The ‘Knicks’ colorway is drawing quite a bit of attention leading up to next week’s ‘White Cement’ Retro release, but let’s not forget that there are at least two other ‘off’-colored Air Jordan 4s making waves in early 2012. The ‘Voltage Cherry’ joints just dropped last weekend, and coming up alongside the beloved White Cement OGs is this ’Ultraviolet’ Air Jordan IV GS, a model that borrows the original’s blocking pattern but swaps out its neutralized Chicago ‘home’ palette for a more feminine look that’ll be popular with a ton of Miss Sneakerheads. We expect these to hit retailers in mid-April, but will you be getting in on the grade school part of the ‘White Cement’ drop next Saturday? Click through so you can see how this Ultraviolet edition compares and stick with Sneaker News for all the summer 2012 Air Jordan release dates. via TTB

The most recent Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer to make a splash was the ‘Think Pink’ version, a bold breast cancer awareness colorway. This upcoming Hyperenforcer goes the opposite way color wise grabbing just black and white for the upper, but still manages to be unique with the striped look on the various panels of the shoe. The result really shows how far the the black and white approach can be stretched given a little geometric detail, with the patterning not quite reaching Freegums levels but still standing out. Hit the jump for some extra shots of the Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer in black and white. via Kenlu

Many of you are looking forward to the Air Jordan IV ‘Military’ that is set for a release in June, and like Jordan Brand always does, a set of non-Retro sneakers in a similar theme will also drop. Count on this ‘Military Blue’ colorway of the Air Jordan Retro V.1 to hit sometime soon, but don’t confuse it with the patent-leather version that is dropping on February 24th; both share a similar profile, but these do in fact have a slightly different shade of blue and feature suede, not patent leather. We’ve got some additional angles below so take a look and let us know what you think.

The ‘Chlorophyll’ colorway of the original Nike Air Trainer 1 is one that is almost always welcomed by sneakerheads when ported onto other models. This time around we see it make the jump to the Nike Air Classic BW, with the green hits remaining pretty minimal showing up on the Air Max detailing on the heel and outsole. Heck even without the rich background of the colorway, this pair could stand on its own as a pretty versatile model thanks to the grey’d out upper. Follow us after the jump for the full shots of the Nike Air Classic BW ‘Chlorophyll’ and stick with Sneaker News for all your Air Max-related info. via TTB

Even while Nike Sportswear continues to excavate the Beaverton vaults for new-to-you classics, we’ve seen one of the more easily identifyable ’80s basketball silhouettes slip into the ether. The Delta Force just hasn’t been the same since it was nixed by Nike SB, and while we got a flurry of activity during the summer a couple years back, the recent duo of autoclaved updates were the first we’d seen in nearly two years. So now NSW’s going for a(nother) different approach with these familiar lines, something akin to the Air Feather High and Air Force 1 Low Light on this new Nike WMNS Delta Lite Mid Premium silo. These two pairs prove that this is a model ripe for seasonal and thematic additions; just click through to peep the fur-lined Obsidian pair for proof. If you like what you see, these are arriving now at select NSW retailers like Titolo.

Grey tones have been working so well on their own these past few years, why don’t we try infusing a couple into one of the established classics, both in name in stature? These aren’t exactly the beloved Persian Violets that stand out as the Nike Air Classic BW‘s signature colorway, but they do take the same basic colors and pattern, and apply a couple greys through the Big Window’s sweeping elliptical arc. We haven’t yet seen Nike Sportswear create a BW/Air Max 95 mashup, so this is about as close as you’ll get to combining those two icons’ best-known looks; are you glad to see this change or would you be down for another round of Persians? They’re arriving now at European retailers like Burner, and you can see a few more angles after the jump.

The Nike Free technology gets passed around campus on Beaverton quite a bit, being a frequent addition to hybrid models of all sorts. Of course at the end of the day it was built for runners so the majority of the Free-equipped models are going to be just that, like the upcoming Nike Free Haven 3.0. Wearing a bit of a birdcage construction a la the Nike Free Run+ 2, the Haven has a similar potential for killer two toned releases as seen on this black/volt sample. Let us know if you’re anticipating the arrival of the Nike Free Have 3.0 on the comments below and stick with Sneaker News for more shots of upcoming colorways. via Regular Ol Ty

Although the human body has difficulty assimilating energy from the calories in alcohol, the carbohydrate-laden drinks in which its often served and the nutritionally poor choices for munchies many make while imbibing, make drinking and looking fit an almost impossible match. Leave it to a couple of designers at a Singaporean sneaker boutique to crack the code on how to bring fitness and fermentation together, the new Limited Edt x Reebok Workout having been inspired by the Tiger Beer bottle’s aesthetic around the time of the Workout’s 1987 debut. The upper has been enhanced with a gradient that imitates the fizz of carbonation as well as a tiger-striped insole, while the shoe’s colors are a direct match to both the bottle and a special edition box that’s a first for this Workout 25th anniversary capsule. There are still two more pairs to be revealed before the global launch on February 15th, so check out Limited Edt‘s efforts and stick with Sneaker News for more.

Following the full on denim look for the Nike Air Force 1 Low we saw last year, a more trimmed back approach seems to be in order for 2012. You’ll recall the full preview we dropped on you a few months back, a few from which are starting to make their way into retailers as of now. First it was the salmon toned version, and now this Mets looking colorway is the latest to appear. Storm blue on the upper pairs with vivid orange on the swoosh, with the faded denim twiill hits mixing into the paneling to bring on the lifestyle look. Follow us after the jump to get a better feel for the sneaker, and stay tuned for their stateside arrival coming summer 2012.
