Many sneaker fans were and continue to be excited about the Nike Max Lebron VII “Red Carpet” colorway, which we just informed you would be restocked in early December. For those of you who are not only sneakerheads, but also sneakergeeks, a few pictures have surfaced online that might be of interest to you. Pictured here is the original Z-Corp 3D Resin model of the “Red Carpet,” which basically is the final product’s “floorplan,” if you will. It’s a computerized sample of the shoe that aids in the design process by giving designers a glimpse of what the color blocking and scheme might look like before it goes into production. Jason Petrie, the designer of the Red Carpet Lebron VII, forwarded the fact that Lebron had asked for a pair to be designed specifically for the red carpet unveiling of the “More Than a Game” movie. And the rest is history.

Towards the end of October we were able to bring you word of the 202 House of Hoops exclusive Nike Zoom Skyposite made in a nice colorway and sporting a healthy mix of materials. The next Skyposite we’re showing you now is one that the Nike team designed specifically for the New Jersey Nets’ forward Yi Jianlian. The tongue sports a red “Yi,” while very few other blue and red accents contribute to a silhouette that sports a predominantly white base. Ironically enough, these look like a pair of shoes that the USA Olympic basketball team might wear the next time its called upon to dominate the rest of the world. You can check out more pictures of this Player Exclusive after the jump.

In the first week of November we showed you three pairs of the Nike Court Force high that also released during the month. Now, we show you some of what Nike has in store for the future of the Court Force. Reportedly releasing some time between the 2009 holiday season and Spring 2010, here are two pairs of the Nike Court Force high that each sport nubuck material. One pair sports black nubuck material near the toe area, with white and carolina blue making up the rest of the shoe’s colorway. The second pair dons dark grey nubuck in the same area as the first pair, with red and black completing that colorway. And both pairs include a grid patterning near the ankle area, which resembles the pattern recently seen on another Court Force. Which pair of these two Nike Court Force highs do you think works the nubuck material better?

The Nike Terminator is among the shoe products that Nike has paid much attention to in 2009. From hybrids to collaborations, many different pairs of the Nike Terminator have been worked on and made their way into production. Now, Nike is choosing the same silhouette and catering more to the women with this “day & night” collection that consists of two pairs of the Terminator high. One pair sports a black leather upper, perforated Nike swoosh, purple outsole, fur ankle lining, and extended shoe laces that tie around the ankle. The second pair sports a black suede upper with a gold and silver studded belt that wraps around the ankle. These have begun popping up at very select Nike retailers only. So which pair of the Nike Terminator high do you think wins out in this collection?

Another colorway for the classic Air Force silhouette has released from Nike for their Holiday 2009 season. Nike dished out a new Nike Air Force 1 ‘07 in a simple shadow grey/anthracite-white colorway. The Nike Air Force 1 utilizes a shadow grey leather upper on top of a shadow grey midsole, offset by an anthracite leather swoosh to match the outsole. White is placed on the laces and inner lining to nicely contrast the colors, almost giving the shoe a gradient effect. These Forces are available now on the ‘bay.

Although we know very little information known about the new Nike Hyperdunk Low models we’ve seen popping up over the last couple of months, the one thing we are counting on is the low-top version of the popular performance sneaker making its way into storefronts by early-mid 2010. Of the many scans and samples spotted, the latest is this low version of the exclusive Kobe Bryant Snake Pool PE Hyperdunk.  No news on any drop dates, but if the release is as limited as its predecessor’s, you might have a tough time getting your hands on a pair. Collectors can try their luck with Marquee Sole’s limited Men’s US 8.5 stock.
