The Nike Blazer SP is back with that familiar Nike Sportswear tongue tag motif, and this is very possibly the best colorway yet.  A mix of Anthracite and Electric Green, these joints are a bit softer than your average ‘Dunkman’ or otherwise radioactive look thanks to the supple suede uppers.  This gives the Blazer SP a sort of post-nuclear-apocalypse-organic look, and deserves your click onto the next page to see more shots.  If you like what you see, grab a pair of these grey, black and neon green Blazer SPs today from select NSW accounts including JBSeller on eBay.

We just showed you a practically radioactive pair of Nike WMNS LunarMX+, and here are three new equally ostentatious colorways that just hit retail.  First up is the most ‘conservative’ of the trio, a Tiffany-like palette that could easily be a female runner’s best friend.  Next up is a Red Plum model that stays away from your typical pink-and-shrink by adding a Hot Lime sole and just enough Dark Grey to prevent your eyes from bleeding.  Last but not least is a Blustery blue pair that uses that same lime green sole and grey accents that show how versatile that combo really is.  Check out all three up close after the jump and look for them at top-tier Nike Running spots like FinishLine.

In a fashion cycle where ‘tonal’ and ‘monochromatic’ are the two biggest buzzwords, you gotta be careful about how you apply wild patterns like a leopard print.  But go ask Jeremy Scott if Three Stripes cares about being conventional, and when you come back, we’ll show you this new adidas Womens Snow Leopard Pack.  As its name would suggest, this is a collection of four kicks that each features the black/white spotted pattern quite prominently, albeit with significant results from shoe to shoe.  The most familiar model is the adidas Campus Street Mid, which is likely the most straight-forward of the pack, its upper entirely covered in the aforementioned print.  The Funflyer Low and Mid are split between a similar white colorup and a much darker brown/black look, respectively, while the Julrunner lowtop comes in on the other end of the spectrum with a mostly-black design.  Check out more photos after the jump and look for these at select adidas Originals retailers like Kix-Files.

Nike Sportswear has introduced some of the best lifestyle-oriented kicks of the past few years, but this new model is likely to have most sneakerheads a bit upset.  That’s because the Nike Del Ray midtop is a ladies-only release, and a stellar one at that.  Taking design cues from the classic chukka boot, this pair of WMNS Del Rays goes for a tonal grey construction accented by brass eyelets.  This shoe’s smooth lines and clean colorway make for one of the most aesthetically pleasing releases this season and you can grab a pair right now from shaolin8 on eBay.

The weeks are getting colder and colder, but Sneaker News Weekly Rewind has still been red hot! Kicking off this week is a plethora of Air Jordan news – upcoming kicks, unreleased sample, Player Exclusives, and part II of our Michael Jordan Through The Years feature was all stuffed into the last seven days. Sneaker News also gave you a look at the numbers behind all the sneaker brands currently represented in the NBA, and while the number 1 spot was more than obvious, the remainder of that list provided some interesting factoids. Just by looking at our NBA Feet features, you’ll see the league is dominated by Nike, but other brands do exist and are going strong. The Nike LeBron 8 also made some noise, as we got a look at the Veteran’s Day colorway on his feet, in addition to a number of other special features.

Moving over to the non-basketball side of things was Nike SB and some great news for 2011; Quickstrike releases, new tech info, and a sweet new commercial with Eric Koston were all the headlines from the SB camp. For the runners, Sneaker News gave you an exclusive look at an upcoming colorway of the Air Max 24/7 as well as a preview of a Neon-95 inspired colorway of the Nike Air Stab, a shoe that disappointingly had not made much noise in 2010. Nike ACG did have a nice year thus far, so with the help of Crooked Tongues, Complex.com put together a list of the Top 50 Nike Trail shoes of all time. But the number one sneaker-feature was brought to you by CNBC; the internationally recognized news group delved into the world of sneaker collecting with the help of Sneaker News founder Yu-Ming Wu. If you missed any of these hot topics, check out all the top stories of this week with the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind!

