Nothing in 2011 has come close to the sheer expanse of last year’s Nike Sportswear Air Attack Pack, but here’s a new release from one of this year’s signature collections that would have fit that group nicely. The Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse is pictured above in a womens colorway that matches an all black upper and midsole to a Bold Berry outsole. It’s a subtly high contrast look that’s enough to draw a select few head turns without taking over your entire outfit. Click through to see more angles and pick these up before they see a wider release courtesy of Kicks-crew.

Max Schaaf’s contribution to society shouldn’t be overlooked. He’s a guy who seamlessly blends several decades of masculine aesthetics into a timeless walking history of rebellious dudes, keeping alive some of the lessons that could be all but forgotten in today’s fast-twitch media cycle. Schaaf’s latest collaboration with Vans Syndicate celebrates his hometown and the 4Q Conditioning shop he runs there, this Vans Mountain Edition Asym chock full of details. This is how a collabo should be done, ladies and gentlemen, as Max has managed to sneak in his company’s name and a crane instead of a mountain for this ‘Oakland Edition’, all while giving us another look at the Asymmetrical Mountain Edt. he created a couple years back. Click through to get some more angles on this blacked out design and grab yours from select Off the Wall retailers like Flatspot.

The New Balance ‘Where Are You Running To Next’ project puts a spotlight on today’s most successful and influential DJs, extracting insight from these big cats about the world of spinning and, of course, sneakers.

All three vids are after the jump and check out what each of their favorite New Balance kicks are!

While these were never technically ‘banned’ by the league, the Air Jordan 1 in Black/Royal was part of rebellious and revolutionary Air Jordan 1 original line of colorways. Considering all the Air Jordan 1 colorways that have released since the AJ1 first debuted in nearly three decades ago, the OG Black/Royal colorway hasn’t popped its head out much, with its most recent Retro release back in 2001 when it came accompanied with a metal Jumpman hangtag and were limited to 50,000 pairs. Another retro release hasn’t been confirmed any-time soon (although the six new Air Jordan 1 colorways hitting stores in August will alleviate that pain), but here we have a look at an OG pair of the Black/Royal Air Jordan 1 High. Check out the gallery of images below and hit up the auction from poofyo101jumpmansneakers on eBay.

Sneakerhead culture has expanded in part due to the growing array of limited edition releases that allow early adopters to be the first and perhaps only person on the block with a certain fresh pair. This demand for unique designs has also led to an expansion in the custom sneaker scene, where new high-quality handiworks are becoming so common Sneaker News has brought you a few ‘battles’ comparing the best in recent weeks. Would Ecentrik Artistry‘s ‘Tropical Sunset’ Nike Air Force 1 Low customs have what it takes to compete with the best of those? This custom Uptown offers its own take on ‘South Beach’ with a colorway closer to the ‘Orange County’ Zoom Kobe VI depicting a oceanside skyline complete with palm trees, sea gulls and a setting sun. Click through to see more and let us know how you feel about the Air Force 1 ‘Tropical Sunset’ custom. via PaintOrThread

Liberty of London’s latest collaboration with Nike Sportswear has been considerably larger than in previous years. Both in terms of the number of releases and the chunk of calendar it’s taking to get them all to retail, this new Liberty x NSW pack tops all earlier efforts, and a new batch has just hit Nike Harajuku in Tokyo. We’ll start our look at this new trio with the Nike WMNS Dunk High Skinny, which features the same almost Dalek-like pattern as the Blazer Lows that also just arrived. There’s one more Blazer to complete the set, a Mid in a bright swooping design that was also a part of an AF1 Low, and you can see all of them by clicking on the jump below.

The Nike Hachi is a brand new model from Nike Sportswear, but something about its construction feels vaguely familiar. Maybe it’s the Blazer like silhouette, or the classic vulcanized outsole, or the retro mixture of suede and nylon. Either way this new lifestyle sneaker from Nike is a hit, a clean and versatile design with minimal branding thanks to the perforated outline of a swoosh. Check out this simple black and white colorway, a no frills combo that gives the Nike Hachi that much more range. Hit the jump for some more photos of this Nike Hachi, which is available now from id4shoes on eBay.

On Monday, Sneaker News showed you a new pair of Match Classic Premiums that come in the earthy Pony shade of leather and though no photos have become available, another pair will come along in the equally organic but slightly greener Iguana. The same kinda thing is happening with this new Nike Zoom Match Classic pictured above, a nappy grey suede design that adds olive green to the sockliner and a unique two-toned foxing band (note that the aforementioned leather pairs eschew obvious foxing altogether). Whether that double band appears on the black pair set to join these remains to be seen, so click through to see more of this rough grey suede Zoom Match Classic and stick with Sneaker News for updates including the US release date. via Tenisfuki
