In addition to the already shown below Men’s Nike Air Force 1 Premium that Nike has came up with to celebrate Black History Month, they have also produced a similar pair for the ladies. A bit different than the Men’s is the fact that the Women’s uses a Light Cream instead of the Dark Brown/Black upper that the Men’s version uses. The Women’s like the Men’s will be given out as a Promo shoe and will not be sold to the general public.

This Nike Air Force 1 has various Premium detailing to it and the shoe uses inspiration from African mud cloth for parts of the upper, but the difference is that on every shoe there is a different piece of a large mud cloth making each and every shoe different than the other. In addition the shoe features a lasered design on the toe box, wooden lace aglets, and a wooden BHM 08 dubrae. Perhaps the best part about these Nike Air Force 1’s is that even though Nike sought inspiration from various aspects of African American culture they were able to carefully place it in an aesthetically pleasing way on their classic Nike Air Force 1 in addition to using premium craftsmanship. This particular pair will not be sold to the public and is extremely limited, best of luck in finding a pair.

Nike will be releasing the Nike Dunk SB Hi “Thrashin”. Much like the Nike Dunk SB Hi “Ferris Bueller”, not too many pictures have been seen of the Thrashin since the catalog scans were posted. Here is a better look at the upcoming Nike Dunk Hi.

The Trashin and Ferris Buller Nike Dunk SB Hi´s also have another thing in common, both were modeled after their movie posters. The 80’s movie poster features Corey Webster holding a skateboard, the spider pattern used on the panels comes from the design on the skateboard. The bright colored fonts inspire the gradient swoosh, sole and inner lining. Expect these to be released in Summer. Samples are available now on the eBay!

We show you some first teaser images of an upcoming collaboration project by Nike. They worked with German soccer club St. Pauli on a set of Dunks. There is a Nike Dunk Low and Nike Dunk Hi.

The Nike Dunk Low “St. Pauli” comes in white and features embossed leather on the upper, logo applications on the tongue and the side panels. The swoosh comes in oestrich leather and there is also a suede hit on the back heel.

The Nike Dunk Hi “St. Pauli” comes in black with the St. Pauli logo on the sockliner, skull logo in 3M on the side and the swoosh comes in black oestrich.

Reason for this collaboration is an upcoming soccer tournament that Nike is organizing before the European Cup that is taking place this summer. They will be working with 5 underground clubs, in 5 cities and will also heavily be working with Hip Hop artists from the region.

We will give you an in-depth look at the entire initiative and also the products, once we get closer. For now the teaser will have to do it. After the jump more pics.
