The original Black/Grey/Volt colorway of the Nike Air Max 95 has been copied over to countless other Nike models over the last seventeen years, but like how a suit is tailored to one distinct person, so does Black/Grey/Volt fit perfectly for the Air Max 95. Even when the colorway is slightly reshuffled, it still looks amazing, and this Black/Volt colorway which has been previewed on Sneaker News before has garnered some positive reaction (and rightfully so). Sometimes there’s more than what meets the eye. Take a look closer at this new Nike Air Max 90 release and you’ll see a pristing faux croc-skin on the mudguard, contrasting perfectly with the smooth flat black leather on the upper. Slotted in amongst all the OG colorways coming out for the Air Jordan V this year is this pair. The sneakers have been dubbed the Air Jordan V “Bel-Air” and feature what appears to be a wolf grey tone across the upper.
To commemorate the opening of Jordan Tokyo23, a Jordan Brand central hub with a focus on the Japanese market, Jordan Brand released a special colorway of the Air Jordan V in Yellow, Black, Silver, and White. This limited release just dropped over the weekend at select Japanese Jordan Brand retailers, leaving those outside of the country with very little chance to own a pair for the retail price. From one variation on a 2009 version of a 1985-born original to another, we move from the Air Jordan 1 in cleat form to a Nike SB Dunk that, by name alone, has already been done. ?The?’Gucci’ Nike SB Dunk High?dropped just under two years ago ?with the alternate nickname ‘RESN’ taken from a Girl Skateboarding rider’s graffiti tag. With sneakers being designed so far ahead of their release, it was impossible to predict all the potential future obstacles when developing the successor to the LeBron 7. Even if he had known, Jason probably wouldn’t have done a thing different.
?They’d get a ‘Nuggets’ tag, too, were Melo still with Denver, and either way you go, a grey-based Jay with blue hits is so wardrobe-friendly, these are shaping up to be a sleeper hit during the ‘Olympic’ Air Jordan summer. ?Check out more photos below and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the third quarter release date. You didn’t think Ewing Athletics was going to leave us hanging with just those two initial colorways for the newly retro’d Ewing 33 Hi did you? Also on the way are two more versions, again going with the similar approach of one caught up in the Knicks color scheme and one more doing its own thing. Also like the first two, the material selections are split down the middle, with suede for the former and leather for the latter, just like on the OG editions. The Lakers have been on a roll since Kobe took home MVP honors at the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, winning twelve of thirteen and moving full steam ahead with all the momentum in the world. Even a tw0-game suspension for starting center Andrew Bynum didn’t slow them down, and with twelve games to go, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers will do whatever they can to earn the top seed in the West.
