Nike Hypermax – Tennis Ball Pack @ House of Hoops Friday

bam — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:00:28 +0000

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.

Nike Zoom Kobe IV – Think Pink

Aaron Kr. — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:30:05 +0000

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.

Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III – Playoff Pack (POP)

Aaron Kr. — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:30:13 +0000

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

Color: Black/White-Varsity Red

Nike Women’s Aqua Woven ND – Yellow – Pink

Aaron Hope — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:00:56 +0000

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.

Style:354035-311
Color:Yellow/Pink

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.

Starks Laces – Solids Pack – Red – Purple – Tiffany

Aaron Hope — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:00:47 +0000

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.

Jim Jones in the Nike RT1 – DTLR Summer 2009 Photo Shoot

Aaron Hope — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 14:00:03 +0000

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.
