Remember White Men Can’t Jump? Reebok re-launched Woody’s shoe in late ‘07, claiming he rocked Reverse Jams, and then later retracted it. This time around, Nike is pushing a Flight Lite that’s “inspired” by the film. WTF? Can someone please just go and watch the movie so we can figure out what these two are rocking, and let the brands launch a double pack? If you want the Marty McFly x Buzz Lightyear x White Men threesome Nikes, they’re at House of Hoops now. [Hypebeast]

Oh shitttt! If you liked the AM90 Flywires or Moires, you’re gonna want to earmark this fall and have some cash on hand to drop on these Huarache Air Max 90s. [Kicks on Fire]

With the recession in full swing, Reebok decided to hire the boss’ three-year old European daughter to bang out a few Omni-Lites for Fall. (Seen at Bread and Butter) [High Snobiety]

Here’s a look at the Air Jordan x A Tribe Called Quest. Are these fakes? Probably, but the real ones are going to look a lot like this. [Up Tempo Air]

If only Michael Jordan tried skating instead of a swing-and-miss baseball career, he’d probably be rocking these Supra Cruizer’s. The low-profile sneaker that’s full of skate-tech has been known to resemble iconic Jordans, and for Supra’s Spring 08 collection look out for this make-up that garners inspiration from the Grape Vs.

No hard release date yet, but expect specialty Supra retailers, including Factory 413 to stock them for about $70, once they do drop.
