Leopard print combines a feral wilderness and a luxurious attitude – perfect for women, right? Although wildlife prints have become increasingly popular on the men’s side of fashion, this upcoming Leopard Pack of the Air Max 1 is strictly for the ladies; we first previewed the Leopard Pack in March, with this Black colorway side by side with the Dunk High, but it appears that there’s a Grey/Red colorway that will join ‘em for a sick one-two punch of releases. Combining suede, the leopard print, and rip-stop nylon at the toe-box, these WMNS releases will hit NSW accounts this Fall 2012 season (so fellas, get on the hunt for the bigger sizes!). More shots in the gallery below, so take a look and let us know what you think. Photos: HS

The 360 Max Air influence has spread upon the classic ACG catalog as we get a first look at two sample colorways of the Nike Air Max Terra Sertig, previewed here on Sneaker News a few short weeks ago. It matches the rugged yet stylish appeal of the Terra Sertig re-constituted with the all-sport Max Air sole, and despite a rather seamless final product, many of our readers preferred the original to the new ‘Air’ package seen here. The two you see here are just samples, according to Asian retailer Passover, so whether or not these will in fact release during the intended Holiday 2012 season is yet to be finalized, so check out both shoes below and let us know if these actual photos change your mind.

The longstanding partnership between Liberty of London and Nike Sportswear is one whose look is imprinted on the minds of most sneakerheads by now: floral patterning and bright leaning colorways. As it turns out only half of that is really integral to the equation, as this stealthy pair of Nike Air Max 1 WMNS does indeed bear the flowery markings but does so via a rather ghostly palette. Stay with us after the jump to get the full view and let us know what you think of this sharp left turn from the Liberty x Nike collection. Also, if you like what you see, keep in mind that you can grab a pair now from EU retailer Titolo.

It appears that our ‘Classics Revisited’ segments have had a direct effect on our Sneaker News Blogs: WDYWT regulars, because three of the five Air Max 1s featured last week have popped up in this week’s Top 20! Furthermore, a sneakerhead out in the Netherlands shows us that he’s got the Air Force 1 game on complete lockdown, because three of his inclusions were worthy of this week’s twenty best (and we even left a couple out). The Reebok Question has been a trending sneaker, so we decided to cluster three sick Mid colorways as one. This week’s Sneaker News Blogs: Best of WDYWT is definitely one you shouldn’t miss out on, because we’ve got plenty more from Puma, Converse, Fila, and a plethora of Nike fire, so check ‘em all out below and vote for your fave at the very end!

This particular floral print from the Liberty of London x Nike range should be familiar to you at this point, having already popped up on a lifestyle takedown of the Nike WMNS Hyperclave Lite. This time around the look is ported over to a sneaker much more familiar with occupying the lifestyle category; the Nike Air Max 1. Click through to check out how this bubble-soled classic handles the printed look and the V-day palette and hit up the folks at Titolo to grab a pair ahead of their US release. Also, stay tuned with Sneaker News for more looks at the ever deepening collaboration between Liberty and Nike.

Strangely enough, if a sneaker is being counterfeited, it’s probably because it’s a great shoe. That unusual honor is certainly held by the Air Max 95 – one of the most unforgettable sneaker designs in history and one of the most notoriously counterfeited sneakers of this era; if you weren’t an expert on the many intricacies of Lozano’s 95, chances are you’ve been duped once before. The Air Max 95 is currently going through some interesting changes in the form of the 95 360 (or 95 BB) as well as the 95 NS – arguable ‘upgrades’ in build while keeping the heart and soul intact – and Nike iD is joining in by presenting some new Reflective panels on the upper to give it some extra ‘umph’. You can go full reflective on the ‘ribs’ or choose just one single stripe for the nice accent, so test out your designs now on Nike iD after peeping some of the iD samples from Nike Harajuku below.

Its peak years having come and gone well before Nike was ready to roll out their exclusive license for NFL gear, the Zoom Flyposite cleat will be resurrected for the holiday season in a new, considerably more street-friendly form. Gone are the twelve spikes that once dotted the Zoom-cushioned Phylon midsole and in its place is a full-length Max Air bag that gives rise to the Nike Air Max Flyposite both in name and in essence. Pictured above is a Metallic Silver and black edition whose closest relative in the Nike Sportswear catalog might be last year’s first Air Force 1 High Foamposite, a colorway slated to drop in December just in time for the Christmas shopping season. That home stretch of 2012 is shaping up to be the most difficult period in history when it comes to budget decisions, so why not get ahead of the curve and grab these six months early thanks to skit_japan on eBay.

Before this popularity was realized on massively successful hybrids like the Half Cent and Zoom Rookie, Nike Sportswear put much of its hybrid design attention on nu-classic runners. These designs included models like the Air Max Skyline and AM Command, a couple of designs whose elements can clearly be seen as taken from the early ’90s Air Max running lineup. We get the same effect with an even more obvious presentation, as the modularity of the Nike Air Max Correlate is hinted by the shoe’s own name. This colorway resides in an area perfectly suited for both a tribute to the golden era and today’s preferred high energy styles, and you’ll find them available now at select NSW doors like Oneness.
