With the new Jordan Rare Air hybrid seeing plenty of previews of late, let’s not forget about the newest Jordan Brand mashup that’s actually available. This new Air Jordan Flight 9 comes to us in a new colorway that makes it more obvious than any other that this shoe draws heavily upon the AJIV. From the ‘Flight’-emblazoned tongues to the square side panel netting, these joints have that undeniable early Jays aesthetic. The black/cement Flight 9s are available now from JB retailers like New York’s Extra Butter.

Vans Vault pays tribute to skateboarding’s original roots; hanging ten. The Surf Shaka pack consists of these SK8 Hi’s whose focal points lie in the graphic elements in the canvas paneling; a caricature form of the shaka, the Hawaiian gesture synonymous with all things cool, rides a surfboard. The rest of the upper consists of suede, colored in eith erblue or mahogany. You’ll notice that the blue pair’s graphics are a simple one-tone, while the other features a more realistic cartoon coloring. No word on any release info, but now that Vault is more exclusive than it once was, we can only imagine these will be rather hard to come across. Stay tuned for further info, while readers in far east can already cop via mischief

We saw several Nike ACG releases over the past year-plus featuring the grid pattern made famous by the Nike Air Mariah, but what about switching the inspiration vector? Here’s the new Size? x Nike Air Mariah ACG, a blacklit scoop of rainbow sherbet that cross-pollinates two quintessentially early ’90s looks. You’ve even got a cookie crumble in the form of a speckled forefoot midsole, how could it get any more delicious?! Reportedly limited to only 240 pairs, you can scoop yours up today exclusively from their designer, British sneaker e-tailer Size? or get them now on eBay.

David Z’s Ronnie Fieg is no stranger to Asics. Now a few projects deep into a history with collabs with the running company, Fieg and Asics are ready to drop another release. We’ve already seen teasers and a risque preview with Tanaya Henry, but here’s a better look emphasizing the shoe itself. Like the previous releases, Fieg concentrates on material and clean color blocking. As promised we have release info confirming that the Super Red’s will drop this Friday, May 21st, at DavidZ.com as well as its flagship SoHo shop. Limited to only 252, the shoes retail at $90 and will include an exclusive tshirt inspired by the shoe’s design.

Mike Bibby was the only guy in this year’s NBA Playoffs wearing the Air Jordan CP3.III, but don’t make the mistake of counting out Chris Paul. The New Orleans Hornets 1 is still at the top of the league when it comes to running the point and new colorways of the CP3.III are sure to find plenty of fans in Nawlins and abroad. This new pair comes in a summertime-perfect white, black and bright blue mix, with just a hint of golden yellow on the soles. It remains to be seen if this is the last colorway from Paul’s third Jordan Brand signature or what his fourth will look like, but slated for a May 2010 release, you’ll find these at your local JB retailer soon, if not right now. via Dunk

Soccer is the most popular sport in Korea, and their surge for the trophy during the 2002 World Cup tournament thrust the peninsulary country into the world stage with the never-say-die “Be The Reds!” chant and improbable Final-Four run. In 2006, the World Cup x Nike Air Force 1 Low Pack released – one in a Korean colorway; Korea is included once again in this commemorative pack of Nike Air Max Light colorways with the royal blue, black, grey, and white reflecting the new Korean kit for the 2010 tournament. Check out this new World Cup x Nike Air Max Light colorway after the jump. via SF.

We saw the Nike Air Max 24/7 appearing in the classic Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ colorway, and now here’s another look at that immortal grey-dient with a different accent. Going with Varsity Red on the eyelets, Swooshes and 360 Max Air cushion, these remind us of last year’s Sport Red AM95s, albeit with a significantly upgraded Air bubble. This pair makes us excited to see more grey-dient AM24/7s, the Silver Bullet version, and even possibly a pair of Comets. But before all that, these Varsity Red joints will hit stateside retailers; pretty soon actually, as they’re already available from UNDFTD Japan.

The NFL’s Miami Dolphins have one of the most easily identifiable team palettes in all of sports. Not straying too far from South Beach’s famed Art Deco architecture, the Fins rock a bright orange and aqua pairing that’s just perfect for summertime fashion. With this new Nike Auto Flight High, there’s an interesting twist on the sea mammal motif, with a gridded overlay adding an almost snakeskin look, especially from afar. It also gives these a nice tonal effect, with just enough orange and white to balance things out. The ‘Dolphins’ Auto Flight High is now available from select Nike Sportswear retailers including the best spot near Stanford University for dope kicks, Palo Alto’s Premier.

The Conference Finals are in full swing; Boston holds a commanding 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals while the Lakers handled the Phoenix Suns with relative ease. Let’s take a look at what brands are being represented on the court; Kobe Bryant is the lone marquee Nike ambassador but most of the Lakers have been outfitted with the Nike Zoom Kobe V. Ray Allen continues to hold Jordan Brand’s position, while East big-men Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard continue their strong push for adidas. Kevin Durant has yet to be forgotten as Amare Stoudemire and now Channing Frye wore the Nike KD2. Check out an overview of NBA Feet from the Conference Finals after the jump. via Yahoo!.

The Foot Locker House of Hoops specializes in Player Exclusives and NBA-only colorways, and this Saturday, you’ll be able to get your hands on Carlos Boozer and Pau Gasol’s PEs of the Nike Air Max Hyperize. Boozer wore his pair throughout the Second Round of the Playoffs but Pau Gasol has yet to wear his. In fact, the only players with AM Hyperize PEs who have yet to wear them are still in the Playoffs; Gasol, Amare, and NateRob are still alive in the ‘chip race. You can grab either pair at the House of Hoops so continue reading for a better look.
