It is become safer and safer to say that no other single basketball silhouette has made a bigger splash on the hardwood floor this NBA season than the Nike Air Max Lebron VII. Because of the vast array of different colorways used on this basketball sneaker model and the plethora of events it has been used to commemorate, the Nike Air Max Lebron VII seems to always come up in sneaker conversation. Earlier in the season, Lebron James chose to display his basketball expertise while sporting a mismatching pair of Nike Air Max Lebron VII Hardwood Classics whose colorways were basically the inverse of each other (and happen to go pretty darn well with a Knicks jersey). We also saw him sport another Nike Air Max Lebron VII in a dark red hue that matched another one of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Hardwood Classic uniforms. Now we’d like to show you some up-close shots of all three Hardwood Classics mentioned here for your viewing pleasure. Should any of these see a release date at some future point in time, believe that SneakerFiles will keep you informed.

This week we caught wind of a return of the Nike Air Flightposite II in a limited edition metallic zinc colorway that got several basketball sneakerheads excited. We also received word of the official re-releasing of the ever-so-popular Nike Air Foamposite One Eggplant that last year also sent shoe fiends into a frenzy (yours truly included). Now we’d like to take the time to remind our readers that both of these Nike basketball silhouettes will be releasing in the mentioned colorways from select Nike retailers starting tomorrow, Saturday, March 6th. While the Nike Air Flightposite II releasing is retailing for $180 in adult sizes and should be worlds easier to get your hands on, the Eggplant Nike Air Foamposite One is going for the usual $200 price tag and will be much more difficult to get a hold of. Bottom line- plan ahead. Happy hunting!

2010 is seemingly shaping up to be a monumental year for Nike Penny fans. We’ve caught wind of plans to release sneakers such as an eggplant Nike Air Penny III and both the pearl and royal blue Nike Air Foamposite One. Perhaps you’re wondering what happened to the Nike Air 1/2 Cent. Well, wonder no more. Releasing during the 2010 holiday season will be two new pairs of the Nike Air 1/2 Cent that are both pictured here- cranberry and eggplant. Other than the seasonal approximation, no concreate release date is yet known for either pair but rest assured we’ll pass along any developing news once available. Which one of these two Nike Air 1/2 Cent colorways would you say looks better than the other?

In early January, we had our first look at the “Cool Grey/White” Nike Air Max LeBron 7, and we are now receiving word that the aforementioned sneakers have begun to arrive at selected Nike retailers. This pair yields a full cool grey upper with white accents seen on the flywire, midsole, swoosh, laces, air max bubble, and text on the rear panel. Overall, this Air Max LeBron VII has one of the simplest and cleanest colorways we have seen yet, but what do you think? How does this colorway stack up with some of the other recent releases, such as the Dunkman and Akron editions?

Though many of you may not remember, back in June of 2009, we showcased an early production sample of the “Aston Martin” Nike Hyperdunk, and we now have the entire package and more information to share. Nike will be releasing the Zoom Kobe V (5) and the Hyperdunk together; the Hyperdunk will host a metallic silver upper accented by a white swoosh, white flywire, and red inner lining, while the ZK5 will yield a dark grey upper with black, white, and red accents. The release details are not certain as of yet, so be sure to stay tuned for any new updates.

Just last Friday we brought you a look at two Player Exclusives of the Nike Zoom Kobe V- the Rice and Lower Merion high school pairs. While we’re still waiting on any official word regarding a release of those PEs, we now have release information for yet another Nike Zoom Kobe V colorway. Pictured here is the limited edition black/deep forest-varsity maize Nike Zoom Kobe V, which will release this Thursday, March 4th, from the Montalban Theatre in Hollywood, CA. With a predominantly black upper, this Nike Zoom Kobe V brings something new to the table by way of the deep forest color cues that can be seen in places like the Nike swoosh and shoe laces area. If you’re in the Hollywood area or are willing to make the necessary arrangements to be so, then you might want to know that the Montalban Theatre is located on 1615 Vine Street, Hollywood, CA 90028. You can drop by between 12 and 6 in the afternoon for a shot at purchasing a pair of these.

They’re baaaaaaaaaaack. The Nike Air Max Lebron VIIs have been talked about and covered ad nauseam. From the “Dunkman” to the “2010 All-Star Game,” Lebron is steady making his signature sneaker line with Nike more and more memorable as well as popular. Now the Fairfax high school basketball team in Los Angeles has received special consideration with the Nike Air Max Lebron VII PE pictured here. While the upper comes in predominantly white, you can see yellow and red accents in places such as the Nike swoosh and as alternate Flywire paneling colors. If any word surfaces regarding what would surely be a limited release anyway, we’ll be sure to bring you it. For now, enjoy pictures of this sneaker after the jump.

