We may be near the end of summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t expect any more hot Air Max 95 colorways to go with the season. It uses a combination of black at the sole, progressing to obsidian, blue, and finally white at the top. A hint of yellow has been used as well, which has been placed on the swoosh and Max Air unit. This pair was released as a JD Sports exclusive, and is available here.
Finally we have a decent look at the upcoming Black/Light Olive-Varsity Red Air Jordan 9 Retro. This pair is only a sample, but don’t expect any changes at this point. They are expected to drop on November 17, and will retail for $160. Pics from NT member Ballahb.

Old school is back and better than ever thanks to this hot new Nike Air Force 180 color scheme. Using a black upper as the base, this pair has received a purple and pink tongue logo and a white swoosh that really sticks out, but the sole is what really brings this sneaker to life. The midsole is colored in a purple to pink gradient pattern overlaid with white speckles, giving it an almost galaxy-like theme. The official release date has not yet been revealed, but stay tuned for more on these.
Today we have another image of the “Fireberry” Nike Air Max Hyperposites, one of the hottest colorways of Nike’s latest edition to the Foamposite family. It has a blue and upper, joined with hot pink on the sock liner and outsole. A purple-tinted Max Air unit and silver swoosh on the heel add the finishing touches. So far, it remains a mystery as to when these will actually drop, but stay tuned for more.

With the Olympics now in full effect, Team USA’s men’s basketball team expects nothing less than a gold medal, especially their veteran Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba even put his team’s citizenships on the line, and Nike is already holding him to it, creating this new “Gold Swoosh” version of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII. Similar to the “Team USA” model, this pair uses a little more navy, sports a metallic gold swoosh and a matching tongue logo. There’s no word yet on if these will actually hit stores, but expect to see them on Kobe’s feet if (more likely when) Team USA get to the gold medal game.

They aren’t officially due out until December, but a few online shops are already starting to get shipments of the highly-anticipated Black/Varsity Red-White Air Jordan XI Retro.

The Nike Air Max 1 Hyperfuse is Nike’s latest reincarnation of the classic sneaker, and it should does look good. This colorway uses a combination of white, neutral grey, and Varsity Blue. A second, lighter shade of blue adds even more personality to the sneaker. You can get them at select shops like Warsaw Sneaker Store, and there’s quite a few sizes on eBay as well.

While everyone remembers Penny Hardaway during his heyday as an Orlando Magic player, a lot of people often forget that he played for Phoenix from 1999 to 2004. To remember his time with the Suns, Nike has created this beautiful colorway of the Nike Air Penny 5. Finished primarily in black, the midsole has received a gradient pattern that fades from orange to purple, matched with purple and orange graphics. A purple sock liner does the rest. There is no exact date yet, but the Nike Air Penny V “Phoenix” is expected to drop in December.

With so many big names on their team, sometimes we forget that Jordan Brand employs a few of the lesser-known basketball players as well. One such athlete is Michael Pietrus. Here’s a look at a pair of Air Jordan XIVs created for him to wear during his time with Golden State. A simple colorway to say the least, this pair has an all black suede upper complemented with orange graphics. Not too many of these were produced, but luckily you can cop this pair on eBay through seller innovative_shopping_concepts.

New Balance has advantage of the entire color wheel with their New Balance 574 “Color Pack”. The pack, which includes four colorways, gives you the choice red, yellow, green, or blue. All four colorways feature a suede upper. Currently the Color Pack is only available overseas at stores like Mita in Japan, but they are expected to release in the U.S. in the near future.

Even with a barrage of hot sneakers planned for the rest of 2012, the Black/Varsity Red-White Air Jordan 11 is easily the most anticipated release of the year. Tonight we get a first look at the 2012 model. As you can see, the sneaker remains unchanged for the most part, including the fat laces, which are notorious for getting slightly thinner with each release of the XIs.
Just like the previous three AJ XI releases, plastic shoe trees have been included, but unfortunately, it appears that Jordan Brand has decided to skimp out on the XI box that most sneakerheads were quite fond of. You’d think that with a $5 price hike (from $180 to $185), the box would remain. Either way, it’s good to see the return of the “Breds”. The official date has not been announced, but if history tells us anything, put your money on December 22 or 24. From Sneakerhotline.

Nike has decided to cash in on color scheme seen on the popular Nike Zoom Kobe VII “Invisibility Cloak“, creating a similar colorway for the Nike Air Penny 5. The majority of the upper is covered in black, while a color-changing purplish-green has been used on both the midsole and accents surrounding the shoe. There is no word on when these will release, but check back for more info. From The Game is a Foot.
