Nike Zoom Tennis Classic White-Black/Gold


In November we saw the Nike Zoom Tennis Classic get done-up in a yellow colorway with black/white accents and a perforated Nike swoosh. For this colorway, Nike teamed up once again with famous Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara. Both sides decided to leave the silhouette’s upper predominantly white, adding a black ankle lining and gold ankle tab. While these are expected to release from certain Nike retailers in Spring of 2010, the sneakers has begun to arrive at certain Japanese retailers. So stay tuned for more release information as it becomes available, and enjoy close-up pictures of this shoe after the jump.

Gravis Expedition Pack 1

Going outdoors for a hiking trip in the woods doesn’t have to equate to wearing dull looking combat shoes with absolutely boring colors with camouflage patterns. The Gravis Expedition Pack makes sure you’re still trendy when you hike out into the woods of la-la land.

First among the three, the Gravis Expedition 1 looks cozy and yet durable, together of course with its flashy color combination.

Nike Air Max 90 Current Moire

nike-current-moire-1-1

The Air Max 90 Current Moire is very slippery, like a snake.  The upper is totally seamless.  It is very smooth, but not scaly.  It also has the Air Max accents and paneling that completes the package.  It has a dark neutral base and the stippling is silver.  The effect is like staring at a star filled sky.  It is kind of nice if you think about it.  The glowing neon green swoosh is a very good addition.  The air unit and the turquoise lining makes this sucker a head turner.  This will be available in Spring or Summer 2010.

Jordan Classic ‘91 – Black Patent Leather

jordan-classic-91-black-patent-03

Critics have always bashed the Jordan Classic 91 for its dull design and its colourways.  But the sales report on these babies does the talking.  With very high consumer sales, they have released the Black Patent Purple.  The whole shoe is covered with black patent leather with some touches of purple.  It could have been better with the colors inverted, the patent leather purple then a few black touches here and there.  But we could not complain, it looks good on either male or female.  The critics can bash all they want, but the people have already spoken.  Too bad for them.

Nike Dunk High East – Urban Haze

dunkhi_urbanhaze

2009 has been the year that the classic battle between East and West has, and still is, being fought.  The Nike East vs. West has shown us a great deal of lines that we have never seen before.  Earlier this year, DJ Clark Kent designed the East Spark while Eddie Cruz designed the West Spark.  Here, you are looking at the Nike Dunk High East – Urban Haze.  A pebbled leather on the upper, a speckled midsole and a suede swoosh are the trademarks of the Urban Haze.  These babies represent the East, as shown in the tongue.  I wonder what will be the answer of the West.

Nike Big Nike High – Black/Crimson/White/Safari

big_nike_hi_white_black_crimson

Big Nike High has come out with a new edition in its famous line up.  Big Nike High has released some colourways and special editions like the Spike Lee and Fred Flintstone kicks.  This one has no special name attached to it but it kind of reminds you of a gay James Bond, a tuxedo with a red bow tie.  It’s combination of a white mid, black upper, and crimson laces kind of reminds you a red tuxedo.  Don’t get me wrong, it is very stylish.  The dotted leather from the mid to the rear gives it a rough feel, like on the Nike Air Safari 87.

Nike Sky Force Mid – Spike Lee Edition

Spike Lee is one of the most influential filmmakers in the industry today.  He made so many great films that will be his legacy to those who wants to follow his footsteps.  Now, those people will be able to follow him in his footsteps, literally.  Here is a first look at the Nike Sky Force Mid, Spike Lee style.  It has the same colourway as the Jordan Spike that was released last 2006.  What’s different is the iconic Spike Lee glasses on one side and “Brooklyn” printed on another side.  There is also pebbled leather upper with patent leather.  A polka-dotted red ankle completes the whole package.

Lacking the mid panel window, the Outdoor 2010 features a longer toe box and Air Raid-esque cross straps. No word on any release details, but keep your eyes peeled for more information as it becomes available.
