Nike SB has been releasing some fine-tuned Dunk Lows, arriving in simple colorways and great materials. This upcoming September release features Gold Dust yellow on a full canvas upper with a black swoosh and matching contrast stitching paired with a jump-out-at-you red inner lining – a simple composition that should make for success on store shelves. One reader referred to these as the ‘poor man’s Money Cats’, referring the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Money Cat’ that features a similar colorway (but more dazzling materials). If ‘toned down’ is more up your alley, perhaps the ‘Gold Dust’ Low will make for a better option, so stay tuned for a September release or cop this size 9 sample now from jamzx3 on eBay.

This year has been one of the best in recent memory for Air Jordan retro models, and the long-overdue return of the Air Jordan 14 is quietly one of the biggest stories from Jordan Brand this year. The sleek suede on the upper of this brand new colorway is another addition to the ever growing line of greyed-out shoes this year, however the graphite shade strikes a contrast with the typical cool greys we’ve been seeing. The Ferrari-inspired design of the Air Jordan 14 came at the tail end of the Tinker-era, and will of course always be remember as the “Last Shot” sneaker for Michael. Take a look at the more detailed photos of the upcoming Air Jordan 14 ‘Light Graphite’ after the jump. If you can’t stand the wait till October, Kicks Crew has them a bit early, and you can also find some floating around on eBay.

Nike Lava Dunks have become increasingly popular in recent years, Nike Sportswear taking note and offering several new colorways for the coming cold weather. This model is, of course, a hybrid, and given the exposure from the more familiar Dunk mashup, it seems a fine time to reintroduce the Nike Air Lava Dome itself. A trio of Steven Alan designed pairs got 2011 off to a good start and now we have two new pairs to show you for the fall season. Both mix tonal suede and canvas with a contrasting Swoosh and black outsole, your choice between grey/navy and black/yellow ensuring you’ll find something to match nearly every wardrobe option imaginable. Click through to see more angles of both pairs and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via Dunk

Last week, Sneaker News showed you the first look at two upcoming Nike ACG Lava Dunk colorways, but those weren’t the first colorways from this season we had previewed. That distinction belongs to a Halloweeny Lava Dunk first seen all the way back in April, its high contrast black and orange colorway matched if not exceeded by the newly revealed version with a neon green underlay and purple Swoosh. These are a bit more to the All Conditions Gear side of things compared to the other pairs we mentioned above; which ones do you like best? These are scheduled for a Fall 2011 release, but no word yet on whether or not they will be making it to U.S. retailers. via tenisfuki

With the Huarache being one of the most sacred OG styles from Nike, readers might get a bit queasy at the thought of any modern remake of this classic trainer. While we recognize that, it’s hard to argue against the pairing of the super flexible Nike Free technology with the Huarache upper, manifested here in the Nike WMNS Huarache Light 2011. These ladies colorways span a nice range, from an all black joint to some more pastel offerings that fall in line with what you would expect for the Nike WMNS line. Hit the jump for a look at all four of the new colorways for the Nike WMNS Huarache Light 2011, which are available now at Nikestore.

One tends to associate hiking through the outdoors with mountains and cold climates (be it seasonal or elevation-induced), so as we approach another stretch of cold weather, it’s only natural to see Nike All Conditions Gear roll out a series of new weather-ready designs. We’ve seen the Manoa and Air Nevist-6 boots revealed this week and now another brand new boot is ready to debut with the Nike ACG Zoom Meriweather coming up in four different TrailFrame-suspended colorways. The phonetic ‘merry-weather’ is appropriate given their waterproof suede construction, bred, grey, tonal green and black/pink colorways ensuring there’s something for everyone. Click through to see all four pairs, let us know which one you like best and stick with Sneaker News for the Zoom Meriweather ACG release dates. via Shoe-Planet

Nike has been turning up the heat with their kids releases, with Air Max 90s, Air Force 1s, and now a nice pair of Dunks for the summer.

The Nike Toki is the uber-casual, lifestyle friendly, pseudo high-end Nike Sportswear offering that became awfully popular when it debuted back in 2009. It also fell victim to one of those ‘wrong place at the wrong time’ situations when the Toki was spotted on LeBron James’ feet when he made his one-hour ‘Decision’ on national TV. That’s a tidbit of trivia that only sneakerheads would even know about, but regardless of that fact the Toki is still widely popular and will continue to be now that we have these new women’s colorways dropping soon. These canvas-uppered Tokis feature funky graphics and designs on the upper – the Bold Berry in a seersucker-like pinstripe and the Bright Cerise in a Mexican Blanket motif. Both should begin to hit NSW retailers come August, so take a look below and let us know if the Nike Toki is one of the best casual shoes out today. via kickscrew.
