Needless to say that Nike has pushed the Terminator to forefront of Nike’s arsenal, making quite a bit of noise in the sneaker realm.  But plethora of crack-designs isn’t strictly for us dudes.  These two WMNS Terms definitely size up to some of the releases we’ve seen recently.  Based on a Day & Night theme, they’re both unified by black chic, and opted to differenciate each other through detail.  The pair on the left, representing Day, opts for a simple all-leather upper with a shepra lining – cozy for the upcoming season.  They also come with rather long laces, most likely conveying a ‘long, hard day working’ type of message.  For the Night pair, however, Nike decided to go for a slightly ‘louder’ look.  This time rocking buttery nubuck, the ankle is accompanied with a studded belt which circumferences twice around.  Both believed to be Quicktrike releases, these will be available at Nike Harajuku.

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.

Pretty much everybody is happy about all the Air Jordan XII Retros this holiday season (well, probably not adidas).  Here’s a new Nike Blazer High for women that uses a ’sunray’ stitch just like the Twelve.  These use a black leather base and add gold stitches.  The Swooshes are metallic, so when you see how the stitching doubles up around the old school ‘NIKE’ heel tab, you might think of bike spokes.  Toss in a cricket emrbroidery on the tongue tag and this is quite a unique take on a classic design.  Available from Shaolin8 on eBay.

The most common thing to see in recent years is ‘packs’ of similar sneakers released all at once.  Take for example, the twenty Reebok Pumps dropping this weekend in celebration of their two decades in the inflatable cushioning game.  Jordan Brand, on the other hand, tends to show us several variations on a similar theme, then stagger the releases over a quarter or so.  Enter the Air Jordan 1 High Strap in black with orion blue accents.  The metallic gold aglets remind you that this is the same colourblocking on the voltage yellow joints from last month.  Complete the set and cop these today.  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.
