Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 played a major role in last year’s Nike Sportswear Air Attack Pack, which included releases of the 95 in five different mens colorways and three more for women last spring. The Nike WMNS Air Max 95s that dropped during that period were like all of the earliest pairs and the vast majority of the model’s history, in that they opted for a 180-degree Max Air unit in the heel instead of the truncated heel-to-toe style cushion that debuted on the Ninety-Fives. Luckily, this new AM95 in High Voltage does indeed feature the ‘real’ Air bubbles, and with their tonal uppers adding a reflective tier to ensure you’ll be visible day or night, these might just be more attack-ier than the Air Attack joints themselves. Click through to see more angles and pick up your pair today from NikeStore.

If past years were any indication, July’s introduction of a leather bodied Nike Air Max+ 2011 would suggest that the Swoosh is winding down production for this year’s flagship runner with plans to introduce its successor early in the coming year and with a bang. That last part is probably true, but judging by the latest Air Max 2011 to hit retail, it’ll be quite a while before we stop seeing new colorways from this model. And we’re quite happy about that given how well this black and Binary Blue combo came together (wouldn’t be the same without the Volt tongue tag). Click through to see more angles and pick up a pair today from FinishLine.

While many sneakerheads may not think twice about the environmental effects of their hobby, Puma has taken note and opted for an eco-friendly line. That may or may not affect your shopping decisions, but it’s safe to say that this set of suede sneakers from Puma, coming with five new colorways of the Puma Classic Eco, is a nice release regardless. The all suede Pumas shown here come in monochrome, with the solid colors extending all the way to the laces and down the the rubber bottoms. Speaking of the laces, the Puma Classic Eco features some fat ones, a throwback nod the the days when Pumas were the definitive b-boy shoe. Click through the jump for a look at each sneaker from the Puma Classic Eco Suede Pack, all of which are available at spots like Black Rainbow.

Today, Wednesday, July 27th marks exactly 365 days until the opening ceremonies at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and adidas seems to suggest a Mayan future where next year’s games are the last one. Ok, Three Stripes isn’t actually predicting an apocalypse, but rather extending their ‘All In’ marketing push to next year’s summer games with an ‘All 2012′ campaign that started with a very unlikely matchup of 3-on-3 hoops. It started when British triple jumper Phillips Idowu challenged countrymen from the GB basketball squad to a game. He’s mastered jumping in triplicate, but could Idowu possibly match up against three elite basketball players? Let’s just say Phillips held his own thanks to a couple of surprise teammates: West Coast rap representers Warren G and the legendary Snoop Dogg. It’s not totally shocking to see that these cats can ball, or that Idowu does indeed finish off a hop-skip-and-oop, but you’ll still want to click on the jump below to see the video in its entirety. Let us know what you think and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for what’s sure to be one of the biggest Olympic sneaker buildups in history.

With kids headed back to school in about a month, it’s a great time to give them a history lesson with the shoe that sparked a revolution. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High will release in six new colorways this August, and while there remain a few purists who decry the use of the ‘AJ1 as Dunk’, there’s little even the most persuasive skeptic could say to knock this sextet. Jordan Brand colorblocked these identically, each pair adding a single accent shade to a white base. They’re all in leather for that classic look, yet the observant will feel some sense of novelty as well because these are brand new blocking patterns, and not in fact a reproduction of the original multicolor-on-white run of Air Jordan 1s. Click through so you can see more pics and decide which is your favorite and stick with Sneaker News for the US release dates.

Individually, Supreme and Fragment Design are both veterans in the game when it comes to Nike sneaker collaborations, but here we get a look at what happens when all three come together for one project. With the Nike All Court Low as the palette, we see three different colorways, all featuring an all-over print upper displaying the Supreme and Fragment logos in repeating fashion. From these pics, it appears that there are white/red, white/black and black/white versions in the works, but at this point, it’s unclear if all three (or any) will actually release. Take a closer look after the jump and stay tuned for more info on this intriguing development in the world of high-profile sneaker collabs. via tenisufki

Back in 2007, Jordan Brand released the ‘Alpha Omega’ series of Air Jordans which featured select shoes from the legacy with photo graphics on the upper. Truth be told, anytime a photo image is printed on a shoe, we immediately think of ‘customs’, but Jordan Brand released the Alpha Omega Pack anyway in the Air Jordan 1 as well as the Air Jordan XX2. This never-before-released sample features the Air Jordan 1 ‘Alpha’, but without the image of Michael printed on the upper, and instead comes in a simple two-toned colorway of University Blue and White. These would’ve been a great release had it dropped in this form, but clearly Jordan Brand had specific plans for this colorway (and these are too similar to that patent leather colorway that dropped years before). We’ve got additional images of this Air Jordan 1 sample after the jump so take a look and hit up the auction from poofyo101jumpmansneakers on eBay.

Sneaker News unveiled the Battle Of The Customs feature, placing a much deserved spotlight on the great custom sneakers and the talented artists behind them. Our first Battle featured the Air Jordan VI, in which the ‘South Beach’ custom created by Eric Lowry came out on top. The second focused on the Dunk High and eleven outstanding designs, one of which was Diversitile’s ‘Child’s Play’ custom. Our third feature bounces back to signature shoes – the Nike LeBron 8. This tough battle features eight different custom designs from three different artists, so be sure to check out all eight below and vote for your favorite at the very end!

The Nike Air Yeezy (in all three of its colorways) is currently one of the most sought after shoes on the market. The current market value of the Yeezy exceeds the four-figure mark, and the looming hype behind the sophomore release of the Air Yeezy line continues to build day by day. Aside from the three released colorways, a number of samples were made just for Kanye, like the Black/Red and Grey/Red versions that he wore long before the Air Yeezy was ever released. Coolmackjon on the ISS marketplace listed not one, not two, but three different Air Yeezy samples that were worn by Kanye West himself (the rarity reflects his asking price)! The most notable difference between the released version and these samples is the ‘YEEZY’ logo on the heel tab, which is prominently featured on the left shoe. We’ve got a detailed look at all three worn samples below, so take a look and let us know if you like any of these sample colorways more than the ones that actually dropped!

Certain celebrities seem to appear in bunches. Big Sean’s been up on Sneaker News Celebrity Feet fairly often over the last month, as we spotted the G.O.O.D. Music artist in the Air Jordan V Grape two weeks ago and also got a peek into his 25 favorite sneakers of all time. He was recently spotted at Kelly Rowland’s album launch party, wearing the Air Jordan IV ‘Cool Grey’ (a sneaker that wasn’t on his Top 25). You might remember him wearing them during the Hot 97 Summer Jam concert in early June as well. We’ve got more of Big Sean with his female compatriots after the jump so check ‘em out and let us know what you think of Big Sean’s sneaker game!
