What a solid year it’s been for the Nike Air Trainer. Not only did the original colorways of the Nike Air Trainer SC II High release, but Nike Sportswear decided to bring back another 90′s era Nike Trainer – the oft-overlooked Nike Air Trainer Max ’96. It featured Max Air cushioning on the heel as well as in the forefoot, with an rugged, beefy construction on the upper made to protect your precious feet during those intense training sessions. We’ve got an extra shot of these Retros below, so get your pair of these nostalgic retro trainers from the mid-90′s from Atlanta’s WISH, or sang a pair while they’re hot on eBay.

The Nike Air Max JR is a sneaker that feels futuristic regardless of the colorway, thanks to the updated look provided by the 360 Max Air unit on bottom. However, if there is anything than can give a shoe even more of a high-tech feel it’s the 3M treatment. Displayed properly on the preview we gave you here, these will give off an unmistakable glow under the right lightning. And at all other times you can rock them as a clean cool grey-esque colorway. Check out the full photos on this pair of Nike Air Max JR’s after the jump and mark them on your calender as just one of many must haves for Black Friday.

Could this be the perfect storm for wintertime sleeper releases? The Puma 2nd Round is sufficiently obscure that most, even among the sneakerhead community, wouldn’t be able to call it out by name. Its shape, on the other hand, is quite a standout, a unique super-high silhouette whose chunkiness is limited to the rear so they have a much slimmer look over most of the vamp. Add in Gore-Tex waterproofing and a dope geometrical pattern and these almost look the part of a sick pair of ski boots shrunken into sneaker form. Click through so you can see a full 360-degree look at multiple angles and stick with Sneaker News for the growing avalanche of winter-ready releases. via 43einhalb.

If those monthly CCS catalogs represent the extent of your exposure to the skateboarding world, you might not know that french label Cliché Skateboards has been sliding and grinding for nearly fifteen years now. The name is one of a scant few words with identical meanings in English and French, and some of this postmodern self-awareness has manifested itself in the look of this new collaboration with San Francisco’s most famous skate brand. The Huf x Cliché collection includes the HUF Hufnagel Pro in grey suede with yellow trim and a white sole, a colorway that along with a bit of black, describes the deck, 5-panel cap and run of tee shirts that round out the capsule. If you’ve ever wondered what it’d look like to see one of the Golden Gate Bridge’s towers gone Eiffel, click through and check em out.

The tumbled look is a key part of Nike SB’s holiday 2011 footwear lineup. It started during when one of fall’s final releases, the ‘Un-Supreme’ Dunk Mid SB, utilized a pronounced grey tumbled leather in lieu of Elephant print and will extend into a pair of Lows with this hightop rounding out the family. The Nike SB Dunk High has rarely looked earthier than this pair whose black leather Swoosh makes the underlay look downright weathered. They’ll be a solid go-to look for the cold weather months, so check back with Sneaker News for the US release date and if you’d like to have this sample and five other right-shoe-onlys, check out the auction from retrozpekt on eBay.

The Jordan Brand Holiday 2011 season will officially kick off with the release of the Air Jordan XIV in the all-new Light Graphite/Midnight Navy-Black-White colorway. As you already know, the Air Jordan XIV was the last Air Jordan worn by Michael Jordan (the Chicago Bulls version), capping off the greatest single-team tenure in professional sports history. It was in the Air Jordan XIV that Michael sank the ‘clutchest’ jumper in NBA Playoff history, resulting in his sixth straight NBA Championship in six full NBA seasons. There certainly is some history tied to this model, and the new colorway only adds a splash of fresh air to this reborn classic. You can expect these at Jordan Brand retailers next Saturday, October 8th at Jordan Brand retailers like Millenium Shoes, or pick up a pair right now on eBay.

There are so many dope colorways on tap for the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP; could the very first one to hit retail in November turn out to be the best of the bunch? The darker shade cast by Binary Blue Foamposite on the Air Go LWP-shaped silhouette isn’t quite like any of the Air Penny blues or the OG Dark Neon Royal Foamposite One, which helps the Zoom Rookie feel connected to the Penny legacy while instantly signifying that this is something entirely new. Click through so you can see some new images of this clear-and-carbon soled retro basketball hybrid from Nike Sportswear and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their availability. via in52

The Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay is one of those shoes that may not sound great on paper, with the combo of LunarLon soles and a boot-styled silhouette probably not making much sense to the uninitiated. But once you see them, it all comes together. Debuted in 2010, the Nike ACG Lunar MacLeay is the perfect middle ground between the rugged Nike ACG line and their offerings for the running crowd. We’ve got an inside look at two new colorways of this boot hybrid, which both stick to the ACG approach of utilizing an earthy tone for the base of the shoe, then injecting some pop with a more vivid shade. Check out the full pictures of the olive/yellow and the black/pink colorways after the jump and hit up Crooked Tongues to lock them down ahead of their October release.

Circle your calendars for Thursday, November 3rd for a possible on-court debut of the Nike LeBron 9 in the Home White/Black-Sport Red colorway. Of course, the NBA would need to start as scheduled, but with just over a month to go, nothing has been settled yet. In any case, here’s a detailed look at the Nike LeBron 9 in the Home/Scarface colorway; the upper features alternate blocking of the three included colors, with the red Flywire on the forefoot and the white toe and the black weaved ‘island’ on the sidewall providing a nice contrast to the White-based upper. These are slated for a release on November 4th, so let’s hope the NBA season starts in time for this highly-anticipated release. More detailed viewings are available right after the jump so take a good look and let us know what you think. via sevens/ult.

Given that the word ‘Aztec’ itself is something of a loose identifier used to describe a variety of 14th-16th century Mexican ethnic groups, it seems fitting that the Nike Sportswear collection inspired by their signature aesthetics seems to be growing organically and without a concrete limit. The latest addition to NSW’s Aztec Pack is this new Nike Dunk Low that offers a slightly different take on the same Ironstone, Grain and Imperial Blue palette we just saw on an Air Max 1 release. The key difference, silouhette aside, is the use of a blue Swoosh on these instead of beige on the AM1s, a shift that has these feeling a bit more vibrant than the comparatively earthy ’87. Click through so you can see these closer, let us know if they’re the best Aztec Pack design yet and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release date. via Dunk
