Zoom MVP Trash Talk with Nike Considered Box

April 16, 2009

As you may know Steve Nash is something of a “green” enthusiast. The last year or two he’s sported a “Trash Talk” shoe at some point during the season, meaning is was designed using Nike Considered guidelines and primarily made of scrap and recycled materials. This year Nash got his first signature shoe, the Nike [...]

Hyperize: Nike Hyperdunk 2.0

April 15, 2009

Nike has unveiled the updated Hyperdunk, the Nike Hyperize (née Hyperlite). It keeps the same basic silhouette of the Hyperdunk, but goes a step further in terms of weight (or lack thereof), reducing materials by creating a smaller midsole and using less flywire than on the original.

Croc Skin Air Max 90

April 15, 2009

Celebrating the soon-to-come 20-year anniversary of the Air Max 90, Nike has designed this croc skin Air Max 90, limited to three pairs. That’s it. I don’t think anything else really needs to be said about the shoe; this is the most limited edition of one of the best athletic shoes that’s been made. The [...]

Jackie Robinson Nike Blazer

April 15, 2009

We know Nike loves their themes, even when the theme isn’t exactly Nike-related. Case in point, the new Jackie Robinson Nike Blazer pack. I don’t know much about Jackie’s involvement with Nike, being that he was playing before Blue Ribbon Sports was even a light bulb in Phil Knight’s mind, but Robinson serves as the [...]

RT1 Neutral Grey-Cool Mist

April 14, 2009

If you recall, the first colorway of Nike’s Revolution Trainer dropped a bit ago, the Nike RT1 Black/Red. Well the second colorway is coming soon, as the RT1 Neutral Grey-Cool Mist will drop May 1st. (yeah, it’s a Friday; Dude, I don’t know.) While the RT1 Black/Red just seemed very plain for a brand new [...]

April 14, 2009

Having just written about the Air Max 1 Brazil, let’s keep the “themed shoe” concept going with the Nike Zoom Kobe IV Hornets “Draft Day.” The shoe is the latest in limited Zoom Kobe IV’s and while it resembles the Zoom Kobe IV MPLS, this one takes its inspiration from the Charlotte Hornets colorways in [...]

Air Max 1 Brazil

April 14, 2009

Nike has dropped yet another gimmick shoe, the Air Max 1 Brazil. The Brazilian flag is actually green, blue, yellow and white, so I couldn’t really tell you why the “Brazil” Air Max 1 would be turquoise, red, grey, white and quasi-snakeskin. Either way, the shoe is really tight, with a predominantly grey and turquoise [...]

Air Jordan 16.5

April 13, 2009

Jordan Brand’s at it again, making yet another almost-Air-Jordan, with the Air Jordan 16.5, a hybrid between the Air Jordan 16 and the AJ17. The shoe sports the patent leather toe and colorway from the Air Jordan 16, and, among other things, the lace-shroud holes from the 17. The shoe itself sports a black leather [...]
