What better way to show support for your country than with a pair of USA-colored Dunks? Takin inspiration from both the American flag and Bruce Springsteen’s album “Born in the U.S.A”, Nike has created this beautiful pair of Dunks. This pair has a mostly denim upper with a red swoosh, white tongue, and a red and white-striped heel. With a pair of these, no one would dare question your patriotism. From Dunkbar.
If you’re looking for something a little flashier, take a look at the Nike Dynasty High Dot Pack. The pack consists of two pairs, both decorated with circular spots. Hmm, they kinda remind me of a disco ball.
Usually a sneaker with an all grey upper looks quite simple, but if you throw in a little black behind the mesh fabric, it gives the illusion of shadows. That’s exactly the effect you get with this pair of Hyperfuses. The metallic silver swoosh definitely adds to this sneaker’s “stand-out” factor. These are available now at Marqueesole in select sizes, but hopefully they’ll receive an official release in the next couple of months.
I guess Long Island must be really popular with some of the folks at Nike. First, they brought back the “Jones Beach” AF1s, and now we get another pair, inspired by the Hamptons. It’s a very simple colorway, with a completely white upper, and a “Hamptons” symbol on the tongue. Turn the shoe upside down, and you’ll see a map of the area underneath the clear sole. The Hamptons Air Force 1 should be available at all House of Hoops locations on Saturday, July 10.

Nike’s inspiration for new Dunk SB color schemes has finally trickled down to video games with the upcoming Street Fighter Pack. The first colorway uses the Dunk Low cut, and takes design cues from Chun-Li’s costume. It has a blue upper with a white swoosh and matching laces, held together with yellow stitching. Of course, you can’t have anything Street Fighter-inspired without giving tribute to Ryu. The folks at Nike decided to go with the Dunk mids for these, using a white and black upper, finished off with a red swoosh. This is it so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see more colorways inspired by this awesome game series.
It must be nice being an adult with small feet. Not only are sneakers cheaper for those that can fit into kids sizes, there’s also exclusive colorways available. Take this new Air Jordan IX Retro GS model for example. This pair has a white upper, metallic silver midsole and turquoise laces. Also, the tongue has been decorated with lemon yellow lining. For those who still fit into these, you’ll definitely make a few onlookers envious. You can get these now at Extra Butter.

Here’s a sample Women’s Dunk colorway from Nike’s 6.0 lineup. Using full-grain leather, it has a mostly red and gold color scheme, except for the grey swoosh, which is actually made out of denim. Pretty clean colorway, hopefully they’ll make it to stores. If not, you can get this size 7 sample now on ebay.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Dunk Mids, the cut has always been a little weird for me. However, after seeing these, I think I can make an exception. This pair of Dunk Mids has a red suede upper with black leather on the toe heel and swoosh. The sneaker is finished off with a white and black sole. Both pieces are held together with red stitching. Also, notice that the God awful Velcro strap has been removed. IMO, it’s better to leave that feature for Sheed AF1s. I bet these look even better in person.
We’ve already seen the Team USA Kobe Vs, made for Kobe to wear in the FIBA Championships, but what about the rest of the team? For many of the Nike-sponsored players, most likely it’ll be this USA colored version of the Nike Hyperfuse. This pair has a white and obsidian upper, completed with an obsidian sole and sport red insole.
The Black/Citrus-White Air Jordan IXs are officially scheduled to hit stores tomorrow morning, but you can already get them online. They are currently available on Nike.com, Finish Line, and ebay. Grab your pair now before it’s too late!
