Nike’s Ripstop material has made its way to the Air Max CB34, and on a very bright new colorway. Using Ripstop material, the entire upper has been covered with varsity red, with the exception of the white stitching and tongue logo. This model is planned to release on 8/27 as a House of Hoops exclusive. I’ve put this in the Sneaker Release Dates for a reminder. From MN.

I’m sure a lot of you remember the highly popular Black/Max Orange Air Jordan I Retro from 2009, but did you know that they were originally planned to release in a Black/Infrared color scheme? As you can see from this sample below, the overall color pattern remains the same, but max orange over black leather upper has been replaced with infrared patent leather and black nylon materials. While I’m not a big fan of patent leather on Air Jordan 1s (too squeaky), there’s no doubt these would have been a nice release. If you’d like you get your hands on this sample pair, they are available now on eBay through seller 2legit2quit78.

Nike’s Lunarlon technology has finally made it’s way to the world of basketball sneakers in the form of the Nike Lunarflow Hypergamer.

The Nike Air Max 90 colorways just keep coming. Using the usual leather upper, this it has received a fairly equal amount of red, white, black, and a hint of blue. This pair would make a great back-to-school sneaker. You can get them now at most Nike Sportswear stores, such as Primitive.
The already high-tech Air Jordan 2011 gets one last update, this time with a feature we’re used to seeing on Nike’s basketball and running sneakers. The entire upper has been reinforced with Flywire technology, creating an even stronger and more stable sneaker, and probably lighter as well. This first colorway has received a white and black color scheme, which consists black patent leather over white full-grain leather. It almost looks like the love-child of the White/Black-Dark Concord XIs and the White/black IXs. Stay tuned for more info on Jordan Brand’s latest masterpiece. From Taobao.
Here’s a new teaser picture of the upcoming 2012 White/Black-Cement Grey Air Jordan IV Retro. I’m not sure if it’s the paint or the lighting, but the cement grey on these looks significantly darker than on the originals or 1999 Retro release. Also, the speckles look to be more grayish than before, almost blending in with the cement color. Hopefully we’ll get some really clear shots in the near future. From MN.

Glow blue laces were added to match the sole. There’s no need to wait for these, as they are currently available at JD Sports.

After the release of the Jordan Fly Wade, it seemed highly unlikely that Jordan Brand would release the Air Jordan Fly 23, mainly due to their similar appearance. Fortunately, Jordan Brand gave them the go ahead, and they are on the way. This Black/White colorway is one of the first releases we’ll see. Using a shiny leather and mesh material, the upper has been done in black, contrasted with white accents, and a matching white outsole. Expect to see them in stores next month. From Sole-Patrol.
The Air Max 95 gets a more stealthy appearance with this new black/iguana release.

They are available now for £115.00 ($188.16) sold exclusively at JD Sports.
So far, we’ve seen quite a few Dunk SB models inspired by previous releases both SB and GR, but what about some original color schemes? Don’t worry, Nike SB has you covered.

A matching black swoosh is held onto the sneaker via yellow contrast stitching, and a white and blue sole complete the look. They won’t be available for a while, but judging from the pics, it’ll definitely be worth the wait.
Today I’ve got a few more pics of the upcoming 2011 “Last Shot” Air Jordan XIVs. Unlike a lot of retro releases, Jordan Brand decided not to make any changes, keeping all of the colors and fabrics the same as the original and 2006 releases. If you can’t wait until the Last Shots officially hit stores, you can purchase them now at Kicks-Lab.
