The NFW (No Flywire) editions of the Nike Hypermax have been creating quite a stir lately and now the shoe that preceded it will receive similar treatment. The Nike Hyperdunk NFW has also been stripped of its Flywire, using a fabric upper rather than the synthetic materials used on the original to give the shoe more of a casual street look. The new style will be available in four colorways, with two dropping this Saturday and another two coming next Friday. Saturday’s releases will include the Neptune Blue and Comet Red versions. Both sport solid fabric uppers with white midsoles and accents. Next week will see the release of the Grey and Yellow colorways and House of Hoops will be the only place to get all four. Until then, you can get a nice look at a bunch more images of the Comet Red and Neptune Blue colorways after the jump. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Though it looks somewhat similar to the Quai 54 edition, this new pair of Jordan Elements has its own flavor.  This pair features a tonal black upper.  There’s a swooping patent leather strip around the bottom that resembles the Air Jordan XXI, plus mesh that sits atop a strip of suede.  The midsole is blue and an icey translucent shade, a combination that extends to the sole that reminds us of the AJXX2.  No word yet on a release date, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via Flightclub.tistory.com

The Nike Air Trainer 1 is one of the most beloved classics in the entire Nike arsenal, so when Nike updated the original design for the new Trainer 1 model, they had a lot to live up to. By now, you have probably already seen our coverage on the new Trainer 1 and all of its up-to-date modifications, but what you might not have known is that Nike will be releasing a 2 shoe package consisting of the OG colorway of the Air Trainer 1 as well as the updated Trainer 1 in the same color scheme. For fans of the Nike Trainer series, this is like the best of both worlds. You get an iconic piece of the past and a look at the future all in one cool double “Trainer Knows” box. The pack will be hitting NikeStore tonight in limited quantities, so if these kicks are calling your name, you might want to keep your finger ready on that refresh button.

Last week, we gave you a nice look at this eagerly anticipated Air Total Max Uptempo Retro model, and now with the release approaching, they are beginning to hit eBay. The popular basketball sneaker sports a combination of full-grain Black leather and Black nubuck on the upper, but the bold accents are what really make these kicks stand out. The touches of Volt that appear on the Swoosh, Air bubble and outsole really stand out against the black base, giving the shoe an eye-catching look that still manages to keep it pretty simple. If you’ve been anxiously waiting for these, you can scoop up a pair early on eBay. Photos: liljase2ooo. Also available at Nikestore.com.

In June of 1996, the Charlotte Hornets drafted a young Kobe Bryant straight out of high school with the 13th pick in that year’s NBA Draft. He was then promptly shipped off to Los Angeles for Vlade Divac in what can now be viewed as one of the worst trades in NBA history. To either commemorate the moment in Kobe’s career, or to rub some more salt in the wounds of Hornets fans, Nike will be releasing a Charlotte Hornets-inspired Draft Day edition of the Zoom Kobe IV. The kicks feature a white upper with purple and teal highlights and the date “6-11-96″ printed on the ankle section of the heel. The Draft Day Zoom Kobe IV is expected to hit select retailers in July, but it seems that some stores have them in stock already, so you might want to start hunting. Via NT.

The Air Jordan 1 Do the Right Thing pack has generated a lot of interest since images first started floating around back in February. Since then, it appears that there have been some changes to the design, but the overall look still remains true to the original colorway. It still features a white leather upper with metallic green accents, but the colorful lining pattern that was found on early sample images has been replaced with solid colors. These pics are of the sample, but the retail version is now available for pre-order from Osneaker even though they are not due to drop until July 4th. Reserve yours now and we’ll let you know if any of the sample versions with the crazy lining hit eBay, because it looks like that’s the only place you’re going to find them. Also available on NikeStore.

Chien-Ming Wang’s wife gave birght to their first child yesterday, and here’s something for young Justin to grow into.  The Nike Dunk Low GS appears above in a design that pretty acccurately mimics a baseball.  The white leather and red stitching are just the right colours, while touches of university blue remind us that baseball is America’s passtime.  We don’t know if these feature 216 stitches, or 88 inches of red thread, but it wouldn’t surprise us.  Cop a pair of these today from Dunk.com.cn to find out for yourself.

Nike SB has been under some scrutiny lately for not coming strong enough with recent releases, but lately we’ve seen some new models that are definitely a step back in the right direction. With all the recent buzz around the Blue Lobster Dunks, pictures have just surfaced of another upcoming blue Dunk Low that should be a little easier to get your hands on. These kicks feature a solid Varsity Blue upper with additional Blue on the midsole, laces and lining. Joining the Blue are some Pink and Ice accents, as well as a perforated side panel and toe box, similar to the White/Gum Dunk Low SB that recently hit stores. Specific release info for these is still not known, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted. Via Warped.

The Nike Hyperdunk will be back with a new look next spring. The formerly high cut shoe has been reworked to create a low top version of the popular style. Other than the obvious lower cut, the design of the shoe stays pretty true to the original and to keep that continuity flowing, Nike has even revisited one of the shoe’s most beloved colorways. The highly coveted McFly Hyperdunk set the sneaker game on fire when they dropped and now the colorway will also be applied to the Hyperdunk Low model. Joining the McFly version will also be two other colorways of the low model. One sports a white base with black and royal accents and the other uses a black foundation with touches of red and white. All three are expected to arrive for spring 2010, so you know we’ll keep you up on the latest until then. Via NT.

Thanks in part to a great design and the Bo Jackson stamp of approval, the Air Trainer SC has been a favorite for a lot of sneakerheads for a long time now. Like they did with the recent Trainer 1 model, next year, Nike will be unveiling an updated version of the classic Air Trainer SC design. As you might expect, the Trainer SC 2010 will boast all types of new features, such as Flywire, a Free sole and a larger visible Air bubble in the heel. For starters, the shoe will be available in three colorways. The standout of the three has to be the white/orange/grey model because of its obvious similarities to the OG Air Trainer SC colorway, but there will also be white/royal and black/silver version as well. All three are slated for a March 2010 release, so we’ll keep you posted on further developments between now and then. Via NT.
