Nike Vandal High ‘Elephant’ – Black/Mint/White
After making use of Jordan Brand’s signature elephant print on numerous model Nike has finally incorporated the pattern into a pair of Nike Vandals. If we aren’t mistaken this is the first time Nike has incorporated the use of the elephant pattern on the Vandals. The upper features black leather on the frontal and lace panels, ballistic mesh on the toe-box and mid-panels, and a tonal black elephant pattern on the heel panel. Accenting the black upper are hits of light mint on the heel tab, on the strap and acting as an outline around the black Nike Swoosh. The sole unit is constructed from a white mid-sole, black mid-sole stitching and a light mint outsole.

Nike Air Trainer SC – Black/Green
Trainer fans and Bo Jackson fans alike have all welcomed the return of the Nike Air Trainer SC. Besides for releasing OG versions Nike is also introducing some new color schemes on the Air Trainer SC. One such colorway which is planned to drop in the near future is this black and green colorup. The upper has an entirely black base which has been accented with hits of green on the lace eyelets, Nike Swoosh, within the visible air unit, around the top of the tongue and on the tongue tag branding, and finally outlining the Nike branding on the heel of the shoes. Brighten up the sneakers just a tad is a white mid-sole.
The Nike Air Trainer SC – Black/Green is expected to be available at select Nike retailers at the beginning of 2010.
NJ Skateshop x Nike SB ‘NJ/USA’ Dunk High
NJ Skateshop has provided us with a sneak peek of the upcoming Nike SB ‘NJ/USA’ Dunk High. The sneakers are seen sporting a color combo of grey, black, red and white with a red/white stripped pattern around the ankle and heel section. Due to the low resolution of the photo i cant quite make out at this time what exactly the material used on the upper is but the red Nike Swoosh almost appears to look like felt.
Although the sneakers are still in the sample stages NJ Skateshop has informed us that the Nike SB ‘NJ/USA’ Dunk High will officially release on July 4th, 2010. Keep it locked to Sneaker Obsession for further details and pictures.
Nike Air Max Lebron VII ‘NY Yankees’
Since the Yankees are “in it again” as they say, winning their 27th World Series Championship, the first one in 9yrs and the first one won at home in 10yrs, Yankee fever is defiantly in the air all around the country. Today the New York Yankees took the Canyon of Heroes in NYC for a long overdue parade that many of us have been waiting 9yrs for.
When the parade was all said and done and Mayor Bloomberg handed out keys to the city Yankees such as Alex Rodriguez and CC Sabathia made their way down to the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden to watch Lebron James take on the NY Knicks for his only game this year to be played in the Garden. Just for the record, Lebron laid down 33 points leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 100-91 victory over the New York Knicks.
For those not in the know Lebron James not only loves the city of New York but hes also a big time Yankees fan. In honor of his all-time favorite baseball team winning their 27th Championship Lebron and Nike had designed this special version of the Air Max Lebron VII White/Midnight Navy. On the toe of the right sneaker theres detailing of pinstripes, baseball stitches and the number “27″ in gold. The toe of the left sneaker has the same pinstripes and baseball stitches, however the “27″ has been swapped for “New York”.
We highly doubt these will ever be released to the public and will only end up in the collection of Lebron James himself. Click here to check out a few more pictures of the sneakers and stay tuned for any further info that may surface about the Nike Air Max Lebron VII ‘NY Yankees’.
Nike Hyperdunk Low – Official Pictures
Back in June we showed you the Nike Hyperdunk Low ‘McFly’ in the form of a catalog scan and just a few months after that in September we followed up with some more catalog scans of the Hyperdunk Low in various colorways.
Finally we can now present you with some images of the actual sneakers in the flesh giving you a better feel of what the sneakers look like compared to the 2D catalog images. The pair shown here features a white, black and red color scheme with a speckle design added to the midsole, a feature we have seen on every Hyperdunk Low preview thus far. Something about the sneakers which strikes me as odd is the fact that the lateral part of the upper uses Nike’s signature Flywire Technology while the inner side of the upper does not and opts to use perforated paneling instead. In my personal opinion it just doesnt seem to flow well. To each their own though.
Click here to check out a couple more pictures of the Nike Hyperdunk Low and stay tuned for further details and images of upcoming releases. Expect the low top Hyperdunk to hit retailers during the Spring of 2010. Via: Kenlu
Manny Pacquiao x Nike Trainer 1 – White/Red/Blue – A Closer Look
Yesterday we showed you a new upcoming colorway of the Manny Pacquiao x Nike Trainer 1 in a slick lookin white/red/blue color scheme. Due to the low resolution of the image and not being able to blow it all that much without distorting it, we were unable to see the detailing that that been put into the sneakers.
Now thanks to KingCrux we can do just that thanks to some new images being provided of the sneakers. From our understanding this version of the Nike Trainer 1 has been designed in honor of Manny’s upcoming fight against Miguel Cotto on November 14th, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Manny and Miguel are both respected prize fighters in their countries, Manny from the Philippines and Miguel from Puerto Rico, and this upcoming match between the two has sparked a war between the two nations. To represent his homeland of the Philippines Manny designed his sneakers in a colorway resembling that of the Philippines flag. Finer details come into play on the heel panel and along the toe by the means of laser etched graphics.
No official release date has been announced at this moment but seeing as how the Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto match is coming up a week we would believe the release is not to far away. Stay tuned for further details and click here for another look at the shoes.
