One of the faces of Nike Basketball in the mid-late 90′s was none other than Michigan’s Chris Webber, the do-it-all Power Forward who planted his roots in Golden State and Washington and blossomed into a MVP-caliber player out in SacTown. C-Webb was always outfitted in some of the sickest Air Max basketball kicks, like the Air Max Sensation (during his days as a Bullet). The Air Max Sensation 2011 borrows the Sensation-al design and vamps it up with carbon fiber panels, a breathable mesh upper construction, and a full-length basketball-specific Max Air cushion in order to coax out the inner C-Webb from those who choose this shoe for basketball. this new Dark Grey/Black-Retro-White colorway is available now at Nikestore so take another look below and let us know what you think of this revamped 90′s classic.

adidas Originals continues to push us back toward a pre-recession view of the world with their latest release, a reminder of a time when overdyed denim and high-contrast everything were all the rage. The adidas Originals Metro Attitude Logo borrows a massive Trefoil from one of Jeremy Scott’s ObyO M-Attitude variants, and this pair is considerably brighter than the black/white joints we saw, its shiny purple upper serving to accentuate the reptile-like texture on the heel and toe. This has gotta be one of the wildest looking sneakers to release this year and you can grab your pair right now from TGWO.

Last year’s Nike Dunk Canvas Pack featured a number of Dunk High and Low colorways with canvas uppers in tonal upper colorways. For Spring 2011, the Air Max 90 will receive a similar treatment as seen in these three all-new upcoming releases. Coming in three colorways of Black, Medium Grey, and Obsidian, these Air Max 90 Canvas release also feature the rounded lace-eyelets as well as varsity red Max Air units and upper accents. Sneaker News first showed you the black colorway of the Air Max 90 Canvas back in December and we compared them to the black ‘faux-denim’ Air Max 90 from the Air Attack Pack of last year, but it appears that these three releases fall in line with its own unique theme. Expect these to hit Nike Sportswear retailers soon, so take a look below and let us know which colorway you like best.

Italian denim experts Diesel have offered an in-house footwear line for years now, but here’s a look at their first collaboration with a major athletic brand. The Diesel x adidas Originals pack is comprised of a quintet of models that used to be performance leaders and are now the standard for a huge part of the market we’ve come to call ‘lifestyle sneakers’. Each pair is altered to mimic Diesel’s distinctive aesthetic with details ranging from a Forum Mid with zip-up collar to colorful studs that make up the side panel Stripes on two pairs of Stan Smiths. Click through to see the entire collection and look for these at Diesel flagship locations plus their online store.
In addition this Wednesday, January 26th adidas Originals and Diesel will be hosting a launch party at their NYC Lexington flagship. See below for more info.

The traditions embedded into Chinese culture by the Chinese Zodiac have spilled over to the West for many, many years; astrological horoscopes and other lighter forms of belief are somewhat popular in Western culture, and although Americans don’t follow the Chinese Zodiac with orthodox methods, it’s still recognized for its significance and impact. For 2011, the Year of the Rabbit, Nike has created this angelic Air Force 1 design, drawing inspiration from one of China’s most long-lived and recognizable candies and paying tribute to the Chinese Zodiac animal of the year. After a release in Asia, the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Year of the Rabbit’ will arrive at U.S. retailers this January 29th, being available at the most top-tier Nike Sportswear accounts including 21 Mercer and House of Hoops. Check with your local spot if you’re interested and take a look at these new detailed images below from Kenlu, and get a hold of a pre-order now on eBay.

The reaction to a recently revealed Medium Grey denim Nike Dunk High Premum was decidely positive, and while the look isn’t super-obvious, there was indeed a hint that these are part of a larger collection. They have the same French flag heel loop as these new pinstriped Premium Dunks, an element that adds a silver rooster to prove it’s a part of Nike’s newly unveiled French Football Federation collection. Quite ironic to see the French collection feature a Yankees-like look, but it’s satisfying all the same and you can grab yours today from select Nike Sportswear retailers like Proper.

The new 1574 Sonic mashup is based at least partially on its notoriously elegant design, but what about the original New Balance 1500? They’re back and as beautiful as ever with three new colorways for the second half of 2011. As is the case with most of the best 1500s, the red and purple pairs are crafted in rich suede, but that leaves the grey model to try out the rarely seen leather look. If previous releases were any indication, these might be hard to get your hands on here in the states, so click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US drop date. via FNG

You can find these at Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals retailers now so take a look below and cop a pair from the comfort of your computer chair from kicks-r-us on eBay.

Jay Chou, who plays the role of Kato in the 2011 rehashing of Michel Gondry-directed Green Hornet, is also the man behind the PHANTACi apparel shop in Taipei, so a collaboration of sorts in which Chou’s shop would take part in wasn’t much of a surprise. To assist in the celebration of this expected blockbuster film was the New Balance MT580; PHANTACi designed this special Friends-and-Family only promo pair, and it features all of the stinging details of The Green Hornet characters, like the honey-combed finish on the upper, black patent leather, and special Green Hornet mask lace dubrae. A special double-sided hangtag featuring the Green Hornet logo and the PHANTACi emblem as well as a special Green Hornet insole are also featured in this special pair of MT580s. The PHANTACi x New Balance MT580 ‘Green Hornet’ is for eyes only, as just twelve pairs were produced, but you can see a full detailed gallery below. Take a look and let us know what you think of this Green Hornet-inspired design.

Part of the Jordan Brand February 2011 Footwear Collection includes these two all-new Jordan CMFT Viz Air 11 releases. In late 2010, Sole Collector collaborated with Jordan Brand to release a limited-edition run of CMFT 11s featuring Carbon Fiber on the upper, but clearly these February 2011 release are a fine substitution if you missed out on the Sole Collector version. The ‘South Beach’ colorway which Sneaker News gave you a better look at yesterday is also a February 2011 release, but have popped up a week earlier than scheduled. West NYC has both new colorways available right now so continue reading for another look at both new drops and make sure you pick up a pair at West or on eBay.
