The iconic Bruin basketball silhouette has been co-opted by Nike Sportswear, but let’s not forget which Swoosh division initially resurrected this 1972 classic. Its timeless lines have aged well in forty years of service, but we’re still waiting for a ruby anniversary colorway, as this new Nike SB Zoom Bruin goes in the opposite direction, opting for a nearly ‘blank’ appearance where a grey leather Swoosh tops Swan suede–exactly the kind of thing you need to round out your summertime sneaker rotation. The SB-exclusive Zoom Air-embedded insoles make these an extra comfy ride with super boardfeel thanks to a traditional vulc sole, and they’re available now at a store whose name describes their own status within the Mitten: Premier.

Anything bearing the name of super-skater Eric Koston should be firmly rooted in the Nike SB realm right? Well not exactly, as a handful of sigs are being pulled up from that sub-categorization and wiped of their SB branding, this particular model being one of them. Not that the Nike Zoom Koston 1 needs any fancy logo hits to make it stand out, as in this case a beautifully pure white upper and a classic gum sole do the trick just fine. Click through for the full angles and let us know in the comments how you feel about the reorganizing of the Nike SB range, also make sure to hit up the team at Premier to grab this Nike Zoom Eric Koston now.

When you first take a look at this new Nike SB Dunk Low do any particular colorways from the SB heritage come to mind? The community seems a bit split on that, with some calling to the similar blocking to the ‘J-Pack’ Dunks of old and others seeing more in common with the ‘Tiffany’ strictly in terms of colors used. Either way, one thing that we should be able to come to a consensus on is that they are quite the summer sneaker, a potent pair thanks to the simple two-tone look on top that relies on an accenting shade from the Nike SB range that is just starting to make moves. Click through for a detailed look at the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro in black/clear jade and grab a pair now from Premier.

While P-Rod is undoubtedly the resident Michael Jordan fanboy amongst the Nike SB team riders, there’s no doubt that the rest of them are familiar with his legacy both on-court and on-feet. Perhaps hinting at that is this new colorway of the Nike Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid (notice the Nike SB nomenclature getting left in the dust), with a black and red pairing that may not be of the varsity persuasion but feels a little MJ nonetheless. If you like what you see above then stick around after the jump to get a better look at this new release, which can be found now at the likes of MIA Skate Shop and other fine retailers.

Actress Olivia Wilde graced the these pages just last week in the celebrity column, showing up in an Air Jordan selection we suspected was aided by her significant other, SNL member and bonafide sneakerhead Jason Sudeikis. Wilde is here again, but this time around her sneakers are rather tame, with Sudeikis being the focus in his choice from out of the Nike SB vault in the form of Cascade pair of ‘Hemp’ Nike SB Dunk Lows – part of the original SB Dunk ’4/20′ release that appeared in 2004. Hit the jump for some more shots of Sudeikis strolling around in these Nike SB classics and let us know what else you think he has in the stash in the comments below. Photos: JJ

While Nike SB is backing down a bit on the 4/20 releases, they clearly have no qualms about doing tie-in colorways paying tribute to specific varieties of a different, and wholly legal mind altering substance. The latest pair to add to that hallowed tradition aims for a bit of a classier beverage than those included in last month’s ‘Beer Bottle’ pack, evoking the crushed velvet bag of-age folks prone to Crown Royal should be familiar with. Along with the purple suede upper the sneaker is punched up a bit with gold touches on the Swoosh and other accents to make the ‘royal’ aspect that much more evident. Stay with us after the jump for the full shots and be on the lookout for the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Crown Royal’ at accounts like Premier now.

We don’t expect a Party Down collabo any time soon (though a third season would be nice), so get ready for what should be the ultimate finale for this saga surrounding a former premium cable comedy hit. The Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Nontourage’ takes its name and appearance from the ‘Lights Out’ edition created for the cast and crew of HBO’s ‘Entourage’ in celebration of the show’s final season, but unlike the friends & family edition, these lack any tongue or insole branding to reflect a Time Warner collabo. The blacked-out Elephant print atop a gum sole is still intact, though, and that pretty well ensures these will quickly sell out (already gone from Encino, CA’s Primitive) when they arrive as a Quickstrike ‘Below the Line’ release at other select Nike SB retailers. Check with your local SB spot for details on when these new arrivals will be hitting the shelves.

Hints of Nike Skateboarding collaboration with American fashion staple Levi’s began spilling out after Omar Salazar sent a cryptic close-up of the back-tab of a pair of jeans, and after reporting the official July 4th release date in mid-April, today we have a detailed look at the Nike SB x Levi’s 511 Jeans. These are crafted in classic Levi’s style in the 511 cut (which Levi’s already has a Skate sub-label for) in a rigid black wash colorway, sized 32 x 32. No confirmation or updates regarding a possible footwear tie-in to the Nike SB x Levi’s collaboration, but perhaps a small capsule of skate gear? Check out the detailed shots below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates on this unique partnership, and if you want to cop these samples, these are up for sale right now from jojotanjaya on ISS.
