Nike is continuing to deliver some of it’s classic models only to have gone a vintage treatment to make them look as if you stashed them away for a decade in your garage only to find them right before selling them off at your yearly yard sale. The latest shoes to have gone through the vintage treatment are these two pairs of Cortez running shoes, one in a Amber Brown/Red colorway and the other in a Navy and Green colorway. The two pairs of shoes should be hitting select Nike retailers in the upcoming weeks as they are a part of the larger Nike Sportswear Fall 2008 Collection. via Urban

The second pair of Vandal’s from Nike’s Vintage Vandal pack is this pair of Black and Gold Vandal’s that also feature an original colorway of the Vandal only with a vintage execution to them. The nearly complete Nylon upper is distressed to give it a vintage feel whereas the sole of the shoe is a bit discolored to make it look even more like it’s been stashed away in some collector’s closet for years and years.

With little notice, Adidas has just released a Vintage Superstar as part of an Old/New Pack. The sneakers feature tan antique leather stripes over a fine black suede with a luxurious leather inner lining. Rather than the usual rubber toe box, this pair employs soft leather in its place for the full vintage effect. Released just two days ago, they are now available at Ran Shop in the UK, no word on availability elsewhere. No word on the second shoe either.

Nike first began their Vintage series last year with many nylon models of classic running shoes, such as the Oregon Waffle and the LD-1000. Each style of shoe was brought back from the 1970’s and every pair came with aged laces, slightly weathered uppers, and yellowed midsoles — fresh out of the box. Earlier this year, they moved onto a vintage basketball classics, making aged versions of the Vandal High and Dunk High. To add to the list of vintage sneakers, Nike is planning to release two different pairs Vintage Blazer Highs and a pair of Vintage Cortez’s. The Blazers will be released in red and blue suede and Cortez will be red on white leather. via sneakers.fr

Nike released two classic colorways of the Terminator in ‘Vintage’ form, including the Georgetown colorway, this past Spring and collectors and casual sneaker heads welcomed it with open arms. Nike Vintage is back at it again with two new colorways for this Summer which dropped earlier this week. One keeps to the classic color blocks in white and green and the other in “Michigan” colors of navy and yellow. As with the rest of the Nike Vintage sneakers, everything from the leather upper, sole, laces, and stitching have been pre-treated and pre-weathered to give them an old school, worn-in look fresh out the box. Look for these two colorways at Nike retailers now, we found them at the Rivington Club.
