When someone asks for whiteout, you could reasonably assume they’ve just made a mistake, but not Nike Sportswear. Apparently, with NSW, whiteout is synonymous with getting things absolutely perfectly right, as in the case of this new Nike Air Force 1 Low VT Premium. These new Vac-Tech Uptowns offer an updated take on the classic white-on-white AF1s, their molded leather bodies and white soles offering an even cleaner look than what’s become one of the single most popular colorway/model combos in sneaker history. Click through to see more angles of this Air Force 1 Low VT Quickstrike and pick up a pair from Kicks-crew.

With the resale prices of the Air Jordan XIII Ray Allen PE steadily on the rise, you could end up buying yourself an actual non-released PE with that dough. We recently showed you an Air Jordan V PE that Ray Allen wore during his days as a Seattle Sonic (technically, he was never a Supersonic), but here’s a look at another sick Ray Allen exclusive in the form of the Air Jordan XIV; it features a similar White/Green colorway (like the one that actually dropped in 2005), but this version doesn’t featuring the stitched upper, but instead a luxurious tumbled leather. These also feature a grey inner lining and tongue, and Ray’s PE stitched on the medial ankle of the shoe. If the Air Jordan XIV was ever selected to be part of the Jordan Brand Bin23 Collection, would a premium leather upper Air Jordan XIV, sans-stitching), appeal to you? Check out more images of Ray Allen’s PE after the jump and head to osneaker because they’ve got a size 14 available.

There were all-around good vibes when we all caught a first look at the Entourage x Nike SB Dunk Low, but the looming ‘Friends and Family’ tag brought a dark cloud over what could have been one of the best SB Dunk releases in recent memory (by recent, we mean the last four years). Reports that followed included information about HBO not allowing a release to happen due to the sneaker featuring the show’s official branding, and based on the history of previous SB Dunks, it didn’t appear that a release would happen. Then rumors started to fly regarding a possibly August Quickstrike or a special release on 11/11/11, but Brooklyn Projects, a reputable source of Nike SB information, recently mentioned that the Entourage x Nike SB Dunk Low would in fact release this October as an in-store Quickstrike. Should we expect something different (for example, no Entourage branding)? Let us know if you’re excited about a possible release, and in case that information gets recanted, grab a pair now from neo122401 on eBay.

After a couple of months of absolute silence, Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design label has sprung up out of nowhere to reveal two new collaborations with Nike Sportswear in two days. Make that three, now, as we have the first images to share with you depicting the upcoming fragment design x Nike Zoom All Court 2. They’re something like the opposite of fragment’s Supreme collabo, their simple indigo, white and black uppers secured with white stitching and riding a white vulc sole. In fact, all the typical branding including side panel Swooshes has been removed in favor of a Levi’s-style tag, so it’ll be interesting to see which kinds of sneakerheads pick each version. Click through to see more of the fragment design All Court Highs and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via Tenisfuki

If you were unable to pick-up a pair of the Air Jordan XIII designed for NBA Champion and All-time 3-point leader Ray Allen, you can still cop these Air Jordan XIII PEs made for former NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion and current overseas baller Fred Jones. Sure, the pedigree’s don’t match, but Jones is a mere 2,267 NBA three-pointers away from breaking Ray Allen’s record. Back in 2005, Fred was given these Air Jordan XIII PEs to wear during a season which was, coincidentally, his best statistical season as an NBA player. Jones was an Indiana Pacer back then, which shows in the White/Yellow/Navy colorway, and this particular pair is not only autographed, but game-worn as well. Check out the extra images of the Air Jordan XIII Fred Jones PE and check out the asking price from eme490 on eBay.

The Jordan Brand followers have spoken! @M1KE428 has been crowned champion of the Jordan Brand #Follow23 Contest, earning him a pair of the Air Jordan 2011 Q Flight #Follow23 as well as recognition among Jordan Brand followers. The mission was simple, but not easy; @M1KE428 recreated the iconic Jumpman logo (quite accurately) while wearing the Air Jordan XI Cool Grey and using the gorgeous blue sky as his scenic backdrop. Do you think he’s a deserving winner? He certainly took the effort to create one his favorite MJ moments, and the results were great! Congratulations to @M1KE428 and all of the contestants.

The Air Jordan V in Black/Metallic Silver was remastered earlier this year as part of the Jordan Brand Bin23 Collection, which features some of the best Air Jordans ever reconstructed in premium fashion. Despite being the most ‘available’ Air Jordan Premio, the Air Jordan V Premio demands the highest dollars on the sneaker market because the sneaker and colorway itself holds a ton of sentimental value. For those who missed out on the Air Jordan V Premio, the Air Jordan V Black/Metallic Silver will arrive in stores this August 20th in the states. However, UK retailer FootPatrol is reporting an earlier release date of August 6th while other Euro spots have reported an 8/19 drop, so for our readers across the ocean, expect these to hit Jordan Brand retailers on your side as early as next Saturday and not until August 20th here in the States. Are these a must-have for you? Let us know if you plan on copping these when they release, and if you want to snag ‘em earlier, get a pair now on eBay.

The United States reigns supreme as the undisputed sneakerhead capital of the world, and while nations like Japan are given mucho street cred for obvious reasons, our neighbors to the north haven’t exactly been slacking on their sneaker steez either. Ottawa’s NRML has been going strong for fifteen years now, and in celebration of a decade and a half in the game, they authored an ultra-limited collaboration with Nike Sportswear. The NRML x Nike Dunk High Premium and Air Max 90 are both limited to an insane 16 pairs, five of each will be given away during contests and drawings at NRML’s 15th anniversary party Saturday, July 30th. Click through to get a better view of these kicks and the corresponding tees for each pair and let us know if you’ll use your passport to try and get a pair.

We continue with Air Jordan samples galore with a look at this unreleased Air Jordan IX Low. These were spotted on the feet of Jordan Brand employee Josiah_Lake, who just one week ago flaunted an unreleased, pair of Air Jordan V Low samples. This Air Jordan IX sample, which Lake describes as ‘Bull Red’, features a white leather upper with red patent leather on the mudguard, similar to the tonal White and ‘Pearl Blue’ Air Jordan IX Lows that released roughly one decade ago. Will Josiah break out a new Air Jordan sample every Friday? Let’s hope he’s got some more gems in his sneaker closet. If you want to show off your kicks, head on over to Sneaker News Blogs: WDYWT and let’s see if you’ve got something that can beat Josiah’s Air Jordan IX samples!
