Me So x Nike Sportswear "Team France" Pack

Zinedine Zidane’s 2006 headbutt was one of the most talked about international sports moments in 2006. The French player would eventually be awarded the player of the tournament for the World Cup, despite having lost his cool. Nike, however, is helping bring “cool” back for Team France with this pack designed with artist So Me.

Like the other packs we’ve seen today, a Dunk High AC, Lunar Hyper-Ventilate and Air Max BW Gen II are included the in pack alongside multiple clothing items. The Dunks are red canvas with blue hits, while the Gen II bears an entirely blue upper. Handwritten font is used throughout the collection, as designed by the illustrator who helped with the pack.

Asics Gel Lyte III White/Grey-Yellow

The Asics Gel Lyte III has landed overseas in a brand new colorway. You can grab a pair now at Allike, and hopefully soon from an American retailer.

White is used as the base color on the toe, heel and midfoot areas. Dark grey fills in the quarter panel and the toe box as a shimmer sheen material, which matches the midsole accent. Yellow works its way in on the outsole, liner and the arch design surround. Finally, hits of black appear throughout, including the patent leather arches along the side.

The “Copper” Nike Air Foamposite released in limited numbers this past Saturday, February 13th, 2010. However, in case you missed this highly anticipated release, Nike has now restocked multiple sizes at its online store.

It is safe to say that if you miss the restock of this sneaker, it will be very hard to obtain this sneaker at a reasonable price afterwards. Is this the best release of 2010 so far?
