To many ‘heads satisfaction, the Air Trainer SC Hi finally became a retro for all to enjoy, reviving the aura of earlier sneaker culture. We have seen a low-cut Flywire version donning a similar colorway surfaced a few days ago. But luckily for the purist of trainer fans, Nike pushed for an original version to be made in this white/grey/red colorway, as we saw in sample form not too long ago as well. Available now at LTD-Online.

Here is a look at the Nike Blazer Mid GS Rubik’s Cube. Inspired by one of the most popular puzzle games ever. These Blazers have a Rubik’s Cube pattern that wraps around the whole upper and sports the classic Rubik’s Cube colors: blue, yellow, red, green and white. Being that this is a GS release, the concept and pattern is great for kids. The toe, swoosh and tongue are comprised of black suede, as well as a solid black midsole and outsole. If you want to purchase a pair of these Nike Blazer Mid GS Rubik’s they are available now from JBseller on eBay.

With the Nike Hyperize giving birth to the Nike Air Max Hyperize come next spring, what will happen to the Nike Hypermax?

The red pair with blue and white accents clearly draws its colour inspiration from the nation’s flag, while a white pair with gold and black hits might hint at their national aspirations.

With the wide range of classic Nike Basketball shoes getting the AC treatment, you might have forgotten about the original vulcanized Swoosh sneaker. The Nike Talache Mid AC got its start as a super-comfortable Zoom Air-equipped lifestyle sneaker, but has really taken off in its autoclaved edition. This model goes with a clean black suede upper with a white sole and touches of bright yellow sparingly applied. They’re the perfect anchor for your winter wardrobe, and are available from Size?

Since the unfortunately death of DJ AM, many have wondered if the Nike Dunk he designed will ever release. DJ Premier recently mentioned on his show that the DJ AM Dunk was still on schedule and earlier today Kasina confirmed this by surprisingly releasing them. This collaboration Dunk features DJ AM’s logo on the tongue, black patent leather wrapping much of the shoe, red premium leather for the toebox, side panels and the upper heel while a light grey swoosh and a white midsole round out the shoe. A unique feature are the three rows of perforations along the heel with 3M underneath, similar to the dots of a Technics Turntable for RPM reading. We are sure an announcement regarding the availability will be made soon so stay with Sneaker News for the update. Don’t forget to check out the DJ AM Memorial Fund eBay Auctions which is still going on.

We just got a detailed look at the piped and Arabic kiffiyeh-printed Air Force 1 Low Supreme created by Undefeated and LIVESTRONG. It looks like there’s been a little change since we saw them on Black Friday, so let’s examine the key difference. Whereas the midsole stenciling was previously all white, now the words alternate between white and yellow, making the individual words in ‘ONYOURBIKEKID’ immediately apparent. The Eddie Cruz designed AF1s will hit select Nike Sportswear retailers on Friday, December 4th.
