Air Jordan 1 Retro High - Cinco de Mayo Pack - White

With Easter just passed and the end of April right around the corner, Jordan Brand is looking forward to May for its next holiday-inspired pack of sneakers. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High Cinco de Mayo Pack commemorates the 5/5 celebration in grand style. The pair above in perforated white features accents the colours of Mexico’s flag: red, white and green. These colours transition smoothly into one another every few stitches on the Swoosh and midsole and are also present on the ankles’ Air Jordan ‘Wings’ logo and tongue tag. Slated for a May 2nd limited release, we found these early on eBay. via StepToRun

Air Jordan 1 Retro High - Cinco de Mayo Pack - Black

Here’s the second pair in Jordan Brand’s latest pack of festive footwear. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High Cinco de Mayo Pack appears here with all the same details as its sibling except instead of white leather, these use black suede for their uppers. Both share the Mexican flag-inspired stitching and logos, plus a black midsole atop a white outsole. As with the others, these will find a ‘full’ limited release on Saturday, May 2, but you can cop them today from eBay. via StepToRun

Standard ATL hits us with a look into their new collaboration alongside DC Shoes, utilizing the popular Admiral High model from the DC LIFE Collection.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High - Black - Laser Blue Polka Dot

With May 1 and 2 set to be big days for Jordan Brand releases, it’s somewhat of a relief to see these joints drop a bit early. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High appears here in a pin-sized polka dot design. Like the white-on-black pair that released exactly a month prior to this pair’s May 1 scheduled release, these add the grid of dots in a shiny leather atop a black suede underlay. A nice choice to alternate with last month’s cop, you can grab a pair of these early on eBay. via StepToRun

Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk-Hi Pack - June 2009

It’s about time. After a short burst of hype, the Nylon Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk-Hi Pack disappeared. We saw several other nylon Dunks, but none affiliated with the publication. Now we finally know exactly what to expect and when. The pack includes five neon pairs: pink, orange, yellow, green and blue. Each features the ‘NYLON’ logo in two places: on the side panels it’s a tonal afterthought while the tongue tag features a multicoloured logo evoking each pair in the pack. These joints are set to drop Monday, June 1 at Urban Outfitters and other select Nike retailers. Via High Snobiety

Asics Gel Lyte Speed - Electric Blue - Hot Pink

From the David Z-exclusive ’super blue’ joints to a pair commemorating the Chinese brand’s Guinness World Record, the Asics Gel Lyte III has enjoyed a variety of new colours. Not to be outdone by its older brother, the Gel Lyte Speed appears here in the first of two pairs we’ll show you today to complete a closer look at the trio we first saw a little over a month ago. The pair pictured above comes in a combination of electric blue and hot pink that screams ‘early nineties!’ The ATC-like speckled gradients on the Asics logo add to this theme, while a white, grey and black base provide balance. As with the first pair we saw earlier this week, these are expected sometime next week in extremely limited quantities, so check with your local Asics retailer for more details. via Endorsed

3 Inches of Blood x Nike 6.0 Zoom Oncore High

In what may seem like an unlikely pairing, Nike 6.0 has teamed up with Canadian heavy metal band, 3 Inches of Blood, for an intriguing new collaboration sneaker. After learning that many of their athletes were die-hard metalheads and fans of the band, Nike decided that a collaboration made sense and the result is the Blood Oncore High. The shoe was co-designed by the band themselves, choosing an interesting selection of colors and materials to represent their aggressive sound in sneaker form. Known for their wizards and warriors fantasy battle themes, the Zoom Oncore High has been built for war. The shoe features different muted shades of brown and green distressed leather for the upper with metallic silver side panels to symbolize the menacing blades of war. As a nod the band’s colorful name, various red hues provide additional accents on the tongue, midsole and laces and the 3 Inches of Blood logo is stitched into the heel. Whether you are a fan of the band or just think these kicks are fresh, you can pick up a pair at select Nike 6.o retailers beginning on May 1st. Via 5ones.
