As most of you Jordan fans know the next Air Jordan Fusion will be the Air Jordan Force IX (AJF 9) and this next colorway that we have to show you is of an LS (Lifestyle) release, meaning they will be a bit more limited than most GR (General Release) colorways. This particular colorway is inspired and taken off of the original Air Jordan IX “Charcoal” which has a similar color schematic of Black, Varsity Red, and of course Charcoal. Whether you love them or hate them, get used to the whole Air Jordan Force Fusion concept that Jordan Brand has come up, because after the AJF 9′s are the AJF 4′s. via Kenlu

We’ve already showed you some looks at the Dunk High collaboration between art/fashion/culture magazine, Nylon, and Nike Sportswear. They have been spotted turning heads during New York Fashion Week and now we get some more close-up shots of the green pair to drool over. Made up of what else but nylon materials, these stunners were originally thought to be a women’s release, but these pics bring hope for the guys. These images allow a great look at the Nylon logos on the tongue and across the upper. These are expected to arrive some time this June in green, pink and yellow. via nitrolicious.

The Nike Hypermax is poised to make a big splash in 2009. Following up on the wild success of the Hyperdunk last year, it seems that Nike has big plans for its successor. With its ankle strap, full Air Max Sole unit and the use of Flywire technology, the Hypermax is an elite performance basketball sneaker that will surely be tearing up courts everywhere later this year. If you can’t wait until the summer to get these on your feet, Osneaker has a white/red/black and white/navy colorway in stock now.

The Air Penny 1/2 Cent hybrid sneaker caused quite a buzz in the sneaker world when they recently hit shelves, and now we finally get a look at the upcoming Blackout edition. With so many releases so far in 2009, the year has belonged to the Penny’s and this release should only help the cause. The black on black theme really accentuates some of the shoe’s nice features like the metallic Penny logo, braided laces and the white line graphics inside the Swoosh. We don’t have any official word on a release date, but at the rate the Penny’s have been dropping, hopefully it shouldn’t be too long. We’ll keep you posted. via niketalk.

We have recently seen some new Nike Air Trainer III’s and it appears that more are on the way. Nike will release this Light Charcoal/Volt colorway as part of an upcoming pack that will hit 21 Mercer and a few quickstrike accounts some time in early April. This is one of the most elaborately designed Trainer III’s ever seen. The light grey/navy/volt color combo looked great already, but Nike went the extra mile, adding matching snakeskin leather around the toe and a colorful painted midsole reminiscent of the Air Jordan VII design. Stay tuned for release info and details on what else will be included in this pack. via soleblvd.

The Nike Air Max 90 Current Flywire was first debuted during last year’s 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics when they were given away to various Nike athletes and influencers, later they were sold in limited numbers at the NSW retail space on 21 Mercer Street in New York City. While we’ve shown you two colorways of the AM90 Current Flywire in all Red and all Black that are slated for a Summer 2009 release, here is another colorway of the shoe in Black, Varsity Red, and White which was actually one of the colorways that were given to athletes during the Olympics last year. Expect these to be released at select Nike Sportswear retailers in the Summer months of this year as well.

Even though it might not want to reach in your pockets any more for another Air Max 95, you are probably going to have to after seeing this JD Sports exclusive. This black / blue sapphire AM95 has a couple special features, so we’ll just start out by commenting on the slick, glossy, black mid-sole bottomed out by a blue sapphire out-sole accompanied by blue sapphire inside the air bubble. In between the smooth, shiny black leather and black netting on the upper are two portions styled with a design similar to what you may see on an EKG screen in black and blue set against a grey background. Head over to cop these before they are sold out at JD Sports’ online store.

Not too long ago, we saw a fresh denim take on the Nike Dunk High in the form of the Savage Denim Dunk High from none other than Lazy (Lazything, Akalazy). Usually, we don’t see full size runs of dope custom sneakers available to the public for purchase, especially from the likes of Lazy. In a move that will surely solidify his position as one of the world-wide sneaker community’s leading customizers, Lazy has cooked up a ridiculously fresh take on the Nike Dunk Low. Dubbed by its creator as the “Bloody Lazy” Dunk Low, this shoe takes the use of fabric and exotic textures to another level.
The upper of the shoe is completely adorned with a rich, red textile that flows seamlessly from section to section without the use of visible stitching. Adding am appropriately high-end flavor to this work of art is the croc skin Swoosh, which is styled with a rich, mahogany finish and a slight tint of red. To add the icing to the cake, Lazy has skillfully stuffed the tongue on this Dunk Low in order to give the shoe that comfy, Nike SB vibe. Unlike his most recent releases, this Dunk will be available in a super-limited quantity of 6 pairs. Be sure to get your credit cards/Paypal accounts ready come this Sunday night (February 22nd) at 10pm EST when you’ll need to cross your fingers in the hopes of beating everyone else to copping these beauties off of Lazy’s website.

The Jumpman Team Pro was one of the first releases from the independent Jordan Brand back in 1997. A lot of sneakerheads were excited to see the shoe re-released in so many colorways at the end of last year, but now the color possibilities become limitless thanks to Nike ID. The Jumpman Team Pro has just joined the ID roster and is one of the most infinitely customizable models yet.
In addition to synthetic leather, patent and lizard emboss material options, you can choose as many as three different colors to cover the midsole/outsole. You can even choose the color of the Jordan logo on the heel and create personalized text on the pull tab. Whether you are a fan of this sneaker or not, the creative freedom allowed by this Nike ID model is worth checking out. You don’t have to cop them, but guaranteed you’ll have a blast creating a couple pairs on the site.

Ten degrees north, twenty-eight degrees east are the coordinates for somewhere in southern central Sudan. While plenty of sneakers are sold with the intention of helping conditions abroad, none are earmarked specifically for Darfur. Plus, given the several hundred miles it lies northwest of the coordinates above, it’s unlikely that Feiyue was making a political statement with their latest lifestyle sneaker. Whatever the inspiration, the Shanghai-based company is back with the new 10N 28E model in both canvas and leather. There are six basic colourways to choose from, so take a look at the pics after the jump, then cop one or more from D-mop. Via HB
