One of the more underappreciated Air Max styles from the 90′s is poised to make a U.S. comeback in Spring 2010, but before it hits the States, it looks like a few new colorways will be popping up overseas. The Nike Air Triax ’94 has recently dropped at select European retailers with a fresh new look to help draw some overdue attention to the return of the model. This version sports a combination of Black leather and mesh on the upper with sections of Light Grey, a White midsole and splashes of bright Blue on the Swoosh, laces and branding, as well as inside the Air bag. It looks unlikely that this pair will hit the U.S., but the Air Triax ’94 will be showing up in other colorways this spring.

Earlier today, we scooped you on the Jumpman23.com website redesign. One of the most improved areas of the site is the presentation of footwear and apparel. It’s both easier to buy what’s already available and also to get a look at what to expect in the near future. And it looks like Jordan Brand has crafted their best apparel collection thusfar, one that is pretty much entirely centered around sneakerhead culture. From the Gatorade takeoff with an elephant-printed lightning bolt to the numous kicks-emblazoned tees, this collection has something for everyone. Take a look at the whole spread after the jump.

We mentioned this in our description of that pair of Air Classic BWs earlier today: European exclusivity is something that both benefits and plagues the Nike Air Max Light. On one hand, their availability makes a pair like this perfectly balanced mix of black/grey/blue very hard to get. Then again, resourceful sneakerheads realize that a release limited to ‘international’ customers makes them more valuable to collect and even more impressive in the streets. They’re available now at select European NSW retailers for those who love to hear, “Where’d you get those?”

Nike Sportswear’s latest flagship store in the Harajuku district of Tokyo just got shipments of two of the dopest ladies sneakers we’ve seen in a while. First up is the Nike Luna Racer+ AP designed by Hasegawa Rie. It goes with a mixed berry palette of purple and pink with a yellow sockliner that makes sense of that hue appearing on the multicoloured laces. As for Lunar Glide+ AP by Misako Yasuda, it’s pink and white, with stars all over. Take a look at more shots after the jump and head over to Nike Harajuku if your Black Friday took you abroad for the best deals.

With the Nike Air Max Skyline, you have a running sneaker that Beaverton designed last year to look like it came from their late 80s/early 90s golden age. These two pairs take the design to its obvious extremes: one has a fully ‘retro’ look, while the other features a modern palette. For the former, it’s that mix of aqua and purple that sets your memory banks to ’93, while the latter relies on the black/grey/white complex for balance while bright blue hits come in for contrast. Both of these just hit Nike Sportswear retailers in the Old World.

Yours truly is planning a Black Friday run though the Bay Area boutiques. If you happen to be at HUF with me, be sure to check out these new releases from adidas Skateboarding. There are two new adidas Campus Vulc models on tap, and the multicoloured Tim O’Connor Mid is probably the pick of the litter. Then again, the lowtop and the Mark Gonzales signature Superstar Skate are both looking quite smooth in black nubuck with leather accents and red contrast stitching. The Superstar is only available at 812 Sutter, with the other two dropping at both locations.

Aside from its Persian Violet colourway, many American sneakerheads might not be familiar with the Nike Air Classic BW because you’ll rarely see them at, say, Foot Locker. Like its cousin the Air Max Light, the Big Window is frequently a Euro exclusive, as is the case with these black beauties. They go with a smooth mix of black, grey and white that’s perfectly blended at a midfoot gradient. They’re available now at selet Nike Sportswear retailers in Europe.

Let’s have a look at the latest collaboration between Undefeated, LIVESTRONG and Nike. It’s the ‘ONYOURBIKEKID’ Air Force 1 Low Supreme that looks more than a little like the Nike Vandal thanks to the shared use of piping. On this AF1, the thick black lines frame a forefoot featuring a tonal keffiyeh print, with smooth yellow leather on the rear. These will hit Nike Harajuku on December 4th, and you just know there’s going to be a stateside release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates. via SM

If you were to build a fantasy sneaker brand, we doubt it could have gotten to a much better start than Supra. They have some highly influential fans, built up the Skytop II with some leaked samples a la Nike, and then released Chad Muska’s latest signature sneaker in a limited drop only at Paris’ colette. Muska was on hand to sign the 600 pairs of the ‘Gradient’ Supra Skytop II and it looks like fun was had by all. Take a look at more party photos after the jump. via SF

For a site that used to require constant attention with its Air Jordan Flight Club exclusives, Jumpman23.com has been updated relatively infrequently of late. We’ve come to expect some new content each quarter along with sneak peaks and release dates, but the general layout has been identical for years. Well, start saying all of those things in the past tense, as Jordan Brand’s website has just undergone a thorough redesign.
Pictured above is the new landing page, where you’ll find links to greatly-improved apparel and footwear sections, along with some interesting feature sections. For the product pages, you can easily choose to see what’s out now, what’s on the way and when, or everything all at once, all clearly labeled. Check out how much better the new site looks and feels for your holiday shopping needs.
