Nike Dynasty 81 High

The Nike Dynasty 81 High is truly a legend, as it was released back during the early 1980s. We have seen a couple of colorways of this shoe already this year, and here we get yet another. This Nike Dynasty 81 High comes in an Wolf Grey / Black / White colorway. I don’t really like the Dynasty 81 High, because it looks to much like a big boot. As for the shoe, its completely made of leather. Wolf Grey is seen on most of the upper. Black is used on the Nike Swoosh, heel tab, and tongue tag. The sneaker is finished off with a white midsole and outsole. This colorway look really nice on a shoe that many people don’t like, so it could have both positive and negative feedback. These are available now at Footaction. Pics via Kicksonfire.com

Nike HTM2 Run Boot Low Upcoming Colorways

If you have seen the latest reviews for the HTM@ Run Boot especially for the high-top and low-top versions then this would be another surprise for you. The same Nike HTM2 Run Boot low-top as the Nike’s creative director idea will have three more colorways this March at 21 Mercer and now available in Japan. More appealing than the recent releases, the available colors would be solid with black and navy versions and even white Free 7.0 soles. The white colorway also comes with a touch of grey.

BEAMS x New Balance CM1500

The idea is simplicity. That is what in the minds of collaborating teams of Japan’s BEAMS and New Balance to come up with CM1500. Because of this characteristic, it will surely be a hit with its all grey running silhouettes. The grey color predominates in the two new colorways from this collaboration that is paired with premium suede uppers, leather tongue and toebox mesh. The traditional 1500 detailing and ENCAP labeling can still be seen like in the off-white midsole. You can get a pair on the BEAMS website.

Nike Auto Force 180 Mid - Kill Bill

Earlier this year, we debuted the Nike Kill Bill Pack, which was composed of the Big Nike High & Auto Flight, and we are now receiving word that a third sneaker has been added to the movie inspired pack. This time around, the silhouette is the Auto Force 180 Mid, and it hosts a black leather upper accented by a white midsole, yellow swoosh, red midsole stripe, and a red/yellow “FORCE” on the midfoot strap. Overall, this pair hosts a similar color scheme as the two aforementioned sneakers, and will most likely release in the near future.
