Nike Air Max Lebron VII - white / black / turquoise colourway

Admittedly, I didn't like the Nike Air Max Lebron VII when they first released. My feeling was they borrowed too heavily from earlier signature lines of both Vince Carter and Tim Duncan. It's amazing then what switching up the colourway and a few materials can do for an opinion. This white / black / turquoise colourway features a woven upper instead of the flywire adorning earlier releases. While they're still not for me, they are definitely an improvement on the colourways we've seen to date, and have me on the other side of the fence now.

Nike Air Max Classic BW - black / white / neon orange

What can I say? JD Sports continues to kill it with their exclusive colourways, recently dropping another Nike Air Max Classic BW in a black / white / neon orange. From JD Sports -

The Nike Air Max Classic BW, or 'Big Window', was first introduced in 1991, its distinctive style was so popular that they've decided to bring it back! This men's re-issue is exclusive to JD and comes in a synthetic and mesh mix upper with contrast neon orange accents. There's also an embroidered Nike brand logo on the tongue and rubberised Swoosh and 'Nike Air' logos on the side and back plus the classic visible air unit in the sole.

Available from JD Sports here (shipping within the UK only).

Reebok The Pump

The white / orange / blue colourway of these Reebok the Pump released in Australia in about 1993, at a time when the media was right up on kids getting rolled for their expensive sneakers and (Starter) jackets. These puppies retailed in Australia for AUD399 - almost 2x the most expensive sneakers at the time. They were rocked heavily by the Sydney Kings, at about the same time I used to attend basketball camps run by the Kings, including Steve Carfino and coach Bob Turner. While they are a nice clean colourway, and make me reminisce of time of old, they are way too high for me to rock myself now. If you're into them, they will be available in limited numbers in coming months as part of Reebok's 20th anniversary of The Pump.

Air Jordan VI Retro - white / varsity red / black

2010 is shaping up to be a pretty impressive year for retro Nike releases. These white / varsity red / black Air Jordan 6s aren't too far from the original release specs, with the exception of the infrared being replaced by a duller varsity red. Should be available for pre-sale from OSneaker soon, and following that are apparently a limited US only release.

Nike Blazer SB Quickstrike - Dexter Blood Splatter

As a big fan of the TV show Dexter, it was cool to see this Nike Blazer SB Quickstrike - Dexter Blood Splatter - release previewed on HUF's site today. Available from HUF now.

Nike Air Max ST - white / grey / orange / purple

This white / grey / orange / purple Nike Air Max ST was added to Opium's news section recently. No word yet on when / where these will be released, but it's nice to see some more clean colourways of the Air Max ST coming out.

Nike Air 180 - white / black / lemon yellow

The Nike Air Max 180 has been released sparingly since it's first retro release in late 2005. 2010 will see at least one more release, with this white / black / lemon yellow expected in the northern Spring.

Nike Air Max 90 - black / anthracite

Part of Nike's rivals pack, these black / anthracite Nike Air Max 90s have just released at selected retailers in the US. The simple colourway is set off with a mix of materials including a mesh toe box, and contrasting white laces. We'll be getting the earlier released white / white / varsity maize colourway in next week, and will be trying to get these in too.

Air Jordan Retro - white / white ??

I'm sure there is a tonne of stuff in the works behind closed doors at Nike HQ which we never get to see. Information is usually closely guarded, and these days it seems most information or images we see, we see because Nike wants to tease us. That gives me hope that there might be some substance to the above shot of (from L to R) white / white Jordan 9, Jordan 10, Jordan 11, Jordan 12, Jordan 13, Jordan 14!!! The shot was taken by Chris Paul on a recent trip to Nike's offices, and posted on his Twitter.

Dwyane Wade signs with Jordan Brand

News via Sole Collector is that Dwyane Wade has jumped from Converse to Jordan Brand. While a lot of the commentary online is this is the endorsement departure since Kobe Bryant left adidas to - after a year of 'sneaker free-agency' - sign with Nike, is this really big news? After all, both Converse and Jordan Brand are business units of Nike. Still, I've hated Wade's signature Converse sneakers, and thought idea of him lacing up a pair of Carmine Air Jordan VIs is something I like.

Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid

You might have noticed, aside from the Air Jordan AJF line, we haven't posted a whole lot of hybrids. The reason for that is this blog is all about sneakers we like, and there hasn't been a whole lot of hybrids which have fallen into that category. I've been on the fence with regard to the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid, until now that is. This black / mint green colourway is a beauty, and is said to be scheduled for release some time later in 2009.

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...

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!

Nike Air Max Light - black / white / gold

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 has a second colourway of the Nike Air Trainer SC set to release, this time in one of the original colourways - white / grey / orange / stealth. No word whether they will be available online, however for those in the US they will be available in store at Foot locker.
