We haven’t seen much of this particular pair since he was spotted not only rocking them on stage at Coachella but also while chilling in back of it, but would anyone care to venture a guess that the Nike Air Yeezy 2 is still easily one of the most hotly anticipated sneakers out there. Especially now that we’ve actually gotten an Air Mag to market, the Air Yeezy 2 rises to Loch Ness Monster proportions during a time when the sneakerhead scene has never been more heavily populated. But just as the tickets for Ye and Jay(-Z)’s first ‘Watch the Throne’ tour show in Atlanta sold out in minutes, these black and pink Air Yeezy 2s are sure to be quite difficult to get your hands on. That is of course, unless you’re the genius musician and fearless fashionisto who can somehow pull them off along with a leather kilt over tight pants of the same material. Click through for a view of Kanye’s latest on-stage attire including the black/pink Nike Air Yeezy 2 and stick with Sneaker News for more including the US release date. via Diron Thomas

The most recently unveiled pair of Nike Air Foamposite Ones came with a ‘What the Foam’ nickname attached to its tie-dyed upper, and judging from the feedback we saw in the comments, ‘WTF’ was an appropriate descriptor. Some have called them the ‘Galaxy All-Star’ Foamposite One, and no matter the name, they’re guaranteed to headline next year’s Nike Sportswear Foamposite lineup. Then again, maybe it’ll be one of the more traditionally-colored editions that catches your eye, like the neon Ones, or maybe you’ll want the silver Pros with red and black trim? Click through to see new NSW Product Cration Lead for Basketball and Football, Gentry Humphrey wearing the Galaxy Foams and showing off several others, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for all the 2012 Nike Air Foamposite release dates. via Justin Amazing//Shoepreme

It’s a pretty common tradition for Jordan Brand to drop a few t-shirts featuring an upcoming retro model ahead of its release date. Cunning sneakerheads have long used these clues as confirmation for releases down the pipeline, but it shouldn’t be news to any of you at this point that the Air Jordan XIV ‘Last Shot’ Retro is on its way. Since you can’t cop the sneakers just yet though, why not grab this Jordan Brand tee that gives an inside look at the construction of this classic from the tail-end of the Tinker years. A graphic hit of the full sneaker on the back of the shirt is a heads up for the uninitiated, making it for a set-up and reveal from front to back. Check out the full photos of the Air Jordan 14 Retro ‘Blueprint’ t-shirt after the jump and be on the lookout for this one at your local Niketown or Jordan Brand spot.

Jordan Brand has always taken a conscious effort to combine aesthetics with performance. The upcoming Jordan Big Ups releases, like this Anthracite/Team Orange colorway, applies a stylish detail on the upper, utilizing a paint splatter/marble detailing that you don’t often see on a sneaker. It certainly brings a mode of unfamiliar fashion to the basketball court, especially when paired with the Anthracite Grey nubuck upper and the always-pleasing full-length Max Air. This colorway is one of a few November 2011 releases, but Nikestore has them up for grabs right now, so take a look below and let us know if you’d rock these on court.

Despite the fact that Derrick Rose ditched them during the NBA Playoffs in favor of his own Three Stripes signature, it looks like we can pencil him in for future releases from adidas Basketball’s lightest-ever series. The adidas adiZero Crazy Light is back, this time in lowtop form for a Chicago Bulls-leaning bred colorway that’s confirmed as a D-Rose ‘PE’ of sorts thanks to his signature on the rear lateral midsoles. This autograph is a notable addition when compared to to the initial Crazy Light Low images we saw in mid-summer; could we expect the same treatment for the white-based Bulls ‘home’ edition? Stick with Sneaker News for updates, and click on the jump below to see more photos in the meantime. via HC

In showing you another pair of Nike Air Force 1 Lows for ladies earlier, we mentioned that another tonally-constructed and foil-accented pair was on the way. This new WMNS AF1 Low features the same distribution of colors and materials as the aforementioned Grain edition, but instead of that earthy neutral shade, these go for a rich Deep Burgundy shade that could have just as easily been saved for a Valentine’s Day drop. These are among the boldest kicks for women we’ve seen all season despite their relatively simple design, and you’ll be able to see more images after the jump before grabbing a pair from Kicks-crew.

Ever the Euro favorite, the Nike Air Classic BW has just dropped in two new colorways over the past few weeks, both featuring the same colorblocking including golden accents. The same range of materials is in play for the above pictured model, though there are a couple of changes relative to the black and white Big Windows. This one doesn’t feature a gradient along its Window frame but instead goes for all-gold, which is also the case for the Swooshes and upper eyelets. These feel less flashy and considerably earthier than the others thanks to a brown base; are they the best of the trio? Have a closer look after the jump and look for these now at select European retailers.

The hightop version is characterized by a Chuck Taylor-style silhouette that’s been enhanced by an elastic gusset on the ankles, so what can we expect from the adidas Originals AO Toss Lo? If you remember the earliest images of the AO Toss from all the way back in February, you’ll recall that the first lowtops had a chunky lower eyestay that meant its piping was like mashing a couple of Vans lowtops together on a Chuck sole with Three Stripes. The revised model is considerably stronger, thanks to the removal of all piping and a return to a more traditional eye-placket for a look that is indeed somewhat All Star-ish, but also highlights adidas’ penchant for stylish lowtops. Check them out in greater detail after the jump and look for these at select retailers like SNS.

It may not be fair to elementary school aged kids and younger, but the vast majority of today’s high profile sneaker releases simply aren’t available in sizes that small. Luckily, Nike Sportswear never fails to satisfy your tiny sneakerheads with a variety of playful looks, the latest more along the lines of something to match their dress-up gear for picture day. The Nike Dunk Low GS pictured above doesn’t feature any crazy patterns or a color scheme inspired by a cartoon superhero, but instead introduce the youngsters to the concept of balance via neutrality as they combine vibrant red and steely blue accents across a tonal brown mix of suede and leather. More photos await your click on the jump below; do you wish you had smaller feet so you could buy these when they release in the coming months? via Dunk

Just as is the case with Omar Salazar’s long-lost signature, there’s another former regular in the Nike SB rotation that had been away for several months that’ll be returning as part of the November 2011 drop. The Nike SB Zoom FP is back in a simply satisfying colorway in line with Swoosh skateboarding’s recent leanings, their black suede uppers offered a softer than usual golden accent shade thanks to the careful use of grey on the ankle collar and forefoot midsole. The Future Primitive is back and perhaps better than ever; are you excited to see these available along with Nike SB’s monthly releases? Check them out in more detail after the jump and then grab a pair from a SB shop like Premier.
