Here is an interesting new Nike Dunk Low featuring a clean color combination of Black and White but the fascinating thing about these is the mixture of materials. The upper uses some basic leather mixed with a Safari print whereas the toebox uses patent leather and the midsole a cement print. Nike sure looks to have pieced together all of it’s in house assets on this shoe and the end result is not a bad one. We’re not sure when this Nike Dunk will be releasing or at what retailers but we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

After the recent release of the Nike Air Jordan 1 Mid Premium - GS (Grade School or Youth) in Grey Violet, Sunburst and White, Brand Jordan dropped this Nike Air Jordan 1 Grape this weekend. If this colorway seems familiar to you its because it is inspired by the Nike Air Jordan V Grape Ice. The upper features the same colors and even a clear swoosh for added inspired details. Also a nice touch is the bundle of grapes printed onto the insole. You can find this colorway of the Nike Air Jordan 1 in kids sizes at your local Jordan retailers now.

Nike Europe in conjunction with Foot Locker is slated to release this upcoming pack of sneakers featuring an array of models including the Nike Air Max 1, Nike Classic BW, Nike Air Max 90 and Shox NZ. The shoes are a part of what is being called “Miami South Beach” collection, for obvious reasons the shoes feature bright colors that fade from one color to the next along the outsoles and parts of the upper. The best part of this pack could be the fact that many of the shoes toeboxes feature mesh and not leather, a big hit amongst sneaker heads and Nike Air Max fans. We are hearing that these will be Europe exclusive.

The Nike Air Command Force is a legend for a number of reasons. The shoe was worn and promoted by a young David Robinson, was the choice shoe of Billy Hoyle in White Men Can’t Jump, and the Hot Lime color is as timeless as it is on the Air Tech Challenges. The Air Command Force was an expensive sneaker, even in today’s numbers. With a retail price of $175, the shoe was priced far out of the budgets of many and adjusted to inflation would be the equivalent of $275 today.

Despite a pretty big campaign on TV and in magazines promoting the shoe, the price was just too much to bear. The Air Command Force has since arisen from the bottoms of closets demanding pretty high dollars on eBay as it has become a highly saught after vintage shoe. The fragile nature of a 17 year old midsole makes finding a pair in perfect shape next to impossible.

This was also Nike’s second high top shoe to feature the Air Pump technology and was the first to have its own pump built in to the shoe. Still there has not been any talks of these or any of the other David Robinson high top pumps coming back. If you would like to see the Nike Air Command Force, let your voice be heard by leaving a comment. Nice Kicks has MANY readers from Beaverton, OR and I am sure those aren’t just kids looking to waste time while in the computer lab…
