We’re gonna go ahead and call the Nike Air Max “Beaches of Rio” set the unofficial fourth entry in Nike’s “Home Turf” series. Landing far from the European spots like Milan, London, and Paris, the five sneakers instead wash up on the beaches of Rio De Janeiro.

Check out the full look below and tell us if you’re excited for the Nike WMNS Lunar Flyknit One “Multi-Color”.
The slightly redone Nike Air Force Max returned in 2013, with the All-Star ‘Area 72′ colorway whipping up some energy around the VT-molded Retro sneaker. This new Dark Grey colorway sorta shares the ‘grey’ profile of the All-Star, although this one opts for a minimal appeal with Wolf Grey and Black trimmings, but who knows – maybe the sneaker customizers will get their hands on these and use ‘em as a canvas.

The accent shade in use on this latest Nike Free Run Originals Tech Super is called Warning, as in, this is one super-bright orange that you’ll notice for sure.

Reebok is really crushing it with the retro models lately, adding to the old standbys everything from the 1990s basketball standouts to the classic running shoes that gave the brand a start back in the early days. One sign of the abundant variety they’ve offered in 2013 came last year when the first Reebok ERS 1500s were shown last year.

Revive Customs is back at it, once again going at a high-concept theme via the Nike Air More Uptempo. The pair, labeled as the Nike Air More Uptempo “Popular Myth and Destruction of Sodom”, was inspired by Revive’s own thoughts and opinions on the art world and what value custom sneakers Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 have in that scene.

The Cole Haan Lunargrand seems to be a favorite of Spike Lee’s, as he’s been spotted several times wearing the Lunar-ed out wingtips, saddles, and chukkas from time to time. It looks like he wanted to add some special flavor, so Revive Customs rose to the occasion and reworked a fragment design x Cole Haan Lunargrand Saddle in “Knicks” style, with orange soles, a royal blue upper with jersey material holes, and brown leather uppers. This special Birthday edition for Spike Lee is quite the follow-up to Revive’s amazing “1928″ custom editions that we showed you not long ago, and when seeing them on Spike’s feet when he was sitting courtside during Carmelo’s half-dollar against the Heat earlier this week, they look even better!

With pairs so popular at Target they’ve spawned a whole line for the big box retailer, it’s hard to imagine the Air Jordan One Star totally falling off the radar. But that’s exactly what happened a few years after the 1974 introduction, as the lowtop leather Chuck Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Taylor variation disappeared after a few seasons.

So with the Air Jordan 1 being such a hot item, Jordan Brand decided to give the ’85 original a sick outfit with Black patent leather and Metallic Gold trimmings. The color-combo isn’t new, however, because a Black/Gold Air Jordan 1 was done several years ago as a Retro and is also one of the rarest OGs if the Air Jordan 1.

The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Knicks” colorway that dropped in January was one of the best Retro pick-ups of the Spring season, but based on this sample of the Air Jordan 1 Mid, there could have been two colorways for Knicks fans to get down with.

Nike Sportswear has issued more suede Vintage Blazers than all other materials combined. Only once before has the series turned to canvas uppers, and it worked to great success with a couple of releases last spring. All of those were hightops, so it’s nice to have a new Nike Blazer Low VNTG Canvas release arriving at retail.

Design language from Air Jordans III and IV have once again come together on a new Jordan Brand release.

From the looks of the recent output from the ZX 700 series, you might think adidas is readying a ZX 703. That Northern Virginia area code would reflect the use of Washington Redskins-like color schemes we’ve seen of late, from the 700 earlier this summer, and now on the Mans Nike Free Run adidas Originals ZX 750. With NFL training camps in full swing, it’s natural to connect this burgundy, brown and yellow makeup with Three Stripes superstar RG3, and you can grab this third quarter release today at Originals retailers like Afew.
The Vans OTW Breton Boot is one of those many models that proves how far the label has come from just being a skate shoe company. The model is a premium one that stretches up the leg quite a bit, and doesn’t really have too much of their skate DNA leftover in its lines.

Arriving as the antithesis to the recent Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 bright bunch of Nike SB Dunk Mids including that from the “Beavis and Butt-head” group and the “Watermelon” is this, a muted black and brown pair.

See the whole preview below and stay tuned to find out when and where you can buy this Nike SB Dunk Mid.
Kristen Wiig made a surprise appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and she decided to don the classic 23 jersey and a bald cap to impersonate Michael Jordan.

What took you so long? That’s the question being asked of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Hologram” style, a shoe that’s got a close relative in the from of the Nike Hyperflight Max “Hologram”.

