Big Nike High   Flintstones Pack   Dino + Fred Flintstone

Nike just released a Flintstones Pack featuring a set of Big Nike High, one designed with inspiration from Dino, the family’s pet dinosaur and one for the main character Fred Flintstone. The pack was released at the House of Hoops with little notice and was mentioned to have been very limited. The Dino Big Nike High features a purple suede upper along with Dino’s spotted pattern on the side panel. The Fred Flintstone Big Nike High features a white and orange color scheme matching of his apparel in the show and features the pattern from  his clothing. They are available at House of Hoops now but as these are pretty limited, chances are they have already been sold out. Thanks very much to New York Consignment.

Nike RT1 High   Black   Azure   Dark Grey   Available

A couple weeks ago, we gave you a sneak peek at this new colorway of the Nike RT1 High and now they are starting to pop up for sale. With that comes new pictures, and as you can see, this colorway definitely livens up what was already a nice silhouette. This RT1 High features a Black nubuck upper with a Dark Grey toe box and Azure accents on the tongue, side panel, lining and outsole. A White Swoosh and midsole finish off the color combo, making this RT1 the most striking colorway yet. As previously stated, these will be hitting select retail spots soon, but you can already pick up a pair on eBay.  Photos: 95Soleman.

Nike Blazer 2K9   Varsity Royal   Mean Green   Huarache Inspired

The classic blue/green Air Huarache colorway has recently shown up on a number of Nike models such as the Air Force 1, Air Max 90 and Zoom Sharkley. Now it’s back to spice up the Blazer 2K9 model. The shoe is an updated version of the Nike Blazer that is much more basketball-ready than the original design nowadays. This version sports a striking Varsity Blue upper with Black and White accents and some show stealing Mean Green highlights on the laces and heel branding as well as the Huarache-inspired tongue label. These kicks are available now on eBay and you can check out some more pics after the jump. Photos: Ice-Sole.

Nike Womens Air Max 1   Safari Pack

Back in February, we previewed the Nike Women’s Fall 2009 Collection of Air Max 1′s that follows a similar theme to the Men’s pack that will be releasing soon. The inspiration for these Women’s Air Max 1′s came from Nike’s notorious, Safari print, which is seen on the upper of all four of these Women’s Air Max 1′s. All four use a monochromatic color blocking scheme on the shoes, the four different colors include, Black, White, Red, and Purple. Available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers now including Proper.

Nike WMNS Blazer High   Platinum   Glass Blue

Don’t look now, but those funky Blazer colorways just keep on coming. This new women’s model sports a very interesting look to help it separate itself from the pack. These kicks feature a Platinum upper that is covered with a textured design that resembles the veins of a leaf. A beautiful shade of Glass Blue can be seen on the Swoosh, tongue and toe as well as on the lining and toe cap. Rounding out the color scheme are a Volt tongue label and laces and there is just a touch of red on the tongue and the contrast stitching on the Swoosh. Ladies willing to be a little on the bold side can pick up a pair of these now on eBay.

Reebok Pump Omni Lite   7 Deadly Sins Pack Part Two

With the first three already available stateside, let’s take a look at what to expect from the rest of Reebok’s Seven Deadly Sins Pack of Pump Omni Lites.  As with the first set, these are all bright tonal colourups made of a combination of suede plus solid and striped leathers.  Pink/red, orange/yellow, blue and teal editions represent wrath, gluttony, lust and envy, respectively.  These will drop soon at Reebok retailers, including atmos.

Air Jordan III (3) D   Dre Bly PE Football Cleats

UNC alum Dre’ Bly has benefitted from his Tobacco Road connections and sports some of the sickest football cleats we’ve ever seen. This pair of Air Jordan III (3) D cleats never saw the field, as they have no markings.  They also have only scant reminders of Jordan Brand/Nike (there’s a Swoosh on the lower heel and that crazy metallic silver outsole plus a Jumpman on the insole).  You can grab these in US mens size 11 on eBay.

Nike Skateboarding (SB)   July 2009 Releases

There’s still a week and a half left in June, so it’s almost time for next month’s drops from Nike SB.  Of the four we see here today, three are relatively subdued, with the Blazer High stealing the show.  That Blazer, pictured above, comes in a crazy mix of neon green suede and leathers plus a bright red/pink hue appropriately dubbed ‘pimento’.  Beside those in the photo above are the little brother of last year’s Griptape SB Dunk Mids, a simple mix of black and white that contrasts suede with griptape on the side panels.  Along for the ride is the first non-Supreme SB Bruin, also in black/white, plus the Janoski in tonal browns.  You can expect other releases in the near future, but these four are already available from Flatspot.

Air Jordan Force IV (AJF 4)   White   Varsity Red   Black   Available

Say what you will about Fusions, but this Air Jordan Force IV is hard to bash too much. Aside from the midsole and some minor tweaks, the shoe is basically the spitting image of the Air Jordan IV in a long-admired OG colorway. We have a feeling that a lot of Fusion-haters will be making an exception for these, and even if you’re not going to spend your money on them, maybe you can at least acknowledge that this is easily one of the best-looking Fusion models to date. If you’re among those who are looking forward to the AJF 4 collection, be advised that these kicks have already hit eBay. Keep reading after the jump for a look at some more images.

NYLON Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk High Pack   Today @ 21 Mercer St.

We don’t blame you for being confused by the NYLON Magazine x Nike Sportswear Dunk High Pack.  First, they were slated to be released at Urban Outfitters and other select NSW retailers.  Then, word came that they were limited to a pair in each of the five neon colours, and those would be auctioned off to benefit a Mexican charity.  Only a day after that announcement, we learned that the pink and green pairs dropped as UO exclusives.  Now, it’s finally time for this saga to end, as the collection is set to complete with a release at the NSW flagship at 21 Mercer St. in NYC.  The orange, blue and yellow pairs will release (and likely sell out) this morning, so if you’re in the area, run over and grab a pair or three while you have the chance.
