We gave you a heads up on both of these Auto Force 180’s.  Staying true to the sample we showed, the upper sticks with the nubuck/ patent combo.  Hyper Blue and Lime really set this pair off, which should get a big response.  The other pair also shows no difference from the looksee, having a more simpler design choice.  The traditional color choice of all black with a white midsole, with a mix for nubuck and leather is pleasing for the purist of sneakerheads.  Whichever your preference, jump over to Finishline to cop the Black/ Hyper Blue or the all Black.  Or maybe even both Auto Force 180’s.

Here comes the dopest Nike Delta Force AC thusfar, which is possibly the finest of all of the autoclaved Nike retro joints we’ve seen.  No one would fault you for thinking these look a little like the elephant printed colour combination we call ‘Supreme’, but a closer look reveals a lighter shade of blue and cement grey Safari print in place of the legendary Air Jordan pattern.  Peep how nice the fresh ’stars’ on these look, along with other detailed shots after the jump.  via SF

It was back in June of this year when we first saw this Holiday 2009 Nike Auto Force 180 “Olympic” colorway, now almost four months later the shoe itself has been releaased. Nike utilizes their Nike Air Force 180, one of the sneakers the Charles Barkley used to wear, and combines it with a vulcanized midsole and outsole to make up this Nike Auto Force 180. This colorway is inspired by the Olympic colorway that Sir Charles wore in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. Pick up the Nike Auto Force 180’s in their Olympic colorway now at select Nike Sportswear accounts or via 95Soleman on eBay.

Even though we knew these were coming, they’re still something of a pleasant suprise.  The latest addition to DJ Clark Kent’s 112 Pack is a downright stunning Nike Air Force 25 Low Premium.  The AF25 has been around since its launch for the huge birthday celebration a couple years back, but it’s safe to say that it has never looked as good.  Though the upper is all smooth silver save the elephant print lines and Swooshes, these manage to show the Air Force 25 silhouette in a new light, all at once revealing its connection to the original and showing promise for future releases.  The ‘new light’ quip is somewhat literally true as well, since all of that silver is 3M reflective material.  It’s an Asia Exclusive, so you can cop yours today from Kix-Files.

Here’s a pair of Nike Auto Force 180s that won’t drop until later this year.  They’re mostly black on the upper, a mix of smooth nubuck and patent leather.  Royal blue accents on the eyelets and Swooshes join with the neon green touches to give these a sort of Huarache feel.  Then again, you know that it’s 2009 and that Nike Air Force 180s don’t have autoclaved/vulcanized soles, so the whole thing has the effect of bridging across eras, a silent story Nike is telling very well in its recent releases.  We expect the full drop in late October but you can cop a sample in US mens size 9 from verbdws on eBay.

When the Nike Auto Force 180 came onto the scene a short while back, one of the first colourways we got an extended look at was the New York Knicks (or Mets) pair in blue leather with orange accents.  Since the similarly vulcanized Auto Flight High is getting a Lakers colourup, this Chicago pair has us expecting something autoclaved in green to satisfy the Celtics fans.  But for now, Chi-town is on high, covering this midtop in a variety of leathers and nubuck.  Especially nice is the tonal safari print knap on the nubuck mudguard.  It’s a can’t miss colourway and you can grab yours today from Finish Line.

Nike’s big-ups for Bo Jackson have extended beyond the Air Trainer retros and the new Nike Trainer 1.  We saw a crazy Blazer with ‘Tecmo Bo’ emblazoned upon the tongue tag, and this pair looks to be part of the same pack.  The Nike Sky Force High pictured above lacks ‘Tecmo Bo’ in Raiders garb, but keeps the silver and black and uses the Blazer’s pixelated side panels.  Ty of LDRS1354 reported that these are samples, so they might not release.  If they do, expect them alongside the Blazer and Air Trainer TW IIs.

We already knew that the Billy Hoyle edition of the Nike Hyperize White Men Can’t Jump Pack was inspired by his Air Command Forces, but now we can see exactly how faithful a reproduction the new release will be.  In these side-by-side shots, it’s clear that Nike nailed the colour scheme, matching it tone for tone.  The only differences are that the original Command Force featured a yellow midsole with black speckles, whereas the Hyperize is solid yellow, plus the Hyperize’s Swooshes are outlined in yellow, whereas the original was just black.  Take a look at these and let us know if you think a retro for the Air Command Force is in order.  via SC.
