Plenty of skateshops have designed sneakers for Nike SB, but that number for skate parks is fewer and further between, just a few notable spots around the country ever getting a chance to contribute to a special release like the one pictured above. Todd Bratrud’s latest Nike SB Dunk High is nicknamed ‘SPoT’ for its affiliation with Skatepark of Tampa, and to further their connection with Bratrud’s hobby of inhaling burning organic matter, this cigar-themed Dunk High SB will come in a flip-top similar to those you might see at a cashier’s stand. They also have tearaway material on the upper like Bratrud’s ‘Cheech and Chong’ Dunks from earlier this year, though presumably more earthiness will emanate from the scuffs instead of green. Click through to see more of the box and insole designs and stick with Sneaker News for the SPoT Dunk SB release date. via N-SB

Although we’ve already made the transition to the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011, last year’s Hyperdunk flagship still made noise in 2011 thanks to a look at the unreleased ‘McFly’ colorway. The original Nike Hyperdunk was in fact inspired by the fictional Nike Mag that was featured in the classic Back To The Future film franchise, and so the ‘McFly’ version of the Hyperdunk was born and became one of the most coveted sneakers in recent years. Unfortunately, likely due to legal issues and similar to the scrapped ‘McFly’ Hypermax from 2009, no release of the Hyperdunk 2010 version is likely at this point, but if you’ve been wanting to cop a pair of the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 McFly, you’re in luck, because one of the rare size 9 samples just became available for sale. We’ve got additional images for you after the jump so take a look and scoop up this sample pair from jonli418 on eBay.

The Air Jordan XIV ‘Last Shot’ is a sneaker that holds special significance thanks to that immortal moment that the sneaker gets its name from. Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, Bulls down by one point, 16 seconds left, Michael Jordan with the ball…and you know the rest. The last time these were retroed was back in 2005, but fortunately that wasn’t your “last shot” at getting them, because they will be hitting Jordan Brand retailers for another go around this holiday season. Continue reading for a more in depth look at the retro beauty of this Ferrari-inspired Tinker Hatfield design, and stick with us for the December release. via In52

It came and went as part of the Holiday 2009 ‘Matagi Pack’ Quickstrikes, and we haven’t seen the Nike Air Baked Mid since. That initial release was quite fuzzy with its sherpa lining, but here’s proof the silhouette is verstaile enough to adapt to another outdoorsy look. The Air Baked Mid Motion for women comes in a colorway plenty of dudes could get down with as well, an earthy camo printed upper that adds bright blue laces for a more lifestyle-friendly look. Click through to see more of one of the most unique sneakers you’ll see in the remainder of 2011 and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via atmos

Although the Summer is rapidly coming to a close, it is still t-shirt and shorts weather and Jordan Brand’s latest drop of shirts reflects that. Included among these t-shirts are the Jordan Technicolour T-Shirt and Jordan Six Rings T-Shirt which emphasizes the famous pose made during the 1998 NBA Finals via large foam fingers like those sold at sporting events. Rounding out the collection of shirts are the Jordan Flight T-Shirt and the ‘Wings’ logo shirt which also got the technicolour treatment. Check out the additional t-shirts after the jump and let us know what you think, and look for these at Jordan Brand retailers because they’ve been spotted at Nike Harajuku.

We just saw a white and khaki Air Half Cent sample from Nike Sportswear, and though it’s a recent model, the 1/2 Cent is based on classic Swoosh designs from the mid ’90s. It turns out that this clean-as-can-be combo also looks great on hoop shoes from even longer ago, as evidenced by this new adidas Originals
Conductor Hi. The white/beige Conductors are joined by a black and blue colorway not all too dissimilar from the Binary Blue Zoom Rookie, so you can have the best of both worlds with a soft summery pair along with a much darker design. Click through to see more details on both pairs and look for them at select Three Stripes retailers like CrookedTongues.
