Last year brought us a ton of Safari’d Nike Air Max 1s celebrating their peer the Safari 87, and here’s a look at another AM1 that borrows from that wild spirit. All Conditions Gear rose to prominence in the early 1990s, running through the same rocky trails that gave the Safari it’s signature pebbles. Here’s an Air Max 1 that comes full-circle by incorporating the ACG triangle logo on the heels and tongue tags of a dope white and tonal blue palette. Check out more shots after the jump so you can imagine these with white or yellow laces and if you need to have em before they hit stores, look for the sample from cigar0330 on eBay.

It’s been a fairly slow month of July, hasn’t it? Compared to the last few months, the month of July has been considerably tame compared to the one-Jordan-a-Saturday releases. But summer is about spending time with your family and your friends while wearing summer-time canvas tennis shoes, but a Jordan shoe is welcome here and there. The fourth Air Jordan II release of 2010 comes in the University Blue and Black colorway, which holds its own in terms of unique colorways and design elements. This colorway is definitely a first but so is the Jordan branding on the heel and the full-length “Ice” sole. If you’ve been waiting for a Jordan fix, these will hit Jordan Brand retailers on the 31st, the final day of the month. Check out the the extra shots after the jump and if you need them now, you can grab a pair for under retail from JBseller on eBay.

Here comes another new hightop from Jordan Brand with those unmistakable Air Jordan aesthetics. The Air Jordan Hoop TR ’97 is pictured above in one of the simplest colorways you could imagine: white with black and royal blue accent hits. It’s a versatile mix that’ll compliment a wide variety of outfits, while the swooping design manages to evoke the familiar ‘JB’ look and keep a unique quality all its own. Check out more shots including the AJIII-like sole after the jump, then peep the sample available from cigar0330 on eBay.

Last week’s preview of the Nike Air LunarMax+ 90 marked the first time we’ve seen LunarLon and Max Air combined, and while the Lunar Air 180 was a step in the right direction, it’s time to wrap Max Air in Lunar foam! Here’s our first look at the upcoming Nike Lunarmax Vortex, a sleek runner in line with the smooth stylings that have marked the Lunar running series. These are different than all the rest with a heel-wrapping Max Air unit smack dab in the middle of a red Lunarlon midsole, all of which looks great next to the black upper. Check out more shots after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release; a sample just popped up from cigar0330 on eBay.

Here’s a new basketball shoe from Jordan Brand that’s totally awesome, baby! Named after the Dickie-V-ism for ‘prime time player’, the Air Jordan PTP’er is super scintillating sensational with its uniquely ‘JB’ style that manages to escape from being ‘just’ another hybrid. There are definitely familiar elements here, like how the rear midsole rises similarly to the Air Jordan VI or how the encircled Jumpman logo above it is reminiscent of the AJXIII ‘Playoffs’, but even though these sport the ‘Concord’ shade made famous on the Elevens, these PTP’ers have their own unique look. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on the Jordan PTP’er and check out the sample from cigar0330 on eBay.

In late May Nike made public a “tweet” in which the Sportswear camp teased us with a mysterious message. ”In a few days we will share something the world has never felt before.” Many of our readers had their guesses and in February 2011, it appears the one of the more popular hypotheses will become a near-truth. Here’s a look at the Air Jordan 6 Rings ‘Foamposite’; taken after the famous Dark Neon Royal colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite One, this Six Rings features the same Orlando Magic upper colorway featuring a lustrous royal blue on the mudguard and midsole. The tag on this sample pair states the blue color as Varsity Royal, but an official catalog calls it ‘Dark Neon Royal’, which we all know comes from the Penny Foamposite One.
However, whether or not the upper material is in Foamposite is yet to be determined, but a tentative $160 price-tag would be considerably low for a shoe of this magnitude – an actual Foamposite x Jordan shoe would probably achieve a higher price – making actual Foam material less likely. What is certain is the Penny Foam One inspiration behind the colorway and construction, which could possibly lead to more Air Jordans taking on the identity of popular Nikes of the past (maybe more Nike Penny x Air Jordan colorways?). This surely is an interesting development so continue reading for a detailed look and expect these to arrive in February 2011, or buy a sample pair of the Air Jordan 6 Rings ‘Foamposite’ available now from cigar0330 on eBay.

The upcoming Nike Hyperdunk 2010 Highlighter Pack features a bright pink pair, but here’s another HD2K10 that’s possibly even more vibrant. Featuring an explosively rosy shade known as ‘Pinkfire II’, the ‘Think Pink’ Hyperdunk 2010 will have plenty of dudes pulling a Cam’Ron when they hit retailers early next year. These truly are among the most impressive metallic colorways we’ve ever seen, and although pretty much no teams could pull them off as a real uniform match, it’s reassuring to know they’re supporting the respected Kay Yow WBCA Cancer Fund. Check out more shots after the jump and if you’re interested, scoop up the sample in US men’s size 9 from cigar0330 on eBay.

The Air Jordan 1 has become the everyday lifestyle shoe of Jordan Brand, with a ton of different colorways available. Regardless of the vast number of colorways that have released for men, women, and kids, the OG Air Jordan 1 will still break necks and stands as the ultimate Jordan collector’s item. This new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High previewed in the Jordan Brand Fall 2010 Lookbook features a mix of grey tones like Dark Charcoal, Stealth, and Light Graphite with a Team Red trim on the midsole stitching and Jumpman branding. These will officially release next month in August but you can grab a pair early from JBSeller on eBay.

The rabbit is a popular pick when it comes to humanoid animals depicted on the big screen. Take for example Bugs Bunny, who enjoys carrots as much as he does cutting wit, or the bumbling White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland (probably one of the trippiest story-plots ever written). The rabbit is used once again as the main graphic of the Vans Vault Carrot Pack, which features the Sk8-Hi LX and Era LX; you’ll a rabbit dressed sharply in a green tuxedo jacket and a purple bowtie munching on the root veggie. These are set to drop at Vans Vault retailers later this month so check out the Vans Era version after the jump. via HS.

The Phoenix Suns as we’ve come to know and love them over the past few years officially ended when Amare’ Stoudemire signed with the New York Knicks earlier this month. Basketball in the desert will never be the same, but with Hakim Warrick signing on, Steve Nash will have another athletic forward to whom he can toss crazy oops. And he’ll probably end up doing so in this first Nike Hyperdunk 2010 Low to be revealed, which are among the cleanest HD2K10s we’ve seen. Sporting an all-white upper with a black Swoosh, these joints add just a touch of orange on the ‘FLYWIRE’ script, while purple on the tongue and sockliner complete the Suns motif. Check out more shots after the jump and if you can’t wait till these drop in the near future, grab the sample available from cigar0330 on eBay.
