Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid QS   Release Delayed

We most recently saw the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid pop up in a black waterproof getup, but that doesn’t mean the model’s totally protected from the elements.  The winds of change have swept through on this white Stefan Janoski Mid, a Quickstrike release that was apparently slated to hit retailers this month as an in-store only release (aka ‘Below the Line’).  But as we saw with the ‘Cheech & Chong’ Dunk High SB, white Swoosh Skateboarding kicks are prone to delay this month, so be sure to stick with Sneaker News for updates on the new white/black Janoski Mid release date.  via N-SB

PHANTACi x New Balance MT580GH   White   Neon Green | Teaser

Earlier this year Sneaker News gave you a teaser preview of the PHANTACi x New Balance MT580 ‘Green Hornet’ that featured a black/neon green/pink upper with a honey-comb detailed upper and sweet lace dubraes associated with the redone classic film. Here we have a teaser look at yet another version of the MT580 ‘Green Hornet’, but this time the shoe features a white-based upper, black laces, and neon green New Balance insignia. The previous version was never released to the public and was instead a friends-and-family edition, so here’s to hoping for a different release for these because we would all love to get our hands on this sweet collaborative project! Another teaser shots awaits you below so take a peek and let us know what you think.

The LeBrons   Episode 4: Coach

“True success takes more than talent. It takes dedication and hard work.”

Well said, LeBron. In the latest episode of LeBron James’ animated series ‘The LeBrons’, Kid and his boys prepare for the school basketball team try-outs while staying away from distraction from his in-school rivals as well as the legacy of Athlete. Will Kid make the team? At first, he avoids the try-outs, claiming to earn his b-ball rep on the streets, but soon comes to realize that he needs to work for his glory. Does Kid make the team? Before he does, he needs to get through a scrimmage against his rival Jamal. Check out Episode 4 below and let us know what you think!

The Jordan Brand Classic PEs have come and gone but if you were feelin’ the Orion Blue pair, is it possible this Air Jordan 2011 is even better?  In fact, could there have been a better AJ2011 colorway for summer?!  These joints manage to bridge the gap between the hottest colors of today with the UNC Tar Heels look that’s been so popular on summertime Jays in years gone by.  Their grey upper looks amazing with Orion and Chlorine Blues forming the tongue, mudguard and translucent outsole for one of the nicest lightly-colored Air Jordan Legacy models in years.  Click through to get a better look and expect these along with the grey/red and black/Electric Green editions this Saturday, April 30th.  via Taobao

Nike Air Max JR   White   Chlorine Blue | Available

According to Nike, if you’re a ‘Cool Kid’, you get ‘Fresh Air’. Nothing ‘fresher’ than Chlorine Blue on a clean white base on one of the sickest hybrid sneakers we’ve ever seen – the Nike Air Max JR. The Air Max JR takes the Air Griffey Max 1 base and makes some interesting alterations – namely the removal of the ankle strap, the implementation of Nike Torch on the upper for a lighter, more breathable package, and the use of 360-degree Max Air cushioning. Not only is it a sweet looking shoe, they’re likely to be insanely comfortable! Eastbay just got these in stock so take another look below and don’t miss out on this new colorway.

Nike WMNS Air Structure Triax 91   Cool Grey   Ink   Tech Grey

The classic Nike Air Structure Triax ’91 was given an extension in height with the Nike Air Hoop Structure back in 2009, but it’s time for the original form to come at us once again. Structure Triax ’91 releases aren’t as frequent as we’d like them to be, but here’s a look at a colorway that may or may not release in the near future. This women’s selection features a mix of Cool Grey, Ink, and Tech Grey, with splashes of a cool aquamarine blue tone on the lace eyelets, AIR STRUCTURE stitching on the tongue, and visible Air unit. Originally slated for a Spring 2011 release – a season that has since passed us, these are either postponed for a later date this year, or gone fishing with the other scrapped samples. Check out the additional images below and let us know what you think of this new colorway. via pyrophilly.

Air Jordan V Retro 2011   Black   Metallic Silver

There are three brand new colorways of Air Jordan Vs set to hit retailers in the coming months, but don’t sleep on this classic OG look that’ll also be out soon.  The black and Metallic Silver AJ5 Retro will release as a part of Jordan Brand’s fall 2011 footwear collection, an unbeatable back to school option that’s every bit as clean as it was when it debuted twenty-one years ago.  It’s a foundational element of the Air Jordan Legacy that’s sure to sell out on arrival as Jordanheads look to capture the pristine retro flavor, so if you’re the type who likes to get yours early, check out the few sizes currently available from SneakerHotline.

Nike Toki Mid Premium   Pecan   Summit White | Available

Where does the Nike Toki stand in Nike footwear history? Besides being one of the best lifestyle shoes to ever have a swoosh, the Toki will be remembered for being the shoes on LeBron James’ feet when he made ‘The Decision’. Infamous attribution or not, the Toki Mid is one of best ever if you’re looking for the grown up look, and this new release featuring a buttery leather in pecan brown and a summit white midsole only adds to the Toki legend. The soft leather upper is paired with a perforated swoosh for that minimalistic and style-conscious appeal, and the rustic brown laces add a nice touch of class. You can find these now at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Extra Butter or on eBay.

Vans Era Wingtip   Black   White + Black Suede

Vans’ immortal skate classics have become one of the sneaker defaults for laid-back style; could they one day be held in the same regard as traditional dress shoes?  It’s possible, but far more likely is the case we see pictured above where the Vans Era Wingtip brings in elements from the timeless full brogue including the distinctive perforated embellishments and W-shaped toe.  This is a case of Off the Wall bringing grown-up style into the casual/skate scene and you can get in on the cross-pollination by grabbing a pair today from Flatspot.
