Re-Release Reminder: Nike Air Trainer 1

Posted: 09 Oct 2009 03:13 PM PDT

Nike Air Trainer 1 Re-release

The Air Trainer 1 “Chlorophyll” is back tomorrow, Saturday the 10th at Ubiq. The “Chlorophyll” colorway is a classic, having given inspiration to numerous later Nikes, including the updated Trainer 1 and Nike Air Maxim “Trainer 1.”

A near-full size run will be available, as 7, 8, 9-14s will all be available for $90, both in the store and by phone. The Air Trainer 1 not only spawned numerous color copycats, but the forefoot strap was used in later trainers, spawning a run of Air Trainers. The grey, black and white colorway is offset with a touch of green, and a checkered tongue tag.

Click here for more info on this re-release.

Parra x Nike Air Maxim 1 Available at 21 Mercer

Parra’s collaboration with Nike on its Air Maxim 1 is now available at Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer St. Last week we reported that these would be in-store, but unfortunately we had received false information, and for that we apologize.

But worry not New Yorkers, it has been confirmed that these are in stock at 21 Mercer right now! As you may remember, Dutch artist and designer Parra designed these, using a light blue and red splatter pattern on the sole, with the same colors appearing again for accents and contrast stitching. A Parra label also appears on the tongue, and three sets of multi-color laces come with them.

So head down to the NSW store in New York and grab yours now.
