Arriving this Holiday 2010 season is a great selection of All Conditions Gear in familiar silhouettes but with a clear and present alteration. Lunar Foam, Nike’s cushioning system introduced in 2008, makes its way to the ACG department and replaces the classic trail-boot traction with the foamy cushion. The classic Nike Wildwood and last winter’s Nike Woodside Boot alongside a third ACG design receive the Lunar treatment, with a tougher LunarLon making its way on the heavy duty boots and the original Lunarlite on the trail-specific Wildwood. Expect these to hit Nike retailers this Holiday 2010 in colorways in addition to these Neon-95 inspired renditions, so stick with Sneaker News for more info. via SneakersBR.

Left in no-man’s land after Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson both retired, Scottie Pippen played the lockout-shortened 1999 NBA season with the Houston Rockets. Trevor Ariza could have stayed with the (soon to be back-to-back?) NBA Champion LA Lakers, but instead signed with H-Town and finds himself both figuratively and somewhat literally in Pippen’s shoes. Here are two Nike Air Max A Lot Trevor Ariza PEs, the black pair of which looks quite similar to the first ones to hit retail, plus custom embroidery on the heel and a bred sole. For the ‘home’ look, Ariza got something totally unique in white and red, which if released, would be one of the best Max A Lots. Stick with Sneaker News to see if Nike Basketball releases these and transforms the player exclusive sneaker into this decade’s replica jersey.

The Nike Hyperdunk 2010 is set to to arrive very soon, so let’s take a look at one of the first colorways of the HD 2010 that we can an extensive look on. Comet Red, White, and Del Sol make up this pair, and a quick connection could be made to the Houston Rockets or more fittingly the Chinese National Basketball Team. featuring the cracked-marble upper with Flywire and a graphic on the yellow trim on the ankle, the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 focuses both on detail and performance. A slew of other colorways should hit Nike Basketball retailers soon but you can now pre-order this vibrant pair from footwear_depot on eBay.

A quick follow up to the last look of the new Brian Anderson Blazer. Part of the newest installment of Nike SB’s Custom Series, the notable lower mid cut of the Blazer is in fact black suede, rather than the initially speculated deep navy. The Orange of the Swoosh seems to tie in well with Anderson’s Dunk High in the 2006 Custom Series. It’s been confirmed for a June 2010 release, so expect these soon. Certain locations like Flatspot has them early if you’re low on patience.

Carmelo Anthony and his Denver Nuggets couldn’t get past Utah while he was wearing them, but Austin Jermacans clearly handled his business when it came to the Air Jordan Future Sole Melo M6. A nice foil to the relatively simple ‘original’ M6 design, the Future Sole M6 is finally about to hit retailers, and it’s hard to imagine a better colorway to start. These black nubuck joints have quite a few nice touches, from the polka dotted side panels to the quilted stitching on the ankle lockdown. The University Blue hits just explode off of that dark background, and just a hint of Taxi reminds us of the Rich-n-Creamies’ uniforms (and oh yeah, the Air Jordan XII). Expect the Melo M6 Future Sole at select Jordan Brand retailers next Saturday, May 29th.

Canvas and plaid is a combination of material and textile that’s a summertime staple, so it’s not wonder Nike put out a ton of great colorways of the Nike Dunk High and Low featuring those two focal points. But don’t mess this pair with that group; instead of a canvas, this new Nike Dunk High features synthetic leather on the upper but uses the gingham plaid on upper panels. The dual tones of blue along with the white are taken straight from a Sunday picnic outfit, so slap on your khakis and pick these up from Nikestore.

The recently released Jordan 1 Fund and upcoming Air Jordan RPM are both low-cut street-shoe designs that are ideal for those who wish to stay loyal to the brand but might be beyond the ‘Retro’ stage. The Jordan Classic Low released last month but slipped under the radar since that time, which is understandable considering the amount of attention geared towards the Air Jordan Retros and development of the Infrared Pack. The Classic Low shares a few design elements from the Fund and RPM – low-mid cut, stitched midsole, visible Air, borderline skate-shoe design – with the white pair featuring micro perforations and a speckled midsole and the black pair featuring patent leather on the mudguard and nubuck on the upper. Check out the images after the jump and head over to Finishline if you’re interested in a pair.

The “Player Exclusive” used to be one of the hardest pairs to get your hands on, but Nike’s recent inundation of PEs for NBA players who have been inactive since the end of April have Nike Basketball fans either applauding these releases scratching their heads. If you are a hardcore Zach Randolph fan, check out this Nike Air Max Hyperize PE made for Z-Bo. We showed you an Air Max Rise PE not long ago so these Hyperizes should thoroughly round out the ultimate Zach Randolph collection. Continue reading for more images. via Nike Basketball.

The two names we typically think of when discussing the Nike Air Max Wavy are Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway and Kevin Garnett. That’s cos the satiny Foamposite finish was a big part of Penny’s signature Nikes, and not only did KG rock the Flightposite II, but his Air (Garnett) III was the clear inspiration for the swooping side panels, as also seen on last year’s Fun Police mashup. But then again, just look at this new pair of Air Max Wavys and try not to think of Tim Duncan’s Nike Total Foamposite Max from 1998-99. It’s pretty much impossible, because that silver and black colorup is better known as the ‘Duncans’ than the shoe’s official name. Irrespective of who this new model ‘belongs’ to, this is one of the hottest Wavys yet. These are expected to ship in July, but are available now for pre-order from footwear_depot on eBay.

In what’s been shaping up to be a heavyweight between you and your wallet, next Saturday’s release of the Air Jordan IX Powder Blue might be the knock-out punch. 2010 might have been the strongest year since 2007 for Jordan Brand in terms of Retros, and the the Powder IXs are at the forefront of that argument. These are truly a ‘Retro’, as this memorable colorway of the first Air Jordan shoe released during Michael Jordan’s first retirement.
However, the Retro and Original are not exact carbon copies; the 23 logo on the heel was absent on the OG, the Jumpman on the bottom sole was Powder Blue, not black, and the color on the midsole is University Blue rather than the original Dark Powder Blue. The Jordan Brand complaint department shouldn’t hear much clamor about these changes because despite these minor discrepancies, the “Powder” Blue Air Jordan IX is sure-fire neck-breaker. Can’t wait til next Saturday? Pick up a pair right now on eBay.
