Don’t you just love seeing a kid pass by rocking a dope pair on their feet?  Or for you older cats out there, you know you can’t help but make sure your youngin’s stride is rite.  Nike’s knows they can’t leave out the smaller feet of the globe, in this case making a grade school Very Berry pack.  The Air Max 90 and Blazer get black nubuck contrasted with a tonal flannel for the upper, while the accents take on the (rasp)berry colors.  Subtle gold accents can be found for that additional youthful flare.  Now available at most Nike retailers, but you can also try your luck on eBay.  Photos via shaolin8

These Home Edition’s aren’t anything new, being that we’ve already gone into depth on the complete triad of gradient Kobe 4’s.  Or maybe you’ve just caught a few glimpses of Kobe rocking them himself while watching a Lakers game. Nonetheless, these are a great addition to the Kobe line, sporting home colors in a beautiful gradient on the upper and even on the laces. Just in case you haven’t copped yet, check out eBay to scoop up a pair now. Photos via dynastykicks23.

The Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) has yet to hit retailers and already one of its most important colourways has already slipped out of Beaverton.  Eschewing last year’s Joker motif in favor of a colourway that more closely matches the Lakers’ purple and gold, this year’s Chaos ZK5 adds off-tone purple laces with red dots for that crazy look.  It’s a controlled insanity that’s enhanced by all of the crazy reptile embossing covering this pair.  You can grab the sample in US mens size 9 from el-store on eBay or wait for them to drop at select retailers such as FootLocker on December 26th.

Kobe Bryant wore these on opening night when his Lakers beat their ‘roommates’ and now you can wear them with whomever you live.  The Nike Zoom Kobe IV ‘4 Rings’ edition hearkens back to the MVPuppets campaign from last spring’s NBA Playoffs, combining the Lakers’ primary colours in a gradient to celebrate the title.  You can get yours today from RMK on eBay.

‘Plethora’ is one of those words that is literally used incorrectly more than in the intended way.  With the Nike Zoom Kobe IV colourways, though, we really do have an overabundance.  There have been nearly as many blocking patterns as games over the past year for the hardest working man in basketball and now the LA Lakers’ purple and gold has spilled over onto these Nike Air Force 1 Lows.  Apparently there was only a little of each hue to go around, since these are limited to a GS-sized run, but the Kobe signature-laden small sneakers are available now from ID4Shoes on eBay.

It started with the surprise release of of a Nike Air Max 97 and with yesterday’s unannounced Big Nike Low, it seems that the Spike Lee Pack is again without warning.  These might not actually ever make it to retail shelves, but it’s not because the Nike Air Safari 87s pictured above are too crazy for release.  They stay pretty close to the OG colourway (*note that the LIVESTRONG box does not indicate an affiliation with that collaction), removing all orange and adding the signature spectacled tongue tag to remind us of the Mars Blackmon character that made Air Jordan advertising so innovative and entertainment back in the day.  You can cop this sample in US mens size 9 from verbdws on eBay.

If the Nike Air Max Burst ever ascends to the heights of contemporaries like the Air Max 1 and AM90, it will probably take a special promotion.  While there’s probably nothing on the order of Nike SB in the wings that could raise this retro runner to new heights, a spot on the LIVESTRONG roster certainly wouldn’t hurt.  It looks like these will never hit retail shelves, but that dope yellow-on-black design should have smaller feet, Steelers fans and sneakerheads of all stripes curious to cop these from verbdws on eBay.

If the colourway for this latest Nike Blazer Mid seems familiar, you might have last year’s Urban Night Pack in mind.  Those three sneakers were all from Nike ACG and laid neon accents atop black bases to great effect.  This ND release (notice the slimmed down sole and fabric ‘foxing’ strip) is done in a rough suede with bright pink and blue hits dropping in on the UV party.  Cop yours today from 95Soleman on eBay.
