Had he grabbed a pair of these, Big Boi never would have had to apologize. They’re not Atlanta Braves-inspired, but since the Hawks redesigned their logo and team colors a couple years back, this Joe Johnson PE of the Nike Air Jordan VIII (8) do the red, white and blue trick quite nicely. These also have a healthy helping of grey around the ankle and heel area to add balance. As with the other crazy Player Editions we have seen, you can grab these only on eBay.

While some sneakerheads have been turning their back on the most popular sneaker of our time, the Nike Air Force 1 has stood as a test of time, and more recently the colors that Nike has released for Women’s have been as good as the Men’s if not better. This new release of the Nike Women’s Air Force 1 comes in a Premium version that uses a Polka Dot patterned patent leather upper in Black and Swan. One of the more interesting treatments we have seen done to the Nike Air Force 1, this will be one of the must have Nike WMNS Air Force 1’s of 2009. Available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers.

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.

While Nike SB will finally be releasing the long awaited Nike Dunk Hi SB Premium “Gucci”, it seems that Nike Sportswear will try and one up their friends in Nike SB with this Nike Dunk Hi Supreme Spark in Team Green, Challenge Red, and Black otherwise known to many as the “Gucci” colorway. While the Nike Dunk SB uses denim as their fabric of choice, this Nike Sportswear Supreme Dunk Hi Spark uses a mixture of Ostritch-like leather and another exoctic leather on the Swoosh. Last but not least to make it even more appealing, the shoe features a Gum outsole. This Nike Dunk features a Nike East Football mascot on the shoe’s insole. Rumor is this shoe is a part of the Nike East vs. West collection that Eddie Cruz and DJ Clark Kent worked on. This Nike Dunk is scheduled to release in October of this year.
