Nike shoes are mostly named after an NBA Superstar, a Hollywood icon, or the year that it was released, just like this Nike Air Max 97.
That said, it’s given that this pair of Air Max was introduced in the year 1997. As a matter of fact this is the first running shoe to feature full length Air Max cushioning that is covered in 3M material. It features the breathable mesh leather upper and phylon midsole air-sole unit that is comfortable to wear for running, long walks and the likes. This Nike Air Max 97 pair is housed in the combined metallic silver, marine blue, white, and black colours for its upper. At first, the pair may look ordinary yet what’s beneath it can make you fall in love with it unbelievably.

Last year (2009), the entertainment world had a blast with James Cameron’s epic film Avatar. It’s a heroic flick that features the interplanetary creatures in a very surreal manner. No wonder Nike had the guts to come out with a pair that’s designed and inspired by the film’s heroines to which they call, the Avatar Air Max 90.
The pair features the flashy yellow laces placed on the blue reptilian upper that resembles with the native inhabitants of Pandora, the Na’vi. It has got the Air Max sole in white with a dash of teal on its heel while, the Nike logo is seen on the side panels and on the ankle. Literally, the façade of this Nike Avatar Air Max 90 looks so eerie but maybe that’s what Nike would like to exhibit to make it catchier and modish. It’s said that the release of these fresh hoops has yet been told.

The Jordan Brand is all set to release its outdoor and basketball sneakers like the Air Jordan 2010 Outdoor and the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Outdoor. But in the midst of all these outdoor hoops, we are yet to see another Air Jordan Alpha 1 colorway like this one.
At first look, you will be reminded of the Air Jordan 13 Low Chutney that was released in 1998. It has chocolate like accents that can be seen on the toe box, the heel panel and the swoosh. It has black perforated leather that make up the entire upper.
This particular Air Jordan Alpha 1 is done with a single stitched white midsole and it has a chocolate outer sole. This is truly a break from the rest of the regular looking Air Jordan Alpha 1 since we are all used to seeing reds, royals, and even the maizes. You totally agree?

Yesterday, we got a look at an Air Pegasus in a Black/Marina Blue/White colorway. Well Nike gives us another classic runner as this Air Pegasus 89 comes in a White/Grey colorway. The sneaker looks very because the colors are evenly split, which isn’t seen much. White is seen on the toe, toe box, inner lining, tongue, and heel. Grey comes into place on the midfoot and part of the midsole, while black covers the large Nike swoosh, toe eyelet, and the tongue tag. Infrared accents appear on the collar area, heel, and the entire outsole. This is a sweet colorway for a classic Nike runner. Good job Nike! Look for these to hit retailers sometime this fall.

Nike SB are really emerging just about anywhere in the world with its wide variety of colors. Just like as it was seen in the Chrome Ball Incident Dunk and this particular Zoom Omar Salazar’s is set to be released earlier at many UK retailers.
On this shoes, you can see a grand combination of purple in a suede material plus some flywire feature. It results into a skate shoe that can deliver true high performance. This is rate for a shoe to deliver high performance and high quality in aesthetic appeal. You can also see some greens and white as the two primary accent colors with white being seen on the liner and the threads of the flywire.
You can go to Flatspot to get these shoes earlier than the rest or maybe just wait for a stateside release of it. Just one thing I want to comment: it certainly looks similar to Barney.

Even if it was really sold well, it still failed to keep up with the success of the Kobe V. Here we have a teaser pic of the Air Max Lebron VIII. And this is the best look we could get compared to the other images that were released in other sites to give us a preview of the sneakers.
