Nike WMNS Terminator Hi Perf PRM QS + Terminator Hi Belt PRM QS

bam — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:30:32 +0000

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

Nike Dynasty Hi – Georgetown Hoyas – House of Hoops Exclusive

bam — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:00:20 +0000

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.

Air Jordan 12 Flu Game – 1997 OG – 2003 Retro – 2009 Retro – Comparison

Aaron Kr. — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:00:02 +0000

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.

Nike Big Nike Low LE – Oakland Raiders

bam — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:00:08 +0000

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.

Nike Foamposite One – Copper – Detailed Images

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
Color: Black/Metallic Copper
