Considering that it’s not a Retro or a signature model, the warm reception that has been given to the Nike Air Jordan Flight 45 so far must be a very pleasant surprise for Jordan Brand. We have shown you numerous upcoming colorways of this shoe lately and most people seem to be feeling them. The latest version keeps it pretty simple, using a nice clean white upper with a black tongue, lining and outsole and a black midsole section that is covered with white speckles. While this colorway may be a little more conservative than some of the others, it still has a nice look to it and it seems to fit in nicely within the accepted Jordan aesthetic. Like several of the other Nike Air Jordan Flight 45 colorways that we’ve previewed, you can get these early from MarqueeSole.

Nike will be releasing this upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium as a part of the Fall 2009 Collection from Nike Sportswear. While the colorway is simple, White upper and Gum outsole, it’s the pattern stitched on the upper that makes this White Air Force 1 so appealing. We are dubbing this Nike Air Force 1 Low the “Un Michael Lau” due to the astounding resemblance to the Nike Air Force 1 x Michael Lau 1World “Crazy”. The upper of this Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium “Un Michael Lau” features a intricate woven pattern that looks similar to the one used on the Nike Air Force 1 “Michael Lau”. The Gum outsole used on this Nike Air Force 1 should be well received by a number of Nike Air Force 1 fans as that is something that is always asked for. Look for these to drop soon at select Nike Sportswear retailers.

The third installment of the ongoing Nike Air Yeezy saga is almost upon us. After the first two Air Yeezy colorways created such chaos in the sneaker world, there is no reason to believe that the third version won’t do the same or worse. If you consider how many desperate sneakerheads out there missed out on the first two, despite their best efforts, you’d better believe that they will be working even harder for these. The Nike Air Yeezy “Net/Net”, which is actually tan with pink and dark grey accents has begun to arrive at select Nike retailers and the lines are forming already in anticipation. With its patent leather strap and glow-in-the-dark touches, the third Nike Air Yeezy colorway will be an extremely hot commodity when it drops, and has in fact already begun to pop up on eBay for some ridiculous prices. Stay tuned for additional release info.

It’s pretty rare to see a 17 year old never-before-seen Nike Air Jordan sample emerge, but it appears that’s exactly what you’re looking at. These insane Nike Air Jordan VII’s are a 1 of 1 look-see sample from 1992 that never saw the light of day until now. They have been authenticated as 100% legit and with the exception of a little aging, they are still looking incredible. The kicks feature a white tumbled leather upper with sections of purple suede and have additional red and teal accents on the midsole and heel. It’s a shame that this colorway was never released, but perhaps now that these pics have surfaced, Jordan Brand will decide to make up for lost time and put them into production. If you are as intrigued as we were, you can see a bunch more images of these stunners after checking the link.

To help celebrate Sole Collector’s 5th anniversary, Nike Sportswear created a very special colorway of the Nike Air Penny II to mark the occasion. The kicks have been colored up in a scheme that represents the original Sole Collector Forum. The Nike Air Penny II is looking super-crisp in a striking Black/Anthracite/Volt colorway and will likely breed tons of jealousy from those who wish they could get their hands on a pair. Unfortunately, these were only made for members of the Sole Collector team and will not be released for retail, so you will just have to admire the pics unless someone at Sole Collector decides to put them on eBay, but that seems unlikely at this point.

While there was already a midtop version of the same model named after the city, surely Beijing is big enough for more than one Dunk. The Nike Dunk SB Low “Beijing” appears in an eye-catching mix of teal, purple and red with a few grey touches. The teal suede overlay features some interesting patterning, while the Swoosh’s red contrast stitching and a translucent outsole complete the look. These are limited and sure to rut out fast, so act quickly and cop them now from Univ.

If you thought the Nike Air Jordan 60+ (Plus) was growing on you before, just wait until you see the newest colorway. Those who already loved its mashup design will also be impressed by the new white and red edition pictured above. Nearly the whole shoe is white, save for bright red accents on areas like the Air Jordan V (5) sharkstooth, heel ribbing and rear quarter/wing underlay from the Air Jordan II (2), and the Nike Air Jordan VI’s (6) lacelock. Put all of this atop a translucent outsole and there’s no wonder why this shoe is being released to commemorate Mike’s greatest individual performances. OSneaker had a few sample pairs, but they sold out already, so take a look and get excited for their release.
