It seems like all brands are coming at full force this summer, taking advantage of the school-free zone and whipping out some of the best releases of the year. From Jordan Brand, we already know about the Golden Moments Pack, but another set of AJKO’s are poised to make a return as well. The ‘Gold Medal’ Foamposite is also one to look out for (as are the Silver/Crimson joints), and the upcoming LeBron 9 ‘MVP’ should kick the LeBron fire up a notch. The most talked-about SB Dunk Low over the last year finally released in ‘Nontourage’ form, the Air Yeezy 2 looks poised to release on June 9th, and the Air Penny line continues to go strong with a first clear look at the ‘Phoenix’ Air Penny V. His former ORL running-mate Shaq has been in the news, as Reebok confirmed a release of the Shaq Attaq and Shaqnosis for 2013.

The ‘Rings’ Pack from Asics and Bait brings another bit of Olympic flavor, while some upcoming New Balance releases have the classic-runner game on lock with some great 1500s and 991s. For the skate-friendly style, Vans came through with some notable headlines of the week, while the Air Safari Pack has a confirmed release date in Europe. Jay-Z and Kanye repeated as the top 2 Celebrity Feet features of the week, while Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics came out on top with his Air Jordan VIII PE.

Sneaker Freak — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:18:32 +0000

If you need more ‘posite’ in your life, you can be ‘posite-ively’ excited about the Nike Air Max Flyposite – a hybrid of the U.S. football-specific Zoom Flyposite and the 360-degree Max Air unit. Sneaker News first broke the news of the Air Max Flyposite when NSW head Gentry Humphrey presented it to the Twitter world, but it’s apparent that the Air Max Flyposite isn’t just a employee-only hybrid mash-up, but an actual release later this year. It features the sporty Flyposite upper with all-conditions-ready Max Air, so in addition to looking good, these should feel as good as any other 360 Max Air model. An extra shot of the tongue awaits you below, so take a look and stick with Sneaker News for more updates. Photos: kumastock
