Nike Trainer SC 2010   Cool Grey   Anthracite   Volt

The Air Attack Pack models finally hit retail and with all that monochromatic goodness, you’ve gotta be careful not to sleep on these new Nike Trainer SC 2010s.  They’re not a complete departure from the single-toned Air Attack editions, relying on a tonal grey upper comprised of two favorite Nike dark shades: Anthracite and Cool Grey.  Toss in a little neon on the Flywire strands and Max Air cushion and these are another solid look for the summer season.  Grab yours today from Eastbay.

Nike WMNS Dunk Hi Supreme   Pink   Silver

Another strong release for the ladies.  At first what seems to be a hot pink canvas upper turns out to in fact be a textile with silver weaved into the underlay to create a grid-like speckle effect.  A nice accent for a bright summer shoe, especially complimented by the metallic silver Swoosh.  The tonal midsole adds for a clean look, rather than being hit was gratuitous white or some other random tone.  Available now at Wish ATL

Puma Whirlwind II   Royal Blue   White   Gum

Here’s a perfect shoe to rock to a wedding if you’re really into that whole old-new-borrowed-blue thing.  The Puma Whirlwind II initially released in 1980 (old), but it’s been in the vaults pretty much the entire time since then, and we’ve never seen them here on Sneaker News (new).  They come to you in a popular look for this season: two-toned with a white/gum sole (borrowed), and of course, they’re done in a mix of nylon and suede that’s all blue.  Tie the knot at the top of yours after you cop a pair from Britain’s Size?

Nike SB Stefan Janoski   Festive Green   July 2010

If someone mentioned ‘Festive Green’, you’d probably think of St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas trees, or perhaps, ahem, the ‘Skunk’ Nike SB Dunk High that released this April.  Well now it’s likely to be permanently associated with the new Nike SB Stefan Janoski pictured above.  Clean and subtle as ever, these Janoskis go with a lush green suede upper accented by black piping, plus white laces and sole.  As you’ll see in some sample images after the jump, this new version has been changed slightly, so which one would you rather see as a July 2010 release?  via N-SB.org

Jordan Brand   Fall 2010 Footwear Lookbook

School hasn’t even let out yet in most areas, but the Fall 2010 fashion season is right around the corner.  The quarter of a year from July to September is always a hot period with back to school shopping a high priority, and Jordan Brand will certainly earn high marks for their fall footwear collection.

The Air Jordan 1-as-Dunk continues with six new colorways that range from Grape to a classic white/grey/red to the eccentric colorup we showed you along with some Nike Sportswear previews for the same season.  Next up is the Air Jordan 1 Alpha Outdoor in three new colorways, including a laser blue edition that might be the gem of this whole collection.

There are still two Air Jordan IX Retros on the way, with the OG Home joints dropping as will the black Citrus pair.  That’s it for the legacy models and their direct offspring, but the Air Jordan Force Fusion series is back with two different models that might make you rethink your stance on the AJF series.  The Air Jordan Force Vs (AJF 5) appears in an interesting Aqua-meets-Chicago look, while the Obsidian AJF12 makes its case as the single best AJF release ever.

As if that weren’t enough, expect new Jeter Throwbacks, Accolades, Jordan Airs, Alpha Trunners, CP3.IIIs, Flight 9, Jordan V.2 Grown, One6One7, Phly Legend, Pre-Game XT, SC-1, SS, Street Classic, Winterized Spiz’ike, Alpha Float and Hydro VI sandals, and the long awaited return of Vin Baker’s Jordan Pro Strong (whew!).  It sounds like a huge collection, and it is, so check out the entire spread in photos after the jump.  via Complex

Nike Tennis Classic LTD   Air Max 95 Inspired   Black   Grey   Red

Some time ago Sneaker News reported a special pair of the Nike Tennis Classic inspired by the classic Neon Air Max 95 and the women’s white/purple/aqua colorway. It featured a full 3M upper with an upper construction that borrowed design elements from the 95, like the mesh overlay and special lacehoops. Sneaker News found this new black/red/grey colorway of the Air Max 95-inspired Tennis Classic; it’s just a fun twist on an age-old shoe, so if this pair is a definite must-have for your collection, pick up a pair from JBseller on Bay.

Nike Air Max 2010   Unreleased Sample

The Nike Air Max 2009 was easily one of the biggest releases for Nike last year; the sales numbers continue to do well and while other Nikes hit the Factory Outlets at slashed prices, the AM2009 has continued to experience a strong-enough showing to be left on the retail shelves. With the success of the ’09, the recently released Nike Air Max 2010 was highly anticipated but this unreleased and scrapped sample of the Nike Air Max 2010 has us wondering which design is better.

A comparison will prove that the production release and this sample shown here are quite different; the heel-cup remains but the entire front-middle end of the design are almost day and night. The scrapped sample features a mudguard that circumvents the entire shoe and Flywire along each lace-hole, while the the released version opts for a mesh-like toe and a concentrated Flywire Panel. Check out this unreleased scrapped sample of the Nike Air Max 2010 and let us know which design you prefer.

Nike SB   June 2010 Apparel + Accessories

Each month, Nike SB releases a range of clothing and gear to compliment the month’s footwear releases and June presents a bunch of tees to signal that you’ll soon have a whole season to skate in the sun.  The designs range from your classic Nike SB insignia to a fully spelled out look that’s half-calligraphy/half-neon lighting.  If you like people on your t-shirts, you’ve got a choice of Lance Mountain in a whimsical poncho getup, or go with an actual cartoon in the form of two smiley-faced SB riders.  If you happen to have any cash left over, cop the black velcro wallet that’s also available for June, and be sure to check out the whole collection after the jump.

Nike Air Max Tailwind+ 3   Holiday 2010 Preview

Love the honeycomb cushions on the Nike Air Max Tailwind 2010, but need the lightweight support of Flywire-equipped side panels like the Air Max+ 2010?  No problem, thanks to the upcoming Nike Air Max Tailwind+ 3 pictured above.  A slight revision to the first Tailwinds we saw this year, these joints add Flywire strands through the midfoot and replace the Tailwind 2010′s heel counter with a new embossed and texturized cup.  The neon pair pictured above is sure to be a big hit, and there are four other brand new colorways waiting for you to click the jump below.  via NT

Nike Hyperdunk Low   Aaron Brooks Houston Rockets Home + Away PEs

That Aaron Brooks was this year’s NBA Most Improved Player should give you some indication of how surprised we were to see his Nike Basketball PEs so warmly received.  The Nike Hyperdunk Low Aaron Brooks PEs hit retail in the white/red colorway earlier this month, but here are two new HD Lows with his ‘AB0′ insignia.  Both show off the HD Low in its simplest glory, adding a red-outlined Swoosh to the side panel of an otherwise monochromatic design.  The above pictured bred joints are quite impressive, but just wait ’til you see the all-white pair after the jump!
