Nike Auto Force 180 Olympic - Holiday 2009


The Nike Auto Force 180 has made a big splash of late. This new pair hearkens back to the OG colourway that put the Air Force 180 on the map back in 1992. The Nike Auto Force 180 Olympic adds Nike’s signature USA palette of navy blue, red and gold to a white upper. These don’t feature the OG AF180’s Air bubble, so the speckled gradient frame is gone, but the Blazer-like vulcanized sole does well to ground the early 90’s look in the modern aesthetic. Expect these during the Holiday 2009 season, so probably October or November. Click the jump below to see a side-by-side comparison between the Auto Force and AF180. via Leaders1354

MVPs - Kobe & LeBron (Quickness)

Nike Blazer Mid Supreme - Black - Sail



In a year when Nike deemphasized it’s iconic Dunk model relative to recent history, the Blazer has had a little more wind in its sails. This new Nike Blazer Mid Supreme combines the boost in exposure with lux materials for a clean, can’t-lose design. This one is simple enough in a buttery black leather upper with white Swoosh and midsole, but the leather is so visibly soft that you could easily rock these at formal occasions. Grab a pair or two today from BingoRunner.

Nike Auto Flight - Black - Red - Holiday ‘09


We first showed you a preview of the Nike Auto Flight at the end of April and now some new images have emerged that give us a peek at what these kicks look like in action. Like the Auto Force 180 from a few days back, the Auto Flight takes a classic Nike basketball model (the Air Flight Lite High) and fuses it together with a vulcanized Blazer midsole, giving it a more contemporary lifestyle look rather than its original performance basketball aesthetic. This version of the Auto Flight features a Black leather upper with red accents and a White midsole. The color scheme gives the shoe a nice subtle look, but thanks to the super-high cut on these, they will still be sure to draw attention. The Auto Flight is not expected to debut until Nike’s holiday ‘09 collection, but for now, you can check out another image after the jump. Via Leaders 1354.

Nike Dunk Low Pro SB - Patagonia - Black - Academy Blue




This Dunk Low Pro SB dropped last month as part of the May Nike SB collection and although they sport a pretty nice color scheme, they did not receive the level of fanfare enjoyed by many other Dunk SB models. These kicks have been nicknamed Patagonia’s because of their similarities to the Patagonia brand’s logo color scheme. They feature a navy suede upper with a black leather mid panel and a light grey toe box and tongue. Additional accents are provided by a royal blue Swoosh and lining and a bright red hue on the tongue and heel. If these flew under your radar, be aware that you can still find some pairs floating around eBay, so move fast if you missed them.
