May 18th is scheduled with a variety of new releases including the launch of Lil Wayne’s new Supra imprint. The Lil Wayne x Supra Chimera debut kickstarts the Spectre capsule this Saturday in three colorways. The Chimera is all about sweeping lines, the culmination of which is an elegant if nontraditional silhouette that’s especially dope in a mint-speckled pink-hit makeup. Click through to see more of those plus a bred edition that will arrive this weekend along with a white/red colorway and let us know how Weezy’s sneakers compare to the ever growing list of rapper shoe designs. These are dropping this weekend at select retailers like Sneaker Politics this Saturday, May 18th!

The limited number of collab Dunks we’ve seen in 2013 have aimed at keeping things pretty unified in terms of the hues used. Take the APC x Nike Dunk High set for example. Both the beige and the black keep it at just that, with one uniform shade of suede used across the upper of the respective pairs. Continue reading to see what we mean and give us your two cents in the comments regarding which of these APC x Nike Dunk High joints for Summer 2012 is more appealing to you. And, as always, keep your eyes locked on Sneaker News to find out when they’ll be at NSW accounts.

We continue our string of insane sneaker collections on Instagram with a focus on PEvault – a collector with a distinct taste for the rarest Player Exclusives in Air Jordan and Nike Basketball form. We’re certain that what he has up on his Instagram profile is just a snippet of what has in his “PE vault”, but what he shows us is ridiculously impressive – the Air Jordan IV “Laser” samples given to Melo right after the Olympics, the Air Jordan V Ray Allen PE during his Seattle days, an Air Jordan IX Low for former NFL Runningback Marshall Faulk, and a lot more. Check out some of the gems on his Instagram profile and give him a Follow – you never know what other insane heat he’s gonna come up with next!

One of the more engaging stories in the sneaker community over the last two years was the emergence of the ShoeZeum that was owned, operated, and curated by Jordan Geller – one of the most enthusiastic sneaker collectors ever to lace up a pair of shoes. Sneaker News had the fortunate opportunity to not only break the ShoeZeum story wide open in 2011, but also to be at the grand opening of the ShoeZeum Las Vegas in August of 2012; creating a near-complete sneaker collection filled with the most amazing heat on the planet and having it available for public viewing is a feat that no other person in the world might have been able to accomplish, but Jordan has put a lot of time, work and money into this, and after an impressive run, he’s ready to move on to a new chapter.
Beginning last night, Jordan is putting almost the entire ShoeZeum collection up for grabs on eBay, listing either 9, 23, or 45 different individual items per day. That gives sneaker collectors a rare chance to purchase some of the most sought-after shoes on the planet, and with every single auction starting off at $0.99, it’s anyone’s game – and who knows, you might even cop a steal! This might be the biggest auction event in sneaker collection history and there will be without question some serious heat up for grabs, so check out some of the major highlights that just went up for bidding and keep an eye out for more gems popping up daily in Jordan Geller’s eBay store – shoezeum on eBay.

Richard Hamilton is one of a few players left in the NBA active during Michael Jordan’s tenure with the Washington Wizards, and one of only three to have played with him there (winning NCAA and NBA championships is also quite rare). Rip’s Jumpman connection goes back even further to his days at UConn (and presumably all the way back to Coatesville). So while it might be a bit easier for him to pull a few strings, he’s still just like us in being proud of new pairs. Here we see the Chicago sharpshooter showing off two fresh Air Jordan 1 Retro High OGs, the forthcoming ‘Grape’ Vs and a new color of the Retro 1 ’93 that despite photo filters appears to be an orange-laced silvery style. Hamilton also got playful in matching a slightly older release in the ‘Chicago’ Xs to the Bulls logo, so check out all these shots below and let us know which of these you also copped.

Nate Robinson’s love for Air Jordans was a perfect match for the Bulls’ acquisition of the entertaining backcourt player. Of course no Bulls player will ever wear Jays quite like Michael did, but Nate is indeed the only player since Jordan to consistently wear Air Jordans in his rotation. His in-game rotation was impressive to say the least, with some nice gems like the Air Jordan VII “Miro” and “Hare”, which makes total sense because he tells ESPN that his favorite model of all-time is the Air Jordan VII. We know Nate’s got a nice collection of Jays, but take a look at just a portion of his 150+ pair stash below and let us know what pairs you have in common with him.

Kenyon Martin‘s return to the NBA was huge for the Knicks, as he provided some much-needed low-post presence for the ailing big-men on the New York roster. In his first few games back in the league, he showed up in some nice Air Jordan Retros, and although he’s reverted back to basic Nike Basketball kicks, there’s no knowing what K-Mart might bring out for the Playoffs because he’s just given us a taste of his Air Jordan Collection. No boxes, no closets, no vaults – just a simple and neat floor lay-out of some notable Retro releases over the last year with some other specialties sprinkled in. This is probably just a portion of his overall collection, so check out his Air Jordans below and let us know what you’re impressed with the most!
