Who better to give us a retrospective on the Nike Air Max lineage than a UK shop? The Brits have always been a bit more bubble-bound than us, so we’re happy to see that the AM stalwarts at Size? have dug up some history for us for the current Nike Air Max Reinvented series. Included are a gang of vintage ads from the time when visible Air was the new kid on the block as far as Nike tech. Coinciding with that piece, they’re also launching an Instagram contest wherein you’re eligible to win a trip to a “top European city” to attend an Air Max celebration event put on by Nike. Continue reading to see some of the ads and then hit up Size? for the full details on the contest.

The Nike LeBron X is definitely on the back burner at the moment, allowing both the Elite and the Low styles to duke it out for retail supremacy. The thing is though, the two occupy entirely different categories, The Elite is obviously intended for the utmost of performance wear, while the Nike LeBron X Low seems to be more of an off court special. Which will prove the more popular style come tomorrow’s simultaneous release? Chip in with your two cents and grab the Nike LeBron X Low “Violet Force” shown here just a few hours early from shihguy on eBay.

After a ten year wait, the UNDFTD x Nike Dunk High “Ballistic” will finally be back in stores tomorrow. What’s more, the style will be joined by the likes of a Nike Hyperdunk 2012 mimicking that sturdy military look. Nike’s slowed up quite a bit on collabs ever since they pretty much started the whole scene with UNDFTD a decade a go, so it’s nice to see them revive the olden days a bit with this quick team up. Continue reading to get another look at both pairs and watch for the UNDFTD x Nike “Bring Back” pack at select NSW spots on May 25th.

The Nike Kobe 8 is about to take a stroll, heading off the Staples Center courts and onto the sand and sidewalks at the relatively nearby Venice Beach. On its way it will pick up a multitude of crazy colors, all of which are splashed across the upper of the new Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach”. The pair is one that’s been on slow leak for a minute, the first images having shown up a couple of months ago. Let us know if you’re happy that they’re finally hitting stores and grab a Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach” a little bit ahead of schedule on eBay.

The Nike LeBron X Elite “Sport Turquoise” will become the latest of LeBron sneakers to release come tomorrow, May 25th. Unlike the Nike LeBron X proper, the Elite version doesn’t have the little badge area that’s so often been an indicator of a theme, but for what it’s worth Nike Basketball is calling them “Dade County”. Speaking of which, what ever happened to the whole “Diamond” theme that was going on with the X? Did they toss that out when moving on to Elite? Give us your thoughts in the comments and watch for the Nike LeBron X Elite “Sport Turquoise” in stores tomorrow, or right now on eBay.

Another Jordan style that stays true to the original will release tomorrow: the Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe”. The shoe, like a handful of the retros for Mike’s first this year, comes labeled as the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG-which means “Nike Air” will replace the Jumpman branding throughout. See the sneakers for one last time before you go on the hunt tomorrow, and keep in mind overseas spots like Crooked Tongues are always an option-as is eBay.

The adidas Top Ten 2000 is a sneaker that’s been sort of obsessed with the bright end of the spectrum as of late. The last couple of versions we saw for the shoe included the likes of joy blue, vivid yellow, orange, and vivid pink. Upholding the standard set by those is another pair the same vein, one that arrived in stores without any notice beforehand. Get a full look at the adidas Top Ten 2000 in question right after the jump and watch for them now at CNCPTS.
