New shipments of summer Nike kicks are hitting retailers as we speak, and it looks like there’s a lot to be excited about. We’ve already shown you some previews of most of these models, but now they are finally beginning to find their way onto the shelves of shops like Standard. Here is a look at some of the new kicks that are popping up in stores as we speak. Various members of the Air Max family are represented with new and OG colorways of the Air Max 1, Air 180, Air Structure Triax ’91 and Air Max 90 Current Huarache. Joining the Air Max models will be two splatter editions of the Dunk High, as well as a new Blazer High and a Court Force High. Rounding out the list of new releases is a new black on black edition of the Zoom Talache Low. If one or more of these styles is calling your name, you might want to get over to Standard before they’re all gone.

You may remember seeing our previews of the Nike Premium Selvage Denim Pack all the way back in January, and now they’re finally beginning to arrive in stores. The pack consists of Premium editions of the Terminator High and Blazer High, both using a combination of blue selvage denim and black leather for the uppers. Both models are also laced with some super-legit blue jean touches like copper rivets, gold contrast stitching and Levi’s-inspired logo tabs, as well as brown leather tongue labels that are similar to the ones found on the back of a pair of jeans. If you’ve been waiting for these to drop since our first preview, they are finally making their way onto the shelves at select Nike retailers like 24kts.

Not too long ago, we gave you a look at a new Air Force 1 Low model that throws in some inspiration from the classic Air Tech Challenge II. Like the white/black/hot red version we already showed you, this simple Air Force 1 Low also throws in the “Lava” pattern on the upper heel panel. This time, however, it uses a color scheme similar to the Tart and Clay Blue colorway from last year’s Rebel Pack. Other than the heel and tongue label, the shoe sports a simple white on white color scheme on the rest of the upper with additional accents coming by way of a Team Orange outsole and a Black lining. As a result, these kicks flaunt a simple, classic look, with the subtle Lava touch on the heel providing a nice dose of retro flavor. If you are feeling this sneaker, you can pick up a pair for yourself now at JDsports.

Yesterday, we caused a serious stir with our preview pics of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, and now more photos of the shoe are beginning to emerge. This latest look at the eagerly anticipated shoe seems to do the design more justice than previous images. The Zoom LeBron VI was arguably King James’ most popular shoe yet, so the Nike design team had a daunting task in front of them to try to top it. The jury is still out on most people’s reaction, but so far, the response has been fairly mixed. These new images should help those on the fence to get a better appreciation of the shoe from multiple angles.

This colorway looks to be similar to the white/red model we showed you yesterday, but the woven leather has been replaced with Flywire like the other samples that we’ve seen. This version also uses less red, taking a more minimalist approach to the accents, and thus, letting the lines of the design take center stage. Also of note, since this is the first we are seeing of some new angles of the shoe, you can see the inclusion of the large L23 LeBron logo on the Flywire section of the heel, as well as the full length Air Max sole unit. It is still too early to confirm if this will be the final version, but it’s definitely looking that way. You can see a bunch more great shots of the shoe after the jump and we’ll be sure to keep you posted on the latest Air Max LeBron VII news. Via FlightClub.Tistory.

A few days ago, we gave you a look at a new Nike Hyperdunk model that obviously borrowed its color scheme from the revered Eggplant Air Foamposite, and now another member of the “Posite” family is being repped by the Hyperdunk. Last summer, Nike re-released a Retro version of the stunning Metallic Gold Air Flightposite, one of the boldest looking Nike basketball models of all time. Now the Metallic Gold is making its way onto the Hyperdunk. The upper and midsole feature a healthy dose of Gold right down to the Flywire. Additional sections of the upper are Black with a Silver midsole section adding a nice bit of contrast. There is no word yet on when these will be hitting retailers in the U.S., but MarqueeSole is ahead of the game and already has some in stock.

We saw an Air Jordan Force IV (AJF 4) GS earlier today that was slightly different than the adult version, but this pair is just *different*.  The AJF4 appears above in a speckled mix of the primary pigment colours.  A white upper and midsole finds contrasts in bright red (vivid pink, to be exact), yellow and blue.  All three colours come together atop the white midsole in the form of tiny splashes that tie the look together.  These are set to drop on July 4 and you can grab them today from ExtraButter as well as ebay.

Earlier today, we gave you a detailed look at the Red Plum installment of the Nike women’s Air Max 1 Safari pack and now you can get an up close view of another shoe from the collection. This version sports a White leather/mesh base and midsole with a healthy dose of Safari print covering various sections of the upper. Other than the black Safari dots, the only additional accent colors are found on the Glass Blue lining and eyelet holes. While this is definitely one of the more conservative shoes in the pack, they still have plenty of flavor to them. Ladies in search of a subtle, but stylish summer sneaker can find these now on eBay.  Photos: ABC Kicks

With all of the hype surrounding the new Air Trainer 1 from Nike, this Air Trainer SC in it’s original colorway that is getting ready to be released may have fallen under the radar. A number of sneakerheads will remember these Trainer SC’s from when Bo Jackson wore them in the infamous “Bo Knows” Nike commercials in the 1990′s. This was one of the first shoes that revolutionized the idea of cross training in sports. Look for this colorway to hit select retailers in the upcoming weeks. via Footlocker Unlocked

In a sad note for the night, the King of Pop has passed away after being rushed to UCLA Medical Center on Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles. Beside having the best selling record of all time, in our world, most will remember Michael Jackson teaching Michael Jordan how to dance in the 1992 video for Jam (see below). A sad note for those who grew up listening to MJ and watching the other MJ ball. RIP MJ. (Thanks NK for the reminder)
