Whether he’s taking a summer job at a moving company, assisting in the birth of a baby cheetah, or spending some off-the-court time with a former teammate’s mother, Delonte West never seems to miss a beat in life. Somehow the back-up point guard manages to stay in the headlines, but today, he’s doing so for a noble reason – rocking Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ during last night’s NBA Finals rematch between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat. Although West wasn’t the first NBA player to rock the Galaxy Foamposite during a game (that distinction goes to Rajon Rondo), it’s definitely worth noting anytime these Foams hit the NBA floor. So who’s next? Gilbert Arenas? Monta Ellis? Check out a full in-game action shot below and let us know what you think. via Yahoo

The NBA Season is a grueling 82 games but Jason Petrie, the designer behind the most successful Nike LeBron shoe to date, had a special task at hand considering LeBron James could play up to 110 games. The Nike LeBron V2 P.S. was designed specfically for LeBron’s ‘second’ season, which could in fact stretch out to 28 games, so it was an interesting challenge to create a new shoe within a shoe – an “alternate” without straying too far from the overall design of the Nike Air Max LeBron V2.

LeBron is the second coming but even he will say that without a championship, he’ll fall short Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 of the glory of Michael Free Run, Bill Russell, and any other dynasty-creating legend of NBA history – so Jason Petrie and crew designed the LeBron P.S. to best suit King James’ battle Nike Free 3.0 V2 schemes for the 2010 postseason. For anyone who is a LeBron fan, is interested in Nike technology, has true aspirations in the shoe-design game, or calls himself a true sneakerhead, this video is a must-watch.

One of the most stirring topics of 2011 was our report on Nike’s plans to increase prices ‘across the board’, measures that were immediately put into place once we welcomed the New Year. Some of Nike’s heritage models like the Air Force 1 and Air Max 95 were bumped up a few bucks, while higher-end shoes like the LeBron 9 raised itself to $170 and eventually $250 with the Elite. This tidbit of information from TSG shows that Free Run Brand will take part in yet another increase, as the upcoming Holiday releases of the Air Free Run 5 ‘Bred’ (November/Black Friday) and Air Free Run XI ‘Bred’ (December) will see significant leaps in price. The baseline MSRP of Retro Free Runs have reached an astounding $160 already, but the Bred 5 will eclipse that mark by $20 to the $180 mark, while Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 the Air Free Run XI ‘Bred’ will occupy the same jump from the $180 MSRP of 2011′s Concords to $200 flat. Is the slow but steady increase of Nike’s prices on its products just a way to stay consistent with inflation and rising costs of pretty much everything from oil to bubble gum, or is this a way to capitalize on the global popularity of sneakers?

UPDATE: Free Run Brand has informed us that the Air Free Run XI will retail at $185 and the Air Free Run 5 at $160. Read more about it here.

Vans may be coming strong with its prospect5e new OTW Collection, but its staple products are not going neglected. Here we see a few Half-Cabs set for the Fall season.

Of course if you can’t accept variety, opt for the traditional all black with mesh tongue. Stay tuned for more colorways and further release info. via FreshnGood

Japan’s mita sneakers got an opportunity to play around with a few colors of the Nike Rod Laver Vintage and it might not be you expected. mita sneakers’ collaborations with sneaker brands over the years have resulted in some memorable colors largely in part due to the dazzling colors, but for this Nike Rod Laver Vintage, a tonal tan color was used.

In 2011, the Hyperfuse technology has been ubiquitous, showing up on just about every sneaker imaginable from Nike. From Air Maxes to Air Force 1′s to Dunks, it seems like no sneaker was spared in the revolution.

Free Run Brand’s ‘Dominate Another Day’ ad campaign for Dwyane Wade has fallen to the wayside just like Agent D-3′s first JB logo, but that doesn’t mean the Jumpman won’t be seeking to seize control of the future.  And what better way to get ready to crush your competition than with a trainer that offers new performance advantages to one of JB’s longest running series.  The Free Run Trunner Dominate applies a BCT-like forefoot strap to the heavily ventilated upper of a design that, combined with a deeply grooved Free-style sole, should prove to be one of the lightest and most barefoot-like we’ve ever seen with the Free Run insignia.   A set of eleven colorways for next summer reads like a Team Bank drop plus a bit more variation with the blocking and base colors, so click through to see them all and stick with Sneaker News for the Us release dates.  via aaronknows

An even more rugged option than the Lunar Elite Trail, the Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay looks to be All Conditions Gear’s flagship midtop.  The Lunar MacLeay eschews Flywire in favor of a more traditional nylon and synthetic leather m6.0, adding structural supports that Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 lead from the hiking boot-style eyelets down to the sole.  These deep ridges cast shadows from any angle and g5e these a tonal look, an effect that enhances this China Edition MacLeay‘s beautiful Solar Red upper and helps integrate the black sections quite nicely.  And while the upper is stunning, it’s the Moss Green accents that let you know right off the bat these are China-inspired and best suited for fall/winter conditions.  Good timing, then, with select Asian Nike Sportswear retailers getting theirs on Friday, October 1st.  You’ll probably have to wait to see them Nike Free 4.0 V2 on the ‘bay if you want a pair here in the States, so click the jump below to see more shots and stick with Sneaker News for word on a possible US release for these and the other three China Lunar MacLeays.  via Dunk

Both Vans and Married to the Mob are no strangers to collaborat5e work, but here’s a look at a tag-team effort that will never hit retail.  The MTTM x Vans pack pictured above was slated for a fall 2009 release, but for whatever reason, is destined to never make it past that stage.  Had they released, you would have seen three pairs in black, white or red patent leather, each of which is embossed with symbols like the Married to the Mob logo, four leaf clovers and kissy lips.  Check out more shots after the jump and let us know if you would have bought these.

