Did you cop your Cool Grey XII or one of the three sick ‘What The Max’ releases this past Saturday? If Nikestore is your sole shopping center for soles, you probably missed out because Nikestore postponed its Saturday releases to an undisclosed date. Nikestore has just updated that those big-ticket items will all release this Thursday at a random time – you just need to follow Nikestore to catch the their direct link on that day. Keep this info in mind if you’re still looking for the Jordans or one the Air Maxes.

Its two-toned stripe pattern led to some calling these ‘Seersucker’, but that name only hints at the style unveiled on this new Nike Air Max 90 for women. This pair is cast in more of a smooth canvas than the puckered cotton that typically defines those wider-than-pin stripes, so perhaps we should just take a hint from the superlative in its color code and just appreciate this one for its utterly unique style. Palest Purple and white stripes top a white/gum sole for a look that screams ‘spring’; can you picture yourself rocking these throughout the warm months now that they’ve dropped at Nike Sportswear retailers like Oneness?

The words “What the…” are typically followed by a four-letter expletive, but in tomorrow’s case, that word will be anchored at three as the Nike Air Max ‘What The Max’ gets ready for a retail release at select Nike Sportswear retailers. These have already hit shops in Asia a few weeks back, so by now the buzz surrounding this trio is at the perfect height for you to cash in on because we haven’t seen a dedicated set of Air Max releases in such a dazzling rainbow of colorways. Air Max 90 Hyperfuse, 2012, or 95 360 – you can’t go wrong with any one of the three, but you will go wrong by sleeping on these for too long, so be sure to be at your local NSW shop like WEST NYC tomorrow (note: Nikestore has delayed its release to the near future but all other locations will release on schedule), or cop ‘em now on eBay.

This year’s flagship is a performance-oriented world-beater, the Air Max 1 is celebrating its 25th anniversary and plenty of more obscure classics have come out of the Nike Sportswear vault in recent months, but can any of those lines match the energy behind the Air Max 95 family right now? Not only are new colorways consistently hitting retailers, but we saw got both No-Sew and Hyperfuse-constructed pairs debut a short while back. The latter of those, Nike Air Max+ (95) 360 is such a perfect progression from the original that even hardened purists can find merit in the new gradients its synthetic upper makes possible. This white and grey edition is a prime example of which you can see more images below, then be sure to check back with Sneaker News for updates as we approach the June 7th drop date.

Back on Valentine’s Day, Sneaker News showed you the first of two tonal, canvas-covered Nike Air Max 90s that’d arrived at European retailers. Those have yet to arrive here in the States, but young sneakerheads will soon have their chance at something similar in the pair pictured above. This Air Max 90 for kids stops short of the all-over canvas look, instead applying it to the toe and ankle of a design that mixes in equal amounts of grainy leather and suede. The effect of this blend in conjunction with the Midnight Navy and Soar color palette is of a deep ocean dive, the kind of look you’ll find perfect for summer at Nike Sporstwear stockists like Mr. R.

It’s common practice for a sneaker to go by two different names, and so the previously dubbed ‘Olympic’ Pack now has an official Nike-appointed name – the Nike Sportswear Air Max ‘What The Max’ Pack. The ‘What The-’ alludes to a hybrid of sorts like the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘What The Dunk’, but the ‘What The Max’ merely ties in bold neon colors in the layered Hyperfuse construction to give all three sneakers involved a chaotic (yet controlled) appeal. The entire Nike Air Max ‘What The Max’ Collection has already hit retailers in Japan, but stay tuned for a global release this month. Detailed shots below, so take a look and let us know which of the three you like best, and stay tuned because there’s another member of this ‘What The’ Hyperfuse collection that’ll be revealed very soon!

NFL front offices have been planning for months for the 2012 NFL Draft, selecting just the right players to fill the needs of their respective rosters, yet they have the luxury of making snap decisions at the last moment. While those trades and changes of heart don’t exactly derail any future plans of a team, it’s not so much with the case with sneakers, because these days, if you pass on a pair of sneakers, you will have missed out forever. This Sunday, April 29th, Nike will release the Nike x NFL Draft Pack, consisting of eight different models for the eight Divisions in the NFL, with each group featuring team-oriented colorways. This is the ultimate test of team allegiance – will your break territorial lines and cop a pair of sneakers representing one a rival of your favorite team? These are set to release on Sunday at select Nike retailers (21 Mercer in NYC has some in stock already) so take one last look at the entire set below and let us know which is your favorite
