While designing the Hyperdunk shoe, Eric Avar took design inspiration from a Nike concept shoe created in the late 80’s for movie character Marty McFly [played by Michael J. Fox] in the film Back to the Future II. The shoes were created through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group. To help introduce the Hyperdunk to the general public Nike designed a McFly Hyperdunk which released last July to much fanfare.
The Hypermax which is not the next version of the Hyperdunk but a similarly designed sneaker for the bigger men in basketball. Nike has decided to design a McFly Hypermax as well which we saw a short while back. The McFly Hyperdunk was designed with all the technology in place, the McFly Hypermax has been designed with a satin upper in place of the Flywire upper. No word on a release date just yet but we would assume this could be another Summer release. Via Sole Collector

You can never have too many white sneakers come summertime and the same can be true of Air Force 1s. The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Low appears above in a simple mix of white and team red. The official color says there’s also some black on this pair, but we don’t see it. Let us know if you find the black, especially since we hooked you up by letting you know that you can cop these a whole week early from Vault.
Style: 315122-165
Color: White/Team Red-Black

The best thing about having an all time classic silhouette is that you can apply all kinds of colour combinations to it and occasionally add something new like a deluxe fabric or interesing pattern to add a whole new level of possibilities. The Nike Dunk High appears above in a clean mix of white and yellow suede. The black midsole adds something of a Pittsburg Steelers feel. While the colours and fabrics are certainly nice, the key feature is a tonal polka dotted toebox, achieved by brushing the dots to make them nappier than the ‘base’ of smoother suede. If you need a white sneaker for summer with a little something extra, cop these now from Standard.

Hit by complete surprise is the next Nike 1World collaboration, this time with a UK personality, Manchester United center back Rio Ferdinand. While simple in appearance, this Air Force 1 low is on the lux side with an all white premium leather upper offset with a gold swoosh. Keeping to the white upper is a milky translucent white sole which we believe is the first time its been used on an Air Force 1 Sole. This Rio Ferdinand x Nike 1World Air Force 1 Low is now available Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer Store in New York but should be pretty hard to get outside of the UK.

The Nike Hyperize has yet to officially release, but the Hyperdunk part deux is marching forward with quite a few new colourways. The pair pictured above features a mostly black construction with red and blue accents. The criss-crossing blue and red flywire threads take this design to a new level and suggest plenty of new options for future models. These are set to drop at Nike Basketball retailers including Foot Locker this December.

With summer right around the corner, it’s only natural to see a bunch of new releases from Vans Vault. This preview contains three unique packs, each with its own signature look. There’s a set of turquoise lowtops, including the Slip-On Authentics and a cap-toed velcro lowtop whose name we don’t yet know. The other two packs include both of the first two pairs but not the strappy joints. There’s one with a geometric pattern that slightly resembles the back of playing cards. The pattern is replicated in either green or red, both atop white bases and these appear to be Eco releases, judging by the insole logos. The remaining pack is a white on black edition of their Uniphant pattern. All of these will release between now and the end of next month, so check back with Sneaker News for updates. via HS

Clarks’ 50th anniversary celebration isn’t the only reason the desert boot is receiving some well-deserved attention this year. The Aaron Rose x DC Artist Project is the second in what is becoming an annual collaboration between the Beautiful Losers creator and an increasingly collabo-happy skate company. The pack contains a green midtop witha red stitch around the ankle collar area plus a tan lowtop. Both feature plaid linings and a teardrop-patterned outsole. The inspiration is said to be 1950′s British ‘Mod’ culture, but the boxes are styled similarly to last year’s. Either way, you can cop them today from select DC retailers, including Foosh, who have the midtops in stock. via FRESHNESS

We’ve seen the use of electricity or at least the use of blinking lights several years black with the LA Gear sneakers, more recently, a collaboration from Solebox and other customizers looking for the next interesting mod to sneakers. This recent custom continues this trend with a Dunk High custom featuring battery operated Strobe or Constant light functions. Yet that is still not the most notable part of this sneaker, the customizer was asking for cool $2500 for this unique pair. Perhaps an interesting way to gather attention but unfortunately the auction ended with out a buyer.

It feel like we’ve been seeing this pair forever, but with a look as warm as the summer sun, its release is appropriately timed. The Nike Dunk High Supreme appears above in a heavy duty electrolime nylon construction. The nylon upper is woven in such a way that they appear studded or perhaps perforated, but it’s clear that this is yellow upper is anything but cautious. It’s joined to the white midsole with the ‘Vandalized’ Dunks’ signature nylon strip above the foxing, while a leather Swoosh completes the tonal look. The whole deal rides a gum sole and is available in limited quantities at select Nike Sportswear retailers including Grip.
Style: 324759-331
Color: Electrolime/Ozone-Neutral Grey/White

On January 16th, 1993, Michael Jordan threw down 64 points on 26 of 47 shooting against Shaq and his Orlando Magic, this being the third time he would score 60+ points. But the World Champs still fell to the Magic 128-124 in overtime, during that game Michael Jordan wore his seventh signature the Air Jordan VII. This year, Jordan Brand will celebrate this scoring achievement along with MJ’s other 60 plus point games with packs of sneakers including the Air Jordan 1 Celtics vs Bulls 60+Pack and the above Air Jordan VII from the Bulls vs Magic 60+ Pack. Based on the colors, the above seem to be a retro of the original 1992 Air Jordan VII “Raptor” Black/True Red colorway. This new colorway is officially Black/Dark Charcoal-Team Red and will be released along with a White/Varsity Royal Air Jordan VII on August 22nd, 2009. Thanks to 52xie
01/16/93 – 64 points – Chicago vs. Orlando – Air Jordan VII
