The Infrared Nike Air Max 90 might be one of the most anticipated releases this summer; however, Nike has not ceased to create some new stunning colorways. Recently, we showed an exclusive White/Total Orange-Blue Air Max 90 that recently dropped online. Today, we have another new colorway that has released at select online retailers.

This pair features a classic Air Max 90 silhouette with white used on all the mesh paneling and black used on leather panels of the upper. A blue tone is used on the plastic lace eyelets, tongue tag, and portions of the midsole. For those not able to snag the Air Max 90 Infrared, would this classic yet eye catching colorway make a suitable replacement?

Nike Air Max 95

Nike is bringing back some CLASSIC Air Max 95s this year including this colorup. Pardon me for not remembering the name of the shade of blue when they dropped in 2002 or 2003, but I have been looking for these for ages. If these sell like the Slates, Comets, and Neons, I might have a chance to get these on discount. Sad to see such great shoes going unnoticed except when I can get them for a lower price .

Nike Air Griffey Max 1

A new Nike Air Griffey Max 1, featuring a metallic platinum/black color scheme, surfaced in select retailers earlier this week. How does the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Metallic Platinum/Black rank amongst previous colorways of this legendary model?

At the end of last week, a new, upcoming Jordan Brand silhouette, dubbed the Jordan 6-17-23, surfaced to many sneaker enthusiast’s surprise. It seemingly possesses design cues from the Air Jordan VI and Air Jordan XVII, two sneakers that add up to ’23′. Despite its inspiration, the execution instantly disgusted many of you and rightfully so. However, what if Jordan Brand combined the design cues of each sneaker involved in 2008′s Air Jordan Countdown Packs to add up to 23? Check out our 10 Hybrids that Add up to 23.

Last week, Kanye West barely lost a Footwear Faceoff to Toronto emcee Drake as both were wearing the Air Jordan 6 Black/Infrared and the Air Jordan 6 White/Infrared, respectively. This week, we put Kanye West in the same shoe against Wale and the black/pink Nike Air Yeezy. Take a look at our Footwear Faceoff to vote on who rocked the best kicks.

Check out some of your favorite celebrities, including Pharrell, Jaden Smith and Miles Austin in our Celebrity Sneaker Stalker.

Who else is anticipating the latest offering from the Air Jordan “Bin 23″ Collection? While we await the official sneaker, take a look at the Air Jordan 13 “Cool Grey” Bin 23 Sample.

The Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8 is a fairly new sneaker, combining several features from an assortment of running shoes. Most recently, we showed you the Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8 in Grey/Black-Red just yesterday.

This particular pair of Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8s features a very clean all white upper, including white laces, tongue, and midsole. An obsidian tone is used on the toe cap, heel cup, and support cage to create a very simple yet classic look to this new hybrid.
