Nike’s act of attaching a Blazer-like vulcanized rubber sole to a couple of its early ’90s classics has grabbed alot of attention of late. Here, the Nike Auto Flight High appears in its ‘Football Club’ Pack edition. You might remember this colourway from a pair of Air Max Triax 94s we showed you last week. Both feature red uppers with red and yellow accents. The Auto Flight has a rich suede design and perforated side panels for a nice contrast. As with the Triax 94s, these have a soccer-like shield emblem on the tongue. MentalKicks had a couple sample pairs but they already sold out, so look for these in Spring 2010. via euKicks

The Nike Dunk High gets its fair share of creative looks and here is the latest. This Dunk High Premium appears to follow the lead of the Air Force 1 that we showed you earlier today, using the splattered Air Tech Challenge-esque “lava” print on the heel section. In addition to the splatter design on the black heel panel, these kicks also feature a dark pink and light grey upper with a bright pink Swoosh and tongue and a red outsole and laces. The interesting combination of colors combined with the lava design on the back makes this one of the most intriguing Dunks seen in a while and being that it’s a Premium release, you know that the materials will be of the highest quality. Maybe those Union Dunks laid the groundwork for this concept, but the shoe definitely has some personality of its own. Look for these at Nike retailers in the next few weeks, stay tuned to Sneaker News additional release info.

We’ve already showed you a Dunk Low and High from the upcoming East vs. West collection that make use of a speckled Black/Volt theme and now we get a look at another version that takes the concept to the extreme. This Dunk High features a Black upper that is completely covered by the speckled Volt design. The shoe also sports a solid black midsole and a Volt tongue label and laces. These eye-catching kicks are expected to hit shelves some time in December, so we’ll keep you posted on details as the release approaches. Keep reading after the jump for a look at these kicks from multiple angles. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

The Nike Court Force has seen some fresh Retro release over the years, but in comparison to some other classic Nike models, it still remains pretty underappreciated. Hopefully this Court Force Basic pack can help make more of a lasting impression on those who have slept on the style for all this time. This pack features both a high and low model, both with a grid pattern used on the uppers. The Court Force Low features a red and black upper with a white midsole and highlights, while the Court Force High model sports a slick royal blue and black combo, also with a white midsole. Both are expected to hit select Nike retailers this fall, but you can already pre-order a pair now from Atmos.

We just saw an amazing carbon fibre edition of Kobe Bryant’s new secondary sneaker, and here’s a look at some more colourways from LeBron’s.

Terrell Owens may have signed with the Buffalo Bills this offseason, but this pair of Jordan Brand cleats commissioned for him while playing for the Dallas Cowboys are where it’s at. The Air Jordan VI (6) Mid TD cleats pictured above stay true to America’s Team colours, featuring a navy blue suede base atop which a white leather overlay is applied. The absolutely amazing metallic silver outsole does well to round out the palette. These are available in TO’s size 14 from eBay. Photos via ISC

Though some have thoughtlessly dismissed it as an imitation of the similarly strapped Air Jordan VIII (8), the Nike Air Raid is known to astute sneakerheads as a legend in its own right. Reebok had its ‘Blacktop’ collection for outdoor ballin’ in the early ’90s, so Phil Knight commissioned Tinker Hatfield to do up a streetball sneaker for the Swoosh. The Air Raid dropped in 1992, and was retroed last year, including one that took part in the Urban Jungle Pack. That version opted for a white upper, inverting the original (pictured above, top-right). We found a dope little site dedicated to archiving all things Air Raid, so open a new window and point it to Air-Raids.com

(Left) 2005 version, (Right) 2009 version
A few weeks back, images emerged of a Gucci-looking Dunk High Supreme that featured some ostrich skin leather and a gum sole. As happy as people were to see it, it really just made most of them long for the feverishly anticipated Quickstrike re-release of the Nike SB version that much more. To the delight of many, it looks like it’s finally going to happen this winter and here are some sample pics of what the shoe will look like. As you will see, there have been some slight changes made to the ultra-rare 2005 edition.
The 2009 version will feature less fraying around the edges of the denim and also uses a smoother leather on the upper. Also, the new release will sport a fatter tongue, SB laces and a black heel tab instead of a red one. After the jump, you can see some more photos of the 2009 Gucci Dunk SB as well as a side by side comparison with the original. Stay tuned for more info on the release as soon as further details become available but you might want to get your Gucci laces from Starks now before they’re gone. Via Revive.

Yesterday, we finally gave you a look at the eagerly anticipated Rising Sun edition of the Air Jordan XII. The shoe features a White on White upper with a perforation design that creates a sunray look on the White leather. Almost the entire sneaker is predominantly White, but there are some minimal splashes of Black and Varsity Red thrown in to spice things up a bit. These new pics give you a better look at some of the finer details of the shoe like the super-fresh red Rising Sun graphics on the insole. As stated in the previous post, these kicks are not expected to drop until October, so tide yourself over for now by checking out some more images after the jump. Via X-Kicks.

Back in the late 80′s and early 90′s, the Nike Air Trainer line was given a big boost by the “Bo Knows” ad campaign. Bo Jackson was one of the most electrifying athletes you could ever watch and as an athlete endorser for Nike, he lent instant credibility to the kicks he sported, not only for his dazzling efforts on the baseball and football field, but for his likable personality and superhuman aura. The Air Trainer SC has since gone on to reach classic status in the sneaker world and with plenty of excitement surrounding their new Trainer 1 model, Nike has decided to re-release the Air Trainer SC this winter in a colorway that’s is still near and dear to Bo. The kicks he made famous will be returning in a crisp Black/Grey color scheme that is obviously influenced by Jackson’s days as an L.A. Raider. You can expect these super-fresh classics to hit shelves some time during the holiday ’09 season. Stay tuned for specific release info and be sure to check out a bunch more pics after the jump.
