These fuzzy upper Nike’s have been long anticipated for stateside sneakerheads, and when they started dropping in US retailers last week, they were going fast. For those who read last week when we gave a heads up that the Tennis Ball Pack hit nikestore.com, you already know that the yellow colorway literally sold within minutes of hitting online availability. For those without special account Nike retailers, or missed the chance to cop online, House of Hoops has you covered. All three colorways of the Nike Hypermax Tennis Ball Pack will be releasing tomorrow, Friday 9/4. For those in the area of a HOH, or whom are willing to drive a few hundred miles, here’s your second chance (or maybe even third). Via Footlocker Unlocked.

Back in January, we showed you Nike’s Think Pink pack, which featured solid pink colorways of the Hyperdunk and Blue Chip. The shoes were created in conjunction with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to raise money and awareness for the war on breast cancer. Sadly, Yow recently passed away after several bouts with the disease and now Nike is honoring her memory with another Think Pink model. This time, its the Nike Zoom Kobe IV that receives the Think Pink treatment. The shoe features a solid pink upper with minimal white highlights and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo on the heel. There is no word yet if these will be released for retail, but we will keep you posted. The original Think Pinks dropped at House of Hoops, so it wouldn’t be out of the question to think these might show up there soon. via NT.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers well on their way to the strongest regular season finish in the franchise’s history, it’s only fitting that their main attraction should get a nice new shoe to show off in the playoffs. Last month, we showed you some images of a similar colorway for LeBron’s Zoom Soldier III, but these new ones are a little different, flipping the placement of certain white and black sections of the shoe. This version still uses a black/white/red color scheme, but on these, the toe cap is black patent leather and the straps and section of the upper beneath them is now white. Also, a red and white midsole gives the shoe a nice shot of color to spice up the basic black and white upper. Look for these to begin hitting Nike retailers in time for this year’s NBA Playoffs. Stay tuned for the official release details. via dunk.com

We saw the Nike Women’s Aqua Woven ND for the first time about a week ago. We found the aquasock-like shoe for summer just a bit earlier than expected, along with a new colour. The purple/black/pink and aqua/pink pairs are both here, joined by this new pair in yellow and pink. All three feature a Free-like sole and a simple Velcro strap as the only fastener. If you plan to get wet and wild this summer, any or all three can be yours now from atmos.

We hate to keep doing this to you, but it is not our fault that the folks producing all the sneakers lately have come up with some fire that will be leaving red hot burning holes in your wallets, even if you can limit yourself to just a handful of pairs this Spring. Nike Sportswear is not making the decision-making any easier as it looks a fresh water themed pack is making it’s way into stores, featuring a complimentary duo of an Air Max 95 and the highly anticipated Air Griffey Max 1.
The colors on this Air Max 95 are probably recognizable by most sneaker heads as it is one of the more classic color-combos seen on the Air Max 95, the fresh-water theme especially. And the Griffey Max 1? Well no matter what color, the Air Griffey will always pull the heartstrings as the retro has been a long time coming. Both of the models should be available in the coming weeks, if not already, at Nike Sportswear retailers such as Proper.

We all love how Nike SB and Premium releases from the Swoosh at-large come with multiple laces. We love Starks Laces as well, so why not throw em against a wall? It turns out, they stick together quite nicely, as Starks is releasing packs of laces along with singles. Their Solids Pack consists of a palette you can pop into a whole bunch of kicks: red, purple and Tiffany blue. In addition, the lace specialists also have all three available individually. The only difference is, the indy Tiffanys have black aglets, whereas the others are all white. Any of these are available in the traditional 45′ and 54′ lengths, and are ready to be had now from Starks Online Shop.

The Nike Air Yeezy is unquestionably the hottest rapper-inspired sneaker on the horizon. Its success in generating hype has been so great that Nike capitalized on it with another super-high model: the Nike RT1. In keeping with the hip-hop tradition of sampling, mid-Atlantic sneaker supplier DTLR got a hold of Harlem MC Jim Jones to add some star power to their Summer 2009 photo shoot. He’s pictured above and after the jump in the black, white and red pair, and we’ll have more detailed pics of the RT1 tomorrow, right here on Sneaker News. Thanks DTLR
Look for these now at select Nike retailers as well as on nikestore.com.

