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

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.

Six more weeks of winter might not be what you asked for, but Nike Sportswear is ready to make sure that even if this relatively mild winter extends beyond the average duration, you’ll be prepared for the transition into spring. Check out this new Nike WMNS Blazer Mid Premium in Legacy Red with Champagne accents, a look that regular Sneaker News readers will find familiar. They’re essentially the red version of a blue pair we showed you last week, everything from the simple blocking and molded Swoosh to the floral heel tab and fuzzy sockliner. Seeing a range of colors applied to this simple template reminds us one of the reasons why tonal and monochromatic looks have become so dominant in recent years, and this particular pair is awaiting your purchase at NSW spots like Titolo.

The Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer ‘Think Pink’ is one of those odd sneakers that men have zero qualms about wearing. Not only is the Think Pink collection for a great and worthy cause, the boundaries of sneaker colorways have been stretched to the point where anything goes. These samples of the Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer you see is actually a women’s colorway, featuring an Easter-friendly colorway of pastel tones, but it’s got that zing that would make the male sneakerheads want to rock a pair. You’re in luck, because these samples are a size 10.5 for women, which translates conveniently into a size 9 for men, so if you’ve got that ‘sample’ size, make these yours by testing your bidding acumen on this listing from loco_1979 on eBay.

A trio of tablecloth-like gingham ladies colorways popped up during last year’s dog days, but we haven’t seen any since from Nike Sportswear’s new-for-2011 lifestyle design. The Nike WMNS Hachi will return soon in a makeup that’s unique to the model so far including men’s releases, a heathered black denim-ish twill whose soft grey flecks are echoed by the foxing band and taken to another level by the soft purple laces, heel stripe and outsole. Whether we’ll see these replicated on a different palette remains to be seen, but this particular pair should be out before the end of the spring season, and you can see more up-close images after clicking the jump below. via TTB.

The last Air Max 90 for women Nike Sportswear offered was a continuation of the VacTech collection that’d expanded throughout the fall/winter season, and while this latest edition does indeed echo a design theme we first saw on another model, it’s one that’s strictly ladies-only. The Nike WMNS Air Max 90 is back in a bold Storm Blue leather design whose Swoosh and ankle collar feature the same kind of snakeskin-textured camouflage print we saw on several WMNS Air Force 1 Lows. Given how those AF1s were gradually revealed, it’s not unfathomable to imagine other colorways in a similar style, so click through to see this pair and let us know if these have any 1.5-up potential. via Kicks-crew

If you’ve been keeping in touch with the flow of Nike Air Max 95′s as of late, this set up should be familiar. We’ve seen the blocking in both a volt and action red pair, and this WMNS release continues to kick things up with the flashy accent colors. The pair grabs the so-called siren red, and we see the burning shade cover the lining and drip down the lace placket, showing up on the side swoosh and a bit on bottom as well to tie things together. Are these just flashy enough for your tastes or a bit too blacked out for comfort? Let us know in the comments, and if you like what you see then you can pick them up at spots like Oneness.

If you can’t make bank off distributing other artists’ digital works, why not take a step back and utilize their signature styles for a physical product? Of course, that’s not exactly it went down for Swizz Beatz with MegaUpload, but there is indeed a connection between the DOJ’s post-SOPA takedowns and the Reebok Affili’art Collection. It wasn’t even a week ago that Neil Young was quoted as equating internet distribution with radio, and that kind of broader access to art is exactly what the Jean-Michel Basquiat x Reebok Pump Omni Lite and the rest of the posthumous collabo do for The Radiant Child’s notable works. There are two Omnis (three including the ‘Undiscovered Genius’ joints we showed you last week), one Top Down and a new Freestyle for ladies that make up the spring/summer 2012 set, and you can see all of them in more images after the jump before you grab them from select RBK retailers. via Provider

One of the best of the more understated custom designs we’ve seen on Sneaker News was a ‘Jet Life’ Blazer SB crafted by JBF that celebrated the New York Jets’ AFC Championship run last season, one that just saw its sequel released a couple weeks back. And while the pair pictured above doesn’t have the custom crafted airliner in its heel tab, this Nike WMNS Blazer Mid Premium does indeed have the kind of vintage Jets appeal that’d make Broadway Joe guarantee you’ll buy them. These Blazer Mids for Ladies aren’t a pre-yellowed VNTG release, but rather achieve the classic look by juxtaposing Lush Green and grey suedes, not to mention the old shcool vibe of this silhouette and its vulcanized sole. Click through to see more angles and pre-order yours before they ship from End this March.

The return of the Air Max NM struck the right chord for the baseball x sneaker crossover fans, but here’s something for those who are less Hideo Nomo and more Jennie Finch; this new womens colorway of the Nike Air Max NM comes in a fitting Black/Pink colorway for a vivid punch on an aggressively designed training shoe. February’s already a packed month with sick releases, but if you need more pink kicks for your rotation, the WMNS Air Max NM will hit retailers this month - Oneness is reporting their own in-store release tomorrow, February 4th (expect these in GS, PS, and Toddler sizes as well). Check out the extra angles below and let us know if this is the best Valentine’s Day inspired set of kicks we’ve seen thus far!
