Last year Sneaker News gave you a detailed preview of an interesting pair of the Nike Air Max 1 that featured Nike’s latest Hyperfuse technology on the upper. Turns out, Nike had bigger plans for Hyperfuse than using it for performance models. Nike has chosen to Fuse out some of the biggest names in the Nike Sportswear heritage, like the Air Force 1 High, Air Max 90, and Dunk High. Those are set to release sometime in the Fall 2011 season, but the Nike Sportswear Hyperfuse collection has officially arrived as this new colorway of the Nike Air Max 1 Fuse has just become available at Nikestore. If you’re still not sold on the NSW x Hyperfuse hybridization, check out these new images below and let us know if you’d consider copping one of these releases.

Jay-Z’s got enough money stashed in his bank accounts to afford himself every Air Jordan ever made, but it’s clear that the Brooklyn-native has a clear favorite. Jay-Z was spotted once again wearing the Air Jordan III Retro from the 2008 Collezione Package – the Black/Cement Grey colorway that Michael won his first NBA All-Star Game MVP trophy in. He was spotted dining in New York City on Friday night, enjoying a casual meal based on his dressed-down attire (can’t get any simpler with Jordans, jeans, and a t-shirt). Check out Jay-Z in his Air Jordans below and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet updates! via bossip.

Pictured above is one of those legendary models that needs absolutely no introduction, an all-time classic that still commands double takes two decades after its initial release.  The Air Jordan V Retro in black with Metallic Silver trim is just like recent IIIs and IVs in its execution, a faithful reproduction of the 1990 original save the absent heel Swoosh that’s been replaced by a Jumpman.  These will likely be among the most popular back-to-school releases with their proximity to the upcoming year, yet another feather in the cap of a silhouette that’s been immortalized by countless celebrity appearances.  Click through to see some new angles on this black nubuck beauty and stick with Sneaker News for the exact release date.  via in52
