Kobe will need to bounce back against the Thunder for Game 2 if he wants to keep this series competitive because thus far, the Thunder have the Lakers outmatched in almost every category. But don’t underestimate the Black Mamba, who has demonstrated a killer instinct and can become one of the most unstoppable forces from time to time. Kobe’s been bouncing back and forth between the Kobe VII Supreme and the higher-grade Elite in the Playoffs, but perhaps he’ll go with this Saturday’s release of the Concord/Cool Grey to mix it up a bit. The Lakers are indeed in dire need for some change, so hopefully a wardrobe change is all Kobe needed to get a different outlook on the game. More of this colorway below, so take a look and expect them this Saturday at Nike Basketball retailers like Social Status or right now on eBay.

Available alongside the White/Dark Obsidian colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Mid is this White/Vivid Orange Air Force 1 High.
Also decked out in white leather with a white rubber midsole, the kicks feature Vivid Orange accents on the nylon ankle strap, tongue tab branding, Swoosh, midsole branding and outsole.
Available for 0, these can also be copped from Nike Sportswear retailers like Foot Locker.
The Nike Zoom Solider VI continues LeBron’s team line in an aggressive and progressive manner. Blue and red based makeups point to jersey matching makeups, while big branding and top of the line technology maintains a competitive edge.

Before everyone asks; no these Nike/Cole Haan/Tom Sachs beauties will not be for sale. Made specially for the Tom Sachs ‘Space Program: Mars’ exhibition currently going on at the Armory in NYC, they are part of the official uniform for the “crew” working the “mission”. Overall the shoe is somewhat reminiscent of golfing footwear, with a waffled sole, perforated leather upper, & subtle Nike swoosh. Still, if any of these hit the market they’re sure to start a bidding war among collectors.

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.

Sneaker News hasn’t profiled a single new Air Force 1 Mid release since January, so not only is it great news that a new pair is dropping right now, but also that it’s being joined by another AF1 that’s likely the more popular silhouette. The Nike Air Force 1 Mid in white leather with select Dark Obsidian accents is blocked in the same pattern as a Vivid Orange-accented Air Force 1 High, both of which sport the Uptown’s most basic color-on-white scheme. These are indispensible summertime sneakers whose color pops only add wearability, and they’re available now from Foot Locker and their House of Hoops specialty locations.

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.

After recently creating a “Nerf” Nike LeBron 9 Low, Mache Custom Kicks is back with his latest creation.
Once again utilizing the low-top LeBron signature, Mache draped the kicks in the popular “Miami Nights” colorway of the low-top LeBron 8.
Enjoy this look at Mache’s latest work of art and stay tuned for more custom sneakers.
The label HUF is one that you’ve probably heard of – not just from sneaker circles, but among the most well-known skate/streetwear brands of the last generation. NYC-native Keith Hufnagel opened up HUF’s doors in August 2002 and has gone on to become one of the icons of the ‘collaboration’, working frequently with Nike on various footwear classics like the skate-equipped Dunk High and Air Trainer 1 as well as a few other Air Maxes while coining the term ‘Hufquake’ in the process. The debut of the HUF x Nike partnership was this memorable Air Max 1, which featured a Grey/Green colorway and Black/Green laces; the version you see here is a Hyperstrike/Friends & Family version with just 24 pairs in circulation, and featured a number of distinguishing features from the released version with the stitched San Franciscan skyline, the perforated leather toe-box, and the custom baseball-inspired insole.
Aside from the rare Hyperstrike version were a few scrapped samples that featured the same color-blocking, but with orange and pink instead of the Dark Apple green seen here – both of which continue to circulate and turn heads whenever they surface. HUF continues to be a mainstay in the apparel and footwear game with its original product line and ongoing collaborations with a slew of other footwear labels, so revisiting one of the earliest stateside Air Max 1 collaborations was certainly a no-brainer on our part. Continue reading for a detailed gallery of the HUF x Nike Air Max 1 and stay tuned to Sneaker News because we’ve got more AM1 classics headed your way!

Sneaker News just showed you a raging red colorway that’s coming up soon and now here comes the other Nike Zoom Solider 6 colorup we’d previewed in Monday’s first look. The Zoom Soldier VI looks so good in this combination of silver, black and blue that, judging by the earliest comments, might have those traditionally inclined to the Nike LeBron flagship series, to consider adding these to your rotation as well. They’ve got performance advantages from a Hyperfuse upper, Zoom Air-cushioned sole and the Soldier series’ signature robust ankle lockdown system, and you can see more details when you click on the jump below.

The Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy“, arguably one of the most talked about shoes of the year, has restocked at 21 Mercer…and is now sold out.
Earlier today, the NYC store tweeted very unexpected news about a restock of the limited signature basketball shoe. According to sources, a line formed by the dozes very shortly after the notification went public.
What are your thoughts on the 21 Mercer “Galaxy” foamposite restock? Share your thoughts or insight in our comment section below and stay tuned to Sneaker Files for more news and updates.
