This sneaker in now available at NikeStore.com.

With all the hype surround Nike’s use of Flywire technology in the lauded Hyperdunk, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the lightweight and strength of Flywire isn’t necessarily limited to only basketball shoes. The Nike Zoom Victory + is a great example of this advanced technology at work in a different field. With the aforementioned Flywire, Zoom Air units, and a full phylon midsole, it’s pretty clear Nike didn’t skimp on the technology used in these shoes; they’ve definitely created one of the best running shoes on the market. With a nice clean white and red colorway, accented by silver flywire, these shoes will have you sprinting in style! For the runners out there who only want the best, the Zoom Victory + surely won’t disappoint. Available now at both Finishline.com and NikeStore.com.

With all the hype surround Nike’s use of Flywire technology in the lauded Hyperdunk, it’s sometimes easy to forget that the lightweight and strength of Flywire isn’t necessarily limited to only basketball shoes. The Nike Zoom Victory + is a great example of this advanced technology at work in a non-basketball shoe. With the aforementioned Flywire, Zoom Air units, and a full phylon midsole, it’s pretty clear Nike didn’t skimp on the technology used in these shoes. They hardly skimped on the aesthetic value either; the primarily black and white body is accented by a number of yellow “volt” accents, best seen in the laces, swoosh, and flywire, creating a very electric appearance. For the runners out there who only want the best, the Zoom Victory + surely won’t disappoint. Available now at both Finishline.com and NikeStore.com.

With the release of two additional chapters to the Air Safari 87’s story this past Spring and Summer, we felt it was time to take a look back to the 2003 retro and some of the sneakers inspired by the Safari 87’s OG colors in the past few years since. Starting with the newest on the left the Keep Rippin Stop Slippin Air Max 1 release June 2008, the Air Force 1 Safari released April 2008, Air Oasis Safari released July 2006 and the Air Safari 87 Retro released in 2003. We also took a look at the Air Max 1 Safari designed by Atmos released in 2002.
Take a look with us at this collection of sneakers inspired by “Safari”.

Left: History of Air | Right: 2008 Retro
By now most of you have heard that Nike has retro-ed the classic Air Max 95 Neon once again, this time coming out along side the Air Force 1 Neon and Court Force High Neon AM95 inspired colorways. However, what many of you have not noticed the differences between this version and the last retro during the History of Air Celebration. We’re only too happy to provide a side by side comparison of the HOA Version and the 2008 Retro for your reading enjoyment! With the classic AM 95 on the left (HOA), sporting a charcoal gray front, and the new (2008) retro edition on the right with a black toe, the differences between the two editions are VERY subtle to the eye. Other than the general replacing of charcoal gray with black, other differences include a switch of black and gray on the Air Max 95 logo, a different insole, different materials on the lining, and a very subtle coloration difference between the shades of white used on each pair, although that difference may be simply chalked up to the age of the original versus the new edition. With the replacement of the charcoal grey with the black, the neon definitely pops a lot more. For those of you lucky enough to get your hands on the quickstrike retro, more power to you for picking up such a great edition of a classic pair of kicks. For those who didn’t, you definitely missed out on one of the best drops of this year! Thanks Matt (Alife) for the heads up on the differences.

The Nike Air Woven inspired by the annual Dragon Boat Festival is finally available after we first announced it back in early May. The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dwueen Ng Festival was originated in ancient China after the high official Wut Yuen (c. 340 BC-278 BC) committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. He did so after he found out that Chu had lost a vital battle. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so that they would not eat Wut Yuen’s body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat because the people loved him so much. This will be the first sneaker to celebrate this ancient Chinese Festival. These are now available in select stores in China and Hong Kong and online at RMK Store and eBay.
