Nike Air Max 97 - Metallic Silver/Sport Red-Black

Nike Air Max 97 - Metallic Silver/Sport Red-Black

The pictured Metallic Silver/Sport Red-Black colorway of the Nike Air Max 97 is now appearing at Nike accounts. As per usual, the color blocking follows the waves that are integrated into the design of the upper. The mudguard is metallic silver while the rest of the waves alternate between red and black. The shoe’s lining is white mesh, a nice touch especially if one plans to actually run in these.

The retail price tag for these kicks is $145.

Nike Dunk Hi Premium - Black/Club Purple-Ultralime

Posted: 31 Jan 2010 09:42 AM PST

Nike Dunk Hi Premium

Nike has released yet another Laker flavored Dunk. Although, this Dunk Hi Premium does shine a bit apart from the Lakers’ colors with its ulltralime radiance. A purple patent leather swoosh strikes through the black pebbled leather that wraps around the rest of the upper. Purple is also found on the nylon tongue and the contrast stitching bonding the sole to the upper. The other hits of color reside in the gum outsole and the ultralime tongue tag, laces, and lining.

These shoes are available now at The Good Will Out. Hit the jump for more pictures.

Nike Mad Jibe Mid

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 07:08 PM PST

Nike

Nike has released another colorway of its nautically inspired mid top. This Nike Mad Jibe Mid possesses an upper smothered in plush burgundy leather with perforations on the heel panel and toe box. The upper is anchored by a white midsole and gum outsole.

The burgundy and gum partnership just seems to fit. Maybe it’s a subconscious familiarity with the pairing of red wine and a cork. This shoe is now available at Nike retailers such as Proper.

New Balance 1400 New Arrivals

Posted: 30 Jan 2010 10:28 AM PST

New Balance 1400

We rarely see the New Balance 1400 model; yet, when it is released, you can expect a nicely designed sneaker for the most part (see DDC Lab x New Balance 1400, 1400 Suede Pack). Now, New Balance has release two new 1400s that are sure to turn a few heads.

One pair will feature a predominately bright red colored base comprised of suede (predominance of upper) and mesh (toe box, tongue). The other pair, shown here, owns a primarily dark green suede upper and does not contain any mesh areas. Both pairs also possess a grey New Balance logo (side panels), a white midsole and a black outsole. Both are now available at Mita.

Posted: 29 Jan 2010 06:43 PM PST

New Balance 1500

Earlier today, we showed you a few Solebox x New Balance 1500 & 670 Samples, and many of you were inquiring about release date information. While we await that news, New Balance has just released the 1500 “Season Spot” at select retailers such as Mita.

This sneaker features a similar color scheme to the 1500 we showed you in the New Balance mini-preview we showed you last week. It contains a simple color scheme using two different shades of blue and grey. The predominance of the base is done up in dark navy blue, while the off-white sole is highlighted with a lighter blue in minimal areas. This 1500’s grey sections, such as the mesh toe box, the tongue, the heel and the inner lining, give this shoe a nice color contrast. This shoe is definietly for those who favor the simple yet stylish look. Click here to view additional photos.

Nike Bespoke Air Force 1 by Phillip Papi

The Bespoke program at Nike iD offers a seemingly endless number of material and color options to fulfill a customer’s Air Force 1 desires, and it looks like Phillip Papi did his best to make use of as many as possible.

Brown crocodile is used as the majority, appearing on the toe, midfoot and heel panels. A hemp-like tan material fills in the remainder of the upper. Blue cross-hatched stitching secures the croc panels at the toe and heel. An orange suede Swoosh is surrounded by the same fuschia color on the tongue. For the sole, a purple midsole hooks up with a gum outsole. A teal heel tab is done with suede, adding yet another color to the mix. Do all these colors make for a complex masterpiece or an over-the-top mess? Head to the comments section and weigh in.
