The 2011 edition of the Air Max flagship will feature the uncaged 360 Air from the Air Max 2009 with a super-breathable triple-layer Fuse material on the upper. With the absence of Flywire and complete use of Fuse, Nike is focusing more on the breathable aspect of a running shoe – a requirement of a good running performance shoe. Sneaker News already showed you samples of the Air Max 2011, but here’s a look at an all-new colorway that you can expect for the Summer 2011 season; featuring a black upper with a Chlorine Blue Air bag and translucent outsole, this ‘Air Attack‘-esque colorway also features a neat insole with a graphic from the super-limited Air Max Powerwall collection of 2006. Is this a sign of another Nike Powerwall? That remains to be seen, but for now, take a look at the detailed images after the jump and grab this size 9 sample from dballaholic on eBay.

You might’ve heard about the “ShoeZeum”, a jaw-dropping sneaker collection storage/display/museum from a devoted owner who values his sneaker collection at one million dollars. He’s looking to chop some of his collection down with this one-of-a-kind auction featuring ten Original pairs of the Air Jordan 1 and two Retro releases from 1994. Of the select originals are four pairs of the white/black/red colorway, two pairs of the banned black/red colorway, one each of the black/blue, white/grey, and sample white/metallic black, and two pairs of the Air Jordan AJKO. If you’ve got the money to pony up for this lot of shoes (which, we should add, will come once every two blue moons), check out each of the pairs for sale after the jump and check out the auction from authentic_sneaker_powerseller on eBay.

It’s a point guard’s league again and Chris Paul is largely responsible for the re-emergence of the ’1′ position. Jordan Brand hooked up with Chris Paul a few years back to create a signature line for the scoring/passing/defending point guard, but before they embarked upon that endeavor, Chris Paul was the recipient of some sweet Air Jordan PEs. Take a look at this Air Jordan V PE that dates back to 2006; it features a black upper with Hornets teal and gold providing the necessary accents to the colorway. We last showed you these in early Jaunary of 2007 but they’ve become available once more, so take a look at the extra images after the jump and check out the auction from bugginoutboy on eBay.

LeBron James’ seventh Nike Basketball signature introduced Flywire to the line and marked a switch from Zoom to Max Air cushioning. But did you know the Nike Air Max LeBron VII could have featured another new Swoosh trademark material instead? Check out this crazy AML7 wear test sample that incorporates Hyperfuse synthetics into the most performance oriented ‘NFW’ edition we’ve ever seen. It’s particularly interesting to see this ‘mashup’, cos the Zoom Hyperfuse didn’t hit retail till this summer, about three quarters of a year after the initial LeBron VII colorways dropped. It’s unclear if we could expect further in-Fuse-on in, say, the Nike LeBron 9, or whether its absence in the VII and 8 mean King James simply prefers Flywire (-embedded carbon fiber). What’s your take? Is a Hyperfuse-equipped Air Max LeBron VII better than the released version? If your answer is ‘yes’, be sure to check out the sample available for a short time from 343rebel on eBay.

You might recognized these camel-brown leather-uppered Tokis if you can recall a certain somebody taking his certain talents to a certain beach. Check out these two upcoming colorways of the Nike Toki with soft leather uppers and perforated swooshes, similar to the early 2009 release that LeBron wore during his infamous one-hour Decision special. The broken-in leather look gives the Toki an added lux-lifestyle appeal with stitched reinforcements on the forefoot of the upper and thin, roped laces for an added touch. Both are set to drop in the Summer 2011 season, so take a look after the jump and let us know what you think. via Provider.

Since a particular ‘nickname’ for these have yet to surface, ‘Glass Blue‘ will do for now, despite this colorway being equally dominated by three other colors. You have the silver snake-skin upper, the vibrant yellow swoosh, Kobe Shozoku logo, and rear outsole, and the orange on the inner lining, all of which are neatly detailed in this batch of new images of the Zoom Kobe VI ‘Glass Blue’. There’s certainly a level of fun in this combination of colors – could this be the Kobe VI ‘Carnival’? Take another look after the jump and let us know your ideas of a possible nickname for this upcoming colorway, and stick with Sneaker News for more Kobe VI updates. via Kenlu.

It’s been a part of our lives for a long time, likely even before we got our first baby Air Jordans. Fitting, then, that we’ve seen everything from Saucony kicks that emulate familiar wrappers and Nike Sportswear’s take on cotton candy, to New Balance and Jordan Brand have both seen colorways in honor of rainbow candy bits. This new Converse Oyatsu Slip-On Candy Pack is closest to that last category with nearly photorealistic chocolate and M&M designs printed on their canvas uppers. These aren’t likely to show up in NBA Feet like the Air Jordan II Candy Pack, but could Converse Japan‘s latest be the tastiest dessert-inspired shoe yet?

A couple weeks back, Sneaker News scooped you on a new Nike Air Moc ACG that any reasonable sneakerhead would immediately associate with the Swoosh’s Trash Talk construction. But check out the tessellated uppers on these quilted leather Air Moc ‘Scrap’; these certainly could have been crafted out of the remains of a larger sheet, but to suggest such high quality leather is refuse — perhaps herein lies the meat of what inspired this peculiar design. Pretty high-concept for a two-toned slip-on, but the result is quite impressive and we’ll keep you posted on the upcoming US release. via SF

The Air Jordan 2011 made its unofficial debut in the Jordan Brand ‘Dominate Another Day’ ad campaign, which led up to a Christmas Day unveiling on Dwyane Wade’s feet. Opting for class and luxury over an aggressive, tech-filled design, the Air Jordan 2011 is a shoe fit for the basketball court and for the impeccable wardrope of a top-secret international spy – like Agent D3 in the Dominate Another Day mission. These new images of the white/black colorway shed light on the specific details of the 2011, like the breathable mesh window on the upper ankle, the traction pattern on the outsole, and the molded leather and perforations on the upper. Check out the extra shot after the jump and let us know what you think of the design, and stick with Sneaker News for more Air Jordan 2011 information as it develops. via hoopchina.
