In its 20th anniversary year, the Nike Air Max 90 has seen a wide range of colorways. We got a faithful retro of the immortal Infrared colorway and the OG Laser Blues are on the way soon, so how about another vintage colorway? These are among the best Nineties you’ll find, but unfortunately for those with larger feet, these joints are a WMNS release, with the biggest size 12 equating to a US men’s 10.5. Availability concerns aside, this mix of white, grey, Asian Concord and Laser Pink is all at once similar to the OG Air 180 and its own unique palette, and they’re available now from NikeStore.
Style: 325213-105

Last week Sneaker News showed you a sample pair of the upcoming Nike Air PR1, a life-style shoe that featured a hybrid between the Nike Air Pressure upper and the midsole of the Air Jordan III. The Air Pressure originally released in 1989 and came housed in an oversized box, and returns in sleeker, slimmed down form. The original version featured a pump accessory on the heel, allowing the shoe to inflate – but the shoe itself was extremely heavy. That apparatus has been removed and the lace-placket also features a simpler construction as well. Remaining is the rubberized strap, which can be pivoted backwards for those who don’t wish to use it. This new colorway features a tonal black upper and midsole and just hit EastBay for pre-order, with a ship date this Friday, September 24th, so take another look after the jump and expect these at Nike Sportswear accounts soon.

After a whirlwind of LeBron-related free-agency news and shoe previews, the buzz around LeBron James seems to have quieted down; the only thing left to do at this point is to twiddle our thumbs and wait for the Akron native to make his debut in South Beach. For the fans who have stayed loyal to LeBron or have embraced his arrival in Miami, we now have concrete release dates for the Nike Air Max LeBron VIII; the Black/White-Varsity Red, All-Black, USA, and a Varsity Royal/Total Orange-White colorway are all confirmed for late October and early November. While the first three colorways have been previewed before, the last mentioned colorway of royal/orange/white has yet to surface. LeBron is no longer a Cavalier so it being a Hardwood Classic colorway doesn’t match up, and it surely isn’t a Knicks colorway. Continue reading for a complete list of release dates for these four colorways and let us know which pair you have your eye on. via NikeLeBron.

With two colorways on tap for the Holiday 2010 season, the Air Jordan Force Fusion X stands as Jordan Brand’s Q4 ’10′s AJF offering. Perhaps the more eagerly anticipated colorway is the ‘Steel’ pair pictured above, a faithful reproduction of 1994′s original. These joints’ colorblocking is spot-on, but the feature sure to draw praise from purists is the inclusion of the Steel AJX’s checkerboard sockliner. The Ten’s signature striped outsole is also worked into the traditional AF1 traction pattern to maximize the ‘Best of Both Worlds’ cache, and they’ll be available at select JB retailers including Foot Locker in just a couple of weeks: Saturday, October 9th.

It’s clear that the Nike Griffey Line is getting the Nike Penny treatment; every shoe, multiple colorways…hybrid shoe? A Griffey hybrid made up of multiple sig models seems probable but here’s a look at a hybrid that uses the Air Griffey Max 1; the Nike Air Max JR, debuting in Summer 2011, features the Air Griffey Max 1 silhouette but features lightweight Torch material on the upper and 360 Max Air running unit (not a basketball-specific unit). Quite strange for a mid-cut shoe to feature the running-specific Max Air cushioning unit – would you go running in a mid-cut shoe? Three colorways we can surely expect is black/red, white/chlorine blue-grey, and one with a Volt Air unit with grey trim and a blue/grey mudguard. Gone is the ankle-strap from the Air Griffey Max 1 as well. So what’s the verdict? Take a look at the three colorways after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more info regarding this upcoming shoe, and let us know what you think of the Griffey-hybrid design. via deftronic.

Carmelo Anthony was a member of the 2008 ‘Redeem Team’, a name given to the Olympic Squad after Team USA came home with a disappointing Bronze medal in the 2004 Olympic Games. It was particularly sweet for Carmelo to win on the biggest stage of International sports as he was part of that ’04 Team – and during Team USA’a Gold Medal run in 2008, a special Player Exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan V was made for Anthony, who is a Jordan Brand representative. The colorway features a simple white, midnight navy, and metallic silver with the Team USA logo on the insole, an American flag on the inner tongue, and ’8/8/08′ – the date that marked the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics – instead of the usual ‘Air Jordan’ seen of the Jordan V. Just 24 pairs of this promo sample are believed to be produced so this deadstock pair is truly a collectors item for those who call themselves Jordan-collector aficionados. Continue reading for a gallery of images of this rare Air Jordan V PE for Carmelo and check out the auction from jlalo37 on eBay.

Not long ago, Sneaker News gave you a look at the Black/Varsity Royal pair of the Nike Air Griffey Max GD II and many of our readers were happy with the colorway. The GD II didn’t exactly meet the sales figures of the Air Griffey Max 1 but these new tonal-black uppered colorways should give these a boost. Take a look this new colorway of the Air Griffey Max GD II in Black and Electric Green; very Dunkman-esque, but perhaps an all-new nickname could be made for Griffey – perhaps a ‘Swingman’ colorway. As mentioned before, this upcoming pair features a tonal black upper with an electric green Air Unit and bottom sole. Without a doubt one of the better colorways of the GD II (as stated by our readers when we first caught a glimpse of a sample pair of the ‘Dunkman’ Griffey II), so take a look at the images after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for release info.

Lance Armstrong stated before the race even began that the 2010 Tour de France would be his last, and while his cycling career may be over, Mellow Johnny will continue to ride for an even bigger goal. A new sneaker whose proceeds will benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research, the LIVESTRONG x Nike Blazer Low ’09 for women is among the best LAF releases we’ve seen all year. They’re like many of the recent drops in that these don’t feature the classic black/yellow LIVESTRONG palette, but adding select yellow hits to a grey and white base makes for a versatile look you can wear with plenty of different fits. Check out more shots after the jump and grab a pair today from NikeStore.

In mid-August Sneaker News showed you a Foot Locker EU exclusive colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 in a white, grey, black, purple, neon green, and hot red colorway. The partnership between Nike and Foot Locker also featured three notable football (soccer for you Americans) stars and one the coolest sneaker-related vids you’ll ever see. Here’s another look at this Euro-exclusive Foot Locker x Nike Air Max 90 with snapshots taken on a number of scenic backdrops; the colorway seems to mesh and become one with the vibrant colors of the landscape and buildings in ever shot. Continue reading for a nice gallery of images and while there has been no information regarding a U.S. release, stick with Sneaker News for potential release info. via suelasdegoma.
