The timing’s a bit off, but hey, never too late for a sneaker release. House of Hoops just got in this Nike Zoom KD III Player Exclusive for the Texas Longhorns; it features a White and Desert Orange colorway with patent leather accent on the uppers with the Texas Longhorns logo stamped on the medial side-wall of the shoe. Texas’ heart-breaking loss to the Arizona Wildcats might be tough to swallow, but these should be a must-have for any Texas Longhorns and Kevin Durant fan. Check out the detailed images below and check your local House of Hoops location for stock. via samcolt.

Nike Sportswear has kept its releases to fewer than the 24/7 hybrid of late, but here’s a new Nike Air Max 95s that’s among the best designs from this classic runner in quite a while. These joints have a gradient of blue shades along their ‘muscle fibers’ that achieves an exclamation point with white on the top tier and tongue, a detail that manages to help an otherwise dark blue design work quite well as a warm weather shoe. And if you wanted to crank the temperature up a notch further, yellow or orange replacement laces would be quite the nice finishing touch to set yours apart from the crowd. Click through to see more of this beauty of an AM95 and grab yours from Britain’s JD Sports.

Sneaker News already showed you two colorways of the upcoming Air Jordan Phase 23 Hoops, but let’s take a look at the overall structure of this peculiar Air Jordan shoe. It’s got a forefoot strap, something relatively new to an Air Jordan basketball shoe, and the decorative upper lace harness that should remind you of the funky designs on the Air Jordan VIII. It’s also got a high toe-box like the Nike Air Force 1, and abstract perforations and patent leather on the upper for an added touch of artistry. This new White/Varsity Red-Black colorway brings a classic Bulls aura and Air Jordan shoe always needs. Check out the detailed images below and let us know what you think of the Phase 23 Hoops design. via classicshoe.

In just a few short years, Native Shoes have managed to carve out a distinct niche in the lifestyle market, their Crocs-like injected, shotgun perf designs giving way to something more rugged when the weather turns. And that’s where the soon-to-release Hypebeast x Native Fitzsimmons comes in, a dope mix of chocolate brown and bright red that stays true to the brand’s signature molded-EVA construction while offering premium comfort. A mere 100 pairs of the Hypebeast collaboration have been created, and the only place you can get a pair is by arriving promptly at the HB homepage this Thursday, March 24th at 1pm EST. Click through to see more and let us know what you think of the latest blogosphere-born tag-team effort.

Lot’s of changes were on deck for the Nike SB Dunk in 2011; in addition to the return of the fat tongue, the construction of the shoe was altered to be more skate-ready and durable. For the Mid, the most stand-out change is clearly to removal of the strap, but this Holiday 2011 Preview of the Nike SB Dunk Mid shows that maybe the strap isn’t entirely gone. Arriving in the final quarter of 2011 are these three new colorways – one in a rustic brown/green/orange/tan, a second in a classic black/grey, and a third that resembles the Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low sans the elephant print. Again, these preliminary catalog shots show a strap on the black/grey colorway, but we’ll bring you more solid info as it develops over the the next few months. Check out all three below and let us know which colorway you like best. via N-SB.

Prior to the inception of Nike Lunar, runners were limited to earthbound ideas – Air and Zoom. With Lunar, the level of comfort and design ideas are truly out of this world, as Nike opens up a brand new chapter of arguably the most historic performance running legacy in the annals of footwear. With the Lunar Flow, Nike takes a look back at an idea that was truly ahead of its time; the Air Flow, originally from 1988-1989, was a super light-weight runner that provided ample ventilation without compromising the structure of the shoe. Now the Lunar Flow (thanks to the LunarLon cushioned midsole), Nike has capitalized on these marquee ideas, allowing for on the lightest and most comfortable running shoes ever created (Nike has a tendency to outdo itself from time to time). Sneaker News gave you an exclusive look at the Lunar Flow months ago, and now’s your chance to own a pair; the Black/Pink colorway has already hit stores and the White/Green/Blue is soon to follow, so take another look below and let us know what you think. via HB.

The level of debate stirred by the Air Jordan II Max deems it one of the most controversial sneaker stories of the first quarter of 2011. This amalgam of ‘old’ and ‘new’ has coerced unique responses from Jordanheads, either in disbelief or in defense of this ‘hybrid’ shoe. The truth is, the Air Jordan Retro can only be stretched so far, and so new ideas of reinvention can only be expected from the brand that has set the bar so high for the last 2.5 decades. Visible 360-Max Air has never been done on a Jordan Brand shoe until last year, when the Jordan Take Flight was introduced; the finely tuned Air Max unit made specifically for basketball seemed to be the perfect add-on to the Air Jordan, which undoubtedly has crossed over to the lifestyle/fashion genre and has firmly established a nook. It’s supreme styling and the utmost in comfort – and somewhere in between is a bit of compromise between purists and the open-minded. We’ve got new images of the Air Jordan II Max after the jump, so take another look below and maybe you’ll see something you haven’t noticed before. via RMK.
Style: 455616-100

It might not be as perplexing as the choice to name a particular shade of teal ‘Retro’ but there’s definitely some opportunity for confusion about the Nike Air Max Lunar. With the LunarMax+ out there, you might wonder what sets these two models apart and the key is that the Air Max Lunar is more of a lifestyle-oriented hybrid when compared to the other’s performance leanings. This division seems to have worked out quite nicely, with these four new AM Lunar colorways occupying distinct quadrants of the visible spectrum. There’s a pair with vague ‘Medicine Ball’ aspirations, another with that ‘South Beach’ look that’s become so popular of late, another pastel combo perfect for the spring and finally a pair that’s something like the LA Lakers gone radioactive. Click through to see all four in detail and grab yours today from NikeStore.

Sneaker News showed you five different pairs of Nike Dunks with ostrich skin Swooshes in a combination of high and lowtops earlier this month. One of those was a black/white hightop, which means this new Dunk Low proves Nike Sportswear won’t be burying this theme in the sand anytime soon. These joints are done in the rich Gridiron shade that offers both purple and greyish tints to the simple white/black look, and given that our first glimpse is upon retail availability, we can’t wait to see if more new colorways might be on tap. Click through to get a better look at the ostrich Gridiron Dunk Lows and grab yours today from Titolo.

Much of the ‘focus’ surrounding the Nike Air Max 360 BB Low in recent weeks has centered around the upcoming pack with that name, but what about some of the more traditional basketball palettes? Check out this new run of AM360 BB Lows, each of which offers a fresh take on a familiar colorway thanks to this model’s impressive list of tech specs. The Flywire-infused, Torch-ventilated, Max Air-cushioned lowtops just hit NikeStore in five new colorways including the Cool Grey/black joints we showed you a short while ago, two pairs you might expect to see at Duke Blue Devils or Chicago Bulls home games, a sunny take on Cool Grey featuring the bright Lightbulb shade of yellow and another in the quintessential summer combo of white and Metallic Silver. The first two of this list are available in a full size run and the ones marked ‘out of stock’ should be available shortly, so click through to see more and let us know which one(s) you plan to grab.
