Back in June, we brought you the exciting news that artist Futura is once again teaming up with Nike for some collaboration sneakers. Futura has designed what’s known as the “True Pack,” a collection of four Air Force 1 models. The pack will consist of white/orange and grey/white Air Force 1 Lows as well as black/white and navy/orange Air Force 1 Highs. All four feature perforated premium leather uppers with Futura’s signature on the tongue labels and a wild outsole with the word “TRUE” scrawled across the bottom. The pack is expected to drop at select retailers some time next January, and for now you can check out multiple pics of each after the jump. Via Glltn.

A new colorway of the Air Jordan Force IV (AJF 4) in Girl’s Sizes (GS) has been released and this new one features a colorway that many would argue is strikingly similar to the various Staple “Pigeon” sneakers including the upcoming New Balance x Staple M575J. The official colorway is Cool Grey, Infared, and Neutral Grey where the upper uses the two different shades of Grey and accents it with Infared. Unlike the Men’s AJF 4, the GS version does not feature a visible Air unit, however this colorway is sure to have some Jordan Brand fans asking why it was never made in Men’s sizes. These are available now at select Jordan Brand retailers including LTD Online.
Style: 365370-061
Color: Cool Grey/Infared-Neutral Grey

Nike Basketball and Sole Collector have gotten together to collaborate on a Friends & Family colorway of the new Nike Basketball shoe, the Zoom Flight Club. The inspiration came from the hometown team of Sole Collector write, Nick DePaula, the Sacramento Kings, specifically the Purple Hyperflight sneakers that Jason Williams wore when he was still playing for the Kings. The upper uses a new material from Nike Basketball called “Armor” and is the similar to the Foamposite material we’ve known and come to love from Nike, only it’s left raw and unmolded. On the strap of the Zoom Flight Club you can see Sole Collector has blessed these shoe’s with their logo. While these are only for Friends & Family at the moment, one lucky person can easily win a pair by following Sole Collector on Twitter. via Sole Collector

In 1994, Michael Jordan took a break from dominating the NBA to fulfill a boyhood dream and give baseball a shot. Mike signed with Chicago White Sox farm team, the Birmingham Barons, and proved once and for all that even the greatest athlete in the world can have trouble hitting a curveball. Baseball didn’t go so well for MJ, but we’re now left with some cool mementos from his days on the diamond. These Air Jordan IX cleats were made for Michael in a black/white White Sox/Barons color scheme with leather on the upper and suede on the mudguard, as well as a number 45 embroidered into the heel. This pair has been signed by Jordan and packaged with an autographed baseball in a home plate-shaped display case. You can check out some more pics after the jump and go to yahoo.co.jp for more details on the auction.

Until now, the Nike Air Royal Mid had kept things simple and classy. These maintain the smooth construction but bright metallic leather on the upper in several colours requires attention. Metallic silver from the toebox up through the eyelets frames a blue hindfoot. Red comes in on the tongue, with white laces matching the midsole. These should drop soon and we’ll keep you updated. via HS

The first wave of Nike RT1 High releases made a big splash, but recent colorways don’t seem to have packed the same punch. Luckily, there are some more RT1 High models on the way that appear to have the potential to reel people back in. This version sports a rich brown leather upper with a section of brown nubuck on the ankle panel. The solid brown upper is met by a gum midsole with a purple outsole and purple laces to add some color to the mix. This juicy colorway will be hitting stores in late September or early October, leaving plenty of time to get fresh for fall. You can check out some close-ups after the jump and stay tuned for exact release details.

Boston’s Concepts has played a major role in sneaker collaboration and prove their versatility with this release. The Concepts x Clarks Originals Wallabees pack marks the first time Clarks co-branded with a retail brand and the results are stunning. Three super-glossy patent leather designs feature interlocking Cs etched on the outer heel, just below a Concepts hang tag and just above the store name burnt into the Wallabee’s crepe sole. There’s one each in marooon, navy blue and forest green and all should hit in September.

Laser-etched ABCs are here to stay. So says Nike with this latest release of Blazer Mid Premium NDs. These go hard in black, a mix of leather and suede contrasted by a white midsole-toe. Purple laces reinforce its dark leanings, but there’s a twinkle in the black that deserves another look. Though the characters are etched in dark purple, they really liven up and add brightness to this design. Grab a pair of these stateside soon or now from Dunk.com.cn.

Comme des Garcons has a line of their own sneakers but have proven over the years that a well placed collaboration can be nice as well. These Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars are more definitively ‘Comme’ than Junya Watanabe’s subtle work on the similarly-floppy Vans Sk8-Hi. Each pair of this run designed by Rei Kawakubo features the signature heart design and will launch at the end of August. They’re sized unisex-ly and will retail for $100. via SlamXHype
