Nike Sportswear brought back the Nike Zoom Hyperflight recently with the “Superhuman” Pack, debuting some tonal graphic uppers representing the alter egos of Nike Basketball’s trio of superstars, and even the recent previewing of the Vis Zoom Hyperflights with the holographic lenticular upper has given this classic Nike hoops silhouette some energy. Later this year, the Hyperflight will take on a much more wild stance as we get a first look at the Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Orange Tiger” – a shoe that we first caught a glimpse of at a teaser preview of upcoming NSW releases. This enticing release features the feral orange/black graphic on the upper with hints of jungle green on the outsole, adding up to a distinct personality of a primal beast. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more release info, and check out the gallery below.

Owing to the stupendous popularity of the ‘Galaxy’ release, we’ve seen a variety of Foamposite customs take on sky-based themes. Most of them have been celestial, but this latest drop takes advantage of the timing on the edge of summer to celebrate another nightime light phenomenon. The ‘Fireflies’ Nike Air Foamposite One by Nift ‘Rocket Boy’ Ferrara makes reference to the immortal summer night passtime of catching lightning bugs with a design blending a starry sky with a forest landscape and GITD outsole treatment. Let us know how they compare after you’ve seen more shots below and stick with Sneaker News for the latest customs.

Could this be the Nike LeBron XI? Nike is a few months away from revealing the eleventh signature sneaker in the Nike LeBron saga, but during a recent team practice, LeBron James was spotted wearing an all-black sneaker that at this point, remains unidentified. Could it be a wear-test sample of the Nike LeBron XI, which is currently set for an October 2013 debut, a new spin on one of LeBron’s take-down models like the Soldier or Ambassador line, or is it the actual Nike LeBron 11? The design itself looks as chiseled as ever, with the monotone black colorway giving it a “Tumbler” look. There’s no confirming at this point, but it’s definitely something to think about with the new LeBron signature shoe being set to debut later this year. We’ve got more photos below so take a look and get the comments rolling in!

Another colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC II High QS “NFL Pack” us upon us as the Jacksonville Jaguars are honored with this insane colorway of this Nike Trainer classic. Unlike the Vikings and Dolphins colorways we just showed you earlier today, this Jaguars joint utilizes patent leather out the mudguard – almost giving the shoe a football helmet-like glossy finish! Oneness will also have these this Friday, May 24th, so be sure to stick with Sneaker News for what is shaping up to be an NFL-wide roll-out of Nike Sportswear Retro releases.

So those Nike Air Trainer Max ’91 “Bo Knows” and the Nike Air Trainer SC II High QS NFL “Minnesota Vikings” previews were pretty sick, huh? Get ready for more. Here’s a first look at the Nike Air Trainer SC II “Miami Dolphins” in the incredibly trendy colorway of teal, orange, and hints of blue; although not shown, these are very much likely to have the longstanding Miami Dolphins logo printed on the insoles of the shoes to complement the team-based colorway. There’s more to come, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more and cop these at Oneness this Friday.

Now that Nike owns the rights to NFL logos and such, there’s no more beating around the bush with team-related colorways as we get a wave of Nike Sportswear “NFL” releases like this Nike Air Trainer SC II High. Obviously, this white, purple, yellow, and grey colorways is a perfect fit for the Minnesota Vikings, but the fact that the actual NFL franchise logo is on the insole proves that Nike won’t hold back with what is apparently a new wave of Nike Trainer Retro releases (did you see the Nike Air Trainer Max ’91 “Bo Knows” with the Raiders logo?). Oneness reports a release this Friday, May 24th, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates and check out the extra images below.

Next week will see the release of another Nike LeBron X Elite colorway. The pair will get back to the wild precedent set by the initial “Superhero” joints, a precedent that was dialed back a bit thanks to the second, white/metallic gold look. The sneaker is one we’ve seen on the feet of LeBron James once or twice, despite the sport turquoise/volt/violet force not coming anywhere close to lining up with his Heat uniform. See more on this Nike LeBron X Elite after the jump and then grab a pair ahead of schedule from kicksclusive on eBay.
