Team-related colorways typically come in pairs, so when Sneaker News first showed you the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘FC Barcelona’ in the Bright Mango colorway, you might’ve guessed that another more familiar FC Barcelona colorway was on its way. Not much later, we showed you this Kobe VI version of the FC Barcelona Pack, which features a blue/gold/wine red colorway that is taken right from the recognizable FC Barcelona Home kit. The most notable feature of this colorway is the bold-striped inner lining, which is clearly taken from the ‘Home’ uniforms worn by FC Barcelona, and the FC Barcelona crest stamped on the inner face of the tongue. Continue reading for another look at the ‘Home’ colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI FC Barcelona Pack and watch for these at select Nike Basketball retailers in Europe now. via NT.

What would it be like to go shopping at your local mall and find out that you can right there on the spot grab a couple limited edition colorways from Jordan Brand’s lightest signature basketball sneaker ever? That seems to have happened to in select cities where Foot Locker’s House of Hoops specialty locations have started offering two Air Jordan Fly Wade exclusives. The first is between May’s general release and Dwyane’s playoff PEs, a black and red look that sees its distinguishing red ankle collar light up thanks to reflective 3M. Another pair with the same blocking comes out of left field with its blue accents, which seems fitting given the overall surprise of this release. Click through to see more images and let us know if you were able to find these at your local House of Hoops. via NT

New Balance is best known for their running models, be it the unbeatable classics or cutting-edge tech oriented new releases. But the brand offers footwear for a wide variety of sports, perhaps most notably of late signing a partnership to become the Boston Red Sox’ official footwear and apparel sponsor. So with NB breaking out of the running mold, now seems like a good time to check out this classic basketball silhouette, the New Balance P485. The NB485 is similar to other ’80s basketball sneakers like the Nike Terminator, this latest model in black or white patent with cheetah print accents adding D-ring eyelets for a rugged feel similar to some of the most recent Terms. Click through to see more of this wild New Balance P485 and stick with Sneaker News for word on a possible US release. via Styles.

It’s generally accepted that A Bathing Ape’s Bape Sta is a direct takeoff on the Nike Air Force 1 Low. All it really takes is one look to see the AF1′s silhouette and sole, so when you see the Bape Sta Mil Low, you might do a double take. The classic two-piece sole remains but resting atop is anything but Uptown, this model switching to a nearly one-piece canvas upper with an eye-placket blocked off by the same piping that runs along your ankle. And it’s on the lateral side of that line where you’ll meet a black/red crest and realize Bape still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve.

The Dallas Mavericks made sure we won’t be seeing any Nike Zoom Kobe VI NBA Finals PEs, so with the coming absence of Kobe Bryant sightings in our NBA Feet feature, it seems fitting that the newest ZK6 colorway is another camouflage look. Here’s a closer look at the ‘Italian Camo’ Zoom Kobe VI, now the third camo ZK6 we’ve seen (not to mention the limited run on NIKEiD), and the one that’s probably the most ‘natural’ looking. In fact, they bear a slight resemblance to the legendary Brian Anderson x Nike SB Dunk High thanks to the earthy mix and the way their Crimson Swoosh leans toward orange in these images. Click through to see more, let us know how these rank against the other camouflage Kobe VIs and stick with Sneaker News for new developments including the US release date.

Each of the Air Jordan Sky High Retro Low releases we’ve seen so far has offered a single color on its upper plus a white midsole and the latest is no different. This new Sky High Low is built of the same materials as the Varsity Red pair we showed you on Monday except for its use of a white contrast stitch on the Victory Green canvas uppers. This plus the lightly freyed Swoosh helps these carve out their own little niche within the relatively simple range, so will you be rocking green kicks this summer? Click through to see some more angles and if you like what you see you’ll find these at Jordan Brand retailers like FinishLine.

OG pairs of the Air Jordan AJKO are reserved for the hardcore of the hardcore. The black/red AJKO is near the top of rarest Air Jordans of all time, joining the several team-based colorways of the Air Jordan 1 and off-colored AJKOs like the tonal indigo purple colorway. This original pair of the Black/Red AJKO you see here has withstood the test of time (AJKOs don’t age very well thanks to the canvas upper), with the only real degradation occuring on the midsole and eroded lace eyelets. Other than that, what you see before you is a true Air Jordan collector’s gem that is priced rather fairly compared to other OG Air Jordan 1s and AJKOs we’ve seen before. If you’ve never seen this colorway before, check out the extra images below and take a look at the auction from silverline55paul on eBay.

Believe it or not, this is the second release in 2011 of an Air Jordan V in Black/Metallic Silver. Of course the first of such releases was the Premio version that dropped in February, but for those who were unable to cop one of the roughly 2,000 pairs in existence, a general release version modeled after the original release in 1990 (like the OG pair we showed you recently) is set for a wide drop later this year. A few changes to be noted; the upper features a softer nubuck, the Jumpman on the outsole is red and not the OG black, and the stitching on the outsole returns once again, carrying over from the 2007 Retro version. These are set for a Fall 2010 release, but SneakerApe is glad to share that they have a full size run available for purchase now. Take another look below and head there to cop one now.

Drastic changes have been made to the Nike Air Max Running flagship from 2009 -> 2010 -> 2011 on the upper designs, shedding Flywire, adding diamond mesh, and implementing Fuse. For the Air Max+ 2012, Nike is taking a page out of the book of the recently released Nike Free Run+ 2 and upcoming Nike Lunarglide+ 3, using the multi-layered upper design that mimics the muscular anatomy of the human foot. A mesh base layer lies underneath a layer of Fuse, with another tensile material above it to create a highly stable and lightweight upper construction, with the heel being constructed with the seam-less composite material seen on other Nike Fuse footwear designs. Remaining unchanged is the running-specific 360-degree Max Air footbed. Take look at the eight upcoming colorways after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more updates on the 2012 flagship model of the Nike Air Max running shoe, and except these to hit Nike Running retailers during the Spring 2012 season. via CK.

Whether you’re a tennis fan or not, the variety of looks found within the Packer Shoes x Reebok Court Victory Pump ‘Grand Slam Pack’ offer something for everybody. If you’re partial to a bolder style, the wildest design in the bunch comes by way of the French Open edition, featuring a white canvas upper splattered with simulated clay stain graphics. Offset by hits of green and the neon yellow tennis ball Pump on the tongue, the French Open installment of the “Packer Slam” has had the sneaker world buzzing ever since pics first surfaced a few months back. Now, with the Roland Garros festivities about to swing into action, you can finally get your hands on a pair. The shoe will be released in limited quantities tomorrow at Packer Shoes in Teaneck, NJ with an additional allocation of stock to be sold through their online pop-up store. If you’re in the Tri-State area tomorrow, swing by Packer Shoes to pick up your French Open Pumps along with some t-shirts and other goodies to be included with purchase while supplies last.
