Tonal colorways appear to be quite popular for the soon-to-release Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011. Those five Supreme versions as well as the tonal ‘Think Pink’ received some warm overall reception from our readers, but it’s this tonal volt variety, slated to drop in August (other Asian retailers have begun to release them), truly brings up the electricity by another notch. The vivid volt hue provides an immense spark, but the white solid outsole provides a touch of balance and the metallic silver swoosh throws in a nice pop of contrast. A ‘tennis ball’ nickname may not fit since these don’t have a suede upper, but it’s not like these need any more notice. Check out the extra detailed shots courtesy of ajasuncion of ISS and let us know what you think of this colorway.

Releasing in the Spring 2012 season is this ‘new’ colorway of the Nike SB Dunk Low. Black/Green/Red isn’t anything new, but this upcoming release features a funky new material on the center panel and toebox – somewhat of a ‘woodgrain’ effect. Paired with it is a soft, distressed suede in black, with the swoosh featured white contrast stitching (something along the lines of the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Brut’ that dropped a few years back). In fact, one might consider this colorway repetitive, because this Holiday the Jagermeister Dunk High, which also sports a Black/Green color-up, is very much similar to what we see here. Check out the extra detailed shots below with a close-up of the ‘woodgrain’ material and let us know what you think. via N-SB

UK’s Size? absolutely killed it last year with its 10th Anniversary collaborative releases, but what’s the occasion behind these sick new All Court Mids? Two Size? exclusive colorways in Black and Light Grey with perforated swooshes and tan leather Nike logos on the tongue make up these premium leather All Court Mids. The signature toe-cap and slimmed-down vulcanized midsoles give these the supreme classic design aesthetic, and the suede hell-tab and stripe add just the right splash of contrast. All Court Mid releases are few and far in between, but when they do drop, you can always expect something extra special like these. More images await you below, so take a gander and let us know what you think.

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 in the original ‘Freshwater’ is beginning to filter into retail stores, but if you’ve already had your fix of the Air Griffey Max 1, how about something a little different?

If you’re a Griffey fan, it must be great to have all these options, so if it’s the Air Max JR you’re selecting, check out the extra images below and grab a crispy new pair right now from shaolin8 on eBay.

Swizz Beatz’ collaborations are probably the biggest thing that’s happened to Reebok during their post-Iverson era, Swizzy’s collaborations garnering interest from sneakerheads and casual fans alike. The Grammy-winning producer’s biggest hit with RBK so far has been the resurrected Reebok Kamikaze, a model borrowed from a particularly strong period in the mid ’90s when Reebok had Shaq on its roster and Shawn Kemp was rocking these zig-zaggy midtops. They look thoroughly new thanks to a revised silhouette and colorways tuned to today’s trends, this grey and Feather Blue edition a look that could stand as a reasonable time capsule pick for 2011. Matching hoodies and snapback caps will also hit select RBK retailers this Friday, July 29th, so click through to see more and let us know if you plan to pick up Swizz Beatz’ latest Reebok Kamikaze.

Most of you won’t read this. That’s just the effect of pictures like the one you see above; a scantily clad female wearing a pair of sneakers that are at the very least interesting can easily divert our attention. So, we could have dropped some critical information here and you would have completely missed it, but we won’t do that to you. For those who made it past the first thirty-or-s0 word, congratulations. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming: Here’s another look at the upcoming Air Jordan 2.0 in the grey/gold/black colorway; like the upcoming ‘Gucci’ colorway of the Air Jordan 2.0 (which used a luxurious faux croc-skin on the mudguard), these feature am eye-catching detail (the elephant print) on the already sweet color combination. Perhaps that’s the right way to get our attention on the shoes? More detailed images courtesy of AGS are after the jump so take a look and let us know what you think.

Not long ago Sneaker News showed you the Jordan Alpha Trunner Max in the Black/Green/Red colorway, set for a release this coming August. It will be accompanied by a second colorway of Black/Grey/Gold, which we’ve seen on other Jordan Brand footwear models as well. The Jordan Alpha Trunner Max builds upon last year’s Alpha Trunner model, combining the mesh-uppered breathable shell with the full-length Max Air cushioning. The technology and comfort is there, so how bout the design? With the midfoot stabilizer and sleek toe-cap, the Alpha Trunner Max will have you looking in top shape in either of the two colorways. Check out the extra images below and stay tuned for these to hit Jordan Brand retailers this coming August.

Sneaker News showed you two different Air Jordan XIV Retro samples yesterday that both featured the Chambray shade of blue quite prominently. When compared to the above pictured model, they give you an appreciation of both how differently black and blue are used together these days versus just five or so years ago, and how much shoe designers rely on grey for both balance and just sheer stylishness. The Air Jordan 14 in Light Graphite does the former by serving as something of a middle ground so that the Midnight Navy and black don’t clash against one another, though a few years back we might have expected to see that combo with a Carolina blue upper. Click through to get a good look at some new pics from ShoeWolf. This model is slated for an October 8th release, but you can pre-order yours from King Kickz or just grab a pair right now on eBay.

The Nike Air Max 90 has been Nike Sportswear’s go-to choice of Air Maxes this year. Other Air Max classics like the Air Max 1 and Air Max 95 don’t see many releases, but Nike hasn’t been shy about dropping new 90 joints whenever it can. We’ve already shown you a few great July 2011 Air Max 90 releases like the navy suede and the Orange/Burgundy Autumn season joints, but here’s yet another release in a classic trio of colors – White, Black, and Sport Red. The materials used are leather (tumbled on the swoosh) with white mesh on the toe and ankle. That in itself makes for a pair of 90s worth looking twice at, so be on the lookout for these now at Nike Sportswear retailers like RockPaperScissors or on eBay.

Over the weekend, Jordan Brand launched a Twitter-driven contest called #Follow23, where @jumpman23 challenged its followers with a unique photo assignment in which contest entrants would recreate a classic Michael Jordan moment. The grand prize would be the Air Jordan 2011 Q Flight #Follow23, which we showed you this past Saturday. There are hundreds of classic MJ moments to choose from, and after all the submissions, Jordan Brand has narrowed it down to these five brave souls who took the time to relive some of their favorite MJ moments in history. From the classic Jumpman stance to the famous ‘cupped ball’ dunk, the efforts put out by the five finalists are truly worthy of a round of applause (or in this case, re-tweets). Check out the five finalists below and vote for your favorite at the end, and to get your vote in for the official contest, follow @jumpman23 and RT your favorite your selection!
