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.

Air Jordan 60+ - Laney High School Edition




Although the Air Jordan 60+ also blends elements of the Air Jordan II and VII, the Air Jordan V seems to be, not only the biggest contributor to the design, but so far it’s provided most of the colorways as well. We have already shown you the “Grape” version and now comes the Laney High School edition, also heavily influenced by a beloved Air Jordan V color scheme. Thanks to these new pictures, we get our best look yet at the latest Jordan shoe to fuse together classic Jordan models into a single design and we also get a closer view of some of the individual components. The Air Jordan V’s influence is hard to miss, but now you can plainly see the Air Jordan II heel section and the Air Jordan VII tongue, heel tab and 23 logo. So far, sneakerhead reactions to the shoe have been mixed, but we have a feeling that once more colorways begin to emerge, a lot of people will be changing their tunes. Stay tuned for more on the Air Jordan 60+ as additional information becomes available. Via NT.

The kicks feature a full grain finish touched up with textural elements and accented with a red swoosh and plaid detailing. A release is slated for November 2009 at Footlocker accounts.
