Nike can be counted on just about every new season to bring us a nice variety of classic Air Max and Nike running models in fresh new colorways. This peek at the fall ’09 lineup is proof that there will be plenty to get excited about in the near future. The upcoming collection features two new colorways of the Air Max 1, one in solid navy and the other spices up the Air Max 1 Safari 87 design with a red mudguard.
There will also be a new Black/Turquoise/White Air Max 90, two new Air Pegasus models and two Air Structure Triax colorways, including one in a striking Black/Persian Violet. Updating some classic designs, the Air Max 1 x Air Trainer 1 model and both a solid red and Hufquake Air Max 90 Current Huarache will join in the fun as well. Look for the whole batch to hit stores this fall and be sure to check out the whole collection after the jump. Via Sneakers.Fr.

While the Air Jordan Fusion (AJF) line has divided the sneakerhead community, most agree that the ‘Wings’ logo-emblazoned strap on the original Js are welcome. The Air Jordan 1 High Strap appears above in a patriotic mix of navy blue, re dand white. The navy upper and white Swooshes are both canvas, with the Swooshes’ frayed edges adding depth. Red on the laces, strap-stripe and the ‘Wings’ logo that’s revealed by removing the strap completes the All-American look. Celebrate your freedom and cop a pair of these today from Vault.

To help introduce their new Zeitfrei cycling shoe, adidas has enlisted the help of two well-respected names in the realm of fashion and footwear. Online fashion/culture site Hypebeast and Berlin sneaker retailer Solebox have both teamed up with adidas to create their own colorway of the shoe. Hypebeast’s Zeitfrei features a light grey suede upper with yellow accents, while the Solebox version sports a black suede upper with red highlights. Both pairs use a striped white midsole and include the collaborators’ logs on the tongue labels. The Zeitfrei model offers some nice technical features such as a perforated upper for ventilation purposes with a reflective underlay showing through. The vulcanized midsole is built for stability and comfort and the outsole features two different types of thread for maximum grip.
To coincide with the release of both shoes, bicycle manufacturer Bianchi created a one of a kind bike to match each shoe and plans to eventually auction them off for charity. The shoes, on the other hand, will be limited to only 50 retail pairs of each with each numbered using laser-etching. The Solebox edition will be available exclusively at their store beginning Saturday May 23rd and will come with an SKS Solebox Air Champ Pro Air Pump. The Hypebeast Zeitfrei drops a week later on May 29th through their online store and will be packaged with a cycling hat, Cordura messenger bag and a carry-all sling bag. Check out some detailed images and additional release info after the jump.

A few high schools across the country are lucky enough to have Nike sponsorships. They include the alma maters of prep-to-pro superstars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, but a few select others are blessed with these elite players’ signature gear. One such school is LA’s Fairfax HS, who have recently gotten their own player exclusive edition of the Nike Zoom LeBron VI. Like LeBron’s own Saint Vincent Saint Mary, these feature the school’s name on the heel tab to compliment the school’s red and yellow palette atop a white upper. LeBron himself wore a pair of these joints on February 2nd when his Cavaliers played the Lakers in Los Angeles. King James and Kobe both signed their shoes for inclusion in a special package from Upper Deck that has yet to surface, so your only chance at getting the only mostly white ZLVI might be to act fast and get over to eBay now.

His career might be up in the air as of this writing, but it appears that Reebok is going ahead with their newest Allen Iverson model. The Reebok Answer XIII appears above in a white red and grey colourway that would mesh well with Detroit’s uniforms, however unlikely it may be for Iverson to ever wear Pistons blue again. The key feature on these joints is the diagonally-vented white leather overlay that stretches from side panel to side panel around the heel, revealing a red underlay. There’s a band of grey leather tracing the Hexride-equipped misdole, while an ‘ai’ insignia on the tongue tag completes the signature look. Who knows what tomorrow brings for the formerly-cornrowed crossover king, but we’ll keep you posted. via Kenlu

The Garnett-less Boston Celtics may have fell just short of a second straight return to the Eastern Conference Finals, but sharp shooter Ray Allen has plenty to be happy about. For one, the Celtics won the NBA Championship last year and for another, Ray seems to constantly be receiving one sick Air Jordan PE after another and we all know that could lift anyone’s spirits. The latest Ray Allen PE to hit eBay is an Air Jordan XII from the 2003-2004 season that was originally created to fit the Seattle Sonics’ color scheme, but is just as fitting for a Boston Celtic. The shoe features a white leather upper with a green midsole and accents. The kicks also sport some personalized touches like an embroidered “RAY” and “34″ on the outer heel of the left and right shoe. These Air Jordan XII are super-rare but can be found on eBay right now in a size 14 if you’re willing to pay a premium price for them. Check out some more pics of the finer details after the jump.

The Gravis IV Skate collection continues to grow with their latest model, the Transit Hi. This midtop features a forefoot strap a la the Nike (Air) Trainer model, along with vents on the side panels and tongue. The standout design element is a pixelated diamond pattern on the heel and ankle collar. Each of these parts is replicated on three colourways: red/gold/white, black/white/red and white/black/blue (which eschews the diamond pattern). All of them are available now at Gravis Skateboarding retailers. via CtotheJL

A few days back, we gave you a look at the newest Nike 1World Air Force 1 model to hand over the reigns to a professional athlete. International soccer superstar, Rio Ferdinand, not only holds down the center back position for legendary football club, Manchester United, as well as for the English National Team, but now he has his own premium Air Force 1 shoe to add to his impressive resume. The shoe uses a super-clean white upper with a combination of smooth leather and alligator skin providing the shoe’s foundation. Minimal accents come by way of a University Blue tongue label and Metallic Gold on the Swoosh and Ferdinand’s number 5 logos on the heels.
Completing the white on white color scheme is a transparent white midsole and outsole that gives off a crisp milky look that allows the heel Air bubble unit to show through. A final personal touch is a quote by Rio Ferdinand printed on the insole that reads “IF… I got to play just 1 minute of professional football, I would die a happy man.” These dropped in very limited quantities last weekend, so for now, eBay is your best hope. Check out some more pics and the latest eBay listings after the jump. Via Freshness.

Supreme’s recent collaboration with punk rock legend, Malcolm McLaren, has not only produced a bunch of fresh Supreme gear, but there will also be a sneaker included in the collection. The seldom seen Vans V-79 has been chosen as the canvas for these three collaborators to bring to life. The v-79 is a very simple classic-looking design, but the shoe is given a bold look thanks to three bright colorways and some heavily decorated insole graphics and tongue labels. The V-79 will be available in bright pink, yellow and orange, all with black tongues and laces and white midsoles and toe caps. All three colorways will go on sale in-store and at the Supreme online shop beginning this Thursday, May 21st, and will then be hitting Japan on the 23rd.

Given the prevailing trend towards white sneakers for summer, now’s the perfect time to stand out in a pair of new black kicks. The Air Jordan True Flight appears above in a simple black construction with white accents. The double stitches really stand out in this palette, and it’s more evident than ever that this is more than just an Air Jordan VII clone. Throw in a few touches of metallic silver and these are ready to go. Cop em now on eBay. Via ivehademall
