Here’s another one of those ‘almost-LIVESTRONG’ palettes, which looks quite good on the Nike Air Max 90.  We know that young sneakerheads need some dope exclusives, but can’t help but be a little jealous about how well the neon yellow sections compliment a selection of greys that has some history with Jeff Staple.  Then again, the toebox and ankle area are enhanced with a textured nylon.  Cop a pair for your little one and light up their holiday with neon.  Available from Shaolin8 on eBay.

We thought it was settled back in ‘97, but Nike proved that East vs. West is still a viable rivalry.  Most of the releases have been out for a while, but the delicious ‘Bacon’ Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache by New York’s Dave’s Quality Meats is welcome any time.  A darker take on the original that’s lighter than its samples, this updated Bacon might bite you back with its toothy Free sole.  They’re finally available stateside at exclusive Nike accounts like Proper.

LIVESTRONG releases from Nike this year have put a vicegrip on black/yellow just like ‘Chicago’ did with white/black/red or how most things you see in purple/gold remind you of ‘Lakers’.  While this effect is undoubtedly a benefit to the cause of crushing cancer, it might lead to some confusion over these latest Nike Air Max 90s.  While they’re not endorsed by Lance Armstrong or his charitable organization, they do look fresh with a mix of black, greys and yellow.  You can grab a pair of these today, only from JD Sports.

Ben Drury’s teaser photos back in April gave us our first glimpse of his ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’ Nike Air Max 90 for Dizzee Rascal, along with another pair for himself that we expected to see in boot form.  Turns out, the metal hook eyelet at midfoot is just a design element on Drury’s Nike Air Max 90 Current.  They keep the boot laces and look like they’d perform pretty well with a mesh toebox and perforated suede on the rear.  The navy and white look would be perfect for Yankee fans, but the tongue tags rep for London, and implore you to ‘Trust Me’.  Now that you’re suggestible, grab yours at 21 Mercer St.

Global fame can bring all kinds of riches.  From special editions to collaborations and some that owe their own place in streetwear to celebrity fans, we see all kinds of celebrity sneaker trends.  In this edition, peep what Method Man’s boy RZA is reppin on his ‘W’-emblazoned rug.  The way the offwhite shag carpeting drapes into the tighter-cut logo in the middle is pretty amazing, but don’t get distracted and miss the man’s kicks! 

Never one to fit in, you notice that RZA seems not to care about keeping up with the Wales and Cudis of the world, but there’s still a place in his sole for Air Jordans, Nike Air Max 90 Boots, Reebok ATR basketball sneakers, adidas kicks, Timberland boots and a pink and blue pair that looks to be the Puma Clyde (or Suede, perhaps).  Those all might be decoys, though, since we picture him more like these photos: rocking a pair of crisp Clarks Wallabees.  Enjoy more shots of RZA shooting the new Supreme lookbook at the Wu-compound in Jersey.  via SDSD

Don’t you just love seeing a kid pass by rocking a dope pair on their feet?  Or for you older cats out there, you know you can’t help but make sure your youngin’s stride is rite.  Nike’s knows they can’t leave out the smaller feet of the globe, in this case making a grade school Very Berry pack.  The Air Max 90 and Blazer get black nubuck contrasted with a tonal flannel for the upper, while the accents take on the (rasp)berry colors.  Subtle gold accents can be found for that additional youthful flare.  Now available at most Nike retailers, but you can also try your luck on eBay.  Photos via shaolin8

With Jeff Staple putting out alot of high quality collaborations this year, plenty of lookalike colourways have popped up.  This one is actually something of a stretch, but the European exclusive Nike Air Max 90 pictured above hints at the ‘Pigeon’ vibe with the interplay of black/grey/white with the red accents.  The only place in the world you can get these now is at JD Sports.

Nike Air Max 90’s are some of the most popular and sought after sneakers in the game, and when a great colorway gets released the demand rises even more. Here are the Nike Air Max 90 Currents, which have been re-tweaked a little bit from the original Air Max 90 silhouette. The addition of a Nike Free sole gives these 90’s a nice clean look. Although the real demand for these comes from their colorway and materials used. The shoe is predominantly black, but has clean accents of infrared on the air unit and translucent plastic lace holes that play well off the all black background. Premium materials such as Ostrich leather give these Air Max 90’s a touch of class and luxury, while the mesh toe box stays true to the original Air Max 90 design. Look for these to hit select retailers some time in late November/early December.
