Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER has their own line of lowtops and is well known for their fragment design collabos on the Nike Match Classic. Here’s another lowtop collabo that brings in a third party. The UNDERCOVER x BAPE lowtop pictured above is exclusive to London’s NOWHERE store, as indicated on the Jack Purcell-like toe cutaway. The green camoflauge upper looks great with white contrast stitching and a white sole. These should be available at NOWHERE very soon. via HB

They’re set to drop in a sick Cobra Commander-inspired edition, probably sometime before the August 7th theater release of G.I. Joe, but the Nike Alpholution’s first run is out now. An updated take on the classic Nike Air ’Alpha’ Force 1, these joints are available in three colourways that carefully toe the line between outright retro and modern classic. There’s one each in red/black/white, royal blue/white and black/white/teal. Each features ‘FRESH’ on the tongue, with ‘RE’ in a different colour, presumably marking Nike’s new ‘REFRESH’ campaign. Cop any or all of these right now from FinishLine.

The Air Jordan 1 seems to have made a come back in a big way whether fans like it or not with a number of releases over the past number of months and upcoming months as well. One new model we have not seen a preview until today is the above all black Air Jordan 1 in a number of materials including ballistic nylon, smooth leather, flux snake skin and flux ostrich. Little is known of this model but seems to be an early July release but RMK Store already have them pre-order.

There was a ton of hype behind the Toro Bravo/Raging Bull DMP Package released last month and now these are the last Air Jordan V (5) retros we expect for a while. This pair, dubbed ‘Dark Army’ for its use of the reddish-brown hue on the tongue and lining, sports a white patent leather upper with Dark Army stitching. It rides a black midsole that has an Oreo sharkstooth, plus translucent yellow outsole segments that reveal the same pattern present on the lining. You can grab these today from eBay.

Nike will release four new Air Max styles exclusively at JD Sports in the UK in August including a new Air Max 90, Air Max Light, Air Max ST, and Air Max 95. The Air Max 90 comes in a smooth colorway that has some similarities to “Pigeon” colorways we’ve seen from Nike and Staple. The Air Max Light comes to us in a Shadow Grey, White, Hot Red, and Blue colorway that uses nubuck and mesh on the sneaker. The Air Max ST comes in a more subtle and classic colorway of White, Grey, and Black. And last but not least the Air Max 95 comes in a triple Black colorway that features a graphic print on the shoe’s upper along with hints of Red. Look for all four of these to be released exclusively at JD Sports in August.

The Agenda tradeshow next month will feature Supra’s official unveiling of their latest Skytop model, but it looks like you won’t have to wait. Pictured above (and after the jump) is a sample of the Supra Skytop II. This one is in bright red leather with a white midsole. It has the same Air Jordan VI-like tongue that you can vaguely make out of the Supra-issued teaser pic, plus a series of horizontal stitches and piping on the underlay. Take a look at these and let us know if you think Supra should change ‘em before they drop or if you like the design just as it is. via SupraTalk

All of Skate Mental’s riders rock Nike SB kicks, and we already knew that they collaborated with the Swoosh’s skate division on one SB Dunk High for later this year. It looks like that pair will have a running (skating?) mate. The Nike SB Dunk High pictured above on the left is the latest from Todd Bratrud who designed a pair of self-titled SB Dunk Highs last year, as well as 2006′s epic ‘Send Helps’.
These are dubbed ‘Brainwreck’, and feature a red, grey and white construction with a few extras. Given that he named last year’s joints the ‘Mr. Todd Bratruds’, it’s no surprise to see ‘Bratrud’ embroidered on the heel, but the standout feature has to be the insole. These feature a human brain that hopped a curb and crashed into a lightpost. Rather than any smoke or fire, the brain is cleverly emitting a question mark. These should be ready for the Holiday 2009 season, so check back with us for more info. via N-SB.org

Back in 2007, Nike created a Transformers edition of the Air Trainer III to coincide with the release of the first live-action movie, and while the shoe was relatively well-received, this sample version would have made them so much more legit. To the casual glance, this look-see sample is not all that different from the version that was released, but a closer look reveals one glaring difference. Apparently, when the shoe was originally designed, it featured a large Autobots logo on the tongue of the right shoe. Due to legal matters, Nike was forced to remove the logo before the shoe was released, but now this sample has surfaced to show us all what we missed out on. The good news is that if you are a size 9 and you’re ready to drop some dough on them, this sample pair is available now on eBay. If you’re into the Transformers and/or the Air Trainer III, you can check out some more images of this extremely rare sample version after the jump. Photos via Mental Therapy.
