It appears that Nike SB will release both strapped and un-strapped version of the Nike SB Dunk Mid for the upcoming Summer 2012 season. Sneaker News gave you a first look at some upcoming Nike SB Dunk Mid colorways that featured the strap, but also dropping in Summer ’12 is this strapless Khaki/Bone colorway, which has as similar color-balance to the Khaki/White SB Dunk High that released back in 2006. The foremost layer of the upper features a pebble-texture as does the swoosh, giving the shoe a ‘carved from stone’ appeal. More angles await you below, so take a look and keep in tune with Sneaker News for more Nike SB updates. via N-SB.

The ‘Old Royal’ colorway of the Air Jordan X has been one of the more popular topics of discussion here on Sneaker News for several reasons. Not only does it mark the first new Retro+ colorway of the Air Jordan X, but it also boasts a significant difference from previous Air Jordan X Retro releases – the mesh material used as the base-layer of the lace placket. Many seem to have expressed a desire for leather instead of mesh, but it appears that it will be a common feature for upcoming Air Jordan X retros, as seen on the White/Violet GS release. The ‘Old Royal’ will follow the drop of the ‘Chicago’ colorway, which does in fact use leather in the area of note, so do you think these are a ‘worthy’ follow-up to that long-awaited original? Check out the new images below and cop this size 9 sample now from el-store on eBay.

The low-top boom for the Nike LeBron won’t drop until this upcoming Summer 2012 season, but you’ve already seen the Nike LeBron 9 Low on Sneaker News before. Here we have a set of new angles of upcoming low-top counterpart for the LeBron 9, which, unlike the Mid, features a full-length 360-degree Max Air unit. The carbon-fiber weave panels located on both the medial and lateral sidewalls are also dropped in favor of the thin Hyperfuse mesh, but a number of notable details do remain, like the Flywire on the forefoot, LeBron logo representation on the heel and laces, and outsole traction composition (shown here). Check out the extra shots of the upcoming Nike LeBron 9 Low in Black/White/Grey after the jump and keep in tune with Sneaker News for more updates. via hoopchina.

The Nike Sportswear Hyperfuse campaign will continue next summer, as we get a look at four upcoming colorways of the Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse. While we have yet to see any OG renderings of the AM90 Hyperfuse (outside of the limited release of the Crooked Tongues collaboration of the Infrareds), these new color-ups utilized the tonal motif that seems to work exceptionally well on the multi-layered sneaker. Two-toned colorways seem to be the go-to formula for these, so expect more of that variety in addition to the four colorways seen here. Need another look? Take a look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike Sportswear upcoming releases.

Jordan Brand outfitted freakishly athletic soon-to-be Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss for the first half of his NFL career, but aside from that magical 2007 season in New England, you could fairly convincingly aruge that his cut from JB’s roster was as shrewd a move as anything from Bill Belichick. The Jumpman switched focus to other gridiron stars like Jason Taylor and Dwight Freeney, and have found a bonafide star replacement for Moss in recent years thanks to the upward flight of Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson. So when we see a new trainer in the style of the Trunner series given the name Jordan RCVR, it’s natural to associate them with the Pro Bowl wideout. Two colorways of this new-for-2012 trainer await your click on the jump below; will you choose bred or black/white? via UC

We’ve already seen quite a few Miami-inspired colorways of the Nike LeBron 9, and some might argue that these, the Miami of Hurricanes colorway, are the best of the bunch. Green, White, and Orange has represented the city of Miami proudly for decades thanks to the great football program at ‘The U’, so these have more of a home-grown feel to them. The general release version won’t feature the ‘U’ logo on the tongue, but everything else that makes these certifiably a ‘Miami’ joint is there, so mark your calendars for November 29th when these hit select Nike Basketball retailers like MrRSports in Miami, or cop a pair in advance on eBay.

New Balance’s numbering scheme for classic runners is based roughly on higher numbers equalling more luxurious designs, and that puts the above pictured model in a class that’s right at the top of the list. The New Balance 1500 is famous for its lush suede and mesh releases and this new model absolutely nails the black/grey/white combo with a little mint green tossed in for good measure. They’d surely draw comparisons to the legendary ‘Tiffany’ Dunk SBs were these Swooshed, but instead they’re likely to be recieved on their own merits as an icey cool new NB just in time for the winter season.

The lineup of Nike SB signature sneakers has been pushed further and further technology-wise in the last couple of years, with a range of styles picking up Lunar upgrades most recently. It’s nice to know that amidst all this, there is still room for more minimalist designs like the Nike SB V-Rod. This Paul Rodriguez approved pair gets its name of course from the straight-forward vulcanized sole that proves sometimes less is more. The latest colorway we’ve got a look at is this deep burgundy release, which opts for a smooth red velvet look up top paired with the clean white outsoles. Check out the full photos after the jump and hit up Concepts if you’ve gotta have these.

The Swoosh’s running shoes are precision engineered to perform well in mens and womens sizes, but when it comes to the Nike Training division, there’s quite a bit more novelty on the WMNS side of things. The latest example is a model that, unlike the Free TR series, has no equivalent in mens sizes, a notion that might leave some in anguish when they see how well the Nike WMNS Free XT Motion Fit+ has come together. This Club and Imperial Purple tonal study adds bright orange accents on the laces and heel to achieve that Clemson Tigers look that comes around less than its satisfying look suggests they should, and they’re available right now from retailers like StepToRun on eBay.

Dignan isn’t just a name associated with 50 year plans. It’s also about realizing in the here and now that the winter months are hell on your sneaker collection, and the time has come for sneakerheads to be sufficiently aware of traditional fashion so as to take advantage of the vast array of time tested winter-ready boot designs. Gourmet has been ahead of the curve on a variety of these boot-borrowing hybrids, particularly the duck variety, and their latest again pushes the envelope on weatherproof lifestyle kicks. The Gourmet Dignan applies a ripstop nylon shell that’s zipped and then cinched shutatop a sole that looks like it could have come from Nike Running’s Zoom Structure series. It’s one of the most surprisingly outlandish releases of the holiday season, a feel furthered by the unassuming and ever versatile grey and white palette. Check them out in greater detail after the jump, then grab a pair from Gourmet emporiums like Allike.
