With 08 wrapping up Nike will move on from its Dunk model push.  It seems like the next in line for the retro push will be the Terminator Model.  These two new Terminators which come in either a Yellow/Black or Purple/Black colorway are available now at select retailers in Hong Kong.  Something special about these models is the type of material used for the upper.  A British Millerain fabric which functions much like Gore-Tex has been specifically chosen to craft these new pairs.  We figure it’d be good use for the Winter months ahead.  Good thinkin Nike.

The Nike Zoom Flight makes its way back on the shelves in another colorway. Some think Nike is making a push for the Zoom Flight 95 which was Jason Kidds signature shoe, before Kidd’s new sponsor Chinese brand Peak releases a newer version later for him this year. This colorway comes in a Obsidian upper and white accents along the sole. These shoes are available now at LTD Online. We dont think there will be another release of the 95 Zoom Flight for at least a good while, get them while you can.

Here’s a clear shot of the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Low’s for the 2009 Season. Alot of talk has been going on for the 2009 and how its going to be a weak year for Jordan Brand. But with the looks of these shoes, it cant be that bad. Sporting the classic cement print along the toe-box and heel, this look will never tire. Cleaning up the tongue with a flash of red lining, these shoes will most likely drop alongside their black colorway counterpart. No news just yet on a specific release date. As always we’ll keep you posted when we find out

The clean lines of the Nike Air Max 97 have made it a favorite among many sneakerheads. Something about that 3M Reflective material and the white trim just makes it an instant classic. When it first released it was definitely one of its kind. Using a reflective material on almost all parts of the shoe, the only areas where you wont find it is along the sole and the extra large Nike Air Bubble. The original Air Max 97 has be retro’d several times over the years, and once again it will make its way to the shelves of select Nike retailers. For many of those who have fell in love with this shoe and wore it past its lifetime, heres another chance to grab a brand new pair and do it all again. Along with the re-release, Nike has taken the idea behind the Original Air Max 97 and slapped it on their Air Force 1 low top sneaker. Using the same 3M material to cover the toe box and heels, you will also find that the strap on the tongues and the little pulley on the back remain true to the classic 97’s. Both will be avaialble soon, LA heads can get them over at

Here’s a detailed look at the up and coming Air Max Beijing Pack for this years Summer Olympics held in Beijing China.  The 2008 Summer Games has definitely seen a good amount of collections and packs from various shoe companies around the world.  Winning Gold is one of the most prestigious accomplishments any athlete can obtain throughout their career , achieving this honor solidifies your career as a true World Class athlete.   At a time when westernization is becoming more wide spread it only makes sense for Nike and other brands to capitalize on this monumental event to gain market share by releasing Olympic themed shoes.  In addition to their previously Olympic themed sneakers Nike will be releasing a special Air Max Beijing pack for the pleasures of sneakerheads around the world.  To start off, Air Max’s in this pack have little bits of details that are inspired by the giant stadium built for the Olympics.  The stadium which in itself is a piece of art is know as the Birds Nest, featuring towering metal beams weaving in and out from the entire top portion of the structure.  Looking like a buiding before its time, the project took an immense amount of planning to be completed.  Designing shoes may not be on that grand scale, but you can still notice the details that were taken to make sure that there were some references to the Birds Nest Stadium, For instance, check out the lined patterns on the Air Max ones, designed to resemble portions of the stadium, as well as the Purple Air Max 1’s which also uses a octagon shape which is said to represent the eight sides of the stadium.  Other details are apparent throughout the designs, but all share 1 key similarity - the outer parts of each of the Air Max 1’s use a conventional, muted color, but once you look inside you begin to see a much brighter, vibrant color.  Perhaps this can be the people that are sitting inside the stadium cheering for their countries atheletes.  This collection will be available on the start of the Summer Olympic games starting August 8th at select Nike Retailers.
