Nike Air Max Sweep Thru Amar’e Stoudemire PE

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 12:38 PM PDT

Nike Air Max Sweep Thru Amar'e Stoudemire PE

If you recall, New York Knicks power forward Amar’e Stoudemire debuted the newly designed Nike Ar Max Sweep Thru at the Nike Basketball Amar’e Stoudemire Skills Academy a couple of months ago. We now have another look at the yet-to-be-released Nike Air Max Sweep Thru in a new New York Knicks-esque color scheme. Stoudemire has stated that he loves basketball shoes with velcro straps, and this new model seems to be right up his ally. Orange and white straps appear on the midfoot area similar to the timeless Nike Air Raid model. The predominance of the upper is comprised of blue leather and features additional orange and white accents, which is reminiscent of his Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer PE. Look for the Nike Air Max Sweep Thru to hit retailers in multiple colorways during the months of October and November.

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 12:28 PM PDT

Air Jordan 5 Black/Varsity Red-Metallic Silver

Does it really need an intro? The Air Jordan 5 Black/Metallic Silver is about as classic as it gets. Fighter plane inspiration, icy outsole, 3M tongue; the list of notable features just goes on and on. The latest retro version of this one brings back all the nostalgia, as tomorrow sees it hit shelves like it was 1990 again. Though to be fair, the original didn't sport #23 embroidery. Either way, this undeniable Air Jordan can be yours starting tomorrow nationwide.
