Nike Air Safari VNTG – Black – Night Stage – Pure Platinum

Aaron Hope — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 22:30:31 +0000

It’s a bit strange that during this peak of tremendous pattern activity on sneakers, one of Nike’s iconic prints and its namesake silhouette has been utterly silent in 2013. Luckily, more Nike Air Safari VNTG colorways are coming soon, including this new revelation in black, Night Stage and Pure Platinum. It’s got an uncredited yellow shade peeking out from the edges of the outsole, but is otherwise in line with the timeless elegance of classic black/white. This suggests the one pair we’ve seen previewed in ’13 will be following shortly, so stick with Sneaker News for updates and grab this new Air Safari today from Nike Sportswear shops like Overkill.

Brendan Dunne — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 00:00:28 +0000

We try and keep you up on what rappers and other celebs are wearing these days in terms of sneakers, but let’s keep in mind that rappers have had the trainer game on lock long before the current bubble of “sneakerhead” interest. Evidence comes here in the form of a handful of classic sneaker-featured album covers of yesteryear. Some that come to mind are Biz Markie in his Nike Air Safari, LL Cool J in some Air Jordan 1s, Three Times Dope with a mean set of Air Jordan IIIs, and the endless Run DMC x adidas moments. Click through with us for a walk down memory lane and then check out the greater group of classic rap album cover sneaker sightings on FNG and Classic Kicks.

Nike Air Safari VNTG “Classic Stone”

Aaron Hope — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:00:46 +0000

After a brief respite following 2012′s various 25th anniversary celebratory measures, the Nike Air Safari returns with a new Vintage colorway. The first VNTG Air Safaris since July, this one comes in Classic Stone and Anthracite, and while the color names and box label suggest these are antique, there’s no sign of pre-yellowing, abrasions or other obvious signs pointing to that suffix. It is indeed a timeless color combo as you’ll see in more photos after the jump, but stick with Sneaker News to make sure you’re aware promptly when they release this May.

Sneaker News Top 30 of 2012

Sneaker News — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:00:12 +0000

For better or worse, 2012 was a defining year for the sneaker world and all that it encompasses. It was a year that saw certain shoes throw the laws of supply and demand so out of whack, that brands and retailers had to completely rethink the way they sell shoes to the public just to keep the peace. If you were willing to put in some legwork or, better yet, had the right connections, it was a banner year for sneaker enthusiasts. “Must-have” releases seemed to be at an all-time high and nearly every weekend offered up some sort of temptation for consumers. 2012 saw the release of some of the most eagerly anticipated and passionately sought-after sneakers the game had ever seen and it’s safe to say that things will never be the same again.

In between those, there were plenty of other desirable targets along the way, from the special limited editions and collaborations to beloved Retro returns and promising new designs and innovations. There were even a few certified sleeper hits that organically carved out their place among the year’s best releases. Due to an exponentially expanding consumer base and a heightened level of product awareness, you might not have been able to get your hands on every shoe you hunted for in 2012, but there was certainly no shortage of solid alternatives ripe for the picking in their absence.

Nike Air Safari – Black – Solar Red

Brendan Dunne — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 09:00:58 +0000

The retro treatment for the Nike Air Safari is apparently not going to be solely a 25th anniversary affair, with pairs popping up well into 2013. Shown here is a colorway that will be arriving as of next year, a ‘Bred’ looking version that grabs at solar red for the small amount of color that it packs in. Stay with us after the jump for a complete view of the Nike Air Safari and grab them on pre-order right now from the folks at Titolo.

Nike Sportswear Grey/Navy Collection

Aaron Hope — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 16:00:50 +0000

New Balance is the brand most strongly associated with grey and navy blue suede and mesh retro running designs, but if you consider the vast Nike Sportswear catalog, it makes sense that many of these styles would also flourish under such traditionally elegant conditions. NSW brings forth a new collection featuring eight different styles split into two sets of four silos, as the Nike Air Safari continues its 25th anniversary alongside Air Max 90s, Air Epics and Free Powerlines+es in grey and navy as part of the appropriately frilllessly-named capsule. NSW nails the NB steez with a solid variety of kicks and complimenting apparel, and the grey joints will drop this Friday, September 28th, followed by the blues one week later on October 5th.
