Nike Basketball did the ‘Triple Black’ thing for a while, but the most recent ‘Blackout’ editions of their best shoes have offered a slightly lighter take on the theme.  This year’s LeBrons added a little gold,Diablo 2 CD Key, and the new Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Blackout’ is going in the silver direction.  That says nothing of Kobe himself,Diablo 2 CD Key, whose Lakers have been the NBA’s (purple and) gold standard for two years now; just that there are a select few Metallic Silver accents lightening up an otherwise black as night ZKV.  Check out more shots after the jump, then feel your way over to Kix-Files and grab a pair.

Here’s another look at the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Safari’ we first showed you last week.  Featuring a vivid blue suede overlay,UGG Boots, these joints are completely based in the iconic Safari print that takes its name from a 1987 cult classic runner.  The Air Max 1 overshadowed the original Safari runner and has come to be nicknamed the ’87s’, but this irregular speckled pattern has risen to immortal status right alongside Jordan Brand’s legendary Elephant print.  The brown on this fat-tongued SB Dunk Low’s Safari is considerably darker than the greyish originals,Diablo 2 CD Keys, so click the jump below to see more shots and let us know if you’d like to see any other colorways of Safari’d SBs.  via Warped

The last Force x Air fusion Sneaker News showed you – the Air Jordan Force Fusion XII Obsidian – was met with high praise from fans and detractors alike due to the shoe’s tit-for-tat resemblance to the original Air Jordan it took after. The latest installment of the Air Jordan Force Fusion legacy is the Air Jordan X, and like the AJF12 Obsidian,Diablo 2 CD Key, this upcoming fusion impeccably hybridizes the Air Jordan X upper with a toe, strap, and midsole of an Air Force 1 Mid. The Jordan branding found on the tag of the X is placed on the strap, and the most prominent design features of the Air Jordan X,nike shoes, the bottom sole chronicling Jordan’s achievements, is also pressed together with a classic AF1 sole. Check out this first look at the Air Jordan Force Fusion 10 in the “Steel” colorway and let us know what you think of the AJF10. Marquee Sole.

Despite deep facial cuts that forced his withdrawal from this year’s Tour of California,Diablo 2 CD Key, Lance Armstrong is poised to make a run at an unprecedented eighth Tour de France title this July.  That’s what LIVESTRONG is all about: defying the odds, crushing physical and mental limitations,Diablo 2 CD Keys, and providing inspiration to any who care to watch.  These new Nike WMNS Eclipse IIs won’t help you pedal to the Champs Elysees, but they offer a reminder of the indefatigable hope that Armstrong embodies.  These Eclipse IIs feature the same bicycle-print pattern that accompanied recent Sweet Classic low- and hightops, subtly working the bright yellow shade into a tonal grey running-inspired lifestyle design.  Support the cause and cop a pair today from Finish Line.

Only 100 pairs of this Dunk has been made and by the time you read this, they have probably been sold out already. Your best bet at this point is to wait for them to show up on ebay.
