We’ve seen Nike champion a lot of worthwhile campaigns over the recent years. None of them bigger than the Think Pink campaign that fights to spread breast cancer awareness. Lisa Leslie recently had a hand in the Think Pink Nike Bluechip II that we previewed back in August. Now, as the NBA season kicks off, two more basketball stars will be lacing up for at least some games in the Nike Bluechip II. Caron Butler of the Washington Wizards has his own PE of the basketball model in a black and white colorway with gold and white accents. Jermaine O’Neal of the Miami Heat has himself a pair in red and black with minimal white accents. Both pairs have begun to hit certain Nike retailers, especially online. Which NBA player do you think got the best PE out of these two?

In September we were able to show you three rather toned-down, low-key pairs of the New Balance DDC 574. While the colorways seemed to sit well with some, the New Balance team decided to continue reworking the classic 574 model. And now, there are two pairs of the New Balance H574J to show you. One pair comes in a blue/black/pink colorway, while the second sports yellow, blue, grey and black. This 574 model consists of mesh, suede, premium leather, and even speckled soles. While these remain comfortable to wear casually, they’re built to handle the outdoors and more rugged terrain. Expect a release sometime this month at participating New Balance retailers.

In June we showed you a collection of four pairs of the Nike Air Zoom Tiempo that is a part of the LIVESTRONG campaign. Well, the athletic artist Artoo was recently asked to collaborate with Nike Sportswear and design yet another Air Zoom Tiempo for the LIVESTRONG campaign. The result is the pair we show you here- which comes with a predominantly white base. Different colored streaks run through the stitching and represent the tracks that cyclists leave in the snow and the influence of these cyclists on this very shoe. Sometime this Fall, this pair of the Nike Air Zoom Tiempo will be made available in Berlin and the Nike Sportswear shop in New York City at 21 Mercer.

Gourmet, a company that gained notoriety for anonymizing classic Air Jordan silhouettes, has really come into their own with their Spring 2010 collection. Utilizing the unorthodox material of pony hair, the collection is balanced with the use of premium leather and waxed laces. Few details have been released, but you can check out some images after the jump as we wait for more information.

Last spring we saw a rather colorful Reebok Insta Pump Fury in a red/yellow makeup. This time around, the Reebok team put its minds together with those of the Japanese retailer Beams. Their work resulted in two more pairs of the Insta Pump Fury- one almost entirely in orange and another almost entirely in green. As if the sneaker design isn’t attention-grabbing enough, these colors are sure to break some necks; for better or worse. Little is known about the range of this release, however, a release date is imminent.

Since the release of the Asia Pack back in September, we haven’t seen much of Steve Nash’s latest signature shoe, the Nike Cradle Rock Low. With the 2009/2010 NBA season underway, Nash is wearing a new colorway of the low-top for his Phoenix Suns home games. Featuring a purple patent leather Swoosh, orange accents, and a black/purple plaid pattern, the model is completed with Nash’s signature logo on the back heel panel. Now available at select Nike accounts, prepare yourself for an away colorway to drop before the end of the year.
