Nike Sportswear is really maximizing the Air Vortex this year, particularly in VNTG form. This latest vintage Nike Air Vortex colorway features the kind of palette that could only have come from the 2010s, a vibrant Laser and Grand Purple plus Cyber yellow combination made immeasurably better by its tonal brown mid/outsole setup. This subtly expressive bottom along with a grey liner provide a buffer for the downright explosive upper, so check them out in greater detail below, then find yours on sale at NSW retailers like Caliroots.

The recently introduced Mach Force is a 2012 debut that hearkens back to late 80s basketball aesthetics. Given the overlap in its name, you might think the Nike Mach Runner is a similar kind of faux-retro, but that’s only because it’s been out of circulation for something like a decade. In fact, the Mach Runner is one of the original Nike running shoes, a 1976 release that makes a triumphant return in an OG-ish colorway combining white, Neutral Grey and Royal Blue. More good news from Nike Sportswear for the suede and mesh faithful, this Mach Runner is up for grabs at stores like Rock City Kicks.

It appears that this new combo of Black and Gold will take over Nike Sportswear’s Turf-style shoes, with the Nike Zoom Turf Jet ’97 joining with the two Nike Griffey releases in this incredible “Elite Away” composition. The Turf Jet ’97 takes advantage of the gold, using the midsole pod to give the winning color some added pop, while the choice embroidery on the Swoosh gives these a sick Championship-like appeal. A full shot is just ahead, so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release info as these will drop soon with a $140 price-tag.

Another throwback to the 80′s (or 1987, more specifically) is in the works for 2013, as we get another look at an exciting Retro return of the Nike Air Revolution in a White/Red/Black/Grey colorway. As the first Nike Basketball shoe to feature Nike Air in visible window form, the Nike Air Revolution is as a significant icon in the Nike catalog as any other, so expect a rather strong response to these when the Revolution officially hits stores later this year as a Nike Sportswear offering. We’ve got additional angles of this clean OG-style colorway after the jump, so give it a review and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release updates.

Nike is synonymous with its Air Max running series. And while New Balance or Asics heritage releases might have the tightest correlation with suede and mesh atop time-tested wedge soles, it’s not like Beaverton just came up with the most influential line of running sneakers out of thin air. Models like the Nike Air Solstice predate the Tinker Hatfield era, and Nike Sportswear is doing a great job of giving these veterans the spotlight they deserve with premium builds like this latest Quickstrike. Let us know how this Court Blue Solstice compares to the ‘Reflective’ QSes that hit last year, and stick with Sneaker News for release info.

That Nike Zoom Hyperflight sample with that full length bag on bottom just got a lot more interesting. We present to you the Nike Vis Zoom Hyperflight, done up here in an eye-popping “Hologram” colorway. The Nike Zoom Hyperflight proper of course got a retro this year via the “Superhero” pack, a group that was apparently just the beginning as far as graphics on the Hyperflight series is concerned. Aside from the obvious addition of the bag on bottom, the sneaker also features a reworked graphic on the tongue and a different set up for the mini perforations across the upper. This futuristic colorway is one that even has some Marty McFly leanings to it, immediately reminding some 80s babies of the lenticular cap that that character rocked in Back to the Future II. Continue reading to see a full set of shots on the crazy Nike Vis Zoom Hyperflight “Hologram” and let us know if this is a pair you’re hoping to pick up in the future.
