New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

After showing some images of the sneakers on display at the event at the Montalban Theater yesterday, we can now show you the complete line-up of sneakers, created as part of the “Stages” initiative by Nike in collaboration with Lance Armstrong and his Livestrong Foundation.

In terms of product they present the Lunar Livestrong Pack, consisting of two sneakers. Next comes the Evolution of Air, which is a pack consisting of three Nike Air Max’s. The most interesting pack is probably the Greatest Hits pack, which consists of collaborations with So_Me, Mr. Cartoon and Futura. Last but not least there is The Cutters pack.

Since its inception, Nike’s footwear technology Free has represented the brands technological offering in the face of growing evidence that less support yields healthier foot. However, the technology has also been applied in other facets infiltrating the market on a lifestyle level. The Nike Free Hybrid Boot represents yet another upcoming application of the Free sole. Once marketed for those looking for stronger feet and enhanced performance, the Free consistently teeters between the realm of performance and the everyday. The Free Hybrid Boot’s upper boasts one of Nike’s most focused initiatives in the Considered movement which creates footwear on a sustainable level, devoid of toxic glues and environmentally unfriendly materials. The two models seen here include brown leather and black quilted leather. The flexible sole, moc styled toebox and mid cut makes us reminisce of skirt-less Visvism FBT Lhamo. If these interest you, stay patient as they aren’t slated until the Holiday ‘08 season.

The Nike Wildwood 90 Free Trail is often overlooked by the general sneaker head, whether on account of it being a hybrid or just because it’s something unusual. Whatever the case, this is one colorway to make any freaker sit up and take notice. The shape is set off nicely with a dark anthracite suede mudguard, giving it a rough look. This is supported by the different types of white mesh throughout and the cheeky addition of patent leather on the bright teal swoosh. Throw in the ACG symbol on the tongue and tonal lining and we have a winner.

Who needs artist collabs when your company has a strong enough lineup of retro kicks that the combinations of hybrids, fusions, and cross-model inspirations are limitless. Complex has given us a first look at the upcoming Nike Wildwood 90 Free Trail “Ultramarine”.

The upper takes on the shape of the classic Nike ACG Wildwood, an Nike Air Max 90 style swoosh, and the color up of the Nike Air 180 “Ultramarine”. Sitting on the Nike Free Trail outsole, these shoes are not only comfortable, but incredibly light weight.

Don’t mistake the “Trail” part of the name for meaning these would be a good pick for the next all day hike in the woods. White mesh and the soft white toe cap should be protected and cleaned on a more than regular basis. Keep $90 handy and an eye out in May for these.
