Last year's Miami inspired colorways for the Nike LeBron 8 like the 'South Beach' and 'Miami Nights' were the clear kings of the hill for must haves, so will King James' latest signature shoe have a similar fate? With the Nike LeBron 9 finally starting to pop up on a slew of exciting colorways, this pair fuses the standard Miami Heat colors with a bit more sinister inspiration; the iconic imagery of the classic gangster film Scarface.

The stark combo of black and white mixes in swaths of red that make the inspiration clear. Let us know how these line up against the other Nike LeBron 9's we've seen so far and stay tuned for more info on the 'Scarfaces'.

Sneaks on the Ave: Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro

Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro
Noble Green/Metallic Gold-Dark Oak

If we've learned anything from Nike's Fall/Winter 2011 collection, it's that the brand is dead set on extending the aesthetics of outerwear well beyond the Nike ACG range. From beefed up Duckboot Air Force 1's to Sky Force '88s sporting d-ring lacing, it is abundantly clear that every division of the Swoosh will have the proper footwear for the coming months. The iteration for Nike SB is the Nike SB Dunk Mid 'Patagonia' that we've been patiently waiting for, which sports a mixture of earthy tones paired with metal eyelets and the classic hunter red laces. We've got some high quality pics after the jump to tide you over until their rumored December release, courtesy of aggi on N-SB.

Sneaks on the Ave: Jordan Melo M8 'Home' and 'Away' Colors

The initial Jordan Melo M8 released to retail was a Chicago Bulls 'home' colorway released at an English Jordan Brand distributor.  Much closer to home for Carmelo Anthony is news that his eighth JB signature will soon be available at US stores in a palette that's been gaining some attention another Jumpman model of late.  This Knicks 'away' getup goes with a roughly 1:1 mix of black and royal with just a hint of orange plus white on the outsole and sockliner.  They have a more balanced feel than the all-blue Spiz'ikes but both are sufficiently dope that New York basketball fans will be going broke between all the sick releases and ever increasing ticket prices.  Will you be among the masses picking up the Knicks away Melo M8s when they hit at FinishLine  Wednesday, October 12th?

Sneaks on the Ave: Nike SB Blazer Highs - Rift Blue/Classic Chracoal/White

White-on-black Nike SB Blazer Highs and Blazer CS SBs have been available 'all day/every day' at Nike SB retailers for some time, so along with the black/Team Red and 'A Tribe Called Quest' joints that just hit retailers, black suede has figured quite prominently in the SB Blazer's recent plans. A pair of suede Blazers is one of those impeccable looks that deserves to be reproduced across the entire visible spectrum, and when you pair the lovely Rift Blue shade on this pair with grey nubuck for a range of crisp blues plus white on the vulc sole, you get one of the 'coolest' winter designs we've seen so far for the coming stretch of extended cold weather. Click through to see more angles after the jump and expect this pair at retailers next month.

Sneaks on the Ave: Nike Lebron 9 'Kentucky' Colorway, plus a couple other LBJ 9 colorways

 Late last week, Jason Petrie gave us a first look at the Nike LeBron 9 'Kentucky' during a Q&A video chat session. It features a Royal Blue/Black upper with a white swoosh and outsole for that complete Wildcats appeal, but as we've mentioned before, it's hard not to see this as an 'Air Penny' colorway. We've already seen some of the other NCAA-inspired colorways, like the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Miami Hurricanes, so which of the three do you like best? These are slated for a release at select retailers like Oneness in Kentucky this Friday at midnight, so check out the extra shot of the Nike LeBron 9 'Kentucky'  above and be sure to stick with Sneaker News and BlvdAve for more release updates and information. Bonus: Here's a look at a couple other colorways of the Lebron 9.
