By combing the lower portion the Air Max 97 with the upper of the Air Max 95, Nike has created the Air Max 24/7. Here’s a look at the the latest colorway, which done in Glass Blue, grey and black. I haven’t tried these on in person, but if they’re anything like the models they were based on, they should be the ultimate combination of comfort and styling.
Last year, Nike paid tribute to China with the “China Moon” Lebron VIIs. This year, the trend will continue with the Air Max Lebron VIII “China”. Instead of white and gold, the VIIIs will feature a mostly white upper decorated with red accents and a red splatter along the air sole. They are scheduled to release on December 7.

The usually plain Air Jordan II Retro gets some flavor with the all-new Candy Pack. The pack, which resembles the typical colors you see on candy, such as a lollypop, comes in three colorways: Red, Green, and Yellow. All three colorways have a black and white sole, and a combination of nubuck and leather has been used on the upper. The Candy Pack is scheduled to officially drop in November, but you can get them now at WestNYC and ebay as well.

With the 2010-2011 NCAA basketball season getting closer and closer, it’s no surprise to see a few Team exclusive colorways from the folks at Nike. This time however, they are making a few colorways available to us regular people. They have released a special NCAA pack, which includes the Hyperdunks in Texas and USC colorways, and the Hyperfuse in Kentucky and Syracuse colorways. You can cop the NCAA pack at House of Hoops stores and ebay as well.
Ok, we’ve already seen Air Force 1 Workboots, now how about a pair for hiking? Once again, Nike’s got you covered. This new lowtop pair has a grey upper, and in similar fashion to the Workboot AF1s, it has a perforated swoosh, and the same eyelets that you see on most boots. You can cop these now at Caliroots or on ebay.

Now here’s an Air Jordan 2010 colorway I bet you guys haven’t seen before. This unreleased color scheme was made exclusively for Michael Jordan, and was designed by none other than the great Tinker Hatfield. It has a mostly white upper, with black and orange accents, and a matching black sole. Good luck getting your hands on these, I don’t know how many pairs were produced, but I can tell you that there are very few around.
Nike’s latest Lebron sneaker, the Air Max Lebron VIII, made its debut in a very unusual color scheme. This Retro/Black-Pink Flash colorway was released exclusively to the newly-built Miami House of Hoops store. Although it doesn’t really match the team uniform, this colorway is still very Miami-ish. If you’re not in the Miami area, I’ve got good news: these are available in most sizes on ebay.

Banned? For those who don’t know the history, the Air Jordan 1 wasn’t always widely accepted by the NBA. When Jordan first wore these during his rookie year, he was immediately slapped with a huge fine for wearing sneakers that didn’t comply with uniform colors. The folks at Nike saw this as excellent marketing strategy, andtold Jordan to continue wearing the sneakers, while they covered the fines. This controversy, combined with MJ’s popularity, caused sales of the Air Jordan I to soar, and helped launch one of the most successful sneaker lines ever.
As a tribute, Jordan Brand is releasing this special version of the Black/Red Air Jordan 1 colorway, which looks very true to the original release. Also, notice the box, which is also similar to the OG Air Jordan 1 box. The main difference is the red “X”, placed on the sides of the box. I’ll keep you guys posted as more info on these becomes available.

Last weekend, House of Hoops stores received their first shipment of the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Grey Pack. The pack, which includes three pairs all done primarily in grey, offers a choice of wither black, red, or green accents. The colors have been added to the swoosh, laces and sock liner. Great choice if you’re looking for an awesome-performing shoe that’ll match with any pair of shorts.
Wow, these bring back memories of the hot CO.jp releases that came out about 10 years ago. The Deep Garnet/Anthracite Dunk Low has a garnet and anthracite upper, finished off with a black and white sole. If you get our hands on a pair of these, you are sure to turn heads.

For those of you who missed out on the 2005 release of the French Blue Air Jordan XIII Retro, you’ll finally get another chance in a couple months. The Navy/French Blue Air Jordan XIIIs will release again on Friday, November 26. I haven’t seen these in person yet, but from the pics, they look to be a pretty accurate replica of the originals. If history proves anything, these will sell out on the first day, so don’t sleep.

Combining the classic Air Force 1 with high tech Foamposite material, the folks at Nike have created the Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite. The upper has been completely draped in Foamposite material, and the sole has the uses a Max Air unit. This colorway has been done in all-black, giving it a stealthy appearance. Don’t be surprised to see more colorways in the near future.
