atmos is going to work on yet another Nike silhouette in 2013, apparently not satisfied with having deepened their already classic range of Nike Air Max 1 releases. Shown here are two pairs of the atmos x Nike Free Woven, a set that looks to very much mimic the beastly looks slapped onto their aforementioned 2013 AM1 duo. The pairs do tone things down quite a bit from those looks though, sliding the patterns on to a predominantly black base on each release. See the shoes right after the jump and stay tuned for release info on the atmos x Nike Free Woven set.

The UNDFTD x Nike “Bring Back” pack’s second installment is very nearly here. The two sneakers utilized, the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 and the Nike Dunk High, wear a set of colors that you might find a little bit more in touch with Undefeated’s military vibe than the crispy white of the first duo. The return of the Nike Dunk High is cause for celebration for those who’ve been in this thing long enough to remember ogling the original 2003 joints, and the Nike Hyperdunk serves up a rare slice of collab heat taking place on a contemporary sneaker. See both after the jump and watch for the sneakers in stores this Saturday, May 25th.

The Nike Kobe 8 will soon be transferring over to the lifestyle category with this, an NSW takedown of the shoe. The design strips down the tech in favor of a flat footed silhouette. But whatever value the shoe loses via the bygone basketball capabilities it gains back with that crazy colorful upper. Stay with us through the jump to see on-feet shots of the upcoming “Mexican Blanket” Nike Kobe 8 NSW Lifestyle and tell us in the comments if it’s a sneaker you’re hoping to see rolled out soon.

The Nike Free Inneva Woven is about to get just a bit more earthy. Shown here are the sneakers featuring a bit of suede on the back end, a choice we’ve not seen yet for the crazy new Nike Free design. The pair also bucks the trend of the multi-colored weave that we’ve seen as of late, instead opting for a solid cool grey across those thick criss-crosses that make up the body of the shoe. See some extra angles right after the jump and stay tuned to Sneaker News to find out were you can purchase a pair of this Nike Free Inneva Woven release.

Is it possible that Michael Jordan’s sixth shoe will be back soon enough via this Air Jordan VI “Red Suede”? The sneaker is one with plenty of relatives in the Jordan Brand lineup, from the Air Jordan V “Raging Bull” of old to the upcoming Air Jordan IV release dipped in a similar red look.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Puerto Rico” will release on June 1st, 2013. The sneakers will arrive a little bit before the grand festivities of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, allowing you to show up to that even with some proper footwear. The pair raises the bar pretty high as far as what’s allowed on a retail release for a pair of Uptowns what with its icy sole, baseball stitching, and lasered sections. Continue reading to get a better look at the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Puerto Rico” and watch for them in stores like Social Status soon or see what’s available now on eBay.

Converse is finally back together with Comme des Garcons, this time giving Rei Kawakubo’s streetwear line a handful of Converse Pro Leather silhouettes to work with.

The group consists of four sneakers-a mid and a low for both the milk white and black variations. Continue reading for an official look at the Comme des Garçons PLAY x Converse Pro Leather Collection (Retailing from $130 to $140) and watch for them to hit DSM online and Comme des Garcons in NYC on May 28th.

The Air Jordan IV “Thunder” and Air Jordan IV “Lightning” pairs were a truly unique set of releases from back in August of 2006. The two shoes were up for grabs exclusively at Jumpman23.com, the official Jordan Brand website that’s now home to official images and updates on Jordan product rather than being any sort of digital storefront. Both came with a pretty sizable price tag thanks to some accompanying apparel, marking them among the highest-priced Air Jordan Retro releases ever.
The Air Jordan IV “Lightning” was packaged with an Air Jordan “Flight” style shirt, which sent the retail price up the $250. The Air Jordan IV “Thunder” managed to top even that high point thanks to the varsity jacket included, weighing in at a total of $500. The already chunky box price on the duo helped drive up the secondary market value, a value obviously also helped out by the fairly small production runs (The “Thunder” for example was just 1 of 500). The aforementioned “Thunder” has since gotten a bit easier to track down thanks to the 2012 retro, but the “Lightning” remains a pretty rare find, although rumors of a Retro release continue to tickle us to this day. For the younger hobbyists who are unaware of the story behind the “Thunder and Lightning” Pack, feast your eyes on an incredibly rare set of both pairs from shoezeum on eBay.
