Supra issued a three shoe pack?! Alert the media! Oh wait, that’s us, and we have indeed noticed a sharp increase in the tendency for the crown brand to drop three new kicks at the same time, all with the same construction and colors. The latest is unique for its use of a waxed twill material on the upper of three black models, the Supra Skytop, Society Mid and Wrap all employing white soles and tongue branding for the simplest of contrasts. These are infinitely versatile and in stores now at Supra retailers including their own e-store.

Over the past couple of decades, the big names in the sneaker industry have been forced to pay attention to the rising popularity of a host of action sports. Fast forward to 2011, and while the BMX’ers and skateboarders have gotten their fair share of love, snowboarding has yet to really cross-breed with the world of sneaker heads. Well, adidas may be looking to change that with their Burton x adidas Originals collection, a line of sneakers and gear set to release for the Fall/Winter season. We’ve got a look here at the three pairs included in the capsule, all of which stick to earthy tones and durable materials to have you looking right on the mountain. Continue reading for an up-close look at all three and let us know if you will be picking any of these new adidas up.

What’s that you say? You absolutely must have another Asics Gel Lyte III styled after rugged boots, but they cannot be the same as the black pair that we previewed a short while back? Sometimes it’s good to have exacting tastes, and with this new beige GLIII, we do indeed see a boot influence in a novel color. But because of the fact that pretty much every brand has done both hiking and work boot sneakers by this point, the uniqueness here is a reflection of the fact that it’s actually quite uncommon to see any kind of boot in this particular shade of leather. But the fact that you can tell based on the laces what these are supposed to be right off the bat, even if you’ve never seen something exactly like them before suggests Asics earns an A for this simulacra. Click through to see more angles and look for these in stores soon. via mita.

The adidas Top Ten Hi has been called the ‘Skywalker’ in recent years as part of the Star Wars capsule but in their latest collaboration, the Brand With the Three Stripes is getting back in touch with the silhouette’s basketball roots. Undefeated’s adidas Originals Top Ten Hi ‘B-Sides’ applies a two-toned pebbled leather to the upper with black leather accents matching the pebbles’ peaks while the golden sockliner echoes the valleys between and ‘beneath’ them. Click through to get a better view of this uniquely finished model including a look at its icey translucent sole and expect these at the UNDFTD chapter stores on Saturday, August 20th.

With original All Conditions Gear models like the Lava Dome and Air Magma getting their fair share of retro releases, are there some other ACG models that have been overlooked along the way? It’s such a leading question that it wouldn’t fly in court, so surely by now you’ve picked up on the fact we’re discussing that very thing. The Nike ACG Pocketknife is a rarely seen neoprene-socked trail runner that boldly carries the label’s rebellious style with a crazy orange and blue zebra/camo print. These were a sample for summer 2009 so they’re almost definitely never making it to retail, but you could pick up a gently used US mens size 9 pair from dballaholic on eBay.

How much is a pair of Air Jordans autographed by Michael himself worth? A quick glance at eBay reveals a signed Air Jordan XI at about $1400 with the last two furious hours of bidding to go, so using that as a baseline, it’s pretty clear that the dude who put this set together has quite a bit of free cash, or maybe it’s “did have.” Not only do we see models like the ‘Space Jam’ XIs but also extreme rarities like classic (likely 1999-era) Air Jordan IVs with ‘NIKE AIR’ on the heels in BOTH black AND white! These and a few more can be seen in detailed images after the jump, so click through to see them all and let us know which pair you’d take given the chance. via Kenlu

You might remember a younger Diggy Simmons from the MTV reality television program ‘Run’s House’, but he certainly has grown up since then. He’s got his hands dipped in the footwear game as the head of Chiv Culture, but that doesn’t mean he can deviate from his own route and rock a pair of Jordans. We’ve spotted him in True Blue IIIs before, but more recently, he was wearing the Air Jordan V Black/Metallic Silver while being a guest on 106 & Park. Check out the rest of the gallery of Diggy Simmons and his kicks below and let us know if you think Diggy has the talent to live up to his father’s name!

And you thought Nike Air was just something you wear on your feet? While we already knew that the bigwigs over in Beaverton weren’t exactly flying coach, the Nike Air Hangar is a whole new level of business travel. Yep, this 40,000 square foot facility out in Oregon has three G5′s sitting in the hangar but that’s not all. Also featuring a gourmet kitchen, exercise rooms, and a full on lounge-it’s safe to say that guys like Tinker Hatfield may never have to step foot in a regular airport again.
Speaking of Tinker, the Portland based architecture firm TVA designed this one of a kind space, and has had a hand in designing many of the sports centers on campus at the University of Oregon-Tinker’s alma mater. In fact, the two recently collaborated via the TVA designed Matthew Knight Arena, where Tinker came up with the plans for the unique on court design. Continue reading to get an in-depth look at this must see addition to Nike’s corporate repertoire. And what’s the best thing of all about the Nike Air Hangar? You don’t have to worry about those TSA agents messing up your sneakers. via ArchDaily.

While basketball began as a distinctly American sport, the advent of the NBA and the colossal stars that it produces has propelled it to a global stage. It would be hard to argue that LeBron James is anything but center-stage in that regard, and the man is making the most of it, taking his talents to South Beach China to promote the sport and give some game to the youth. During his tour, LeBron has hosted clinics for a varying degree of age levels, often switching between roles as coach and player. Whilst traveling, he also made a stop in at the local Nike Store in downtown Shanghai to discuss his new Asia-Pacific exlcusive sneaker, the Nike LeBron Ambassador IV.
LeBron’s travels throughout China are culminating this week in the Nike Festival of Sport, a four day experience set in Shanghai featuring other big names from the Nike roster like Liu Xiang and Paul Rodriguez. This event will be composed of endless activities in basketball,football,tennis, and skateboarding, all with the aim of boosting interest and skill in these realms throughout China. From tournaments to meet and greet sessions with these top athletes, the Nike Festival of Sport is poised to be a memorable event. Continue reading for a photo recap of LeBron’s China tour and a look at what’s going on right now at the Nike Festival of Sport.

Better late than never, right? Kevin Durant wrapped up his second consecutive NBA Scoring Title by racking up 27.2 points per game, and he debuted a sick new PE colorway of his signature Nike Zoom KD III during the 2011 Western Conference Finals. While the trending topic in the KD circles is the Nike Zoom KD IV - a sneaker that Durant himself wore during a workout with Joe Johnson – many stateside sneakerheads have been patiently awaiting the arrival of the Scoring Title PEs. Some of you may have forgotten, so here’s a nice reminder for ya: the Nike Zoom KD III will hit NikeTown locations this Saturday, August 20th. According to Nikestore, only NikeTown locations in New York City, Chicago, and Las Vegas will be receiving them. Stick with Sneaker News for more updates regarding a possible wider release, and if you want to guarantee yourself a pair, grab one of the few pairs available online from mingssneakers on eBay.
