Nike Air Trainer 1 - Bo Knows

Nike is lacing up many athletes with their own PE of the Air Trainer 1, but they can’t do that without paying homage to one of the greats, Bo Jackson. For two years, Nike ran a campaign with Bo Jackson for a series of cross-training shoes: The “Bo Knows” campaign. This black and silver colorway is very reminiscent of Bo’s uniform when he played for the Oakland Raiders. Besides the Bo Knows logo on the tongue tag, you can catch a very famous poster of Bo Jackson printed on the insoles. Unfortunately, these are just a 1 of 1 made especially for Bo, so you’ll have to catch other colorways. Bo definitely knows sneakers.

Nike GS Transformers 2 Pack

With the latest “X-Men” themed releases already available for purchase, Nike has just rolled out a trio of sneakers made exclusively in gradeschool sizes. The first sneaker from this pack is the “Optimus Prime” Dunk High, and it features a metallic base with patent leather and fire accents. The next sneaker is the “Bumblebee” Air Max 95 which hosts a black upper with metallic gold and white accents along with a bumblebee on the tongue. The final sneaker, the “Megatron” CB 94 yields a metallic silver upper with blue and black laces. The Nike GS Transformers 2 Pack is now available at select Nike retailers.

A Bathing Ape Bapesta - Metallic Aoyama Edition

After seeing the Bape Bapesta Metallic Pack, A Bathing Ape makes us wonder why another Bapesta was made in a metallic colorway when a metallic pack was just made beforehand. This time though, the Bape Bapesta comes in a metallic gold/metallic silver colorway, which is a combination of the metallic pack’s two colorways. The upper is completely metallic in gold and silver, and is contrasted nicely by a white midsole and grey sole and inner lining. The stitching found throughout the shoe is also metallic, to complete this metallic shoe. These are Aoyama store exclusives but there are limited pairs elsewhere.

Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) Fairfax PE - Home and Away

Finally we have detailed pictures of the Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) Fairfax Player Exclusives in the home and away colorways. Of course, the home PE features a white/varsity red/yellow colorway, and the away with a black/varsity red/yellow colorway. The home PE’s were the only High School PE’s worn by LBJ in an actual NBA game. The shoe features a white upper and midsole, along with a red/yellow sole to match the tongue and heel tab, which features the Fairfax name. The away pair is different in that it has a black suede upper to match the black midsole. It follows the same suit as the home edition in the rest of the details. Too bad these aren’t released to the public, because these are most definitely worth rockin onthe courts.

Nike RT1 - White / Pure Purple - Neutral Grey

With the Nike RT1 already available for purchase in a couple colorways, we now have our first detailed look at this new style. This pair features a white upper with grey and pure purple accents. The purple hits on this sneaker can be seen via the laces, tongue, sole, and heel, while neutral grey can be seen on the upper and tongue. Overall, this variation of the Nike RT1 hosts a clean and fresh colorway that is definitely worth checking out.

Nike Big Nike High - Women’s

Nike is getting big on the Big Nike, as its comeback is in full effect, available for not only men and children, but women as well. The Nike Big Nike Women’s comes in three loud colorways: white/neutral grey-pink, white/persian violet-bright coral, and white/volt-imperial blue. All three shoes have leather uppers and white midsoles, with soles following their respective colorways. Each shoe also has the “NIKE” print in bold on the back heel to differentiate itself from the Nike Dunk. These are available now for about $127 each.

A Bathing Ape Bapesta - Metallic Pack | Spring/Summer 2009

We have seen a couple previews of some of the upcoming releases from A Bathing Ape lately, including the Bape Skullsta and Roadsta collections. We now have a first look at an upcoming Metallic Pack which is composed of two pairs of the Bape Bapesta. The first features a full metallic silver upper accented by a white midsole and white laces. The second style yields a metallic gold base with similar white accents. There is no doubt that both these variations of the Bapesta are not made for everyone and feature some unique color schemes. The A Bathing Ape Bapesta Metallic Pack is set to drop in the Spring/Summer of 2009.

Nike Sportswear Fly Top - Fall 2009

Although a fuzzy image surfaced online some weeks ago, we now present to you a clear picture of the Nike Zoom LeBron 7 (VII).

Rumors are floating around the the Nike Zoom LeBron 7 will have a Max Lebron VII logo, flywire, and as we can see a visible air sole unit. The Black on Black pair pictured is said to release December 1st, but other colorways should start rolling out October 2009.

Plus 41 x Grotesk Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke - Sneakerness

What happens when Nike collides with Swiss designers +41 and Grotesk? A sweet Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 that will be showcased at this year’s Sneakerness at Zurich May 9th. The +41 x Grotesk Bespoke Nike Air Force 1 is a unique pair of Nike iD’s, with influences by the Air Jordan III (3) and Air Jordan Sky High. The shoe has a white leather upper, white midsole, and of course, a translucent sole. On top of that, the upper has an elephant print panel, and the lace holes are Sky High. This is a very clean collabo, and doesn’t carry the names of the artists like other collabo shoes do. So feast your eyes on these babies as long as you want.
