The ‘Chlorophyll’ colorway of the original Nike Air Trainer 1 is one that is almost always welcomed by sneakerheads when ported onto other models. This time around we see it make the jump to the Nike Air Classic BW, with the green hits remaining pretty minimal showing up on the Air Max detailing on the heel and outsole. Heck even without the rich background of the colorway, this pair could stand on its own as a pretty versatile model thanks to the grey’d out upper. Follow us after the jump for the full shots of the Nike Air Classic BW ‘Chlorophyll’ and stick with Sneaker News for all your Air Max-related info. via TTB

Following the full on denim look for the Nike Air Force 1 Low we saw last year, a more trimmed back approach seems to be in order for 2012. You’ll recall the full preview we dropped on you a few months back, a few from which are starting to make their way into retailers as of now. First it was the salmon toned version, and now this Mets looking colorway is the latest to appear. Storm blue on the upper pairs with vivid orange on the swoosh, with the faded denim twiill hits mixing into the paneling to bring on the lifestyle look. Follow us after the jump to get a better feel for the sneaker, and stay tuned for their stateside arrival coming summer 2012.

Nike Sportswear has displayed an uncanny ability to turn the most technical and unflattering of shoes into perfect lifestyle shoes. Take for example the Nike MayFly – a track and field shoe that was stripped down to skin (Tyvek material, actually) only to give runners an advantage. Of course, this new Premium offering is meant more for the weekend, because it’s got a simple Black/Tan colorway constructed in suede uppers and leather insoles. The original graphic stays, but it’s got a new heart thanks to this Premium-grade transplant of materials. Check out the extra shots below and see what’s available at UK retailer End.

With all the commotion about the ‘Galaxy’ colorway slated to release on the eve of NBA All-Star 2012, be careful not to overlook the Nike Air Foamposite One release a short while later that we’ve been watching for a good while now. The ’Electrolime’ Air Foamposite One gets back to this model’s uniformly colored heritage with a new shade so vibrant that these have managed to escape the Iowa/Wu-Tang/Pittsburg/LIVESTRONG typecasting that seems to all too often pidgeonhole black and yellow designs. These also feature just a hint of navy blue on the ’1c’ logos and insoles, perhaps the tiniest reference to University of Michigan star Chris Webber who wound up wearing his college colors again in Golden State where he was traded for Penny Hardaway on Draft Day 1993. Have another look after the jump and let us know if uniformly-colored or patterned Foamposite is the way to go. via ST

You think Kanye West was the first pop-star to get his own Nike shoe? Well, technically speaking, he was the first to have a pair of Nikes bearing his name, but that trend traces back to the turn of the decade into the 1980′s. This shimmering, glittery pair of Tailwinds was inspired by the energetic disco scene and given out to Friends and Family of the Beaverton core, making its way on the feet of the King of Pop Michael Jackson and the King of chest-hair David Hasselhoff. With the original Tailwind already making a come-back this year, Nike deemed it fitting to bringing back one of the most story-telling Nikes of all-time to the public, and it appears that some spots overseas have already let these go. Below we have a nice detailed gallery of the Nike Tailwind Night Track Retro below, so take a good look and if you’re interested in copping one of most funkiest Retro sneakers of all time, grab one of the available pairs online like this one from oasion45 on eBay.

The Air Force 1 will forever be a key component of the Nike Sportswear lineup, and for that we’re truly glad. But some of the successors of this three-decade-dominator haven’t been as lucky, with models like its immediate sequel and a few others coming in and out of the ranks of the regularly released. Take for example the Delta Force, once a mainstay of both the pre-NSW Sport Culture lineup as well as Nike SB’s mid-’00s climb, now has been relegated to the sidelines as we see more esoteric retros and newfangled hybrid designs. The Nike Delta Force High AC is itself a combination of the classic silhouette with a casually-oriented vulcanized sole, these two new releases echoing the AF1′s reliance upon white and black early in 2012. Together they’re very much like a yin-yang, but will you be buying both as these arrive at NSW stores like Titolo?

What would happen if you took the Nike Air Max 90‘s best known colorway and toned down the intensity on the black and red sections? The first answer that comes to mind upon seeing this new pair is “Another beautiful AM90″, but let’s be more specific about what they’re bringing to the table. This is one of many Ninetys this spring done up with the beloved ‘Infrared’ OG blocking pattern, and just like the other releases that’re more widely available, these opt for a shift on the mudguard rather than the OG black (Dark Shadow grey, in this case). This in combination with a more conventional red than the Infra- variety gives these a fresh but familiar feel, but the only way you’ll ever have them in your hands them is to get in touch with JD Sports.

The Nike Air Flight One remained quietly in the Nike Basketball archives since 1995, until in 2011, it manifested itself in the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP – a hybrid model containing the physical and spiritual aspects of the Nike Air Flight One, Air Foamposite One, and Air Go LWP. For the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, Nike will introduce the classic model as part of the Nike Sportswear Space Exploration Collection – a special glow-in-the-dark edition inspired by intergalactic themes. Release alongside that high-energy rendition is the original colorway of the Air Flight One, donned in a White/Blue/Black make-up reminiscent of Penny Hardaway’s Orlando Magic uniforms and coinciding with the destination city of this year’s All-Star Game festivities. The Nike Air Flight One ‘Orlando’ as well as the entire Space Exploration Collection will release on Febraury 23rd at select retailers so continue reading for a detailed look and let us know what you think.

You’d have an interesting argument on your hands against one of Nike Basketball’s ‘big three’ signature superstars, but when it comes to the rest of the 2012 NBA All-Star contingent, all of them are being overshadowed by a long-retired former All-NBA’er. That’s because the placement of this year’s ASG in Orlando has given Nike Sportswear the perfect opportunity to apply some otherworldy approaches to some of Penny Hardaway’s beloved classics, and along with the hotly anticipated ‘Galaxy’ Foamposite One, the Nike Air Flight One will drop just before the game in a glow-in-the-dark-soled, space-themed colorway that might be the most eye-catching in that classic’s nearly two decade history. Click through so you can see some sharp new shots and let us know whether it’s these or the ‘Orlando’ edition you’ll be getting when they release on Thursday, February 23rd at NikeStore.

Sneakerheads had January to catch our breaths after an utterly immense spread of heat during the holiday season, but Nike has cranked it back up already to the point where it’s almost starting to feel like Christmas in February. From the Black History Month 2012 models to those commemorating this year’s NBA All-Star Game and a bunch of key drops in between, February has brought us a ton of pleasant surprises including the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ releasing along with the rest of the ASG buffet. Once thought to be a concept sample never to see the light of retail, this first-ever application of a graphical print to the original Foamposite silhouette keeps in line with the NASA-inspired theme, and might just be the single most impressive design we’ve seen for NBA All-Star 2012. Once reported as a Saturday drop, NikeStore now expects to have these on Thursday, February 23rd, and you can see some crisp new images of the supernova-emblazoned ‘Galaxy’ Foamposite Ones after the jump.
