Release Reminder  Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite
The Air Force 1 has been at center stage of the sneaker industry. We have seen some huge Air Force 1s as of late. The biggest Air Force 1s were part of the “World Basketball Festival” Collection. The “Foamposite” Nike Air Force 1 has been much anticipated for months. Ever since it first surfaced, people have been dying for a release date. We finally got the official release date about a week ago. However, some don’t like the Nike Air Force 1 “Foamposite”. I’m kind of on the fence with these. I will certainly not buy a pair.

Whether its Nike or Jordan Brand, we always got your back. So here’s a reminder. The Nike Air Force 1 “Foamposite” will release tomorrow, August 14th, for a price tag of $180.

Nike Air Max 247  Midnight NavyBlue LacquerMetallic Silver
A couple of Air Max models have taken over the Air Max line this year. The Air Max 90 and 95 have gotten the spotlight in 2010. The Infrared Air Max 90 was easily the most anticipated Air Max of 2010. With that release date behind us, we can now focus on more models part of the Air Max line. Well here we get a new colorway of the Nike Air Max 24/7. We saw a lot of the Air Max 24/7 earlier this year, but it’s been quite as of late.
This latest Nike Air Max 24/7 comes in a Midnight Navy/Blue Lacquer/Metallic Silver colorway. Most of the upper is constructed of midnight navy leather and mesh. Midnight navy also covers the toe, inner lining, heel and the tongue. Blue lacquer accents appear on the Nike swoosh, lace holders, tongue tag and the Air Max 360 sole. The sneaker also features a metallic silver 3M stripe, heel tab and lace panel. I just absolutely love this colorway. What do you think of this Nike Air Max 24/7? These are available now at Eastbay.

Nike Dunk High Dubai

Nike Dunk High Dubai
We have seen some really nice Nike Dunks over the years. We have seen beer inspired Dunks, cartoon inspired Dunks and all the other great stuff. I’m not sure if we’ve seen a country inspired Dunk high, but we get one here. Take a look at this Nike Dunk High. This Nike Dunk High is made for Dubai, one of the most luxury countries in the world. This “Dubai” Nike Dunk is packed with everything that Dubai has to offer.
The design is certainly a loud and eye-catching one. First, let’s focus on the areas of white. The toe box, collar area, tongue and outsole all use clean white. Black covers the midsole, toe, lace panels and the heel panel. Blue accents appear on the shoe laces, inner lining and contrast stitching. A unique blue graphic painting is placed on the mid-panel, while a “We Are Nike” laser design covers the entire back panel. To finish off the sneaker, Nike adds a bright gold Nike swoosh. This Dunk was a reward for Nike employees, so don’t expect to get your hands on these. What do you think?

Nike Blazer SP  Blue LacquerVarsity RedWhite
Yesterday we saw a Black/Photo Blue colorway of the Nike Blazer AC. That two toned Blazer featured Nikes favorite color of summer, blue. Well this latest Nike Blazer lacks no blue as blue is seen throughout. This Nike Blazer SP comes in a Blue Lacquer/Varsity Red/White colorway. This loud colorway of the Nike Blazer SP comes as no surprise. The Nike Blazer SP has only featured loud and eye-catching colorways this year, so Nike is sticking with that approach.
Blue Lacquer covers the most of the sneaker, including the inner lining, tongue, toe, lace panels and the toe cap. Clean white comes into place on the shoe laces, heel tab and the midsole. Varsity red appears on the tongue tag and the entire outsole. Most of the sneaker is constructed of smooth leather, while suede is also used throughout the design. I’m not a big fan of loud colorways, so I don’t really like this Blazer. What do you think of this Nike Blazer SP? These are available now at select Nike retailers such as Dr. Jays.

Release Reminder  Air Jordan VII Retro  For the Love of the Game
The World Basketball Festival has caused major mayhem the last couple of weeks. The biggest thing that came from the World Basketball Festival is the “For the Love of the Game” pack, which we have seen plenty of. The “For the Love of the Game” pack features some nice kicks, but none more anticipated than this Air Jordan VII Retro “For the Love of the Game”. This isn’t just any ordinary colorway, it’s an original colorway. The biggest change between this year’s retro and OGs is the “For the Love of the Game” logo which is seen on the heel area. Since it’s an OG colorway, it will receive more hype than new colorways. White covers most of the sneaker, including the toe and heel. Silver is seen on the lace panels, while red accents jump onto the inner lining and outsole. Navy blue and gold accents are also used and appear throughout the design. These will release tomorrow, August 13th, 2010, at select retailers for $150. Are you going to pick up a pair? Check out detailed images after the jump to get a better look.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro  Pearl  Release Info
I have been looking forward to many sneakers in late 2010. Of course I can’t wait for the cool grey 11s or the flint 13s, but the “Pearl” Nike Air Foamposite Pro is at the top of my list. We have seen many images of the Pearl Air Foamposite Pro, but we never got an official release date. Well sneakerheads you can finally sleep well as we now have the official release date of the “Pearl” Nike Air Foamposite Pro. The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl” will release on September 3rd, 2010, for a price tag of $200. $200 is a pretty hefty price tag for retail, but Nike does the same for most Foamposites. The shoe owns a nice white pearl upper constructed of nice foamposite material. Black covers the lace panels, shoe laces, tongue, inner lining and the Nike swoosh that goes across the side of the shoe. The sneaker is finished off with a nice icy outsole.

Nike Blazer AC  BlackPhoto Blue
Nike has fallen in love with photo blue. All throughout this summer, Nike has used photo blue on a number of their models. The Dunk and Air Max are just some models that Nike has touched with photo blue. Well once again, Nike uses photo on one of their most popular models. Take a look at this Nike Blazer AC as it comes in a Black/Photo Blue colorway. Photo blue is a great color, but if it’s used too much, it can really hurt a sneaker. However this Nike Blazer does a real nice job with the amount of photo blue it uses.
Most of the upper is covered with black premium leather including the midfoot and five straps. Head turning photo blue accents appear on the inner lining, swoosh border and the vulcanized sole. This Nike Blazer AC also features a black patent leather Nike swoosh. These are pretty nice, but I don’t think I would wear these. What do you think? This Nike Blazer AC is available now at select Nike retailers.

Nike Trainer 12 Mid  Chris Johnson Player Exclusive
Chris Johnson is arguably the best running back in the NFL. Last season, Chris Johnson was the leading rusher in the NFL last year, which is a very big accomplishment. Well Nike has decided to give Chris Johnson a very nice reward. Take a look at this Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid. This Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid was given to Chris Johnson as a Player Exclusive. A couple of other NFL players also received a Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid player exclusive. Both Troy Polamalu and Adrian Peterson received a Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid earlier in their careers.
The colorway of this Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid really took me by surprise as no Titans blue is placed on the sneaker. So with that said, this Trainer 1.2 Mid comes in a red/white colorway. Red covers the toe box, heel, side panels, tongue, strap and the outsole. White is put into use on the Nike swoosh, inner lining, midsole, top eyelet and the midsole. I have no idea why Nike used these colors for a Chris Johnson Player Exclusive. What do you think of this Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid?
