Earlier this week, we showed you the Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium “Grey/Red”; however, we have spotted one colorway that was not mentioned in the aforementioned post.

Expected to release in early 2009, this particular Nike Air Force 1 Low features a Navy Blue/Orange colorway. It also contains four textures on the upper such as premium leather (toe box area), pebbled leather (side panels), suede (swoosh), and a patent leather/crocodile-like texture on the heel. The midsole is also navy blue combined with an orange outsole.

Nevertheless, this seems like one of the best Nike Air Force 1’s we have seen in awhile; however, should any Nike Air Force 1 be getting a lot of attention with the debut of the exclusive Black Friday Air Force 1’s taking over right now?

With the help of Nike’s design team, UK-based designer Carri Mundane created this latest Nike retro sneaker labeled the Nike Blazer Hi Premium “Cassette Playa”. Obviously, this one-of-a-kind sneaker inhibits some rare, unique colors on the upper.

Originally created for the aforementioned designer’s 2008 Spring/Summer runway show, this sneaker is just now releasing due to remastering purposes. It features a peach leather upper with a turquoise blue heel tab. It is also complimented with a purple midsole.

If you are feeling the Nike Blazer Hi Premium “Cassette Playa”, they will be available at the Nike Sportswear 1948 store at Bateman’s Row, Shoreditch and other select Nike Sportswear retailers.

While we have seen a ton of previews for what may be dropping from Nike next year, we haven’t seen too many new models (or lesser seen models) that are scheduled to drop. That will change, however, with the re-issue of the Nike Big Nike Hi, which hasn’t been released since the 1980’s. The Nike Big Nike Hi is a shoe that is sort of a mix between the Nike Terminator and the Nike Dunk, which makes a great looking shoe. The shoe we see above is a sample pair of a Nike Big Nike High that appears to be in a red/black-white colorway with a gum sole. The lower part of the heel area on the upper features “NIKE” printed in capital letters, similar to what you might see on a Terminator. These shoes aren’t due out until the Spring of 2009, but you can pick them up now on eBay.

Nike is redesigning one of their most used models, the Nike Dunk Hi, to better serve the female Nike consumers. Called, the Nike Skinny Dunk, it’s aesthetically unchanged from the original Dunk but has been redesigned by a team of female designers at Nike to create a better fitting Dunk for her. A number of Skinny Dunks will be available for the ladies next Spring and Summer 2009. To play with pop culture, the above two versions uses a cherry print from the iconic 19th Century French Designer Paule Marrot.

We were pretty excited to see a new Nike Dunk for spring with grey Safari print, but seven? You are probably already sitting down, so take a deep breath and prepare to be blessed.

In another expert use of Nike’s iconic print for the first season of 2009, we get five Dunk Hi´s and two Nike Dunk Low´s. On par with Premium-level releases, each pair is equipped with Zoom Air insoles plus the emphasis on Beaverton’s legacy we find in all Nike Sportswear drops.

We all know what to expect from Dunks by now, and each pair speaks for itself. To commemorate 20 years of the Swoosh’s ACG line, every pair features Safari print on the toe and eyelets, with the aforementioned pair and the black and rave pink highs both adding it on the toe and rear quarter/heel. Have a look at all of em so you’ll be ready to cop a pair or four when they drop next year.

It seems we usually are complaining about releases of certain Nike Air Jordan shoes being limited to Europe or Asia but never in non Men’s sizes, that is until now, with this upcoming Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi Girls GS (Grade School) in Black and Vivid Blue with an interesting pattern on the inside of the shoe’s collar. Had the Vivid Blue been a Royal Blue I’m sure some Jordan fans would be even more disappointed, as it would resemble one of the original Air Jordan 1 colorways but the Vivid Blue contrasted against the Black upper and White midsole still looks very nice. You will be able to find the Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi GS “Black/Vivid Blue” at select Jordan Brand accounts now within the US.
