The Nike East vs. West Rivalry Pack is taking over, with releases from either side popping up left and right. This time, the Nike Air Max 1 represents the West, in a clean navy blue/black/white colorway. The upper consists of blue suede and black mesh, along with a white inner lining to match the white midsole, which sits atop  a black outsole. The light blue lace eyelet matches the light blue insole, which features a beaver graphic print, alluding to the Nike Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. This is a sweet release and is available now at select Nike retailers.

Though the new Nike Zoom Kobe IV has gained much attention over the past few months, many basketball players still prefer its high top counterpart, the Nike Hyperdunk. With the NBA All Star 2009 Game just around the corner, Nike Basketball has created two colorways of the Hyperdunk—one for the Eastern conference All-Stars and one for the Western conference All-Stars. Each pair directly correlates with the team’s jerseys. The “West” Nike Hyperdunk features a red upper while its Eastern counterpart yields a gradient blue upper. Both pairs come equipped with a white midsole, a white swoosh, and white laces. There is no word if these will be made available to the public or not, but be sure to stay tuned for updates.

We have seen many All-Star game sneakers over the course of the past few days including the Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6) – All Star Game 2009 and the Nike Huarache ‘09 – All-Star Game – East. We are now seeing the western conference counterpart of the latter of the two aforementioned sneakers. This Nike Huarache ‘09 is made for the western conference NBA All-Stars and thus contains a colorway which goes well with their jerseys. Featuring a red upper with white accents, this pair yields a clean and simple colorway. With the word, “West”, on the ankle support and “09″ on the tongue, Nike makes the inspiration behind this pair quite obvious. There is no word if there will be a public release for these, but stay tuned for updates. Via Kenlu.

We have seen a couple previews of the products of the latest collaboration between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton, but none of them were set to release for the ladies. Now, we have some new pictures of a new pair of sneakers which are designed exclusively for the female sneaker aficionadoes.

No word on any release date yet, but stay tuned for updates. Via KanyeWest.
