Nike iD recently upgraded its Air Max 95 palette by…allowing for original colorways to be produced. Although that may be counteractive to what Nike iD is intended for, the OG multi-grey color scheme is about as unbreakable as any other colorway can get – only now you can choose whatever secondary color you’d like to be splashed onto the visible Air, small swoosh, and lace hoops. Last year’s ‘Photo Blue’ Air Max 95 was a big hit because we’ve never seen a colorway like that since the OG, but now for the second straight year, Nike Sportswear is introducing one of the most popular Air Max 95 colorways ever created, only this time we get a slightly darker ‘Blue Spark’, which is a bit more closer to the OG. These aren’t set for a release until early-mid June, but you can grab them now from well-known e-tailer PickYourShoes or on eBay.

Soft suede does wonders for any sneaker, even for the Nike Air Force 1 Low that may be better recognized for its all-white leather uppers. This new release take a tonal motif of an earthy beige/khaki tone and utilizes contrasting materials – suede for the base an synthetic smooth leather on the swoosh and heel-tab – and pairs it with a chocolate brown outsole and -AIR- badge on the heel of the shoe. Another notable detail is the rarely seen nylon tongue, which provides an added touch of ‘vintage’. You’ll find these at Nike Sportswear retailers like BXSports now so check out the images after the jump and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates on upcoming suede-uppered Air Force 1 Low releases!

There won’t be another Finals MVP pack for the Nike Zoom Kobe VI, but given that Kobe Bryant’s disappearance from the NBA Playoffs was relatively sudden and unexpected, perhaps this latest release is an accurate thematic representation of how his season ended. The Nike Zoom Kobe VI will soon see a third camouflage colorway hit retailers, this tonal grey edition with vibrant blue and red accents. These are noticeably different than the sample pair we saw at the start of the month that featured red Flywire strands, the retail edition’s ‘hidden’ look coming across much cleaner. You can see proof of that fact when you click on the jump below and if you have the urge to conceal these in your sneaker closet even before they hit retail, check out Kicks-Lab.

In what is to be a busy month for Jordan Brand, June features the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’, the trio of Air Jordan 2011′s and the Air Jordan VII ‘Cardinal’ which follow the long awaited ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘YOTR’ VII’s. The last time the Air Jordan VII ‘Cardinal’ retroed was in 2006 and with the 2011 scheduled to drop in a few weeks there aren’t any real differences, if any at all, between the two. The latest retro of the ‘Cardinal’ VII is sure to be a hit with its release date, which coincides with high-school graduation ceremonies, as you can’t have a graduation without getting a gift or two. Check out the additional images after the jump and be sure to hit up Wish ATL on release date for your pair, but to score your pair early head over right now to eBay.

Nike Sportswear’s ‘True Colors’ collection is similar to last year’s Air Attack Pack in its ever-growing breadth, but rather than follow a clearly defined theme, this one has developed organically. Interestingly enough, it all started back in January with the preview of a another ‘CBF’ Nike Air Max 90, an all-white edition that came onto the scene before we ever expected anything resembling a ‘White Pack’. About a month later, we spotted a black ostrich skin edition CBF AM90 hit retail, and only after that drop did the White Pack/True Colors collection start to take shape as we’ve seen it. So based on the black and obsidian offspring we’ve seen from that family tree, you might have expected to see another color if there was to be another Air Max 90 ‘CBF’, but as you can see above, this new revelation is another black pair, but with different materials than the aforementioned ostrich release. Click through to get a better look, let us know which CBF AM90 you like best and stick with Sneaker News for updates because NSW probably has even more up their sleeves. via Kixpress

Another week of new sneaker releases are upon us, but have you kept on pace? It may be difficult (and at times, pesky) to keep up with all the fresh releases, but that’s what the Sneaker News Weekly Buyer’s Guide is here for – to give you a quick rundown of what’s fresh out of the oven. Nike SB’s June 2011 releases just became available (that ‘Send Help’ SB Dunk Mid is looking great) as did the Grey/Neon colorway of the Air Max JR. If you’re looking for Retro trainers, this week brought in a new colorway of the Air Trainer SC II High and an OG colorway of the Air Trainer Max2 ’94. We’ve also got a quick preview of what’s hitting stores this weekend, so check out this week’s Buyer’s Guide and let us know what you’ll be copping!

Unless his Chicago Bulls can pull off a 92/8 upset, 2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose will have to wait until next year to continue working toward his first championship. Less than 10 times in over 200 instances has a team down 3-1 come back to win a conference finals series, so we may as well start taking a hard look at the adidas adiZero Rose 2.0. This model is a logical follow-up to the adiRose 1.5 upgrade, their super-lighteweight SprintWeb uppers offering a breathable ride. This Gucci-leaning colorway feature the ‘Cleared for Flight’ insoles we saw in a recent preview, which ironically enough doesn’t feature a ‘cancelled’ status for Miami, the team likely to end their run. Click through to see more angles and stick with Sneaker News for updates like the adiZero Rose 2.0 release date. Thanks kham

We just got a look at the third Air Max 90 ‘CBF’, but that doesn’t mean the Brazilians have the edge over the French. Just two days after Sneaker News showed you images of two classic runners done as part of the same collaboration, here’s a brand new Nike Air BW Gen II created with the French Football Federation in mind. These new BW Gen IIs aren’t Tricolored like the FFF retro runners we saw Tuesday, but instead opt for the tonal grey look that seems to be among the most popular in the sneaker world these days. A translucent sole reveals a soccer ball geometric on the bottom and you can see this and more details when you click on the jump below. Let us know what you think and if you want to grab your own ‘FFF’ Air BW Gen IIs, check with select Nike Sportswear retailers like Shelta.

The world was introduced to Nike Shox Basketball when Vince Carter jumped over and cleared the seven footer Frederic Weis, for a vicious dunk in what seemingly ended Weis’ NBA career at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Carter continued to lead Shox Basketball with his own signature line, the Nike Shox VC, but now Nike Basketball is poised to revive Shox Basketball with the Nike Hypershox; a fusion of the upper and midsole of the Nike Hyperfuse 2011 with an Air Shox unit. A cool feature of this Black/Black colorway of the Hypershox is the metallic swoosh on the midsole that changes color when viewed at different angles. Check out the additional images after the jump and let us know what you think. via Kicks-Lab.

“Why is Eric here, dude?”
It’s a fair question, given that a team of Nike SB riders were sent to pick up Eric Koston from Paramount’s Hollywood studios. Koston jokingly explained that he was auditioning for a part in Beverly Hills Chiuaua 3, but judging by the arc in the tour video just posted to his Nike SB microsite, it’s all part of a whirlwind life for Swoosh Skateboarding’s newest superstar. The guys headed east from LA into Arizona where we start to see some skate action, including a memorable 50-50 along a swooping ledge while using a Shake Weight. And there’s plenty more where that came from, including some golf, more skating and all set to a dope soundtrack. Click through to see more and head over to the Eric Koston microsite to see the video, then get ready for the Nike SB Zoom Koston One to hit retailers next month.

The newest Nike Zoom Kobe VI colorway marks the first time the Staples Center has been darkened for the year before a ‘Blackout’ edition hit retail. And to be fair, this black and silver Zoom Kobe 6 isn’t as dark as your typical ‘Triple Black’ look, but the color combination does roughly match last year’s Zoom Kobe V ‘Blackout’, if adding a bit of levity thanks to a fully grey Swoosh this time around. But with no purple splash on the sole they carry an overall darker tone than last year’s model, but are they better? Click through to see more angles, let us know what you think and if you want to grab a pair before the US release date, head over to Kicks-lab.
