The Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4 was never a shoe that people picked up just to stunt in. The buzz on this one wasn’t built on hyped up colorways or exclusive releases, this shoe relied on on-court performance to make a name for itself. Originally slated as the first Kobe signature (a plan that was derailed by a certain blemish on his public image), this sneaker brought the Huarache technology to a new generation of athletes and remains a highpoint of design for Nike over the past decade. After this year’s iD treatment, Nike will be bringing them out of the vaults come Summer 2012, in a gang of new colorways with construction that hopefully remains true to the OG’s. Check out the full pictures after the jump and let us know if you’re excited for this upcoming release. via CK

Nike has been bringing quickstrike packs to their runners for a minute now, earlier this year we saw the both theFree Run+ 2 and the Nike LunarGlide+ 2 get City Packs. Looking for the hat trick, Nike is going in again with a collection based on metropolitan centers. We already gave you previews of both the NYC and Berlin versions of the Nike LunarGlide 3 and we’re back now with a detailed look at the whole capsule. This one leans a little US heavy with 3 out of the 5 cities represented being American. Hit the jump for full images of each of the sneakers include in the City Pack as well as background info on the collaborating artists. Keep your eyes out for these at Nike retailers near you.

Tons of Duckboot and VacTech heat to keep Air Force 1 fans for the rest of the year, but what about just a good old fashioned pair of Uptowns? Check out this new high contrast Nike Air Force 1 Low, a shoe whose stark design draws extra attention upon the tumbled Anthracite leather that makes up this model’s overlay. It’s just a shade lighter than the black that comes in on the Swoosh, laces and lining, which leaves the rest to white in a design you can tell isn’t exactly a ‘panda’, and yet that’s what hooks you in. A deceptively subtle AF1 Low, this new pair just hit retailers like Oneness and you can grab one right now on eBay.

The lion’s share of the Nike Air Max+ 2011 colorways we’ve seen to date have a decent degree of contrast to them, whether it be via the side Swoosh or a colorful outsole. Here’s something a bit different, a tonal design for the latest in the Air Max legacy that blends in the recently popular total orange with the so called “max orange”. The result really glows, with the sneaker bursting with color all the way down to the 360 Max Air sole. Check out the full pics after the jump and grab this colorway of the Nike Air Max+ 2011 from NikeStore.

Can you feel the crisp and cool autumn air? As the colors of the leaves change over time, so do the colors of our kicks. Throw aside the white-on-whites and check out these new Nike Air Force 1 Highs in a Deep Burgundy; the white swoosh and AIR on the midsole offer just the perfect amount of contrast (when it comes to two-toned kicks, how can you possibly go wrong), and the gum outsole completes the fall-weather visual appeal perfectly. If you’ve got these in your sights, be sure to check out your local Nike Sportswear purveyor, or secure your pair right now from Chi-Town’s finest LEADERS or from 95soleman on eBay.

What if Michael followed his ex-teammate Horace Grant and joined the Orlando Magic? That would’ve been extremely unlikely, but for the Spring 2012 season, Jordan Brand will release this new Air Jordan X Retro colorway of White/Old Royal-Stealth that has quite the Orlando Magic undertone to it. You might remember that Orlando was part of the original ‘City Series’ of the Air Jordan X – the White/Black/Royal colorway. We can already envision Gilbert Arenas and Quentin Richardson preparing to rock these once they drop, but given the current state of the NBA lockout, who knows what might happen. Getting back on topic, this Air Jordan X Retro also features the ’23′ stitched on the upper ankle of the shoe, and like the OG City Series version, these catalog shots don’t reveal the plaid pattern on the inner lining (again, these are catalog shots and may not be the final product). Are these a must have for you? Expect these on February 11th in all sizes, with the men’s version coming in with a $160 price-tag. via SC.

Todd Bratrud has once again put his lighter up to a new Nike SB Dunk High collaboration, and the result is as smooth and satisfying as anything we’ve seen from Swoosh Skateboarding all year. The Skatepark of Tampa-connected Dunk High SB ‘Cigar’ takes its inspiration from the Ybor City section of town famous for its production of fine tobacco products, though we can’t help but wonder if anything quite as nice as this specially-packaged pair of SB Dunks was ever created there. The suede on these is just top-notch, and paired with a dope tobacco-textured side panel to finish off the deluxe feel. These are sure to fly off shelves wherever they’re stocked, so be prepared when they hit Nike SB retailers like Michigan’s Premier starting tomorrow at noon local time.

The well-respected and oft-poignant sneaker aggregate known as Crooked Tongues has teamed up with suede-and-mesh masters New Balance for a sick duet of New Balance M1500s. Going against the grain of typicall sneaker teasers and previews, Crooked Tongues has decided to show the entire shoe – in deconstructed form. Two colorways of the Crooked Tongues x New Balance M1500 will drop in mid-October – an Orange/Black/Grey variety and a Moss Green/Hunter green join; although we a get a complete look at a colorway on a sneaker model we are all familiar with, somehow the tension and anticipation mounts up. Check out both colorways below and stick with Sneaker News for more information as it develops.

Michael Jordan’s passions outside of the game of the basketball are reflected in each and every Air Jordan design. For example, the Air Jordan XVII was designed after Michael’s passion for jazz music, as seen on the musical notes used to inspire the design on the upper, and golf, which can be seen on the outsole traction of the sneaker, which mirrors a golf course. Golf has been one of Michael’s favorite recreational hobbies after he officially retired from the NBA, and he certainly goes through holes one through eighteen in style, with this custom Air Jordan golf bag that features his six NBA Championships rings stitched proudly on the side. We also have a look at another custom golf bag, which features Air Jordans all around. Definitely one of the cooler bits of Air Jordan goodies, so take a look below and let us know what you think. via TerezOwens.
