With a lowtop of the Chad Muska Pro Model prompting a naming shift to ‘Skylow’, it was only a matter of time before we saw more of Supra’s staples in low versions.  The Supra Vaider Low appears here in three colours to help keep your feet cool this summer.  There’s one in red suede, another in white leather and a black mix of the two fabrics with Tiffany blue accents.  If you’re looking for a break from the ultra-hightop craze, cop these now from CCS.

The Air Jordan 1 Phat Low Polka Dot Pack keeps on growing and it looks like the rarely utilized chlorphyll is getting a little more attention as well.  The unique green hue is featured in pin-sized dots all over the white leather upper, as well as the laces, outsole and other accents.  All white side panels, toes and midsoles balance these nicely.  Set for an official release in June, you can grab these now from Kinetics.

If you wanna feel cool this summer, look no further.  The ALIFE Chuck appears above in a dope tonal blue canvas and suede construction.  The forefoot is darker azure in suede while the rear gives way to a relatively lighter shade made of canvas.  A nice blue stitch joins the upper to a white cup sole.  These are set to drop at ALIFE retailers like Standard in the coming days.  via CtotheJL

As it turns out, there are a few more on the way in addition to the May 2009 Nike SB releases we showed you last week.  The Blazer was conspicious by its absence in that earlier preview, but the extra time was well spent.  This pair is sure to satisfy in a mix of rich red suede and black leather.  Joining this ‘Bred’ beauty is a pair of Nike SB Classics.  A clean look for summer, the white leather upper features black, baby blue and pink accents.  As with the other SB drops, you can cop these now from CCS.

The comfort and performance of the Nike Free 5.0 V4 has been described by Nike as “like running barefoot.” That seems like a bold claim, but from what we already know about the Nike Free line, it’s probably a safe bet. In addition to a striking appearance with its sleek design and eye-grabbing Volt/Dark Army/White colorway, the Nike Free 5.0 V4 also flaunts some other impressive features. As indicated by its name, the shoe sports a Nike Free Phylite midsole as well as a “no-sew” construction to maximize comfort and cut down on chafing and a side lacing system similar to the Air Footscape. These fresh lightweight runners are available now at select Nike retailers. Via Kenlu.

As one of the shoes that ‘started it all’ by featuring visible Air cushioning technology, it was only a matter of time before the Nike Air Max 1 emerged in hybrid form.  We first saw this pair in early January, along with a blue counterpart.  The Nike Air Maxim 1 brings the classic AM1 design into the 00′s by adding Flywire side panels.  It’s likely that this red and white pair, along with the blue joints will hit retailers this fall, but you can get your hands on these samples early.  If you’re after these as a collector’s item or wanna rock the US men’s size 9, head to eBay now.

First it was the Nike Auto Force, a hybrid of the Nike Air Force 180 and the Nike Blazer, and now a new hybrid that is of a similar kind has surfaced, the Nike Auto Flight, which fuses the Nike Flight Light High upper with a Nike Blazer outsole. The first colorway that should be released is this Black and Infared colorway that is very nice and a little bit similar to the first colorway released of the Nike RT1. Expect the Nike Auto Flight to be released in stores in the Holiday 2009 Season, in other words the months of October or November. via Footlocker Unlocked

We already saw another Air Jordan 1 Phat Low sample earlier today (and expect a couple other dope samples in other styles later this afternoon), so let’s examine another one that will probably never make it to retailers.  This pair of AJ1 Phat Lows puts a spin on the classic ‘Bred’ colourway by adding a splash of yellow.  Yellow stitching all over plus embroidery on the tongue give these a unique look while terry cloth Swooshes on the side panels seal the deal.  As with most samples, these are only available in US men’s size 9, and you’ll need to act fast if you wanna cop these from eBay.

When we last saw the Puma Stepper, it was covered in gold dragon scales as the Terror King installment of Puma’s recent Monster Pack. Now the Stepper is back with a pack of its own and has just dropped in three new colorways as a part of Puma’s “Breakpoint” collection. You may remember seeing the Puma Clyde “Breakpoint” Pack a few weeks back and now its the Stepper’s turn. All three colorways feature rich perforated suede uppers in monochromatic color schemes. The red, blue and black versions all feature a mid cut with a white ankle collar providing the only accent on the upper. A slightly discolored white midsole gives all three colorways a nice vintage look. You can find the Puma Stepper Breakpoint Pack now at Cellophane. Via NiceKicks.

Your author’s first thought upon seeing these joints was “Man, I wish they weren’t just samples!”  The Nike Air Max 1 appears here in a dope white, grey and yellow colourway.  They feature an interestingly-knit white mesh on the toe area, which is framed by a yellow and black Safari print mudguard.  Since these were just a sample, they are only available in US mens size 9, and you’ll want to act fast if you wish to grab these on eBay.

The little used chlorophyll colourway is one of the most beloved versions of the Nike Air Trainer 1.  We saw the Trainer hybridized with an Air Max 90 yesterday, so what would happen if it was the 1987 edition instead, PLUS Flywire?  As crazy as it sounds, the Nike Air Max 1 Flywire hybrid, or Nike Air Maxim 1 as it’s now called, has itself been crossed with the Air Trainer 1 in this Frankenstein hybrid.  Unlike Mary Shelley’s monster, these joints are quite aesthetically pleasing, though they might take a bite out of your wallet.  A salesman’s sample, these are only available in US men’s size 9, and only if you get over to eBay fast!

The Air Jordan 1 Phat Low Tuxedo Prom Pack just dropped with a pair each in black or white.  The pair pictured above answers the question, “What if there was only a single pair?”  The Air Jordan 1 Phat Low Sample pictured above is a cool customer, appearing in a mix of white leather and black patent leather.   They also differ from the Prom Pack releases, in that these have ‘standard’ flat laces, whereas the Prom joints featured corded dress shoe lacces.  This salesman’s sample is a US size 9 and might be the only only pair you’ll ever see.  You can cop these now on eBay.
