Nike Air Penny II Retro   White   Atlantic Blue

Nike’s Air Penny line has made a huge comeback over the last few months with numerous Retro drops and the introduction of the 1/2 Cent hybrid model. As much as folks were happy to see all these kicks return to stores, there was still something missing for some, but that will soon be taken care of. After releasing several Air Penny II colorways already, Nike will finally be re-releasing the beloved White/Atlantic Blue colorway that originally debuted in 1996. There is no word yet on when these will hit stores, but rest easy knowing that they’re on the horizon. Stay tuned for more info on the Air Penny II and you can take a look at a number of detailed images after the jump. Via SoleCollector.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High   Quai 54   Ruff N Tuff Collection

We just showed the Quai 54 edition of the Jordan Element and we also have some great new pics of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High model. Also from the Ruff N Tuff collection, the Air Jordan 1 was selected to help the Element in celebrating the Quai 54 streetball tournament. The shoe sports a Laser Blue crackled full-grain leather upper with Black accents and a White tongue that flaunts a special Quai 54 tongue label. Some other nice touches include a White speckled “concrete” midsole and a wild pattern on the lining that is also found inside the transparent outsole.

Like the Element, these kicks were originally rumored to not be released in the U.S., but word has just come down that they will also be available as a limited edition release at House of Hoops on Saturday, June 20th. If you need help making up your mind, you can view some nice detailed shots after the jump. Via Freshness.

Jordan Element   Quai 54   Ruff N Tuff Collection

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.

Jordan Flight 45   White   Cement   Varsity Red

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. These kicks are slated for a September release, but you can already pick up a pair from MarqueeSole.

Nike Hyperize   White   Metallic Silver

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.

Nike Kobe Bryant Dream Season   Black Carbon Fiber   Fall/Winter 2009

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
