Today’s kicks: Nike Air Max 1 black/scuba blue
Today we take a look at a new DROP from Nike that in my opinion comes out of left field. Seen below is the Nike Dunk High Deconstruct. This is a new series from Nike that was also seen on the Air Force 1 and strips the shoe down to only its suede outer. The reason this DROP is so crazy to me is that Nike has always been a performance first company. All of their shoes outside of the lifestyle lines have always been “sport ready” so to speak. These suede kicks don’t appear to provide enough support for any type of sport but they do look like a perfect style compliment for a relaxed look. The tonal colorways and gum sole are a perfect pairing with the lightly structured suede. Adding details to these are the interior branding on the tongue and the Nike logo-ed aglets add some pop. Think any other models will pop up? Would be really interesting to see how this treatment works on some of the classic runners in the Nike catalog. Watch for these to DROP next summer and thanks to SneakerNews for the pics.



Below we take a look at a new DROP from NSW that continues the sneakers with boot features style we have seen the past few years. This comes by way of the Nike Sky Force 88 Mid. This shoe was in the spotlight recently with the Stussy collaboration seen HERE. This pack features two muted colors and great suede perfect for fall/winter styles. The first is a nice burgundy color with cream midsoles and a brown outsole. The hiker look is completed with a grey wool ankle cuff and metal eyelets and d-rings. The other Sky Force in this pack is all the same materials but with a black suede upper, white midsole, and grey outsole. These have already DROPped across the pond and we hope they will DROP stateside soon. Head over to SneakerNews for more pics.



Here we take a look at a new Air Max 90 that is starting to DROP at retailers. This is the Air Max 90 Black/WhiteVolt. The shoe features a primarily black upper featuring leather and mesh in all the right places. The highlights are the volt outsole, max air unit, and air max hit while the eyelets and swoosh are completed in white. Finishing off this totally 80s look is a multi colored Nike hit on the tongue tag. This particular tongue tag is a newer detail with NSW and I have to say this is the first shoe I think it actually works well on. Is this totally 80s AM90 for you? See more pictures over at NiceKicks.

Today we take a look at a great Air Max 1 colorway that DROPPED this spring. I was going through a bunch of random blogs last night and came across this one that I had loved when I first saw it but forgotten so I figured I would publish a reminder for all of us. The shoe features a canvas upper in a honeycomb yellow with a white midsole. The thing that really makes this shoe pop in my opinion is the blue spark outsole. The colors seem like an odd pairing but somehow just work. They are perfect with a pair of camo shorts and a tee or some dark denim going into fall. Definitely wish I would have added these to the catalog back in April. They are still floating around for just above retail at places like Flight Club.


Normally I am a huge fan of the Air Max 90 but something about this all black colorway just doesn’t work for me. The hype has remained behind this shoe since the 20th anniversary last year and the colorways keep coming. The ripstop nylon is a nice touch but I would have liked to see a hit of color on perhaps the swoosh and tongue tag. What do you think of this recent colorway of the classic? If you dig it you can cop yours at NSW retailers like Premier (http://www.thepremierstore.com/product_detail.cfm?CatID=Search&PID=9370)


Pretty pumped on my most recent pick up on the sneaker front. The Nike Air Trainer SC II was just released in the original colorways of White/Indigo Navy-Wolf Grey-Infrared & White/Cement Grey-Neutral Grey-Citron. These Bo Jackson signatures haven’t been released in these colors for nearly 21 years and are a welcome addition to old school sneakerheads closets and young beginners alike. These releases aren’t as hyped as some of the retro Jordans and nearly a full size run is still available on Nike.com among other retailers like Moda3 in Milwaukee (http://blog.moda3.com/).
