Aside from its Persian Violet colourway, many American sneakerheads might not be familiar with the Nike Air Classic BW because you’ll rarely see them at, say, Foot Locker.  Like its cousin the Air Max Light, the Big Window is frequently a Euro exclusive, as is the case with these black beauties.  They go with a smooth mix of black, grey and white that’s perfectly blended at a midfoot gradient.  They’re available now at selet Nike Sportswear retailers in Europe.

Let’s have a look at the latest collaboration between Undefeated, LIVESTRONG and Nike.  It’s the ‘ONYOURBIKEKID’ Air Force 1 Low Supreme that looks more than a little like the Nike Vandal thanks to the shared use of piping.  On this AF1, the thick black lines frame a forefoot featuring a tonal keffiyeh print, with smooth yellow leather on the rear.  These will hit Nike Harajuku on December 4th, and you just know there’s going to be a stateside release, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via SM

If you were to build a fantasy sneaker brand, we doubt it could have gotten to a much better start than Supra.  They have some highly influential fans, built up the Skytop II with some leaked samples a la Nike, and then released Chad Muska’s latest signature sneaker in a limited drop only at Paris’ colette.  Muska was on hand to sign the 600 pairs of the ‘Gradient’ Supra Skytop II and it looks like fun was had by all.  Take a look at more party photos after the jump.  via SF

For a site that used to require constant attention with its Air Jordan Flight Club exclusives, Jumpman23.com has been updated relatively infrequently of late.  We’ve come to expect some new content each quarter along with sneak peaks and release dates, but the general layout has been identical for years.  Well, start saying all of those things in the past tense, as Jordan Brand’s website has just undergone a thorough redesign.

Pictured above is the new landing page, where you’ll find links to greatly-improved apparel and footwear sections, along with some interesting feature sections.  For the product pages, you can easily choose to see what’s out now, what’s on the way and when, or everything all at once, all clearly labeled.  Check out how much better the new site looks and feels for your holiday shopping needs.

Last time we saw Omar Salazar, he was coasting through San Francisco traffic in the black HUF x Nike Blazer High.  Maybe it was his way of connecting to the fans, since we can’t get his new Nike SB signature sneaker until next March.  Then again, one lucky person is going to get their hands on this sample pair.  It looks more Phillies than flaglike, though the red Flywire strands create a striping effect on the white Swooshes.  There’s only a little bit more time left on these, available from jr21213 on eBay.

England’s JD Sports is known for their exclusive Nike releases, including a long run of dope releases in the black/grey/blue range.  These might not be JD-exclusives but they are probably stuck over on the far side of the Atlantic.  This Nike Air Max 95 just dropped in the Old World and looks to be crafted up to snuff with any of their supposedly excellent craftsmanship.  As if the mix of greys, black and blue weren’t perfect enough, light grey contrast stitching on the toe and tongue.  Enjoy some more closeups after the jump.

Only Philly natives Ubiq could handle Veterans Stadium’s legendary 700 Level with such loving nostalgia.  They crafted a loving tribute to the most notorious deck of fans in the history of pro sports and are wrapping it up with a design that’s only for their closest friends and family.  The Ubiq x Puma Clyde pictured above in black mesh is said to represent for the referees who were somehow supposed to stay impartial despite potential downpours of coarse language and maybe a battery or two.  Take a look at the kicks and a video of DJ Green Lantern energizing the crowd at the 700 Level Pack release party.  via HS
