Blake Griffin’s star power is through the roof right at the moment, because you’ve probably seen the Clippers standout in plenty of television advertisements since his breakout 2010-11 season. Blake completely took over the 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend, winning the Dunk Contest, performing some sick dunks during the game, earning a spot on the Western All-Star squad, and debuting the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 during the game. While were’ eagerly anticipating the release of the next installation of the Hyperdunk 2011 legacy, here’s a look at it’s lower-cut brethren – the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 Low. The Nike Zoom Hyperdunk Low features a the same outsole construction, lightweight Flywire-stabilized upper shell, pronounced heel-cup, and pointed tongue. You can expect these eight team-based colorways for the Spring 2012 season, so check out all eight after the jump and let us know which of eight colorways you like best. via CK.

Last year’s Supreme x Nike SB ’94 earned its way onto the Sneaker News Top 30 of 2010 thanks in large part to the unprecedented use of Foamposite material on a skate shoe. Four different tonal colorways dropped last November, and apparently the one that most closely resembles the sneaker upon which its standout material debuted, was upended like their signature athlete’s career. Why didn’t this Orlando Magic-colored Nike SB ’94 make it to retail? Apparently creative disputes between Supreme and SB resulted in a chopping-the-baby-in-half situation, so the best we can do is hope a pair pops up sometime soon on the ‘bay and enjoy a closer look after the jump. via Colmilludo

It’s been quite a week for the Air Jordan 2.0 as the initial colorway was spotted on eBay in advance of next week’s official release date and a new edition was revealed in mens and kids sizes. Furthering the Max Air-cushioned momentum is this new kids-first preview of another Air Jordan 2.0 release we’ll see later this year, this pair offering a twist on the glut of grey sneakers we’ve seen in recent months thanks to the golden accents on the tongue and full-length Air bubble. Click through to see a series of additional angles and check with Air-Randy for an early stock of this kids Air Jordan 2.0 in US sizes 4-7.

Kobe may not have realized his dream of earning a second three-peat, but his legacy still remains strong, especially overseas. Nike will continue to release Nike Zoom Kobe takedown models in Asia because they’re just so dang popular! Here’s a look at another upcoming model of the Nike Zoom Kobe takedown line, likely one of bunch of Make Sense, Venomenon, and Dream Season releases that have been Asia Exclusives for some time. It features a similar midsole design as the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, with pronounced, jagged peaks, the outsole traction of the Zoom Kobe Venomenon, and a unique material/texture on the upper of each of the four upcoming colorways. We’ve got a closer look at all four after the jump so take a look and let us know what you think. via aaronknows.

The most notable Nike WMNS Tennis Classic release of 2011 was the Year of the Rabbit edition, but since those are well past gone, let’s take a look at an upcoming colorway. This new Tennis Classic AC for ladies comes in a mix of that supremely dark shade called Gridiron plus a Glacier Blue kick plate that’s blended perfectly thanks to a woven textile upper somewhere between canvas and denim. Click through to look at some additional angles and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their availability. via Dunk

Has the fashion world come to a post-recession full-circle? We just saw Lil Wayne at courtside of Bulls/Heat Game 4 wearing the Nike SB Dunk Mid ‘Mama Bear’ along with a Billionaire Boys Club tee and camo cargo shorts, a look that at least on paper, could have just as easily popped up the last time LeBron James was playing in a conference finals series. It’s a reminder of a time when Ice Cream and Bape were among the hottest sneaker choices on the market, an era also evoked by this new BBC Nothings colorway. This model might be the least ‘nothing’ yet, eschewing the heretofore monochromatic colorways in favor of an earthy camouflage print that works nicely with a gum rubber sole. Click through to see more and grab these at select BBC retailers like Caliroots.

When news that both Brazil and France’s football governing bodies were both involved with Nike Sportswear collaborations this year, it would have been natural to assume some kind of mutual theme. But the French releases came and went with a couple of dope Dunk Highs and the CBF edition seemed to get caught up in the ever-expanding ‘True Colors’ collection, so while these two new pairs are a surprise, this in and of itself is something we’ve come to expect. Check out the Nike Air Pegasus ’83 and Elite classic runners done up in a French colorway with French Football Federation tongue tags. These joints cleverly walk a line between old school running aesthetics and the Tricolour and you can see more images of both when you click on the jump below. Leave a comment to let us know which is best and grab one or both of them today from AsphaltGold.

The Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’ initially released in 2001, but did you know there was a different sample version of CG XI made a year before that? Here’s a look at a rare sales sample of the Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’ that features a noticeable darker outsole tint. Don’t mistake the ‘smoked’ outsole as yellowing due to age, because the different color of the outsole was made intentionally to match to grey scheme on the upper – you can even see it in an old Eastbay catalog image (which we have for you below). Other differences between the 2000 ‘Smoked’ sample and the 2001 released version is that the inner lining features a smoother, silkier material with considerably more padding compared to the 2001 version. The tint on the outsole of the Air Jordan XI has been a significant topic of debate thanks to the blue tint seen on the 2010 release of the Cool Grey, but throw the ‘Smoked’ version in the mix and you have three different types up for discussion (make it four if you count the mesh-uppered sample). What do you think of the darker outsole? Check out the images below and let us know what you think. via yungdrseuss.

We’ve shown you upcoming Air Max 1s, the NSW Vac-Tech Pack, some sweet new Duckboot Air Force 1 Highs, and even the latest Nike ACG offerings.

It’s a broad variety of classic models and new releases, like a whole new set of suede-uppered Blazer Lows, tonal colorways of the Nike Air Vortex, Harris Tweed material on a pair of Dunk Highs, and a some crisp new Air Max 90 releases. Continue reading for a full overview of the rest of the Nike Sportswear Holiday 2011 Footwear Preview and stick with Sneaker News for more updates regarding releases for the remainder of the year. via END.

Sneakerness Cologne 2011 was already projected to be a huge success thanks to a great preview video that we showed you a few weeks back, but here’s some actual proof from the event! Keep in mind that the sneaker game in Europe is a far cry from the Air Jordan and Nike Basketball driven craze we have here; Euro sneakerheads are heavy on trainers (running shoes) from all types of brands (in fact, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a pair of Jordans inside the sick venue). In addition to the sneaker buying/selling, there some great installations from Puma and a great sneaker art gallery exhibit. We’ve got more for you below so take a look and head to Sneaker Freaker for the entire recap.
