Sneaker News recently reported a minor modification in the constructive tooling of the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski. Before that slight alteration goes live, here’s a look at a few more Janoski releases – like this sweet tonal red-upper colorway that is set for a February 2011 release. We last previewed this colorway in June of last year; It features a luxurious red suede upper with white contrast stitching on the toe, a white vulcanized midsole, and a university blue stripe for an extra touch of color. You can expect these to hit SB accounts in just over a week so take a look below and let us know what you think. via air walker.

Rarely if ever do modern sneakers benefit from polishing but you better have a supply on hand if you plan to grab this latest look from Nike Sportswear. The Nike Air Royal Mid VT applies an oiled Baroque Brown leather to the Vac-Tech molded upper, which means these look as close to a fine dress shoe as you’re gonna get with a Swoosh, but proceed with caution. This is the kind of premium leather that could relatively easily scar and weather — music to the ears of vintage enthusiasts and a prompt to buy several pairs (and/or cans of Kiwi). Click through to get a better look and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release. via LTD Online

It ain’t no April Fools joke – the Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ is indeed releasing this April. It’s been a long nineteen years since the Bordeaux VII was last released, as it was the first Air Jordan VII colorway worn by Michael Jordan when he rocked them during the ’92 All-Star Game. Sneaker News even featured the Bordeaux last year for one of its Classics Revisited features, and we even had the original box that featured the ‘Oreo’ print. With the Air Jordan III White/Cement Grey receiving a special OG-inspired box, should we expect the same for this upcoming Retro release? That certainly would be the cherry on top of the highly anticipated release, wouldn’t it? Here’s another detailed look at the 2011 version of the Air Jordan VII Bordeaux; take a look at the entire gallery and let us know if these are a must have for you. via kickz-lab.

Here’s another look at the upcoming Air Jordan CMFT Viz Air 13; although it is inspired by the Air Jordan XIII (given by the nylon upper and heeltab), you can’t help but attribute this particular colorway to the Air Jordan XI ‘Bred’ due to the black patent leather mudguard and the translucent red outsole. These new images shed light on a few more details of the CMFT 13 that are shared with the AJ13, like the shape of the mudguard and the heel panel. Perhaps the use of a small jewel similar to the panther eye or the ‘JORDAN’ tab found on the base of the lace placket would’ve solidified these as a true Air Jordan XIII-inspired release, but time will tell if any changes will be made. Continue reading for another look at the Air Jordan CMFT Viz Air 13 after the jump and let us know what you think. via modernnotoriety.

Tokyo-based cut-n-sew connoisseurs Bedwin & The Heartbreakers applied their signature style to a model whose heritage echoes their own aesthetic sensibilities. The Bedwin x Converse Jack Purcell ‘Mike’ keeps with the brand’s most recent capsule by being constructed entirely in black and white with red accents, specifically the JP script heel emblem that’s done up to mimic Bedwin’s signature tag. These are one of the simplest Jack Purcell collaborations we’ve seen but the leather is of ‘paramount quality’ and you can see a closeup of this Asia-only release after the jump. via Wise Ark.

A quick proof that the human mind is something of an analog computer is how natural easy on the eyes you’ll find these new Gourmet Dicinove colorways. The traditional deck shoes have always been brown but when you take the navy blue and grey shades that typify the classic naval peacoat, the subconscious fills in the gaps. These look really sharp thanks to premium leather on both the upper and their ridiculous lace entanglements, and you can see more detailed images after the jump. via Dunk

They’ve more hinted at it with the Jeremy Scott capsule but adidas Originals proves with this latest release they’d be fine with going back to a super-high contrast default. Looking like something you’d expect from 2007′s time capsule, the adidas Nizza Hi XL does J.Scott one better with massive branding and a colorway that shrinks the sample rate by four-fifths. Are we ready for a mid-’00s retro already? The Air Jordan XIII ‘Altitude’ proved the answer to be yes last year, so have a closer look at these new Nizzas and stick with Sneaker News to see how footwear trends develop in real time. via Dunk

Did you get the memo? Not about the cover sheets for your TPS reports, but that Mehmet Okur is back in action? The sharp-shooting Turkish big-man has been one key to Utah’s post-Malone/Stockton success, particularly when he signed with Utah after playing an integral off-the-bench role for the 2004 NBA Champion Detroit Pistons. Here’s a look at the PE colorway of the Nike Shox BB Pro made just for Okur; it features a black upper with a forest green center panel and a royal blue Shox cushioning unit. The Shox BB Pro has seen some increased action lately – could this mark the return of Nike Shox Basketball? Check out the detailed shots below and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike Basketball updates and news.
