This new Nike WMNS Air Force 1 features simple colorblocking but reveals an interesteing design cue upon closer inspection. The upper toe contrasts with the remaining panels in that the toe features a patent leather while the rest cedes to the shinier material. The swoosh and miscellaneous trim features a hot pink coloring to give the neutral grey tone a bright pick-me-up. Our female readers can expect these to hit Nike retailers soon. via Dunk.

The Nike Air Royalty is most recently known for the pastry-like Macarons Pack, in which five colorways of the Nike Sportswear silhouette were given a molded leather, no-sew construction. This new women’s colorway of the Nike Air Royalty Hi goes for a picnic-table motif, using a black/white checkered pattern on the tongue, toebox, and ankle. The checkered pattern features a softer appearance compared to, say, the classic checkering on the Vans Slip-On. This Nike WMNS Air Royalty Hi is now available for purchase at TGWO.

Nike Sportswear has released a new pack specifically for the females, this Qi Pao (Cheongsam) pack features a WMNS Blazer Mid Premium and two WMNS Terminator Low’s. The three shoes in this pack draw upon inspiration from the traditional Chinese women’s dress otherwise known as Qi Pao or Cheongasm, which is a tight body hugging dress that typically features various floral prints on it in addition to being made out of rich materials such as silk. The WMNS Qi Pao pack features a silk-like material upper printed with a floral print. The Blazer Mid Premium comes in Sport Red while the two Terminator Low’s come in Vivid Pink and Neptune Blue respectively. Word is that these are limited to Asia only unfortunately. via Dunk.com.cn

Packs of sneakers have become popular in recent years in no small part because once you find a great colorblocking scheme, why *wouldn’t* you swap out different shades? That’s the deal with this new Nike Air Force 1 Low, which features the same mix of perforated and patent leathers as the black joints we showed you on April Fools Day. Instead of black this time, it’s a deep red whose shiny sections are supremely lustrous. The black joints had an icey/smokey translucent outsole as do these, but Team Red is so deep that it’s more of a ‘hidden’ detail. These Uptowns should hit retailers in late April/early May, but you can grab a pair early from FootSoldiers on eBay.

This year marks the 75th anniversary the Jack Purcell model being a part of Converse. While we haven’t seen much of a celebration from the brand yet, we can see they’re putting a lot of energy for a Fall collection. Expect to find some extra nice looking pairs as Converse is hitting the classic silhouette from all angles. Expect to see premium leathers, canvas, and even Woolwich Wool as seen on the black JP Hi above. No word on approximate releases, but keep in tune. via Acquire

Summertime Air Jordan releases are often white and frequently feature bright accent shades, but this pair has that warm weather feel despite being mostly black. The Air Jordan IX ‘Citrus’ was named for the select yellow/orange hits that manage, in combination with a white midsole, to make an otherwise pitch black shoe feel like you *should* rock it this summer. They’re set to hit retailers in early July, so enjoy a big bunch of new detailed images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Taobao

Josh Smith has become an integral element to the Atlanta Hawks doing big things in the NBA Playoffs, and he knows it. In fact, he has proclaimed to customize his own pair of TS Supernatural Commanders from miadidas.com for each round his team advances. Here’s a look at the first pair he made, featuring a simple white upper with red medial panel, straps and inner lining – no surprise he went this direction as it goes well with the Hawks attire. Also fitted on the shoes is the Hawks logo on the heel and ‘Our Time’ found on the middle strap, coming from his catch phrase that has been picking up since the postseason. Smith has signed this pair and has recently put it up for bidding at NBA Auctions, with all proceeds going to the Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta.

Even if you have the black and varsity red pair, even if you have the white joints, hell, even if you have the OGs, anyone who’s remotely interested in Jays has gotta be pumped for the upcoming Air Jordan VI (6) ‘Infrared’ retro release. If you grew up watching NBA on NBC Sunday afternoons, this is a shoe you saw every week during that “Spectacular move by Michael Jordan!” This pair, then, is the figurative flip of the ball from right to left, a retro drop that is totally faithful to the OG (save ‘Nike Air’, of course). Stick with Sneaker News for the Air Jordan VI ‘Infrared’ release date, and early adopters can grab a scant few samples size 9.5-10.5 from MarqueeSole.

One of your favorite Air Maxes gets one of your favorite Jordan color schemes. This Air Max 95 looks like it gets serious inspiration from the Grape Jordan V’s, with hits of teal and purple. Of course there’s slight variations, including a gradient grey side paneling which is inherent of most 95′s. Nonetheless, a dope colorway that’s set to drop at retailers this July, so take a look at some more pics after the jump and keep your eyes peeled this summer. via FootLockerUnlocked.

Nike Alpha Project footwear and gear first hit store shelves back in 1998, with the then-new premium tier designated by a new 5-dot insignia. A dozen years later, Nike Alpha is little more than a historical footnote, but the sense of unlimited possibility echoed in that same time by the dot-com bubble, that feeling is perfectly encapsulated in this shoe. The Nike Flightposite II LE is still ahead of its time in some ways, offering a sleek look into the future of footwear. This new retro release of a former Kevin Garnett signature appears with a nice mix of black on the textile sections plus a navy blue Foamposite hindfoot. Check out more images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Kinstor
