feet during the Miami and LA’s Christmas-Day match-up. Continue reading for extra images of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘Christmas’ and let us know what you think. via MarqueeSole’s SN Blog.

Ballistic nylon has become an increasingly popular design choice for sneakers in recent years, but one colorway of one legendary shoe stands out as the watershed moment when this tough-as-nails material had its breakthrough. The Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ debuted in 1998 rocking French Blue dimpled side panels six years before that shade served as the name for an equally impressive AJ12 retro release. And even though these sections make up the majority of the AJ13′s upper, this particular palette became known for its signature shade of grey along the suede mudguard and midsole sections. Keep reading after the jump for some nice new Kenlu pics of the Flints, currently slated to drop alongside numerous other high profile releases on Black Friday. If you can’t wait, early adopters can already grab their AJXIII ‘Flints’ on eBay.

Perforated swooshes used to be a rare treat but now many recent Air Force 1 releases have featured the eye-catching design cue – meaning there might be less room in your closet. For Air Force 1 fans who need to have any and every colorway, this new Black/Ink colorway that was previewed in our Holiday 2010 Air Force 1 Preview is one that should be atop the ‘wanted’ list; the black tonal black leather upper sums up the whole picture but an added touch of Ink – a dark purple – is added to the bottom sole, laces, heeltab, tongue label, and ‘AIR’ on the midsole, and of course the perforated swoosh provides the subtle touch of luxury. These are set to drop early December at Nike Sportswear retailers but you can pick up a pair now from shaolin8 on eBay.

From LeBron James’ ‘decision’ to Chris Paul’s neverending trade saga, there’s been plenty of talk about the point position in the NBA this year. And while there’s no discounting those players greatness (not to mention Deron Williams, Derrick Rose and a handful of other elite PGs), you’d be hard pressed to find a more pure season at the 1 than what we’ve seen so far from Rajon Rondo. The Boston Celtics’ point guard is dishing out dimes at an alarming rate, all while rocking the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse PE. These joints are done in Celtic green with Rondo’s number 9 inscribed on the lateral ankles in a style as simple and classic as the Cs’ unis. Check out more shots by clicking on the jump below and grab a pair today from ID4Shoes on eBay.

A similar look on your tops or pants might appear a bit over the top, but Nike Sportswear once again shows they can take even the craziest looks and make em into solid kicks. For the ladies who wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a see-thru shirt, here’s your chance to incorporate some partially transparent mesh into your wardrobe, a new Nike WMNS Blazer High. These joints are done entirely in black and Solar Red, with the former crafted in a thin enough mesh that stripes of the latter peek through all over the uppers. Tap into your wild side with a look that’s subtly see-through when you grab a pair of the latest WMNS Blazer High from Eastbay.
