When the other colourway dropped last week, you knew it was only a matter of time before the other shoe fell, so to speak.  Both pairs of the Nike ACG Terminator Hybrid celebrate two decades of All Conditions Gear by altering a classic basketball shoe.  Sporting a black and pink colourway, the Terminator Hybrid features water resistant and lightweight Clima-Fit breathable technology and a rugged Free-like sole.  These joints are out now at Nike Sportswear retailers like Standard.

Perhaps overshadowed by other outstanding efforts from the Swoosh, the Nike Skateboarding line has taken something of a backseat, at least relative to its normal place at the head of Beaverton’s dinner table.  There’s a bunch of hype creeping up for Summer 2009 and beyond, so we have to be careful to stay in the now.

Ironically enough, these aren’t *technically* available now, though they will be in a matter of days.  Sporting a plaid ankle/heel and Kevlar-tipped laces, these seem at first glance like a conservative outfit condensed to a midtop vamp.  Upon further inspection, we see a 90′s era skater, and the inspiration is clear: much like the JNCO-style elephant leg jean shorts worn by that character, plaid was a mainstay of the early part of last decade’s fashion.  Plaid stuck it out, but you’ll look more current rocking these with skinny denim after you check the pics and then cop them from PTNC.  Just remember to wear them with solid colours

Last time we saw this take on the Nike KD1, it was an artist’s depiction.  Little ad libbing here, as Nike Basketball sticks to the script for one of the best colours of one of their premier models.

Back in all black, the KD1 features a carbon fibre insert with the “kd” logo in the same orange we see on the outer Swooshes.  They are laid atop a suede upper, but the inside contains a twist as superficial as Shyamalan: a photo blue swoosh atop patent leather.  Either side features an array of arched stitches: blue on the inside and yellow fading down to orange on the outside.  All this atop a blue sole equates to a winner Durant’s Oklahoma City Thunder fans might not see for years to come.  As for now, take a look at the other angles after the jump, then shoot over to Shoe-Planet to order.

The jury is still out on the Air Jordan Force IV (AJF 4) Fusion from Jordan Brand that fuses the Air Jordan IV with the Air Force 1, while we’ve shown you pictures of both the “Fire Red” pair and “Cement” pair, we now have some updated clean photos of the “Cement” pair whose official colors are Black, Varsity Red, and Cement Grey. While the original renderings that were posted across message boards and sneaker blogs showed the AJF 4 having a heel Air Unit, it appears that the actual pair will not, although all this could change when the shoes are released in the second half of this year. This “Cement” pair features a Black suede upper which is fused with a White midsole and a Grey outsole. Stay tuned for more details around the release of the shoe and it’s retail price. Another note, the above is an adult sample size 9 and not a kids sizes.

Nike Blazer SB – Green Orange

A few days ago, we saw a small preview of 2009 second quarter Nike SBs but all the photos were from a distance, Vagant just posted some close ups. The selection is made up of the core Nike Skateboarding models including, the Dunk Low SB, Dunk Mid SB, Dunk High SB and Blazer SB. Even for a distance, the green and orange Blazer SB was well liked and for good reason now that we see them upclose. The selection of Dunks are well designed with simple colorblocking and good material choice. Via Vagant

Wanna look a bit fresher than Stash did at last month’s launch even for his collabo with Lacoste?  Look no further than another project from the graffiti legend, this time in conjunction with another European power.

As we showed you back in November, Stash has laid his personal touch upon another pair of Clarks Originals flagship model, the Wallabee.  We mistakenly reported that these joints are canvas but have found that the traditional suede upper is actually in use atop the signature crepe rubber sole.  Whatever the fabric, these joints are ready for you now: some sizes at STLESS, the whole slew to follow soon at Britain’s own SCHUH.  Good look to SnkrFrkr on the UK drop.

Air Max fans have been having a great ear thus fair, and we aren’t even past January.  Here’s another perforated Air Max 90, but mixed up with some dope neon colors as opposed to the last two perforated Air Max 90 Current pairs that were done up in very neutral tones.  This pair features a neon green out-sole with neon pink around the Nike Air bubble, which is filled in with neon green.  The upper is mostly constructed with a perforated, black suede with neon green on the Swoosh and heel along with neon pink around the laces and on the Air Max logo on the side.  No word on how widely these will be released, but they are available now at Caliroots.

You may recognize the above sneaker as the shoe that made sneaker heads around the world wonder what it was when Kanye West rocked them on his international tour a while back.  These are the Ato high top sneakers made out of cow hide and done up with a nice use of patent leather straps and a unique design.  The shoe pictured above features grey, yellow, blue and orange spread throughout the sneaker.  The top of the toe-box and front strap are both light blue while the back streap and heel /ankle area is colored yellow and orange.  Grey is used on the rest of the shoe to contrast the dope color scheme and materials.  A second colorway can be seen below featuring black, green and purple.  Both pairs are available now at Revolution.

The Air Tailwind 90 has been a very successful launch with the past two releases. While those were the most talked since they were original colorways, the Varsity Royal, Flint Grey, White and Black colorway is just as deserving. The upper features white leather and grey felt along with black mesh on the side panels and white mesh on the toebox. The best part is of course the outdoors inspired speckled midsole and the hint of royal on the swoosh. Look for these now at Nike Sportswear retailers and nikestore.com.

When first greeted with the list: “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Hoosiers,” and “Teen Wolf”, you might think that they’re old films, you might think that Nike did another shout-out to a Michael J. Fox movie — these guesses are only part of the story.  True fans of those films can point out that all three depend on basketball to move along their stories.  While “Hoosiers” is the one that first comes to mind, roundball is equally important for all three plots.

This time, we see detailed pics of the Nike Dunk Low Premium inspired by MJF’s Scott Howard from “Teen Wolf”.  Inspired by the title character and his Beacon Town highschool basketball team uniforms, these joints rock a yellow and obsidian colourway with a black toebox.  Unmentioned, but perhaps most notable is the brown fir on the ankle and tongue.  Take a look after the jump, then cop one of the super-limited 72 pairs from OSneaker or any House of Hoops location.

Since the early days of Nike AGC (All Conditions Gear), the Light British Tan suede has been a very official color/material option. With the ACG 20th Anniversary this year, Nike recently released Vintage models of the Nike Air Approach Vintage, and Nike Air Magma Vintage. With the above, it seems Nike is taking the classic color combination and mashing it in with the Air Pegasus and a ACG sole to create the Air Pegasus Hiking Boots Hybrid. Look for these now at Nike Sportswear retailers and on nikestore.com as well.

Color: Light British Tan/Light British Tan-Varsity Red
Style: 343741-221

Vans continues to pay tribute to beloved music acts on their sneakers and this collaboration may be their edgiest yet. Legendary skate-punk/hardcore/metal band Suicidal Tendencies has been bringing their own style to the masses since the early 80′s and has skateboarding street cred to spare.  As a result, Vans has decided to honor the pioneering Venice, California shredders with their own signature Vans Era model.

The shoe will be released in both blue and black colorways featuring embroidered markings reminiscent of frontman, Mike Muir’s trademark bandanas, as well as what looks to be lyrics on the inner sole scribbled in classic Suicidal style. Both colors are available now at Caliroots in addition to 2 matching t-shirts, a hat and a belt.
