Here’s another one of those ‘almost-LIVESTRONG’ palettes, which looks quite good on the Nike Air Max 90.  We know that young sneakerheads need some dope exclusives, but can’t help but be a little jealous about how well the neon yellow sections compliment a selection of greys that has some history with Jeff Staple.  Then again, the toebox and ankle area are enhanced with a textured nylon.  Cop a pair for your little one and light up their holiday with neon.  Available from Shaolin8 on eBay.

As warmly as most sneakerheads welcomed the Air Max LeBron VII, the biggest buzz surrounding the shoe was perhaps thanks to the Red Carpet NFW edition. People went crazy for this crisp color scheme and classy woven upper, only to find out that the actual release would be extremely limited in quantity. The Red Carpets hit only four stores last Thursday and were sold out before most people even knew they had dropped. Now we bring you the good news that we have not seen the last of these beauties in stores. There will in fact be a restock of the eagerly awaited kicks at select House of Hoops and Foot Locker locations, so if you missed them last week, you should have no excuse when they hit shelves on December 3rd.

A few days back, we brought you a sneak peek of a new Parra Nike Air Max 1 collaboration that was initially thought to be a Patta creation. It turned out to be a Parra, further adding to many people’s confusion between French artist Parra and Dutch retailer Patta. Now that that’s hopefully all cleared up, we present a look at an actual Patta Air Max 1 collaboration that will be dropping as a Quickstrike some time after the green and purple AM1s that we have already shown you.  This colorway features a nice blend of rich colors and materials, using sections of corduroy, denim and suede splashed with varied shades of blue, green and red. Specific release info on these is yet to be announced, but for now, you can check out some more pics after the jump. Photos via MusicSkins.com.

We thought it was settled back in ‘97, but Nike proved that East vs. West is still a viable rivalry.  Most of the releases have been out for a while, but the delicious ‘Bacon’ Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache by New York’s Dave’s Quality Meats is welcome any time.  A darker take on the original that’s lighter than its samples, this updated Bacon might bite you back with its toothy Free sole.  They’re finally available stateside at exclusive Nike accounts like Proper.

Back in August we gave you a look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII in the black/metallic gold colorway, also known as “The Phantom.” A few months have passed and we have some great detailed images of these LeBron VII’s. The shoe is predominantly black, but that doesn’t mean these LeBrons don’t have some flare to break up the monotony. There are metallic gold details on the L23 logo button, lace loops and surrounding the Swoosh that pop off the black background very nicely. If you’ve been waiting for a better look at these, check out a ton of crisp detailed images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII after the jump. Via Kinstor.

Adam Goldstein’s loss was not only a shocker in the high-brow celebrity realm, but also hit close to home for many sneakerheads, as he was just as popular to us for his collection of 900+ pairs of serious heat.  As you may know, Deckstar and UNDFTD has started an eBay auction event which will provide all of its winning proceeds to the DJ AM Memorial Fund.

Our initial teaser to you guys gave a small glimpse of what was to be auctioned off to some lucky bidders.  With pairs being added every evening till the first week of December, a number of gems have already been revealed for open bidding.  Take a look below to check out what’s already out, contending for the heaviest hitters.  We think you would be quite surprised at which pair currently holds the highest bid.

Update: These are Parra Air Max 1, not Patta as we previous wrote.

At this point, Dutch sneaker heavyweights Patta are no strangers to Nike collaborations or the Air Max 1. They have recently revealed two different colorways of the Air Max 1, adding some fresh shades of green and purple canvas to the shoe’s classic color blocking for a new look. Now, thanks to the recent Patta interview feature on Complex, we get a brief, but enticing preview of another Air Max 1 collabo in the works between Patta and Nike. As you can see, this new version sports a solid burgundy suede upper with a white midsole, light blue accents and a multi-colored outsole. There isn’t much else known about this project at the moment, but stay tuned for more news as soon as it breaks.

Earlier this month we gave you a glimpse at the Nike Air Max Rise in the black/white-varsity royal color way. Here is a look at the black/white-varsity red and white/black-varsity red versions. Brandon Roy of the Portland Trail Blazers has been wearing these for home and away games, repping the team’s “Young Guns” nickname thanks to the heel logo. As opposed to the suede upper of previous versions we’ve seen, these Air Max Rise’s feature leather uppers, with a patent leather ankle strap and multi-colored red and black laces. The swoosh can be found on the side panel as well as a black and red carbon fiber heel, visible air unit and red gradient strip running along the midsole. Look for both pairs to hit select retailers such as FootLocker this month.
