By 1996, Ken Griffey Jr. was already well on his way to becoming one of baseball’s all-time greats. The fame, fortune and glory were nice, but we all know there is nothing quite like getting your own signature Nike sneaker. Unfortunately, Griffey’s promising career was eventually derailed by a string of injuries and his potential record-shattering paces were slowed significantly, but at the end of the day, he’s still got the shoes. Now you can have them too. The popular Air Griffey Max 1 is finally back in the black and white colorway with Fresh Water green accents to show his then Seattle Mariner pride. Look for these now at select Nike retailers including nikestore.com.

With Nike dropping a dope Easter-themed Air Force 1 and several other AF1s with a springy feel, it’s only right that Reebok is turning to one of its basketball icons for inspiration. The atmos x Reebok Sir Jam Mid Easter Pack features four pastel versions of the classic court kick. Purple, Yellow, Gren or Blue suede makeup the majority of these peeps, with sparkle-enhanced black patent leather forming the tongue and Reebok stripe. Be the only person on your block to cop these in advance of the April 12 holiday and feel free to keep on rockin’ em long after, when you cop yours now exclusively at atmos.

Two of Nike Sportswear’s newest models have received some good feedback from various sneaker lovers, the two shoes we’re talking about are the Air Royal and Air Elan, which essentially are the same style only the Royal is a mid cut while the Elan is a low cut. Here is a look at the two Premium versions of each shoe due out in the next few months. The Nike Air Royal Premium features a shiny Metallic Silver upper mixed with a White outsole giving the shoe a premium feel to it. The Elan on the other hand will be a great Summer shoe as it’s an all White shoe that features a hint of Metallic silver on the shoe’s tongue. Look for these to drop in the next few months at select Nike Sportswear retailers. via Hypebeast

Nike Skateboarding (SB) tends to focus primarily on street skaters, but Converse hasn’t forgotten about the ‘other’ style of skating. Having recently signed vert legend Rune Glifberg, Converse Skateboarding is releasing the Weapon X Hi. Shown here in black/red/white or white/spruce green, the strapped hightop features leather construction atop a vulcanized rubber sole. A nifty alternative to the recent deluge of super-hightops, you can cop these now at CCS.

We just saw a new release from Converse Skateboarding, and although these aren’t a new model, the pair pictured above is enjoying its time in this dope new style. The Vans J-Lay Mid Fade is Johnny Layton’s pro model. Vans has been relying heavily upon classic models, but these joints show that they still got it, and vulcanized rubber soles still have their place in the griptape game. The dark purple suede toe on these gives way to canvas, upon which a gradient from dark to a very light lilac colour is placed. Feel free to cop these now from BSS.

Yesterday, we saw a torrential downpour of New Balance runners set to drop later this year. Nike isn’t sleeping on theirs either, and here are a bunch set to drop later this year. Key amongst these are the Air Max 1 commemorating the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s lunar landing and an Air Max 95 that joins two other dope kicks in the Wii Pack. Along with those are some other AM1s, a tight new Air Structure Triax, a single Air Max Light, one Air Classic BW and two other Air Max 90s. We expect these over the next three months during the Summer 2009 fashion season and will have more pics and information on each as their individual releases approach. via Kenlu//edited by Sneaker News

Nike Basketball recently introduced us to one of their new models that is currently being worn by various players both in the NBA and NCAA, the Nike Blue Chip, and as the Summer months start to creep up on us, this shoe will be introduced in a low cut style to make it more suitable for the hot Summer months spent out on the blacktop. This “Love & Pain” pair features a premium Black leather upper with a Gum outsole and hints of Gold accented across the upper of the shoe. Inside on the shoe’s insoles you can find a graphic for “Love” on one shoe and the other “Pain”. Pick these up now exclusively at the Nike House of Hoops.

Last week we found a number of pairs of the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid on eBay but did not have a definite word on release else where, this morning they dropped on nikestore.com.
Tennis great, Andre Agassi’s shoe, the Nike Air Tech Challenge was one of Nike’s hottest models back in the late 80′s and early 90′s and was even embraced by those with no appreciation whatsoever for tennis. There were four Air Tech Challenge models released between 1989 and 1992 and now the most recognizable attributes of each have all been combined into one shoe that pays homage to the entire line.
We showed you another colorway of the Air Tech Challenge Hybrid a few months back, but this one seems to do it even more justice in terms of trying to capture the look of all four. You can immediately pick out the Lava graphics from the ATC II, the wavy Volt Yellow section from the ATC III and the wildly colorful heel from the ATC IV, but you’ll have to look closer to find other retro inclusions in this hybrid design. Thanks sugaray for the heads up.
