Last week, one of the top stories on Sneaker News with the upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium in a Denim and Bronze colorway. If denim isn’t your thing (as voiced by some of our readers), here’s a healthy alternative to that show – the Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 in an Obsidian/White colorway with the favorable gum outsole. The upper combines flat synthetic leather with canvas on the toe-box and center panels, paired astonishingly well with the white/gum midsole/outsole combination. JD Sports just got these in so take a look below for a closer look and let us know if you might prefer these over the Denims!

The Nike Air Talaria doesn’t exactly have the widespread popularity, but like many other Nike classics from the ’90s, it does indeed have a cult following. One of the more recent and memorable Talaria releases was the 2007 Tier Zero-tagged Talaria Boot, which featured a laser graphic on the upper on a Black/Voltage Yellow-Light Lava colorway. It looks like two more similar version are set to release this summer – one in a surprisingly similar Black/Black-Total Orange-Midnight Fog and a second in Golden Harvest/Golden Harvest-Black-Chlorine. The Talaria Boot flawlessly combines the rugged appeal of the Talaria runner with a unique styling seen on very few other Nike models. Check out both colorways below and expect these to hit late summer as an Asia-exclusive release. via atmos

Ready for the hot summer? Here’s a look at the entire Summer 2011 Girls Footwear Showcase from Jordan Brand; three rainbow-inspired releases in the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan 1 Phat Low, and Jordan Flight 45 High have been available this month, but here’s a look at two new Air Jordan 1 High Canvas colorways that are slated for a release soon. Canvas offers a cooler, lighter alternative to leather or suede, so these AJ1 Canvas releases would make splendid selections for the rising heat. Jordan Brand’s focus on the grade-school-sized girl sneakerheads may make you a bit jealous, but not to worry because there will be plenty to go around this Summer. Take a look below and look out for these Jordan Brand Summer 2011 Footwear releases right now!

Just one series remains open, as the Lakers, Mavericks, Thunder, Heat, and Hawks, join the Bulls and Celtics in the second round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs. We got a look at some more great sneakers on court, starting with Gilbert Arenas’ Air Jordan XI ‘Space Jam’ (the second pair of XIs he wore during the series). Other Jordan notables included Gerald Wallace’s Jordan Phase 23 Hoops in Varsity Red, Dwyane Wade’s Air Jordan Fly Wade Home PE, and Chris Paul’s Jordan CP3.IV. We got another look at LaMarcus Aldridge’s Air Max Hyperdunk 2010 PE that was designed by the St. Mary’s Home For Boys as well as Lamar Odom’s Nike Hyperfuse 2011. Round 2 is on its way so check out the last NBA Feet of the first round and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet updates! via Yahoo!.

One version of fragment design’s Nike Sportswear favorite (the Zoom Tennis Classic) dropped back in June of 2008 as part of a ‘Panda Pack’, which features two different white/black based colorways inspired by the cuddly animal associated with Japan. However, the released version did not feature the panda graphic on the heel-tab, but we did show you a different sample version of these, but with a black midsole. While this Panda sample and the released version are almost the same, the playful graphic on the heel-tab just adds another level of fun to these otherwise simple yet supremely designed sneakers. Check out the images of the unreleased version below and pick up this rare sample pair from mental_therapy on eBay.

Sneaker News brought you the Michael Jordan Through The Years feature as a way of placing a spotlight on each and every Air Jordan model, detailing the marquee highlights that magically occured during the lifespan of each particular shoe. There have been a number of memorable moments in Michael’s career that we can associate with one of his signature shoes (some of which we detailed last week), but in this latest installment of Michael Jordan Through The Years, the focus is now placed above his feet and onto the man responsible for orchestrating the greatest basketball dynasty of our generation and an equally ground-breaking signature line of performance basketball shoes. While his peers were quick to raise him up like a god-like being, Michael was always first to humanize himself, speaking of his failures and personal struggles that have consequently played major roles in shaping him into the legend he is today. As an appropriate ending to the Michael Jordan Through The Years feature, take a look at this gallery of images of Michael captured in some rare and special moments throughout his career, both on and off the court. The Sneaker News staff hopes you enjoyed the ride, and we look forward to a future of new Michael Jordan moments still to come through his Jordan Brand sneaker line and post-basketball endeavors.

Pharrell Williams has definitely been stepping up his Jordan game lately as he’s been spotted wearing various colors of the Air Jordan III in the past few months, and just last night he was seen with a pair of the Air Jordan V ’3M’ sneakers on that were a part of the Toro Bravo (Raging Bull) Pack of 2009. Skateboard P got a decent wear out of these two year old Jordans (that darn creasing is inevitable) as he attended both the premiere of the Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival and the Vanity Fair After Party that followed. Get a closer look at Pharrell’s Jordan V’s after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet coverage!

Sneaker News just showed you a glimpse at the nixed LeBron 8 V4 ‘Milan’, and while those beauties unfortunately will never see a retail release, here’s a model we know for sure is coming out that’s just as clean in its own way. The ‘Wolf Grey’ Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low is the most pristine colorway we’ve seen from the entire LeBron 8 trio thus far. It’s tonal upper effortlessly meets a white sole for an update to the classic summertime look, and you can see more images when you click on the jump below. Let us know if you’re feelin these as a possible go-to look for the warm months or if you prefer the vibrant look of other colorways like the ‘Sprite’. via in52

We haven’t seen too many more Nike Tennis Classics since the Year of the Rabbit release in January but now Nike Sportswear has suddenly remembered this model that used to see releases more frequently. Hot on the heels of the canvas Premiums we just showed you come a duo of Tennis Classic AC Premium LTR Quickstrikes in buttery smooth leather with perforated Swooshes. White and caramel brown pairs both feature lime green foxing and a brass top eyelet for a nice mix of sporty and classy, and you can see more images when you click on the jump below. Let us know what you think and stick with Sneaker News for updates in advance of the June 3rd release date. via NikeStadium.

Rajon Rondo has managed to steal the spotlight from the aging ‘Boston Three Party’, emerging as the team’s true leader and offensive coordinator. He dropped 20 dimes on the Knicks in Game 3 and helped seal the deal in Game 4 to orchestrate to lone first-round sweep in the 2011 Playoffs. Rondo’s been rocking low-top kicks for most of the season (oddly enough, it’s the Kobe VI at the moment), and during one regular season game against NYK, he wore a ‘Cool Grey’-esque colorway of the 360 BB Low. The game will be noted for two key moments – Paul Pierce’s game-winning jumper, and Rondo turning his ankle rather severely wearing these shoes. However, Rondo gave the 360 BB Low another shot, and hopefully he’ll break out these sweet PEs during the remainder of the Playoffs. A new gallery of images await you below, so take a look and let us know what you think. via hk-kicks.
