Unveiled about Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 a month before the annual San Diego convention, Reebok’s collaboration with the Marvel Universe hit retailers just after Comic Con 2012.  But as we saw a couple weeks back with a new Pump Twilight Zone, this ongoing partnership still has plenty releases left, both in terms of new styles we haven’t seen and that initial June preview.  The Marvel x Reebok Night Storm HLS takes on ‘Venom’ persona in black and white that adds a series of unique textures (along with a delightfully creepy tongue hangtag) that puts this sophisticated trail midtop in a class above earlier kids efforts.  Decide for yourself how this official collabo compares to the Nike SB ‘Venom’ Dunk High staple and grab the newest Night Storm in time for Halloween today from SNS.

Joining the shoe that could potentially be Derrick Rose’s playoff selection in a flattering Year of the Snake-inspired colorway is the most popular adidas Basketball silhouette of the moment.  The adidas adiZero Crazy Light 2 YOTS rocks the same Collegiate Navy, blue and gold combo as the D-Rose 3.5s, but a greater emphasis on blue tonality, less texture and a more subdued metallic gold presence put these in the unfamiliar position of being the less intricate of the two.  Let us know which you like best after scanning more photos below, then grab the Crazy Light 2 Year of the Snake straight from adidas.

Last July, Nike opened its third Salvation retail space, capitalizing on the success of the shops in Laguna Beach and Irvine with another storefront in Malibu.  Salvation is a retail concept that brings together select Nike (SB/6.0), Hurley and Converse kicks and gear, and one of the coolest features of the store has to be ‘The Workshop’, an on-site customization station that allows shoppers to create their own custom sneakers, apparel and accessories with styles from a network of Nike collaborators.  N-SB poster Jason Lim just showed off an ornate pattern applies to the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski ‘Bonsai’, and Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 along with a leather lace Nike Free Run + 3 swap, they’re 180 degrees from the original.  Click through to see some more examples of Workshop’d Janoskis, let us know which concept works best and take a trip along the 101 so you can craft a pair at one of three Salvation locations.

Is the Nike LeBron 9 ‘Championship/MVP’ Pack’ the most coveted LeBron release (note: this doesn’t include PEs and samples) of all-time? The first ever two-pair Pack release bearing LeBron’s name dropped last Summer after LeBron cemented his name among the all-time greats by winning his first ‘chip and third overall League MVP, and the value of these bad boys has steadily risen over the last few months. A Nike LeBron X Pack bearing the same name is very likely considering the Heat are playing at a high level thanks to LeBron’s undeniable MVP-level performances, and if it does boil down to that result, we can’t wait to see what Nike has in store. Take one good look at this rare Pack below and if you’re interested in seeing what the asking price is, see the full listing from backroad_music on us store.
