Sometimes, it is the unexpected colourways that make for the hottest releases. This time last year, nobody would have even imagined how hot the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 in marina blue and cool grey turned out to be. We have seen plenty of Griffeys with teal accents, but that particular combination is just magical.

Such is the case with the latest Nike Air Jordan 1 Phat hightop. These thick-tongued Nike Air Jordan 1´s certainly are not the first Jays to mix white, black and yellow (Thunder/Lightning), but the way it is done on this pair is straight up masterful. You have got a white overlay atop a grey base to ensure they do not overtake your outfit, but the yellow laces and stitching look excellent with the simple base. Expect these to hit Jordan Brand retailers soon, as they are now available.

Nike’s Quilted Pack for the Holiday 08 season has already had images of two very solid models drop, all with said quilted leather: a black Air Max 1 and a Free Hybrid Boot. Now, the previous Nike Air Max 1 gains a brother in this Light Bone incarnation of that timeless silhouette, done up in the signature Quilted Leather of the pack. While Light Bone may just be another phrase for off-white, these kicks are anything but ordinary. The quiet colorway is in no way a detractor to the overall look, which looks distinctly upper-crust. These kicks have earned the “Premium” title beyond all doubt, and their clean lines should find them more than a few fans. The entire quilted pack is appearing to be an unquestionable success for Nike’s Holiday lineup, and will definitely round off the year’s releases quite nicely when they drop later this year.
