Nike Air Trainer 1 – Tecmo Bo Jackson

nat-bo-1
Nike
has been cleaning up with multi-sport superstar Bo Jackson these past few weeks, paying homage to the retired athlete through an assortment of different shoes. On top of the Nike Air Trainer II LE and Nike Blazer Mid models we saw earlier this week, pictures of a new Nike Air Trainer I tribute have got people talking. Similar to the Tecmo Blazers, this Blue and White Royals inspired colorway features a pixelated pattern and a 16-Bit Bo Jackson tag on the tongue. No details on a release date yet, but Nike seems to be giving anything with a Bo Jackson twist the green light.

Air Jordan XI Spacejam – More Detailed Pictures

Air Jordan XI Spacejam - More Detailed Pictures 1

Yesterday a few more pictures of the Air Jordan XI (11) Spacejam samples surfaced. Today, Marqueesole brings us additional detailed and up close photos of the actual production version, allowing us to see what may be the best Jordan Brand release of 2009. Subtle differences can be seen as the Jumpman on the left shoe is facing rearwards while the Jumpman on the right shoe is facing towards the front. Also, the Jumpman seen through the translucent sole is Royal Blue as well. Despite minor differences these shoes speak for themselves and all we can do is wait for the November 27th release date.

Nike Air Force 1 Pixel Fade Customs

Sneaker customizer JGoods did an absolute fantastic job on these Nike Air Force Ones. The hand painted gold and blue hued features a large pixel fade from heel to toe and even custom JGoods toe tags and insoles. While large pixels typically denote poor resolution these are definitely high quality kicks. Dont expect to get your hands on these because these are one of a kind.

Air Jordan Retro XI 2009 – Space Jam Preview

jordansj-3
The long waited retro release of the Air Jordan Space Jam XI is approaching, and here we have the first pictures of the sneakers. Brand Jordan didn’t make any big changes, there’s little to be done for a shoe that scores so highly in all categories, but one difference is the color of the Jumpman logo on the sole of the shoe. If memory serves me, said logo was white in previous editions. Slated for a release on November 27th, you’ll probably be paying a premium if you miss the rumored $175 retail mark.
