NIKE AIR FORCE 1 HIGH The Nike Air Force 1 High is the highest hitting version of Bruce Kilgore's classic 1982 basketball design. The sneaker has long since occupied the retro realm, being readily available under the Nike Sportswear umbrella, albeit not to the same extent as the more popular Nike Air Force 1 Low.

We’ve known for quite some time that the Games of the XXX Olympiad kick off on July 27th, and though this Nike Air Force 1 High’s theme all but guaranteed its release during that model’s XXX Anniversary, we didn’t know exactly when that date would be. Recent images came with word that the ’Olympic’ Air Force 1 High would release in Q3, and now we know that ‘Fall 2012′ doesn’t mean these will arrive closer to the back-to-school season than the men’s basketball gold medal game. Quite to the contrary, in fact, as this AF1 High Dream Team homage is slated to arrive the very first day of the new season, Sunday, July 1st. You’ll have plenty of time to rock these as one of your white go-tos this summer before the torch arrives in the UK; where do they rank on your summer shopping list?

The significance of 2012 has proven to be more than just a game of telephone in the sneaker scene, where numerous anniversaries are pushing time-tested classics into the spotlight with as much energy as the top performance models. Key among these is the iconic Bruce Kilgore design that introduced the world to Frank Rudy’s Nike Air technology. Fittingly named after the aircraft reserved for the leader of the US Executive Branch, the Nike Air Force 1 has evolved from a cutting-edge industry leader to a modern fashion fundamental in its 30 years, and these new luxurious ‘Pioneer Leather’ pairs on NIKEiD coming up in June give you options on how to express that well-aged elegance. Rich grainy leathers pair up with suede so precisely textured you’ll experience synesthesia while examining the additional images on the other side. Let us know what you think of the latest in an impressive series of Air Force 1 iDs and stick with Sneaker News for next month’s new selections.

All these visuals of the NBA’s biggest superstars flying through arenas should only get you riled up for what’s about to go down this August. The world’s best will reprise their roles as part of the ‘Dream Team’, defending the Gold Medal honor while donning the Red/White/Blue and matching sneakers, which we’ve been keeping you on top since we first broke the news on the Nike Sportswear Olympic Pack earlier this year. While the Air Force 1 High didn’t see any on-court action in Barcelona back in ’92, it will still own the role as ‘anchor’ for the Pack while continuing the AF1-XXX celebration simultaneously. These are expected to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers this Fall 2012 season, so take a look at the new set of images below and stay tuned for more updates! Photos: kumastock

Sneaker News hasn’t profiled a single new Air Force 1 Mid release since January, so not only is it great news that a new pair is dropping right now, but also that it’s being joined by another AF1 that’s likely the more popular silhouette. The Nike Air Force 1 Mid in white leather with select Dark Obsidian accents is blocked in the same pattern as a Vivid Orange-accented Air Force 1 High, both of which sport the Uptown’s most basic color-on-white scheme. These are indispensible summertime sneakers whose color pops only add wearability, and they’re available now from Foot Locker and their House of Hoops specialty locations.

For all those Sneaker News readers out there too young to have celebrated one (which represents a hefty majority), the reason Nike Sportswear is giving the Air Force 1 so many pearl gifts is because that’s the traditional present to commemorate 30 years of wedded bliss. It’s with that in mind that the AF1-XXX ‘Pearl’ collection adds opalescent dubraes and generally premium construction to this three-decade dominator, the latest instance of which is likely the most rugged to date. The Nike Air Force 1 High DCN Military Boot goes in the opposite direction as the Lux Max Air drops, opting for a revised, strapless ankle and an earthy suede/nylon combo that’s sure to sell out with quickness just like the other XXX Pearl drops. Check these out in greater detail below and be ready when they arrive at Nike Sportswear retailers like Limited Edt soon.

The fifth installment of 2012′s Nike AF1 XXX collection continues with a rugged ‘Boot’ edition that has evolved from the clean and crisp Air Force 1 High ‘Pearl Collection’. The focus of this Air Force 1 Hi is ‘durability’ as it borrows cues from the classic military boot while using the Air Force 1 High Workboot construction as its base while utilizing boot eyestays and laces, metal hardware, and rugged solid gum outsole. The upper also pays homage to the Nike Special Field Boot with the suede/nylon dual-construction. Like the other exclusive members of the AF1 Pearl Collection this Air Force 1 High Boot features mother of pearl dubrets and aglets, a vintage sockliner, and a premium box. We’ll keep you updated on this sick Air Force 1 release so flip through the gallery below and we’ll keep you in tune with solid release information as it develops.

Are we overlooking one of the biggest NBA rivalries in history? Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have never crossed paths on any major stage of competition (so we’re not, by any means, comparing Kobe/LeBron to Bird/Magic or Jordan/Magic), but there really isn’t any ‘good blood’ between these two superstars. There certainly was heat between that 2010 Christmas Day matchup, when LeBron made his first trip to LA as a member of the Heat, and even teammate D-Wade took an inadvertent shot at Kobe which resulted in a nasal fracture…at the All-Star Game of all places. Kobe and LeBron are paired once again in this mini-Pack of Air Force 1 releases, as the Low takes shape as the Black Mamba while the High assumes the role of King James – so which release will come out on top? You can snag either pair of the Air Force 1s next Saturday, April 28th, as they are beginning to arrive at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Rock City Kicks, or grab the Black Mamba or King James now on eBay.
