Tigah-tigah-tigah-tigah Woods y’all. Last night we showed you some great upcoming colorways of the Nike Dunk NG – a golf-course ready pair of Dunks that’ll surely turn heads when you’re rollin’ on your golf cart. Of those five colorways, the White/Black-Granite colorway just popped for sale, so let’s take a closer look at the Dunk’s latest sport crossover; it features the classic Dunk upper with a restructured outsole that’ll have your feet planted firmly in the grass when you’re getting your Shooter McGavin’ on. Check out the extra angles below and lace yourself up in these new golf joints now because they’re available now at Nikestore.

For a sneaker based on the Air Maestro Flight, a silhouette made famous by Scottie Pippen, the Nike Flight Maestro Plus has been surprisingly shallow in the realm of Bulls-inspired colorways. The upcoming pair shown here has something to say about that, with a color combo that has long since been immortalized on the sneakers of another Chicago Bull. White dominates the upper, with streaks of red and black showing up on the various accents of the shoe. Hey, it even fits in with Pippen’s short stint with the Portland Trailblazers towards the latter half of his career. Follow us after the jump to a better look at this colorway, which should be popping up at retailers next year. via Sneaker Freaker

2011 was a big year for Supra, launching its Skytop III flagship, opening their New York retail spot and issuing more color-themed packs than anyone this side of Dustin Hoffman could remember. And with just a couple short weeks left before New Year’s, the Crown brand is looking to celebrate the holidays and the calendar they culminate with the biggest Skytop release yet. The Supra Skytop ‘Stomper’ is indeed the biggest one we’ve ever seen, and we mean that literally because the all-white sidewalls on these black suede Skytops are extended beyond their normal range to create a high contrast look that appears excellent at crushing obsticles in your path. A mere 413 pairs have been created and they’ll be available on December 24th at Supra‘s e-store and a select list of retailers you’ll see along with additional images after the jump.

“You got everybody in here ‘Oh my gosh’-in’!”
Big Sean appropriated Rick James via MC Hammer for an entirely different purpose, but that doesn’t mean some of his lyrics aren’t indeed spot-on in describing adidas Basketball’s troupe of all-star dunkers. Three Stripes ballers Dwight Howard, Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday were on hand for the shooting of the adidas x Foot Locker ‘The Difference’ commercial a short while back, and the cameras kept rolling after the action was wrapped because these guys decided to put on another show. With the help of an unnamed young 1 with a handle like ‘The Professor’, all kinds of oops, reverse jams and 360-did-you-see-thats are being served up fresh, and you can see the entire highlight reel after the jump below.

If the demands of snobby country club attire have been holding you back from hitting the fairway, the Nike Dunk NG SL might be the remedy. The timeless Dunk silhouette is intact, with the upgrades coming in the form of movement responsive golf spikes on the bottom. The first round of releases for this new hybrid is pretty colorful fare, with a couple bearing more muted tones and even a black and white gingham look in the mix. The pack is split gender-wise with four pairs for the guys and four for the ladies. Follow us after the jump for a look at the new Nike Dunk NG SL, which should show up in January. Sweater vest not included. via SneakR

The Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Predator Pack’ was meant to feature Kobe’s predatory spirit during games. Embodying the fierce persona of the Black Mamba, the Great White Shark, and the Leopard, the Nike Zoom Kobe VII proves to be a natural extension of Kobe Bryant’s game and solidifies his reputation as one of the best ‘closers’ in the game. Nike recently confirmed these (via Twitter) to be the ‘Leopard’, not the ‘Cheetah’, which had been endearingly attached to this wild colorway, although it’s the cheetah that is distinguishable with its oval spots and long tails (leopards have more intricate spots and shorter tails). Whatever the case (Leopard, Cheetah, or Christmas) may be, these Supreme-grade Kobes will certainly sell out quickly once they release on Christmas Day. We’ve got a new set of detailed images for you below, so take a look and guarantee yourself a pair by picking one up from mikkol8 on eBay.

The Nike LeBron 9 chapter will feature the Base model, which has begun its release with the ‘China’ back in October (and most recently, the ‘China’ in the U.S.), the P.S. Elite version, which will be the Prototype model that we showed you once again earlier today, and the Low, which is set to arrive this Summer 2012 season. Let’s take a closer look at the Nike LeBron 9 Low; it features a the Hyperfuse/Flywire upper on a lower-cut design, but gone is the weave panel on the lateral and medial wall (replaced by more lightweight Hyperfuse material). The ‘Low’ will also features full-length 360 Max Air, which was last featured on the LeBron 8 V/2. So three different models for the LeBron 9, and three different cushioning units. Which of the three do you like best? Check out the Black/White/Volt colorway below and let us know what you think, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more Nike LeBron 9 updates. Many thanks to Vi Lien.

Not much more can be said about the upcoming Air Jordan IV ‘White/Cement’ at this point. We’ve shown you plenty of samples as well as a nice side-by-side comparison of the ’99 Retro with the upcoming ’12 version, and our readers have chimed in over 1,000 times to let their voices be heard. We all get that while the issues with quality and price have rubbed sneakerheads the wrong way, these will still go down as one of the best releases of 2012 and could give whatever Air Jordan XI is planned for December 2012 a run for its money as the best Jordan Retro of the year. Of course, the most recent news regarding the White/Cements is the OG-inspired box, which should give all 2012 AJ4 releases some added ‘umph’. If you want to take another look at these beauties, we’ve got a nice gallery below, but if you want to take it a step further and have these in your hands now, get a pair right now from retailer soleawesome or on eBay.

adidas Skateboarding just offered up a couple glimpses into their plans for early 2012, but much like the brand that’s their biggest hurdle in the skate sneaker space, Three Stripes’ spring ’12 kicks are coming out in time to capitalize on the holiday shopping rush. The star of this set is clearly the adidas Busenitz, replicated across three colorways true to the design’s Samba influence, especially the black/white/gum edition. There are also two new Eldridge lowtops, one in Dark Cinder and another cosigned by Pete Eldrige in Cardinal Red suede, about the same shade you’ll find on the stripes of Lucas Puig’s latest Skate release. Check out all six pairs in more detail after the jump and look for these now at select adidas Skate retailers like Premier.
