Back in 2006, Nike fashioned a sample colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro in this two-toned brown colorway. This version was never released, but a similar colorway was made in Air Total Foamposite Max form (Tim Duncan’s former shoe with Nike). Some notable details regarding this sample is the use of brown, which has never been done on an Air Foamposite shoe, and the substitution of carbon fiber with TPU on the shank plate at the midfoot (also seen in the Carolina Blue/White colorway). The last time we showed you this sample was when it was spotted at a sneaker showcase event in Chicago, but this time they resurface with an opportunity for purchase. Check out the extra images of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro in the unreleased Chocolate/Mocha colorway and test your bidding skills by checking out this auction from trueloyaltyinc on eBay.

Yesterday Sneaker News filled you in a little regarding the release date of the Air Jordan III ‘Stealth’, which is slated for the September 2011 release. Much debate has been circling around this upcoming colorway, and the overall reception has been positive despite the similarities to the Air Jordan III ‘Cool Grey’ that dropped back in 2007. The fact is that any Air Jordan III will be a huge success, and given the black/red accents paired with the slick Stealth/Light Graphite combination of grey, we suspect another big hit for these Jordans. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a few months for these to hit retail, but avoid the lines altogether by grabbing one of the few available pairs from air-randy on eBay.

Manny Pacquiao has been the gleaming face of boxing over the last half decade thanks to his relentless discipline in the sport and dedication to excellence. He has certainly displayed those notions throughout his career, winning in eight different weight divisions and boasting 52 professional victories. The Manny Pacquiao Summer 2011 Footwear and Apparel Collection celebrates PacMan’s illustrious career and storied background as he prepares for his May 7th bout, and the resounding theme throughout the entire capsule is his Filipino heritage, seen in the color combinations akin to the Filipino flag. Included in the set is the Nike Zoom Huarache TR Low and the Nike Trainer 1.3, two of Nike’s leading performance training footwear designs, and Manny Pacquiao’s Ring Boot that exemplifies PacMan’s blinding speed and quickness. The apparel, which includes various t-shirts and training gear, illustrate Manny’s heritage and fight mentality. Continue reading for a detailed look at the Manny Pacquiao Summer 2011 Collection and watch for this great capsule to release at Nike retailers soon.

Available at retailers now is the Nike Air Max CB34 in the all-new Wolf Grey/Varsity Red-White colorway. Charles Barkley is always one to criticize and ridicule things as ‘turrible’ without giving it thought, but even the round mound of rebound can’t deny how sweet this new colorway is. The Nike Barkley signature line does one of the best jobs in inducing nostalgic hunger-pangs, and this classic silhouette paired with a new colorway should appeal to the younger sneakerheads who never got to see Sir Charles rule the court. Sneaker News reported the availability of the Wolf Grey CB34 late last month, so if you haven’t picked them up already, check your local Nike retailer like Extra Butter for your pair, or snag one for a little less on eBay.

Supporters and detractors alike have been awaiting the arrival of the Nike Air Yeezy 2, and after a quick glimpse during a cameo appearance in Kobe Bryant’s Black Mamba movie and a better viewing during his performance at Coachella this past weekend, Kanye West has finally let the cat out of the bag for good as he was spotted in London wearing the Nike Air Yeezy 2. Here’s what’s been carried over from the original Air Yeezy; a black colorway, a light mint green translucent outsole, and a forefoot strap. Here’s what’s new; a different outsole, adopted from the Nike Air Tech Challenge II, lux leather materials – possibly a faux animal-skin (remember Nike is animal friendly now), a slimmer construction, golden accents on the upper, and a unique pattern on the tongue that could very well be the lightweight Torch material. Continue reading for a look at Kanye West wearing the Nike Air Yeezy 2 and stick with Sneaker News for all Nike Air Yeezy 2 updates. via imnotobsessed.

April 20th has stirred up plenty of controversy both in the national newswire and in the world of sneakers.

Take a look at the detailed gallery below and let us know if you think these are better than the Cheech & Chong SB Dunk High.

The Texas 8 isn’t a band of rebel outlaws, but the amount of heat they’re carrying is certainly a crime. The Texas 8, also known as The Heatseekers Krew, traveled from Texas to New York City for a 21 Mercer takeover, a two-day Bespoke event in which each of the eight members customized and personalized his/her own Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke. The Texas 8 isn’t your run of the mill group of sneakerheads; it includes members of all ages and interestingly enough, a father-daughter combo, and each of their Bespoke ideologies carry a unique backstory. It wasn’t until the Sneaks Up event this past weekend in San Antonio that the Texas 8 was finally given their Bespoke creations, and they consequently placed them on display at the event, winning the award for Best Sneaker Display. Continue reading for a photo recap of the Texas 9 Bespoke Story and let us know what you think.

The Nike Air Approach Mid 2.4 is set for a release later this week at select Nike Sportswear retailers, so here’s another look at this retro-inspired boot, part of the Athletics Far East collection. Both colorways feature suede uppers with rugged canvas toe-boxes with a woodsy plaid graphic pattern on the upper. The design of the Air Approach is like a mish-mash of previous Nike ACG classics like the Air Magma and Air Lava, but they are all one in the same as the Air Approach Mid 2.4 looks to carry on the ACG heritage of rugged, outdoor-ready yet stylish shoes. Continue reading for a detailed look and stay tuned for a release this April 23rd. via HS.