Pharrell’s dual fashion label Billionaire Boys Club (BBC)/Ice Cream has become popular as a high-end destination for urban apparel enthusiasts since it was first introduced almost a decade ago. Along with dope clothing releases every season, BBC/Ice Cream manages to put together some fresh kicks to go with the somewhat exclusive threads. Better known for shoes is the Ice Cream side of the label, but ever now and then Pharrell decides to include some clean footwear in the BBC line.
Making it’s debut over at the BBC/Ice Cream fashion house is this Chuck Taylor-inspired canvas sneaker, adding another model to accompany the shoes that come under the BBC name. The shoe features an all canvas upper in a navy color with white speckles that give a starry night effect, touching on the common theme of “Space Beach” used in much of BBC’s apparel. Standard’s Atlanta location is said to have them now, but they should be available at BBC stores and select BBC retailers. via Clothejl

Not too long ago, we saw a fresh denim take on the Nike Dunk High in the form of the Savage Denim Dunk High from none other than Lazy (Lazything, Akalazy). Usually, we don’t see full size runs of dope custom sneakers available to the public for purchase, especially from the likes of Lazy. In a move that will surely solidify his position as one of the world-wide sneaker community’s leading customizers, Lazy has cooked up a ridiculously fresh take on the Nike Dunk Low. Dubbed by its creator as the “Bloody Lazy” Dunk Low, this shoe takes the use of fabric and exotic textures to another level.
The upper of the shoe is completely adorned with a rich, red textile that flows seamlessly from section to section without the use of visible stitching. Adding am appropriately high-end flavor to this work of art is the croc skin Swoosh, which is styled with a rich, mahogany finish and a slight tint of red. To add the icing to the cake, Lazy has skillfully stuffed the tongue on this Dunk Low in order to give the shoe that comfy, Nike SB vibe. Unlike his most recent releases, this Dunk will be available in a super-limited quantity of 6 pairs. Be sure to get your credit cards/Paypal accounts ready come this Sunday night (February 22nd) at 10pm EST when you’ll need to cross your fingers in the hopes of beating everyone else to copping these beauties off of Lazy’s website.

Over the years, SBTG has truly become a force to recon with in the world of custom sneakers; both in terms of quality/creativity as well as market share. The success and popularity of the recent Dead Generals Dunks and the demand that has been growing for SBTG’s one-of-a-kind custom kicks has prompted him to put together a broader selection of designs and quantities for this Spring’s collection. Two themes that should be familiar to SBTG fans will be available in a more D.I.Y. context.
The first series of note available from the deft hands of SBTG is the SAWTOOTH Dunk Series, which draws a design cue from the SBTG x Phu “Death From Above” collaboration that come out back in 2008. Sticking with his fondness of military themes, the SAWTOOTH series of Dunk Lows features the type of shark teeh design that you may recognize from American war planes during WWII. Along with the shark teeth comes an Acid Pop twist with metallic accents, bright colors and leopord-like animal prints. These SAWTOOTH Dunks will be available in four schemes; Instinct, Bloodspot / Sable, Royal / Mono, Venom & Teal and straight up Venom. The availability of these will be a little more open-ended than typical SBTG releases, and with a price tag of $450.00.
Also available will be a monotone twist to the SBTG x Lazy Paramount Dunk, titled “White Noise”. This Dunk Low is adorned with premium Gucci selvage denim along with a black and white Palestinian Shemagh and a reptile-textured Swoosh. Both the SAWTOOTH and White Noise Dunk Lows are available on a made-to-order basis, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting your hands on a pair.
This time around, SBTG will be mixing up his selection with some 1 of 1s in the form of four Air Max 90s. Dubbed the “Shark Attack Air Max 90,” all four pairs feature similar designs to the SAWTOOTH Dunk Lows utilizing a teeth design, animal print and vivid colors. These will NOT be available on a made to order basis, so grab them while you can because once they are gone, they are gone.
This myriad of great designs fresh off the desk of SBTG are available now on RoyalFam’s Website, and be sure to peep all the rest of the designs after the jump.
