The Air Jordan IX Premio – the second overall installment of the Jordan Brand BIN23 Collection – won’t see a stateside release until this Saturday, June 5th, but some of our sneakerhead brethren on the other side of the globe already had the chance to cop the limited Air Jordan IX BIN23.

Memorial Day Weekend signifies the beginning of the summer, and what better way to spend the sunny days and hot summer nights with a pair of white-on-white kicks? The Nike Sportswear White Perforated Pack has you covered; included in this trio is the revamped classic Nike Dunk High AC, fresh 21st century design Nike Toki, and the incomparable Nike Air Force 1 Low. Each pair features a crisp leather upper with micro-perforations and a slight hint of bronze in the form of a lace dubrae for the AF1 and a midsole/upper border lining on the Dunk and Toki. There’s something about perforated leather that can’t be defined but it surely boosts up any pair of kicks into a luxurious level. We should expect these to drop sometime in the coming months so stick with Sneaker News for more info. via urbanlook.

Among the more unique designs from Nike Training’s recent revival, the Nike Women’s Air Max Trainer 1s pictured above make you wonder why these are a ladies-only shoe. On one hand, the design is up there with any of the other updated Trainers, and some of the other Air Attack Pack releases have been suitable for either gender, but the other hand reminds you that these white/purple and black/pink looks are best left to the lovelies. With the black pair especially, there’s a hologram pattern on the forefoot strap and descending mudguard that’s probably a bit too whimsical for most guys, so while the silhouette itself is hot, these are fittingly labeled ‘WMNS’. Grab a pair for yourself or your special someone today from NikeStore.

Since Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat were ousted from the Playoffs, the Air Jordan 2010 hasn’t made much noise; the last release was the WELCOME HOM3 edition from earlier this month and on deck is the Black/Charcoal/Varsity Red colorway set for a June release. Matching the clear mud and heelguards is a translucent sole that reveals a red cushion unit with no other hints of varsity red being evident. If you haven’t picked up a pair of the Air Jordan XXV aka the 2010, grab this pair from steptorun on eBay.

We got a glimpse at the new Nike 6.0 Melee lowtop yesterday, and while that pair’s photorealistic camouflage is quite impressive, we know plenty of folks out there will still want something relatively simple to keep with today’s trends. The Melee is somewhat similar to a Dunk Low with autoclaved sole, but key additions on the side panel and heel make distinguish these as brand new. Those are places you might see splashes of color in the future, but these four new pairs are all monochromatic uppers with a contrasting Swoosh. Choose from black/white, burgundy/black, blue/yellow, grey/red, or just cop all four when they hit Nike Six retailers in Fall 2010.

While the Retros may appeal to the older crowd, Jordan Brand’s hybrid experiments and newer designs do quite well with the youths, and this new colorway of the Air Jordan Flight 9 in perfect pink is obviously pointed right at the young girls. The last Flight 9 GS colorway we showed you also featured a “girly” Violet Pop colorway and perfect pink mixed with white and stealth grey accomplishes does the same to appeal to the younger crowd. Check out the images of this new colorway after the jump and pick up a pair from steptorun on eBay.
