With Nike well on their way to taking over the outfitting contracts for the NFL, you can expect the realm of Football related PE’s to get a lot deeper in the future. A quick taste of that was the Nike 2012 Pro Bowl Pack, a trio of trainers that didn’t find their way onto the field of Aloha Stadium but were quite a treat for the involved players nonetheless. With the Nike Trainer 1.3 Max Breathe, the Nike Free Trainer 5.0, and a slick colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse all included, it was the kind of pack that likely would have been snapped up pretty quickly in the event of a retail release. And while that didn’t go down you still have a chance at grabbing a pair, as the full set is up for grabs on eBay now. Hit the jump for the shots of them and check out the auctions from zoomkobepe on eBay.

What would happen if you took the Nike Air Max 90‘s best known colorway and toned down the intensity on the black and red sections? The first answer that comes to mind upon seeing this new pair is “Another beautiful AM90″, but let’s be more specific about what they’re bringing to the table. This is one of many Ninetys this spring done up with the beloved ‘Infrared’ OG blocking pattern, and just like the other releases that’re more widely available, these opt for a shift on the mudguard rather than the OG black (Dark Shadow grey, in this case). This in combination with a more conventional red than the Infra- variety gives these a fresh but familiar feel, but the only way you’ll ever have them in your hands them is to get in touch with JD Sports.

The last Air Max 90 for women Nike Sportswear offered was a continuation of the VacTech collection that’d expanded throughout the fall/winter season, and while this latest edition does indeed echo a design theme we first saw on another model, it’s one that’s strictly ladies-only. The Nike WMNS Air Max 90 is back in a bold Storm Blue leather design whose Swoosh and ankle collar feature the same kind of snakeskin-textured camouflage print we saw on several WMNS Air Force 1 Lows. Given how those AF1s were gradually revealed, it’s not unfathomable to imagine other colorways in a similar style, so click through to see this pair and let us know if these have any 1.5-up potential. via Kicks-crew

Originally wrapped in suede and mesh, the Air Max 90 hits us again in 2012 in two new lifestyle-friendly builds comprised of full canvas uppers. The Obsidian pair is matched with the cool University Blue, while the Black pair attacks with a grey secondary unit for a two-toned punch that’ll have any Air Max 90 fan weak at the knees. Along with the Air Max 1, the Air Max 90 has become the go-to source of sport-heritage lifestyle sneakers, and with an onslaught of sick releases like these, it’ll continue to own that role for as long as Nike stays relevant (estimated to be forever). Check out the individual shots below and check your Nike Sportswear retailer soon as these have hit Euro spot Chmielna20.

Excited for the Pro Bowl? All-Star festivities in all sports are always a great fan-draw, but if you’re a Giants or a Patriots fan, don’t expect your team’s Pro Bowl selections to get any action, because they need to be well-rested and healthy for the game that really counts – the Superbowl. Not long ago, Sneaker News showed you the Nike 2012 Pro Bowl Pack, which featured the Nike Trainer 1.3 Max Breathe, the Nike Free Trainer 5.0, and the Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse; all three feature the a sick ‘FTBL Maximus Athleta’ labeling around the shoe, the 01.29.12 date stitched into the inner lining, and a special graphic of the state of Hawaii on the soles of the Air Max 90 Hyperfuse and Free Trainer 5.0. Check out the detailed gallery of the entire set below and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more information and updates on this sick season’s-end pack of Nike footwear. via NK.

When it comes to the Nike Air Max 90, it’s hard to argue that the most popular look for this classic runner is anything but the OG one. We’re all familiar with the beauty of the black mudguard and bright white mesh with a nice color pop thrown in there-but sometimes you need something a bit cleaner. Enter the Nike Air Max 90 Premium in white leather, a sneaker whose counterpart popped up a few weeks back. The star of the show here is the upgraded material selection, namely the white leather that comes with a tumbled look for a more luxurious feel. The shot above shows off the tumbled treament, but you’re gonna want to check the rest of after the jump, trust us. No word yet on a US release but these can be had now via Caliroots’ online presence.

The Nike Air Max 90 is a sneaker that has long been removed from its original context as a runner, enjoying a seemingly endless lifespan in the retro realm. So while this upcoming colorway is apparently a lacrosse-tailored combo, we can expect the sneaker to again be lifted from context as heads grab at this colorful pair. Along with the Easter-y palette for the uppers, the lining comes with a smart looking argyle print to cement the ‘Sunday best’ look. The preppy combo seems to stand in opposition to the rough and tumble nature of Lacrosse, perhaps giving players a chance to show off their gentler side off of the field. Follow us after the jump for some extra shots at this crossover release from Nike Lacrosse, which will apparently be available primarily at spots specializing in LAX gear. via IL

Nike Sportswear seems to be toning down the palette of the Nike Air Max 90 more and more with their continued retro releases. A look through the recent colorways sees the brightest of pairs left on the cutting room floor, with the ones that showed up at retail opting for exciting materials rather than popping colors to carry them. The latest, shown here in a bit of a stealth colorway, again keeps the color to a minimum with a mixture of blacks and whites on the upper. Are you feeling the more laid back look or are you thirsty for more colorful pairs? Let us know in the comments and pick these up from Shelta if you’re in the former category.

The original tag line for the debut of the Nike Air Max 1 was “Nike Air is not shoe”. Twenty-five years later, that notion holds true, because Air Max – aside from its performance value – has driven the sneaker game into collector madness with its classics taking the spotlight front and center. Many will confess to owning multiple pairs of Air Max 1s, 90s, and 95s, but let’s not forget that Air Max went beyond the confines or running and into training and basketball, creating its own legacy within each individual sport. Of course, there were the cult-classics along the way, like the nylon-uppered Air Max Deluxe and the ‘Spidermans’ in the Air Max 120 in the running sector, the Speed Turf Max, which will make a triumphant return later this year, and the LeBron 9, which continues to popularize Air Max in the sport of basketball that had been previously dominated by Zoom. Complex just put together a list of the 25 best Air Maxes of all-time, so see if you can guess which came up at number 1!

Thanks to the wonders of eBay, the last few weeks have given us a good look at the Nike Air Max 90 designs that have been left on the cutting room floor. Here’s another entry into that category, a primarily black pair that grabs a gang of different materials for the upper. The mudguard gets a shiny leather with a cross hatched look, coming as a contrast to the inconspicuous black nubuck right above it. On top of that the sneaker is treated with a patent leather swoosh in the namesake blue glow, a playful color that also shows up on the tongue tag. Are you glad these got the axe or would you cop at retail? Let us know in the comments and be sure to check out the auction from identitiesrevealed on eBay.
