With sneaker culture growing at a rapid pace across not only the United States but the entire world, there are more and more sneaker companies looking to make a name for themselves by finding a small target audience to cater to. Lately we’ve seen a number of brands try and emulate high fashion brands and blend a mix of both luxury and street together into a sneaker. While many have tried, few have succeeded, however this new Nike Air Elan gives us a change in perspective around the whole high end sneaker concept. This Nike shoe blends a classic silhouette with premium leather and a slightly redefined shape. Look for this shoe to drop as a part of the Nike Sportswear Spring 2009 Collection. via Sneaker Freaker
