Earlier today, we featured the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) – Duke Player Exclusives (PE), and now we are seeing a preview of a new Nike ZKIV made for another university with an elite basketball program. This cardinal and gold colorway is made exclusively for the athletes over at the University of Southern California to rock while attempting to make a run during March Madness. This pair yields the typical Trojans’ colorway of cardinal, gold, and white. Most of the sneaker is coated in cardinal while the swoosh is in gold and the midsole and toebox are in white. It is still under question if these will be released to the public or not, so stay tuned for updates. Via NT.

This past weekend, Lebron James attended the NBA 2009 All Star Weekend in which he gave us a first look at the newest colorway of the Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6). At that time, we were unsure of the inspiration behind the pair, but after some more detailed pictures, it is quite obvious that this colorway is inspired by the city where James was born—Akron, Ohio. Nike has even gone to the extent of including the name of the street where “the King” grew up, Hickory. Featuring a navy blue rear with white imagery accented by a white toebox, a white swoosh, and a navy blue midsole, this pair has an overall clean and fresh look. Nike has spruced up this colorway by including many gold accents seen throughout the sneaker. An official release date is still under question, but be sure to stay tuned for updates. Via SC.

The Nike Terminator Low is getting decked out in a new and unique colorway this time which maintains its classic shape while adding a nice colorful aspect to it. Featuring a multicolored upper composed of a purple middle panel with a blue toecap, a red swoosh, a white toebox, and a blue tongue tag, this sneaker gives the 1980’s model a new and modern look. Nike has added a clean white midsole and white laces to this pair in order to contrast with the sneaker’s overall bright appearance. These are now available at select Nike retailers including Atmos.

Though Dwight Howard was unsuccessful in winning the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest this past weekend, his sneakers were definitely on point. Throwing down a plethora of amazing dunks including easily dunking on a 12 foot high rim, Howard surely gave 5′9 Nate Robinson a run for his money. Eventually Nate aka Kryptonate won the contest while dunking over his 6′11 competitor, Dwight Howard. For the Slam Dunk Contest, Dwight was rocking this Superman inspired colorway of the adidas TS Bounce Commander. Featuring a blue patent leather upper with red and yellow accents, this pair definitely brings out the superhero in all of us. To cap it all off, adidas has also included a Superman logo on the heel of the sneaker as well as Dwight’s number, 12, on the midsole. There is currently no information indicating that this pair will release, but stay tuned for updates. Via hb.

Low top basketball sneakers are definitely making some noise as of late including the popular Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4), and now it seems as though two new colorways of the Nike Zoom MVP X, Steve Nash’s signature sneaker, will also be releasing soon. These two colorways are inspired by two of the elite guards in the NBA—Brandon Roy and Deron Williams. Roy’s pair features a black patent leather rear with a black leather toebox, and white and red accents. The Deron Williams PE (seen after the ‘jump’) yields a simpler colorway of a white upper with navy blue and university blue accents. Both pairs come with the corresponding player’s logo on the bottom rear of the sneaker and are set to hit retailers in the upcoming months. Via Sucro.
