The old addage “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” clearly applies to ongoing releases of beloved classic sneaker designs, and also in the case of an impeccable palette or blocking pattern. You’ve got a bunch of both with the new Nike Air Max 95 pictured above, a model that perhaps more than any other in history is singularly associated with one particular range of shades. And while this new drop doesn’t go for the OG ‘grey-dient’, they do manage to get a familiar neon punch on the tongue, laces and Air bubbles of this otherwise black ensemble. This is a pattern we saw on last month’s Obsidian and Action Red release, the recent WMNS joints in black and Siren Red, and one more coming up in March dipped in Stealth with Neptune Blue hits. With so much to choose from, will this pair be the one you choose to buy? If so, cop a pair now from Nikestore or footsoldier on eBay.

Despite only being just over a month old, 2012 has already been a pretty a pretty good year for Huarache fans. Of course if you can’t get on board with the hybrid iterations like the Nike Huarache Free Basketball 2012 there’s a little bit less to choose from, but if that’s the case then the Nike Zoom Huarache TR Mid 2 will be your saving grace. The latest colorway we’ve got a look at is this stealthy one, definitely the most understated look we’ve seen for this particular trainer. Follow us after the jump for the full set of angles for this Nike Zoom Huarache TR Mid 2 and grab a pair now from Nikestore if you’re so inclined.

The symbolism of pink ribbons in the fight against breast cancer began in the early ’90s when the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed them out at a New York City charity race, a look that was solidified when the Breast Cancer Research Foundation established the ribbon as its official symbol a couple years later in 1993. That we still see the inverted loop means there’s still work to be done in eradicating this potential threat to your mothers, sisters, wives and friends, and Nike Basketball contributes by both raising awareness and money for the Kay Yow WBCA charity with special releases like this Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer ‘Think Pink’ colorway. Available now on NikeStore in a full mens size run, this Pinkfire Zoom Hyperenforcer will give you a unique on-court look that’ll provide a reminder for curious onlookers of one of humanity’s great modern challenges. Click through to see more of these and let us know how they compare to previous ‘Think Pink’ Nike Basketball releases.

How’s this for an interesting blend: a basketball shoe from a player in Miami designed to commemorate a baseball player’s best years in Seattle, has released in Europe so early in the year pitchers and catchers haven’t even reported yet. And the NBA All-Star Game is still a few weeks away as well, but that doesn’t stop the Nike LeBron 9 from getting a different kind of all-star infusion when the ‘Swingman’ edition rounds the bases with a sick deep ocean colorway in honor of Ken Griffey Jr. The ’Swingman’ LeBron 9 even fits Junior’s looping swing insignia in with the Dunkman heel badge, making for a finished product so smooth it doesn’t even matter if the countries within the NikeStore Europe shipping zone might confuse it for a cricket theme. These will arrive in the States on March 2nd just as spring training begins, so if you can’t wait check with your friends overseas and check out some new images in the meantime.

When we mention sneakers who borrowed their midsole tooling from legendary Air Jordan silhouettes, the Nike Air Yeezy is probably the first to come to mind. And while Kanye’s first collaboration with the Swoosh was so successful that we’re awaiting the sequel, even a superstar record producer can’t move as many units as this throwback to the golden age of both hip-hop and sneaker design. The Nike Air Flight ’89 is back in 2012 after a little while on the shelf, this new black and grey getup the kind of simple yet effective colorway that’s truly timeless and could have just as easily been an OG as a fresh new look for spring. They come on the heels of a bred pair, which leaves the ‘True Blue’ edition and a brand new neon-accented grey pair for later this season, so with all these classically-influenced colorups, will you pick this one up today from NikeStore?

The phrase ‘slimmed-down Barkleys’ doesn’t apply to just the Nike Air Max Barkley, but Charles Barkley himself! The round mound of rebound recently shed 38 lbs. by following the celebrity-endorsed fad diet plan, so it’s quite fitting that the slimmed-down Air Max2 CB ’94 arrives at the same time. Featuring the same infrastructure as the ’94 classic but with lighter, more breathable materials, the Air Max Barkley allows ballers to rock these on the court with an emphasized level of comfort that has been the standard with the super-sleek Hyperdunk/Hyperfuses of today. You can cop this classics PHX Suns colorway right now by heading to Nikestore, but get a better look after the jump.

Hybrids have that unshakable stigma but the Huarache Free 2012 has busted out of the gates to open arms, creating hope for hybrid sneakers that are likely to hit us in the near future. Combining two revolutionary ideas of the previous two decades, the Huarache Free 2012 is entirely functional as a high-performance shoe, but it’s clear that Nike aimed to touch the hearts of those who have been begging for a Air Huarache re-issue. We’ll settle for these now, and with new releases hitting us this season, like the White/Team Red seen here, it’ll be hard for even the most staunch purists to turn away. Nikestore has this simple two-toned colorway available right now, so check out the extra angles below and cop yours today.

A new year means a new collection of Nike Sportswear colorways; for Air Max 1 fans, some great releases have already occured, like the Action Red/Obsidian and Euro Gorge Green joints, but if you’re looking for something for more subdued and understated, check out this Black/Sail colorway. It features a mix of suede synthetic and sport mesh for the classic appeal, but the tonal black says these are more lifestyle than sport. Priced at $100 (more than the current $92 retail price for other Air Max 1s), these un-official Premium grade releases have been available on Nikestore, so don’t miss out!

Coming back out of nowhere is the Nike Zoom Huarache TR Mid 2, landing right in middle of a bit of a Huarache revival coming from the campus out in Beaverton. Things have been strangely quiet for the Nike Zoom Huarache TR Mid 2 despite the wide approval of the first version, and we’re glad to get a few more looks for 2012. In the middle of last year we saw a two-part baseball themed pack, so is this latest colorway playing off the same theme with its Cincinnati Reds look? While there’s no explicit tie-in it’s not too far fetched to imagine this colorway as a late era Griffey tribute, but we’ll let you make the call. Hit the jump for the full photos and grab a pair now at Nikestore.

We’re on the precipice of the arrival of the long awaited Air Jordan X ‘Chicago’ retro release, but before that 1995 original makes its triumphant return, we’ll get our hands on a new colorway from the new-for-2012 update. The Jordan X Autoclave pairs the Ten’s sleek lines with the kind of vulc sole we’ve seen on the Grown series, but adds a novel twist by utilizing a two-toned sidewall to enhance the aggressive ‘bred’ colorup. These were made for casual purposes, but they’re most too bold to just mix into the crowd, and you can grab your pair now at select Jordan Brand retailers and straight from NikeStore and on eBay.
