This Saturday, Nike will release the all-new Nike Zoom Revis 1 – a signature football training shoe for NFL superstar Darrelle Revis. Although Revis has been sidelined with a knee injury, that hasn’t stopped him from keeping his training at the highest level, nor has it quelled his excitement for the release of his new Nike sigs. In this video, Revis talks about the specific details and design of the ZR1, calling out his roots in the Pittsburgh area and his relationship with his father. A video as well as new detailed shots of the shoe are right ahead, so check it out and stay tuned for the release this Saturday at Champs Yardline in Wayne, NJ’s Willowbrook Mall.

It hasn’t been since the days of Michael Vick that Nike has put out such a great signature shoe for an NFL athlete. What makes the Revis 1 that much more interesting is that fact that Darrelle Revis plays on the defensive side of things, and typically football star-status is given to the QBs, RBs, and WRs of the game. We’ve confirmed the release of the Revis 1 to be November 19th in three colorways, but Darrelle himself just hit us up with a slew of colorways that we’ve never seen before, like the Red/Black and a Blackout colorway. Check out all six after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more updates regarding this below-the-radar signature sneaker.

Nike Sportswear’s lineup of classic trainers continues to gain success with each new bringback, and with the Swoosh now finding itself as the NFL’s exclusive outfitter, the timing is right to make a big jump back into the gridiron shoe game. Nike has been a leader in cleats for a good while and now they’ll make another push into that Bo Jackson/Deion Sanders/Brett Favre space with a new signature model for one of the league’s most dynamic talents. The Nike Zoom Revis (which Sneaker News broke the news one) pairs a Flywire upper with prominent midfoot strap on this midcut silo we’ve seen twice now in a Chicago Bulls-leaning colorway to which you can’t help but connect a certain level of success. You’ve gotta expect that New York Jets and other palettes are on tap for Darrelle Revis, so click through to see more and stick with Sneaker News for the Zoom Revis release date.

Now that Nike’s got a good grip on the NFL is it possible we’ll see them outfitting various players with signature sneakers? Could such a move potentially make its way into the casual/lifestyle realm the same way that the LeBron, Kobe, and Durant lines have? If that does indeed happen you might be looking at one of the first shots to be fired, as New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis recently popped up in this never before seen Nike sneaker. The Trainer-inspired design featured a thick mid-foot strap reminiscent of the original Air Yeezy with a Swoosh placed on the heel like the Zoom Huarache TR Mids of 2010, so perhaps we’ll see a turf-ready model when Revis and the Jets take the field again later this year. We’ll keep you updated on more information of this potential signature sneaker (maybe the Nike Zoom Revis? Nike Trainer Revis?) and let us know what you think.

With Nike taking the helm of the NFL’s on-field jerseys and equipment in 2012, consumers and athletes can expect an even more emphatic focus on one of Nike’s most indestructible pillars – Nike Training. Nike invited select media from around the globe to experience Nike Football at its finest, outlining its earliest and most honored roots and introducing some new and innovative products. At center stage of the information session was the revolutionary Nike SPARQ Sensory Performance, which, according to Nike SPARQ Performance Director Paul Winsper, allows them to ‘integrate both sensory and physical training together’ and build the best athletes in the world. Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback and Oregon Ducks alum Dennis Dixon demonstrated a few of the tailor-made Nike SSP drills, which we, in a nutshell, can describe as an exponentially advanced form of rubbing your belly and patting yourself on the head simultaneously. Trust us – it’s a lot tougher than it sounds. The results of the SSP tests could then be compared to scores achieved by others in the same sport, giving the athlete an idea of where improvements could be made and to highlight the athlete’s peak talents. Dr. Alan Reichow, Global Research Director of Nike SSP, boils it down even more concisely by stating that SSP allows the athlete to ‘see sport better’.
In addition to the Nike Football/Training educational experience, the media attendees were given a rare opportunity to test Nike’s newest training tools side-by-side with top-flight football players at Nike World Headquarters as well as on the Autzen Stadium field (home of the Oregon Ducks). The marquee training tools introduced during the training session was Nike Hyperwarm Shield Mock Top and the Nike SPARQ Vapor Strobe Eyewear (available online and at select retailers for $300); the Vapor Strobe is a high-tech set of stylish goggles that purposefully inhibits an athlete’s sight via vision-blocking blinking strobes at various frequencies, allowing the athlete to rely on and refine sensory abilities. NFL superstars such as Greg Jennings, Darrelle Revis, and Larry Fitzgerald have trained with the Vapor Strobe and have individually concluded that Nike’s state-of-the-art Training methods as well as the advanced performance gear have directly contributed to their individual success in a sport that rewards training more than any other. Nike has played a major role in the overall increase in athleticism and performance in the NFL for decades, and with the implementation of Nike SPARQ Sensory Performance and game-changing tools like the Vapor Strobe, expect the bar to be raised even higher.

Not a one of Tom Brady’s three touchdown passes in Sunday night’s romp over the New York Jets came from receivers defended by cornerback Darrelle Revis. The Pro Bowl DB is enjoying another fine season, but he’ll need to turn on the afterburners to help the Jets capture one of the AFC’s wild card playoff berths. Gang Green fans will hope niceties like this personalized Air Jordan III Retro won’t turn Revis Island into a cushy place to visit. These laser etched Black Cements shout out Darrelle’s Pennsylvania home town and add his number 24 in huge block type to the lateral ankles. Check them out in greater detail after the jump and let us know where these rank in a year when we’ve seen quite a variety of black Air Jordan 3s. via John Geiger
