Nike Zoom Barcelona

Posted: 13 Mar 2010 12:28 PM PST

Nike Zoom Barcelona

Nike Basketball has a slew of nice sneakers set for a summer release including the Nike Air Max Hyperize and the Nike Hyperfuse. In addition, Nike Basketball will also unleash the newly-designed Nike Zoom Barcelona.

If you recall, we showed you a preview of this shoe this past fall; however, we now have additional photos of this upcoming sneaker. The Nike Zoom Barcelona pays tribute to the Air Ballistic Force High that David Robinson wore in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Seeing that this shoe has everything to do with the USA team, it possesses sort of a red, white and blue color scheme. The upper is mainly white with multiple blue panels on the base. Its most glaring attributes include gold hints such as the swoosh border and Nike branding on the midfoot strap. Check out its gradient-like design on the midsole. What are our thoughts on the Nike Zoom Barcelona? Click here to view detailed photos.

Nike Sportswear Air Feather

Last week, we notified you of the Nike Air Griffey Max GD II re-releasing later this month. Although a lot of us will agree that this shoe is not better than the Nike Air Griffey Max 1, it is still good to see Nike dig into the vault and pull out some classics. With that said, Nike will release yet another colorway of the Air Griffey Max GD II during this upcoming holiday season.

The Nike Air Griffey Max GD II, a simple yet stylish training sneaker, features a full-length Air max sole unit combined with a 100% leather upper; it has been stated that this is one of the more comfortable Griffey sneakers ever created. As for this colorway, it features a mainly black colored upper with royal blue hints on the outsole, swoosh (collar area) and on the swingman logo (tongue). As stated earlier, look for this sneaker to hit retailers during the holiday season.

New Balance MTG580 Gore-Tex

New Balance MTG580 Gore-Tex

New Balance goes in on their MTG58 Gore-Tex model with a vengeance. An MA-1 flight jacket inspires this olive/orange colorway.  The make-up then takes the inspiration a step futher by adding Velcro to the branding of the shoe. The medial and lateral “N” stamps may be stripped and replaced with an olive or orange Velcro-backed “N.”

The material composition of the shoe consists of a leather and Ripstop skin that veils the Gore-Tex underlining. These newbies should start filtering into retailers in July 2010. Hop by the lead for more high-res photos.

Kick Ass x Vans Era

Vans linked up with the team behind Kick Ass to throw together this Kick Ass x Vans Era. If you’re not already familiar, Kick Ass is a Michael Vaughn comedy that will hit theaters on April 16.  The shoe dons a green/yellow colorway-inspired by the superhero suit of Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s character. Solid green canvas covers the toe panel, a yellow “Kicks Ass” all over print hits the mid panel, and the heel panel is branded with one stamp.

Today, Vans will be hosting a signing with the Kick Ass cast at their store in Austin, TX. The signing will be from 5-6 pm. 100 pairs of this shoe were produced. They will not be sold, unfortunately. Flip by the lead for more images.

Reebok Pump Omni Lite Black/Citron/RBK Red

Reebok continues with their Pump 20th Anniversary campaign. This time they choose to celebrate Pump nostalgia by offering the Pump Omni Lite in the Black/Citron/RBK Red colorway. The Omni Lite has long been a prominent model within the Pump series. Furthermore, the Citron colorway is regarded among enthusiasts and thereby canonized as a signature Reebok colorway.

The material covering the upper is a medley of regular, textured, and patent leathers as well as select hits of mesh. The most unique of the materials-the textured leather-wraps around the toe and possesses a spotted finish. Reebok offers a finishing touch with the metal Pump trinket that dangles on a chain looped through the top eyelet.

These shoes are now available at Extra Butter. Hit the jump for more photos.

Nike Lunar Mariah Pink/Neon Yellow

A look into the near future for Nike Sportswear showed that the Nike Lunar Mariah would be releasing in a new orange and blue colorway, and also that the classic Air Mariah will return.

Today, we get a sneak peek at yet another color-up of the Lunar Mariah that can be expected in the coming months. Bright pink mesh and nubuck compose the upper, which dons white Swooshes and a white liner. The Lunarlite sole is a vivid shade of neon yellow, just in case the pink upper didn’t draw enough attention to the shoe.
