It’s not too surprising that the metallic Air Jordan 1 styles from the original set have sort of been neglected during that model’s extensive 2013 retro treatment. The shoes haven’t historically gotten the same level of shine that the original Bulls stuff, or even the “Royal” version did. But then again, Jordan Brand did randomly pull out the black/metallic gold again so at this point we’d say anything is possible. Continue reading for a refresher on one of the original pairs, sporting white and metallic blue, and then bid on them yourself from prettyollie on eBay.

The Jordan Son of Mars Low is a sneaker tied up in the history of the Michael Jordan/Spike Lee relationship. You’ll recall that the first version, the Jordan Son of Mars, came bearing elements from all of the Air Jordan releases in which Spike helped to promote, with the sum total of its influences being the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan IV, Air Jordan V, Air Jordan VI, and the Air Jordan XX. This year’s Jordan Son of Mars Low trims the fat just a little bit though, casting off the Air Jordan XX details to focus instead on that consecutive run from the Air Jordan III to the VI while maintaining a lower-than-usual cut on a Jordan sneaker. The resulting design has a lot of catching up to do if it wants to be regarded in the same breath the Jordan Spiz’ike, but there is a new colorway dropping this Saturday at Foot Locker that is turning some heads.

The Air Jordan IV will get all spooky on us later on in 2013 in the form of the Air Jordan IV “Fear” shown. The colorway is a chilling black and white with touches if a spooky grey, one that’s supposedly inspired by the fear that Michael Jordan caused whenever he stepped on the court. The only real details pointing to that theme are tucked away on the insoles, with the outer shell of the shoe keeping things muted. Continue reading for more looks at the “Fear” Air Jordan 4 and check back in with Sneaker News to find out when they’re releasing.

Does the USATF heritage deserve a bit more of a spotlight from Nike Sportswear? Sure, their current apparel references our Olympic runners enough, but they haven’t spent too much time telling the stories the sneakers of old that competed on that grand stage. Catching them up is the Nike Air Pegasus ’92 in some patriotic colors, part of a four pair pack of Pegasus classics that also includes the Nike Air Pegasus ’83 and the Nike Air Pegasus ’89. Continue reading to see all three and watch for them in stores this Saturday, June 22nd-Nikestore online being one of them.

LeBron James is on the eve of one of those defining moments in his career. He’s about to tested in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals, wherein he’s got the chance to fulfill the promise of all those championships down in Miami. His footwear ahead of the momentous occasion? It’s an oddball choice: the Nike Air Flow in that OG bright cactus/blue glow colorway. Also, he’s still got the headband off, so we can only assume he’ll still be in full-on best mode when it comes time for Game 7. Get the full photo below and make sure you check back in with Sneaker News following Thursday’s Game 7 for a full photo recap.

Does the brand new Nike NSW Skystepper remind you of any sneaker you’ve seen before? Far be it from us to peg down the look that Nike Sportswear was going for when whipping up this new design, but they sort of emanate a “Yeezy” aura. You’ve got the midfoot strap, the smaller Swoosh around the back end, the padded ankle, and a fairly high hitting shape that has them looking like a Kanye West outtake. Do you see it, or is this just another innocuous NSW design? Tell us in the comments and watch for the Nike NSW Skystepper in stores starting July, or right now via pre-order from Afew.

About a month ago, Sneaker News showed you a sample Nike Flyknit Racer that spun the ‘USA’ colorway in a blue/Volt combo. Those will likely never see the light of day at retail, but we see a similar weave at work on this new Flyknit Racer scheduled for next year. This pair is a grey/black combo instead of blue/black on the other weave, but the Volt accents are interspersed in all the same spots. Check them out after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more details on this projected January 2014 drop.

The Jordan Super.Fly 2 is a model with which we’ve been acquainted since February’s 2013 NBA All-Star Game, but the first release date is still off in the distance. Super.Fly 2 drops will continue throughout the 2013-14 basketball season, and one of them set to arrive around the time of the next ASG has that classic Western Conference look in vibrant blue. They’re blocked similarly to the black pair with Bright Crimson and Gym Red edition we previewed most recently, but we’ll have to wait to find out exactly which shade dominates this pair. Have a closer look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more details.