Earlier today Sneaker News showed you the Air Jordan 2010 Team UNC PE that the Tar Heels will debut during their season opener. Here’s a little more heat for ya; check out the UNC Tar Heels Player Exclusive of the Air Jordan XIII in White/University Blue. It features the classic Jordan-alumnus color-combination with the UNC logo stitched on the medial side of the upper with a standalone Jumpman on the tongue. This colorway of the Air Jordan XIII never released but we did get a low-top version in 2005 for women with minor touches of pink, but we’re certain if a Mid version released, it’d be an instant classic. Check out the extra detailed shoes of this rare Player Exclusive Air Jordan and cop this pair from airflare69 on eBay.

The first colorway of the Jordan CMFT Max Air 12 will finally release tomorrow, and it looks like Jordan Brand is looking to ease us in with this first drop. Not exactly metallic silver, but the combination of Medium Grey and Hot Red sparks visions of the OG colorway of the Air Max 97, also known as the ‘Silver Bullet‘. With a medium grey mesh upper, white/grey speckled midsole, a hot red Max Air unit, and a black bottom sole, Jordan Brand is kicking off the new generation of Jordan footwear just right with this great colorway. A few more pairs are on their way this month, but you can grab these tomorrow as these will officially release at select Jordan Brand retailers. Take another look at the Jordan CMFT Max Air 12 after the jump and be sure to pick up a pair from your local JB retailer or from shaolin8 on eBay.

Sometimes you find sneakerheads in places you least expect it. Of course it’s easy to spot one on the NBA court but guys in Major League Baseball are tough to pinpoint. As if the spotlight wasn’t bright enough on the World Champion San Francisco Giants closer, Brian Wilson just outed himself as a sneakerhead by wearing some interesting footwear over the season. He first got our attention when he debuted a bright orange pair of Nike baseball cleats during the MLB All-Star Game and got fined by the league for wearing it during a game against the Florida Marlins. He followed that up with a sweet pair of the Nike Air Max 90, which features the Hufquake graphic on a black/orange colorway with ‘Sandman’ iD’ed on the rear portion of the mudguard. Then came a guest appearance on the Jay Leno show, where Wilson wore the Reebok Pump Court Victory Respect Pack, and finally his march down the heart of San Francisco in a pair of the Radii 420 High Top in a shiny metallic silver. Is Brian Wilson a sneakerhead? At the very least, he’s conscious of the kicks around him. Let’s hope ‘The Machine’ comes out with some sick PE Cleats next season when the Giants begin their title defense. Check out the nice gallery of Brian Wilson’s kicks throughout the year and let us know what sort of beard-related cleat ideas you have! via Yahoo!/NT.

Hybrid Jordans are always a touchy subject and anytime it’s brought up, there’s always a debate. On one side you have the purists and those who care only about Retros, and on the other side you have the sneakerheads who are open-minded and always willing to try what Nike has to offer. Combining Air Max and Air Jordan was sure to be one of the hottest sneaker topics of 2010 but love it or hate it, it’s worth taking a look at. This particular colorway features a black mesh upper with a reptilian print engraved into the mudguard combining the sport and luxury of the Air Jordan and Air Max 97 to create an all-new design. This colorway of the Jordan CMFT Max Air 12 isn’t dropping until this Saturday but you can purchase a pair from 95soleman on eBay.

If you weren’t down with the funky furry upper on the Nike SB Dunk ‘Three Bears’ Pack, these might be the best alternative. The High version, or the ‘Papa Bear‘, featured a similar colorway of navy blue, red, and tan, and now these use the same mix but in a all-suede upper in ‘reverse’ color-blocking. The white midsole and gum bottom sole make these even more desirable to the point where some might say that these are better than the actual Papa Bear version; it’s the grown-up version of possibly the most gimmicky Nike SB Dunk ever made. In fact, there a non-SB Dunk High version that released earlier this year as well that received positive praise. Check out these new detailed images after the jump and watch for these December 2010 releases to hit SB accounts soon because they just became available at Kasina in South Korea.
