To the disappointment of many, we are sad to report that the eagerly anticipated U.S. release of the McFly edition of the Nike Hypermax has apparently been cancelled. The shoe was slated to drop this weekend alongside the Tennis Ball Hypermax NFW. The Tennis Ball version will still hit stores, but the McFly has been scratched, reportedly because of legal issues with Universal Studios, who owns the rights to the Back to the Future franchise. It hardly seems like a bad business idea to bring new attention and buzz to your 20 plus year old movie, but we’re sure the studio has their reasons. As you might expect, the upcoming McFly edition of the Hyperdunk Low that was scheduled for a Spring 2010 release will also likely get the axe, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted if anything changes.

Here comes the latest Nike ACG Air Max Abasi. These are suited to be your favourite for hikes through the fall with a tonal brown and black getup. Bright red and yellow come in on the Swoosh, tongue and heel pull. This burst of colour really differentiates the browns and makes it easier to pick out the ripstop nylon on the underlay. These have a carbon fiber forefoot midsole, a feature that may prove to be part of the Abasi’s signature look. They’re available now from retailers like StepToRun on eBay.
Style: 365752-361
Color: Dark Army/Dragon Red-Classic Olive

The Hundreds released their first line of footwear about a year ago. This anniversary collection brings the Johnson back in both mid and lowtop cuts. The mids are perforated leather while the lows go for suede. Along with these two designs comes the Valenzuela canvas lowtop. All three will release at The Hundreds in LA and San Francisco on Thursday and more retailers soon thereafter. via HB

The Nike Air Total Max Uptempo was among the key releases from Nike Basketball’s Fall/Winter 1997 lineup. The massive Air bubble and huge heel jewel are back in another two colour release here. The white pair with navy blue accents have a Duke Blue Devils vibe about them. The tongue, Swooshes and swooping stripe are all shiny as well, which gives this simple palette a nice boost. Grab yours today from 95Soleman on eBay.

Before it’s seen any time on the NBA and college courts, the Nike Hyperize has borrowed on the rich Beaverton heritage. With the Hyperize Decades Pack, we get the Hyperdunk sequel done up like four of the most legendary designs from the 90s. There’s a royal blue pair that resembles the original Foamposite One, a Safari printed pair in orange and black, an Air Max 90 pair in white, black and infrared and the neon Air Max 95 version. They’re all available at the Foot Locker House of Hoops’ four locations on Saturday, August 29th, a date which will also see the wider release of the G.I. Joe Pack including the Destro Hyperize that released early to open the new Cherry Hill, NJ HoH.

Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, attended the New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies game on August 23rd at Citi Field in New York to throw out the first pitch, and he did so in some very dope Nike x Haze Dunk High’s. DJ AM who is known for being one of the biggest celebrity sneakerheads was last spotted by us attending a Lakers NBA Playoffs Game in some “Lightning” Air Jordan IV’s. In addition to the dope kicks that AM wore he also wore a custom NY Mets jersey with his name and number 1 on the back.

The Space Jam Air Jordan XI (11) Retro isn’t the only release from MJ’s second threepeat that you can get early. The Air Jordan XII (12) ‘Flu Game’ commemorates Mike’s epic performance in game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against Utah. With their suede upper, tongue embroidery and heel details, these are significantly different from the original leather bred XIIs. They’re sure to be a tough cop in November, so grab select sizes of these today from Osneaker.
Style: 130690-062
Color: Black/Varsity Red

Here’s a pleasant surprise for fall. We know all about the big Air Jordan releases on the way soon and this one sorta slipped under the radar. Slip into the Air Jordan 1 Velcro Low, this time in black and gum. This colour is the only one on the entire upper comprised of rich leather and woven nylon. These feature the light brown gum rubber that we’ve come to expect for the outsole and instead use it on the midsole atop more black premium leather. Grab a pair today from Kumastock.

Last week we gave you a sneak preview of this year’s Doernbecher Freestyle project between Jordan Brand and the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The Air Jordan VI has been chosen as the canvas for the yearly partnership and as usual, something very unique and interesting has been created. The Air Jordan VI has been draped in navy blue suede with some tonal graphics and patterns embossed into the upper. Accents are provided by some splashes of red and gold, giving the shoe a patriotic Olympic feel. A clear outsole and heel embroidery add some nice additional touches to the outside of the model, but there’s also some cool stuff going on inside it as well. The gold insoles feature a red embroidered Jumpman logo and the inside of the tongues sport a “What Time Is It?….Gametime!” message. As previously reported, these are expected to drop in very limited quantities late this fall, so stick with Sneaker News for further info. Via Kenlu.

Creative custom cakes are all the rage lately and as you may have noticed, the sneakerhead community is joining the fun. We have recently shown you two different cakes that were made to look like the Air Yeezy, and now we get a look at a wedding cake made for a collector with more of a classic style. The OG red/white/black Air Jordan 1 has been intricately sculpted out of cake, icing and other goodies to give the happy couple a far more special and memorable day than they ever could have had with just your standard old wedding cake. After all, nothing says I love you like a fresh pair of kicks and as we all know, marriages these days come and go, but OG Air Jordan 1′s are forever. Via NK.
