In this video, we get a look behind the scenes at Undefeated Tokyo, thanks to a quick tour from team member Blake.

Blake shows off the selection available at the lone overseas UNDFTD location, which has now been open for around three years. It’s interesting to make note of the wide variety of footwear for sale at this location, which includes the Jordans you would expect, but also Visvim and luxury designer brands.

In Retrospect: Nike Trainer 1

In Retrospect: Nike Trainer 1

At the beginning of July 2009, Nike debuted the revolutionary Trainer 1, a sneaker that draws its technology cues from the iconic Nike Air Trainer. The performance-ready Nike Trainer 1 was designed to provide today's athletes with lightweight comfort and support. It ultimately kicked off the training trend we’re witnessing now as sneakers including the Nike Trainer SC 2010, the Nike Trainer 1.2 and the Nike Trainer 1.2 Hyperfuse have all followed.

Did you buy a pair of Nike Trainer 1s and was it worth the $90? If you did buy a pair, did this highly-designed sneaker aid your performance capabilities? How do you feel about the Nike Training sneakers that have followed? Lastly, was the Nike Trainer 1 one of your favorite releases of 2009? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Jordan Comfort Max 11 Detailed Photos

Jordan Comfort Max 11 Detailed Photos

Not only have detailed photos of the Jordan Comfort Max 11 surfaced, but today we’re getting a look at a new colorway that borrows from one of the more sought-after colorways of the Air Jordan 11: “Cool Grey.”

White mesh and Cool Grey patent leather comes together on the upper, and the heel gets a hit of Medium Grey on this pair. The midsole below is white and makes use of a gum outsole, as opposed to the icy version one would expect would accompany this colorway. The other pair we saw already, though these photos show it far better. Anthracite elephant print and a black base contrast against the Volt midsole and laces. If this hybrid a winner or blasphemy relative to the legacy of the two sneakers combined to create it?

Nike Air Max 95 Neutral Grey/Photo Blue

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 10:28 AM PDT

Nike Air Max 95

Photo Blue, a colorway that has found its way on many 2010 Nike releases (see Nike Zoom Kobe V “Miles Davis”), is spotted on this newly-released Air Max 95 in the form of laceholders, Nike branding and visible Air sole unit. The predominance of the base features multiples shades of grey in a gradient design cue much like the majority of Air Max 95 colorways we’re used to seeing. Lastly, a black sole and a white inner lining, complete this 95s construction. If you recall, Nike released a very similar Air Max 95 colorway in 2003 that was well-received by many. The Nike Air Max 95 Neutral Grey/Photo Blue is now available at JD Sports.

Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8 Grey/Black-Red

Posted: 02 Jul 2010 09:58 AM PDT

Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8

During the spring, Nike released some very well-designed colorways of the Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8. Last week, we showed you a black and orange pair of Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8s that many readers expressed positive opinions for. This week, a new pair of Nike Lunar Presto Rejuven8s has surfaced in a black/grey-red colorway. The shoe makes great use of grey mesh throughout the upper, while black can be seen on the extended lace eyelets/support system, toe cap, tongue tag, and inner liner. Nike logo branding is done minimally, while a white midsole keeps the shoe looking simple. This pair has already released oversees but might make a stateside debut soon. View detailed photos below.
