Nike Air Max 90’s are some of the most popular and sought after sneakers in the game, and when a great colorway gets released the demand rises even more. Here are the Nike Air Max 90 Currents, which have been re-tweaked a little bit from the original Air Max 90 silhouette. The addition of a Nike Free sole gives these 90’s a nice clean look. Although the real demand for these comes from their colorway and materials used. The shoe is predominantly black, but has clean accents of infrared on the air unit and translucent plastic lace holes that play well off the all black background. Premium materials such as Ostrich leather give these Air Max 90’s a touch of class and luxury, while the mesh toe box stays true to the original Air Max 90 design. Look for these to hit select retailers some time in late November/early December.

Nike and Patta seem to be collaborating on not one but two different Air Max 1 Premium sneakers that are hitting retailers this month. The first we showed you was the White and Chlorophyll colorway that is a Quickstrike release at select Nike Sportswear accounts worldwide. This second colorway is similar to the Chlorophyll in that the materials used are almost identical however instead of Chlorophyll, Purple is used as a replacement. The team at Patta wanted to pay homage to the original Air Max sneaker from Nike that was released in 1987 and designed by the infamous Tinker Hatfield but make it more “street-friendly”, thus Purple Denim, canvas, and nubuck was used while keeping the color blocking similar to the original Air Max 1. These White and Purple Nike x Patta Air Max 1 Premium TZ sneakers are available now exclusively at Patta in the Netherlands.

Whether it was his love for Chicago deep dish (wait, wasn’t it a pizza that caused the ‘Flu Game’?) or some other factor, we can’t say, but every one of Michael Jordan’s 60+ point games came against Eastern Conference opponents. Enter the Air Jordan Sixty Plus in a grey makeup that has accents reminiscent of the old Cleveland Cavaliers’ colours. Grab a pair today from Extra Butter.

‘Hufquake’, or ’Craked Leather’ as Nike officially named it, has popped up on several other sneakers since word spread about the release of an updated verson of the shoe that made it popular. Since Huf’s Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache was revealed, we’ve seen an Air Flight Concord and the Mighty Crown Dynasty High prominently featuring cracked leather. Those Concords frankly already looked a little like someone designed them on Nike iD, so we’re excited to see the desert floor-like pattern popping up there for Air Max 90s. Head on over to the Nike iD website and design your own pair today.

It’s well documented that sneakerheads love their Air Jordans, and whenever an OG Retro model is on the horizon, needless to say, the buzz gets pretty strong leading up to the eventual release. To say that’s what’s happening with the upcoming Space Jam Air Jordan XI would be a massive understatement. Sneaker collectors are literally foaming at the mouth right now at the thought of being able to grab a pair of the long-coveted Space Jams this coming December. Beside the fact that the original Space Jam colorway was so beloved, what makes the Retro release even more special is that unlike many other Air Jordan classics that are being re-released with alternate colors, materials or both, these will actually maintain their original form. The only new twist is the elaborate packaging, but that should hardly be grounds for many complaints. Check out the video to see these beauties unboxed and displayed for your viewing pleasure, and keep reading after the jump for some more pics of all the magical wonders contained in the Retro Space Jam shoe box.

A number of player’s around the league were also seen in the new Nike Basketball Hyperize. Some notable shoe’s that were spotted between Opening Night and last night were Lebron’s Nike Air Max Lebron VII in Black and Gold. Phoenix Suns’ Point Guard, Steve Nash, was seen wearing a new pair of Nike Basketball’s Cradle Rock Low’s. And of course the Jordan Brand athletes, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, and the offseason “acquisition” Dwyane Wade were all seen in various new Jordan Brand sneakers.

Paris is widely regarded as the fashion capital of the world, so as part of their opening at the ‘Librarie’, Nike Sportswear employed local dyemakers 180g to freshen up some of their lifestyle models. Tonal editions of the Flytop, Tennis Classic, and newcomer Nike Flash look quite sophisticated. Meanwhile, what looks to be a nylon Dunk High in bright turquoise compliments a range of electrically-hewn NSW garb and implies we’ll see a brighter side of this collection, possibly come spring. As for now, the more conservative joints will be dropping next Thursday, November 5th at 180g, with additional pairs to sell at NikeParis.

You know how the Air Jordan 1 has been beefed up, strapped up and coloured in every shade of the rainbow? Expect that same treatment for little sneakerheads too with the Air Jordan J Man. It’s basically an elastic strapped AJ1 Low that slips on without the Phat tongue that we’ve grown accustomed to. This one goes with a simple white-on-black colourway that adds some spice in the form of tonal elephant print on the toebox, tongue and heel. Cop a pair for your youngster today from NikeStore.

Jordan Brand has been going in pretty hard with Air Jordan 1 releases this season, and they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. There are two brand new colorways scheduled for release: An olive green with a full suede upper, perforated side panels and toe box with a white midsole and gum outsole. The other pair comes in a navy blue suede and leather combination with perforated side panels and toe box. There are also some Carolina blue accents for the Jumpman, as well as a Carolina blue outsole and sock liner. Via Warped
