The first round of colorways came fairly early in 2013, and now we’re lucky enough to get a second round of Nike Air Base II releases for summer. Here’s one that uses the Air Base 2′s signature sweeping lines to create a strong contrast, as the Atomic Red eyestay adds a burst of energy to an otherwise black/grey/white base. Let us know how these compare to the first drops from this year after you’ve seen more photos, then get ready for what looks like a late June release at select Nike Sportswear dealers.

With January’s reintroduction including the OG colorway having already touched down, let’s get deeper into the spring 2013 selection of Nike Air Base II releases. February sees the new pairs switch over from VNTG pre-yellowing to a more pristine look, this black and Cool Grey edition accented by Team Orange and Atomic Teal atop a white midsole. That versatile teal shade has been at the center of Nike Sportswear’s catalog this season; have a closer look below so you can see how this new Air Base II compares to the other examples, then grab yours at Titolo.

A heavy Retro push from the Running Sportswear catalog is expected this Spring, with the Air Max 1, 90, 95, and 97 getting plenty of push in OG/VNTG and EM form. The Air Base II is also making a first-ever comeback this season without the Air Base II markings on the upper, with several OG and new compositions headed our way; this VNTG’d out Infrared colorway is beginning to pop at stores overseas, so check out the images below and stay tuned for a release in the States.

There are quite a few runners coming up from the Nike Retro category in the next couple of weeks-time to prioritize people. Holding things down for the non-Air Max side is the Nike Air Base II, with some of the around-the-bend pairs getting tinted with a slight vintage treatment. This pair is one of them, also sporting a fairly neutral set of blacks and greys with purple for the pop. Click through to get the images and watch for these at spots like Afew soon.

Fans of Retro runners rejoiced with 2012′s re-issue of the original Tailwind (the first shoe to feature ‘Air’) as well as several other OG runners, but don’t expect this throng of throwback to stop next year. We already hit you with info on the return of the Nike Air Base II, and here we have another detailed look at the 2013 release of the OG ‘Eggplant’ colorway. As mentioned before, we must point out the major difference between OG and ’13 Retro – the latter doesn’t have the AIR BASE II markings on the side of the shoe! These are likely to be scooped up quick, so peep the gallery below and we’ll hit you with more finite release details as they surface.

Looking ahead into 2013, there are already a good number of Nike Air Max retros stacking up that heads have slotted into the ‘must have’ category-the ‘Infrared’, ‘Sport Red’, and ‘USA’ among them. There are also some runners on tap sans-bubble that should have OG heads excited as well, the Nike Air Base II pictured here being one of them. The colorway previewed is one of the busier ones on deck, cramming in a good number of colors on the upper of the sneaker, with almost every separate section latching on to a different shade. Click through with us to check out the Nike Air Base II retro and stick with Sneaker News for word on a release date.

When adidas Originals showed off new colorways of their classic Tech Super runner last week, we were reminded of how major brands have enjoyed significant success with resurrecting some of their more obscure running OGs. Asics and New Balance have given their brands new relevance as fans learn to appreciate the value of a timeless design, and of course, Nike Sportswear has sprinted so far out in front in this category with plenty of heat still in the vaults. The latest obscure resurrection is the Nike Air Base II, pictured here with VNTG treatments that make this quintessentially early ’90s colorup appear as if it were on ice for those two decades. Click through to see more of from a time that helped make Nike the dominant leader it is today and stick with Sneaker News to see when these return to retail.
