The Nike Air Classic BW was subject to a number of lab experiments in Beaverton, OR. It was hybridized with the classic Huarache to form the Nike B Huarache, and soon you’ll see the Nike Air BW Gen II. Here are new amalgamations to look forward to, as the BW is fused with the Nike Air Max 95 and the Nike Air Max Plus to form two “new” Air Max models, the Nike Air Max Modular 95 SI and the Air Max Modular 98 SI.
The Nike Air Max Modular 95 SI takes the Classic BW upper and the rear air unit and tongue of the Air Max 95, while the Nike Air Max Modular 98 SI utilizes the AM+ design lines on the toe and the rear sole unit. Both are just the latest of Nike’s hybrid endeavors, so expect more on the way. We’ll let you know when these Air Max hybrids drop. via chajinyoung.

If you follow Sneaker News, you already know we’re excited about these. This Nike Air Foamposite One was our fifth selection for our Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 list, and the upcoming copper joints have people seriously considering extra employment. If you’ve got the two bills to drop on the Dirty Copper Foamposites, then you’ll be doubly psyched to see that the beloved eggplant colourway will retro again this March. Not a whole lot more you can say about this brilliant design that hasn’t already been said, so peep about two dozen detailed images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for the exact release date. via Kinstor

The infamous AJKO is a topic that lurks in on sneaker forums every now and then that causes people to complain why won’t Jordan Brand retro, or comment that they’re drooling in front of their screen in jealousy of someone else’s personal shots. Wishes come into fruition now that it’s confirmed that Jordan will finally bring these gems back. Keeping to the canvas and colorway form of one of its OG releases, the new version will feature a vintage treated midsole, to make some fools think you’ve been rocking ‘em for years. The yellowed midsole might turn people away, but that’s how it is – take it, or sit back another 10 years hoping JB gets it right the second retro around. For those interested, RMKstore is already accepting pre-orders.

The OG colourway of the Nike Air Max 97 is the popular silver and red that became a staple in a sneakerhead’s collection. Here’s a look at an updated women’s colourway of the ’97, which it uses a silver upper, but more shimmering than that of the OG color, which was a bit more dull. Taking place of the red is a feminine pink, and a light grey sole for a soft touch. Read on for a coupon code and grab your pair from Finishline for under retail!

The spindly, second-overall draft pick in 2007 is making Greg Oden look like Sam Bowie 2.0, as Kevin Durant takes the first leap into superstardom with his first ever NBA All-Star selection. Check out his first ever NBA All-Star colourway of his signature Nike KD2 shoe, in the Western Conference red; you’ll see the red wood-grain that’s been the common denominator among all the All-Star colourways. Technically, this is KD’s second All-Star colourway, but a bonafide first as a certified NBA All-Star. If you need a refresher, check out the All-Star KD1 that he wore during last year’s All-Star weekend in Phoenix. via SC.

You can slam on the brakes now – we know what you’re going to ask. No, these are not affiliated with Jordan Brand or the Air Jordan XI Space Jam, but who wouldn’t love this colourway? Granted these won’t have a crazy release event like the Foot Locker Space Jam XI fiasco, but these are clean nonetheless and would be a sick add-on to any roster of Nike Blazers. An all-black upper, white vulc-sole, and the royal blue acting as a border between the two should give you enough reason to pick up a pair of these “Blazer Jams”. These are available now at Premium Laces.

The Air Max running shoe came back with a bang in 2009, as the Nike Air Max 2009 and its fully uncaged full-length Air unit made the Sneaker News Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 list. The Nike Air Max Tailwind, the first ever Nike shoe that featured a visible Air unit, is back in 2010, and looks to steal some of the spotlight. The Nike Air Max Tailwind 2010 features an Air unit that spans most of the entire sole and a comfortable, breathable upper that will enable the Tailwind to maintain its runner-friendly reputation. Both the black/white and neon green/grey colourways are now available at Finishline, but expect many more colourways to release soon. Don’t forget to read on to get a coupon code that’ll save you $10 bucks.
Update: The Tailwind was not the first to feature a visible Air unit; the Air Max 87 was. The Tailwind was, however, the first to feature Air cushioning.

If you’re looking for a pair to really wow the crowd this upcoming season, there’s no need to look further; Jeremy Scott’s got you covered. The Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals line is known for its avant-garde design and flamboyant features, and each year Scott looks to take his ideas a step further. Check out the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals Spring 2010 Collection and you’ll see some familiar faces as well as newer designs. Apparently Jeremy Scott sees no limits, as he uses rhinestones, oversized logos, and golf-shoe inspirations on his upcoming collection, not to mention a license plate and use of three tongues in the July 2010 Jeremy Scott x adidas line-up. These are set to hit select adidas retailers soon so stay tuned! via nitrolicious.

It’s been five years since the Nike Zoom Huarache 2k5, and while each consequent year had its output of a Huarache basketball shoe, no pair had a year tied to the name. Back in 2010 is the Nike Huarache 2010, available in two colourways. The first is a monotone all-black colourway, while the second uses white as the base with red and black trim. The Huarache 2010 has already been seen on the NBA Hardwood, as Orlando swingman Rashard Lewis has his own Nike Huarache 2010 PE. Both the black/black and white/red/black pairs are available at Finishline, but continue reading for a coupon code that’ll save you some green.

The basic construction of the Converse Chuck Taylor leaves it wide-open for customization and colorful ideas. Here’s one that’s a bit cartoonish in itself; the Converse Chuck Taylor Dambi Pack. Think “101 Dalmatians” and “Bambi” and you get the Dambi High, and it isn’t rocket science to figure out which movie pairs with which colourway. The uppers use a soft, fuzzy material, but rest assured that no cuddly animals were hurt during the production of these sneakers. Both pairs are available in certain sizes overseas at Flauge.
