Jordan Brand is obviously recognized primarily for its unmatched selection of Jordan-inspired footwear, but the brand has been producing some great apparel as well. We’re not talking about hoodies that match the Retro release or Space Jam XI inspired tees, but summer-time button ups, cargo pants, and tasteful urban gear. Check out what Jordan Brand has in store for us this Fall 2010 in terms of clothing and you’ll be pressed to find one item that you’ll turn away from; Great graphic tees (who doesn’t love elephant print?), slick track jackets, stylish backpacks, and a ton more await you. Read on for the entire Jordan Brand Fall 2010 Apparel Line-Up and let us know which items catch your eye.

We’ve seen more than our fair share of black/grey/white Nike Air Max 95 colorways, but the materials used in this latest JD Exclusive pair has rarely been done on the ninety-five. The color-gradient on the upper remains but the upper two “muscle-fibers” feature a faux-denim-like canvas as seen on the Black Denim Nike Air Max 24/7 and Nike Air Max 90 from the gargantuan Air Attack Pack. Many of the JD Exclusives features special materials and graphics not normally seen in other Air Max 95 releases, so this pair lives up to that JD standard. You can pick up this latest 95 release now over at JDSports.

The Air Jordan Force Fusion Experiment was a simple combination of the the classic Nike Air Force 1 and an installment of the Air Jordan Legacy. But at some point, it began to lean a bit far to one side, emphasizing the Jordan more than the Force. This latest Air Jordan Force Fusion VIII maintains the balance and perhaps gives the best portrayal of a Force-Jordan fusion; the Air Force 1 High takes the wheel and it’s the Air Jordan VIII that takes somewhat of a backseat by adding touches that are subtle in comparison to the previous AJF VIII. This colorway features a beach-like combination of birch, khaki, smoke, and firepit red, and will be a Quickstrike release at the Foot Locker House of Hoops on June 10th. Now that there are TWO designs of the Air Jordan Force Fusion VIII, which is better? The one that leans more toward Jordan, or these, that clearly have more of an AF1 inspiration?

Nike Soccer has been receiving some high praise lately for their recently unveiled ‘Write the Future‘ World Cup 2010 campaign, and although the footwear focus has been on the $400 Mercurial Vapor Superfly II cleats, now there’s an alternative for those of us who will only be watching soccer this summer. Nike Sportswear will be releasing a special ‘Write the Future’ edition of the Air Zoom Tiempo, featuring a black leather upper with vibrant hits of pink and yellow and an illustration of Japanese football cartoon Captain Tsubasa on the insole. These will be dropping on June 5th at the NSW Write the Future pop-up shop in Tokyo, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted on a possible U.S. release. Via HB/Honeyee.

What began as two one-sided series have resulted in two great match-ups with the Magic and Suns facing elimnation. Turns out Orlando had some extra tricks on reserve as they took Game 5, forcing the series back to Boston, while the Suns and their momentum were stopped short by Ron Artest’s game-winning tip-in. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII made an appearance (and we’re not talking about that not-so-clandestine rendezvous among LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and JJ), but it was Nate Robinson that had ‘em on. Chinese footwear brand Peak is also getting some good exposure, as Mickael Pietrus, Ron Artest, and Jason Richardson have worn some nice designs of the up-and-coming shoe. With both the Lakers and Celtics holding 3-2 leads in their respective series, do we have a 2008 NBA Finals rematch looming? via Yahoo!.

On the whole, most would probably agree that 2009 was a down year for Air Force 1′s, but there were still a few definite standouts from last year’s AF1 crop. Near the top of that list was the Jones Beach edition, which was dropped in limited quantities at only a handful of select retailers in the Long Island area. Despite the regional theme, there were plenty of sneakerheads outside of Strong Island that were lusting after the super clean summer friendly colorway, and if you’re one of them, we have some good news for you. The Jones Beach AF1 will be re-releasing on June 4th at Extra Butter and other LI shops, but this time the release will spread to some other retailers across the country, so check with your local spot to see if they’re coming your way.

The Nike Trainer 1 Low + Mid iD was Unleashed in the beginning of March, giving eager sneaker customizers the option to add a forefoot strap or even a 360-Air cushioning unit. What was once available exclusively through Nike iD will soon be available for retail, because the Nike Air Max TR1+ Low will release very soon. Combining new-age Nike tech (Flywire, 360 Air) with classic ideas (strap, Air), the Nike Air Max TR1+ Low looks to be the ultimate all-purpose trainer shoe ever created by Nike. Check out this new white colorway after the jump and pre-order yours now from Eastbay.

No, these aren’t Player Exclusives. We’ve covered all of Nike Basketball PEs without cessation but this latest colorway of the Nike Air Max Hyperize could very well be of a Portland Trail Blazer or Chicago Bull, but it’s just a black-and-red shoe that’s just waiting to be used this summer. Nike Basketball seems to run in cycles; Nike Shox ruled the first few years of the decade until Zoom took control, but it looks like Air Max is ready to rule the courts (or some of it at least). Check out this new colorway of the Air Max Hyperize after the jump and pick up your pair at Finishline.
Style: 395721-001
Color: Black/Sport Red-Metallic Silver

Reebok probably wasn’t seeking to emulate Nike with this new release, but if you’ve been around the sneaker game for any length of time, you might find them quite similar to a couple of earlier pairs. The Reebok CL Leather is pictured above in its Rainbow Pack editions, opting for a simple single-colored leather upper and ROY G BIV on the bottoms. There have been a bunch of rainbow kicks, especially for girls, but this ladies-only drop from RBK is sure to have you thinking of Busy P’s 1World Nike Air Force 1 from early 2009. That’s where the similarity ends, as these Reeboks eschew the AF1′s scribbling and make the sole a centerpiece with its unique cushion revealed through translucency. These should hit American RBK retailers soon as they’re available now from Japan’s Bingorunner, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Here are a couple new Nike Air Force 1s that feature one of the most interesting perforation patterns we’ve ever seen. There’s one pair each in Low and High, both of which feature a series of pinstriped perfs that resemble spiderwebs from afar, or perhaps a sketch of raindrops when you’re closer. The lowtops go with a nice charcoal grey and white combo, while a white pair of hightops has red embroidery and a gum sole just like another AF1 High we just previewed. Take a look at more images after the jump and pre-order yours from CrookedTongues today.
