We’ve been keeping you in the loop on Nike’s White Men Can’t Jump Hyperize pack for a while, and now they will finally be hitting stores. The Billy Hoyle and Sidney Deane colorways will be available for purchase beginning tomorrow, July 18th. Both pairs capture the look and feel of the classic movie with the color schemes and clever touches like the “I’M IN THE F*#@!NG ZONE” tongue label on the Billy Hoyle and the flip-up tongue brim on the Sidney Deane. If you’ve been waiting on the edge of your seats for these, they’ll be hitting House of Hoops and other select Nike retailers tomorrow. Also available at Nikestore.com.

Nike’s ACG resurrection has brought us both the classics we loved from the early and mid ’90s and some excellent new models like this one that manage to balance that classic aesthetic with modern styling and technology. The Nike ACG Air Max Abasi is a rugged boot that incorporates an Air Structure Triax 91-like Air bubble into a midsole that uses carbon fibre on the forefoot. The upper is a mix of black suede and leather (leather might be 3M reflective) laid atop a ripstop nylon. All of this looks excellent when accented by purple stitching and teal on the Swoosh. They’ll be available within the next few weeks, but you can already place a pre-order on eBay.

We already gave you a look at this Air Jordan 1 High Strap as part of our Fall 2009 Air Jordan 1 preview, and now we get a detailed look at these kicks from multiple angles. The shoe sports a Grand Purple/White leather upper with Maize accents, including a fuzzy chenille Swoosh that looks like something you’d see on a varsity letterman’s jacket. As you’ll notice, this set of pics shows the shoe without the removable strap, and it also should be noted that the purple on the release version will not appear quite so dark. These won’t be dropping until September, but until then, you can see some more photos of this Air Jordan 1 High Strap after the jump. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

By now, you’ve probably already seen the Jordan Campus Chukka, one of Jordan Brand’s latest forays into the lifestyle sneaker game. There will be two new colorways of the Campus Chukka in the holiday ’09 collection, both providing some nice subtle looks with a touch of Jordan style. October will see the release of a Black on Black version that sticks to the theme even down to the vulcanized midsole. The other new Campus Chukka sports a luxurious Anthracite/Dark Grey color scheme with a stylish textured midsole and will be hitting stores in December. You can get a closer look at both upcoming colorways after the jump, and stay tuned for more photos.

Have you stepped into your Heyday yet? If not, well tomorrow marks your chance to do so in style and with extreme prejudice! Innovative watch brand Nooka collaborates with Heyday on a very limited Super Deb High sneaker. The shoe is limited to 20 pairs and comes in two color-ways: black (pictured above) & white. The shoe features a patent leather upper, with Nooka’s “String Theory” triangle pattern as seen. A very unique futuristic shoe to say the least. Clearly, straps and super-height are all the rage with cutting edge designers. Building off the hype of Air Yeezys, Supra TK’s, and numerous other altitude topping kicks, these should bode well with sneakerheads. The black pair is set to release tomorrow, July 18th at SF2 Southwest in Houston, TX , while the white version is scheduled to release later this year.

We’ve already seen the charitable (PRODUCT) Red project join forces with Converse for Lupe Fiasco’s black leather Chuck Taylors and now the two brands will be teaming up again, this time bringing in renowned Cali skate shop, HUF to be their third collaborator. For the latest installment, it will be the Converse Skidgrip getting the (PRODUCT) Red treatment, sticking with the black/red/white color scheme. The HUF “H” covers the black canvas upper with an all-over print and an additional HUF logo tab is included on the side of the midsole. Release info for these is still unknown, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted. Via ASVP.

The New York Mets and their fans are presently in the midst of a frustrating injury-plagued season, but luckily, Pro-Keds is doing their part to boost morale with the release of a super-limited collaboration sneaker. The Pro-Keds 69er Uptowner is about as classic as it gets, once gracing the feet of many of the NBA’s all-time greats, and now the shoe will pay tribute to another group of legendary 69ers, the 1969 Miracle Mets. In a nod to better Mets days, Pro-Keds has partnered with the team to create a 69er Uptowner inspired by the Mets’ royal blue/orange color scheme.
The shoe features a black suede upper with royal and orange stripes lining the midsole and the edge of the toe cap. With the Mets’ colors already in place, the cherry on top comes by way of the “1969″ stitching that graces the heel strip. Fittingly, there will only be 69 pairs produced, with 48 being released to the public and the rest going to NY Mets friends and family. The 48 retail pairs will be split up between only three stores, so if you’re a fan of the team or the shoe, New Jersey’s PackerShoes has got you covered. Even if your Mets pride is not at its highest right now, don’t hesitate on these, because this extremely limited run will not be in stock for long.

Having seen the new Zoom LeBron Ambassador IIs and Zoom Speed Low basketball kicks for Spring ’10, let’s take a look at one more Nike baller for early next year. The Nike Air Flight Scorer is pictured above in three new colourways. The top two have ‘AIR’ inscribed on the rear midsole, while the other eschews this print, but features prominent sweeping on the stripe extending from midfoot to heel. It remains to be seen if both of these models will release or if one will be issued in favor of the other, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Kenlu

The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 has enjoyed a strong revival in 2009, including an amazing reimagination as a basketball shoe. This latest pair incorporates one of the colours that remind us of its original release on a design that’s distinctly contemporary. These feature a mix of black and brown leather laid atop breathable black mesh with purple accents. Save the purple, the upper’s leather features the alphabet inscriptions we’ve seen on previous Swoosh runners. These will be out within a couple of weeks or play it safe and pre-order a pair now on eBay.

The Nike Blazer is Beaverton’s answer to the Converse’s Chuck Taylor All Star in that it’s an old school basketball sneaker whose simple design has lent it to hundreds, if not thousands of releases over the years. This latest Blazer High takes a page from Chuck himself, adding a rubber toe cap. The Blazer’s cap, though, swoops back further on the inside, leaving this shoe with a nice asymmetrical flair. This little touch adds alot to the white, grey and navy blue palette. These may or may not release in the future, but you can grab them today from Osneaker.
