Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Silver/Varsity Red

Nike Air Max 97 Metallic SilverVarsity Red
While maybe if you thought about it long enough you may be able to come up with a colorway of an Air Max model that wasn’t stellar, it would take quite a long time and it would be a much better use of your time to compile a list of your favorites. This colorway is extremely close to the OG colorway but there are a couple of subtle differences to make it a true OG colorway retro. Even though they are a bit different these will certainly be a trip down memory lane for any long term sneakerheads. Hard to believe that we are at the point now that you have had to have been a sneakerhead for that long to be able to properly remember the OG colorway of the Air Max 97, but we’ve made it this far and it doesn’t look like we will be stopping anytime soon.

Nike Trainer 1 Gray/Black/Blue

Nike Trainer 1 GrayBlackBlue
Let’s have ourselves a look at this new Nike Air Trainer 1 that will be coming to you in an interesting new colorway that will please fans whether they prefer their shoes on the wild side or on the subtle side. The upper on these are predominantly gray in places like the mid panels and midsole as well as on the toe area. Black will be scattered around the rest of the shoe in areas like the toe box, side of the toe, heel and ankle areas. The swoosh will come in a vibrant blue and be excellently outlined by a tiny bit of orange. White and blue lace holders really do a good job of adding some light colors to an otherwise dark shoe. These would definitely make a good shoe whether you plan on actually using them for running or just for casual wear. These are available in stores now.

Nike Air Zoom Toki Black/Volt

Nike Air Zoom Toki BlackVolt
The Nike Air Zoom Toki is a style that often gets forgotten about among all of the other Nike releases that come out every week, but those that have ever owned a pair know that these hold a lot of value and quality. The latest version of this shoe will feature a completely black suede upper that is complimented by a tonal Nike swoosh. The shoes are lightly accented with features like white piping on the upper along the lace panels and white eyelets for the lace holes. The midsole will come in a bright white and will feature volt piping where the upper meets the midsole. Some nice touches of volt can also be found sprinkled on the tongue tag as well. No official release date has been announced yet for the states but they have already started popping up at select retailers overseas. Let’s just sit tight and they will be here soon enough.

Nike SB Blazer Blue Zebra

Nike SB Blazer Blue Zebra
Animal prints had been so popular in the sneaker scene and what makes this exceptional is the unique appearance that re-creates any traditional footwear. Today, we are pleased to announce that Nike once again is bringing another animal-themed SB in Blue Zebra pattern. This particular shoe presents a Blue/Black/White zebra-concept canvas upper with a Black suede toecap. The Swoosh comes in White along with Red border on the side while an embroidered NIKE branding appears on the Black heel tab. A neat White contrast stitching has been used to promote neutrality on the panels. The inner liner comes in Red and the laces come in White. Finally, this SB Blazer sits on a textured White rubber sole. If you wish to have a pair of this distinctive creation, head now to any Nike retailer near you. Do you think the zebra concept will become a trend during the year of the tiger?

Jordan Spizike – Do You Know

Jordan Spizike  Do You Know
Do You Know? – I am not asking if you do know something about this sneaker, instead I am a little bit overwhelmed about how it was treated. The latest Jordan Spizike received a special treatment called “Do You Know”, which sports two tones of elephant prints in Grey shade. One fragment appears on the heel in light Grey while the darker tone covers the mudguard. The toe area is finished in solid White leather while the remainder comes in textured White leather. On the tongue part, we can see the Red Jumpman logo embossed in shiny plastic material pairing up the Red lace stopper. What about the sole? To perfectly match up with the upper, the AJ3 midsole is made from a combination of Black, Red, and White with a Grey outsole having hints of Red and White plus the JORDAN label. Another color that stole a part on this Air Jordan Spizike is Blue which is located on the top lace holder as well as the shoe’s inner liner depicting the label “DO YOU KNOW”. Jordan fans would acknowledge this is as another achievement of their favorite sneaker brand. For the pricing, $175 per pair wouldn’t cost you that much if you rate this sneaker with a 5 star.

Air Jordan Jeter Prime

Air Jordan Jeter Prime
While they will definitely appeal to a different type of Jordan fan than the ones that get all worked up over his basketball shoes, it certainly can’t be denied that Jordan Brand knows how to make a functional and stylish pair of shoes for other sports as well. A good example of this is the new Air Jordan Jeter Prime that we are looking at right here. Derek Jeter has been part of the Jordan Brand team for quite a while now, but we think that this is his best signature shoe yet. The shoe looks super comfortable as well as ultra light which will help for those on the spot pivots and acrobatics that Derek is so well known for. The colorway is simple yet efficient and has even managed to work a bit of patent leather into the mix as well. What do you all think of this new installment for Mr. jeter?

Nike Aerofit High Valentine’s Day 2010

Nike Aerofit High Valentines Day 2010
We previously took a look at the Valentine’s Day version of the Air Force 1 which was nice, but was a bit understated compared to Nike’s efforts of previous years. We now have another offering for the holiday of love in a less popular sneaker model, but an admittedly more interesting Valentine’s Day shoe. This is the new Nike Aerofit High made just for the ladies. The upper on these is predominantly shiny red but also features white and accents of pink like on the swoosh of the shoe. An exact release date for these shoes is still not available but we would bet that it is pretty safe to say that they will release sometime before Valentines Day itself. This could possibly be the perfect gift for that special little sneakerhead in your life. Stay tuned for more information on a release date so you don’t end up missing out.
