When the Nike Hyperdunk premiered last year, one of the primary means of promoting the high-tech new ballin’ kick was the release of the Marty McFly edition. Drawing on the Nike Mags that character wore in Back to the Future II, Nike released another 2015-inspired pair, this time in the form of a Zoom Tre A.D. Over the weekend, we found that this wasn’t the last pair in the McFly colourway, as a new edition of the Nike Hypermax is set to feature the legendary palette.
Seen first at a Sole Collector event and later posted by Ty from Chicago’s LDRS at NikeTalk, the McFly Hypermax features a metallic silver upper sans-Flywire. The midsole is speckled, save the Air bubble frame in teal, and this colour is duplicated on the removable ankle strap. We can also see a healthy dose of bright pink on the Air bubbles themselves along with the sockliner. In another interesting development from Ty, it appears that there’s another new pair on the way in bright yellow and white dubbed the ‘Tennis Balls’. Click the jump to see more photos and it’ll be obvious to you why that is. Via Niketalk / Sole Collector

More typically notable for publishing articles about collaborations like these, Hypebeast has jumped into the sneaker design teamwork game. Working with German retailer Solebox, they did up two clean pairs of the adidas Zeitfrei. Inspired by fixed gear cycling, the Zeitfrei comes in two pairs with grey suede uppers. One has yellow accents and the ‘hypebeast’ logo on their tongue, while the other opts for red and ‘solebox’, respectively. Both pairs feature reflective 3M underlay as well as a reflective stripe across the midsole for maximum visibility, plus a tongue pocket to allow for hidden laces. No word yet on their release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Most sneakerheads are probably familiar with Olle Hemmendorff’s rendition of the Nike Air Max 90 as a hamburger. Even if you didn’t know the artist’s name, it’s an image that’s likely to stick with you. This collaborative effort between Japanese retailer GETTRY and Chinese powerhouse Asics takes the idea to a new level. The GETTRY x Asics Procourt AR ‘Hamburger’ edition stands out as one of the more outrageous sneaker designs in recent memory. They feature a tonal brown base to symbolize the bun and french fries, while colourful strips evoke various condiments. Inside you’ll find a photo-realistic french fry insole, while Timberland-like corded laces tie the whole thing together. Hungry? Why wait — cop these now from GETTRY.

Even though they’re neatly numbered, New Balance’s running releases seem almost infinitely varied while remaining pretty similar. In this limited edition run of New Balance CM670Ns, the no-endorsements company stuck to the basics and managed something special. Both pairs feature a simple mix of suede and mesh, but it’s the subtle colouring that makes these winners. Laid atop off-white mesh and a white midsole are one pair each in faded turquoise or deep purple. These are set for a May 23rd release and you can pre-order them today from mita sneakers.

Warm weather calls for white sneakers. We already saw two pairs of these with different coloured contrasts plus another with touches of mesh, and now it’s time for another edition. The Nike Tennis Classic VNTG appears here with green accents. Aside from the heel tab, everything else here is the same as the earlier editions. You get white leather atop a white midsole that is slightly yellowed, plus a tongue tag with Nike’s signature vintage orange. If you’re feelin’ this pair’s understated style, cop them now from atmos.

For a race that started off as a plot device in Burt Reynolds’ The Cannonball Run, the Gumball Rally has done pretty well for itself. Perhaps singlehandedly reviving public interest in point-to-point racing, the Gumball has evolved to the point that major celebrities risk life and limb in the race-and-party specticle. This year, Puma released a special edition hightop Speed Cat and outfitted several of their Puma Motorsports cars with the German brand’s signature stripe for their 3000 mile trek. It’s certainly one of the more unique cross-promotions, and judging by the pics you’ll see after the jump, quite a bit of fun as well.

Vans footwear has crossed the line from skate/surf wear into the pantheon of All-American staples. In this latest pack, they’re also coopting the stylings of a legendary American artist. Late California dreamer Rick Griffin was probably most famous for his work designing trippy album covers for The Grateful Dead. Vans Vault added his skull-and-roses sensibility to a whole slew of silhouettes, including the Sk8-Hi LX, Mid Skool ’77, Old Skool ’77 and Slip-On. All of these are set to drop June 1st, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via HS

Since they can’t rely on the hype of an ultra-limited release, Supra is looking to best the Nike Air Yeezy with its new TK Society Pro Model in other ways. Terry Kennedy’s signature shoe is already tops when it comes to sheer height, and their pre-release sale tour has people excited to get theirs before the May 17th official release date. First up was TK’s hometown of Long Beach, where District 8 held a party in honour of the strappy sneakers. The black/red and purple suede pairs were both available and we have a shot of what looks to be the dopest pair yet in silver patent leather after the jump. Stick with Sneaker News for the latest info on future TK releases and all the rest from Supra.

Nike SB recently resurrected the Zoom FC, so we’re not shocked to see another variation on their catalog. Until now just a lowtop, the Nike SB Zoom Classic High takes the design up a few eyelets. This pair offers a simple black and white colourway with just a little bit of red. We can see that the hightop version of the Zoom Classic features a bit of piping around the middle ankle/heel area, similar to the Sky Force. Sure to be the first of many releases, this colourway is set for a Holiday 2009 release. via N-SB.org

It goes without saying that there was more than one pair of dope Nike Air Force 1s at Swiss sneaker event Sneakerness today. Here’s a little visual proof. In collaboration with Double Goose, French sneaker customizer Art Force One created this dope wooden-boxed collection. It includes a brown leather bubble down vest and some dope AF1s in black and white with gold and yellow accents. Metallic touches include the lower eyelets and lacelock, along with some splatter-like implants on the side panels. They’re tied together, quite literally with leather laces. These will probably be left as a 1 of 1 special edition, but we’ll update you if they ever roll out to retailers. Click the jump below for more pics. via HS
