Air Jordan Fly Wade   Grey   Neon   Black   White

No, this isn’t a case of mistaken identity. It’s an all-new colorway of the Air Jordan Fly Wade in a Dunkman-esque Grey, Neon Green, Black, and White colorway. Featuring prominent Neon Green accents on the translucent outsole, laces, inner lining, and Dwyane Wade’s ’3′ logo on the tongue, this new Air Jordan Fly Wade certainly jumps out at you with its two-toned grey upper and black upper panel. But isn’t this LeBron James’ Dunkman colorway? Perhaps Wade and LeBron have plans on debuting their new colorways on the same night. Take a look at the detailed gallery below and let us know which Air Jordan Fly Wade colorway you like best thus far. via Marqueesole.

Nike Air Max LeBron Soldier V   Green   White   Grey

Sneaker News recently showed you some more upcoming colorways of the Nike LeBron Soldier V, so here’s a closer look at the upcoming Green/White/Grey colorway. Again, the most unique feature of the design is the ankle strap that extends from the lace plckaet as well as the perforated design of the strap. The upper features a full-Flywire shell with a synthetic leather skirt, and the outsole is supreme combination of the Max Air and Zoom – the same chassis used on the Zoom Soldier IV. This team-based colorway features a white/grey combination, with the primary color being used on the visiable Air on the heel. Take an extra look below and stick with Sneaker News for more information on the Soldier V. via hoopchina.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI   Del Sol   Lightbulb   Black   Tour Yellow

Releasing this April 2011 is the Nike Zoom Kobe VI in Del Sol, Lightbulb, Black, and Yellow; this Lakers-specific colorway is presumed to be Kobe Bryant’s ‘Home’ Playoff shoe, as it features a prominent use of Laker yellow on the upper. Matched with the black swoosh, tongue, heel, and midsole, these look a hint of red short of being nicknamed this year’s Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘Bruce Lee’. Last year’s version featured red slash marks on the upper of the shoe, referring to Bruce Lee’s ‘Game of Death’ film, but this version seems to lack any specific calling to any of Lee’s movies. We’ve got a new detailed gallery for you below, so take look below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more Zoom Kobe VI updates. via Marqueesole.

Nike Lunar Woven Chukka   White + Grey

Nike Sportswear dropped a couple of kaleidoscopic pairs of these that took the world by storm last summer, but this year the Nike Lunar Woven Chukka is going back to basics.  Gone is the multicolored textile upper, these new pairs crafted in a satiny diagonal weave whose tonal appearance is given a little extra oomph as framed by leather on the eyelets, heel and ‘foxing’.  In addition to the white joints we showed you on Friday, there’s a grey edition sharing that same white LunarLon sole so as to not miss out on the dominant non-color of the past several months, and you can see both when you click on the jump below.  Let us know which one you prefer and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for updates on the Stateside release date.  via Dunk

Dave White x Air Jordan 1   Available on eBay

One of the biggest Jordan stories of 2011 came in mid-February, when we learned of a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between two of the most iconic figureheads of the sneaker game. In celebration of the Jordan Brand WINGS for the Future Program, Jordan Brand teamed up with world-renown artist Dave White to re-create the original Air Jordan 1 silhouette in a patriotic mosaic of colors and graphics. The finished product resonated inspiration while highlighting Dave White’s signature style of artistry, with a gold-tipped toe, signature paint splatter marks, red brush-stroke stripes on the heel, and stars dotted on the upper. Each of twenty-three pairs were auctioned off to sneakerheads, with all proceeds going to the WINGS for the Future Program, but if you missed out on owning this collectible, your chance has now risen again. The Dave White x Air Jordan 1 is truly one of the best collaborations we’ve seen in a long time, so take a look at this new detailed gallery of images below and get your pair now from poofyo101jumpmansneakers on eBay.

Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament   Sweet 16 Winners Announced

Unlike this year’s NCAA Tournament that will see either Butler or VCU play for a national title, the Sneaker News March Madness OG Air Jordan Tournament hasn’t seen anything even close to a Cinderella run. In fact, through thte first two rounds, there has only been one upset! The Sweet 16 round saw some pretty juicy matchups, but somehow every favorite advanced to the Elite Eight Round despite some very narrow victories by the White/Cement Air Jordan III and Bred Air Jordan IV over the Carmine VI and Columbia XI respectively. We’ll have to wait to see if the underdogs can make some noise in the Elite Eight as there will be some pretty tight competition across the board.  Check out the Sweet 16 results below and head over the Sneaker News HD for a better look at the updated brackets. Voting for the Elite Eight round will begin tonight so stay tuned for more SN March Madness action coming soon.

NITRAID x Nike5 Gato Street Premium

The Nike5 Gato Street, slated for a worldwide release this April, was designed with the small-sided footballer in mind. It’s for the pick-up game after the work, the quick match in-between classes, or the neighborhood game in the alley-way. The Nike5 Gato Street is football-ready with street-style in mind, and it’s presenting a strong case at being included as one of Sneaker News’ Top 30 of 2011. This new colorway is in collaboration with Nitraid (can’t get more ‘street’ than that), featuring a two-toned upper in a suede construction. A special graphic on the inner lining, resembling Nitraid’s signature camouflage pattern, is used for an added visual pop. Expect these at select retailers this May, so take another look below and let us know what you think. via hidden-champion.

Nike Air Max 1   Brown Kelp   Red   White

Sneaker News recently gave you a look at the latest Air Max 1 iD options and the standout samples were those that featured tonal-upper colorways. Following that with Friday’s Air Max 1 ‘Honeycomb’ in canvas, it looks like the Air Max 1 is refreshed and ready to go for the Summer 2011 season.

We can expect a few more colorways in this style (canvas/suede uppers, simple colorways), so check out the extra shots below for another look and pre-order one now at end.
