Nike Wolverine Big Nike High Vs. Sabretooth Air Max 95




To coincide with the recent release of the Wolverine movie, Nike has put together a Wolverine vs. Sabretooth pack using two of their classic models. You may have already seen some blurry sample images of these floating around the internet, but now we finally have a good look at this intriguing new pack. The Wolverine installment uses a Big Nike High, incorporating the yellow, blue, red and black from Wolvie’s classic X-Men uniform, even going as far as to include the very recognizable black stripes on the heel section. In addition to the color scheme, the design also gives a nod to our favorite mutant’s adamantium claws, including slash mark graphics on the mid panel and a sliced up Nike logo on the red tongue.

The Sabretooth Air Max 95 design is a little less obvious, but still makes for a nice addition to the Pack. It attempts to capture the look of Sabretooth’s shiny fur coat, using shades of orange, brown, red and yellow over a white base and like the Wolverine shoe, there is a design on the tongue that appears to have been carved out by claws. If you are a fan of these characters or just think that this makes for a cool pack, you can pick up both pairs now at Proper, but don’t hesitate because they probably won’t be around for long.

Nike Hyperize - White - Aquamarine - Grey - November ‘09




Following the successful trail blazed by the Hyperdunk, the Hyperize is poised to make a nice splash of its own. The shoe incorporates certain aspects of the Hyperdunk, like the Lunar Foam midsole and Flywire construction, but the shoe definitely has its own look. You may have already seen this colorway as part of our holiday ‘09 preview, but now we have some new images to give you a closer look at some of the finer details. The shoe features a white leather upper with black and aquamarine accents and a transparent mid panel that allows the Flywire to show through. This version of the Hyperize will no doubt be a very popular colorway thanks to some obvious color similarities to the highly coveted McFly Hyperdunk, and the good news is that these should be a lot easier to get your hands on. Look for them to drop sometime in November at select Nike retailers. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

Nike Air Max 90 Current Flywire - Varsity Red





The Air Max 90 Current Flywire has recently become a welcome addition to the Air Max family. What’s not to like? The Air Max 90 has been around fore almost 20 years and we have seen so many colorways and variations since then that the logical step was obviously to take the shoe further into the future. Nike has incorporated some of their recent technological innovations into the classic style, taking an already solid performance shoe and bringing it into the new millennium and beyond. The additions of Flywire and a Free sole have assured that this Air Max 90 will be among the lightest and most responsive running shoes on the market today and that just covers the functional aspects. This shoe also has a very sleek and stylish look to it and the red on red color scheme sends the freshness factor through the roof, ensuring that you will turn some heads in these whenever you break them out. The Air Max 90 Current Flywire has already been released at select retailers in Asia and will hopefully be on their way to the U.S. in the very near future. Stay tuned for specific release details very soon. Via dunk.com.cn.

Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache - DQM + Huf - Holiday ‘09



A vivid image surely comes to mind any time you hear or read the word ‘Hufquake’. This modern classic jumped off of a pack of Dunks and Air Force 1s about three years ago, with a few updates in the interim. This latest release is a modern classic in its own right, adding the crackley pattern on a pair of Nike Air Max 90 Current Huaraches. The palette on these is quite similar to a pair of ’standard’ AM90s from a couple years back but features more black, along with the Flywire and Free sole upgrades.

Along with these come another pair of AM90 Current Huaraches designed by another three-letter streetwear mainstay. The DQM edition features their signature fleshy palette of pink, red and brown with a little white thrown in for balance. We expect both of these for the Holiday 2009 season and you can see all of the preview pics we’ve accumulated after the jump, including some closeups we snapped at Sneaker Con 2009. via Unheardof

Star Trek x Staple x Airwalk Terrain Sneakers





It looks like the Jeff Staple x Airwalk collaboration has boldy gone into a pricerange Payless has never seen before. And since these new kicks take the design up a notch, it’s fitting that all 130 pairs will only be available at Reed Space. In commemoration of the new Star Trek prequel that premieres today in theatres around the country, Staple designed these to evoke his idea of “a battle-torn version of The Enterprise.”

They feature a metallic upper in a blackish-grey gunmetal hue upper with black soles. Gone is the classic ‘Airwalker’ insignia, replaced by the more familiar ‘A’, which matches the Star Trek ‘Shield’ logo appearing as a lacelock. More Trekkie-oriented details appear on the tongue, heel, rear quarter and insole. If you’re near Orchard Street today, be sure to drop in and cop a pair that you’ll be sure to find interest for these at a different kind of convention.
