Nike Air Max LeBron 9 (IX) New Detailed Pics

Just yesterday pictures surfaced all over the internet about these Lebron 9's. At first glance they look almost exactly like an HyperDunk to us with the LBJ V3 outsole. From the pictures you can clearly see they are rolling with the Zoom in the front and Air Max unit in the heel just like the V3. We are thinking that Lebron's team just like the Jordan, is trying to put more of that focus on performance more so than lifestyle with this years signature sneaker. We are still reserving judgement on these until we see them in person. Stick with us because we are sure to show you possible video once it appears with the back story and all the performance breakdown on these 9's.

Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low ‘Miami Night’

Images hit the web earlier today and it comes as no surprise that MS has the early pictures of them. These "Miami Night" LBJ 8 lows are looking fresh in our opinion. We don't know yet if these are going to be as hyped as the "Sprite" that released last month but these will definitely be a neck breaker. Stick with us for more info on these as price and release date surface.

Nike SB Koston 1 x Kobe Bryant QS Release Info

Remember that we reported on this collaboration back over a month or so ago? Well, the Staple Center in Cali is apparently not the only place you had to be to grab a pair. NIke SB is deciding to release a "unknown" amount of these to the general public at select NIke SB Quickstrike accounts. Check with your local skate shop to see if it's on the agenda. Apparently these should start hitting those stores over the next week or so.

Converse to Use Flywire in Upcoming Releases

In case you didn't know Converse is a Nike subsidiary...so don't think that they were trying to jack the technology. HA. Converse is trying to bring back their performance lineup this year with somewhat of a twist. They have reached out to the better half and will soon release a select lineup of basketball shoes with the flywire technology embedded on them. Hard to tell at this point what the actual shoes will look like or even if the performance will match what's currently out on the market now. If Nike has their hand in it there is a possibility. Stick with us as more details develop around what all this will intel. For now we here at SSD are reserving our judgement until we can get more information out on these!

Nike SB P-Rod V – New Images

Surely more pictures with these will arise and when they do we will have them for you. If you can remember the post we put up around Eric Koston 1st branded skate shoe with the lunar technology incorporated, it comes as no surprise the P.Rod is following that same direction. We see a chocolate upper with a white midsole and what appears to be a "gum sole" outsole...WOW! Looking very similar to the Koston with the exception of the upper was minor adjustments. Stay tuned as we get more detailed shots as they hit the internetz.

Nike WMNS Air Max 1 – Light Blue – White

Perfect for the summer months and could not have dropped in a better colorway. Air Max 1 will always be that iconic sneaker and the streetz won't get tired of it no matter how many colors drop.

Tomorrow Eric Koston will release his 1st debut sneaker with Nike. This particular pair Eric team up with Kobe Bryant to make the upper similar to Kobe 6 sneaker. Not only will this sneaker be limited to only "24 pair" (Kobe Jersey #)but they will only release in the Nike Vault inside of the Staples Center. No exact word yet on how much these will cost exactly but we are sure the reseller prices will be through the roof. The Kobe Bryant x Nike SB Koston One comes with a custom humidor including signature Nike Eric Koston golf balls and a suede sleeper.

NIKE ZOOM KOBE VI “CAMO” KHAKI/OLIVE

Even thought the Lakers got swept from the playoffs does not mean that Kobe Bryant and team are taking any days off from his sneaker release. These are a switch up to the colors that were put out in the past by keep the color scheme real Call of Duty like! HA. Expect these khaki/olive color 6's to release one June 4th (same day as true blue 3's) for $130. We actually like what they did with this color mockup seeing as how we aren't huge fans of camo.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI FC Barcelona Pack (Euro Release Today)

Nike Air Foamposite One Electric Green Release Reminder

Just a heads up that select House of Hoops locations are going to be releasing the black/electric green foamposite this Thursday May 19th. Retail will more than likely be $200 and word on the street is that quantities should be decent enough for them not to sell out in the first hour like past releases. With so many shoes coming out over the next few weeks are you thinking about dropping the cash or are you going to hold out for now?

