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.

Earlier today, we featured the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) – Duke Player Exclusives (PE), and now we are seeing a preview of a new Nike ZKIV made for another university with an elite basketball program. This cardinal and gold colorway is made exclusively for the athletes over at the University of Southern California to rock while attempting to make a run during March Madness. This pair yields the typical Trojans’ colorway of cardinal, gold, and white. Most of the sneaker is coated in cardinal while the swoosh is in gold and the midsole and toebox are in white. It is still under question if these will be released to the public or not, so stay tuned for updates. Via NT.

With March Madness just around the corner, Nike and Kobe Bryant are teaming up to outfit Duke University’s basketball players with their very own Nike Zoom Kobe IV Player Exclusives. Duke players will be receiving a home colorway and an away colorway of the ZKIV so they can look fresh for all their games. The away pair features a black leather base with blue and white accents. The home colorway (seen after the ‘jump’) yields a white upper with blue accents, a black swoosh, and a black heel. Both pairs come with Duke’s signature Iron ‘D’ on the upper heel and are made exclusively for Duke athletes. Via DukeBluePlanet.
