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.