ShoeZeum Tour ‘Golden Ticket’ Auctions on eBay

We decided to post this up because one it's going to a really great cause, and two...this is a perfect example of really taking the sneaker game to another level. If you don't already know by now Jordan Geller (Guy holding the dog) took years and years building up his very own sneaker paradise in a warehouse in San Diego. It's been dubbed the "ShoeZeum" because it's pretty much made of everything NIke including Jordan numbered series line up shoes, Nike SB, Runners, OG trainers, and the list goes on. The unique thing about his collection is that he has created these "themed displays" for almost every sneaker he owns and the displays flow right with the respective shoe.

This warehouse was recently visited by some of Nike higher ups like Nike CEO Mark Parker and design mastermind Tinker Hatfield just to name a few. Only a select few groups of people have been invited to visit the ShoeZeum until now. And now for the first time ever, you just might be able to do that. Sneakernews dubbed Jordan the "Willy Wonka" of the shoe game and from that idea five “golden tickets” have been produced granting entry to The ShoeZeum for the winner and a guest. First auction for the tickets went up on Ebay yesterday and all the proceeds will go to the LiveStrong foundation due to the fact that Jordan is pro Nike. The rest of the auction will go up throughout the week.

The five winners and their guests will be invited to enjoy a one of a kind private tour of The ShoeZeum at 7pm on May 21st, so if you have some change saved up you might want to get in on this once in a lifetime experience. Peep the video below and CLICK HERE to find out more info on the auction.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI "Metallic Silver"

While the rest of the internet is calling these the "Cool Grey" Kobe 6's they are in fact metallic silver. Expect these to drop sometime within the next 30 to 45 days as the Lakers make their way through the playoffs and to the finals. HA. Peep the detailed shots below and let us know what you think. Clean colorway for the summer months.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro Retro Black

Expect Nike and the foamposite movement to not slow down at all this year. We showed you early sample pics of these last year and now have better shots that popped up online over the last few days. These are scheduled to release sometime this summer but nothing official has been confirmed on it's actual release. Stick with SSD for more information on these as we get it. For now let us know below what you think of this colorway.

Nike Air Force 1 High Foamposite – White

Nike doing the Air Fore 1 foamposite theme all over again this year seems to still be catching some fire. If you can remember almost this time last year Nike previewed the Silver High, then Black High late summer/fall, winter released the "Kobe" versions in the High/Low, and now we see a all white version appear. No official word yet on when these will release but the entire upper is constructed of foamposite material with a clear translucent blue midsole/outsole. Retail will more than likely still be @ that $200 price point when they release and we would still expect quantities to be limited to select retailers. Just in time for summer maybe??

Nike Air Foamposite Black/Green Ice Release Date Info

We showed you pics of these a little over a month ago just shortly after the pewter foams released. Word is that this will be a House of Hoops only exclusive and the release date it May 19th. If anything changes between now and then I will definitely make sure to keep the streets posted, for now...make sure to stack that cheese for this release.

Nike Air Yeezy 2 @ Coachella!

So let the Yeezy hype train continue!!! So as most people here in the D stayed up late watching a grainy youtube stream of Kanye performing @ Coachella it seems he made yet another debut of this year hyped up release...The Yeezy 2. We first gave you screen shots just like every other blog and website out these on the internetz during Nike small short story of the The Black Mamba. Apparently the people that we actually in the crowd were a good distance away hence the somewhat blurred pics. We here at SSD are sure that more pics will surface in the next hours or so and Yeezy 2 will be the talk of the town in the am. We still are reserving judgement for the actual public release photos....these shots at least give us some clue as to what to look for in the near future...maybe!

Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Space Jam’ – May 2011

When we first caught wind of Nike SB putting out their version of the "space jam" inspired SB we were a little skeptical. Now that better pictures have surfaced these don't look half bad at all. All black mesh upper, white midsole, icy outsole, touches of blue and Nike even keep similar round laces like the Space Jam 11 has. These will hit SB accounts as a quickstrike for May...expect them not to last on shelves. Thoughts?