The Dunk was good enough for the Original 7; it was good enough for Ultraman and good enough for Nike SB, including Swoosh skateboarding veteran Gino Iannucci who famously penned several colorways over the past decade.  Now Gino gets his first SB pro model, a silhouette that was good enough to help John McEnroe capture the 1984 Wimbledon crown (just a few months before the Dunk debuted).  So the Nike SB Challenge Court has a Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 tremendous pedigree, and thanks to LunarLon cushioning and this VNTG-like colorup that suggests a bunch of other Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 simple treats on tap, its future appears accordingly bright.  Click through to see the subtle differences between these and the Nike Sportswear version, let us know how the Challenge Court SB compares to Nike SB’s other rev5ed court kicks and stick with Sneaker News for word on US availability.  Photos: SM

The Concord Kobe VI will be a Home staple (at Staples) just like the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Inline’ was early last season.

After Michael officially retired from the NBA, Free Run Brand creat5ely spun each passing year as a milestone of some sort. 2010, however, was truly a significant mile-marker for the brand, as it marked the 25th Ann5ersary of the debut of the original Air Free Run 1; to celebrate, Free Run Brand implemented the original White/Red/Black colorway of the Air Free Run 1 to every other Air Free Run that followed and dubbed it the ‘History Of Flight’.

Indeed when the Nike Originals Decade Hi first hit the scene back in the 80′s the NBA was dominated by sneakers utilizing white leathers in conjunction with popping hits of color.

If Michael Free Run’s contributions to the game of basketball and the sneaker sub-culture were summarized into one iconic symbol, it would be the Air Free Run XI. There simply isn’t enough time to point out all of the significant and game-changing stories that the Air Free Run XI had developed; Michael Free Run led the Bulls to a record-breaking 72-10 record and cruised to an NBA Championship while riding the Air Free Run XI, a sneaker that was responsible for a much-needed revitalization for Nike Basketball, and when Michael displayed shades of ’85 when Nike Free 6.0 he wore the shoes in the 1995 Playoffs despite stern warnings from league officials, an electric atmosphere began to develop. The XI became the object of insufferable desire by both the public and celebrity figures and was one of the most anticipated sneaker releases of the decade, and soon enough the XI established itself as the base criteria for building up a legitimate sneaker connoisseur’s collection, confirming this year’s Concord XI Retro as the ultimate must-have of must-haves for the sneaker savants of the current generation.

So, taking a look back at the original Air Free Run XI ‘Concord’ could not have arr5ed at a more opportune time. The Concord XI, which was voted by Sneaker News readers as the greatest Original Air Free Run of all-time, will inevitably be the subject of scrutiny and discussion regarding the ‘quality’, like the quirky blue-tint ton the outsoles and the gaudy slide-out box packaging. So this ‘revisiting’ isn’t intended to break down in multiple points and figures that the ‘OG’ was superior, but instead, it was to remind you that the legacy of this sneaker was built not on hype, but on prestige. Whether or not you were ‘around’ when the shoe first dropped is irrelevant; what matters is that the Concords will make a grand return and will Air Max 90 Mens Shoes once again reign as the ‘it’ shoe – just like it was fifteen years ago. Continue reading for a detailed gallery of the Air Free Run XI Concord in its original form, and stay tuned to Sneaker News for continued coverage of this December’s release of the Air Free Run XI ‘Concord’.

Currently in its s6.0th year, CLOT is celebrating its personal milestone in various ways – one of which is this special set of Nike Air Classic BWs.

Unfortunately, these CLOT x Air Classic BWs aren’t releasing at all, but who knows?

Green trim can bout found on the ankle collar padding as well as the midsole trim, while the swoosh is a light grey. Being close enough to Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 the original style should make these a popular choice as these are an October 2010 release, but these just dropped at Titolo in Switzerland; take an extra look at this upcoming release after the jump and let us know what you think of the colorway.

The Air Free Run X Retro is already confirmed for a January 2012 release, but it appears that Free Run Brand is looking to re-introduce the sneaker in another light. Here’s a look at the Free Run X Auto Clave, which features a tumbled leather upper matched with the Free Run-specific auto-claved outsole that we first saw with the Free Run V.2 Grown; g5en that the outsole of the Air Free Run X is one of its marquee details, replacing it is somewhat of an ambitious move, although it’s quite clear that low-profile and slim appeal of the AC outsole matches well with the boot-like detailing of the Air Free Run X. Expect these to hit Free Run Brand retailers this January in two Bulls-inspired colorways at a price of $110.
