We’ve seen a few Nike Air Force 1s featuring reflective 3M material this summer, but none of them have gone all out like this pair. The latest Uptowns resmble a lowtop version of this year’s NBA All Star Game Quickstrikes sans-branding, but there’s a major difference between their silvery uppers. Whereas the other joints were ‘just’ patent leather, these new AF1s will demand your attention in the right lighting, with their entire upper reflecting whatever brightness shines their way. You can literally stop traffic in these, and they’re available now from select Nike Sportswear retailers like Extra Butter or get yours on eBay.

The last Nike Air Griffey Max 1 release was the Cool Grey/Marina Blue release of February, and that was presumed to be the last of the Griffey Max 1 releases once the first colorway of the Air Griffey Max GD II dropped. However one more colorway was in the works for a June release, a Quickstrike with a Metallic Platinum/Black colorway. This new colorway has a metallic platinum upper with a black midsole, ankle collar, strap, and lace-up construction, and will release later this week with accompanying apparel releasing alongside. With a sweet lefty unasterisked swing combined with an outfield glove like a venus fly trap, Ken Griffey Jr. stands as the only baseball player in history to have a signature line that translated successfully to urban wear. Will this colorway be a proper tribute to Ken Griffey Jr.? Check out the collection of images after the jump and share your thoughts on this latest Griffey release. These will be dropping this week and are already available at Sneakerpolitics.

Here’s a new Nike Zoom Hyperfuse in womens sizes that, while missing the tie-dye pattern that makes some pairs into instant neck-breakers, is sure to cause its fair share of double takes. The one-piece Fuse upper is all-black save a new electric blue aptly dubbed ‘Blustery’, which also appears on the midsole. They’d make a nice match for the New Orleans Hornets’ jerseys, were it not for a Team Red sockliner that has these looking like a bowl of mixed berries. Check out more shots after the jump and check out the US womens size 10.5 sample available from cigar0330 on eBay.

It was confirmed earlier this month that the third installment of the Jordan Brand Bin 23 Collection would take form of the Air Jordan XIII. The white, brown, and rustic red colorway of the Air Jordan XIII (13) Premio fit the bill, as the Bin 23 Collection is inspired by Michael Jordan’s love of fine cigars. However this pair of Air Jordan XIIIs worn by Gentry Humphrey during the Jordan Brand Quai 54 Streetball Tournament, shows a possible scrapped version of the Premio XIII. It features a color combo of white, black, and familiar tones of grey that don’t exactly fit the Bin 23 color standard, but the stamp seen on the tongue proves otherwise. Gentry Humphrey doesn’t mind being seen with mind-blowing Jordans, as he wore an unreleased colorway of the Air Jordan IX during last year’s Quai 54 Tournament. Check out the extra pics after the jump and let us know which Air Jordan XIII colorway is better. Would you cop this Cool Grey Jordan XIII if they released? via TSG.

Here’s a new Nike Air Royalty High whose black leather upper is enhanced by a pattern never before seen on a Swoosh sneaker. It’s kind of a marbled zebra print, with an uneven dark grey material adding embroidery in the shape of the aforementioned animal’s stripes. This wild design defies description, but anyone can see that the lightly tumbled leather on these joints is super soft. Toss in some teal accents and these are probably the best Air Royalty Highs we’ve seen all year, so check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release. via Kinstor

The Jordan V.2 Grown will officially hit Jordan Brand retailers in July, and thus far the impressive colorways and lifestyle-friendly materials has this new Jordan chukka befitting the Grown moniker. This upcoming colorway of a rich navy blue and white features a textured leather upper, adding to the already superb collection of Jordan Growns headed for a release. Premium denim, cargo pants, or some nice slacks would be a great pairing for the Grown and this colorway, so check out the extra shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for release alerts. via HB.

It’s been a few months since we’ve seen another pair, so this new Nike Aina Chukka is a welcome release from the Swoosh’s Sportswear division. You couldn’t ask for a cleaner look, with the only branding on these joints applied as a tonal embroidery script to the tongues. That stitching, like the rest of the entire upper, is done in the sage green shade known as Urban Haze. The upper finds a subtle contrast in the golden brown diamond stripe across this Aina’s midsole, which also matches the vulcanized gum bottoms. A sign of great things to come from NSW’s Fall 2010 lineup, these Aina Chukkas are available from shaolin8 on eBay.

If you’ve fallen for our conditioning experiment, the word “Asics runner” should have you salivating at the mouth like a dog at the thought of a scantily clad woman. Alright, so it wasn’t a Pavlovian experiment, but the last few Asics colorways we’ve seen just happened to be on the feet of some gorgeous women. But this time we’re looking at the just the shoes (and we’re sure the person wearing them is a dude); this new Asics Gel Lyte III colorway of lavender, a citrus orange, and white features a summery mix of refreshing sherbet colors. Check out the images after the jump and watch for these to hit Asics retailers soon. via shoes-up.

Original colorways of shoes from ‘back then’ are usually the first to fly off the shelves but new colorways tend to be hit or miss. Over the last 3-4 years when Nike was re-releasing in mass amounts almost every popular 90′s basketball and running shoe, we’ve seen some interesting color combos that were either instant hits or destined for the clearance racks. Some colors simply don’t work (hint: light green and neon pink on an Air Trainer Max ’94 or an Air Jordan VIII in brown and pink). But for a shoe like the Nike Air Pippen 1, it’s the beautiful design of the shoe that owns the spotlight, and it doesn’t hurt that the white-orange colorway is pretty darn nice. These are available for purchase at Foot Locker online right now, but you can also grab a pair on eBay.