A few days after Valentine’s Day we brought you a look at the “Think Pink” Nike Air Max Hyperize that pays homage to the late Kay Yow and helps further breast cancer awarencess and research. Now we’d like to also show you a sneak peek at the metallic silver/volt colorway of the Nike Air Max Hyperize that is set to hit Nike retailers this summer, as early as June. The mix of metallic silver and bright volt makes this a particularly eye-opening silhouette colorway that should attract fans of either color. But how do you think this Nike Air Max Hyperize turned out? Check out a full picture preview of this sneaker after the jump.

Nike has released many all-pink sneakers in the past, and we now have a look at a Nike Hyperize Supreme decked out in a full pink patent leather and leather upper accented by a white midsole, white swoosh, and white laces. Nike is going even further with their service to Coach Kay Yow and the fight against cancer by donating a minimum of $2 to the Kay Yow/WCBA Cancer Fund to Support Breast Cancer Awareness and Research for each purchase of the “Coach Kay Yow” Nike Hyperize Supreme. This Hyperize is now available at select House of Hoops locations.

The Nike Hyperdunk was extremely successful and paved the way for the Nike Hyperize. Now that the Nike Hyperize is nearing the end of its reign, we have a look at the newest Nike Basketball sneaker that will hopefully continue the legacy of lightweight, yet dependable basketball sneakers. This colorway of the Hyperdunk 2010 is inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers away colors of purple, gold, and black; thus, this pair hosts a black base with purple accents seen on the swoosh and midsole, while yellow accents are visible via the midsole, ankle, and rear. Expect for the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 to release in the upcoming months.

Although this past weekend was all about the NBA All-Star festivities, for which Nike designed a special edition Western Conference Nike Zoom Kobe V, it is now back to your regularly scheduled 2009-2010 NBA season. To that extent, we have an update regarding the Nike Zoom Kobe V we showed you last week, which is designed to match the the Los Angeles Lakers’ home uniforms. The home Lakers edition of the Nike Zoom Kobe V comes in a white/del sol-grey-varsity purple colorway and is scheduled to release from participating Nike retailers such as Foot Locker locations nationwide in the month of April. Sitting as the favorites out west, don’t be surprised to see a bunch of Lakers sporting this colorway as they indeed try to bring another trophy home to Los Angeles. Will you be sporting the same sneakers?

As most sneakerheads can remember, Nate Robinson pulled out one of the most interesting colorways of the Nike Foamposite Lite ever witnessed last year, but this year, the reigning champ decided to rock a much simpler, Knicks-inspired version of the Nike Air Max Hyperize (seen after the jump). Though Robinson did not wear these sneakers, we have our first look at a Nike Hyperize that hosts the same “Kryptonate” colorway as last year’s model. This pair features a bright green upper with black accents and Nate’s “NR” logo on the tongue. Which pair do you prefer? Did Nate Robinson make the right choice to go with the simple and matching sneakers or should he have worn the much brighter “Kryptonate” Nike Hyperize?

Right before welcoming the new year and decade, we brought you word of a low-top Nike Lebron VII that sported a New York Knicks-esque colorway that on the bottom of the heel read “I (lion face) NY.” Understandably so, even just glancing at this shoe gave plenty of Knicks fans reason to hope and continue praying that the organization is able to land Lebron James come this next off season. Unlike its higher-top counterpart, the Nike Lebron VII low does not have the 360-degree Air Max unit- but does the colorway make up for the unit’s absence? Check out more detailed pictures of this Nike Lebron VII low sample after the jump.

When pictures of the Nike Air Max Lebron VII “Christ the King” PE hit the ‘net, many sneakerheads were once again blown away by the execution of yet another LBJ VII. But there is one popular colorway that had not been executed on this phenomenal basketball sneaker- until now. And those of you who are fans of the royal blue Nike Air Foamposite One should take a liking to what you see here. We have come across pictures of the University of Kentucky Player Exclusive Nike Air Max Lebron VII, in an appropriate varsity royal/black-white colorway. The upper appears covered in black nubuck, while it leads down to a patent leather varsity royal midsole and toe box area. And as for the the flywire panels- they include a white Nike swoosh outlined in blue. Is THIS now the best LBJ VII yet?!

Two weeks ago FootLocker offered us a single sneak peek at the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 in a comet red/white-del sol colorway. Still scheduled to release come summer time 2010, this Hyperdunk 2010 model was generally well-liked by those who chose to share their thoughts. Now we can bring you a full preview of this silhouette that’ll help you better decide how you feel about this sneaker. So enjoy the collection of pictures after the jump, and let us know if you’re still on/off the Hyperdunk 2010 boat.
