It’s Janoski season, and here we have yet another preview at an upcoming colorway. This low-top version features a black canvas/denim material on the upper, perhaps the same denim-like material used on the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Denim’ that dropped a few weeks ago, with a dark grey swoosh and brown accents on the lace eyelets as well as on the tongue label. Again, matching these with your outfit should be easy as pie, and the Janoski has proven to be one of the most popular SB models since it first debuted in 2009. Another image awaits you below, so take a peek and let us know what you think.

Two years ago, Trevor Ariza played shutdown D on the perimeter to help the Los Angeles Lakers win their first of back to back championships. He missed the postseason last year with Houston but is now back in the playoffs with New Orleans, who have a chance to upset the defending champs in the first round. And no matter the outcome of this competitive series, nobody can doubt Ariza’s Nike Basketball player exclusive collection, models like this new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low PE having become a regular side benefit of his solid play. Will the Hornets be able to undercut the Lakers? We’ll need at least two more games to find out but be sure to stick with Sneaker News to see what all the NBA stars are wearing in our ongoing NBA Feet feature.

“You get a LunarGlide+ 2! And you get a you get a LunarGlide+ 2! And you get a LunarGlide+ 2!”
Ok, so it didn’t actually go down like that but Nike co-founder and chairman Phil Knight certainly left an impression on the crowd at ‘Oprah‘. Knight sat down with everybody’s favorite TV talk show host, covering Phil’s life from major league dreams to leading Nike, Inc. to its place as global leader and beyond. And for those of you dying to know, it looks like Knight went for a pair of Cole Haans rather than the Air Jordan player exclusive route. Click through to see the Oprah-exclusive Nike LunarGlide+ 2 in white/neon/black and stick with Sneaker News for the latest from around the industry. via OregonLive

Boston Celtics sharpshooter Ray Allen has seen more dope Air Jordan PEs come his way than pretty much anybody outside of Michael himself, but now Celtic fans get a chance at their own look for the playoff season. The Air Jordan CMFT Vis 13 blends a Nike Air Max 1-derived sole and cushion with the dimpled ballistic nylon panels made famous on the Air Jordan XIII, this Green Apple-accented colorway most similar to the ‘Altitude’ colorway that just dropped last year. Click through to see more angles and look for yours at select Jordan Brand retailers like FinishLine.

Asics has teamed up with Japanese retaiiler Gettry in a collaborative effort to produce a sweet new colorway of the Asics Double Clutch, using military themes and accents for a rugged yet refined appeal. The camouflage upper is paired with olive green suede and a blast of orange on the upper as well as the inner lining and features a golden zipper on the lateral side of the heel for an additional military inspiration. We’ve seen zippers on mid-top casual shoes, like the adidas Nizza High Zipper and the recently redone Nike Blazer Mid, but the Gettry x Asics Double Clutch MIL not only makes use of the functionality of the zip, but the style points as well. More images below, so take a look and let us know what you think.

Comparisons have been made between Kobe Bryant and Paul Rodriguez thanks to both California natives having annual Swooshed signature sneakers. But perhaps a better match to P-Rod is LeBron James. These guys were born within a single day of one another at the end of 1984 (LeBron is a day older) and both have watched their successful sneaker lines grow into offering new colorways on three distinct models. Here’s the newest colorway from Paul’s latest model, the Nike SB Vulc Rod in Liberty Blue, Marine and Sport Red. The last color of that trio is featured on the gingham sockliner that maximizes this pair’s summertime feel and you can grab yours just in time for the summer from Flatspot.

The three-headed genius-monster known collectively as HTM has brought us a variety of avant garde looks over the years, and Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield and Mark Parker’s latest is set to satisfy your summer sandal needs. The Nike HTM Solar Soft combines a lightweight and breathable injected foam upper with the Swoosh’s unbeatable LunarLon cushioning to create something like a performance-oriented pair of Crocs. Pairs in black and green both feature bold white branding on the lateral sides plus a black sole and just hit Japan’s Styles so click through for more and stick with Sneaker News for word on a possible US release date.

Not long ago Sneaker News gave you another look at an unreleased sample pair of the Nike SB Dunk High that featured a unique Distressed leather, treated with paraffin wax. The ‘distressed’ process takes full-grain leather and tumbles it with the carbon-based material, creating natural variations and markings for the ‘distressed’ look. Paraffin wax is also used in a number of other every-day materials, such as candles, crayons, and even foods. In this case, it’s used on the leather materials to make this sample pair of the SB Dunk, which dates back to ’03. The upper features a distressed leather as well as brown suede, with a beige suede swoosh, a total combination of colors similar to the ‘Brown Pack’ SB Dunks or even the ‘Un-Tweeds‘. Check out the images below and if you need to add these to your SB collection, check out the auction from adcemy77 on eBay.

Last year Sneaker News featured an Original pair of the Air Jordan VII Bordeaux for one of our Classics Revisited features after news of a Retro release was confirmed. Now that the release of the Bordeaux VII has passed, let’s take another look at a comparison between the OG and the Retro. One discrepancy that has been mentioned numerous times during Bordeaux discussions on Sneaker News is the absence of green on the tongue (clearly seen on the OG, absent on the Retro). You’ll notice other differences like the color of the insole, shade of green on the triangular badge on the heel, and the shade of grey on the materials on the upper and midsole. Despite not being an exact copy, which can be understandable considering the age of the OGs, the Air Jordan VII Bordeaux release was met with arms wide open and was certainly an easy pick-up for any Jordan fan. Check out the extra comparison shots below and if you still haven’t picked up a pair, snag one now on eBay. A big thanks to Alex for sending the pics.

Legendary British heavy metal pioneers Iron Maiden are considered to be one of the most influential metal bands of all time. Aside from their revolutionary sound, Iron Maiden is likely best recognized by their mascot Eddie and their trademark artwork done by artist Derek Riggs, all starting with the cover of Iron Maiden’s original self-titled album seen here on the side panel of this infamous SB Dunk. This rare Nike SB Dunk High was made for friends and family and features the remastered artwork on the upper center panel of the shoe, matched with a tonal black leather/suede upper combination, a transparent swoosh, and the band’s iconic name stitched on the heel. One interesting note about this uber-rare sample is that the band’s logo is reversed on the heels, so reading from left to right, ‘Maiden Iron’ is what appears. The Nike SB Dunk High ‘Iron Maiden’ was a hot topic back in 2006 when rumors of a release first came to surface, and now we have another look at one of the rarest Nike SB Dunks ever created. Continue reading for a detailed look and if you’re interested in the asking price, check out the auction from supremenike on eBay.
