This Air Jordan 1 Retro High was part of the Air Jordan 1 fall 2009 preview that we gave you a few weeks back, and now we have some detailed images to admire. This version uses a Black full-grain leather upper with sections of Shadow Grey Elephant print on the toe box, Swoosh and rear panel and matching Grey accents on the tongue branding and laces. The kicks are then finished off by a White midsole and Black outsole, helping to give these kicks a classic look with some nice subtle flavor courtesy of the faint Elephant pattern. Expect these to hit Jordan retailers some time in September, and in the meantime, you can check out a bunch of nice closeups after the jump. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

You already know that you can grab the new Nike Zoom Aspiration early on eBay, but let’s now take a closer look at Nike’s sleek new basketball design. The Zoom Aspiration follows in the steps of the Zoom BB and KD1, topping a low profile Zoom Air-equipped sole with a smooth, svelte upper. The Zoom Aspiration does these recent court kicks one better, extending Beaverton’s ‘REFresh’ initiative by incorporating design elements from the iconic Blazer, Vandal and one other classic design (can anyone identify the pair embroidered on the right of the inside tongue?). These have an XDR outsole, and you can tell they’re perfectly crafted for outdoor ballin’ because the breathable mesh upper is exactly what you need if you dare rock a black sneaker on the asphalt this summer. Take a look at the dozen or so detailed shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on new colourways. via HoopChina

We got the tiniest glimpse at some of the regional editions about a month ago, followed by last week’s detailed preview of the upcoming Air Jordan 16.5. Though they rock a distinctly Bulls colourway, these won’t be limited to Chicagoland. The Air Jordan 16.5 combines elements of the Air Jordan XVI (16) and Air Jordan XVII (17) into one of the smoothest mashups we’ve seen. Notably, the patent toe from the XVIs melds perfectly with the eyelet structure of the XVIIs. The triangular side panels of the 16 are here, but neither shoe’s laceguard seems to be present. One feature that is apparent is the skillful mix of both shoes’ midsoles. Take a look at the shots after the jump and let us know if these do the originals justice. Photos via FlightClub

Chien-Ming Wang has fathered a son and received a signature Nike all in the last month. While there’s no doubt that Justin’s birth was at the top of CM’s list, this little baby isn’t bad, itself. The Nike Air Max 1 TW (Taiwan) QS bearing his name features a white patent leather upper atop a black midsole. That’s a nice contrast in and of itself, but the golden baseball-style stitching along the mudguard is what makes this design special. They released this past weekend in Taiwan and should drop later stateside, but why wait when you can grab them today from eBay. Photos: ABC Kicks

The latest Nike Trainer 1 bears a striking resemblance to the original colourway, but includes one key difference. The palette is nearly identical, with the main difference being a swap of the classic chlorophyll hue for cactus yellow. This shade outlines the Swoosh and adds touches on the tongue and Air bubble. if you’re getting ready for football or some other sport, grab these today from FinishLine.

It seems like the Air Max Light would always pop up from time to time in a few colorways, but lately, the classic model has been back in full force, dropping in a variety of new color schemes. The latest to emerge is a retro-looking version that sports a Shadow Grey upper with contrasting touches of Hot Red and Blue. Additional accents are provided by a White lining, toe box and midsole that help give the shoe that classic Air Max look. If you’re a fan of the Air Max Light or have become one thanks to this new colorway, you can pick up a pair of these beauties right now from JDsports.

By now, you’re probably well aware of the Jones Beach edition of the Air Force 1 that made a lot of news a few weeks back. The shoe is constructed from a combination of high-quality materials with some nice touches of Jones Beach flavor like the shape of Long Island on the insoles and outsoles. Originally released in limited quantities to select spots in Long Island, the kicks have just hit NYC with a recent shipment that arrived at the Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer store. As with the first batch that dropped, these will no doubt go quick, so if you’re in the area, it might be worth your while to check if they’ve got any left. You can get a closer look at some of the finer details of this fresh summer release after the jump.

We just saw a new look for the Nike Air Rejuven8: a black pair featuring a leather upper. This new release pictured above takes the design a step further, incorporating design cues from the Rejuven8 in another radical original. The Nike Air Footscape Supreme is always eye-catching, but with the Rejuven8′s lattice-like overlay, these are impossible to ignore. Nike Sportswear balanced this gawk-worthy design with a subtle white and beige palette that looks dope atop a gum rubber sole. You can cop these today from atmos.

Beauty & Youth released their own chukka last November and collaborated with Vans on a pack of Eras this summer, so these are the logical next step. The Beauty & Youth x Vans Chukka 80′s Pack has the same special box design as the Era teamup and follows a similarly subdued route. There’s one in light brown with a slightly darker brown accent, while the chocolate brown pair has sandy piping. Expect these at United Arrows and Beauty & Youth retail locations, plus online at ZOZOTOWN this Friday, July 17th.

Last month, we gave you a detailed look at the upcoming L’Style One model from Jordan Brand, and now we have some release info, as well as some pics and news on a second colorway that will be dropping a month later. Like the Blasé Mid that we previewed last week, the L’Style One will be aimed at the lifestyle sneaker market. The shoe has a very distinguished look, but still manages to capture the innovative Jordan aesthetic in the process. The L’Style One sports an extra-high cut with premium leather uppers that feature multiple straps and a large Jordan Wings logo perforated onto the side. In addition to the Ginger/Dark Cinder colorway that we already showed you, there will also be a Cherrywood Red/Gum version following shortly after. You can get a closer look at both colorways and their release details after the jump.
