We’re happy to say that it looks like the Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay is here to stay for the Fall/Winter season. This flashy boot with the sole of a runner does the hybrid thing correctly, with the lightweight LunarLon addition looking right under the tough ACG upper of the shoe. A typical theme for the Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay is an earthy upper paired with a bit of flash in the lacing system, but this colorway takes it a bit further-giving the upper a lighter overall look for a unified feel. These are starting to pop up overseas at spots like Mita, but stick with Sneaker News for info on a pending US release date. Full pics after the jump.

One thing is for certain for 2012: Lot’s of Ken Griffey Jr. signatures. The Nike Air Total Griffey Max ’99 has already been confirmed for 2012, but we’ve yet to see a detailed look of the upcoming Retro until now, as it surfaces in an all-new Grey/Royal/Volt colorway. The upper features Dark Grey nubuck with electrifying Volt accents on the inner lining, swoosh, outsole, and Max Air unit, with Varsity Royal providing a nice cool contrast on the tongue tab and the ‘tidal wave’ on the heel section of the shoe. Continue reading to see these Air Total Griffey Max ’99s for yourself and be sure to keep in tune with Sneaker News for more Nike Retro updates. via kumastock.

Who said a Nike Air Max 90 colorway has to be bright to be dope? Sure, fan favorites like the Infrareds and Laser Blues will always be classics, but don’t underestimate the strength of a more muted look on this beloved runner. In that category the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Ocean Fog’ is the best we’ve seen in a minute, with the deep mixture of blues coming correct on the mesh and suede sections. After that a bit of white shows up to keep this one from being too gloomy. Get a full look at this pair after the jump and order them now from Premier.

Derrick Rose’s signature releases have always bared a distinct resemblance colorway wise to those of a certain other MVP from the Wind City. Sneakerheads shouldn’t cry foul though, as a Bull’s representative you can’t expect adidas’ rising star to not rock the classic black/red/white combo on the regular. Showing off the adidas adiRose 2′s ability to switch it up here is the ‘Triple Black’ edition, looking pretty much how you would expect with a name like that. This lights out colorway looks particularly mean on the sleek new silhouette of Derrick Rose’s latest lighweight model. Get the full view after the jump and be on the lookout for them on November 10th from adidas.

Check out this sample of the Carmine VI made for Shaquille O’neal. But seriously, remember that Air Jordan VI sculpture we showed you at the end of August? Here’s a look at the completed project, painted perfectly to resemble the Air Jordan VI ‘Carmine’. This sculpture was done by an artist who goes by the name Mr Loverman El Hedonista (by far one of the coolest artist handles we’ve ever come across), who decided to show off his sick artwork by displaying it next to an actual pair of the Air Jordan VI ‘Carmine’, on the roof of a red car, and a woman who we presume to be the future Mrs. Loverman El Hedonista. Check out the gallery of images below and let us know what you think!

It’s impossible to figure out the number of Nike iD custom creations since iD was first introduced in 2006. It wasn’t until 2009 when the first Nike Basketball signature shoe became available for customization (the Nike Zoom Kobe IV – remember the commercial with Mike Epps and DJ AM?). Following the Zoom Kobe IV was the V and VI installments, and even earlier this year, Kevin Durant’s signature KD III became available. In what might be considered six years in the making, the Nike LeBron signature line has finally entered the Nike iD fray; the Nike LeBron 9, which just released world-wide in the Black/Red colorway, is now available for customization, rolled out with a limited-edition color-palette. So what can you do with these introductory colors? How about South Beach, SVSM, or even a ‘Defining Moments Package’ colorway. The first wave of LeBron 9 iDs are available right now so hopefully you have your iDeas in place because these will go fast!

It’s clear that fashion sense for NBA players have gone from baggy and ‘hood’ (Exhibit: Allen Iverson) to fitted and dapper (Exhibit: Everyone else in the NBA), but clearly, wearing Air Jordans with thousand dollar suits is still an acceptable mode of dress. Dwyane Wade and beau Gabrielle Union attended the special event honoring model Iman and design house Missoni in Beverly Hills, CA; Wade matched his Black/Cement IIIs – a sneaker he noted as his favorite Air Jordans of all-time – with a sleek grey suit and a black button-up, proving that Jordans can go well with anything! Check out more of Wade and the IIIs below and let us know what you think.

adidas Originals and Tokyo-based sneaker specialists atmos have collaborated several times over the past couple years, each project utilizing some materials resulting in a ‘G-SNK’ designation. It stands forglow-in-the-dark snake, which is critical to the design of this new atmos x adidas Originals ZX 8000, their second take on the classic runner. They use a similar material blocking pattern to the OG ‘Aqua’-styled pair that just released, though the GITD snake details here are even more important given the shoe’s relatively simple colorway. This time around you can expect a November ship date from atmos; will you look to grab a pair when they inevitably end up on the secondary market?

When the New Balance 574 debuted in grey suede back in 1988, there were exactly four flavors of Starburst candy. Fast forward a quarter-century and we get so many new sneakers in so many new themes and colorways that NB has already utilized the ‘Candy Pack’ name for a pack of 996s. So despite the fact that each color combo on this new trio of NB574s could correspond to a different flavor of Mars fruit chews, they’re aimed squarely at one and none of them. The New Balance ‘Fruit Pack’ feels more vital thanks to its name conjuring images of raw juice and sweet flesh instead of HFCS, each of the three pairs among the more vibrant footwear for fall. Peep more images after the jump and look for these at select New Balance retailers including LA’s Millennium Shoes.

We’ll forgive you if you mistook the adidas Orginals Metro Attitude Logo for a Jeremy Scott release at first glance. This in house design from the adidas Originals team certainly bears a resemblance to Scott’s work-from the massive tongue to the gaudy combo of gold and faux snakeskin. If nothing else, the gigantic tongue is a surefire way to rep your love for the old-school Trefoil logo, especially with the branding done up in eye popping gold here. Get a full look at this upcoming colorway for the adidas Originals Metro Attitude Logo after the jump and grab your pair a bit ahead of schedule from Kicks Crew.
