Here’s another colourway of the Nike Auto Force 180 Mid in the black/white/red/gold colourway. The Auto Force combines the Air Force 180 upper with a vulcanized Nike Blazer-esque midsole. The Nike Auto Force is said to play a role in the Nike ‘Force vs. Flight Story’ , but there hasn’t been much updated info in terms of a backstory. The red and maize remind you of the Olympic Nike Air Force 180 that was retroed a couple years back as a Finishline exclusive, but these newer variations are available from ID4shoes on eBay.

Style: 375579-071
Color: Black/Varsity Maize-Varsity Red-White

Not only will Spike Lee go down as one of the most iconic filmmakers of all time, he’ll be remembered with similar honor and acclaim in the realm of sneakers. Since his days of claiming “it’s gotta be the shoes”, Spike Lee has been as relevant to sneaker culture as anyone else in the biz. We’ve seen the Air Jordan IV Retro and the Jordan Spiz’ike; here’s a look at the Nike Sky Force Mid, the Spike Lee joint, of course. It shares a similar colourway as the original white Jordan Spiz’ike that released in 2006, and has an added touch pm the tongue-tag; Spike’s symbolic spectacles one one side and “Brooklyn” printed behind it. A pebbled leather upper and patent leather, polka-dotted red ankle  can’t be ignored either. Pick up yours from kixpress on eBay.

The Big Nike High has seen a number of colourways and special editions, like the Spike Lee joints and the Fred Flintstones. While this colourway isn’t attributed to a big name, these Big Nikes still sport a nice look. Black/crimson/white colourway is reminds your of a tuxedo with a red bowtie, or even the Scarface Nike Air Force 1 that dropped a few years ago. However, these Highs have the popular safari print on the entire rear heel and ankle, a print made popular on the Nike Air Safari 87, aka the Biz Markies. These are available from shaolin8 on eBay.

There are a bunch of cool sneakers for the Year of the Tiger that begins on February 14, 2010, but what about the odd (animal) out on that 12 year cycle?  Legend has it, the cat came in last in the Jade Emperor’s race after the rat pushed him into a river, and that’s why they’ve been enemies ever since.  Asics got together with a couple of Japanese stylemakers to make sure cat gets his due.

Enter the Asics x StudioAnti and Washio Tomoyuki ‘Cat Pack’.  It’s a straightforward name that pretty well matches StudioAnti’s simple tonal brown pair of X-Caliber runners, while the Tomoyuki-designed white pair has a lively sketching drawn over the entire silhouette.  These should be out at select European boutiques before year’s end, so check the jump below for a list of retailers.  via SF

Here’s another Nike Blazer Mid ND for you to enjoy. While it is a women’s colourway, the black base is more than enough to make these a unisex product. The tongue contains a minute plaid pattern, and the tongue outline and bottom sole is a vibrant orange. The patent violet swoosh is also a nice touch. These Phoenix Suns-like colourway of the Nike Blazer is available for purchase both at BowsandArrows and from 95soleman on eBay.

The elitists can bash all they want, but sales reflect that the Jordan Classic ’91 satisfy the general consumer niche.  Continuing with the colorways already available for this model, here’s a pair featuring black patent with touches of purple.  Might have been a better look if the materials were inverted, with patent leather only being a secondary material application.  Nonetheless, aesthetics that can pretty much fit male and female, pick up a pair now from Extra Butter or on eBay from 95Soleman.

Nike Sportswear has something good for everyone in 2010, especially Blazer fans.  Expanding on the already sizeable pack of ripstop nylon and patent leather Highs and Lows, Shoes Master shows us photos of the Spring/Summer ’10 lineup and it includes at least double as many new colourways!

Some of the newer pairs thow in contrasting laces, and it looks like NSW has done up a series of gym bags in similar colours.  Fresh off a dominant oh-nine, the Blazer is also back in a sequened pack that might be a collaboration with toy (mini-) giants Bearbrick.  Click the jump below to see all of that and more from the NSW S/S ’10 lineup.

When Kevin Garnett entered the NBA back in 1995, he signaled a changing of the guard.  Gone were the big plodding centers that dominated the paint in the ’80s, replaced by versatile bigmen that can do it all.  Enter the adidas Equation, a multi-talented shoe after KG’s own game.

It’s a vulc-soled ‘basketball’ looking sneaker that makes its ‘lifestyle’ intentions clear at the pop of a collar.  That’s right, the shoe is ‘convertable’, and you can easily remove the upper portion of the ankle collar to get a totally different look.  These drop next year, and in the mean time you can enjoy detailed shots of colourways for Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose, too, after the jump.

This week has been a good one for the Nike Air Max 95, and three makes for good company.  This pair goes with a mix of glossy materials on the ‘tiered’ sections, a look we don’t get very often from the 95.  From a white midsole rises a matted silver layer, followed by metallic silver and two glossy blues (one of which is ‘Italian’), all three of which are patent leather.  Mesh on the top layer and tongue means that these are stylish and comfy, and can be yours now from 95Soleman on eBay.

Nike is strongly suggesting that you ‘Prepare for Combat’ this spring.  It should be fun, too, cos you’ll be comfy and stylish wearing any of these three trainers.  We already know about the Free-soled and Flywire-equipped Nike Trainer 1 and Trainer SC 2010.  They’re joined by a brand new design that shares their DiamondFLEX traction systems, but goes with a LunarLite sole instead of Free.  It’s the Nike Lunar Kayoss, a Flywired lowcut crosstrainer with a Huarache-like heel support and Hyperdunkesque outrigger.  This is an interesting collection and you’ll see more photos of all three pairs after the jump.

Here comes more heat in the form of Nike Air Maxim 1 Torch colourways for spring Ten.  Like all the Torch-equipped kicks we’ve seen so far, these both rock relatively simple colourways.  With these two, they’re mirror images of one another when it comes to accent colours, swapping black with orange and vice versa.  Both pairs feature white Flywire and Torch, plus white midsoles on black outsoles.  Stick with Sneaker News for updates on their release.  via HB
