Nike Zoom Kobe V “Away” Detailed Pics

Posted: 18 Nov 2009 12:58 PM PST

Nike Zoom Kobe V "Away" Detailed Pics

Of the two production-ready colorways of the Zoom Kobe V we’ve seen thus far, the black and purple “Away” make-up is without a doubt the more subtle look. The “Chaos,” which we got a very detailed look at yesterday, was originally hated by many for its wild colors, but a portion of those same readers had their opinion swayed by the high quality photos. Will these photos give the same result?

We get a great look at the shiny purple reptile print that covers the toe area and Swoosh. The same print is also used in black for the tongue and very tip of the toe. The laces are two-color with black and yellow, somewhat similar to those we saw on the Zoom Kobe IV “Carpe Diem.” We get a great look at the matte finish of the toe and Flywire mid-panel, which contrasts against the shiny finish used elsewhere on the shoe.

Click here to see all the pics.

Nike Auto Flight High Black/Red

Posted: 18 Nov 2009 11:58 AM PST

nike-auto-flight-high-lead

The super high Nike Auto Flight High has been seen in a number of colorways since its release. This hybrid sneaker, mixing the Flight Lite High with a vulcanized sole, is coming in a black and red colorway, similar to the black and infrared pair we saw not too long ago, but these are even darker.

This pair features a black patent and red Safari upper, making sure they’re anything but subtle, despite their dark mostly black colorway. Safari print is used on heel and ankle support, as well as the mid-panel, while red woven material is used on the liner and tongue underside. Black patent leather is used throughout the remainder of the upper, including the toe and heel areas.

How do you feel about these Auto Flights? Head to the comments section and let us know.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Black/Black

Posted: 18 Nov 2009 11:28 AM PST

Nike Air Max LeBron VII

Three weeks ago, Foot Locker stated that Nike will unleash an all-black Nike Air Max LeBron VII dubbed the “Phantom” in December. However, we now know that there is no such LeBron VII dubbed the “Phantom” and that this particular sneaker, shown to the right, is the final product.

This black on black “Phantom” Air Max LeBron VII will officially release on December 17th, 2009. Therefore, you have a some big decisions to make this December (see Air Jordan 12 White/Red, Space Jam). Besides the all-black upper, this shoe also possesses metalliic gold accents in the form of the top laceholders and the LeBron logo on the heel panel. As stated earlier, look for this LeBron VII to hit retailers on December 17th, 2009. Click here to view detailed photos.

HUF x Reebok Pump

Posted: 18 Nov 2009 10:58 AM PST

HUF x Reebok Pump

The 20th anniversary collection of the Reebok Pump has given us some very nice color and material selections, ranging from ocean-inspired to snow-resistant. This next collaboration from the minds at HUF hits us just in time, as the release date is only days away.

A deep green-blue contrast black leather for the upper, while bright yellow works as a jump off. The latter hue is used on the toe’s contrast stitching and laces. Patterned wool is used on the upper ankle area, with a grey zig-zag running across it. Another look we haven’t seen yet is the splattered outsole, differentiating these further from other collabs we’ve seen thus far.

Jordan Spizike Black/Cement Grey Detailed Photos

Posted: 18 Nov 2009 10:28 AM PST

Jordan Spizike

If you recall, we got a glimpse of this Jordan Spizike Black/Cement Grey via Eddie Cruz’s Twitter account. Upon seeing this shoe the majority of you stated that it was somewhere at the top of your must-have list. It has been stated that this shoe will release in February 2010; meanwhile, check out detailed photos of this Spizike.

This Jordan Spizike is obviously inspired by the Air Jordan IV Black/Cement Grey. It features a predominately black upper with minimal red accents on the laceholders and sections on the outsole. The cement grey details appear on the straps and side wall. In addition, the inner lining ties back to the classic Mars Blackmon commercials. Could this be the best colorway seen on the Jordan Spizike yet? Click here to voice your opinion.

Nike Zoom Sharkalaid Rudy Gay & Deron Williams PEs

Posted: 18 Nov 2009 09:58 AM PST

Nike Zoom Sharkalaid Rudy Gay & Deron Williams PEs

Just last week we saw Deron Williams sporting some slick black Zoom Sharkalaids in our daily Kicks on Court feature. As a leading point guard in the NBA, it’s only right that he gets his own PE, if not a signature, and Nike has obliged him with these Zoom Sharkalaids, which are available now at House of Hoops locations. Another player who deserves and has received a PE? A guy by the name of Rudy Gay, whose dunks you can find on a near-nightly basis on ESPN highlight reels.

D-Will’s PEs feature a white and carolina blue make-up, matching the Jazz’s white uniforms. The icy blue sole is translucent, and the straps feature a weave of a similar colorway. For Rudy’s PE, the color-up is black, though the accents and designs throughout are nearly identical to the white pair we saw him wear on Media Day. Black patent leather makes up the majority of the upper, while yellow and light blue accent the Swoosh, straps and midsole.

