Here you can see the Nike Air Max 1 Premium “Brazil” with a colorful upper and various other details, such as the graphic on the midsole that wraps underneath the shoe’s translucent outsole. Additionally the graphic on the shoe’s upper around the shoe’s ankle collar is a nice touch. Pick these up now at your local Nike Sportswear retailer.

This shoe is actually a shoe that Nike worked on with SneakersBR and will be used to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of SneakersBR. The shoes are inspired by the culture of Pernambuco, the home state of SneakersBR, and the Manguebeat, a musical movement from Pernambuco.

Nike has given the Nike Air Max 90 a number of different makeovers and the latest is this Nike Air Max 90 CT TZ shoe, the CT is short for Current, and the TZ of course means Tier Zero. This Nike Air Max 90 CT is not actually the same as the Nike Air Max 90 Current, instead this shoe only borrows the Nike Free inspired outsole and not the Nike Air Max 90 Current upper, hence the name being different. While the shoe has a TZ attached to it’s name, a number of Nike Sportswear Quickstrike accounts are getting this pair that is a part of the Nike Air Max 90 Grid Pack. These are available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers.

Most of us have been waiting for the official word from Supreme on their new collaboration with Nike Skateboarding with the Nike SB Bruin. To reintroduce the Nike Bruin into the Nike SB collection, Supreme has designed four colorways which includes a white, green, red and black version. The Nike Bruin was one of the first low-top basketball shoes developed by Nike in 1972. It featured a plain upper with the Nike Swoosh on the side while the outsole had a classic herringbone design for added traction. This week, Supreme will release an updated version of the classic Nike Bruin with skateboarding features. Additionally, a Twill Pullover Jacket in three colors will also be released.

Available in NY & LA on Thursday, April 16th and online on Monday, April 20th. Available in Japan on Saturday, April 18th.
