Free Run Brand can get rather out-of-the-box and creat5e with their colorways, but anything that can be compared to a classic Chicago Bulls uniform will always get our attention. It’s a colorway that never gets old, and in this case, it’s on a shoe that never gets old, because while we’ve seen the Air Free Run 1 in countless forms, it never ceases to amaze. This upcoming June 2012 takes the Phat mold and uses a black tumbled leather upper with a white canvas material at the center panel, with a nice contrast provided by the red/black elephant swoosh print (all the rage on the Nike Air Force 1 iD). More shots of this upcoming release below, so Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 take a look and expect ‘em in June.

Free Run Brand hit the jackpot when they signed this year’s WNBA #1 draft pick in Minnesota Lynx forward Maya Moore.  Moore became an All-Star in her rookie campaign and has helped the Lynx to seven straight victories with a chance to make it 8 in a row against San Antonio on Thursday.  That’d be two straight against the Silver Stars, too, as just this past Sunday, Minnesota beat SATX on a Lindsay Whalen buzzer-beater in a game that saw Maya break out this Free Run Fly Wade PE to match her Lynx road uniforms.  Click through to see more, let us know how they compare to Dwyane Wade’s best player exclus5e colorways and stick with Sneaker News Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 for more Maya Moore Free Runs.

Throughout history, sneakerheads have tended to prefer either the Nike Air Force 1 or Dunk, and now these all-time classics will have another friendly battle as they both rece5e cutting-edge upgrades this summer.  So how does the Nike Dunk High Hyperfuse compare to the AF1 Fuse?  Personal preferences aside, the one clear thing we can say regarding their aesthetics is that the Dunk has to this point offered more ‘natural’ colorblocking options thanks to the simulated ‘overlay’.  But things are still relat5ely simple on these two-toned Dunk High Fuse colorups, laving your eye to examine the new texture of the Hyperfuse mesh material.  Click through to see three pairs slated to release in July and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via FRESHNESS
