Anybody up for some more white AF1s?  The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Low appears above in another classic style for summer.  Nearly the entire shoe is white: leather upper, laces, tongue, sole.  The only additions to an otherwise blank template are royal blue accents on the tongue tag, heel tab and rear midsole area.  These have been out for a little while but since no one has written them up we thought we’d share. They will be perfect for your warm weather rotation and are available from Sneakerhead.

So much has been said about this package in anticipation of its release, it’s almost hard to believe they’re finally here.  The Air Jordan V Retro Toro Bravo Package contains two pairs of Chicago-coloured kickers we’ve been drooling over for months.  With a pair each in black reflective 3M or bright red suede, they’re unquestionably the hottest retros in a long while.  Previously slated for a May 30th release, they were pushed up to this Saturday, May 23rd to allow the Nubuck Air Jordan XIIs to shine separately.  If you have doubts about their availability in your area or whether you’ll be able to grab your own, you can avoid the rush and cop them today from Sneakerhead.

At the 21 Mercer Nike Sportswear Store in NYC, a run of solid light grey Air Force 1 Low Premium MX iD’s was created for Nike iD Studio customers to try on in the store. Apparently, so many of the people that tried them on asked if they could buy a pair, that Nike has now decided to produce a very limited run of the “Try-On’s” for a retail release. Only 35 pairs will be available to the public, to be split up between 21 Mercer in New York City, the Nike iD Studio in London and Tokyo’s AF1 Republic. Act fast if you are near one of these spots, because these super-clean kicks will not be around for long.

We gave you a preview of this latest Nike SB Dunk Low Premium model all the way back in March and now they are hitting stores in the U.S. as another one of Nike SB’s very solid May releases. These kicks are ultra-clean with a white on white upper that features sections of nubuck, suede and smooth leather with perforations on the toe box and midpanel. A white midsole and a classic-looking gum outsole add to the crisp look with minimal black accents on the tongue label and heel panel. Note that the tongue label is now white with black branding as opposed to the black with white print from previous samples. If you’ve been waiting around for these, you can get them right now at Kix-Files. You can check out a nice close-up of these beauties after the jump.

If it’s your own signature shoe, can it still be a PE?  The answer is that as long as the shoe is produced in a personalized colorway that isn’t released for retail, we guess it can. So is the case with this Air Penny IV that was made for Anfernee Hardaway during his stint with the Phoenix Suns. It’s a shame that Penny was always battling injuries in Phoenix or there may have been more demand for these to hit stores. Sadly, that will probably never happen, but this never worn deadstock model is available now in a size 15. If you are a Penny fan, an Air Penny IV fan, or you just think these kicks are sick, you can scoop them up from Osneaker. You can check out some detailed images of these rare stunners after the jump.

A little while ago, we showed you an Air Jordan 1 High model that uses a very similar colorway to this Jordan Phly Legend, so if you’re getting tired of the never ending string of Air Jordan 1 releases, these kicks offer a nice classic-looking alternative. The shoe sports a Faded Taupe canvas upper with a White toebox, midsole and laces and additional Midnight Navy trim on the toe, lining, tongue piping and a few other choice spots. The Jordan wings logo appears on the side of the ankle with the accompanying Jumpman embroidered onto the heel. The conservative colorway makes this one of the most versatile Phly Legend models yet, taking the shoe’s casual design and running with it by using a classy color scheme. If you are a fan of this latest version, you can find a pair right now at Sneakerhead.

Converse Japan’s Expo Okinawa collection continues with the latest edition of one of their most beloved models.  The Jack Purcell TG-Camo takes its inspiration from US military installations prevelant in the prefecture post-World War II.  Constructed with a ripstop nylon upper, they feature the same tiger stripe camoflauge worn by American servicemen during that era.  They feature a black foxing band that reaches forward to extend the toe cap further than most Purcell models.  Anything but invisible, you can cop thee now from FLAUGE.  via FRESHNESS

Most of you are probably well aware of Mayor’s legendary jaw-dropping Air Force 1 collection and for those that don’t know, instead of the original boxes, he stores his kicks in clear plastic containers, a move that makes perfect sense when you consider having to go through 1000+ pairs of kicks to find the ones you’re looking for. Taking this process to the next level of dopeness, Mayor and fellow Air Force 1 aficionado DJ Clark Kent, who received his box at the last Playmakers event, have been presented with personalized plexiglass sneaker boxes that resemble the Nike box blue-print, but are made completely see through so you never have to wonder what’s inside. The boxes are then customized with some personal touches like Mayor’s tag across one whole side of the box. Check out another view after the jump and hopefully we’ll get a peek at Clark Kent’s box and others in the near future. Via TheShoeGame.

The Nike Blazer is taking the reins from the Dunk for a while, and sneakerheads are sure to be satisfied with designs like these.  We’ve seen quite a few hemp shoes over the years, but this Nike Blazer Mid Womens selects a bamboo weave for a touch of something novel.  This light brown upper is perfectly contrasted by chlorophyll on the laces, tongue tag and midsole-toe, while white on the Swoosh, toecap and the rest of the midsole adds balance.  The ladies are lucky to have these all to themselves, but anyone with smaller feet can cop these from Nike Sportswear retailers like Standard now.

With its basic design and blank canvas upper, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star lends itself to a lot of design possibilities and over the years, Converse has explored quite a few of them. The latest concept to hit the Chuck Taylor is an Airmail theme. The shoe uses a white upper for the envelope and then includes the red and blue diagonal stripes that are found along the edges of an Airmail letter. Blue laces and additional red and blue midsole stripes help to get the point across, but just in case you missed it, the words “Via Airmail” are printed vertically down the heel panel. There is no specific word on a release date for these, but they should be hitting select Converse retailers in the near future. Via TheConverseBlog.

The Air Jordan 1 has had a big year so far, and with more summer releases lined up, you’d better plan on seeing a bunch more colorways of the classic sneaker before 2009 is over. This time around, the Air Jordan 1 High will be donning a less traditional color scheme, using a solid Khaki suede upper with a tonal canvas twill Swoosh. It appears that simplicity is the theme here, with only minimal accents spread throughout the design. A Midnight Navy tongue label, lining, laces and outsole join a clean white midsole and a Hyper Verde Jumpman logo on the tongue as the only additional touches of color. These Premium kicks are slated for a June 1st release, but several Jordan Brand retailers such as Sneakerhead have them in stock already, so respond accordingly if you are feeling these.
