If you were going to pick a time to start running (again), the beginning of the year would be the most popular choice, with influences like New Year’s resolutions and the specter of spring break pushing people to shed their wintery blubber. But if there was a second most popular time for people to move forward on adopting a fitter lifestyle it’d be during the warm summer months, and perhaps no single colorway of the Nike Air Max+ 2011 better reflects the energy of the season. This Sonic Yellow Air Max 2011 will turn heads even as you’re training to boost your own visual appeal, and they’re available for the taking now from NikeStore.

We’ll give you a quick second to figure out what’s different in this sample pair of the Air Jordan IV ‘Military’. It’s not as obvious like the True Blue Air Jordan III we showed you not long ago, but if you managed to pinpoint the difference between these and the released version, an extra ‘thumbs up’ for you. As well all know, the Air Jordan IV ‘Military Blue’ was re-released back in September of 2006 (and surprisingly, sat on shelves in some areas). Going back to the topic at hand, this Air Jordan IV sample features what appears to be nubuck material on the heel, whereas the released version uses a plastic-like material. Notice the small area under the ‘armpit’ of the Jumpman logo; other Air Jordan IV Retro releases, like the Cool Greys and even the limited Laser-uppered versions, featured this funky design flaw, so maybe that’s why Jordan Brand decided to go with plastic to eliminate that gap. More images of this sample version await you below, so take a look and hit up the auction from poofyo101jumpmansneakers on eBay.

Nike Hyperfuse x Nike Sportswear has produced some insane new colorways of Nike classics, and thanks to that part metallic, part matte finish of the Hyperfuse materials, the age old sneaker designs take on a whole new personality. Check out this tonal Neutral Grey colorway of the Nike Dunk High Hyperfuse; it seems rather simple at first, but that smooth finish paired with the Fuse-ventilated toebox and upper panel make for a high-tech appeal on a sneaker that’s a quarter-century old. Nikestore just stocked this new colorway so check out the images below for a better look.

Despite a slightly above average frequency for retro releases, the Nike Air Max 2 Trainer ’94 is still something of a sleeper hit in the Nike Sportswear catalog. This means that while many are fawning over classics like the Trainer 1 or the SC series, they might be overlooking the fact that this model can be seen as an essential link in Nike Training’s early to mid-’90s chain. Particularly in this ‘Blackout’ colorway, one gets the sense for the upper’s unique radiating overlay, a design concept you will soon see in its next logical iteration when 1995′s Air Diamond Fury becomes the latest Ken Griffey Jr. retro release. And even before the Diamond Furys hit retail we’re already getting the Trainer 94′s solid midtop silhouette and heel-to-toe Air Max cushioning on new Air Trainer Max 97 colorways, so you’ve gotta give NSW credit for slowly peeling back the layers on their immense treasure trove. Click through to see this simple yet effective colorway and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date, expected this August. via Taobao

The low version of the Nike Air Force 1 is undoubtedly more ubiquitous, but there is something to be said for the mid with its extended ankle support and unique two-part strap. This new retro of the Nike Air Force 1 Mid comes in a palette similar to the classic white on white AF1′s, with the introduction of varying perforations polka dotting the white leathers of the upper. Then there are the deep sections of varsity red that show up the give these some color, found on the laces, side swoosh, outsole, and the Nike Air branding throughout. Follow us after the jump for a more detailed look at this Nike Air Force 1 Mid, which you can cop right now from Finishline.

Supra has been such a high proportion of packs to unnamed releases of late that it’s probably another line entirely, but is it also possible that Supra renamed their spring-launched Royal collection already? The Supra Estate collection for fall offers a similarly regal take on three of the crown brand’s biggest hits, but unlike many of their other looks this summer, each of this trio carries its own colorway. Start with the Supra Skytop ‘MIA’, a black full grain leather model with South Beach-style accents, then move to the insane Society Mid in black TUF with a white grid overlay and finish out the set with a red canvas Cuttler that’s reminiscent of their ‘Heartbreaker’ Skytops from a while back. Click through to see all three pairs but be swift if you want to get a pair because Factory 413 only has a limited run of each model.

Paul Rodriguez’ Nike SB signature line already sees a wider distribution than all of the other Swoosh Skateboarding footwear, apparel and accessories, so it’s a logical choice to see his latest flagship model as SB’s first NIKEiD offering. Get ready to spend hours blocking your favorite color schemes onto the Nike SB P-Rod 5 iD, a relatively simple model that offers a deceptively rich array of customization options. These sample images reveal the range of colors you can expect starting Friday, August 5th on materials including full grain leather, suede, Elephant print and a reflective synthetic. Click through to see a few prototypes and let us know what you have planned for the P-Rod V iD.

We’ll admit, we didn’t expect to see as many LIVESTRONG models what with Lance being off his bike and all, but Nike has recently dropped a couple of new sneakers for the much revered project. The black and yellow colorway is of course immediately recognizable, and there’s also the LIVESTRONG logo on the tongue for the uninformed. This new runner sits on a flexible Nike Free sole, designed to mimic the benefits of barefoot running. Also not to be missed is the breathable mesh that takes the comfort to another level. We’ve got more pictures after the jump, so check them out and grab a pair at Nikestore if you approve…just don’t ask us how to pronounce that name.

Generally the footwear pieces from the Nike ACG line are somewhat hybridized, blurring the lines between sneakers and outwear. Well, the upcoming Nike ACG Air Nevist-6 may the most outright outdoors shoe to come from the line yet, doing away with any design cues from Nike’s basketball or running lineage. The ACG Air Nevist-6 is a tough boot design that hits high on the ankle, coming fully wrapped in a smooth leather. The shoe also features perforated pods towards the back, adding a bit of support for the ankle area. Hit the jump for a full look at both of the debut colorways for the Nike ACG Air Nevist-6, set to release in September, 2011. via Espionage.

Big time snowboard brand Burton is getting together with adidas Originals for a small capsule set to release for Fall/Winter 2011. Among the items featured is the adidas Originals VULC Low KZK, pictured above, which gets its name from Kazuki Kuraishi, the chief designer on this pair. The sneaker comes in a chocolatey brown leather on the upper paired with a pristine white toe-cap and outsole. On the inside the adidas Originals VULC Low KZK features a furry lining, reminiscent of the innards found on the CLOT x Star Wars x adidas Original Skate High. Continue reading for a full look at the shoe, as well a sneak peak at the rest of the items from the Burton x adidas Originals collection.
