Sneakerheads will be giving thanks this November, as one of the hottest All Star-type Air Jordan colorways sees a retro release. The Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ is known for its Flint Grey suede sections, but the shoe certainly wouldn’t be complete without its blue triangular ballistic nylon side panels, which get their dimples from MJ’s love of golf. Take a look at another sweet preview video from the fine folks at MarqueeSole, which features a crazy effect where each cut is transitioned by an explosion of Jumpman insignias collapsing to form the outline of the shoe. The full video awaits your click on the jump below and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Air Jordan release dates.

Yesterday, we got a look at Nike Hyperdunk 2010 PEs for Lamar Odom and Chris Bosh (even though Bosh isn’t playing for USA Basketball this summer). Now it’s time to see what the biggest star on the USAB squad’ll be wearing for this year’s FIBA World Championships. Pictured above is Kevin Durant’s Nike Zoom Hyperfuse PE. We’ve seen a special ‘Creamsicle’ makeup for the Hyperfuse with Durant’s ‘kd’ logo on the ankles, but this pair instead echoes the aforementioned HD2K10s with his name in a simple all-caps typeface on the tongue.

The latest Nike Hyperdunk 2010 to hit retail comes to us in that most familiar of all basketball colorways. Since 1985′s introduction of the Air Jordan, black and red have been the Bred and butter of basketball sneakers and this HD 2K10 certainly lives up to the Swoosh’s performance tradition. These aren’t your average black and red kicks, though, with a cracked marble finish on the Flywire-embedded TPU upper reminding us that sneaker technology has come a long way in the last quarter-century. Click the jump below for more images and check for these at Nike Basketball retailers like FinishLine.

Cotton jersey material has shown up more frequently, and even if it doesn’t actually make a sneaker more comfortable, the ‘sweatpants’ look is a soothing aesthetic. Check out the heathered textile uppers on these new Nike WMNS Sweet Classic Highs, both of which feature tonal laces and black leather Swooshes on the side panels. Another unique characteristic of this ‘pack’ is the inclusion of an almost wrist band-like ribbed material on the heel tabs, setting these apart from every other Sweet Classic release thus far. Click the jump below for more shots and grab a pair from select Nike Sportswear retailers like Boston’s Concepts.

If you haven’t had your fill of the Air Attack Pack, you’re in luck; check out this sample of the Nike Air Max Classic in metallic silver and royal blue, set to be a part of the next wave of the Nike Air Attack. This pair features a silver upper with a 3M swoosh and a royal blue midsole. The overall motif of the shoe is reminiscent of the Nike Air Max CMYK Pack from a few years ago but with based on the Air Attack trends, we should expect different colorway motifs of the Air Max Classic (perhaps ponyhair, black faux-denim, or perforated nubuck).