The Nike Lunar LDV Trail Mid uses lockdown ribbons stretching from the sole to the eyelets in much the same way we see Dynamic Flywire strands implemented on a variety of other recent Beaverton releases.

nike free run shoes The Free Run has quickly risen from bargain NSW option to one of the biggest cult hits of the year. You can attribute that to the combination of the easy-going Japanese-culture derived design and the generous $70 price-tag, and as long as Nike continues with that formula, the Nike Sportswear following will only continue to grow. Many Free Run fans have been waiting for the release of the womens ‘Camo’ joints, and although we’ve yet to see solid release information for those, a few pairs just became available for early picking (note, these are a women’s so account for that if you plan on copping). Another look at both colorways below, so take a look and head on over to the available listings from solefromearth99 on eBay.
nike free run 5.0 v2 We’d love to be wrong about exactly this kind of prediction, but barring some unforseen developments, the Nike Free Run is far and away the most pleasant surprise so far in 2012. Fans of its effortless blend of style and comfort will be pleased to know with both new colorways as well as Premium and Trail variations for the fall season, the Free Run will be about as busy as a two-toned design can possibly be.

nike free run 4.0 v3 The instant cult-classic status of the Nike Free Run has resulted in Nike throwing quite a bit more support behind the model with their varying styles splintering off from the beautifully simplistic OG.

nike free run 3.0 v4 For better or worse, 2012 was a defining year for the sneaker world and all that it encompasses. It was a year that saw certain shoes throw the laws of supply and demand so out of whack, that brands and retailers had to completely rethink the way they sell shoes to the public just to keep the peace. If you were willing to put in some legwork or, better yet, had the right connections, it was a banner year for sneaker enthusiasts. “Must-have” releases seemed to be at an all-time high and nearly every weekend offered up some sort of temptation for consumers. 2012 saw the release of some of the most eagerly anticipated and passionately sought-after sneakers the game had ever seen and it’s safe to say that things will never be the same again.
nike free run sale In between those, there were plenty of other desirable targets along the way, from the special limited editions and collaborations to beloved Retro returns and promising new designs and innovations. There were even a few certified sleeper hits that organically carved out their place among the year’s best releases. Due to an exponentially expanding consumer base and a heightened level of product awareness, you might not have been able to get your hands on every shoe you hunted for in 2012, but there was certainly no shortage of solid alternatives ripe for the picking in their absence.
nike air max 90 mens The Free Run has tremendous momentum as we approach the colder half of the year, and now we’ll see what the surprise hit of 2012 can do when the conditions get a bit more challenging. The Nike Free Run Trail takes the Free’s zenlike perfection up a few extra eyelets and utilizes ACG-leaning colorways and corded laces to give us a new style for fall as pleasantly surprising as the original’s spring debut. Expect these ripstop nylon Free Run Trail midtops to offer a bit more water resistance and warmth retention than the mesh forebear and get with Hanon‘s August 1st pre-order to secure your pair today.
air max shoes for men Complimentary colors like red and green or yellow and purple cancel one another out when combined, but practically vibrate with intensity when placed side-by-side. Blue and orange have a particularly synergistic appeal, which is one way of accounting for why colorways based in that pairing are often so pleasing. This new Nike Free Run is no exception, its design a perfectly balanced mixture of casual style and comfort with a sporty edge that’ll keep you coming back all summer. They’re out now at Nike Sportswear stores like Corporate and you can see more angles below.
nike air max mens shoes Dylan Raasch intended the Free Run to represent a zen-like balance of style, comfort and value, and now that we can include the attention of serious sneakerheads along with a variety of exciting new styles, this has become a design with some serious rookie of the year credentials.

All three are depicted in greater detail below, so let us know which ones could be a go-to for you this fall and stick with Sneaker News for US release info. Photos: mita sneakers
nike free run mens Is the Nike Free Run the absolute epiome of the term ‘lifestyle sneaker’? One could certainly argue in favor of that point, this new style carrying with it so many familiar characteristics we’ve come to know and love from the casual and/or comfy corners of the market. The Free has running in its name as well as its mesh bootie upper and a Free-inspired sole that’ll remind you of many a LunarLon-cushioned performance runner, but the shape has been altered to accommodate a bit of the chukka styling that’s been so prominent in the last few year’s boot infusion. Coming up next month are two pairs in black with your choice of tonal Swoosh/red sole or silver Swoosh/yellow sole, and you can see images of both after the jump before pre-ordering from CrookedTongues.
nike free run 4.0 v2 Sneaker News has been looking forward into Nike Sportswear’s summer 2012 collection in recent days and here’s another preview of what to expect from the Swoosh’s casual catalog in Q2. The Nike Free Run is pictured above in the kind of colorway you might expect from the colder months, but don’t make the mistake of missing out on the versatile quality bestowed by the greenish-brown Iguana upper. Particularly as combined with the white sole on this pair, they’re a perfect balance for bright reds, oranges and yellows, or you can take the hint from a neon footbed that’s easily this pair’s loudest feature. Click through to see those details and more after the jump and look for these at NSW retailers like Titolo in April.
nike free run 5.0 v4 The upcoming Nike Free Run is a bit of a tough sneaker to categorize. Generally the latest runners from the Swoosh are incorporated along the lines of a certain technology, be it Free or Lunar. These apparently feature neither, aiming for a most minimal design that we’d actually put closest to the Huarache line thanks to the bootie feel. Whether or not they’ve got the gumption for the lifestyle category will depend entirely on the available colorways, and looks like this black and pink are certainly a good step in that direction. Follow us after the jump for the full shots and let us know if you’d lace up in this runner, be it on or off the track.
