Most of the recent Gazelle releases including a nice number of 2012 releases have come in ‘OG’ form. Three Stripes changes things up a bit by opting for this adidas Originals Gazelle 2.0, but more important than the name is the material distribution. This Fairway and Green Zest Gazelle 2 is a perfect example of why the ‘tonal’ look is so popular, and it gains extra depth from the subtle contrast between canvas upper, suede toe/eyestay and leather Stripes. You’ll want to enjoy this elegant balance up close after the jump, then grab a pair straight from adidas.

This newest release from Nike Basketball represents a perfect storm of technology and pop culture. The Nike Max H.A.M. takes its name from the lead single from Watch the Throne, and while this model released just in time for summer ball will indeed go hard, the serendipity of combining Hyperfuse and Max Air into a title that captures the tech and a piece of time capsule slang makes these more interesting. Add in the reasonable $95 MSRP and these two colorways are potential sleeper hits, and you’ll find them available now at Finish Line.

Joining a couple other adidas Originals ZX 750s that just arrived at retail is another that utilizes a different blocking template. Whereas those others utilized more of a tonal approach, these new ZX750s opt for a bold yellow contrast on the Stripes and heel counter. This accent really pops from a grey/black base, but using a straightforward primary shade means these still have a classic vibe to them. Check out more shots below, then grab yours from Eastbay.

Who would have thought that the Air Jordan IV would be back for more after all the sneaker did for us in 2012? Then again, we’ve entered an entirely new era of fast-paced retro releases so nothing really seems off limits or too soon these days. For what it’s worth we’re not getting the same colorways again-this batch seems to be an all new one. Included in the set of course is the Air Jordan IV “Stealth Oreo”, a black and white pair with just a bit of speckling across the midsole that gives it its moniker. See more on the Air Jordan 4 “Stealth Oreo” below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release info.

It looks like LeBron isn’t the only one who will see his sneakers transform into a lifestyle look this year. The Nike Kobe 8 looks to be transitioning into this Nike Kobe 8 NSW model as well. The upper echoes that Kobe vibe with both the Swoosh placement and the remnants of the heel clip on the back, both of which are placed on a flat-footed sole to help it transition to an entirely different category. See more on the Nike Kobe 8 NSW “Mexican Blanket” colorway after the jump and keep in mind that these look like an Asian release for June at the moment.

Nike Sportswear is really maximizing the Air Vortex this year, particularly in VNTG form. This latest vintage Nike Air Vortex colorway features the kind of palette that could only have come from the 2010s, a vibrant Laser and Grand Purple plus Cyber yellow combination made immeasurably better by its tonal brown mid/outsole setup. This subtly expressive bottom along with a grey liner provide a buffer for the downright explosive upper, so check them out in greater detail below, then find yours on sale at NSW retailers like Caliroots.
