We saw one of these pairs back in December, but with the wealth of other realeases on tap, these were held back.  Joining the khaki-coloured original are two other ALIFE Everybody Highs in subdued tones.  These joints all feature a mix of ‘normal’ and perforated suede plus leather atop a gum sole.  Each comes with checkered laces and are available now at Huf.

We saw a hightop pair from the Icy Pack earlier this week and here’s a low.  The Air Jordan 1 PHAT Low GS appears here in a colourway that would be perfect for hunting for eggs today.  Contrasting pastelle yellow with white, they have that quintessentially Springy feel.  Kids, ladies and anyone with smaller feet can pre-order these now before the April 25 release at atmos.

These are mostly just to drool over, as they’re a 1 of 1 custom.  Worcester, Massachusetts’ own HUSH did up a pair of Nike Blazer Highs, and the result might leave you speechless.  These joints feature an all black canvas design with tonal stitching.  They are balanced by white on the eyelets, midsole, tongue tag and heel tab.  The latter of these and a small tag on the outer side panels display the artist’s name.  An interesting touch is the use of the ‘Prep’ insoles for this pair’s only splash of colour.  Enjoy the pics and maybe you’ll be inspired to produce something striking of your own.  via N-SB.org

This morning UNION NYC quietly released their first Nike collaboration to the public, the UNION NYC x Nike Dunk Hi Challenge Supreme. As you can see from the name of this Dunk and the colors and patterns used, inspiration came from the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hot Lava colorway. Another interesting note is the heel strap which came from the Nike Vandal, on the strap is the collaborative UNION logo. Only 100 pairs of this Dunk has been made and by the time you read this, they have probably been sold out already. Your best bet at this point is to wait for them to show up on ebay.

Name: Union NYC x Nike Dunk High Challenge Supreme

Ato Matsumoto has released some interesting hightops lately and here’s another new design with a strap similar to the first pair we saw.  The Ato Matsumoto Haikattosunika, or ‘Hiker Sneakers’ look more like AM’s answer to the Nike Air Yeezy than a true hiking boot, but they’re pretty dope despite the misnomer.  With a pair each in white or black, both feature tonal patent laeather on the midfoot strap and black plastic eyelet wings near the toe and ankle.  If you like what you see, cop these now from Rowgage.

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was Jordan Brand’s first non-basketball athlete and his latest cross-trainer has just released.  The Air Jordan Jeter Captain gets its name from the heart and soul of four World Series champion teams.  Favoring a more neutral black and white colourway instead of the Yanks’ traditional navy blue and white, these joints keep the Bronx Bombers’ signature pinstripes on the underlay.  These feature visible Air in the heel and a rugged outsole perfect for all types of athletic endeavors, and are available now from Sneakerhead.

The flowery Sakura pattern is back in a big way.  This is the latest in a line of Nike Air Force 1 Womens releases to utilize the familiar print.  Instead of wrapping the petal pattern around the rear quarter, these joints find the flowers on the side panels.  It’s a contrast of deep and light purple, whereas the rest of the shoe is done in deep purple leather.  Throw in white laces, Swoosh, heel tab and midsoles, and this is a well balanced effort.  Dainty feet can have these now from Sneakerhead.

The Nintendo Wii is occupying a hefty market share in video game console sales despite its dated graphics because of the amazingly fun motion-sensitive controllers.  We already saw two members of this pack release that were aesthetically impressive enough to stop you in your tracks and here is another pair of new pairs.  The Nike Air Max 95 and Sky Force High pictured above are both inspired by Nintendo’s wonderful white box. 

The AM95s go the clean route by laying a silver mesh over the white patent leather upper, while using silver for other accents.  The classic runner has a translucent sole like the Sky Force, but the old school basketball hightop adds orange outlines to the Swoosh, eyelets and tongue logo (which is shaped like the Wii’s power button).  Throw in an embossed safari print on the side panels and circuit board-like laser etching around the ankle area, and you have some room to move between these two choices.  These are available now, and we’ve seen them at retailers like Proper.

Some eagerly anticipated Air Jordan models are scheduled to drop tomorrow. Two Air Jordan Force Fusion IX models and two Air Jordan I Retro’s will create a real dilemma for sneakerheads as they try to make some tough decisions on which kicks to cop. The talk of the day will be the “Hare” Jordan Retro Premier models, which will drop in two colorways, one for men and the other limited to girl’s (GS) sizes. The AJF 9 is giving Fusion models a good name thanks to its tendencies to stay true to the original Air Jordan IX design. The Air Jordan Force IX will be available beginning tomorrow in White/Black/Varsity Red and White/Black/University Blue, both conjuring up some classic Jordan flavor. If need be, use the rest of the night to mull over the difficult choice, but be advised that all four are limited releases and you might not find them at retail price for long.
