In anticipation of what seems like will be the first Nike Zoom Kobe V to release, we showed you detailed pictures of the “Chaos” colorway dropping in December. But we’ve also had a very small preview of a pair of the Nike Zoom Kobe V that would be laced up during away games. Many have trouble seeing major differences between the Nike Zoom Kobe IV and V, however, a large part of what makes this “away” Kobe V different from its Kobe IV counterpart are the materials used. The Kobe V “away” boasts reflective reptile print in both black and purple, with a more evident Flywire finish on the mid-panel and even mesh on the upper heel. Check out the detailed pictures after the jump, and stay tuned for official release information as soon as it becomes available.

In July, we caught a few glimpses of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “MVP” colorway. However, since then, it seems as though the Nike team felt Kobe’s achivements during the past basketball season needed to be celebrated in a slightly more exclusive way. To that extent, Nike created eight pairs of a special edition Zoom Kobe IV MVP that possesses slight alterations/additions. First off, the shoes come in a lasered suitcase equipped with medal of authenticity. Moreover, a set of wooden shoe trees have also been added, along with an extra Kobe logo towards the outer sides of the toe box. As we mentioned before, only eight of these super exclusive MVP Nike Zoom Kobe IVs were produced, so don’t get your hopes up at all.

Right before Halloween, fittingly enough, we brought you news of the Nike Zoom Lebron VII “Phantom” releasing in a black/black colorway from select Nike stores, including Foot Locker, on December 17th of this year. Since then, however, slight changes have been made to the accenting properties of the shoe. If you take a close look at the detailed pictures that have surfaced online, you’ll see that there are a handful of gold accents on the shoe where there previously were not- including the L23 symbol on the heel and towards the top of the shoe laces area. Enjoy the detailed pictures of this finalized version of the Nike Zoom Lebron VII after the jump in anticipation of December 17. Could this be the best “all black everything” shoe out there?

With all the Nike Air Magma NDs releasing this holiday season, Nike took us by surprise with the slimmed down version of the vintage hiking boot. The Nike Air Magma AC QS takes the classic colorway of the Nike Air Magma from back in the day and gives it a slimmed look with a vulcanized sole. The upper consists of brown vintage leather with the classic red laces while the black midsole keeps with the original colorway. These quickstrikes will release this Saturday, November 21st, at a price of $153 approximately. Another great release for any OG Nike collector.

After a stunning Nike Air Troupe Metallic Pack, Nike is at it again with the women’s dance lifestyle shoe. The Nike Air Troupe Mid comes in two new colorways, made especially for the Atmos Girls line. Although both colorways involve black as the base color, the first pair uses pink as the contrasting color, while the latter uses purple. The black/pink pair sports a black patent upper with a subtle allover star design. Lime green offsets the black and pink, especially with the cheetah print inner lining. The black/purple pair uses a black leather upper, offset by a pink/blue/purple camo design on the laces and inner lining. These babies will be available for pre-order at $123 each starting November 24th, and will ship out in mid-December.

UGK rapper Bun B stopped by 21 Mercer the other day to show his love for Spacejams by creating his own Spacejam-inspired Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke. The Nike AF1 Bespoke comes in the classic Spacejam Air Jordan XI colorway, using black patent and mesh on the upper, which sits atop a white midsole and icey clear outsole. Blue accents are added at the lace eyeholes and outsole to really keep the inspiration as accurate as possible. These will definitely hold B off until the Spacejams release in December, but of course he’ll probably get them sometime sooner, if he hasn’t already.
