DJ Clark Kent has just given us our first look at the Nike Air Force 1 Low Hyperfuse in a blue/yellow/white colorway that he describes as ‘Absolute Craziness’. It features the multi-layered Hyperfuse upper (opposed to the tonal colorways we’ve seen on the Air Force 1 High Hyperfuse releases) with a solid white outsole and a black inner lining. We haven’t seen a release for these just yet, but with all the Nike Sportswear Hyperfuse releases dropping this month, you can expect more colorways of the Air Force 1 Low Hyperfuse to surface soon. Will they pop up on Nike iD on as well? We’ll have to wait and see, but for now, check out the extra images below and let us know what you think.

Tirelessly re-used, but hardly old, the Black/Volt combination reigns king among classic Nike colorways. Ever since the Black/Grey/Volt colorway debuted on the Air Max 95, Nike has tried to implement that unbreakable combo to all of its Nike shoes. Dave White calls that combo a favorite, and UK sneakerheads were fortunate enough to get a true Black/Grey/Volt colorway of the Air Max Light, but here’s yet another Light in an equally jaw-dropping colorway; set against a black base, the Volt just pops out of the screen and again reminds us that no sneaker can be questioned when featured in Black/Volt. These are available right now from overseas retailer Titolo so take another look after the jump and let us know what you think of the colorway.

Just before last year rolled into 2011, Nike Basketball released a ‘Think Pink’ Hyperdunk 2010 in a stunning metallic shade called Pinkfire II. It wasn’t the debut for this shade but the color itself does indeed represent first time that Nike had created a direct sequel to an older color (variations like Dark Obsidian/Obsidian or Freshwater/Radiant Emerald notwithstanding). And this year there’s yet another new Pinkfire shade, though the Pinkfire Light that makes up the majority of the new Nike LeBron Soldier V ‘Think Pink’ is one with a more standard nomenclature. And the pink shade isn’t quite as vivid as the ‘Jr.’ version, though they still have a certain undeniable appeal when paired with pure white. Click through for more and pick up this model benefiting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund today from NikeStore.

The Air Trainer Max2 ’94 is enjoying another round of retro releases this summer, but we’ve been waiting longer for one of its direct descendents. The Nike Air Trainer Max ’97 is finally back after a long hibernation, this new colorway a nice compromise between today’s trends and the era from which the model’s distinctive Air Max 95-style tongue emblem originates. The mix of white and Neutral Grey with just a hint of Volt is itself a fairly versatile combo as far as neon-accented sneakers go, and you can pick these up as a strong go-to option for back to school from a Nike Sportswear retailer like Eastbay.

This offseason hasn’t been spent in his customary celebration -slash- superhuman training regimen, but Kobe Bryant has found his ways to stay in the public eye. The Black Mamba contributed design elements from his revolutionary Nike Basketball signature to Eric Koston’s first Nike SB model, he trashed former sponsors adidas and their adiZero Crazy Light sneaker, and he just wrapped up a Korean tour to further expand the ever-growing Asian basketball market. So while the season has ended, Kobe’s still hard at work, the kind of no-nonsense approach echoed by the Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘Blackout’. This model would be a perfect one-size-fits-all ‘away’ shoe with its Dark Grey-on-black construction, and you can find them available at NikeStore.

Sneakers News gave you a firsthand look at the Reebok ‘Reethym of Light’ event, which featured celebrity collaborator Swizz Beatz and the new Kamikaze 2011. However, the Swizz Beatz x Reebok partnership isn’t a one-shoe deal; in May, we should you samples of a lifestyle-inspired high-top shoe which featured studded appliques on the two mid-foot straps as well as on the upper, which some of our readers called a ‘poor man’s Louboutin sneaker‘. Based on the positive response to the shoe, that comment was more of a compliment than a criticism, and as we get a look at this new grey colorway of the upcoming Swizz Beatz x Reebok shoe (still unnamed), it’s evident that Reebok and Swizz has some impressive tricks up their sleeves. Check out the extra image of this upcoming release after the jump and let us know if you’d consider rocking these! via Colmilludo.

Basketball has thrived in popularity in Asia – for players and spectators alike. The growing partnership between Asian countries and American-born players has led Nike and Jordan Brand to send its marquee athletes on ‘tours’, as ambassadors for both the Nike brand and for the sport of basketball, and this July 27th, Jordan Brand has a special treat for its fans in Hong Kong as the Jordan Brand Flight Tour will feature its three best representatives – Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul – in a star-studded festival. The three signature Jordan Brand athletes will sport Jordan Brand Flight Tour PEs, which are inspired by traditional Chinese opera masks. The Jordan Fly Wade, Jordan Melo M7 Advance, and Jordan CP3.IV are each presented in unique colorways that represent the individual strengths of the three players. Matching t-shirts have also been fashioned, with each respective mask and a unique description of ‘Air’, ‘Explosive’, and ‘Quick’. A release of these special Flight Tour PEs hasn’t been confirmed, but check out the images of the three shoes below and stick with Sneaker News for more updates as they develop. via weibo/JordanBrandHK.

Penny Hardaway made Sneaker News recently when images of his Nike Air Force 1 exclusive surfaced in June, but it’s Penny’s Nike Sportswear retros that keep him relevant for a generation of fans who never saw the man drop a single dime. The Nike Air Penny III comes back out of left field with an updated take on its unique design, the black Foamposite plus Varsity Royal nubuck is kind of like a mid/late ’90s time capsule, but the use of ripstop nylon on the ankle collar and the sheer novelty of this striking new colorblocking scheme makes these feel totally fresh. Click through to see more angles and look for the Penny 3 LE at House of Hoops starting Saturday, July 23rd.

Michael Jordan made some interesting comments last year regarding the apparent collusion among LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, who ‘secretly’ agreed to form a super-star team when the three ’03 Draft Class superstars became free agents during the 2010 offseason. Michael’s exact words: “There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team’”. They did, however, play together once (some Olympic team in 1992), but it appears that the Holy Trinity of legends will converge once again as the three will appear on alternate covers for the NBA 2K12 video game franchise. After the astounding success of NBA 2K11 (the competition didn’t even bother), repeating MJ as the coverboy would be a shrewd idea, and adding the two other legends (as well as other bonus covers for those who pre-order the game) would give other fans even more incentive to buy the game this October 4th considering the current state of the NBA lockout. Check out all three covers for the upcoming NBA 2K12 (as well as MJ’s Air Jordan XIII ‘Bred’) after the jump and let us know which of the three you like best.

The ‘Miami Nights’ edition is sufficiently visually impressive that it recently left the usually loquacious SneakGeekz in a multi-wow’d state of shock, but that’s not the only way to make a dope Nike LeBron V/2 Low. In fact, you could take every single color off the shoe and it’d still be a dope design, as evidenced by the new ‘Blackout’ LeBron V2 Low. This triple black colorway is one of the ones we can expect to see on nearly every Nike LeBron signature release and these live up to the legacy laid before them, details like the tongue lion insignia exemplifying the deceptively rich array of dark tones in play. Click through to see more angles and grab a pair today from Nike Basketball retailers like Finish Line.
