Nike Air Max Lebron VIII New ImagesThe Air Max Lebron VIII images had popped up quite some time ago in both an all white and black/red version. Afterwards we heard nothing about his new signature.

Today we have a look at not one, but two new versions of LBJ’s 8th signature sneaker.

Queen King James was spotted wearing an all black pair of Air Max Lebron VIIIs that had no Flywire on any part of the shoe. While the Queen’s King’s Manager, Maverick, was seen with a low top version draped in navy blue.

Let us know what you think and view more images after the jump.

Air Jordan II Retro GS – Lavender/Deep Purple/Del Sol

Most Air Jordan retro releases this year got much hype leading up to the release date. Some Jordans such as the White/Turquoise/Lemon colorway of the Air Jordan IX Retro went unnoticed this year. Well here we get a look at an Air Jordan II Retro GS that also went unnoticed and is available now. This Air Jordan II Retro GS comes in a Lavender/Deep Purple/Del Sol colorway. The shoe sports a nubuck upper which is covered with a cool shade of lavender. Deep purple appears on the trim, inner lining and the eyelets. A nice glittery speckling treatment is featured on the shoe laces, while the midsole is done up in a glossy coat. Another great colorway for the little feet. Available now at Jordan Brand retailers.

Nike Air Max Uptempo ‘97 – Red/Black

The Nike Air Max Uptempo III is returning, but with a new name. The Nike Air Max Uptempo III is now known as the Nike Air Max Uptempo ‘97. Take a look at this latest Nike Air Max Uptempo ‘97 as it comes in a Red/Black colorway. This colorway is just so nice. The two toned design really makes this shoe a great one. Red foamposite material covers the entire upper, while the same hue is seen on the toe, heel and the Air Max unit. Black is used on areas such as the midsole, inner lining, tongue and the shoe laces. Other features include a semi translucent outsole and a full length Air Max unit. These are available now at select Nike retailers. Make sure you check out more images after the jump.

Nike Air Diamond Turf – Black/Teal/White

No one really saw this coming. Many were caught by surprise when they found out that this Nike Air Diamond Turf will return in 2010. This Black/Teal/White colorway of the Air Diamond Turf is an original, so these won’t be on the shelves too long. This colorway of the Nike Air Diamond Turf released in 1994 and hasn’t since returned. This pair features a black nubuck upper, with the same black covering the outsole and inner lining. White is put into use on the strap and mudguard, while the latter area sports metallic gold. Teal accents appear on the heel, toe, tongue and the Nike swoosh on the strap. This is one of the classics, so don’t sleep on these. You can pick up a pair now at select Nike retailers.

Jordan Alpha Trunner University Blue / Black / White

Jordan Alpha Trunner University Blue / Black / WhiteThe Jordan Alpha Trunner has a new colorway and is readily available at Finishline now.

This is an enhanced version of the first Jordan Tunner and aesthetically looks almost the same as the original.

The lightweight mesh upper on this pair is university blue, black and red accents look surprisingly good and they sit atop a white, and thick, phylon midsole for great cushion. If you are training or just running some errands, these will suit you just fine.

Anyone planning on picking up a pair?

Nike Air Diamond Turf Black / White-Teal

Nike Air Diamond Turf Black / White-TealNike has been bringing out a ton of retro models lately. Most of these, if not all, are from the 90’s era. This is a true testament to the fact that during the late 80’s through the 90’s we had the best run of sneakers being released with hardly any ‘bad’ shoes being designed.

The Nike Air Diamond Turf has just released not too long ago and now we have a look at the second release from this sneaker, in another OG colorway.

These stay pretty true to the OG model with the exception of a logo here and there. Black nubuck on the upper, white leather wraps itself around the shoe and is greatly complimented with teal accents.

Who is planning on picking these up?

Nike Air Max Uptempo 97 Quickstrike Urban Federation

Nike Air Max Uptempo 97 Quickstrike Urban FederationWhen we first reported on the Nike Air Max Uptempo 97 ‘Urban Federation’ all we had was a sample image. Today we have clear images of the sneakers as well as the t-shirt to match.

The final product is much different than the first image we all had seen. The upper features entire red upper and red accents with a black midsole, tongue and sock liner. Again Nike decided to top it all off with a clear outsole with a foggy hue to it.

These will release soon as a QS at select Nike retailers.

Nike SB Blazer x Michael Lau, Unreleased Sample

It cannot be denied that Nike SB and Michael Lau have surely made numerous collaborations in the previous years. But this specific pair that you will see is somehow a secret pair since this is a sample that was never released. Most of you would remember the sneaker pair of Nike SB Blazers that Michael Lau made with Nike not so long ago. This came also with a special edition box. These shoes are all new in looks now and impressive in its own right.

These have uppers in predominant white color with red accents all throughout the rest of the portion. Hence, the white is accentuated well with the red color that makes it look very pleasing and will surely make you wonder why it was never released. What we think is that maybe Michael Lau was not so satisfied with the colors himself and so he decided not for Nike to release it.

Converse Chuck Taylor Nylon All Star Pack

You would really find it amazing at times when you realize that Converse has been doing Chuck Taylor since 1917. This makes it just a few years younger than being considered 100 years in production. At one point, these shoes remain unchanged especially with its basic features and designs. It has even managed to stay essentially modern regardless of how many trends and seasons have passed. This is really an impressive feat for any sneaker brand to accomplish. Hence, on our end as sneaker fanatics and reviewers, we are proud to say and announce always new versions that come up for the Chuck Taylor. Today, we will be looking at the brand new Converse Chuck Taylor Nylon All Star Pack.

This brand new pack is made up of two sneakers that are made up of nylon. It somehow resembles the flight jacket and they will soon be available in military green or black colors.

For an ameliorated look that also comes with improved performance, this brand new shoe will be seen in its 2010 caliber.

This Nike ACG Air Mada 2K10 has a very specific assembly of colors and materials used. It has mixed black, purple and tan. It uses tan nubuck along its mudguard all through the center of the toe down to its heel panel. Its black accents bring forth a strong image along with its rugged appearance. The purple is the color that hits the swoosh, the lace hoops and the mesh side panel along with its collar. The entire unit resembles the glow that the northern lights can bring you.
