Judging by the comments left here on Sneaker News, sneakerheads so far have preferred the original Air Jordan 2011 to its Quick Fuse edition, but then again, both of the colorways we’ve seen so far have been subtle if a tad boring. Black/white and white/black certainly have their place in the world of shoe design, but how about something a bit more vibrant? Maybe the black and Photo Blue AJ2011 Quick Fuse will be the one to capture your imagination. The palette is similar to a House of Hoops-exclusive Fly Wade that just released, the black forefoot framed by bright blue on the heel and midsole. Click through to get a better look at the latest Air Jordan 2011 Quick Fuse revelation and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via RMK

A few days back, we got our first sneak peek at a very intriguing edition of the upcoming Nike SB Zoom Koston One featuring the upper of the Kobe VI fixed atop the Koston midsole. Eric’s love for Kobe and the Lakers is well known, so for the introduction of his first signature model from Nike SB, a very special version of the shoe was created to bring the two superstar LA athletes together in shoe form. Unfortunately for most of us, news has just surfaced indicating that a mere 24 pairs of this crazy collab shoe will be available for purchase. The shoe will release tomorrow, May 21st at the Nike Vault in Los Angeles complete with a custom wooden humidor containing Nike Eric Koston golf balls and a luxurious suede shoe bag. Proceeds from the sales will go to charitable measures from Nike Better World and The Kobe Bryant Family Foundation to improve LA playgrounds. Check out some more pics and info after the jump and if you were planning on getting a pair, you’d better come up with a gameplan immediately!

The Nike Zoom Huarache TR Low has been subject to a number of special colorways and releases, like the Manny Pacquiao editions and the Joe Mauer ‘The Show’ PE. One colorway that we’ve been anticipating long before those special athlete editions were even known about was this White/Varsity Royal-Volt colorway, which takes after one of the OG colorways of the Nike Air Huarache running shoe from the 90′s. The Huarache TR Low is no longer just a running shoe, but an all-purpose trainer thanks to the rugged traction, Torch sock-liner, and Zoom Air cushioning, so the multi-sport service of the TR Low should make them one of the best shoes of the summer. Take a look at the new images below and grab a pair now on Eastbay or on eBay.

They were supposed to hit retailers in late April and then got pushed into May, so will the June 9th release date for the next trio of Air Jordan 2011 colorways hold firm? We certainly hope so, because each one of them is quite dope in its own right, this black and Neo Lime edition holding down the darker end of the spectrum. In this latest round of images, we get a really good sense for how dynamic the luxurious leather mudguard will look once you’ve got your pair. These are definite head-turners and you can see more new photos when you click on the jump below. via mita-sneakers.

LeBron James did his best to ensure that the Miami Heat will be be playing into June with a great performance in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. With the Heat playing at their peak, this could finally be the year that LeBron wins his first NBA title and Nike Basketball has a championship caliber range of coloways ready for what could very well be a summer to celebrate. The ‘Solar Red’ Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low will certainly get an invite to the party, its vibrant Flywire shell as intense as any we’ve seen from the LeBron 8 line. Click through to see a fresh batch of images and if you need yours now, pick up a pair early from SneakerApe.

Jay-Z has a thing for the Air Jordan III Black/Cement because here is, spotted once again in these Jordans. Jay-Z was a live performer at the Adult Swim Upfront 2011 Event at Roseland Ballroom in New York City, and he showed up wearing his trademark threads – a black t-shirt, a Yankees fitted, and the CDP IIIs. You may remember his last sighting with ‘em on last December while vacationing with Beyonce, and even during another live performance in October of 2009. It’s likely that Jay-Z’s got a closet filled with deadstock pairs, so keep ‘em coming, Jay. Check out the images from his live show below and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet coverage.

The Kobe VI releases keep on rolling in as we get yet another look at the upcoming release of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI given the ‘Italian Camo’ moniker. This is the third camouflage print Kobe VI we’ve seen this year (minus the ‘Quickstrike’ Camo option on Nike iD), and it’s somewhat fitting that the colorists behind this shoe specifically chose the camouflage color specific to the Italian military (although camo here is camo…everywhere). The Italian Camo Kobe VI is given an added punchy vibe with the crimson swoosh, shozoku logo, inner tongue lining, and what appears to be minute, random specklings of crimson red on the upper. These are set for a release on June 4th at select Nike Basketball retailers, but grab a pair now on 95soleman on eBay.

The Nike Elite Youth Baksetball League brings together top-tier traveling 17 & under basketball teams for a series of games that culminates with a tournament in July. Each of the 24 participants in that tourney will earn a contract with Nike for the following season, and if that gear is anywhere near the quality of this Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low, they’re in for a treat. The EYBL Hyperfuse Low manages to totally avoid a ‘Christmas’ characterization thanks to precisely chosen shades of intense red and vibrant green. The end result is far more like a watermelon, and with the icey sole as its finishing touch, maybe they’re a watermelon flavored sno-cone. A delicious summer treat for sneakerheads, the Zoom Hyperfuse Low ‘EYBL’ should hit select Nike Basketball retailers some time before the conclusion of the league finals, and you can see more images when you click on the jump below. Thanks to fatboykickz.

Nike’s hybrid theory: take a time-honored classic, adjust the tooling just a bit throw in some new-age technology, tweak the name a bit, and release it as a ‘new shoe’. For some shoes, the formula seems to wore (see: Air Max JR). For others, it’s one that’s best kept under wraps (see: Air Max-A-Lot). The upcoming Flight Maestro Plus has yet to release, but the scrutiny begins now; adapting the classic design of the Nike Air Maestro, the Flight Maestro Plus now features a visible Max Air at the heel and a re-done upper with details taken from the original, like the perforated segment on the upper, the placement of the swoosh, and the stitch panels on the heel/ankle. Four colorways of the Flight Maestro Plus are set to release – Black/White, a NY Knicks inspired combination, White/Black/Red, and a Grey/Black/Blue – but where’s Scottie Pippen’s All-Star colorway? Check out the four upcoming colorways below and let us know what you think of this new ‘hybrid’ design. via CK.
