Word association game? A sneakerhead would respond to “1985″ with “Nike Air Jordan 1″ with unflinching speed and without a second thought. There is no shame in that; the Nike Air Jordan 1 is the shoe that started the sneaker-collecting craze and the constant release of retros keeps up hungry and wanting more. Amid all the Nike Air Jordan releases we are expecting this year, get ready for the knock-out punch that will top them all; the return of the Nike Air Jordan 1 AJKO.
After a quarter-century after its original release, the AJKO rejoins us donning the same canvas upper that made it the standout that it was. The reincarnation of Nike Air Jordan 1 KO is almost spot-on with the materials and AJKO Wings logo, but there are a few minor details that might cause some stir. The Jumpman logo has replaced the OG Nike Air logo, but that is expected with all Nike Air Jordans post Nike-Jordan Brand split. The bottom sole, however, takes on a Nike Dunk/Air Jordan 1 sole, and the midsole is given the dirty treatment, as seen on Nike’s vintage rehashings like the Nike Vandal Nylon VNTG. For the Jordan heads out there who may not be familiar AJKO, consider these the ultimate retro of 2010.

The legend of the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke continues, with the latest pair being a design from Marcus Troy, urban fashion/culture blogger extraordinaire. Known for its use of a number of materials, this pair of the Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke, like the pair designed by Dan Hwang, follows that trend as Marcus Troy handpicked the kevlar, suede, leather, and waterproof denim to adorn his pair of the Bespoke. On top of the lush materials, this pair features a great black/grey/blue colourway and a pair of dubraes engraved with Marcus and Troy. Check out the video to get an inside look behind the Troy’s personalization process.

The Nike Lunar Mariah arrives as a one-two punch of old ideas and new technology. Take the old-school design of the Nike Air Mariah of the 80’s and combine it with Nike’s new Lunar cushioning system, and you get an oxymoronic vintage/21st-century pair of kicks. The Lunar cushioning and the no-sew construction of the Nike Mariah should easily provide the utmost in breathability and lightweight advantages. This new colourways that are set to drop as part of Nike Sportswear’s Spring 2010 Collection.

The gold detailing, black midsole and swoosh, complete with a shiny and croc-print-esque black upper the line up for this, the latest drop from Nike Womens division. The Nike Air Force 1 Hi Supreme LE features a canvas ankle strap, which is also black. Scales aside, this a more restrained womens colourway than usual which I think is a good thing, being that the usual multi-coloured and more garish colourways usually appeal more to the male than female crowd.

This Nike Air Jordan III Retro looks like it belongs alongside this year’s Jordan Motorsports pack (the first to be released to retail, in the six year series), but is actually from 2006. It has hand written numbering on the outer heel (count/count) and a single digit on the inner heel that might represent different componentry. Doesn’t really matter, though, since you are not going to wear them anyway. This size 9 sample is available for your collection on eBay.

When it warms up this spring, get yourself ready with this new Nike Dunk High Premium. Up close, the tri-coloured gingham upper is plain ot see, but from afar, the colours sorta blend into a melty blob of Paas. It is a fresh look for the upcoming warm weather, so the white Swoosh and midsole are appropriate, and the gum outsole is doing quite well on spring 2010 Nikes. These won’t be hidden for long, so stick with NewKicksOnTheBlog for updates.
