To celebrate the upcoming March Madness, the Swoosh brand offers college basketball fans a variety of options to design their own Air Force 1s on its customization platform Nike By You.
Available in both High and Low silhouettes, sneakerheads will be able to dress the leather uppers with the college team colors for Duke, Ohio State, Villanova, Kentucky, Oregon, and Uconn. The High-top iteration features a striped nylon strap in matching school colors which secure the lockdown on the ankles.
Besides the sneakers, the packaging also includes Velcro patches of different University logos as well as Nike branding. The NCAA x Nike Air Force 1 By You will arrive on Nike.com on February 20.
Sneaker customizers XYLAR Studio has joined forces with Simple Union to remaster Jordan Brand‘s coveted Air Jordan 1 model with a Canadian tuxedo makeover.
Fully hand-crafted, the majority of this denim’d out AJ1 Retro Hi has been crafted from various colored vintage Japanese Indigo fabrics, while luxe lambskin leather has been used for the inner liner. Built entirely from scratch, each pair is entirely unique seeing the only remaining part from the original silhouette being the soles.
You can pre-order your own pair of handmade “Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi OG Indigo” on Simple Union’s site until February 28.
Since its debut in the early 2000s, Nike has been mixing-and-matching various textures and tones on the Air Max 95. This time around, the Swoosh brand offers an understated silhouette, coating the branding with deluxe materials.
Opting for a subtle black palette as the muted base color, this iteration features overlapping nubuck panels on the lateral sides. Hot red accents arrive on the jewel Swooshes and on the signature Air midsoles while the vintage “Air Max” motifs are embossed on the tongue tabs.
Pricing at $170 USD, the polished gem logo-appliqued Air Max 95 is set to drop in the coming months on Nike.com and at select retailers.
Nike opts for a more subtle palette to dress its new VaporMax Gliese model, toning down the luxurious gold-finished design of the first edition to accentuate the aggressive motifs.
Complementing the unworldly high-top silhouette with a touch of mysteriousness, the uppers are coated with an animal skin pattern underlaying the DT Max ‘96-inspired, rip mark-esque cages. Hits of white which appear on the wild motif, Swoosh insignias, as well as on the laces, juxtaposes nicely with the solid black base, while an eccentric “Nike Air” branding details the tongue tag. Giving the lifestyle sneakers a sporty aesthetic, VaporMax bubble units dressing the midsoles top off the look of this hybrid model.
The achromatic VaporMax Gliese is expected to hit Nike.com and select stockists very soon.
Late last year Nike officially debuted its forthcoming ISPA lineup filled with aggressive silhouettes including the React LW WR Mid and Air Max 270 SP SOE.
Now the sportswear giant is looking to extend its “Improvise/Scavenge/Protect/Adapt” offerings with the React WR ISPA model. Perfect for the modern city dweller living an active urban lifestyle, the React WR ISPA is a reconstructed React Element 87 which incorporates the same plugged-midsole of the coveted model, however adding a translucent TPE water-resistant upper. Notable features include an asymmetrical lacing system which reaches down to the midfoot, taped seams on the mid panel swathed in ISPA branding and vibrant Swoosh insignias on the medial portion.
Three colorways of the highly technical Nike React WR ISPA are set to land at select retailers and nike.com come February 23 in “Black/Metallic Silver,” “Summit White/Royal Blue,” and “Velvet Brown/Terra Orange.”
