The closer we get to 2009, the more previews we get of what exactly is dropping next year. Most recently, we get a sneak peak of a Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium in a “Grey/Red” colorway. While the shoe consists of only two colors, it is covered in a myriad of textured leather including embossed alligator print around the back of the upper, textured and soft leather and a smooth leather all around and on top of the toe. The red comes in on a nubuck swoosh, laces and the bottom of the sole. Look for these to drop sometime in 2009, hopefully sooner than later.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Supreme “Black Friday” may be the hottest Nike Air Force 1 all year, we still have a little over a month left but we have confidence this is the one. Kept under wraps until just an hour ago, this is one of the best kept secrets in a while a little more like a surprise and kind of how sneakers use to be. The upper features black pony hair on the front half which covers the toe area, toe box, side panels and the eyelets. The back half comes to life with metallic silver lenticular on the swoosh, heel piece and the heel tab. And finally the midsole is a nice glossy metallic in a muted array of colors.

The Nike Blazer SB “Made for Skate” is one of the most limited Blazer’s released by the Nike SB camp to date. This pair is limited to 24 pairs worldwide and features a huge toe cap on the front of the toebox. The colorway used on this pair of Blazer’s is very dope and brings back some retro/80’s era of skateboarding for some of us. Some additional details include the wording on the inside of the tongue which reads, “For Skateboard Use Only Not Designed for Other Activities”. Additionally the insole of the shoe features a nice graphic that matches the exterior of the shoe.

There is a growing category of dope Nike Dunk SB Low´s that catch our eyes and pockets with leaked photos, but never make it to retail shelved for one reason or another. The Nike Dunk above is the original design of the Nike Dunk SB Low Mosquito, but after an extremely limited production run, the shoe didn’t make, most likely due to some sort of legal issue. Obviously, this version is very different compared to the recently released Mosquito dunk, which has a range of materials from a speckled mid-sole, perforated leather and 3M. The above version consists only of leather and buttery suede. These might wind up on Ebay at some point in time, but you will never see these on retail shelves.

Marok, the publisher and art director of Lodown Magazine will the the next global influencer to work with Nike on the 1World project. His Nike Air Force 1 Low uses ’supreme’ level materials including premium soft black leather in the toe area and heel and a dark obsidian canvas in the side panels, eyelets and swoosh. The sneaker is finished off in a nice clear white midsole and a icy orange outsole. Unfortunatley for most, Nort Berlin will probably be the only shop where these will be available. They will release December 13, 2008.

You remember the beautiful Nike WMNS Blazer Mid Premium from the year long Zodiac story that we saw a number of Nike WMNS shoes inspired by. This Nike Blazer unfortunately is the last of the Zodiac story for this year and it is inspired by the Capricorn. As a result of being a Premium shoe, this Nike Blazer “Capricorn” features an all over Elephant Print on the upper of the shoe that if titled at certain angles will show various hints of Baby Blue. We believe that in addition to the Gray laces seen in the picture above there will also be a pack of Baby Blue laces in the box that matches the accented Elephant Print. You can pick these Nike WMNS Blazer Premium’s up at select Nike retailers now.
