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.

We already gave you a few looks at the Nike Pegasus 89 Berlin Wall including the teaser and some more detailed images. Now we bring you not only some more pics of Pegasus 89’s but also the very creative new setup that Nike has set up in their Spirit Room location in Berlin. The space was originally a gallery space, and was actually revamped into a street scene, using mediums like actual concrete to make things as authentic as possible. Even all the furniture boasts concrete and hand drawn graphics that add to the street effect. There is also a Nike hoodie available in black and grey to match the Pegasus 89’s with interchangeable Velcro patches, as well as a bag sporting similar graphics and design details. via Highsnobiety

Adam Goldstein’s loss was not only a shocker in the high-brow celebrity realm, but also hit close to home for many sneakerheads, as he was just as popular to us for his collection of 900+ pairs of serious heat.  As you may know, Deckstar and UNDFTD has started an eBay auction event which will provide all of its winning proceeds to the DJ AM Memorial Fund.

Our initial teaser to you guys gave a small glimpse of what was to be auctioned off to some lucky bidders.  With pairs being added every evening till the first week of December, a number of gems have already been revealed for open bidding.  Take a look below to check out what’s already out, contending for the heaviest hitters.  We think you would be quite surprised at which pair currently holds the highest bid.

It’s almost certain that no matter how much time has elapsed or what direction the brand takes in the future, Nike will probably never let go of donning a few pairs every now and then with the Hoyas look.  After all, it’s one of those things that helped Nike get where they are now.  With the Dynasty Hi getting good feedback since its return, it’s no surprise that the slick profile gets the Georgetown treatment.

Obviously taking on the dark navy and grey look, the team scheme is updated with the current pattern found on the Hoyas jerseys, with further team identity found on the tongue.  Athough the aesthetics are derived from athletic inspiration, the feel of these is definitely more formal and sophisticated.  Another House of Hoops exclusive, these will be available on the 19th also at LTD Online.

As you’re probably well aware by now, the “Flu Game” edition of the Air Jordan XII will be making its second go-around as a Retro model. Much to the dismay of some collectors, in addition to the new Flu Game graphics that have been included on the new version, the material of the upper has also been switched to suede. While this isn’t as big an issue to some as to others, the change is still very noticeable. Although the switch does give sneakerheads something to complain about, a look at the two previous versions shows that even the 2003 Retro featured some slight differences from the 1997 OG model.

As you can see through these comparison shots, the OG upper was a smooth leather, while the the 2003 Retro model sported a more full-grain pebbled leather look. Aside from the upper material and the special “Flu Game” touches, the only other major change is on the heel. The Jordan branding was Red on the two previous versions, but the new edition uses white Jordan text and a Red “23″ shout-out instead of the Black look of the others. If you’d like to analyze further, you can look through a ton of pics after the jump to see the three different variations, including some looks at even the GS and baby sizes of the OGs.  Via HoopChina.

The success of the Big Nike High is now transitioning to the low top version.  This Big Nike LE is a simple pallette of black with hits of silver, supposedly inspired by the Oakland Radiers.  A closer look reveals an interesting mesh layout on the mid panel and the toebox.  Not your typical mesh weaving, is is more of a cargo-net construction.  The black material against the white backlay creates a nice contrast.  Further associating itself with the NFL team, the typical giant Nike branding on the heel is replaces with small branding placed on a shield.  Expect these to drop soon at Footlocker.

Penny Hardaway won a gold medal at Atlanta’s 1996 Summer Olympic Games, but the Nike Foamposite One in Anfernee’s namesake copper is perhaps the all-time best.  This shiny metallic edition of the Foamposite One has been seen a couple times on rapper Wale’s feet, and should be an immediate sell out, no matter how many end up hitting retailers.  Here’s yet another case of ‘perfect’ feet getting all the luck: there’s a single pair available in US mens size 8.5 at Marquee Sole.

Style: 314996-081

It’s been a slow (re-)start for the Nike Air Max ST.  Originally unveiled as a US retro (it never went away in Europe) back with a fall release, there have been just a handful of colourways.  This should open up a bit starting next spring, and the above pictured colourway is a good example of what to expect.  The bright accent colours remind us of the golden era of Nike running, but the careful use of white, greys and black shows how well Nike has balanced their kicks of late.  These might be a collaboration with Oqium, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via HB
