Earlier today, Sneaker News showed you a new Air Max Sensation release from Nike Sportswear that imagines what would have happened had Chris Webber stayed with the team who drafted him #1 overall in 1993. That trade that sent Penny Hardaway to Orlando from Golden State is one of the most famous Draft Day trades in history but far from the only one, and now we’ll be getting more of that Kobe-as-a-Hornet flavor as NSW expands on this ‘Draft Lottery’ pack with a new Nike Air Pippen 1. This model Scottie rocked during the 1996-97 season is reborn in a Seattle Supersonics colorway in honor of the Pippen-for-Polynice trade and will arrive at House of Hoops locations on Friday, June 15th. Click through for more images, let us know how these compare to the ‘Orlando’ Air Max Sensation and which pair(s) you’ll grab next week. via KATC

Two of Nike Basketball’s most eccentric designs of the mid-90s was, of course, attributed to Dennis Rodman. The Shake NDestrukt and the Darwin were undoubtedly floating around the outer limits of conventional design, with the Air Darwin featuring the reverse Swoosh, boot-like build, and unique Max Air window (actually a triplet of small blocks). Both Darwin and Shake NDestrukt returned in 2012 with revamped designs, but if you weren’t feeling the grey/orange or grey/cyber colorways of the Air Max Darwin 360, perhaps this new White/Green/Black colorway might be easier to stomach. It is, in fact, closest to the original colorway from ’94, but the Max Air window has changed just a tad, hasn’t it? More shots of this below, so take a look and expect these at Foot Locker House of Hoops locations soon.

The House of Hoops is getting back into the thick of running basketball exclusives, like this Obsidian/Team Orange ‘Auburn’ colorway of the Air Max Barkley that was previewed early last week. This ‘VT’ed out Air Max2 ‘CB ’94 is all about hole ventilations, starting with the trademark dimples on the upper and completed with the microperforated material that surrounds the entire shoe. Add in the form-fitting inner bootie, and you have a sneaker that visually dates back nearly two decades, but would bang with the youngsters with ease (some NBA players have been rocking the Air Max Barkley lately anyway). Peep these new angles courtesy of Asian retailer LTD and check your local House of Hoops for availability, or cop a pair now on eBay.

Much has been made of the Air Jordan IV’s 25th anniversary and the pending retros, but the sneaker with which it shares the most in common has vastly outnumbered the Four in early 2012. So while all the attention given to February’s ‘White Cement’ AJ4 Retro was well deserved, this new Nike Air Flight 89 makes five already for the young year. 1 on 5 isn’t exactly an ideal basketball matchup (even Michael Jordan himself needed guys like Jud Buechler to have his back), but this new Sacramento Kings-leaning Air Flight 89 has those odds seeming just about perfect (until the Military Blue IVs touch down, anyway). Check them out in greater detail after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more info on this House of Hoops release. Photos: LTD

John Calipari and the Nike-represented Kentucky Wildcats captured the National Championship this past Monday, but before the game went down, it appears that some Kentucky-driven promotions were going on in New Orleans! In conjunction with the House of Hoops, a special pop-up section focusing on the Kentucky cause was set-up, featuring a lasering station for white-on-white Air Force 1s and the Kentucky-inspired Dunk Highs and additional displays with camo socks and apparel. This set of Kentucky gear by hardcore Wildcat loyalist Miguel Rodriguez aka TheNational shows just how crazy one can get – eight pairs of UK-lasered Dunks for this guy. Check out some of the goodies that were available at the House of Hoops below and let us know what you think!
