The Nike Air Max Uptempo III is returning in a big way this year as the Air Max Uptempo 97. The first colorway, an OG look, hit shelves only a month or so ago. Now this colorway has begun arriving at select retailers, including Politics.
Foamposite-esque red covers the entire upper, while a black midsole and semi-translucent outsole provide support. Also in place is a full-length Max Air unit that paved the way for the newer version we saw most recently on the Air Max LeBron VII.

The final part of the WBF Five Boroughs Pack is here to put a mark and boast the Staten Island. We have seen all four colorways designed by DJ Clark Kent, one for each borough and they seemed to be well accepted and admired, with each possessing remarkable feature. As the last pair, sneakerheads have anticipated for this, the Air Force 1 for Staten Island.
Receiving one good color scheme, this Staten Island version uses a mixture of navy blue, orange, and white. The same setup was applied – white tumbled leather on the toe box and side panels, navy blue wool-like material on the remainder, and orange carpet-like Swoosh. Similar to the Swoosh, the inner liner and trimmings also come in orange. The white midsole also sports orange visible stitching so to come up with balance and contrast. The insole reveals a geometric design that spells out Staten Island.
This pair ends the most sensational pack that everyone wishes to have. DJ Clark Kent deserves commendation for his efforts in molding all five kicks. On July 31, 2010, the Five Boroughs Pack will be released with each pair costing $135.

Just want to buy a pair of Nike Zoom Kobe V Big Stage Home right now? Nike Zoom Kobe V Big Stage Home.
Most of you should remember when the Away version of the Nike Zoom Kobe V Big Stage was first unveiled and how even the people who usually can’t stand Kobe really happened to like the shoe. This is definitely a step in the right direction, because although Kobe has a huge amount of fans in LA and elsewhere, there are still many places that are not too fond of him (*cough* Boston *cough*). Today we are going to be looking at the Nike Zoom Kobe V Big Stage Home edition which will hopefully be able to cause the same sort of reactions that the away version did.
The upper of this shoe will be predominantly white and will feature metallic gold on the heel section as well as on the swoosh. There will also be a white on white section that will list Kobe’s career achievements like his career point total.

Just want to buy a pair of Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse right now? Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse.
The Hyperfuse technology is exploring the horizon of other classic icons such as the Trainer. Boasting an innovative feature of a strong and lightweight upper, the Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse is now ready to go bold while it takes on mesh upper covering. What happens to this Trainer is it retains the same features despite replacing the whole leather thing with nylon mesh layer and durable outer layer providing excellent breathability and stability.
When compared to the original Trainer, we see this Hyperfuse version to be seamless and looks less complicated. The neat arrangement contributes to the shoe’s versatility and functionality. For runners and all other athletes, the Trainer Hyperfuse is designed to fuse your every move while boosting your foot to go hyper.
This initial Trainer 1.2 Mid Hyperfuse release is a composition of three semi-monochromatic colorways – black, purple, and teal. The non-black color-ups receive black accent that are being admired as Swoosh, laces, and midsole.
