The Nike Air Max 97 works best with simple colorways, and here’s a women’s colorway that adds to the already significant pile of proofs. These ladies AM97s would have been right at home in the Air Attack Pack with their two-toned design, this pair opting for a shiny white upper atop a sole so blue it looks like the beach of a private island. We’re talking about the ‘Glass Blue’ shade, which recently set off a WMNS Air Max 24/7 to similar success. Expect these at stateside Nike Sportswear retailers soon; Swiss e-tailer Titolo just got theirs.

The Air Jordan 1 High Retro is Jordan Brand’s cornerstone ‘lifestyle’ model, a basketball shoe whose design has so thoroughly permeated fashion that we accept it as an outfit anchor. With a wider range of colorways than pretty much every other JB model, the AJ1 is something like JB’s Dunk or Air Force 1. Here are two new styles for August 2010 that go in completely opposite directions, but with equally satisfying ends. The tonal brown joints with burgundy and lime green hits are a lesson in color theory that feature a cool new scored suede on the underlay, while the tonal grey joints feature quite a bit of nubuck, both perfed and smooth. Check out closeups of both pairs after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on two of the hottest AJ1 High Retros to release in a long while. via CT

On Friday, Sneaker News gave you a look at an interesting pair of the Nike Air Max 1 that featured a solid, traction-less gum sole that looked very much like the signature gum soles seen on Clarks Wallabee shoes. This colorway of Sail (a light beige) matches well with the gum-sole – as does other earthy tones. Gum soles are definitely not a first for the Nike Air Max 1 but it sure is an interesting twist. This is a Fall 2010 Sample so these could possible drop sometime soon so in the meantime, check out the pics after the jump and see how much these babies sold for by checking out the ended auction from langox510x on eBay.

This new colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 High is about as pleasing as you can get – that is, if you’re a fan of the simpler days of the AF1. The upper is colored by Light Bone, which can be described as a cross between off-white and beige, with bubbly polka dots on a Sport Red tongue tag. If the description rings a bell, this AF1 High is an exact reverse colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Sport Red we featured just a few days ago; it features a similar tongue tag with the same perforated-pinstripe graphic on the upper. Simple colorways (and gum soles) rule the AF1 so pick up this recently released colorway now at Size?.
Color: Light Bone/White-Sport Red

It’s been almost two years since Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in what many consider the greatest tennis match of all time. Their match lasted nearly five hours, which also made it the longest final in Wimbledon history (although less than half as long as the new record-holder). If Rafa can endure and it back to the finals this year, he could very well meet Federer, and he’ll be wearing a white version of the above pictured shoe. The Nike Air Max Courtballistec 2.3 pictured above is the same one Nadal wore en route to his fifth French Open title, and features Electric Green in the lava pattern borrowed from Andre Agassi’s Air Tech Challenge II. They frown upon this kind of self-expression at the All England Club, but there’s no better shoe for your summertime tennis needs, and they’re available from StepToRun on eBay.

The latest pack of Nike Dynasty Highs features one of the craziest colorblocking schemes we’ve seen from the Swoosh. And that’s cos this isn’t a traditional Dynasty High colorblock based on the natural lines of the shoes, but rather, a huge spread of multicolored polka dots in shades that might remind you of a ’70s sitcom wardrobe. One pair features purple and black, while the other is pushed toward blue, with both sharing orange, lime green and white accents. Expect these at your local Nike Sportswear retailer soon, they’re up for pre-order at Japan’s Limited Edt.

Filling the gap left by Nike SB’s men’s-only sizing, Nike 6.0 continues to release kicks just for the lovelies. Here’s a new Nike WMNS 6.0 Dunk High that comes to you in an interesting palette. These mix the same Light Liquid Lime shade we just saw on a pair of Air Maxim 1s, but it looks considerably ‘yellower’ thanks to a salmon overlay and University Blue accents. It’s all done in patent leather, but a black contrast stitch helps to ground the whole package. Grab a pair today from NikeStore.

With this new pack of Puma Unlimited EVO His, we wouldn’t blame you if you saw the German cat’s signature stripe upside down. Flip it into a Swoosh shape and you’ve got a pretty Dunk-like shoe here, especially the toebox. There’s also shades of Air Jordans here, with the strap on some pairs evoking the new AJ Alpha 1 Outdoor, and the midfoot eyelets reminiscent of the AJV. But somehow, even in Chicago-style colorways, the sum of these parts manages to have a unique feel of its own, and these should be in stock at Puma retailers soon. via SF
