Autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains provides one of the East Coast’s most breathtaking views of the falling forest, this new Nike Convention Low JP a reminder that the leaves will soon turn and college pigskin will once again be played in Charlottesville, Virginia and on campuses around the country. This new Convention Low looks like a UVA football jersey plus a bit of the ball for the toe and eyestay, an orange and brown combo whose navy accents balance the design nicely, even as the corded laces push these back towards an outdoorsy look.

Are you ready for the upcoming Nike Convention? No, we’re not talking about Sneaker Con in New York this Saturday, June 18th (though you owe it to yourself to be there if you can make it), but rather the Swoosh’s own arranged gathering. But in the case of the Nike Convention Low, it’s a reference to the way things are (were) commonly done, i.e. the combination of familiar early-mid ’80s basketball aesthetics into a new lifestyle model. And this new Japan-exclusive pack takes it a bit further, bringing in some classically ACG-style aesthetics to prove that this faux-baller has a rugged side. Click through to see more angles of both pairs and stick with Sneaker News for word on their US release date; Kix-Files just started shipping their pairs.

During the last quarter of 2010, Nike Sportswear released a new model based on the design conventions from the Swoosh’s ’80s basketball classics. They called it the Nike Convention and a number of colorways hit retailers ranging from the classic two-toned varsity look to a wildly-colored ACG-inspired pack. That mix of wild colors with a splattered midsole carries over to these new Convention Low JPs, a duo that’s even closer to the heart of the All Conditions Gear theme thanks to Safari print on the toebox and eye plackets. Click through to see two new colorways, but since they’re noted with a ‘JP’ designation for Japan-exclusive release, US sneakerhead will need to get yours at an online retailer like Kicks-crew.
