The timing is interesting.  Having seen the first Air Trainer II in about eight months earlier today, Nike is dropping a new edition of the subsequent model.  The Nike Air Trainer III is back in a colourway that just can’t go wrong: grey, black and red with a touch of white.  These also feature an interesting geometrical pattern on the lining that peeks out just a bit around the ankle.  If you like the retro high-tech look done up in a classic palette, cop these now on eBay.

Popular Cali brand, The Hundreds is back with some new summer releases from their Footware division. The upcoming collection features new colorways of the Johnson Low and Mid, as well as the Valenzuela. You may remember seeing The Hundreds models that dropped last month, and if you are kicking yourself for missing them, know that the summer line-up will more than make up for it. All three models feature canvas uppers for a lightweight, breathable summertime feel. The Johnson Mid will be available in aqua/grey, purple/lime green, white/peach and classic black/white. The Johnson Low comes with solid uppers in green, blue, black and white, all with a red stripe at the top of the white midsoles. The Valenzuela features a very casual style with traditional black and white colorways and a third option of red for a slightly bolder look. All three Valenzuela models sport a white midsole with a red stripe and a gum toe cap. Look for the entire summer collection to be available at The Hundreds Los Angeles and San Francisco stores this coming Thursday, April 23rd.

Sneakerheads either love or hate Nike SB Dunk Mid’s strap, but most were thrilled to see the ‘Sea Crystal’ treatment on a new pair of Mids.  The Nike SB Dunk Mid Premium pictured above differ from the original Highs, in that they feature ice green on the entire upper.  This rich suede finds contrasts in a black leather Swoosh, lining and outsole, while the white midsole adds a mild touch.  These will probably drop sometime next month to US Nike SB accounts, but you can have them now from Arktz.

If Game 1 of the NBA Playoff matchup between Cleveland and Detroit was any indication, the Palace of Auburn Hills will be as dark as these new kicks very soon.  The Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III appears here in two new pairs.  They’re very similar, with the only difference being a little bit of white.  One pair is as dark as it gets in the ‘Triple Black’ colourway, while the other features some white (looks more like grey from here) on the outsole, Swoosh and laces.  Both are likely to drop sometime between now and the beginning of the 2009-10 season, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via NLB.net

Tiffany is famous for its jewelry, no doubt, but even more so in the sneakerhead community as an inspiration for some of the most noteable Nikes ever.  This new pair brings the two aspects of Tiffany fame together into one bright package.  The Nike Womens Air Max 1 appears above in a combination of metallic silver and turquoise.  The metallic color comprises most of the upper, while touches of turquoise suede along with laces, linings and midsoles in the same blue/green hue make for an excellent balance.  These would be just as home on smaller male feet as females, both of which can cop these now on eBay.

Nike Skateboarding has been working hard this year trying to keep their marquee Dunks hot as they move into the Blue Box era.  We have seen a number of Nike SB Dunk Highs drop lately that seem to tickle the fancy of SB heads such as the un-Heaven’s Gate a while back and yellow/black SB High that came up recently.  Along with recent releases, we have gotten a fair share of what lies ahead for Nike Skateboarding including an enigmatic catalog picture of the sample shown above.  Scheduled for a fall 2009, this black/sport-red looks very promising as is styled with a mixture of what looks to be black and red suede along with a translucent red out-sole.  Be sure to peep the detailed photos after the jump, where you can also catch a glimpse of the Kevlar laces on these Dunk Highs.  Keep in mind this is only a sample, so be sure to keep it locked on Sneaker News for updates.  Big ups to Jah Sonora of Sole Collector Forums for the crisp photographs.

Every year in addition to the McDonald’s All-American Game, Jordan Brand has been hosting a High School All-American Game of their own. For the past few years the game has been held in New York City’s own Madison Square Garden, and each player that is invited is given a large amount of free gear from Jordan Brand, but perhaps the best “gear” that is given to these future NBA All-Stars are the Air Jordan Player Exclusive shoes. This year members of the respective Jordan Brand Classic teams were given this Air Jordan M5 (Carmelo Anthony signature shoe) in a Player Exclusive colorway of White, Metallic Silver, and Varsity Red, and Black with the Jordan Brand Classic logo featured on the shoe’s tongue. The shoe’s are extremely limited but are available now via Osneaker.com

Color: White/Metallic Silver-Varsity Red-Black

The latest Cortez-containing pack we saw featured clean tonal styling on the vintage silhouette.  These new joints prove that although the original Cortez carved out a niche that’s likely to last, the updated model has plans for the future as well.  The Nike Cortez Flymotion appears here in a nice black, white and red colourway.  The design is relatively simple, save the blurred splatter print on the rear quarter/heel area.  This pair is set to drop in Fall 2009 and we’ll keep you posted with more information.  via HS

Here’s something new to whet your apptetite for Jordan Brand retros.  The Jordan Jumpman Pro Low dropped about a dozen years back as the first Team Jordan sneaker.  Helping to establish the newly ‘independent’ JB, this shoe was a major variation on the Air Jordan XII design, seen on the feet of early Jordan-branded ballers like Eddie Jones.  Featuring a simple white on black construction, this pair is set to release in August 2009 to Jordan Brand retailers like Foot Locker.

None of the quotes from the film that gave this pack its name can be quoted here, so let’s stick to the basics.  The quadruple collaboration between Stussy, Undefeated and realmad HECTIC on the New Balance MT580 Full Metallic Jacket collection is about to drop.  Set for a Wednesday, April 29th release, the three shiny runners are now available for pre-order from Deep Inside Inc.  It remains unclear whether if these are slated for stateside release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.
