The already pretty slick looking Nike Barkley Posite Max just got even more exciting. This latest set of photos shows that the sneakers will also be packing a glow in the dark sole on the bottom, with the iridescent green silhouetting the wavy “Not a Role Model” script that runs along the outsoles. So far the only sample available for your viewing pleasure is this one that centers around the iconic ‘Eggplant’ shade from the Foamposite line. Check out some top notch pics after the jump and keep your eyes on Sneaker News for release info.

We’ve got another gallery of images for you to examine below, so check ‘em out and snag one of the available pairs in advance of the release from zadehkicks on eBay.

Air Force 1 boot variations are among Nike Sportswear’s most popular hybrid styles, because they take the familiar Uptown’s personality and pollinate it with a special blend courtesy of classic menswear. But we’ve only been scratching the surface of what’s possible, as made evident by these new Nike Air Force 1 Duckboot iD samples from Tokyo’s Nike Harajuku. These push the envelope with bold ripstop nylon colors contrasted by simple base tones, and the result might be good enough to have you wishing for nasty weather. Get a look at some samples after the jump and you can design your own AF1 Duckboot available now as the December Air Force 1 offering on Nike iD.

The new Elephant-heavy ‘Flip’ styles have taken over NIKEiD, but it’s a familiar aesthetic from the Air Jordan III’s immediate follow-up that dominates this latest Jordan Spiz’ike release. Featuring a bold black nubuck mix with high contrast University Gold accents including stitching and midsoles, this new Spizike has a look not too far off from the upcoming ‘Thunder’ Air Jordan IV that also releases this December. Those Fours have been pushed back until just before Christmas, so if you like what you see, you’ll be able to satisfy your Thunder hunger a bit earlier, thanks to retailers like Social Status who’ll have them on shelves starting next Friday, December 8th.

The latest Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Pro Low style was given an “Anthracite/Black” color code, but anyone who knows the first thing about Foams realizes the key color even if it’s not printed on the box. This latest AF1 Foamposite Low features a look reminiscent of the ‘Dark Neon Royal’ OG Air Foamposite One, a combination of OG One palette and Pro Swoosh that had only been seen on unauthorized designs (i.e., fakes). It’s exciting to see these Foamposite aesthetics blended and even more intriguing that it happens on the Uptown silhouette, so stick with Sneaker News for US release info and enjoy some more photos below in the meantime.

The Jordan Spiz’ike has hit in a select few GS colorways since its inception, the majority in the past few years. Most notably might be the Vivid Pink and Turbo Green-accented Spring 2010 drop that beat the ‘South Beach’ LeBron 8 to the punch, and now here’s a new style that keeps the grey and pink but ends up with a decidedly more feminine lean. This new Spizike GS features Purple Earth and Liquid Pink hits on a Cool Grey nubuck base, an icey girls style that’s set to heat up the holiday season. Exactly when, we still can’t say, but they were projected as a November drop, which along with these new photos suggests they’ll arrive at retailers by the end of the year.
