Nike Air Max 90   Sport Red   White   Navy

New colorways of the Nike Air Max 90 are never a bad thing, especially when summer time rolls around. The sunny days mean you can rock them without fear of busting them up, and a pair of shorts is a great combo with this classic 90′s runner. Check out this new colorway in a Sport Red/White/Navy set up, a combination that has some pop to it but doesn’t go overboard on the colors just for the sake of standing out. The contrast of the white and red that hits all over this leather Nike Air Max 90 works really well, making this a super clean shoe from Nike Sportswear. Check out some more pictures after the jump and hit up Sneaker Bistro to grab a pair.

Nike Air Shox Hyperballer   July 2011 Releases

Nike Air + Nike Shox = Nike Air Shox. It’s a simple formula that seems to work just fine, as it was introduced first on a few Nike Runners last year, like the Nike Shox NZ 2.0 that released as part of the Air Attack Pack. Now Air Shox is used for Nike Shox’s long-awaited mainstream return to Nike Basketball, and this July 2011 will be like the early 00′s all over again, when Nike Shox basketball kicks were considered ‘rockable’ thanks to the Shox VC line and other classics like the Shox BB4 and Shox Stunner, among others. Three new colorways of the Nike Air Shox Hyperballer will drop next month – the previously previewed Wolf Grey/Sport Red, a Black/Photo Blue, and a White/Sport Red-Black. More images below, so take a peek and watch for these to hit Nike Basketball retailers next month.

Nike Sportswear Ice Cream Truck

Please ignore the Pavlovian urge to scramble around looking for loose change on your way to run outside and down the street until you find it.  That sound you hear in the video after the jump isn’t coming from your local ice cream man, but rather Nike Sportswear’s ‘Always On’ initiative roaming the streets of New York (NJ plates, though, interestingly enough).  What kind of delicious treats come in an NSW ice cream truck, you might ask?  It’s a good question, and one that will be answered as the Always On Ice Cream Truck makes its runs in the proximity of a variety of prominent parks and events starting this Friday, June 24th and stretching into late August.  Grab a push pop and get comfy, then click through to see the teaser video and stick with Sneaker News to see what kind of goodies might pop up.

Air Jordan 1 3M Dragons Custom by Scoop

The Air Jordan 1 just released with white carbon fiber accents, an all-black edition to follow with even more of this faux performance material.  Another technical synthetic that’s been popular on sneakers in the last decade is reflective 3M, which has grown from accent on hits on runners to the occasional all-over standout like 2009′s ‘Raging Bull’ Air Jordan Vs.  There’s a touch of that luminescent look on Scoop’s Air Jordan 1 ’3M Dragons’ custom design, a model that applies a vicious lizard-like appearance to the bred AJ1 from 2009′s 60+ Points Defining Moments Package.  The best part is, Scoop can make up a pair in any size, so click through to get a closer view and head over to the shopimpeccable custom store to order yours today.

adidas Skateboarding adi Ease   Satellite Blue

Mark Gonzales is one of skateboarding’s true OGs, a guy who’s been kicking and pushing for over a quarter century and remains one of the sport’s luminary figures.  His latest release from adidas Skateboarding has a look so classic it could have just as easily been on his feet during that fateful day at Embarcadero when he was tricked into ollieing a gap so big it now bears his name.  The same cannot be said of the adidas adi Ease‘s model name, though its Satellite Blue silhouette bears the legend’s name in gold on its lateral sides.  Click through for more views and look for these at select adidas Skate accounts like Premier.

Converse Startech LE

The Converse Star Tech debuted all the way back in 1984, its initial colorways endorsed by Larry Bird, Julius Erving and Magic Johnson.  This summer, some twenty-seven years after its introduction, this silhouette will be reborn like so many other classic basketball designs before it.  The Converse Startech LE is set to drop early next month (July 1st, to be exact) with a revamped EVA cupsole and new colorblocking options.  Hanon will have them and reports that there are two tonal black and grey colorups on the way, and you can see more of the first one when you click on the jump below.

Nike Air Max Barkley   White   Royal   Red | Sample on eBay

One way to rejuvenate an old classic is to give it a refreshed point of view. The Air Max2 CB ’94 certainly falls under the category of ‘Classics’, and for Spring 2012, Nike has plans to push it further with the Air Max Barkley, a sneaker previously featured on Sneaker News. Not long ago we showed you the ‘Action Red’ sample of the Air Max Barkley, so here’s a look at a second Spring 2012 release – the White/Old Royal-Gym Red colorway. While not a direct tribute, the White/Royal/Red combination is a throwback to Barkley’s days in Philadelphia, where he spent eight successful years. This sample has popped up long before an actual release, so check out the images below and to get these in for summer, hit up the auction from ginogreen201 on eBay.

Air Jordan V Showcase By Yungdrseuss

We’ll have to wait two more years for the Air Jordan V to turn the magical age of 23, but 2011 is the 21st birthday for Jordan’s fifth shoe – an age that we all consider to be a lifetime milestone.

In fact, here’s a mini-tribute to the Air Jordan V, showcasing some of the biggest retro releases past and present like the yet-to-release Air Jordan V Quai 54, and the 2000 Retro releases that featured ‘Nike Air’ on the heel. Yungdrseuss also has the unreleased Air Jordan V Navy Suede sample that we showed you not long ago, as well as the ‘Grapes‘ and the ‘Tokyo23‘ joints. We’ve got some extra shots for you below so take a peek at some Air Jordan V eye candy and let us know which of the bunch is your favorite.
