While we sincerely hope that you never need to use ‘em for that, the Nike SFB (Special Forces Boot) is equipped for any kind of battle you might need to enter.  The Kevlar-sheathed lightweight tactical boot features a Free sole for superiour traction and feel, while the upper is constructed to be among the fastest drying footwear in existence.  This pair in black with purple nylon underlay is just nutty, and we can’t see anyone actually wearing these into combat.  In light of the whimsical colourway, we’re going to repeal our warning against using them for actual battles, and instead suggest that you cop a pair so you can best your friends as ‘most outrageously dressed’.  Get yours from Japanese retailer NOS.  via FRESHNESS

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

Unless we’re talking about resort facilities, it’s pretty uncommon to see people rocking snowboard boots out in public.  Nike Snowboarding might not necessarily be trying to change that, but with their latest drop, we might see some daring folks gripping the asphalt with these heavily-treaded lunar stompers.  There are three Zoom Force 1s, ranging from simple black and white to blue and yellow tiedye or a pair in black and red that depicts all sorts of woodland creatures on the hindfoot.  Last but not least is the Zoom Kaiju in black and blue with some serious Air Jordan flare.  All of these are available at Nike Sportswear retailers including their NYC flagship.

Uniform Experiment has joined up with Nike to create a special edition of their “Special Force” boots, similar to the Nike SFB Lightweight boot we showed you earlier this year. Created in collaboration with SOPH.’s 10th Anniversary Collection these were made specifically for the American troops. These  Special Force boots feature many performance-enhancing technologies, with premium uppers and a Nike Free sole. The color scheme is a very grim monotone black on black. There is also a briefcase made to match the Special Force boots, and was put together with the same design aesthetics in mind. Both products will launch on November 2nd at Istean Mens and Soph. retail locations. via Hypebeast

Last month we showed you some great images of the Nike Zoom Kaiju snowboarding boot.

The Nike Retailers that carry these Zoom Kaiju’s are also getting a Nike Poster that features this signature boot. Via CtotheJL

These latest Nike ACG boots look so tough they should come with a half-joking warning dissuading wearers from kicking their rivals, lest they be accused of attempted murder.  The Nike Air Max Abasi ACG is back in a brutally dark colourway that pits the tiger style of black and olive green’s crane style against one another.  Just like the ancient kung fu schools, these different shades enhance one another and a splash of Safari print seals the deal.  Prepare for the winter wars and cop these from Japanese e-tailer Mad C.

With the Nike ACG Wild Peg Mid, we’re seeing a further exploration of this formerly low cut combination of ACG Air Wildwood and Air Pegasus.  Conceived as a trail runner, the Wild Peg is a little more boot-like in its midtop rendition.  A close look reveals an identical sole to the low version but the beefed up ankle makes you feel like these offer more support for irregular surfaces.  Grab yours today from RMK on eBay.

The Nike Blazer Mid ACG Premium is designed to keep your foot protected for the rough winter weather.  This pair goes an interesting route, applying a lenticular hologram upper that we’ve never seen on a boot before.  It reminds you what’s being protected by revealing an x-ray depicting a rough estimate of your own tarsal structure that changes depending on what angle you’re examining.  They’re available at Nike Sportswear retailers including the 21 Mercer St. location today.
