Apart from retro-ing Nike classics from the 80′s and 90′s, Nike has not only brought back the Nike Air Max 1, but added its latest shoe technology to create the Nike Air Maxim 1 ND. This time around, the Air Maxim 1 comes in two colorways: red/white and blue/white. The Maxim’s resemble the Nike Air Max 1 in every way, from fit to form, except for the side panel, which features Nike’s Flywire technology. The Flywire side panel features a printed swoosh as opposed to a typical suede leather swoosh in the respective colors. Both shoes have white midsoles and black outsoles to finish off these Air Maxes. Available this July.

Next up in the Air Jordan Fusion Line which meshes a numbered Air Jordan model with an Air Force One (1) is the Air Jordan Fusion IV (4). Up to now, we have not seen too many detailed pictures of the sneaker, and some key changes have definitely been made since we originally previewed the sneaker earlier in the year. As most sneakerheads can tell by first glance, this AJF4 is inspired by the “Military Blue” Air Jordan IV (4). Featuring a white upper with neutral grey accents and a military blue Air Force 1 sole, this pair is extremely similar to the Air Jordan 4 that released in 2006. The Air Jordan Fusion IV (4) series is set to debut in the coming months, so be sure to stay tuned for updates.

We initially previewed the Air Jordan Fusion IX (9) earlier this year, and we are now getting our first look at the White/Black-University Blue colorway of the AJF9. This colorway obviously takes inspiration from the Powder Blue Air Jordan IX (9) and features a white leather upper accented by a university blue midsole, black laces, and a black tongue. The Air Force One (1) components of the sneaker are visible through the midsole, outsole, and lacetag. The tongue tag reads “The Best of Both Worlds” on the inside and “AJF Jordan” on the outside. The Air Jordan Fusion IX (9) – White/Black-University Blue is set to drop on April 11, 2009 for a retail price of $160. Via FatboyKickz.

The Nike Air Penny III (3) – Black / Black – Varsity Royal released at the end of last year and it is now time for the white based colorway of the classic Air Penny III to release. Featuring a white leather base with blue and black accents seen on the midsole, upper, and inner lining, this pair is extremely reminiscent of the Orlando Magic’s home jerseys. Also coming with the Air Penny logo and a subtle white swoosh on the heel, the classic sneaker is brought back in ’09, and if this pair is a sign of what is come, the future looks quite promising. These are now available at select Nike Basketball retailers.

The Air Jordan VII (7) is definitely one of the most popular Air Jordan models upto date and the 2 colorways shown above will surely remind you of ones that have previously released. We are now seeing pictures that suggest the AJ7 will be receiving the “pack” treatment in 2009 that has become famous because of the Air Jordan Countdown Packs which released throughout the last year. In the upcoming months, Jordan Brand will be releasing “Sixty Plus” Packs commemorating the numerous times Michael Jordan scored 60 or more points in a single game. This pack is made up of two pairs of Air Jordan 7s.  One pair is inspired by the “Raptor” Air Jordan 7 (VII) while the  the other pair takes inspiration from the Orlando Magic, the team MJ scored 64 points against in 1993. You can expect for this pack to release in August of 2009, but be sure to stay tuned for updates and new pictures. Via NT.

The Air Jordan 1 (I) Retro has been released multiple times over the course of the past few months. Some despise of these releases and say that Jordan Brand is ruining their best Air Jordan model by releasing too many colorways; whereas, others see it as a great chance to pick up some old and some new colorways of the sneaker that made Michael Jordan who he is today. This colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High has never been seen before and might come as a shock to some sneakerheads. Due to the full blue fabric upper including blue laces, the white midsole stands out even more and gives this sneaker a fresh, new, and clean look. Another aspect of these new releases that we are seeing more and more of as time goes on is Jordan Brand releasing high-top AJ 1′s instead of the regular mid’s that are we are used to seeing. These will be released on January 1st, 2009 at select Jordan Brand retailers for a retail price of $105.00.
