Nike Air Royal Mid Quickstrike @ 21 Mercer St.

The latest Nike Air Royal Mid has a decidedly blue collar look.  This Quickstrike pair borrows a premium look from Red Wing Boots, extending the rich mahogany down from the smooth leather to an otherwise white midsole.  You gotta have the corded laces and brass eyelets if you really wanna get the workboot aesthetic, and those are a check-check.  There’s also an extra pair of leather laces if you want to push them toward something dressier.  Either way, these buttery soft boot-like sneakers are available at select Nike Sportswear retailers including the 21 Mercer St. flagship.

Style: 389584-600
Color: Wine/Wine-Deep Burgundy

Nike Air Foamposite   Dirty Copper   New Images

For all of you Penny Foamposite fans that have been keeping your ears to the ground, you know that a copper colourway of the Nike Air Foamposite is set to drop. Here are some extra images for you to enjoy, in case you haven’t gotten a clear idea of what these will look like. A Penny signature shoe in a copper penny colourway is a bit overdue; just my two cents. But as we all know, better late than never.

Nike Cortez   Year of the Tiger

In continuing with their tradition of releasing Chinese Zodiac-based kicks, Nike has released a Nike Cortez commemorating the Year of the Tiger, following the Nike Dunk Low GS of the same motif. Inspired by the white tiger, this special edition of the Nike Cortez embodies what the tiger represents: Fearlessness, rebellion, and passion. The nylon upper features two-toned white tiger stripes, and the heel, toe, and swoosh are fashioned with pony hair to give these Year of the Tiger Nike Cortez a feral yet angelic look. On the insole is a printed date of the Chinese New Year, which falls on the fourteenth of February, and an embossed BaZi emblem with a centered Chinese character for “Tiger” on the tongue. These will hit Nike Sportswear retailers in the upcoming months so stay tuned to Sneaker News for more info. via Freshnessmag.

Nike Zoom Spider LT+   Sunrise/Sunset

The Nike Zoom Spider LT+ is performance footwear designed for the serious runners, for those who can leave their baggage at home and free themselves with a jog from dusk ‘til dawn. Here’s a new colourway of the Nike Zoom Spider LT+, employing a Sunrise/Sunset motif. The purple/yellow “Sunrise” color scheme on the left foot hints at the rising sun and fading darkness, and red/yellow/violet trifecta of the right shoe emanates a sunset with precision. The colors were inspired by the San Diego horizon, known for its breathtaking views of the sunrise and sunset from (where else) Sunset Cliffs. Are you a morning jogger and enjoy the sunrise, or do you prefer the sunset and run your 5 miles at evening time? Keep reading for more pics including a pair signed by Japanese track and field star Tamesue Dai. via Harajuku.

Air Jordan Outdoor   2010 Sneak Peek

The Air Jordan 2010 will release in February with more high performance elements than pretty much any basketball shoe ever.  One problem it might have, though, is the blacktop.  Rather than scuffing up your ‘window’ on the concrete courts, Jordan Brand has cooked up an outdoor edition of the AJ2010.

It’s clear from first glance at the massive perforations on its toe that the Air Jordan 2010 Outdoor is a rugged shoe that’s prepared to protect your feet from the elements.  Criss-crossing AJVIII-like straps are sure to keep you secure, while the sole has been reshaped for coarsely textured surfaces and looks a little like the Zoom LeBron II’s bottom.  Take a look at up-close shots of a pair of Air Jordan 2010 Outdoors in white, black and red after the jump.  via ISS

The Nike Sportswear Greater China Media Summit was held in Hong Kong’s Cattle Depot Artist Village to present upcoming Nike Sportswear products for Spring/Summer 2010.

Some of the upcoming footwear and apparel include the Nike LunarLite Rejuven8 Mid and the Nike N98 jacket worn by the Brazilian National Football team a decade ago. The event space was set to create a soccer-field motif, with goalposts, field markings, and grass turf. To get an inside look at the event, check out the pictures after the jump. via Freshnessmag.

Nike WMNS Dunk High Skinny Supreme   Black + Navy

Let’s have a look at the two newest Nike Womens Skinny Dunk Highs.  At first glance, you might have thought they were a single pair, since the laces are similar and both have dark bases sporting the same dot-matrix patterning.  A closer look reveals that the black pair is sporting a tonal Swoosh, while the navy blue joints get a brighter logo to match the laces.  Both feature gum outsoles and are available at Nike Harajuku in Tokyo, Japan.
