Ever since Nike’s reintroduction of the Big Nike High, it’s gotten a lot of love.  With some good colorway releases so far, it’s certainly making a name for itself.  Some of you elitists think it’s trying to imitate the Dunk but just doesn’t make it, but take a lot on the streets- the Big Nike High has been well received in the mainstream retail world and doing just fine on its own.  Nonetheless, Nike produces yet another one to further its distinction from the Dunk High.  This one brings forth much more a sophisticated look compared to, say, the Flintstones Pack or the Wolverines.  The upper is a mix of suede, leather and snakeskin, colored with a sort of navy-grey and white.  The swoosh may have been able to do without the novelty “silver,” but that’s really up to you guys to decide.  If you don’t have any Big Nike High’s, this might be a good place to start.  via Limited Edt.

Anytime the term “POSITE” is spoken, sneaker heads begin to drool. Here we bring you a new colorway of the Nike Air Flightposite II to be released in 2010 for their 10-year anniversary. Kevin Garnet originally wore these sneakers during the 2000 NBA season. The silhouette of these retro’s seem to stick to the script, except for the fact that any Kevin Garnet references on the shoe have been removed. The light bronze/black colorway featured here are sure to turn heads anywhere you go. Check out some photos of the black on black version of these Air Flightposite II’s after the jump. If you can’t wait till after 2010 to cop these they are available now at Flightclub.

The Air Jordan XI (11) made ‘Cool Grey’, not the other way around.  With this Quickstrike, the Nike Dynasty High goes in reverse,  reaching to reappropriate that familiar colourup and draw your attention to their latest retro revival.  The leather uppers are quite shiny, relying on a suede toe and fabric on the laces and ankle strap for a tonal effect, while Levis-like tags on the heels remind us how well orange and grey play together.  Cop these at Nike Sportswear retailers like their NYC flagship.

Last month we showed you a teaser of the Nike Air Pegasus 89 “Berlin Wall”. The Air Pegasus 89 has recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and we have been seeing a few new colorways being released. This particular Air Pegasus 89 has a great combination of materials and textures. The upper is comprised of leather and suede, with a mesh toe box and mesh side panels. A very notable feature on this shoe is the speckled swoosh which we don’t see very often, as well as the contrast stitching and heel details that help bring the shoe to life and accent the predominantly dark colorway of this silhouette. via Highsnobiety

As deep as the ties between late 80s/early 90s hip-hop, Air Jordans and basketball in general, that’s how close Q-Tip is to the sneaker game. Former A Tribe Called Quest member ‘Tip has just announced an upcoming Nike collabo today on Twitter that will be known as the ‘Abstract Dynasty.’ If it’s anything as crazy as Mighty Crown’s Nike Dynasty High, these will be something to see.  Take a look at Q-Tip after the jump in a Tribe-inspired colourway of the Air Jordan Spiz’ike for a glimpse into what could be.

Let’s take a closer look at one of the first pairs that really got people excited to talk about the Nike Air Hoop Structure.  What’s undeniable with this edition of the runner cum basketball midtop is its homage to Kanye West’s favourite, the Air Jordan VIII (8) ‘Aqua’.  It’s a popular colourway, but this pair goes one step further and applies the AJVIII’s signature sweeping lines to its rear midsole.  The combination of purple and turquoise does well on these, reinforcing the parentheses these draw around the last two decades.  Stick with Sneaker News, as they should be dropping sometime in the next two months, so we’ll keep you posted.

If you’re here looking for the latest info on upcoming sneakers, you’re in the right place.  Let’s take a look at just a small sampling of the huge spread Nike Sportswear has in store for Spring 2010.  Pictured above is the Nike Air Classic BW in the increasingly-popular pairing of dark navy and black that pretty much signals an end to that old rule, as least as far as streetwear is concerned.  The contradindicated colourway isn’t the key feature, though, as these prominently display Nike’s new lightweight Torch material on the toe and side panels. 

The BW is joined by an Air Structure Triax 91 we got a glimpse of in September that loans its pink hits to a ravey-looking Lunar Mariah.  Last but certainly not least is a new look at the upcoming Futura x Nike Air Force 1 Low.  Like all samples, they’re probably going to undergo some changes before reaching retail shelves, so stick with Sneaker News for updates along the way.  Which of these has you most excited for next spring?  via NT
