Back in January, Sneaker News showed you an upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low Pro release featuring a Burgundy/Gold colorway, constructed of a distressed/pebbled leather on the upper. Here’s a nice follow-up to that release – an SB Dunk Low in ‘Nightshade’, featuring a gold swoosh border and an upper construction similar to that Burgundy/Gold pair. The unique texture can also be found on a recent Nike SB Dunk High we showed you, which featured the pebbled leather on the upper toe-box, center panel, and heel. These are slated for a Holiday 2011 release as part of the Nike SB ‘Below the Line’ series (in-store only), so take another look below and let us know what you think of the colorway. via N-SB.

Earlier this month, Jordan Brand unveiled three new colorways of the Air Jordan 2011 that were scheduled for an April 30th release. Black/Neo Lime, Tech Grey/Orion Blue, and Wolf Grey/Varsity Red were expected to be added to the already impressive Air Jordan 2011 line-up, but with already three different releases of the Air Jordan 2011 this month (the Blackout as well as the two new Jordan Brand Classic PE colorways), the release of this trio of colorways has been delayed to late May. If you were unsure about obtaining a pair, you now have some more time to reconsider your decision. Which of the three is your favorite? Let us know after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Jordan Brand release information and updates.

The Nike Air Max 90 released in several ‘ACG Pack’ colorways around the turn of the year, and if this pair had speckled laces it’d fit right in. The Air Max 90 for women pictured above is almost like combining the black and Velvet Brown ACG AM90s, their Peach Dream and Gridiron design saved from Jack-o-lantern land by carefully placed grey sections. But they still have a bit of that Day of the Dead feel thanks to Club Purple laces that finish off this bold high contrast look for summer. Click through to see more shots and expect these at US Nike Sportswear retailers in the next month or so. via OkBuy.

Nike was co-founded by University of Oregon alum Phil Knight, gained notoriety in the early 1970s when the Bill Bowerman-coached Steve Prefontaine donned the Swoosh and gives the Ducks a ton of cutting-edge kicks and gear, so it’s only right to see classic flagship runners done in UO colors. Check out this new Nike Air Pegasus ’89, a departure from the subdued colorways we’ve seen on this model of late. They offer a similarly simple palette but by using vivid green and yellow shades, these still manage to be quite attention-grabbing. Click through to get a better look at this latest Air Pegasus 89 and if you want a pair, ironically enough, they’re only available from Britain’s JD Sports.

A night before the NFL Draft, ESPN The Magazine held its eighth annual Pre-Draft Party at Espace in New York City. Among the notable celebrities and athletes in attendance was star New York Jets cornerback, Darrelle Revis who hit the scene in a crispy pair of the upcoming Air Jordan III True Blues. Seen below with ESPN’s Steven A. Smith, Revis Island is no stranger to rocking Air Jordan heat as we’ve seen in the past, and he’s not the only one in his crew that’s been breaking necks with his kicks. Darrelle’s manager and longtime best friend, John Geiger, was spotted courtside with Revis at the Knicks game back in March in a pair of the Net Air Yeezy’s and was just seen in an early pair of the eagerly anticipated Wolf Grey Air Jordan V’s during a recent photo shoot. Check out some pics after the jump, and next time you see Darrelle and John out and about, you might wanna take notice of their footwear.

The HUF Hupper hightop turned out to be the only high profile sneaker released last Wednesday, but that won’t be the only all-over printed release thanks to these new drops. Sneaker News first showed you images of the HUF Monogram Pack last October before anyone even knew the lowtop model’s name. But by this point the Southern has become a staple release for the California-based brand and their red suede/canvas build is shared by a black Hupper, both covered in white Hs. Click through to see more images of both models and check for them at select high end skate shops like Primitive.

Last season, Gilbert Arenas made all the improper headlines in the NBA newswire and on Sneaker News. After a locker-room incident that led to a suspension for the remainder of the year, adidas Basketball terminated his contract, leaving the man free to roam about with whatever sneakers he wanted to wear. It wouldn’t be until the following season that we’d see Gilbert Arenas back on an NBA court, and his return was a relentless outpouring of sneakers from his personal collection that caught the attention of sneakerheads nationwide. Sneaker News began documenting his nightly wears, which included a grab-bag of Air Jordans and Nike Basketball Retros, as well as shoes that had no purpose on an NBA court, like the D&G high-tops and Jordan CMFT hybrids. Now that Gilbert and the Orlando Magic are done for the season, Sneaker News has compiled Gilbert’s Greatest Hits of the 2010-11 NBA Season, so take a look below and make sure you vote for your favorite at the very end!

Mackintosh is a British brand reknown for its world class outerwear and since the April showers are soon coming to an end, the release of their collaboration with Converse is perfectly timed. The Mackintosh x Converse Jack Purcell ‘Johnny’ hit UK retailers last week and was supposed to hit select First String accounts on May 1st here in the US. But it’s never a bad thing to get your kicks fix early and it looks like one of this nation’s retailers will have theirs available a day early. Kicks/HI will release the Mackintosh Jack Purcells on Saturday, April 30th and you can see more images of this trio of subdued colorways when you click on the jump below.

With so much intrigue surrounding Nike SB and special themed and/or collaborative releases, it’s nice to cut through all the extras every once in a while and go straight to the heart of the game. The Nike Dunk Low CL is one of Nike Sportswear’s most fundamental offerings and these perfectly executed new colorways will ensure that even a general release like this can push toward sellout numbers. Both pairs go for the tonal mix of leather and woven textile that we’ve seen on several Air Force 1s recently, a black pair opting for Bright Mandarin on its outsole while the white pair goes with Brown Kelp. Toss in a little gingham check on the sockliner and these are perfect for keeping your everyday shoe game on point this summer, and they should be available at US NSW accounts soon. via Kix-Files

When LeBron James made the switch from Cleveland to Miami, it affected his life outside the basketball court – namely his relationship with Nike Basketball. The L23 logo that was prevalent on all his Nike signature shoes and apparel was gone due to the switch to the number ’6′ on his jersey, which in turn meant a new one was on the way. Sneaker News gave you a sneak peek at the new Nike LeBron logo last November, which featured his initials shaped into a crown, playing off his ‘King James’ persona; the new logo is expected to appear on the Nike LeBron 9 as well as Nike LeBron apparel, like this ‘WITNESS’ t-shirt that glows in the dark. Similar t-shirts were given out to the Miami Heat home crowd during the Home games of the First Round Playoff series, so now you can join in as if you were in South Beach by picking up this new Nike LeBron t-shirt from Nikestore.
