Lance Armstrong’s non-profit organization LIVESTRONG provides support to those affected by cancer. In one of their latest undertakings, they have come together with Nike to design several colorways in the Nike Zoom Tiempo TZ. The color combinations include black / green, red / white, grey / white, and black / purple. All four feature the LIVESTRONG logo on the inside of the tongue, and combine to create the Nike Zoom Tiempo City Pack, a tier-zero release that is available now in limited numbers at select accounts including 21 Mercer.

We haven’t been flooded with Terminator’s this year so stumbling across these will definitely be a welcome change of pace. The upper is composed of heather grey jersey with black tape accenting across the toe box. The sneaker doesn’t completely forgoe leather as it is found on the lace eyeletes, tongue, swoosh and heel. The paired down colorway is given a hit of color via the a blue outsole while a white midsole cements the design. Pick up your pair at Proper.

The Jordan Flight 45’s have been dropping left and right in some pretty tight colorways but this next colorway is coming in grade school sizes. The smaller sneaker is dropping in white with blue and pink accenting on the stitching, speckling and lining. The only other hit of color comes via the Jumpman logo in yellow on the tongue and heel. Release information is still forthcoming so stay tuned for updates. Via FlightClub.

Earlier we showed you the Nike Big Nike Fred Flintstone and as any avid cartoon watcher knows Fred and Dino go hand in hand. That being said Nike is also dedicating a shoe to our beloved domestic dinosaur. The Nike Big Nike Dino has a purple suede upper with a cheetah print panel and turquoise accents on the heel, tongue tag and laces. With a white midsole and black outsole this sneaker is a definite winner. Look for these at the House of Hoops. Via Kixandthecity

If extremely rare sneakers are your thing then boy do we have a gem for you. Nike produced an exclusive sneaker for Roger Federer to wear off court during the 2008 Wimbledon championship. For the top tier tennis player a very simple silhouette was produced that is white with gold accents. The suede and canvas upper is lined in gold and has a design reminiscent of an Stan Smith. The tongue tags tell his story via logo and an image that represents his 5 Wimbledon titles. The sneakers are only on ebay with the current bid being $600 with a week left.  Good Luck!

Nike has already collaborated with pro skater Paul Rodriguez on two signature models, and looks to continue the success of the line with a thire. The Nike SB P-Rod 3 (III) will fuse elements from the past two models, but add some new flavor into the mix. Here we are previewing a pair slated to release in August 2009. They sport a white leather upper along with black accents on the Nike swoosh, tongue, and shoe laces. Meanwhile, red accents can also be spotted across the upper.

Nike SB is no stranger to controversial releases or extraordinarily rare kicks, but this one might just take the cake. The Heaven’s Gate was so controversial, being inspired by the Heaven’s Gate cult which committed suicide wearing black and white Nike Cortezes, that they were never saw the light of day. Since then Nike SB has released the Un-Heaven’s Gate, and all that was left of the original design was samples no one ever got to see.
That has all changed as Revive has received the Heaven’s Gate FT sample. The shoe features a mostly black upper that consists of suede and leather with a white swoosh and purple along the upper back heel. In an interesting twist a cool teal lines the tongue, and sock lining. Via: REVIVE.

Bape plans to make it a hot summer with their new collection featuring the Bape Sta 88 high and low. Both shoes have a mostly white upper with either red or green accents along the outsole, tongue, and heel tab. Look for these before the summer’s end. Via: Colmilludo.

Remember when new shoes made you think you could run faster? Well while that is definitely not the case boy’s around the world can imagine it to be when this Flash inspired Nike Big Nike High hits stores. The team red and volt yellow patent & regular leather upper is rounded out by a white toe box and midsole while a crested N graces the tongue tag. Lets just hope the grown kids of the world see these in the form of an adult sized drop. Via Sneakernews

Nike’s Air Max department definitely doesn’t sleep and at the rate they keep droppin fresh kicks they are going to ensure that we don’t eat. Next up to take your milk money are these Air Classic BW in black/metallic silver/purple and safari. The colorway sounds so wild that it was only right that a safari print be included. Most of the leather and mesh upper is black while the midsole is dressed in silver and white. Purple serves as purely an accent in very minimal hits while the safari print is found in a very unlikely place, the tongue. No word on when the shoes will hit retailers but they are definitely on ebay right now. Via Sneakernews

Everybody loves seeing a new colorway on AF1’s right? Here we see a new Mid with Varsity Maize accenting giving it just the right amount of shine to stand out. The color finds its way onto the outsole, midsole stitching, swoosh, heel tab, vecro strapstay and tongue.  Interestingly it is absent from the tongue tag giving these kicks a more customized feel than factory. If you like the Mids or not you gotta admit, these are definitely fresh. Via 1st-Sneaker

It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no it’s the Nike Air Max BW Classic! Lame jokes aside Nike presents the new Superman inspired Air Max BW Classic.

Nike gives us two new pairs of Blazers to get excited over this summer. The black Nike blazer features snake-skin-like leather with metallic swooshes. Grey accents along the tongue lining as well as a white sole give the shoe a nice contrast. The white blazer plays it simple with a smooth leather upper, and grey swooshes. A pinkish-orange lines the tongue and adds an unexpected pop to the sneaker. Via: Schuh-You.
