Check out this fresh new colorway of the Nike Air Maestro Flight, the sneaker made popular by Scottie Pippen back in the day. Using the usual plain white upper, this pair really stands out thanks to a black and volt midsole and matching tongue. You can get these now. There’s no definite release date for these yet, but I’d expect to see them in stores within the next couple of months. From SF.
Having played an entire season of basketball in the classic Air Jordan VIIIs, I can definitely say that they are a solid basketball sneaker and great to play in, except for one major flaw: weight. The VIIIs are just too heavy, and will eventually slow down any player who relies on speed or jumping.
This year, Jordan Brand has decided to give the classic Air Jordan VIII a much needed revamp with the Air Jordan 8.0. One of the most notable changes is the use of lighter materials on the upper, including Nike’s Flywire technology. A fresh new sole has been added as well. Here’s a look at the first five colorways, all scheduled for release in October. Expect more colorways next year, including a Black/Aqua release. What do you think of the Air Jordan 8.0?
Color: Black/Varsity Red-Flint Grey-White
Release: 10/08/2011
If the White/Black-Volt Nike Air Maestro Flights weren’t good enough for you, then feast your eyes on these beauties.

You can get them now at Premier and eBay.
I know, I promised that I would post these yesterday, but better late than never, right? Here’s the second part of the Nike Air Max 1 “Aztec” Pack, which takes inspiration from the ancient civilization of the same name. Unlike its the sail-colored counterpart, this pair ha received a darker color palette. Black leather and anthracite suede covers the majority of the upper, which has also received a white, black and purple tribal pattern. They should hit your local stores in October, but you can get them now at Kickscrew and on eBay.

With a ridiculous amount of hype and limited supply pushing the Nike Air Mag 2011 to outrageous prices, most of us can only dream about owning a pair. Thankfully, Nike has also created this beautiful pair of Dunk 6.0s, inspired by Doc Brown’s DeLorean. Using the car’s stainless steel exterior as a design cue, this Dunk low has received a seamless upper, done in metallic silver with black outlining. A black sole and matching laces finish off the look, and the bottom of the sole has received a white, red and orange pattern to mimic the DeLorean’s taillights. Take a look at the silver shoe box, and you’ll notice that it has received “gull wing” doors, and a DMC “manufacturer’s stamp. The DeLorean Dunks are officially scheduled to release on Black Friday, November 26, but you can cop them now on eBay. Here’s a link to the listings. From SF.
Here’s a new look at the upcoming Doernbecher Air Jordan IV Retro. This pair is by far one of the most colorful Air Jordan releases we’ve seen so far, using a vibrant pattern which includes black, white, lime green, aqua, blue, and even a Superman logo. It’s a great representation of the sneaker’s young designer, Isaiah, who is a patient at the Doernbecher Children’s hospital. There’s no doubt that these will be incredibly difficult to get a hold of, but you’d like to save yourself some trouble, you can get them now at Marqueesole. At $799.99, they aren’t exactly cheap, but don’t expect to get them for any less if you hold out and try to cop the Doernbechers on eBay.

We haven’t seen a collaboration between Nike and Mighty Crown in about three years, but they are finally back with a hot new design. This time, they’ve chosen the Dunk High to show off their style. It has received a very dark-colored upper, and uses a number of textures, including croc skin, nubuck suede, the infamous elephant print, and even a wood grain-like material. An icy clear sole showcases beautiful artwork, and a gold crown has been placed on the on the laces to leave the Mighty Crown mark. They are expected to hit stores in October. From Warped.
