Air Jordan 1 Retro High – White/Vivid Pink/Neutral Grey
Seems that the Air Jordan 1 Retro High is always popping up in some sort of new colorway and while there is definitely no shortage of the sneaker its great to see that a crisp new colorway is being unleashed for the ladies.
The sneakers have been spotted in a great White/Vivid Pink-Neutral Grey colorway that places a semi equal importance on the materials as it does the color usage. The upper is made of Neutral Grey suede and white leather in both pebbled and grain. Vivid Pink is also used on the upper’s swoosh, stitching and branding.
Nike Dunk Hi SB – Venom
The Nike Dunk High Pro SB – Venom (Black / White) are inspired by one of Spider Man’s enemies from the Marvel Comics, Venom.

They sport a predominantly black colorway constructed from leather and suede along with white accents. Simplicity is definitely a highlight of the shoe, but it’s the story behind them that gets attention from fanatics. The good news is that they’ve re-released to select Nike SB accounts.

This is just a rumor for now but apparently they are supposed to drop around July. We would love to see these get the double box treatment and can’t wait for further confirmation.
Nike Air Zoom Barcelona Sample
The Nike Air Zoom Barcelona is something like a beefed up Nike Air Max 180. This basketball shoe came about during the Dream Team’s trip to Barcelona and from the looks of things it has really stood the test of time.
White leather and navy nubuck mix with red and gold on the midsole to make this Olympic sneaker one of the USA’s finest representations. The shoe is slated to make a comeback sometime this year but the projected summer release date is rapidly approaching and no sign of it at retailers is in sight.
Air Jordan Accolades – Black / Varsity Red
The Air Jordan Accolades is yet another silhouette that takes inspiration from Air Jordan models, and has started hitting select accounts in several colorways. Two of the most noticeable inspirations include the graphic designs along the shoe, which are reminiscent of the Air Jordan 20 (XX), featuring many of MJ’s accolades. Also, the sole features a similar function, as it includes many accomplishments achieved by Michael, a design taken straight from the Air Jordan 10 (X).
The pair shown here features a black upper along with laser etching across the shoe, as well as minimal varsity red accents, including the Jumpman logo on the tongue. You can pick up a pair now at Finishline accounts.
