Nike Lunar Hypergamer White/Gorge Green & White/Midnight Navy

Nike Basketball went elbow deep into a grab bag of tech for the newest addition to the lineup, the Lunar Hypergamer. With a bulky Lunarlon midsole bolstered by a standard herringbone outsole, the base for the Hyperfuse upper is definitely solid. We checked out two sick, camo-covered colorways last month, and now two more team-friendly looks have landed in stores. These Midnight Navy and Gorge Green-highlighted colors are available now at Eastbay for $110.

White/Gorge Green-Lucky Green (469756-102)
White/Midnight Navy-Cool Grey (469756-101)

My 5: Casey Veggies' Sneaker Rotation

Who's really wavy? Casey Veggies, that's who. The 18-year-old MC has caught the attention of Jay-Z, torn up tracks with Tyler the Creator, and boasts Kevin Durant as a fan. Despite the flattering co-signs the un-signed rapper is as independent as they come. Raised in Inglewood but immersed in the Fairfax scene, Casey grew up hooping, skating, and rapping. You couldn't compose a better Venn diagram for a sneakerhead and with such a pedigree comes diverse taste. Read on to see what the Peas & Carrots rapper is rocking.

Casey Veggies: “I picked those up when they dropped. I love performing in those. I haven't hooped in the True Blues but I wear them out. I've always loved the retro Jordans, I had the retro 12s when I was like 8 years old.”

In Retrospect: Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl”

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 11:46 AM PDT

If you recall, the “Pearl” Nike Air Foamposite Pro first re-released in 2009 to many people’s excitement; however, at the time, it was a very limited release seeing that Nike only stocked it in various House of Hoops retailers nationwide. Therefore, Nike again released this shoe last September; this time, they made it more widely available and gave everybody an opportunity at one of the better Foamposite Pro colorways to date.

Were you able to get your hands on the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl”, and was it worth the money you paid for it? If not, are you wishing you would have snagged them last September? Lastly, was this one of your favorite Foamposite releases of 2010? Let us know your thoughts on the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl” in the comment section below.

If you thought 2011 was a great year for sneaker collectors and sneakerheads, wait until you hear what’s in store for 2012. With the Air Jordan 4 White/Cement Grey-Black already confirmed as an early February release, it comes as no surprise that Jordan Brand will continue to release Air Jordan 4 colorways later in 2012. We have just confirmed through sources at NT that the Air Jordan 4 Military Blue/White will also be returning next year. This is great news as it has been nearly five years since we last saw this colorway hit shelves. Will this be a purchase you make ?

Jordan Melo M8 “Blackout”

Posted: 02 Sep 2011 09:56 AM PDT

Jordan Melo M8 "Blackout"

Carmelo Anthony was heavily involved in this year’s Future Sole Competition; he specifically chose the winning design, a version of the Jordan Melo M8 designed by Nick Daiber of Highland, IL. While we await detailed photos of the winning creation, a shot of the Jordan Melo M8 “Blackout” has surfaced on the web. It features a healthy dosage of patent leather and Flywire on the upper, with the latter technology smothering the entire side panel. Jordan Brand also incorporated visible Zoom Air in the forefoot. Stay tuned for more photos and information regarding the Jordan Melo M8.
