Nike Basketball is still going strong, releasing new models as well as new colorways for classic models. The latest of the retro regime is the Nike Air Bakin Retro, which comes in a metallic silver/black-purple colorway. The upper consists of metallic silver leather with purple accents on the laces, heel tab, and mini-swooshes. Black contrasts the vibrant silver on the sole, mesh tongue, and netting beneath the metallic silver upper. This might be a bit bright for the court, but these are sure to be great pickups for any basketball shoe collector. More info on the release later on.

Nike is perhaps the most well-known sneaker brand in the world, especially for their innovative basketball silhouettes and up-to-date sneaker technology. One basketball shoe getting ready to make a splash this NBA season is the Nike Zoom Skyposite- which we’ve already previewed for you in a “Kryptonate” and Amare Stoudamire PE. Now some images have surfaced of two more colorways for the Nike Zoom Skyposite- a black/black carbon fiber pair and another with royal blue on the upper and black accents on places such as the Nike swoosh. There is no official release date for either of these yet, but they should be dropping at select Nike retailers nationwide some time during this upcoming NBA season. Rest assured we’ll have more release information as soon as it becomes available. For now, here’s the teasers.

It was over two weeks ago when SneakerFiles brought you word of a Nike Zoom Flight Club pack initially nicknamed by some as an “Invisible” pack. It seems as though Nike itself is nicknaming it a “Raincoat” pack. Either way, House of Hoops locations nationwide will be releasing all four shoes in this pack starting this Halloween, October 31, 2009. Releasing in tennis ball yellow, blue, red, and black, many sneaker and basketball fanatics are dubbing these all must have’s not only because of the colorways but also because of the protective outer guard that is sure to keep your sneakers better protected in a variety of weather conditions.

Nike seems to be helping Pau Gasol make a run at repeating with his Los Angeles Lakers teammates as NBA champions with the creation of his Hyperize PE. But Nike is definitely no stranger to hooking up the young’ns also. Coming soon to House of Hoops locations nationwide is a first wave of Nike Hyperize sneakers inspired by four different NCAA teams- Texas, UConn, USC, and Illinois. Perhaps this is Nike’s way of helping Jeffrey Jordan (his airness’ son) make up his mind and return to play on the Fighting Illini’s squad. Either way, be on the look out for these on the feet of several NCAA stars as well as basketball and sneaker enthusiasts as soon as they’re made available. Check out more pix after the jump.

When Nike puts its mind to commemorating a certain person and/or event, it usually goes all out and does it right. Take the pair of London and Paris Nike Hyperize’s as an example. They released in the New York House of Hoops in celebration of House of Hoops expanding to both overseas cities. This weekend, yet another House of Hoops location opens up- this time in Houston. In celebration of this opening, the Nike Hyperize Houston Pack made up of two colorways pictured here will go on sale this Saturday at the grand opening’s location: Northline Mall in Houston, Texas. How do you sneakerheads feel this Hyperize pack mathes up with previous ones celebrating a similar event in sneaker history?

It was a couple months back when we saw a first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe V as a sample. This time, we’ve discovered a preview of the Nike Zoom Kobe V in its final form. The Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) comes in five different colorways, but still carries on the lowtop form that Kobe loves on the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. The model still carries the Black Mamba’s signature at the heel, with his Nike logo at the tongue. The toe features a faux snakeskin design and a diamond pattern at the heel to give the shoe some style. The Zoom sole should make this, along with the hidden Flywire, a great choice for the court. Stay tuned for a strong wave of releases for Kobe’s latest sig shoe.

Even though the Nike Air Max LeBron VII is the talk of the town for LBJ, Nike still hasn’t forgotten the success met by the sixth installment of LeBron’s signature line. The Nike Zoom LeBron VI Low comes in a classic black/white-varsity red colorway, with a white leather and black suede upper, which contrasts nicely with the white leather swoosh. The midsole is what makes the shoe stand out, as it is made of carbon fiber material to make the looks of the shoe live up to its performance. The midsole sits on a varsity red outsole to match the Lion symbol at the back ankle tab. Be sure to get your pair of these bad boys at your local House of Hoops today.
