The Air Jordan 16.5 Team is one of the smoothest Jordan Brand hybrids yet.  The Air Jordan XVI (16) and Air Jordan XVII (17) designs were similar enough that the combination has a natural feel to it, but because Mike rocked the AJ17s (and a few 16s as well) while playing for Washington, we didn’t see any red-on-black bangers like these during his second comeback.  Make sure they get seen this time around and cop a pair today from FinishLine.

First the Nike Air Flight Condor morphed from a low/mid cut to a hightop and now it’s transitioning from mostly subdued colourways into something more adventurous.  This pair features a few shades of grey, but instead of settling with that like an earlier pair, they add neon greens and bright yellow, plus tonal brown elephant-like print and hits of Carolina blue on the top and bottom eyelets.  It sounds like a mouthful but somehow it all comes togehter quite nicely.  If you’re feelin the funky palette on this nu-retro baller, cop em today from Finish Line.

When the Nike Auto Force 180 came onto the scene a short while back, one of the first colourways we got an extended look at was the New York Knicks (or Mets) pair in blue leather with orange accents.  Since the similarly vulcanized Auto Flight High is getting a Lakers colourup, this Chicago pair has us expecting something autoclaved in green to satisfy the Celtics fans.  But for now, Chi-town is on high, covering this midtop in a variety of leathers and nubuck.  Especially nice is the tonal safari print knap on the nubuck mudguard.  It’s a can’t miss colourway and you can grab yours today from Finish Line.

Nike Blazers have run 2009, so it was only right that the classic basketball sneaker received an update this year.  The Nike Blazer 2K9 is back in another sleek design.  This time, a cool grey upper finds white accents for a look that’s sufficiently subdued so as to let the rest of your wardrobe shine through.  If you’re feelin’ the toned down style, grab these today from Finish Line.

With all the buzz surrounding the upcoming Air Max LeBron VII, a bunch of very nice Zoom LeBron VI Low models are going quietly under the radar. The LeBron VI Low offers quite a bit of versatility, being that it is built for basketball, but has the look of a stylish street shoe. This version takes a simple Black on Black approach, but throws in a variety of materials to add some contrast to the design. There are sections of Black patent, mesh and textured leather, helping to give a nice style boost to the shoe’s appearance. If you are feeling these slick Black kicks, you can find them right now at select Nike retailers, such as FinishLine.

The Air Max 2009 got off to a good start, impressing a lot of people with its sleek design and heavy use of Flywire technology. It will be interesting to see how people respond to this leather version. The shoe still sports the same basic design, but the upper is simplified, using a White on White perforated leather upper with Sport Red accents and a Black outsole and tongue branding. The shoe maintains a similar look to the prior versions by using a stitching pattern on the side of the upper that follows the same design as the crossed Flywire. If you’re feeling the leather look, these have already hit NikeStore and FinishLine and you can get a detailed look at multiple angles of the shoe after the jump.

They’re set to drop in a sick Cobra Commander-inspired edition, probably sometime before the August 7th theater release of G.I. Joe, but the Nike Alpholution’s first run is out now.  An updated take on the classic Nike Air ’Alpha’ Force 1, these joints are available in three colourways that carefully toe the line between outright retro and modern classic.  There’s one each in red/black/white, royal blue/white and black/white/teal.  Each features ‘FRESH’ on the tongue, with ‘RE’ in a different colour, presumably marking Nike’s new ‘REFRESH’ campaign.  Cop any or all of these right now from FinishLine.

If you’re not already familiar with the Nike Air Flight Condor, the shoe was first released earlier this year as an updated lower cut version of the classic Flight ‘89. Now it appears that Nike has taken the design in the opposite direction, turning it into a stylish high-top. The Air Flight Condor High makes some other changes to the design of the upper, and in fact, aside from the midsole and tongue, the shoe bears very little resemblance to the Condor’s original source of influence. The Flight Condor High is already available in two colorways. One sports a white/black/red color scheme with additional sections of grey that appear to be covered by a Elephant print-like texture. The other colorway features a combination of grey/navy and metallic silver, giving it a much bolder look than the other version. If you’re feeling these kicks, both are already in stock now at FinishLine.
