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

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

With the near-complete proliferation of broadband, we’ve been hooked to YouTube for at least three years now.  This project represents perhaps the most clever use of online video to promote a sneaker collaboration.  For their upcoming ‘Skippy’ edition of the New Balance 850, Australian magazine Sneaker Freaker cranked the kitschy/’viral’ knob up to 11 and produced a teaser clip for ol Skippy that’ll have you in stitches.  As for the shoes themselves, we also get an extensive detailed look at the rarely used 850, enhanced by kangaroo leather and a colourway that is all at once unreasonable and unavoidably brilliant.  They’re set to drop on December 5th, so in the meantime, peep over a dozen new photos and the Skippy ‘trailer’ video after the jump.

LIVESTRONG releases from Nike this year have put a vicegrip on black/yellow just like ‘Chicago’ did with white/black/red or how most things you see in purple/gold remind you of ‘Lakers’.  While this effect is undoubtedly a benefit to the cause of crushing cancer, it might lead to some confusion over these latest Nike Air Max 90s.  While they’re not endorsed by Lance Armstrong or his charitable organization, they do look fresh with a mix of black, greys and yellow.  You can grab a pair of these today, only from JD Sports.

Ben Drury’s teaser photos back in April gave us our first glimpse of his ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’ Nike Air Max 90 for Dizzee Rascal, along with another pair for himself that we expected to see in boot form.  Turns out, the metal hook eyelet at midfoot is just a design element on Drury’s Nike Air Max 90 Current.  They keep the boot laces and look like they’d perform pretty well with a mesh toebox and perforated suede on the rear.  The navy and white look would be perfect for Yankee fans, but the tongue tags rep for London, and implore you to ‘Trust Me’.  Now that you’re suggestible, grab yours at 21 Mercer St.

Global fame can bring all kinds of riches.  From special editions to collaborations and some that owe their own place in streetwear to celebrity fans, we see all kinds of celebrity sneaker trends.  In this edition, peep what Method Man’s boy RZA is reppin on his ‘W’-emblazoned rug.  The way the offwhite shag carpeting drapes into the tighter-cut logo in the middle is pretty amazing, but don’t get distracted and miss the man’s kicks! 

Never one to fit in, you notice that RZA seems not to care about keeping up with the Wales and Cudis of the world, but there’s still a place in his sole for Air Jordans, Nike Air Max 90 Boots, Reebok ATR basketball sneakers, adidas kicks, Timberland boots and a pink and blue pair that looks to be the Puma Clyde (or Suede, perhaps).  Those all might be decoys, though, since we picture him more like these photos: rocking a pair of crisp Clarks Wallabees.  Enjoy more shots of RZA shooting the new Supreme lookbook at the Wu-compound in Jersey.  via SDSD

The last time this trio got together and designed a New Balance 580 runner, the results were quite flashy.  The Full Metallic Jacket Pack went hard in three shiny leather models ready for war, but their recent teamwork has resulted in something more in line with the general tendency toward ‘maturity’ in streetwear.  The Undefeated x Stussy x Hectic x New Balance MT580 ‘SMU’ has a name more complex than its relatively simple design.  They borrow the black/white/gum palette we’ve seen several times this year, but send it in a totally different direction with the purple lining.  Stick with Sneaker News for more on their release.  via Warp

Since its birth just under a year ago, the Nike Twilight has ever so skillfully encompassed the last 20 years of Nike Running shoes.  From its construction, which draws heavily on Air Stab, Air Pegasus and Air Structure Triax, to the nu-retro colourways, the Twilight runner is one of the best balanced kicks in its class.  The pair pictured above comes to us in a colourway that’s hot amongst today’s styles: a mix of browns and bright red, yet we can remember seeing something similar a long time back.  That’s the magic of this pair of Twilights, and you can grab yours from Purchaze.

Style: 344290-261
Color: Dark Cinder/Berry-Rustic Birch
