It appears that Nike Basketball has some interesting tricks up their sleeves when it comes to their Spring 2010 basketball collection. We already gave you a look at the return of the Air Flightposite II, but that won’t be the only classic model returning with some new looks. Joining the Flightposite II’s will be the return of the Air Total Max Uptempo in two new colorways and the Air 3, (formerly the Air Garnett III) also in two crisp new versions. Two hybrid styles round out the lineup with the Air Hoop Structure in solid Black and White/Black/Purple and the Auto Flight High in a bold Red edition with Black and Yellow accents. Look for all these styles to begin hitting stores some time next year and be sure to check out some more images after the jump. Via NT.

Additional highlights are supplied by a Royal Blue tongue label and a Light Yellow lining and contrast stitching. Like the other new RT1 High colorway, these will be available at the end of June, but you can pre-order them now on eBay.

Last month, we showed you a preview of the Reebok Reverse Jam pack that was designed as part of a collaboration with Hawaiian sneaker kings, Kicks/HI. With their release coming this weekend, we know get a new look at the kicks and the matching t-shirts that will accompany them. The pack consists of two different Reebok Reverse Jams, one in a green “home” colorway and the other in a black “away” version. Both feature perforated suede uppers with white and orange accents and sport some additional personalized touches on the back of the heels. The kicks are set to release on June 13th at the Ward and Makaloa Kicks/HI locations as well as at their online store. A “Natives Are Restless” t-shirt will be available in three different colors and one will be included with each pair sold, and will also be sold separately. Additional pairs of the Kicks/HI Reverse Jam will also be sold at Kicks/HI Guam, as well as at Saint Alfred’s in Chicago. You can check out some more pics of the shoes and the t-shirts after the jump. Via Hypebeast.

Around this time last summer, the Alife Rivington Club teamed up with Asics to release two colorways of the Gel Lyte III and now the two forces have come back together to put a new spin on another classic Asics running model. After recent collaborations with Nike and Fila, A.R.C. will once again partner with Asics to put their unique touch on two new colorways of the Gel Lyte II. Both pairs look to be fairly conservative in their color schemes, using white/off-white uppers with some subtle splashes of color and of course, both featuring an A.R.C. tag on the heel to denote the partnership. Look for both pairs to drop some time this summer and we’ll be sure to keep you posted on specific release info. Until then, you can check out the second half of this sneak peek after the jump.

An often overlooked Nike basketball classic will be making its way back to us as part of the Spring 2010 lineup. The Flightposite II LE, originally released in 2000, will be returning as a Retro release to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The Flightposite II has long been admired for its futuristic look and construction, including the carbon fiber midfoot, zip-up shell and, of course, Nike’s Posite materials. Much to the delight of many sneakerheads, the shoe will be back in two colorways next year. One version will be a Black on Black style, while the other gets a little flashier, combining Black with Metallic Zinc for a a very slick-looking model. You can expect both pairs to be hitting shelves early in 2010 and you know we’ll keep you posted with all the latest news until then. Via NT.

The Nike Air Classic BW has seen a number of new and OG colorways released lately and now the latest version of the beloved running shoe adds a familiar Nike touch for a little extra flavor boost. The color scheme is fairly simple with a solid Black leather/mesh upper with a White Swoosh and lining and a Metallic Silver midsole and laces, but it’s the tongue that really draws the attention. Like some other Air Max models that have recently borrowed the classic Nike pattern, this Air Classic BW uses a Safari print tongue to give them some extra personality. Look for these to hit Nike Sportswear retailers later this month but you can pre-order a pair now on eBay.

While the Nike Hyperdunk remains one of the top performing on-court kicks and the Hypermax its counterpart for larger players, the later model might turn out to be better remembered for its special colourways.  All of these have been stripped of their lightweight Flywire side panels in favour of more traditional fabrics.  The pair above and another just like it, except in red, both feature suede overlays and what appears to be canvas on the side panels.  You’ll see the red joints after the jump, along with the Tennis Ball and McFly editions, both of which have satiny side panels.  While the hint from HK Kicks is that these are releasing today, we’ve not heard a solid word on a stateside release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

We first started showing you previews of the Nike Air Hoop Structure LE all the way back in January and now they are finally about to drop in the first set of colorways. The shoe that transforms the Nike Air Structure Triax 91 into a stylish basketball shoe got a very warm reception when they were first previewed and this traditional-looking model should make for a nice kickoff for the Air Hoop Structure. This colorway features a White leather upper with a healthy dose of Navy on the underlay and midsole as well as on the tongue and lining. Additional accents come by way of some minimal red highlights on the tongue and heel branding. This Air Hoop Structure is available for pre-order now on eBay and is expected to ship as early as the end of June.

The Nike RT1 High had a very nice buzz going for it when it released this spring and now a second round of colors has begun to emerge. The first go -around of the RT1 kept it pretty simple, but the new batch adds a little more flavor to the mix. This version sports a Black nubuck upper with a Dark Grey perforated toe box and additional Azure perforated patent sections on the upper and the tongue. A White Swoosh, midsole and laces round out the color scheme, giving these kicks a very slick look. These are expected to drop late June 2009 but you can pre-order a pair now on ebay.

Supra has had good success with the new TK Society model, and the Skytop II is apparently right around the corner, but they haven’t forgotten about their other key designs.  The Supra Suprano Hi will return for Fall 2009 in no fewer than three new colourways.  The one you see above hearkens back to the classic Air Jordan VIII ‘Aqua’ colourway.  There’s another pair in a very Knick-like palette, plus one in grey and seafoam green.  As with all of Supra’s ‘Fall 2009′ releases, they’ll probably drop very soon, so check your local Supra retailer today.
