We have seen Nike defer to the Safari print more and more as of late especially on the Men’s side with the latest releases of Nike Air Max 1´s and Nike Dunk´s, but in the upcoming seasons Nike will be releasing this Safari pack of Nike Air Max 1´s specifically for the females. This Nike WMNS Air Max 1 “Safari Pack” consists of four different tonal Nike Air Max 1´s that use the Safari print, the four different colors include a White and Aqua pair, Red and Blue pair, Black and Infared pair, and lastly a Purple and Orange pair. Look for these to drop during the third quarter of 2009.

The multicolored Nike WMNS Dunk Hi featured above is made exclusively for the ladies and will hit Nike retailers in early January of 2009. Yielding an upper composed of varsity red, rave pink, bronze, light green, and turquoise, this sneaker deviates from the simple look we are used to seeing on women’s Nike Dunk´s. The use of a clean white swoosh and a white toebox complete this pair by adding the finishing touches needed to contrast the rest of the multicolored upper. As previously mentioned, this pair will hit Nike retailers in early January of 2009 for a retail price of $105.

This Nike WMNS Dunk Low Premium isn’t scheduled to release until March 2009, but could possibly hit stores before then as seen by other releases.

Another dope runner has hit the net in the form of this Nike Air Max 1 “Black/Red-White”. The shoe features a black outsole, white midsole and red being visible in the Nike Air bubble. Along the upper, you can see there are some very nice uses of black and red in the form of synthetic suede as well as a black, nylon mesh toebox. An added patent leather swoosh tops everything off, making this a definite good look for all you Air Max fans. Look for these to hit Nike Sportswear retailers during 2009.

Here you can see a picture of the Nike Terminator Hi Premium “Safari Pack”. We are hearing rumors that these together with the Nike Air Max 1 “Safari” are part of a larger Nike Safari Print Pack. This pair shown above yields an upper composed of many shades of gray precisely like that of the aforementioned Nike Air Max 1. Also featuring a black swoosh and a cream midsole, this colorway is a bit out there and is not made for everyone. This pair leaves us wondering what other sneakers will make up this new Nike Safari Print Pack we are hearing of and also leaves us hoping that the others will be a little more toned down than this pair. The Nike Safari Terminator High is now available at select Nike accounts.

Its finally Asia’s turn to shine as part of the Nike 1World Air Force 1 campaign and just in time for the Chinese New Year. The collaboration is with Hong Kong based CLOT who has applied their stylistic twist of the Nike Air Force 1 Low. The overall theme for the sneaker is base of the traditional wishes during the New Year which is luck, happiness and prosperity. The upper of the Nike Air Force 1 Low is made from red Clot Royale Deluxe Silk, the most recognizable Chinese-made textile, with embroidered trademark Clot graphics inspired by thousand-year-old Chinese prints. Additionally the red upper-shoe top layer can actually be peeled, burned or torn off to reveal a bottom layer made from dark brown leather. Clot’s trademark Chinese-print graphics, as embroidered onto the silk upper layer, are lasered onto this durable leather layer.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Clot” comes in a special “Chinese Candy Box” packaging set. Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations include offering sweets and other edible treats from a red lacquer box to ensure a “sweet” year. Honoring this custom, the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Clot” packaging is a hexagonal red box with a partitioned tray layer, to hold shoe accessories, and matching lid. The box’s exterior is adorned with Clot graphics in black.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Clot” will be available on January 16, 2009.

Nike’s Fall 2009 retro Air Max line look pretty nice with solid colors for a number of the classics. The Nike Air Classic BW will make a nice come back with two colorways inspired by the Nike Air Safari 87 and utilizing a small amount of the Safari Pattern. The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 comes in two flavors as well and in nice Fall colors and nice patterns. A surprised is the Nike Air 180 Aquamarine colorway’s return, but this would be nearly 3 years since the 3 Decades of Cushioning release. A sure hit will be the Nike Air Max 1 in a purple safari colorway which has hints of the Nike Air Max 1 “Viotech” for several years back.
