The Nike Sportswear VT collection isn’t done just yet, with a few more models still set to impact for the holiday season. One of the last ones to hit shelves is the Nike Air Force 1 High VT shown here in a mixture of shiny greys across the molded upper. The way the greys fade in and out gives this Nike Air Force 1 High VT Supreme release an extra bit of character, allowing for a bit more variation within the sneaker in contrast to the wool and tweed joints. Is this the VT release you’ve been waiting for or have you already had your fill of the Vac-Tech look? If you need them in your rotation be sure to hit up Extra Butter after you check out the rest of the photos after the jump.

Nike Sportswear’s VacTech collection for the holiday season has seen a variety of applications spread across some of NSW’s best loved staple silhouettes, and while there’s been some overlap between silhouettes, this is the only pack that unites multiple pairs as a single unified drop. The NSW VT Haystack QSes are a trio of wheat-suede vacuum-constructed classics whose corded laces have them feeling more like the classic 6″ Timberland work boot than pretty much every earlier pair that’d carried the name. The Nike Dunk High, Air Force 1 High and Air Max 90 each perform admirably with this faux-rugged aesthetic, and though you can take your time in deliberating which pair(s) to get with the images we have waiting for you after the jump, you should act quickly because these Haystack Quickstrikes are sure to leave the shelves of stores like Extra Butter soon after they’re stocked on November 12th.

‘VacuumTechnology’. That curious translation found at the top of the latest release announcement from Tokyo’s Nike Harajuku might have you picturing one of those ball-powered Dyson cleaners. Nike Sportswear probably realized a name like that would end up with some interesting Google results, so luckily, the naming minds over in Beaverton came up with something a little snappier to match this season’s most prominent fabrication method. The NSW VacTech collection rolls on with a new slate of drops including Nike Air Force 1 Highs and Lows, an Air Max 90 to match the AF1 High and three Dunk Highs, two of which also matches AF1s. They range from all-suede to all-glossy patent leather, and you can see each of these six pairs in additional images after the jump. Let us know which model wins this round and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release dates.

The first pair of Lows popped up on eBay over the weekend, so you know the Nike Air Force 1 High VacTech is right around the corner. Pictured above is an all-grey edition of the AF1 High VT, a model that gains considerable textural contrast from a molded leather toe giving way to the woolen hindfoot and ankle strap. There’s a Dunk High on the way with the same dark grey wool and on both pairs, the white midsole is both a reminder of some of their respective all-time great colorways and the classic era from which the designs are borrowed.

The sneaker world’s reliance upon tonal designs in the wake of 2008′s financial meltdown has left some looking for a bit more flash, while those who are making the most of the variety of clean options available are revelling in an unprecedented array of styles to serve as subtle outfit anchors. The Nike Sportswear Vac-Tech collection makes simple colorways look even better with its elegant molding, and today we’ll take a look at what kinds of simply satisfying stuff is on tap for the rest of the year. Ten different models can be seen in this post, all of them either Nike Air Force 1 High VTs or Lows, Air Max 90s or Dunk Highs, each impressive in its own right. They range from totally tonal to slight contrasts along the sole, and even one pair that mixes in leather plus wool on the upper along with the ubiquitous white Dunk midsole. This is the kind of capsule that can have you imagining an entire rainbow of possibilities and this set of cool colors for Holiday 2011 has us hoping spring follows with something equally appropriate. Click through to see em all, let us know which is your favorite and stick with Sneaker News for the US release dates. via HS

The sneakers from Nike that we’ve seen so far using the beautiful Vac-Tech process have stuck to one material on the upper, driving home the molded look. Well this one is a bit of a mash-up, using leather on the front end in the same vain as this AF1 and wool on the back end a la a the Air Force 1 Low shown here. The Frankstein result of those two being combined is a shoe with an internal contrast in the materials, with the sleek black leather of the toe area differing quite a bit from the more organic feel generated by the wool treatment on the back. Atmos has them now and we’ll be the first with the info when they hit stateside. Let us know in the comments below how these stack up against the other Vac-Tech releases from Nike.

‘Metallic Pewter’ Foamposite Ones? Sick. Air Force 1 Foamposites? Dope; every colorway a quick sell-out. AF1s with Vac-Tech construction? Equally impressive if not with the same technical edge. Can you see from this progression how much of a can’t-miss the above pictured model is? A model that can be seen as the culmination of a few different threads from the recent history of Nike Sportswear, theNike Air Force 1 High VT looks pretty dang amazing in this pewter colorway. The level of detail they achieve from the molded leather uppers is pretty much what you’d expect were the shoe literally cast in the malleable metal for which it’s named; is the colorway even better than the Foam Ones? Click through to get a better look and expect these at NSW retailers soon. via SF

There are always plenty of potential gifts available at retailers as we move into the holiday season, but perhaps better than ever before, this year Nike Sportswear has absolutely nailed their Q4 sneaker offerings. NSW’s Holiday 2011 menu features a variety of Nike Air Force 1 VT heights and textures, joined by Vac-Tech constructed Dunks and the Lunar MacLeay ACG, which features similarly embossed channels down its sides. A new Air Footscape Woven Chukka Motion rounds out this magnificent seven, and you can see images of the entire set by clicking on the jump below. via HB
