In 2010, Sneaker News placed a particular emphasis on the up-and-coming 6.0 Branch of Nike footwear. With its great releases of the Dunk, Melee, and the all-new Brazen, Nike 6.0 has surpassed its original purpose of providing action-sports athletic outfitting drew some welcome attention from the hard-to-please sneakerhead circles. If you’re still lagging behind on the 6.0 tip, here’s something to get you going – the Nike 6.0 Dunk Low ‘Brogue’. The colorway is similar to the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Patagonia’ of 2009 with a unique toe-box design that should remind you of the SB Dunk Low ‘Golf’ series of 2006. It features a royal blue leather/suede upper with a white swoosh and outsole and an orange inner lining. Check out the extra shot below and stick with Sneaker News for more updates regarding this hot Nike 6.0 releases. via Colmilludo.

Los Angeles is what’s happening, especially when it comes to new Nike Zoom Kobe VI colorways.  The Orange County joints are simply beautiful and the Glass Blue pair is sick in its own right, but we can’t forget about this Dodger-flavored ZK6 with its view of the LA sky.  And it’s particularly interesting that these are the Zoom Kobe 6 ‘All Star’, considering that the Western Conference has worn red (East wears blue) since the NBA switched back from a late-’90s MLB-style look.  Frankly, whether Kobe wears em at the ASG doesn’t matter cos these are one of the more satisfying colorways we’ve seen and you can get more shots after the jump and grab a pair early from Kicks-Crew.

Sure, you could always just buy a pair of white Keds and go to town, but as far as sanctioned releases go, we haven’t seen many color-your-own-with-markers drops since the adidas adiColor releases a few years back.  That changes with this new atmos x Reebok Insta Pump Fury that celebrates ten years in biz for Tokyo’s finest.  As you might expect from the lead-in, these joints are all white save select branding accents, and ship with a black marker you can use to customize the leather uppers.  But you better not make a mistake, cos not only are they only available at atmos starting this Saturday, but there are a mere 100 pairs set to release.

Michael Jordan introduced the Air Jordan VII to the world on February 9th, 1992; it was the NBA All-Star Game of the 1991-92 NBA Season, and Jordan was making his eight appearance in an All-Star Game. Despite leading the East squad in scoring and tying in assists, Jordan, the Game, and the Shoes were overshadowed by the return of Magic Johnson, who made his first All-Star Game appearance since being diagnosed with HIV. Of course, Johnson deserved the spotlight for his courageous comeback and eventual All-Star Game MVP, but the attention turned back to Michael not long after when he led the Bulls to its second straight NBA title. Nearly two decades after it first made an appearance, the Air Jordan VII Bordeaux will return to store shelves (this April to be exact). Undoubtedly one of most highly-anticipated Retro releases of the last half-decade, the Bordeaux will sell out “fo sheaux”. Check out these new pics of the 2011 Retro version below and if you need them right now, pick up one of the select sizes available from air-randy on eBay.

Sneakerheads were lucky enough to be able to purchase a ’112′ version of the Air Max 1, Air Force 1, Air Trainer 1, and Hyperdunk, but we know all too well that DJ Clark Kent, the man behind the sick colorway/material combo, has a lot more ’112′ed versions of shoes like the Trainer SC 2010 and more recently, the Air Max TR1+. Although that Air Max TR1+ has no plans of releasing, you can purchase your own ‘take-down’ version of Clark’s Air Max TR1+ ’112′; here’s a look at an all-new colorway of the TR1+ in Metallic Silver, Black, and Volt. The obvious omission is the elephant print, but the colorway motif is still there (adopted from the historic Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ colorway. Check out the extra shots below and cop a pair now at Nikestore.

Sneaker News first showed you this new colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI last week, and since the Kobe VI ‘LA Pack’ has become a hot topic of conversation in Nike Basketball circles, a few nicknames for this unique pair has been thrown out there. The obvious one is ‘Sunset‘, given by the graphic used on the upper as well as the fact that Californian sunsets off the beach are one of nature’s greatest wonders, but another one is ‘Orange County’, as the shoes included in the LA Pack carry some sort of territorial designation. There’s an obvious beach theme going on, with a starfish graphic on the insole and the crystal blue color-blocking on the swoosh, heel-cap, and translucent outsole. Regardless of the nickname given to this colorway, the Kobe VI ‘Sunset/Orange County’ is going to be a hot commodity (as is the rest of the LA Pack). Check out the extra images after the jump and hit SneakerHotline if you need a pair because they’ve got a few select sizes available now.

Next up in the luxurious Jordan Brand Bin 23 Collection is the Air Jordan V, a sneaker that debuted in 1990 and was inspired by a World War II mustang fighter plane. Despite taking inspiration from a rugged machine, the Air Jordan V possesses an unmatched level of luxury and prestige, and the upcoming Premio version only accentuates its beauty. Featuring a full leather upper, the Air Jordan V Premio sheds the lightweight translucent netting and applies a perforated leather panel. Leather has never been the primary material for a black pair of Air Jordan V with the exception of an original kids release – and based on the origin of the Bin 23, a leather-uppered black Jordan V could have been in the works when it first released. These new images shed light on the high-end attitude of the Bin 23 collection, given by the smooth leather and gorgeous inner lining, but reminds us of the AJV’s true origin with the speckled ‘sharks teeth’ seen on the midsole. Osneaker has a few available right now for purchase so take another look at the Air Jordan V Premio below and let us know what you think.

You can make its upper out of Foamposite, add metal eyelets like a hiking boot or rubberize the mudguard like a duck, but there’s still no topping a two-toned Nike Air Force 1 Low.  These joints hearken back to the golden age of AF1s, pre-internet hype and before many of the wild patterns, materials and mashups we’ve come to know and love.  You get a rich Obsidian leather base that looks just perfect with white accents including Swoosh, sockliner and midsole.  A no-brainer if ever there was one (though you might want to keep enough juice in your noggin not to pair these with black denim), this Obsidian AF1 Low just hit Titolo.
