They’re not being very forthcoming as of yet, but Berlin’s Overkill is certainly having fun teasing us.  They’ve posted one photo each of the last five days, each detailing a different new colourway of the Nike Air Max 1.  With titles like “Something very special is about to come…” and “Expect some One Time Onlys”, left hanging and wanting more info.  It’s already shaping up to be a huge summer for the Air Max 1, with key releases including the OG Quickstrikes, Safari Pack and the introduction of the Air Maxim 1.  Then again, you can’t go wrong with more editions of this iconic runner, so check back with Sneaker News for updates.

Back in April, we gave you a sneak peek at the Quai 54-inspired Jordan Element from the Ruff N Tuff collection and with the tournament approaching, these kicks are about to hit stores. The Quai 54 basketball tournament is held in Paris every summer, pitting some of the world’s best streetball squads against each other for the glory of international bragging rights. In recognition of the event, Jordan Brand will be releasing limited edition Quai 54 versions of the Jordan Element and the Air Jordan 1.

The Element features a combination of materials on the upper, using sections of Black patent leather, Elephant print nubuck and durable mesh. The kicks also sport White contrast stitching, Laser Blue accents and a speckled midsole stripe as well as a translucent herringbone outsole and a special Quai 54 tongue label. Originally believed to be a European exclusive, the Jordan Element will be hitting House of Hoops on Saturday, June 20th. For now, you can check out some nice detailed images after the jump.

By now, you’ve probably already seen numerous colorways of the eagerly anticipated Jordan Flight 45, and now another version has surfaced with a familiar color scheme. We already showed you the Black Air Jordan III-inspired Flight 45, and since it’s hard to go wrong with the classic inspiration, Jordan Brand has whipped up a white version as well. These kicks sport a crisp White upper with a speckled Cement Grey strap and a strip of Elephant print wrapping the heel. Some Black and Varsity Red accents finish off the design, giving the shoe a very classic Jordan look that will surely be embraced.

Yesterday, we gave you a sneak peek at some upcoming Nike Hyperize colorways that are on their way this fall. Most of them featured pretty simple and straightforward designs and color blocking, but this latest version gets a little more involved. These kicks sport a White upper with Metallic Silver accents, but the most noteworthy aspect has to be the Silver crossing line graphics that cover the entire White section of the shoe. Not a whole lot is known about this version of the Hyperize, but after a look at this sample, these seem to be begging for a release. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll keep you updated on the status of this fresh edition of the Nike Hyperize as soon as more details emerge. Via Kenlu.

There are plenty of shoes that feature carbon fibre for arch support, and even a few that have accents made of the lightweight weave.  The new kicks pictured above celebrate a newly crowned champion by applying the performance material to the entire upper.  The Nike Dream Season looks to be secondary sneaker for NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, and this is a design befitting his legend.  The all black upper features a leather toe, but the side panels are all carbon fibre.  They feature purple and white accents, making them a nice match for the LA Lakers’ alternate black jerseys.  These are set for a late 2009 release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via Flightclub.tistory.com

Nike’s act of attaching a Blazer-like vulcanized rubber sole to a couple of its early ’90s classics has grabbed alot of attention of late.  Here, the Nike Auto Flight High appears in its ‘Football Club’ Pack edition.  You might remember this colourway from a pair of Air Max Triax 94s we showed you last week.  Both feature red uppers with red and yellow accents.  The Auto Flight has a rich suede design and perforated side panels for a nice contrast.  As with the Triax 94s, these have a soccer-like shield emblem on the tongue.  MentalKicks had a couple sample pairs but they already sold out, so look for these in Spring 2010.  via euKicks

The Nike Dunk High gets its fair share of creative looks and here is the latest. This Dunk High Premium appears to follow the lead of the Air Force 1 that we showed you earlier today, using the splattered Air Tech Challenge-esque “lava” print on the heel section. In addition to the splatter design on the black heel panel, these kicks also feature a dark pink and light grey upper with a bright pink Swoosh and tongue and a red outsole and laces. The interesting combination of colors combined with the lava design on the back makes this one of the most intriguing Dunks seen in a while and being that it’s a Premium release, you know that the materials will be of the highest quality. Maybe those Union Dunks laid the groundwork for this concept, but the shoe definitely has some personality of its own. Look for these at Nike retailers in the next few weeks, stay tuned to Sneaker News additional release info.

The Nike Court Force has seen some fresh Retro release over the years, but in comparison to some other classic Nike models, it still remains pretty underappreciated. Hopefully this Court Force Basic pack can help make more of a lasting impression on those who have slept on the style for all this time. This pack features both a high and low model, both with a grid pattern used on the uppers. The Court Force Low features a red and black upper with a white midsole and highlights, while the Court Force High model sports a slick royal blue and black combo, also with a white midsole. Both are expected to hit select Nike retailers this fall, but you can already pre-order a pair now from Atmos.