Supra Skytop II Metallic Gold

Posted: 17 Nov 2009 12:58 PM PST

Supra Skytop II Metallic Gold

As if you expected anything else, the Supra Skytop II has proven to be a polarizing silhouette. Like the first go at the super high Skytop, this Supra has gained instant lovers and instant haters. The first look we got a few weeks ago was multiple shades of grey with hints of red, and this next pair jumped ahead with the outspoken colorways, using metallic gold for its upper.

These showed up on eBay recently, and unless you’re very tiny-footed, you’re out of luck on grabbing a wearable pair as they’re a size 6. The uppers are all metallic gold with hits of black on the midfoot and laces. Chad Muska’s name and “002″ appear on the Air Jordan 6-styled tongue, denoting that this is his second Skytop signature. Head to eBay if you’re looking to grab these.

Nike Air Max Rise Brandon Roy PEs

Posted: 17 Nov 2009 12:28 PM PST

Nike Air Max Rise

Earlier this month, we showed you the newly-designed Nike Air Max Rise in a white/black-blue color scheme, and there was both positive and negative remarks. Although this shoe doesn’t receive a lot of attention like the Hyperize or the Hypermax, is it suitable for you?

Nike will unleash Brandon Roy’s Nike Air Max Rise PEs later this month. Obviously, both colorways coincide perfectly with the Portland Trail Blazers. The ‘Away’ version features a predominately black-colored base with red accents, while the ‘Home’ version owns a mainly white-colored upper. In addition, its makeup details include a phylon midsole, a Max unit and a carbon weave in the heel. Click here to view detailed photo.

Nike Blazer High V Lux TZ

Posted: 17 Nov 2009 11:58 AM PST

Nike Blazer High V Lux TZ

Your grandpa would love the straps on these, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Velcro helps you avoid having to worry about tying these, and gives a whole new meaning to “staying strapped.” Nike’s next TZ Blazers are these High-top Lux models, meaning the leather is premium and full-grain.

Five velcro straps cross over the top of the standard Blazer silhouette, giving a very different look to these from your traditional laced model. The standard vulcanized sole has also been changed, as a different texture is used here, in a matching black hue. The last black Blazer we saw came in the HUF x Nike SB Capsule Collection, and it somehow could not have looked less similar. Which look do you prefer–All black or Americana?

Posted: 17 Nov 2009 11:28 AM PST

Reebok PUMP 20

Besides the plethora of collaborative Pumps we have seen over the past month, Reebok will unleash the original PUMP colorways at select Reebok retailers soon.

One pair will feature a predominately black premium leather base combined with white accents throughout the entire upper. Yet, its most evident features appear in the form of the basketball leather-colored accents, namely the timeless 'Pump' accent on the tongue. The remaining pair owns the same attributes, yet it is done up in a white/white color scheme. This pack will be available at 24 Kilates on November 20th, 2009. Click here to view detailed photos.

Nike Trainer 1 Troy Polamalu & Larry Fitzgerald PEs

Posted: 17 Nov 2009 10:58 AM PST

Nike Trainer 1 Troy Polamalu & Larry Fitzgerald PEs

You thought that Nike was going to make PEs for the NFL’s elite and leave out the two most dangerous players in the league? Leaving Larry “Fitz” Fitzgerald open anywhere on the field is a danger to your team. Crossing Troy Polamalu is just a danger to your health. Add these in with the Adrian Peterson PEs we saw some time ago, and it looks like the complete arsenal for Nike–land, air and D.

Fitz’s feature a red and white upper with the standard red Free and Air sole. Silver is also used on the midfoot and toe, and his number 11 appears near the heel. Just like Fitz himself, these PEs are understated and plain by receiver standards, but we all know about looks being deceiving. The Polamalu PEs feature the Steelers’ gold and black, as well as white. “Nike” appears in stencil lettering on the heels, adding to the blue collar work ethic of the city of Pittsburgh and their team. Both pairs are currently available on Nike.com.

Are these some of your favorite Trainer 1s?

Converse Skateboarding

Converse Skaetboarding has captured the eyes of many sneaker enthusiasts since photos first appeared on the web. Converse has now incorporated some of its skateboarding silhouettes in an upcoming collection alongside Thrasher.

To coincide with Thrasher’s new video dubbed “Prevent This Tragedy”, Converse created a few new designs using models such as the CTS OX and mid.

The Mid version features the words, Prevent this Tragedy on the sole. Available now at ConverseSkateboarding. Click here to view detailed photos.

Kicks/HI x Reebok Pump

Posted: 17 Nov 2009 09:58 AM PST

Kicks/HI x Reebok Pump

Hawaii’s resident sneaker palace Kicks/HI paired up with Reebok on their own Pump for the 20th anniversary, drawing inspiration for what surrounds them–literally. These Pumps use multiple shades of blue to pay tribute to the Pacific Ocean.

Officially, Kicks/HI is taking inspiration from the Hawaiian phrase “Mai Huli 'Oe I Kokua O Ke Kai,” which translates loosely to “Never turn your back on the ocean.” Multiple shades of blue, including patent navy around the toe, are used for the upper, as well as white, perfectly reflecting the look of a large wave. A gum outsole represents the sand of the beach under the waves. Like the others, these will drop in very limited quantity on November 21st, with 10 pairs going to the online store.

Favorite Pump collaboration yet? Head to the comments section and weigh in on these.
