Cool Grey, Wolf Grey, Stealth and of course, Cement; Jordan Brand has been killing it with grey sneakers of all shades and shapes this year. Their latest effort is a stealthy take on the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Low, a model whose uni-colored upper and white accents mean they’re about as vertsatile as you can possibly get. You could easily wear these with any color pants or shorts, even more grey, and the sheer wearability will likely result in sneakerheads picking up a pair of these for everyday use. Click through to see some more angles and grab your ‘Stealth’ Alpha 1 Lows from FinishLine.

Although this sneaker does come in a ‘Stealth’ colorway, we’ve never seen an Air Jordan III retro fly under the radar. Taking a look back at the various Air Jordan III models released this year alone, each has sold out with the quickness and we’d be surprised if this one didn’t follow suit. The Air Jordan III ‘Stealth’ comes off looking like a mash-up between the Cool Grey and Black/Cement editions of the same sneaker, mixing the best of both worlds to come out with a brand new look. These are just around the corner with a September 3rd release date, so be on the lookout for them at your local Jordan Brand retailer or grab a pair right now on eBay.

Oil is perhaps the least ‘green’ of all substances, and though most environmentalists agree it’s time to reduce hydrocarbon emissions, here’s proof that the two can be blended for a lovely result. The analogy could be extended even further were the Oil Green Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid pictured above a hybrid design, and though they’re not strictly defined as such, this series certainly did bring together seemingly disparate worlds when it slapped a boat shoe upper on a skateboarding sneaker’s vulcanized sole. Click through to see more angles of this green canvas Janoski Mid SB and look for these at select retailers like Premier.

Prayers were finally answered when Nike Sportswear made the decision to re-issue the Nike Air Trainer SC II High, but patience was tested as the original and most popular colorways would not release until September. It’s something worth waiting for, and the anticipation certainly has been mounting now thatw the release of the OG colorways is just a few days away. For the younger sneakerheads who might not have been alive during the time of the release, here’s another look at the two heaters that have caused all this excitement; the White/Grey/Teal/Neon and the White/Grey/Infrared is representative of all the crazy combination of colors thought up Nike during that time, and even twenty years after its original release, the Air Trainer SC II High in its OG form is still in high regard. You can expect these to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers on September 2nd, but head to Sneakerhead to cop either pair early.

There’s nothing like Letterman and Leno in the sneaker world (*yet), so when Jeremy Scott went out to garner some attention in the press, for his upcoming adidas Originals by Originals footwear collection, Three Stripes’ boldest collaborator sat down to speak with influential magazines like Sneaker Freaker and Complex.  The latter of those has a J.Scott feature today that includes some of the designer’s innermost thoughts and gives the reader a sense of what’s going on inside this guy’s mind when he’s coming up with the craziest kicks this side of–wait a second; is it possible Jeremy Scott’s are the most insane sneaker designs of all time?  Click through to see a small sampling of what he’s been up to over the past couple years and head over to Complex to see more plus the full interview.

Back in 2006, Mighty Crown collaborated with Nike Sportswear on the Nike Dunk High, creating a regal colorway of brown tones using their signature crown logo on the upper. It features just two basic materials (a soft nubuck and a shiny patent leather), but for 2011, they’ve taken the Dunk High to the very brink of customization. The asymmetrical material blocking on the upper adds a unique contrast to the tonal-black shoe, and you certainly need all fingers to count the number of different materials that make up the shoe. Elephant print, matte croc skin, glossy snake skin, ostrich skin, distressed suede, *catches breath* woodgrain, suede, smooth leather – the list goes on. Continue reading for a detailed look at the Mighty Crown x Nike Dunk High Premium and let us know what you think of this sick collaboration. via air-randyhk.

They’ve been the two most significant Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low colorways we’ve seen in the wake of the initial ‘Sprite’ edition, but what if the ‘Solar Red’ and ‘Miami Nights’ were a single pair?  That probably has you picturing the latter’s crazy splatter-printed upper with some element from the Solar Reds, but if you were to go for roughly the opposite, you’d end up with something like what’s pictured above.  These Solar Red LeBron 8 V/2 Lows add a matching full-length Max Air cushion and outsole for an even redder final product; did Nike Basketball make the right choice in swapping these for the released black bottoms?  Click through to see more angles and leave a comment to let us know which design you like best.  via FeetsMalone

The Air Jordan VIII will be next in line in the Jordan Brand ‘point-zero’ series, in which original Air Jordan models are re-thrust into the sneaker scene with completely retooled and refinished uppers. Just yesterday Sneaker News showed you a White/Blue/Grey colorway that garnered quite the response from our readers, and we don’t expect much different for this new edition of White/Red/Grey. Some of the prominent Air Jordan VIII features return, like the crossing in-step straps and the graffiti-like print on the midsole, but what’s new is the Flywire-stabilized upper and revised midsole construction. While we only have a lateral shot of this shoe, one could imagine the medial side to feature some sort of Hyperfuse-like material (if the earlier catalog shots are of any indication) for added ventilation, which was one of the primary issues with the Air Jordan VIII. Somewhere, Bugs Bunny is munching his carrots in acceptance or dissatisfaction, but what do you think? Chime in below and expect the Air Jordan 8.0 to arrive later this year. via villa.

Having seen their collaboration with Supreme yesterday, let’s take some time today to examine the fragment design x Nike All Court Low.  Perhaps we should be more specific about that given that there are four different sets of All Courts coming from Hiroshi Fujiwara’s label in the next few months, the above pictured pair of All Court 2s perhaps the standout of the entire bunch.  These joints manage a level of craziness beyond the other two leopard print pairs thanks to the use of pink and white spots on a purple background.  A leather sockliner and Zoom Air heel cushion means these also offer premium comfort in addition to the neckbreaking good looks, and you can see more angles when you click on the jump below.  via AmPm

Last year’s Nike Air Diamond Turf Retros provided a nice change of scenery for the Air Jordan dominated year, and it didn’t hurt that we received three original colorways of the 90′s Trainer. Although Deion Sanders isn’t tied with Nike anymore (thus the change in logos), the Diamond Turf is still Nike property, and in 2011 Nike doesn’t have plans of stopping the ADT retro – that is, until The Diamond Turf II arrives. Here’s a look at a new colorway this is almost a ‘reverse’ edition of the OG ’49ers’ colorway; it features a remixed red/black/white upper that we’re certain will appeal to Niners or even Cincinnati Reds fans (remember Deion was also a multi-sport star!). Check out the extra images below and let us know what you think of this new colorway, and look out for these at Nike retailers now because some stores have begun to stock them! via LTD-Online.
