Nike Air Force 1 Hi

The Air Force 1 has been seen a lot this year. Most of those Air Force 1s have been Lows, which has left the Hi all alone. Well no worries as Nike finally gives us an Air Force 1 Hi.

The Air Force 1 has been constructed in suede with tumbled leather used here and there. The sneakers heel and quarter panel feature a nice stripe pattern with black dots.

Its midsole has a gradient-like feature since it somehow fades from blue to red. His ‘Away’ version of sneakers shares the same design elements and cues but with that the dominant color is black.

Air Jordan Force Fusion XII – Obsidian/White

The Fusion is highly hated by many sneakerheads. While sneakerheads stay away from all Fusions, regular shoe buyers just stroll into the store and pick up a pair of Fusions just because of the Air Jordan label. But of all the Fusions we have seen, the Fusion XII has to be the best looking.

The latest Air Jordan Force Fusion XII comes in an Obsidian/White colorway. There’s no doubt that these Fusions are inspired after the obsidian 12s. This fusion XII features an upper made mostly of obsidian blue tumbled leather. French blue is seen on areas such as the inner lining, heel, and the Jumpman on the tongue. White works its way on the shoe laces, midsole, and outsole. Even though most sneakerheads will hate this move by Jordan Brand, this isn’t that bad for a fusion.

Air Jordan Flight SC-1 – Black/White/Cement/Blue

Newly design Air Jordan are always hated, especially team Jordans. Well one of the most hated Air Jordan right now is the Flight SC-1, which has been seen a lot recently. The most recent Flight SC-1 was the “oreo” colorway, which did the sneaker no justice at all. Take a look at the latest Air Jordan Flight SC-1 as it comes in a Black/White/Cement/Blue colorway.

The sneakers most notable feature has to be the grey cement print, which is located just above the midsole. Blue is seen on areas such as the shoe laces, Jumpman, and the tongue border. The rest of the Flight SC-1s base is done up in white leather. To finish off the sneaker, Jordan Brand adds a clean white midsole and a grey outsole. Are these like the other Flight SC-1s or does this colorway do something for you?

Nike Air Max 95 in Lime

Just when the American girls reach the age of having their own driver’s permit along with the Latin girls turning 15, here comes Nike Air Max 95 as well being released. This new Lime look will be released within a month’s time in commemoration of the AM95’s fifteenth birthday.

With the same color blocks used with the Neons, this pair of sneakers will replace the namesake color with a less eccentric color. In fact, these can be more closely compared to the Mint 95s which were released around two years ago. There is a typical effect of the gradient layering than sets into transition from black to white as it moves vertically.

What is in Lime color is the swoosh, the Air Max unit and the hoops of the shoe laces. This is definitely a toned down look. Would you prefer this colorway or not? Would you get a pair once this gets released?
