What would Blake Griffin do if he weren’t an NBA player? With our first look at the new Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme “The Blake Show” it is likely that he’d have his own talk show.

After seeing Kevin Durant’s Nike Zoom KD IV “Weatherman”, the new Blake Griffin Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme is the next model to follow in the Nike Basketball “Lockout Pack,” a collection inspired by NBA player’s and their supposed alternative career path. With the return of the NBA season though, we can only imagine what other “lockout” sneakers we’ll see on the court from some of Nike’s most notable players.

The “Blake Show” Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme features synthetic grey uppers with orange and navy blue accents found on the midsole and inner lining. Interestingly enough, the shoe displays a “Blake Show” graphic beneath a translucent section toward the front, a hardwood inspired insole, and is finished off with a metallic silver Swoosh and back heel counter.

The Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme “The Blake Show” is set to release December 1st at Nike Park in the Philippines. There is currently no word on a stateside release date, but be sure to keep it here with SneakerFiles for more info!

Bustling activities are underway as the $1.2 billion dollars state- of-the-art Dallas Cowboys Stadium prepares for its first boxing event when Manny Pacquiao defends his title against Joshua Clottey. To take place this coming Saturday, March 13th, the much anticipated fight is expected to draw a sold out crowd at both the stadium and Pay-Per-View live telecast in the U.S. and his homeland of the Philippines.

Manny Pacquiao will always have this under his belt– the first man to knock out England’s Ricky Hatton. Tonight, as Manny Pacquiao fights Miguel Cotto for the five-weight World Champion at the WBO World Welterweight Boxing Championships in Las Vegas.

On this note, as we had previously reported on the Nike Trainer 1 “Lights Out” Edition colorway that commemorated the pride of the Philippines, now a new Philippines colorway is available for those who didn’t get a chance to get their hands on the previous kicks. Still working on the same silhouette, the Nike Trainer 1 (inspired by the Air Trainer 1 but with superior multidimensional traction and mobility) is remade in red, white and blue, the colors of its national flag. The upper also features the graphics of a star and the tongue tags are based off the ones previously seen on the Lights Out colorway. Sold out on NikeStore online, the kicks are still  available at selected Nike retailers, so those who are looking to grab these kicks can do a little digging.

2, 5 and 9 might be Manny Pacquiao’s lucky numbers. On May (5) second (2) of this year (oh 9), Pacquiao became the first man to knock out England’s Ricky Hatton. He did it in 2 minutes, 59 seconds. If there were only 259 or 529 of these amazing Nike Trainer 1s, we’d understand, but instead we find the numbers under a panel of translucent outsole. Those panels are among the scant few details on these kicks that aren’t black, grey or neon green. In the right light, the glow in the dark grey elements shift to that same shade of green. The ‘Lights Out’ theme is a perfect way to commemorate the Philippines’ native son in grand fashion, and previously we thought they’d only be released there. As it turns out, there’s going to be a release tomorrow, Friday, September 25th at a smaller-than-Tier-Zero list of US retailers.

Here we look at the all new Lights Out version of Nike Manny Pacquiao Trainer 1 that packs a heavy blow to any enthusiast. Not only have they come up with the glow in the dark Trainer 1 but with it is a matching “Pacman Knows” tee with glow in the dark technology too. The Lights Out is a play on words with the glow in the dark technology as well as the performance he delivered during the May victory over Ricky Hatton.

As for the design of the shoes, it features contrast stitching and shoe laces over black upper in mesh and leather. Interestingly the tongue tag is asymetric with left side being white with gold details while the right side is glod with white details and both proudly have MP embroidered in red and blue to reflect the Philippines flag. The shoes are packaged in black box with intricate design and wrapped in gold foil printed paper. These shoes will only be available exclusively at Nike flagship store at Fort Bonifacio, Philippines. via: KC31.

The Nike Hyperize has been dubbed as the Hyperdunk 2.0 due to the plethora of similarities between Nike’s top two guard-oriented basketball products. We have seen numerous previews of upcoming colorways of the Hyperize, and we now have a complete look at the City Pack, which is composed of five sneakers. The first pair (China) hosts a white upper with silver accents, while the second style (Gold Medal) yields a white base with gold accents. The Taiwan inspired pair features a white upper with blue accents, and the Hong Kong inspired Hyperize hosts a black upper with white accents. The final pair from this pack is inspired by the Philippines, and yields a blue upper with yellow and red accents. The Nike Hyperize “City Pack” will release, in limited quantities, in Fall ‘09.
