Ladies still have the lead in the race for most Nike Air Max 1 Vintage colorways, and that margin will widen in the middle of March with this new revelation arriving at retail. The womens Air Max 1 VNTG pictured above is another fine example of this three-way split template that has worked so beautifully with a variety of palettes both tonal and contrasting. These opt for a the Hyper and Blue Lightning shades as paired with Sail, and the Medium Brown Gum outsole drives home the classic look. They should hit select Nike Sportswear locations on Wednesday, March 20th and you can see more images below in the meantime.

In our popular Michael Jordan Through The Years ongoing feature, Sneaker News spent one week focusing on all the sick shoes that Jordan wore on his feet – shoes that were not Air Jordans. Being a signature Nike athlete meant Michael was spotted wearing a random selection of shoes, like the Air Huarache runner pictured above whilst posing with his hardware, but before writing his name down in ink, Jordan had other brands on his feet – mostly Converse during his college days and even adidas, a brand that pushed really hard to sign the guy back in the mid-80′s. Check out some of the notables below and head to Complex for the full list.

Having built a strong foundation on the initial ‘suede and Sail’ pairings, Nike Sportswear’s Vintage Blazer series has experimented with more colors, blocking patterns and materials of late. This is one of the more expressive to date, a Nike Blazer Mid ’77 Premium VNTG in black leather with Poison Green Swooshes. That alone would be among the more overly eye-catching from this lineage, but then they added the multicolor zig-zag heel tab and that makes them really stand out. Expect these at select NSW retailers in mid-March and click through for more images in the meantime.

While Jordan Brand is definitely going in on the Air Jordan 1 and bringing back the original colorways for that groundbreaking first signature sneaker for MJ, the colorway range for the 1 is so deep that we’d imagine it’s gonna be a long time before all the originals see the light of day once again. One that doesn’t appear to be on the schedule in the near future is the clean black and white version on display here that skips out on the full Bulls equation thanks to the lack of red. Get all the angles on this OG Air Jordan 1 right after the jump and buy yours now from jordanvault on eBay.

As far as numbers go on the original Air Jordan V, you already know that this particular colorway came in its OG form without the #23 embroidery along the side. The pairs that did have said detail were the Michael Jordan PE versions, like the autographed one that’s up for grabs in this auction. Making them all the rarer is the interesting 40/100 designation that shows up on the box and on the inside of the tongue (Apparently all 100 of the range were produced in MJ’s size 13). Continue reading for a look at this crazy pair of numbered, autographed, original Air Jordan Vs and chime in on the comments below if you’re familiar with the backstory. Also, add this rarity to your collection right now courtesy of phatbat on eBay.

Sneaker News revisited five Nike Tennis classics during our special Classics Revisited week, and while we have plans to go back to that iconic category, we can’t help but show you one of the craziest unreleased samples we’ve ever seen. This particular silhouette is the Nike Air Challenge LWP from the Agassi line, which featured the new LWP cushioning system (that would later be named ‘Zoom’). This sample clearly shows a different midsole with a Max Air unit on the heel, giving this classic a different spin (on the OG Black/Teal colorway). Check out this rare look of the Air Challenge LWP in Air Max form and see the entire listing from identitiesrevealed on eBay.

After a brief respite following 2012′s various 25th anniversary celebratory measures, the Nike Air Safari returns with a new Vintage colorway. The first VNTG Air Safaris since July, this one comes in Classic Stone and Anthracite, and while the color names and box label suggest these are antique, there’s no sign of pre-yellowing, abrasions or other obvious signs pointing to that suffix. It is indeed a timeless color combo as you’ll see in more photos after the jump, but stick with Sneaker News to make sure you’re aware promptly when they release this May.
