For nineteen years we’ve seen mass amounts of styles and colors of the Air Max 90, but there’s never a disappointment. Swing by your local Foot Locker in April to cop a pair of this red/blk colorway, another one to look forward to. Similar to the gry/grn Max 90, the gradient below the collar stands out. The upper and toe box are predominantly black, with a red swoosh and outsole, and a white/red midsole. Additionally, the toebox and collar provide breathability with an unusual mesh material. Hit up the gallery for a better look.

Each day, more people and businesses are becoming environmentally conscious. The Terra Humara Considered, available at Foot Locker in the month of May, is an environmentally friendly shoe that is part of the movement. The Nike Considered line uses recycled materials, while eliminating environmentally harmful ones through techniques such as stitching instead of using toxic glue attachments. One person does make a difference, so start by purchasing a pair of environmentally friendly sneakers. Not only is the gry/yel color-up appealing, but the overall shoe has an extremely unique look. Several weeks ago, the April release of the gry/orng/roy colorway was mentioned but here’s another option, which may be worth waiting an extra month. For more shots, swing by the gallery.

Don’t forget that this Saturday 2/28 at House of Hoops and Foot Locker stores the Phoenix Suns Championship Pack drops. The pack includes a Six Rings, AJ1 Phat Low blk/org, and AJ1 Phat Low wht/org.

The Air Jordan Fusion 6 mid is hitting Foot Locker tomorrow 2/21 in wht/blk/purp. The shoe mixes the look of the Jordan VI and the Air Force 1, and is one of the smoother looking Fusions to come out. A very limited run of the AJF 6 is also releasing at the House of Hoops on the same day, in commemoration of black history month. Shots of the wh/blk/purp in-line release below.

Swing by any of the three House of Hoops locations to check out the limited KD1 Pack today, which includes the 2009 All Star shoe he dominated in this past weekend.

Seattle and University of Texas color-ups complete the pack. Check out more shots after the jump.

The Air Jordan I is at House of Hoops in limited pairs in this silver foil (pewter) colorway. I like the shine, and it’s a lot more subtle than gold foil. If you’re around Chi-town, NY or LA check them before they’re gone. Chicago’s House of Hoops got them this Saturday so if you missed them on release day they’re there now. More shots after the jump.
