Parra x Nike Air Max 1 Burgundy Detailed Photos

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 12:43 PM PST

Last year, a group of Nike Air Max 1s designed in Amsterdam impressed enough of the right people to deserve the number two spot on Complex’s Top 10 of 2009. Those four were attributed to the team members at Patta of course, but it is their neighbor and close associate, artist Parra, who is behind this Burgundy pair, which are set to release March 13th.

This shoe became a fan favorite the second it hit the web. We’ve taken numerous looks at these shoes, but this is the first time we’ve had a detailed look. From the looks of it, the burgundy suede that appears on the mudguard, quarter panels, heel and forefoot is of a premium grade. Mesh fills in the remainder of the upper in a matching hue. To match the laces, eyelets and medial Swoosh logos, a bit of the outsole is the same color. Red and yellow are also used on parts of the outsole. Finally, the carpeted Parra tag on the tongue further separates these from your everyday Air Max 1s.

Nike Dunk High AC Black/White-Pine Green

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 11:58 AM PST

The Nike Dunk Hi AC lineup was nothing less than a hit in the sneaker community when it released last September. Although it was a tier zero release, there were many that tried to get their hands on those sneakers. We have now spotted a new Nike Dunk Hi AC colorway at Patta.

This particular Nike Dunk Hi AC features a similar colorway to the black AC Dunks in the aforementioned lineup; yet, there are a few differences. The black canvas base gives way to white shoelaces, a white swoosh and what seems to be white and green patta branding on the tongue. It is also finished with a white, vulcanized rubber sole and a pine green line just above. As stated earlier, this Dunk Hi AC is now available at Patta.

Nike Air Zoom Tiempo “England” & “Brazil”

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 09:43 AM PST

Yesterday we alerted you to the availability of the Nike Air Zoom Tiempo in White/Black-Red. It turns out that shoe is the “England” shoe designed for this upcoming World Cup. We’re following that now with not only a closer look at that colorway, but also with a look at the pair designed for Brazilian players and fans.

The English pair is covered in leather on the forefoot, quarter panel and heel areas. Off-white suede surround the midfoot area, while red accents appear throughout. On the underside of the tongue, the James Jarvis-designed logo for the Sportswear Pack appears. On the “Brazil” shoe, grey is utilized in the same material makeup as the other shoe, while green works as an accent. Artist Nunca’s work can be found on its tongue’s underside.

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 08:58 AM PST

A lot of you fell in love with Dwyane Wade’s “2010 NBA All-Star” Air Jordan 2010 PE and rightfully so. The same can be said about Carmelo Anthony’s “West All-Star” Air Jordan 2010 PE. However, Dwyane Wade laced up arguably one of the better Air Jordan 2010s we have seen to date. Check out today’s Kicks On Court to see this new PE.

In a win against the Golden State Warriors, Dwyane Wade laced a very familiar-looking Air Jordan 2010. At a first glance, his new PE looks exactly like the “W3LCOME HOME” Air Jordan 2010 we showed you last week. Dwyane’s PE contains a primarily white-colored with a red toe area and a black inner lining just like the “W3LCOME HOME” Air Jordan 2010; however, there are a few differences between the two. Wade’s PEs consequently feature his last name along the midfoot area, while the W3lCOME HOME pair features MJ’s last name. In addition, Wade’s PE also owns a red outsole and a red 23/25 logo whereas the W3LCOME HOMEs possesses the elements in black. What are your thoughts on Dwyane’s new Air Jordan 2010 PE?

Nike Trainer 1 Unleashed on Nike iD

Posted: 03 Mar 2010 08:13 AM PST

The DiamondFLX sole is one of the defining characteristics of the Nike Trainer 1. With its high level of flexibility and light weight, it was the favorite aspect of the shoe to many athletes and sneakerheads. Still, many people yearn for the cushioning and support of an Air Max sole. To oblige both parties, Nike iD has added the Trainer 1 Unleashed Mid and Low to its repertoire with the option to utilize the Max Air 360 bag from the Air Max 2009.

Like we’re used to seeing with Nike iD products, a plethora of colors is available for each and every panel. Beyond just the colors, this silhouette may have been privileged to the largest palette of options for the actual construction of the shoe. As mentioned above, two sole options are available, but you also have the option to add a forefoot strap to your custom shoes just over the lowest lace loop. For nearly a decade, shoes have been able to be personalized with colors and additional touches, but allowing such dramatic structural changes should take the iD platform to a new level. With so many options, you’re bound to be able to put together something you like. Click here to design your own.
