If there’s one material that just looks right on a Nike SB Blazer High, it’s suede. Something about that high-top silhouette that first hit as a basketball sneaker in the 70′s calls for the smoothed out nap of a suede upper. If you need any proof, check out the above Blazer that Nike SB just dropped, coming in the serene ‘rift blue’ broken up by a black leather swoosh across the side. The white vulcanized midsole pops quite a bit, and this pair even comes with a back up set of white laces if you want to switch out the stock blues to up the contrast. Follow us after the jump to get a detailed look at this Nike SB Blazer High, and grab them now from Premier.

If you see these and feel like they’re the first camouflaged Supra Skytops ever released . . . how can we put this nicely? Well, we still love you, but you’re wrong. Don’t take it too hard, though, because the first and only other camo Skytops were released all the way back in January of 2008 when Supra and their groundbreaking aesthetics were barely a blip on the sneaker scene’s radar. And as for detecting things in the nearby surroundings, these classically styled four-tone camo canvas hightops are sure not to blend in, especially if you can find a way to make that blaze orange tongue lining show through. Click through for a list of the select few Supra retailers who’ll have a portion of the 413-pair limited run and let us know how these rank among the autumn’s best seasonal looks.

All of us have been through the release date jitters on the eve of a big shoe drop. Website crashes and huge lines have long been the biggest fears for sneakerheads when a major release is on the horizon. It’s safe to say that the Black/Cement Air Jordan III will be one of those releases, with this shoe and this particular colorway consistently showing up on lists of greatest all time sneakers. With the anticipation growing day by day, one of the only surefire ways to lock down a pair is via preorder (or throw your name in the hat for the free pair we are giving away). Fortunately for our readers, Warpedstore out in Singapore offers just that service. You can head over there to secure you pair and be sure to check out some more images of these beauties after the jump. And if you really can’t wait, there are also a few early pairs floating around now on eBay.

Generally speaking, a sneaker has to age quite a bite before the designers take it back to the drawing board for updates. Such is not the case with the Nike Lunar Edge 12, a trainer that debuted this summer and is already being re-released with some weather-conscious augmentations. The mesh upper from the previous iteration has been replaced with reinforced textile, a necessary measure against the lower temperatures that are ahead. The lateral support system on the sneaker has been beefed up a bit as well, although the sleek silhouette is intact. Get a full look at this new sneaker from the Nike Lunar line after the jump and hit up Nikestore to get your pair.

This summer’s All Court offerings from Nike Sportswear were dominated by news of several fragment design collaborations, but here’s proof NSW can still do a bangup job on their own. The Nike All Court Twist will return for the holiday season in a rich Team Red suede design that’s so nappy, the upper appears to seamlessly blend with the chenille sockliner. An Oxen Brown toecap and leather heel badge give these a warmer feeling and push these back toward a more versatile everyday look, but can a bold red suede sneaker ever really pass under the radar? Certainly not out on the streets, though these do have ‘sleeper potential’ written all over them, and you can see more angles by clicking on the jump below. via atmos

Complex.com has done two recent lists that prominently featured Grant Hill’s mid ’90s Fila signature series. The first was just a ranking of Hill’s best kicks, but when we looked at The 90 Greatest Sneakers of the ’90s, it became even more apparent that aside from his greatest hits, we’ve not seen the Italian-turned-Korean company retro many of its best from that decade. There have indeed been a few Asia-exclusive M Squad collabo drops, but the 2012 return of The Cage is a welcome addition, as is this new lowtop based on its classic lines. The Fila Cage Runner ends up looking not too terribly much like the ’93 OGs upon which they’re based, the missing/softened cage belying the fact that these are otherwise a pretty good representation of The Cage in lowtop form. Check out these two upcoming colorways and let us know if you think Fila will ever again reach the peak of their mid-’90s popularity. via SF

The Nike SB Blazer Low is a model that too often gets overshadowed by its big brother, the Nike SB Blazer High. Sure the high version may be the OG cut of the shoe, but you’re sleeping if you’re turning a blind eye to the solid, toned down releases of the Nike SB Blazer Low that we’ve seen this year. Along those lines comes another quiet colorway that is perfect to rock in the fall, with a rich team brown suede on the upper paired with birch on the swoosh. Get the full look after the jump and head over to Premier to get your pair.

In 1995, Nike released a special ‘City Series’ of the Air Jordan X, representing Chicago, New York, Sacramento, Seattle, and Orlando in five city-specific colorways (the Powder Blue, while resembling the Charlotte Hornets, is not an official part of the pack). While the release of each special colorway wasn’t limited to each respective city (some sneaker retailers at that time received all give colorways), the Air Jordan X ‘City Series’ proved to be one of earlier ‘limited’ releases of Air Jordans, which is why the upcoming ‘Chicago’ Retro in 2012 is so highly anticipated. Again, one such member of this pack was Seattle, which featured a basic White/Black colorway with green accents on the inner lining and the detailing with a yellow Jumpman on the heel of the outsole. Any member of the City Series demands a lot of attention and even more dollars, but we consider the asking price for these deadstock gems to be rather fair! Interesting the price? Check out the auction from Tokyo-based seller gustodaninja on eBay.

ATL-based hip-hop artist T.I. was the guest of honor at a special event in Los Angeles, hosted by the AKOO clothing label and Ciroc. T.I. arrived at the event representing his Southern city pride, rocking an Atlanta Braves fitted cap, closely matching it with a crisp pair of the Air Jordan III Retro in the White/Cement Grey colorway. If you’re a child of the 2000′s hip-hop, chances are you know one of his club hits by heart, but rest assured that he’s still on his game because he was nominated for not one, but two Grammy awards last year. What’s in store for T.I. now that he’s back on the grind? More music? More films? Check out T.I. and his kicks below and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet updates!

Can you believe that Kobe Bryant would now be entering his sixteenth NBA season? What’s even more incredible is that he’s still an elite player, with some experts making the case that the Black Mamba should be in the Top 5 of the controversial ESPN #NBArank list (he was placed at #7, behind LeBron, Howard, Wade, Nowitzki, Durant, and CP3). The hard truth is that Kobe’s elite status is beyond its peak, but don’t think for a bit that teams wouldn’t build around the 33-year-old five-time NBA champion. For his seventh signature shoe, Nike Basketball will introduce something completely new for the Nike Zoom Kobe line – three separate installements! We detailed the base Kobe VII earlier today, but here’s a detailed look at the Nike Zoom Kobe VII Supreme; it features the removable insole with a ‘Play Strong’ support, which features an attached ankle sleeve, giving the Kobe VII Supreme a tongue-less construction. The Kobe VII Supreme retails at $180, higher than the Nike LeBron 9; does that make the Supreme the best that Nike Basketball has to offer? A detailed viewing of the upcoming Kobe VII awaits you below, so give it a good look and let us know your thoughts below. via hoopchina.
