Nike Air Force 1 – Black/Black-White

The only Air Force 1s we have seen as of late are FUTURA x Nike Air Force 1 collabs. You can never go wrong with collaborations, especially with FUTURA. Besides those legendary collabs, Nike is set to release this Air Force 1 which comes in a Black/Black-White colorway. The colors are pretty simple. As for the materials, there’s nothing simple about them.

These Air Force 1s carry a all black appearance with attention catching materials. Black patent leather is put into use on the Nike Swoosh, forefoot, midfoot, and heel. The remainder of the uppers are covered with perforated leather. To finish off the sneaker, Nike adds a black smoked outsole and a clean white midsole. Touches of silver are seen on the midsole. Expect these soon at select Nike retailers. Via Nicekicks.

Women’s Nike Blazer Low 09 ND – Red/Red-Club Purple

We usually don’t see red and purple on the same sneaker. Maybe because red and purple are two of the loudest colors and brands are afraid that the sneaker would be too bold. Out of all the sneaker brands, only Nike would have enough guts to mix red and purple together. Well they do exactly that with this Women’s Nike Blazer Low 09 ND.

The colorway of this sneaker is Red/Red-Club Purple. Red is seen on most of the sneaker, including the uppers and Nike Swoosh. The inner lining also features red. The eye catching purple is put into used on the outsole, shoe laces, and the Nike branding on the heel and tongue tag. To add some contrast, Nike added a clean white midsole. Look for these soon at Nike retailers.

Javale McGee – Air Jordan VI Retro “Oreo”

The Washington Wizards are currently in a rebuilding mode. After the whole Gilbert Arenas situation, everything has gone wrong for the Wizards. They traded away some of the best players including Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison. But with all the star power they lost this season, they still have some young talent to look forward to. One of the brightest players on their roster is Javale McGee. McGee isn’t getting many minutes, but he’s making the most out of his little playing time. Well last night, Javale McGee was balling in the recently released Air Jordan VI Retro “Oreo”. All the other Wizards players were matching with their jerseys, McGee not so much. During his 13 minutes last night, he got 13 points. Thats pretty good.

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski – Pacific Blue / White

The Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski is Nike SB’s newest low-top model, and it now comes equipped with a stitched swoosh and a suede upper. This time around, Stefan Janoski’s sneaker hosts a pacific blue base with white accents seen on midsole, swoosh, and laces, while black accents are visible via the midsole stripe and inner lining. If you’re interested, you can now purchase the “Pacific Blue” Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Pro Model at your local Nike SB retailers.

NATrainerSCNavy1
Just last week we informed you of a Nike Air Trainer SC in a white/midnight navy-black colorway that had popped up early on eBay. However, these have now officially hit Nike accounts, meaning online Nike retailers should also be expecting to make these available soon- which should put you more at ease than shopping on the ‘bay. So head to your favorite, local Nike carrier if you can’t wait to get your hands on this colorway of such an iconic sneaker.

Classic Puma Suede

We have been surprised by Puma with its shoe lineup early this year. Personally, I have known the said brand from producing classic silhouettes and was really amazed by the previous releases. We have seen fresh and unique releases just like the Alexander McQueen x Puma Black Tech Ko Sneaker, the Puma Cycling to Mars and the Puma Dallas. And now let’s have a glance with the Puma’s Suede Classic trifecta that is available now at Mita’s online store. What are the features of this sneaker that will make you head off to your favorite Puma retailer? The Suede Classic has a 100% base fused with a vulcanized sole that has an accompanying inner lining of the same color. Other features include a green/black Puma logo that can be seen on the tongue and a gold Puma tag logo that can be found on the side panel. Because the Suede Classic is available in various colorways, you can choose the best for you on the grey/blue, green/white and purple/yellow combinations.

Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar – Yellow Ochre/Del Sol

We all just saw the Nike SB Zoom Omar Salazar QS Dinosaur Jr. Most sneakerheads loved the colorway, but the design wasn’t loved by many. We may have that same situation with this SB Zoom Omar Salazar. The time around Omar Salazars signature sneaker comes in a Yellow Ochre/Del Sol colorway. Most of the sneaker is constructed with suede. Also featured on the sneaker is flywire. Black is seen on the tongue tag, inner lining, and outsole. To give the design a nice look, white is added to the shoe laces and midsole. Overall, the shoe gives off boot look. Skateboarders are bound to love the sneaker, so these shouldn’t be available for a long time. These are available now at overseas retailers, but expect a release in the states sometime soon.

Nike SB Omar Salazar Pro Model -  Yellow Ochre / Del Sol

Although the Dinosaur Jr. version of the Nike SB Omar Salazar Pro Model will most likely end up being the most popular at the end of the day, this colorway of Omar Salazar’s first Nike SB signature sneaker is definitely worth checking out. Featuring a yellow ochre upper with del sol, black, and white accents, this pair is definitely one of the brighter and more unique sneaker colorways we have seen in a while. This yellow ochre/del sol Nike SB Omar Salazar Pro Model is now available overseas, and should be available for purchase at your local Nike SB retailers in the coming months.

Nike Hyperize – Yi Jianlian Home Player Exclusive

We all know how the New Jersey Nets season is going. They have exactly 10 wins out of 74 games. The team is a embarrassment to all the New Jersey Natives. One of the best players on the Nets is forward Yi Jianlian. Yi has quietly been improving his game with little to no attention.

Here we see a Nike Hyperize made just for Yi Jianlian. He’s not stranger to Player Exclusives as he has received a couple from Nike this season. His latest Player Exclusive is made for the Nets home games. The sneaker feature white uppers made of leather. Navy Blue is seen on areas such as the Nike Swoosh and outsole, while red appears on the shoe laces as well as other areas of the sneaker. It looks like the Nets have at least one thing to be happy about.

Nike Dunk High GS – White/Metallic Silver/Violet Purple

The GS Nike Dunks always have some of the loudest colorways we see. There’s a really interesting theory behind that. Adult sneakerheads look for simple colorways and stay away from loud ones, while children sneakerheads look for brighter colorways and don’t really dig the simple ones. But just like with everything else in the world, everyone can have different opinions on sneakers.

Here we get a look at a Nike Dunk High GS that is sure to break some necks. The mind boggling colorway is officially dubbed White/Metallic Silver/Violet Purple. Violet is put into place on the heel, toe box, insoles, and outsole. Mint can be seen on the toe, eyelets, and shoe laces. White is placed on areas such as the side panels and midsole, while a Metallic Silver Nike Swoosh tops of the design. I don’t know, but it looks like Nike tried to use the “grape” colorway on these. These are available now at Finishline.
