Air Jordan V (5)   Dark Army   Look See Sample

Jordan Brand is on quite a roll at the moment.  The Air Jordan V Toro Bravo Package is releasing early to make room for the Air Jordan XII ‘Nubucks’ and June shows no sign of letting up.  The Air Jordan V Retro pictured above is set to drop next month and we’ve seen a few different versions.  The most recent design features the ’23′ rear quarter embroidery we’ve come to expect from AJVs, along with a white sharkstooth with black splatter accents.  The earlier version had no embroidery and featured a cinder (think burgendy) midsole accent.  This pair also uses white stitching on the upper, instead of cinder for the official release joints.  As it turns out, those were pictures of a look see sample, and you can cop them in US size 9 from Marquee Sole.

Vans Era   Red   Black   Reflective Neon

Last week, we gave you a look at a safety-conscious Sk8-Hi model that made use of some hard-to-miss reflective neon accents and now the Vans Era joins the party. Like the Sk8-Hi, this Era model sports a combination of black suede and bright red nylon on the upper, but the standout features have to be the reflective neon yellow heel panel and Vans logo tab. A white midsole and some white contrast stitching on the upper round out the colorway. You can look good and alert oncoming traffic of your presence all in one shot by picking up a pair of these now at ABC-Mart.

Reebok Pump Court Victory II   Grey   Navy   Yellow

A few months ago, Reebok re-released the Pump Court Victory II in its original white/orange/royal colorway, and now the shoe is back with more of a contemporary color scheme. This version of the classic Reebok shoe features a solid light grey upper with a white midsole and navy/yellow outsole. Additional navy and yellow accents can be found throughout the design with a wild pattern covering the edges of the tongue and ankle collar. If you missed out on the classic Michael Chang Pump Court Victory II, these might be your next best bet. They  have already been released abroad at spots like SneakersNStuff and are expected to hit select Reebok retailers in the States soon. Until then, you can see some detailed close-ups after the jump.

Orchard Street x Reebok Answer XIII

Though it’s still unclear if they’ll ever reach an NBA court, the new Reebok Answer XIII is already receiving attention from collaborators.  This design from Orchard Street offers a bright take on the diagonally-vented basketball sneaker.  These feature a metallic silver upper with black underlay.  OS added their signature early 90′s vibe by applying fuchsia on the midsole and lining, plus purple on the tongue.  Gone is the ‘ai’ tongue tag, which has been replaced by an OS branded square.  Whether these drop or not, stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via Kenlu

Nike Air Classic BW   Black   Sport Red   Grey

While it may not receive the fanfare enjoyed by some other classic Air Max models, the Air Classic BW has been quietly making a comeback this year in both new and OG colorways. Last month we showed you a new version that used a black/white/red color scheme and now we have a look at a similar version that swaps out the white for grey to sport a slightly darker look. The shoe features a predominantly Black synthetic upper with sections of ballistic mesh and a reflective 3M strip running through the design. Additional Grey and Sport Red accents are scattered throughout, creating some bold contrast against the dark base. This Air Classic BW is available now as a JDsports exclusive, so if you’re feeling these, be aware that that’s the only place you’ll find them. In the meantime, you can check out some more images after the jump.
