HUF, along with a number of other stores in the US, are releasing the 'Blue Lobster' Nike Dunk Low Premium SB tomorrow. While the hype around Nike SB releases died off a few years back now, there has been a bit of a resurgance with this release. While we haven't been able to get our hands on any of these, we do have a few other Nike SB releases coming in the next week of two, including some Dunks, and the Nike Air Trainer 2 SB.

Nike Dunk Low Premium SB - Blue Lobster
HUF, along with a number of other stores in the US, are releasing the 'Blue Lobster' Nike Dunk Low Premium SB tomorrow. While the hype around Nike SB releases died off a few years back now, there has been a bit of a resurgance with this release. While we haven't been able to get our hands on any of these, we do have a few other Nike SB releases coming in the next week of two, including some Dunks, and the Nike Air Trainer 2 SB.
Nike Air Max 1 vs Nike Air Maxim
Kicks/HI included today in their newsletter some great comparative shots of the coming Nike Air Max 1 vs the recently released, and Air Max 1 based, Nike Air Maxim. Check them out below...



While we haven't been able to source any of the original colourway Air Max 1, we should have the Air Maxim available some time next week.

Air Jordan VI - black / infrared
Gradiant Magazine has featured some shots of the Air Jordan 6 retro which is scheduled for another release next year. After last being released in this colourway in 2000, they are due back in January 2010 with US retail price apparently set at USD$150.

Nike Air Max 90 - Dave's Quality Meats hyperstrike
The general release of the Dave's Quality Meat Nike Air Max 90, which dropped in 2004 through General Pants in Australia, and a number of other stores globally, are one of the hottest collaborations we've seen. Better yet was the hyperstrike release which was available only to a handful of people from Nike and Dave's Quality Meats. The hyperstrike featured the Dave's Quality Meat logo on the tongue, a cut of meat on the innersole, and scuff marks on the cracked leather toe box. If you're a size 9 and don't mind dropping over a grand on a pair of sneakers, you can cop a pair now from eBay seller grocery_tw.
Nike Air Max 95 - neutral grey / neon yellow / dark charcoal

Nike has scheduled the neutral grey / neon yellow / dark charcoal Nike Air Max 95 for another release in 2010, less than twelve months after their last release. I was in Foot Locker in Sydney just today and they still have pairs in some sizes sitting on the shelves. It's a little odd to see a re-release so soon. There seems to be a lot of retro Nike running shoes releasing at the moment including the ultramarine Air Max 180 which we will have available next week, and of course the white / red and white / blue Nike Air Max 1 which has just dropped in Europe.
Nike Air Max Classic - grey / cement / dragon red
Size? has just added this grey / cement / dragon red Nike Air Classic BW, apparently part of the 'textile pack'. The colourway isn't too bad and the safari print has been kept to a minimum, appearing only on the tongue. The material used on the toe box and side panel however looks a little better suited to the Pegasus 89 it looks like it's been borrowed from. A little bit of mesh and these could have been a winner!
Available now from Size! here

Nike Air Max Light - black / white / gold
We posted this Nike Air Max about a month ago when they released in Europe. We've been able to source a size run and should have them available by end of next week.
Nike Air Max Lebron VII - white / red
Nike appears to have switched things up a little with the seventh and latest sneaker in Lebron James' signature line. As the name and above photo suggests, Max Air is used instead of Zoom Air, and Nike's lightweight flywire has been used on much of the upper. Personally I think this looks more like a combination of some of Tim Duncan's and Vince Carter's earlier releases.

Nike Air Structure 91 - white / aquamarine / cinder
Nike gives this white / aquamarine / cinder Nike Air Structure 91 the block pattern treatment, although a little more subtly than on the Nike Air Pegasus we posted a moment ago. They're available now via eBay from 95soleman.
Nike Air Pegasus - black / glass blue / volt
I guess we should be thankful we got as many original colourways as we did before Nike went a little wild with the Nike Air Pegasus 89. This black / glass blue / volt colourway is already available through a few sellers on eBay, including shaolin8. The block letter print around the top lace holder has been used on a couple of sneakers from Nike recently, including a new Nike Air Structure we'll post in a moment.
Nike Air Trainer SC - white / grey / orange / stealth
Foot locker
Air Jordan 12 - Rising Sun - white / black / varsity red
The Air Jordan 12 appears to be back for 2009, with this white / black / varsity red colourway appearing recently in sample form on eBay, and now available for sale pre-release from Marquee Sole. While I'm not the greatest fan of the Air Jordan 12, Nike has done a nice job on these with the predominantly white upper featuring perforated leather on alternate 'sun beams'.
Available now in sizes 8.5 to 11 for USD249.99 here, or you can wait until they release.

Nike Air Max ST - grey / black
We mentioned earlier this week the white / black / red colourway of the Nike Air Max ST would be dropping in Australia at Foot Locker on July 1. It appears the UK has the jump on us, with both the original white / black / red and grey / black colourways releasing through JD Sports affiliated Size?. if you can't wait for them to release in Australia, and have a connection in the UK (Size? doesn't shit outside the UK), you can cop them both now here.
coming soon to JD Sports
It's been a few weeks since JD Sports have updated their 'coming soon' page, but it was worth the wait! Over the next few months they have (from top to bottom) the grey / white / hot red / blue Nike Air Max Light due in June, and in August are expecting the white / blue / grey Nike Air Max ST, and what might be a grey / white / max orange or infrared Nike Air Max 90. While both the Air Max 90 and Light will be exclusive to JD Sports, the Air Max ST is likely to see a wider release and we'll be trying to source them.
Nike Air Max Light - white / flint grey / medium green
This white / flint grey / medium green colourway of the Nike Air Max Light has just dropped at Purchaze. With materials kept pretty much true to the original, these would be a favourite.

Nike Air Max 1 - Safari
Nike haven't let up with their use of the safari print, bringing out another four Nike Air Max 1s with uppers heavily adorned with it. While the front two colourways are a little on the bright side, the white / blue and black / orange colourways look good. Available now from boutiques in the US including Proper, although we haven't been able to find these available online as yet.

Air Jordan - Spring 2010 preview
A bunch of catalogue shots from Jordan Brand's Spring 2010 range was shown on UpTempoAir recently, and SneakerNews put together the above image of a selection of the best. As well as a number of Jordan 1s, there are two Jordan 6s coming - a black / infrared colourway, and a new white / black, which is reminiscent of the white / navy colourway, worn by both Ray Allen and Vin Baker at Sydney Olympics in 2000, and later released in limited numbers.

New sample pics of the Do The Right Thing Air Jordan 1 pack have come to light. Having dropped the patterned interior, they are also an improvement on earlier samples. Expected to release next month, hopefully this is the final product.

Foot Locker recently released a few sneakers from their Co* (co-star) range, including this Converse Attache.

Nike Zoom Soldier III - grey reptile / yellow
Nike is due to release yet another colourway in what has become my favourite basketball sneaker in a while, the Nike Zoom Soldier III. This grey reptile / yellow colourway features a reptile skin embossed upper where previous released have sported patent leather. Also featuring an orangey inner, these remind me a a lot of the original safari inspired Air Max 1.
Nike Air Pegsus
Nike keeps coming with clean new Nike Air Pegasus 89 colourway. This light grey / black / violet colourway is due to release via Overkill shortly, although hasn't appeared on their site as yet.
Nike Air Max 1 - medium grey / white / dark obsidian
Purchaze in Germany have just released this medium grey / white / dark obsidian Nike Air Max 1. Nike really hasn't gone too far wrong with these, unless of course they end up being a Europe only release...
Available now from Purchaze
