Nike SB’s newest team member Omar Salazar just had his signature shoe released not too long ago. But what makes this latest Nike SB jump up a few cool points is that he dipped his own hand in the design process. What he wanted out of Nike was based on drawings and sketches he did of his own shoe. In a nutshell? Classic and futuristic. The Nike SB Omar Salazar features a classic and rugged skate-shoe design but with Nike’s latest technology. Check out the video interview of Omar Salazar after the jump to get filled in on the design process.

It remains to be seen what LeBron James will wear this postseason.  But after the NBA season ends in June, one thing is clear: expect a bunch of Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) Low colorways.  Here’s a sample pair to give you an idea of how the design has changed through time.  These are identical to the first pairs we saw back in October ‘09, and have seen their Air cushion Max’d to wrap around the heel for the release model.  Aside from that, the main differences are the perfs and woven sections that are both replaced by smooth leather, and a gum sole that frankly, looks just as good as its icey replacement.  Check out more photos after the jump, then have a look at our new Sneaker News Nike LeBron Archive.  via LRJ23

Had they won the championship during last year’s Final Four run, UConn would be on a one-every-five-years schedule.  As it stands, Coach Calhoun’s Huskies are done, unless you take the NIT seriously.  Nike Basketball clearly does, as it’s pumping out a bunch of Hyperdunk PE heat for some other teams that looked strong early in the season, only to fade out.  Appropriate, then, to see their tourney time player exclusives fade from UConn blue to white along their Flywire-equipped side panels.  Stick with Sneaker News for more even more from this year’s March Madness.Read the rest of Nike Hyperdunk – University of Connecticut PE

When we first brought our readers news of the Nike Air Max A Lot silhouette, they were not all too pleased. However, upon seeing the black/varsity red-white colorway, sentiments began to change a little. There’s no denying that the black/red/white color palette can work wonders- but just how many wonders is the question. The black/varsity red-white Nike Air Max A Lot is actually available for online purchase now for the going rate of $88. Are you going to give these a go?

Earlier on in his career, while with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kevin Garnett wore a number of shoes with Nike that sneakerheads still think of rather highly. For example, the Nike Air Flightposite II was a beloved former Kevin Garnett signature Nike sneaker that released recently in a metallic zinc colorway. Now another former Kevin Garnett signature Nike sneaker has once again been made available. The Nike Air Max 3 pictured here also got redone with metallic accents, this time coming in a very shiny gold mixed with white. This pair of Nike basketball shoes is actually available for purchase now from select Nike retailers including Foot Locker and House of Hoops locations nationwide. What are your thoughts on this colorway of the Nike Air Max 3?

Earlier in 2010, we previewed the Nike Zoom Soldier IV (4) in a white/navy and white/green colorway, and we now have new images of a sample of LeBron James’ fourth Zoom Soldier sneaker. As seen by the photo, the Zoom Soldier IV (4) will host a breathable mesh upper with a forefoot strap and a Nike ZOOM sole. This specific style yields a cool grey upper with purple, white, and black accents. Another key aspect of this model is the use of flywire, which is most readily seen on the forefoot strap. The Nike Zoom Soldier IV (4) is expected to release later this year, so stay tuned for any updates.
