Summer is drawing ever closer, the warm weather is expiring, and folks are starting to head outside to enjoy it all with the freshest of sneakers on their feet. For our loyal readers who are still spending time inside sitting in front of Sneaker News, we salute you. Like we always do at this time, let’s talk about the biggest bullet points across this week’s stories. The Air Jordan IV “Stealth Oreo” popped up, putting another pair on the must-have list as far as Air Jordan retros in 2013. The Nike LeBron X got just as busy as their namesake player, with the likes of both the lifestyle and the proper basketball versions continuing to tease us. Kevin Durant slipped out of the playoff race but his sneakers managed to maintain our attention via all those unreleased samples. Rounding out the Big Three, Kobe Bryant’s Mambacurial version finally got a release date and a new set of shots.
We learned just how deep Nike Sportswear is going this year thanks to a box full of samples, Kanye West showed up on some adidas for once, and the Nike Zoom Hyperflight was reborn with a bizarre lenticular look. Vandal-A came through with an insane Air Max inspired Bespoke creation, the Nike Air Max EM “Sunset Pack” will apparently be given away through a scavenger hunt next week, and Ewing Athletics further revealed its plans to bring the Focus back. adidas Rookie of the year Damian Lillard got his own pair of the Real Deal, Action Bronson told us what his favorite New Balance pair is, and Sneaker News gave you an exclusive look at the Play Cloths x Saucony “Cotton Candy” pack. Sneaker Con provided us with oodles of heat, as did the custom sneaker creators out there. Continue reading for more on all these headlines and make sure to stick with Sneaker News throughout the weekend for more pertinent info.

Could this be the Nike LeBron XI? Nike is a few months away from revealing the eleventh signature sneaker in the Nike LeBron saga, but during a recent team practice, LeBron James was spotted wearing an all-black sneaker that at this point, remains unidentified. Could it be a wear-test sample of the Nike LeBron XI, which is currently set for an October 2013 debut, a new spin on one of LeBron’s take-down models like the Soldier or Ambassador line, or is it the actual Nike LeBron 11? The design itself looks as chiseled as ever, with the monotone black colorway giving it a “Tumbler” look. There’s no confirming at this point, but it’s definitely something to think about with the new LeBron signature shoe being set to debut later this year. We’ve got more photos below so take a look and get the comments rolling in!

Another colorway of the Nike Air Trainer SC II High QS “NFL Pack” us upon us as the Jacksonville Jaguars are honored with this insane colorway of this Nike Trainer classic.

Oneness will also have these this Friday, May 24th, so be sure to stick with Sneaker News for what is shaping up to be an NFL-wide roll-out of Nike Sportswear Retro releases.

So those Nike Air Trainer Max ’91 “Bo Knows” and the Nike Air Trainer SC II High QS NFL “Minnesota Vikings” previews were pretty sick, huh? Get ready for more. Here’s a first look at the Nike Air Trainer SC II “Miami Dolphins” in the incredibly trendy colorway of teal, orange, and hints of blue; although not shown, these are very much likely to have the longstanding Miami Dolphins logo printed on the insoles of the shoes to complement the team-based colorway. There’s more to come, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more and cop these at Oneness this Friday.

A model that can be seen to borrow its sleek good looks from the Eric Koston’s Nike Skateboarding signature line, the Nike SB Rabona is beginning to carve out its own niche. The more new colorways we see, the more the Rabona’s trademark reinforced toe will have a chance to shine, as in the case of this new tonal grey edition where the unique lines dash across like contrails on a cloudy day. Fans of this washed out style will no doubt be happy to find a gum brown rubber on the outsole (traction pattern courtesy of Koston), so have a closer look below before you buy at SB shops like Premier.

Now that Nike owns the rights to NFL logos and such, there’s no more beating around the bush with team-related colorways as we get a wave of Nike Sportswear “NFL” releases like this Nike Air Trainer SC II High. Obviously, this white, purple, yellow, and grey colorways is a perfect fit for the Minnesota Vikings, but the fact that the actual NFL franchise logo is on the insole proves that Nike won’t hold back with what is apparently a new wave of Nike Trainer Retro releases (did you see the Nike Air Trainer Max ’91 “Bo Knows” with the Raiders logo?). Oneness reports a release this Friday, May 24th, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates and check out the extra images below.

Are you ready for the P-Rod 7 launch on July 5th? Paul Rodriguez’ seventh Nike Skateboarding signature is aside from the Lunar Rod the most overt expression of LunarLon in P-Rod’s series to date, but if you were looking to hide the space age cushion within a more traditional skate build, look no further than Paul’s own line. The Nike P-Rod 5 LR in Dark Grey adds a Gum Medium Brown vulc sole, which conceals the namesake cushion within a sole the likes of which skaters have been riding for fifty years. More photos follow the jump below, then you can grab a ‘Dark Grey’ P-Rod V LR at shops like Premier.

While their classics are synonymous with low-key suede and mesh, New Balance’s modern performance runners are every bit as connected to kaleidoscopic rainbow colorways. They also produce eye-catching if more traditional looks with the same tech benefits, as in the case of the New Balance Leadville 1210. Taking its name from Colorado’s insane Leadville Trail 100 race, the NB 1210 manages a perfect balance of support and light weight for those extreme endurance challenges. Click through for closer looks at two fresh releases, then grab yours straight from New Balance.
