Nike ACG has a wealth of brilliant silhouettes in the archives. The color schemes, as we’ve seen on Nike Air Hurache´s, Nike Air Force 1´s and others, are pretty dope too. Come fall old models and hybrids alike will bless the shelves of your favorite dealer.

Included is a simple and rugged edition of the Nike Wildwood. A lightweight trail runner, with a nice low profile sole. The color scheme of black/white/grey/red melds well with the Wildwood’s intended use and overall look.

The newer kid on the block is the Nike Terra Ninety. This shoe is the obvious progeny of the Nike Terra Humara and the Nike Air Max 90. Throw in a full length air max unit and you’ve got something a bit out the ordinary. While many hybrids totally miss the mark, this model and colorway hit nicely.

As part of a pack with a Terra Humara and a Wildwood, the Nike Air Revaderchi comes in black with speckled heel and bottom sole, a bright yellow midsole and shoelaces, light blue support straps, and pink interiors.

The Nike Air Force 2 has always played somewhat of a second fiddle to its more famous cousin, the infamous Nike Air Force 1. However, the basic design behind the Nike Air Force 2 is definitely very, very solid, and with more colorways such as this one, the name should rise into even more prominence. With a primarily black body, these shoes are accented with subtle touches of red and green trim, with laces to match. A nice, stealthy pattern coating the rear portion of these kicks gives them some definite class, as does the understated nature of these Nike Air Force 2’s in general. Perforated side panels ensure that these sneakers will breathe, as well as giving the shoes a nice look. No word yet on a specific release date, other than that these will be dropping sometime in Spring 2009.

Pictured above is Nike’s latest collaboration SB sneaker, which features the art of Craig Stecyk and Lance Mountain. For those of you into skate culture, Craig Stecyk is considered, by many, the Godfather of skateboarding because of his work as a skateboard artist and photojournalist. Lance Mountain, on the other hand, was a popular skateboarder during the 80’s as part of the Bones Brigade skate team. The end result of the skateboarding duo’s collaboration is this flashy orange suede Blazer. The colors and materials were said to be created by Stecyk, while the heel features Mountain’s signature skull logo. The sneaker also contains a black inner lining, and is finished off with a white midsole. This Nike Blazer Hi SB sneaker is scheduled to release sometime in October.
