Today marks Jackie Robinson Day – a momentous day in which Major League Baseball honors the accomplishments of Jackie Robinson with league-wide celebrations and the #42 seen on the back of every player’s uniform. This special colorway of the Nike Air Swingman MVP Cleat is inspired by Jackie Robinson’s past in the Army, with the “Come Out Fighting” mantra reflecting that of his tank battalion in World War II. Built off the same upper as the Nike Air Griffey Max 360 (which also released in this colorway), the Nike Air Swingman MVP “Jackie Robinson” Cleat has a military-inspired theme, with Army-style patches embroidered on the tongue, camouflage on the insole, and Jackie’s “42″ debossed onto the heel. These are available now at select Nike Baseball retailers like Dicks and will be worn by select players today, so check out the gallery below.

The Nike Training resurrection begun just a few years ago has been so wildly successful that you might miss the latest additions to the family if you so much as blink. The newest Swoosh cross-trainer combines the time-tested cushioning from Max Air with a grooved forefoot for the best of both worlds, as the Nike Air Max Compete TR makes its grand debut in black and Pimento. There’s also a bit of Sport Turquoise that really serves to set these apart from your average ‘bred’ colorway, so check them out after the jump, then grab a pair from Kicks-crew.

Wale is a guy who you can trust to bring out something aside from the standard Air Jordan/Foamposite/Nike Basketball stuff that the majority of rappers out there seemed to be obsessed with (Just check this small selection of his sneaks for proof). This time around the DMV rapper is spotted rocking the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid, that Agassi Frankenstein silhouette that made its debut in 2009. Continue reading for another shot of Wale wearing this seldom seen trainer and tell us in the comments if you’ve got the Nike Air Tech Challenge Hybrid in your personal rotation.

Sole Swap‘s latest is a Nike Zoom Turf Jet ’97 with a University of Oregon look. Wait a minute, isn’t there already a retail pair that did that? And didn’t Sole Swap already remix that very pair? Yes on both accounts, but this new version manages to set itself apart regardless. The base pair is an earlier grey version, which in turn gets lit up by Oregon’s yellow and green tones (And there’s even the almighty “O” on the back end). Continue reading for more photos on the Nike Zoom Turf Jet ’97 “Oregon Alternate” customs and tell us in the comments how they compare to the previous pair.

In one sense, the Nike Free Advantage is self-evident in its barefoot-mimicking grooved construction. Taken another way, this phrase describes the latest ladies lowtop from Nike Training, a style that should be right at home as a counterpart to the ever popular TR Fit series. This new Hope Solo and Perri Shakes-Drayton co-signed silo utilizes a Free 3.0 sole and a heavily ventilated upper to give you the maximum performance from minimalist footwear, and you can see two new colorways up close after the jump below.

Following back to back American League MVP seasons in 1993 and ’94, Reebok zeroed in on Chicago White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas. Maximizing the strengths of this superstar player feared for his power at the plate, RBK named Thomas’ signature series after the nickname describing his stature and its capacities. The Reebok Big Hurt returns some seventeen years after its debut, this sample evincing a few alterations as compared to the 1996 originals. The colorway is a mix of the first two, with the red-Vector’d branding from the inverted white/black edition borrowed to add some extra flare to this white-striped black suede OG. Subtle shifts at the midsole include a Hexalite cutout at the heel, so have a closer look below and stick with Sneaker News for release info.
