Nike Skateboarding has already made Nike Free 3.0 V2 the Superstar silhouette into Pete Eldridge’s pro model, and while it’s not technically a skate shoe, this new Three Stripes release isn’t too far off, both in name and design.  The Nike Originals Pro Model takes the familiar shelltoe to new heights, with this pair going the ‘all black everything’ route, even darkening the usually-white signature toecap.  This pair’s buttery smooth leather g5es them a premium look, and you can grab your own pair today at select Nike Originals retailers like the United Kingdom’s JD Sports.

Judging by their clear avoidance of any similar hoopla of Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 late, it’s clear Nike Basketball leaed that old lesson about eggs in a basket from the MVPuppets campaign back in ’09, though it now seems possible the Swoosh wasn’t entirely without premature celebration with regards to LeBron James‘ recently concluded campaign.  Or perhaps this Nike Air Max+ 2011 ‘King James’ edition was crafted to keep LeBron cool during a summer when much of the heat you’d expect him to be feeling would come from within.  The Air Max 2011′s carefully tuned full length Max Air cushion is precision designed to handle that kind of pressure, and this Heat ‘home’ style colorup is a refreshingly high-contrast take on the simple palettes that abound these days.  Click through to see more, let us know what you think and stick with Sneaker News for word on Nike Zoom Elite 5 a possible retail release. via stickie/MN

The Nike Pro Model series has shown up in a variety of designs over the past few years ranging from the original shelltoed design to the 2010 version that offered a more technical approach.  And with Nike Basketball’s adiZero Crazy Light causing such a stir in recent months with its featherweight construction, it was only natural to see the latest version take on some of the same technical elements.  Check out the new Nike Pro Model 2011, a slight 12.7 oz design that employs SprintSkin technology to slash weight off this patent leather trio while gaining some reinforcement from the TPU side panel stripes.  Click through to see the red, green and blue pairs and look for these at select Three Stripes retailers worldwide.  via SoleMovement
 

A 2000-pair strong collection chock full of general releases eaed Corgishoe the nickname ‘G.R. King’, but he’s probably also got ‘hundreds’ of rarities as well.  Corgi’s been trying to sell off his mass5e collection for over two years now and notable among these is a Nike Air Force 1 x Air Max 97 we first got a glimpse of last week.  These 2008 samples are done in an all-black colorup that infuses the AM97′s eyestay and full length Max Air cushion into the AF1 Low silhouette.  Enjoy a bunch of new photos on the other side of the jump and if you like em, grab the US mens size 9 sample direct from Corgishoe.
