Here’s a look at a potential (but likely) kids-only colorway of the Nike LeBron 9 in Laser Pink and Black; it features the vivid femme-friendly colorway paired with a Black upper and White accents on hte swoosh, midsole, and LeBron James insignia on the tongue. Although the introduction of the LeBron 9 to Nike iD will allow for plenty of custom colorways, this hot pink colorway is not an option. If it were, a LeBron 9 ‘South Beach’ could be easily made! In any case, Nike Basketball comes through once again with a Girls-only colorway of the LeBron, following the LeBron 8 V/2 Black/Pink that dropped earlier this year. More images of the Nike LeBron 9 GS ‘Laser Pink’ await you below, so take a look and head to Finishline to get yours.

Sometimes it helps for an Air Jordan to adopt a catchy nickname. Some approve, others don’t (i.e. the ‘Raptors’ being a prime example of controversial naming since the OG released before the Raptors were born), but ‘Candy Cane’ is a fairly accurate assessment since the White/Red midsole does remind us of the classic striped holiday candy. Here we have yet another look at the upcoming 2012 release of the Air Jordan XIV in the ‘Home’ Bulls colorway of White/Red/Black; these were last seen in stores back in 2006, so do some of you still have your ’06 Retro (or even the OG) in your closet? Let us know after you check out these new images. via soleland.

Of the hundreds of Air Force 1 Bespokes we’ve seen, how many were directly inspired by consumer products? Joshua Slovin recently received not one, but two Bespoke creations he designed, one inspired by the high-end champagne Dom Perignon, and the other by Dutch Masters, which are easily attainable at any corner bodega. For the Dom Perignon design, Joshua imitated the luxurious bottle design, with custom heeltabs that print ‘Vintage 1984′, a likely call-out to Slovin’s birth year. The Dutch Master has a bit more of a rustic colorway, with an oat and brown upper mimicking the Dutch Masters box. Which of the two do you like better? Do you relate more to Dom Perignon, or to Dutch Masters? Check out the gallery below and let us know what you think.

As it was detailed in the Nike Hyperfuse ‘Tales From The Kitchen’ video, Shane Kohatsu’s discovery of Nike Hyperfuse was transferred over to Nike Sportswear, as a curious Ben Shaffer implemented this three-layer super-lightweight material onto classic Air Max models that were typically constructed of heavier leather and suede materials. Both Nike Innovation Kitchen chefs have been praised for their magnificent creations, and in 2012, two years after Hyperfuse was introduced via the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse, Nike Sportswear will continue forth with the Fuse experimentation with the super-sleek Nike Air Max 97. Here we have a look at four upcoming colorways of the Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse; leading the pack is the OG ‘Silver Bullet’ colorway, followed by three tonal renditions of Volt, Blue, and Black. More shots await you below, so take a good look and stay in touch with Sneaker News for more Nike 2012 releases!

It’s been quite a while since we’ve remarked on the Air Max Lunar’s confusing name, which means that it must be time for a new Lunarmax+ release. The former was a Max Air and LunarLon-cushioned mashup of mostly early/mid-’90s running aesthetics, whereas the latter’s sequel, the Nike Lunarmax+ 2 features the same mix of cushioning but with a serious performance lean. The second Lunarmax for women shows off the model’s distinct Flywire-reinforced layered midfoot support in two dark-based colorways with vibrant accent colors, and you can see more of the grye/pink and black/aqua pairs in images following the jump. There’s certainly a bit of LunarGlide 3 in here; do you like the direction Nike Running’s Lunar series is going? Let us know what you think and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release. via SF

The Jordan Prime 5 returns one year after its introduction in three new colorways; utilizing a tonal Black upper, each of the three members of the 11/5 releases feature a high-contrast secondary color like Varsity Royal, Sonic Yellow, or Infrared, shown here. The entire tongue and inner lining is painted with Infrared, with matching contrast stitching on the midsole and Jumpman emblem on the heel. Again, these are expected to release on November 5th, but some retailers like MrRSports have received these a bit earlier. Check out the detailed angles below and let us know if you’d cop these!

Confirmed for kids sizes. Dropping February 18th, 2012. Will feature a nubuck-wrapped ‘Wing’. What else do you need to know? The anxiety surrounding the release of the Air Jordan IV White/Cement is mounting, because for some, the release is nearly thirteen years in the making. Hardcore collectors who were around at the turn of the century are still holding on tight to their ’99 Retros, but that kung-fu grip can be loosened just a bit once they release. The Kids version, as we see here again, comes with a few noticeable differences from the men’s sizes, like the lack of the ‘peak’ at the forefoot of the midsole. If you need another look, check ‘em out below, and let us know if you still have your ’99 Retros! via sneakerhotline.

It’s been nearly three years since Mastermind Japan applied a stud to the top eyelet and skull to the tongue of a black Chuck Taylor All Star, so this newest collaboration is long overdue. The Mastermind x Converse Jack Purcell Mid employs a similar motif, but the result is quite different owing to a few subtle changes. We’ll start at the tongue, where the skull logo has been displaced in favor of a subtler pair with crossbones and a script embroidery. The ankle collar still sees its top eyelet replaced by a stud, but instead of a zipper going down to the sole from the heel, you get it on the lateral side panels so that the skull can rest on the heel cup. All these changes plus a ‘MASTERMIND’ handstyle on the toecap means these’ll be a must-have when they release on December 1st at select Converse stores. via HB//boundlezz

The Mags are here! The Mags are here! Theophilus London is the most recent notch of the Nike Mag 2011 belt of Celebrity Feet sightings, as the Brooklyn native recently rocked his lit-up pair during his show in New York City. Theophilus London has gained a reputation for owning one of the most unique fashion styles in the hip-hop industry, but his sneakerheadism has been well documented as well (he was chosen to represent Brooklyn for last year’s Nike Sportswear 1LOVE Borough Pack). We’ve got some extra shots of Theophilus London’s Nike Mags below so take a look and let us know what you think.

Carmelo Anthony has access to Air Jordans like nobody else this side of Michael himself and has enjoyed quite a few player exclusives over the years to compliment his Jordan Brand signature series. Melo seems to be partial to the Air Jordan XII, but despite their emergence as the past few years’ biggest releases, he doesn’t seem all that enamored with their immediate successors. In fact, this new Jordan Melo M8 in Cool Grey with white trim is about as close as Carmelo gets to the AJXI, but you can’t deny the obvious influence from last year’s biggest holiday drop when you see the Melo M8′s patent leather toe. Click through to see those and more details and pick up a pair today at a JB stockist like NikeStore, Mr. R Sports or get yours right now on eBay.
