Nike recently teamed up with Liberty again on another Dunk High, this new release combines a number of different Liberty patterns on the upper of the Dunk High as opposed to the single pattern that we saw on the two pairs released back in April. In addition to using the Liberty fabrics, this colorway was created together with Sofia Coppola’s Japan based Milkfed. The upper uses at least four different fabric patterns from the London based Liberty, and when pieced together it definitely gives the shoe a bolder look. Additionally the shoes feature Nike Zoom Air to give the shoes more cushion and a smoother ride when wearing it. For the ladies out there who have been looking for these, you can find them now at nikestore.com.
Style: 327075-741
Color: Twine/Varsity Royal-Sail

As a part of the Nike 1World Air Force 1 project, the brand looked to work with 18 different influencers across the world. Three different regions were looked to to provide the influencers including, the US, Europe, and Asia. Europe has already seen a couple influencers release their 1World Air Force 1′s including Busy P, Booba, and Marok. Now it’s time for another native of Berlin, Feride Uslu, to collaborate with Nike on the 1World project. Uslu whose brand Uslu Airlines is known for various collaborations with some of the world’s finest brands but more so for their high quality nail polish.
Uslu Airlines was inspired coincidentally by airplanes and the airport for their Air Force 1. Sheep lining is used on the sneaker as it’s the same material used for the pilot seats in an airplane. The logo on the tongue of the shoe uses Green because it’s the same color on all the aviation towers and neon for the uniform color that is worn by airport employees. The shoe laces are White with a Pink stripe going through to represent the cords of a parachute. Wood Wood Berline will bethe first store to release this shoe on April 3rd after which the sneaker will be available at select Nike Tier 0 accounts worldwide on April 11th.

Like the Pau Gasol PE from earlier, we also showed you Carlos Boozer’s personalized Hypermax last month. Thanks to these new images, you can get a better look at some of the finer details of Boozer’s kicks from the Utah Jazz inspired colorway to the “C BOOZ” signature on the heel and everything in between. Visually, everything seems to come together nicely on this player exclusive model and it does’t hurt that they are surprisingly lightweight and well constructed for battling in the paint. Just like the Gasol Hypermax, these unreleased samples are just begging for a retail release, but that doesn’t seem likely. The fact is that the only place you’re going to find them is at osneaker, so you’d better act fast.

Last month, we showed you a look at Pau Gasol’s Nike Air Hypermax PE and now we bring you some new detailed images. Gasol’s feet have been looking good this season while putting in work for the Lakers. The purple and yellow color scheme always seems to pop and this Hypermax model is no exception. With its high cut, full Air Max sole unit and ankle strap, this shoe is built for big man performance, providing excellent cushioning and stability. If you want to show your Laker pride or you just dig the colorway, you can get yourself a pair exclusively at osneaker. These kicks are unreleased and very rare, so don’t sleep or you’ll miss your chance.

At this point, he iconic Nike Air Force 1 has seen itself remixed and reinterpreted so many times that perhaps the next move is to go back to basics. Three of the four upcoming Air force 1 models use a simple classic approach, while the fourth proves that there is still plenty of room for evolution. A white/black mid and white/maize and white/red low models take the Air Force 1 back to a simpler time when a different colored Swoosh or outsole on a white leather base was about as different as the shoe got. Now things are different and we’ve become so spoiled by countless wild colorways and crazy limited edition drops that these classic-looking styles seem like a breath of fresh air.
That said, the other new Air Force 1 is a very unique and imaginative style for the ladies that shows the infinite possibilities of using the same white leather upper as a canvas space for cool graphics. This women’s low model features a white on white color scheme with a metallic silver flower design covering the rear half of the upper. Whether you feel compelled to go back to basics or further into the future, the new Air Force 1′s should have you covered. Check out the release info after the jump or visit our Air Force 1 release page for more upcoming drops.

When you think of reflective sneakers, 3M probably comes to mind 99 times out of 100. If you’ve got your ear to the streets, the other time would be the stunning glass bead-embedded fabric made by DDCLAB in Schoeller, Switzerland. Adding another innovative fabric to the NB credits are the New Balance 420 Schoeller See-Thru Pack. Instead of a reflective fabric, these feature an underlay of ‘Spirit’, a dope new textile with an interesting semi-transparent/translucent effect. When looking at these pictures, it’s only partialy obvious because the ribbed fabric has a colour of its own, but when worn, the Spirit underlay will reveal the colour of its owner’s socks or skin. Take a look through at all the pics after the jump furnished by the fine folks at Freshness, then cop one, two or all three from select New Balance Lifestyle collection retailers.

It looks like there’s no cause for alarm with the whole padded tongue fiasco: the latest two pairs of Nike SB Dunk Lows we’ve seen have been stuffed to the gills, just like we like ‘em. Despite the success of your author’s email campaign to Beaverton along with outcry from sneakerheads all over the ‘net, it seems like some folks are happy to hate on the Swoosh’s skate division. Lack of originality, they cry. For a variety of reasons, these pics are likely to be similarly polarizing.
The Nike SB Dunk Low inspired by 1980′s cult classic ‘The Toxic Avenger’ have surfaced before, but we held off on posting the pics, because frankly, they weren’t very clear. These still don’t show the entire shoe, but we’re getting a better feel for these with the latest round of images. Featuring a Barf-like combination of rusty red and brown, these find accents in a bright red Swoosh and two different shades of ‘toxic’ neon green on the midsole and outsole. You needn’t fret about the flat laces or skinny tongue — these are clearly samples. Set to drop in late 2009, we’ll have plenty more photos and info for you in an attempt to stuff mops into the mouths of all the naysayers. via NikeSB.org

It seems that holidays always make great excuses for themed sneaker drops. The Nike Air Force 1 has received a few Easter looks over the years, but this year’s model sports some nice new touches that hammer the holiday point home even further. As expected, the shoe uses a seasonal palette, adding colorful pastel pink, yellow and blue accents to a white leather base. Aside from just the color scheme, this Easter edition goes the extra mile, using Easter egg graphics on the tongue label and a swirling metallic design on the heel that could possibly be inspired by the fake grass in an Easter basket or maybe just egg decorations. These fun springtime kicks are available now at kicksHI.
