Nike showcases a new take on the Air Force 1-Type. N. 354, which is a line under the Swoosh umbrella comes through with the “Experimental Sail” colorway and will come equipped with an upper that is completely covered in foam.
Key features of Air Force 1 -Type include the aforementioned upper, comprised of a spong-like texture reminiscent of Nike’s oxygen masks from its research lab. It is important to note that although the shoe is covered entirely, each panel will still be recognizable. Other features include rip stop pull tabs at the tongue and heel area with a drawcord found at the laces area. The “N. 354” branding is also found on the sneaker as it resides over the sneaker’s Swoosh. Looking at the heel area, there is a fluorescent label patch that is complimented by a white midsole and semi-translucent outsole.
No word of a release date has been announced yet but expect the Nike Air Force 1-Type N. 354 “Experimental” to release in the upcoming months via the Nike website for around $110 USD.
UNDERCOVER and Nike deliver a fresh collaboration for the Holiday season. This capsule draws inspiration from the Japanese martial art, Kendo. The collection will feature top and bottom pieces in the form of a two-in-one parka jacket as well as a pair of two-in-one pants.
Removable panels on both pieces are what makes this collection unique. The “NUZ4301” parka will feature an outer layer vest with four cargo pockets and wearers will be able to remove it via zippers at the center and around the shoulders. An oval-shaped translucent opening, dubbed a “watch window” can be seen at the sleeve which allows you to see the time while also protecting your timepiece. The pants will feature a two-in-one design, utilizing the zippers around the knees to transform the legs into shorts. Finalizing the details for both garments is the aspect of waterproof materials with the comfort of a nylon interior.
UNDERCOVER and Nike’s two-piece Holiday capsule can be purchased at the UNDERCOVER’s website with the parka retailing for ¥78,650 JPY ($756 USD) and the pants at ¥31,460 JPY ( $302 USD).
As if the all-white Air Force 1 isn’t classic enough, Nike offers a fully customizable experience for the silhouette. The customization of shoes is no secret in the sneaker community and Nike formally throws their hat in the DIY ring with the Nike Air Force 1/1.
The Air Force 1/1 features an upper that’s fully interchangeable with a black velcro upper, allowing you to place the panels however you choose. Accompanying the 1/1’s are a full set of Swooshes, tongue badges, laces and heel pieces in an orange color way, enabling the wearer’s style to be showcased uniformly or mismatched.
The Nike Air Force 1/1 is set to release via Nike SNKRS Japan on December 18 as well as later after that in the US. Pricing is approximately $147 USD.
Following up his Strangelove Skateboards x Nike SB Dunk Low collab that dropped back in February, Sean Cliver has another collab with the SWOOSH in the works.
Nike is no stranger to working with other brands as they’ve been known to collab with the Grateful Dead, Ben & Jerry’s, Travis Scott and many more. This Sean Cliver x Nike SB Dunk Low features an upper with an over all white and “Psychic Blue” colorway with the white hue consuming the toe box, quarter panel and midsole, while the “Psychic Blue” hue takes over the suede overlays. Rounding out the details are metallic silver hits on the collar and laces while the Swoosh gets done up in a gold finish.
No release date is set, but check the Nike SNKRS app as a holiday drop could be imminent.
After years of working together, collaborating on different sneaker projects, Drake and Nike have officially announced a new collaborative partnership called NOCTA.
Following Drake’s Certified Lover Boy merch, NOCTA represents Drake’s nocturnal creative process as well as the streetwear scenes of Toronto, London and Paris. In addition to announcing the collection, the Toronto native penned an open letter explaining his inspiration for the project.
This moment is full circle for me.
I mean, growing up Nike was everything. It felt like every shoe I wanted, every athlete I liked, everything I owned was Nike. It didn’t mean anything unless it had a Swoosh.
I remember watching all these athletes repping Nike — each doing the unthinkable — and how inspiring it was. I always felt like there was an opportunity for Nike to embrace an entertainer the same way they had athletes. I thought about how crazy it would have been and what it would have meant for an artist to have a flagship Nike deal.
NOCTA is a realization of all these thoughts and everything I had hoped for — from the culture it’s rooted in to the product and, most important, to the partnership and scale that allows me to share it with the world.
NOCTA is about creating something for people on the move. People who want functional, comfortable fits that are adaptable from one environment to the next.
But as much as it’s about what we make, it’s also about a mindset: an unforgiving drive, a relentlessness. Characterized by the type who are on the road all day, all night — the grinders, the hard workers — trying to accomplish their goals and taking no short cuts.
That mindset also includes loyalty and team. Whether you are in Toronto, London or Paris, there’s this uniform look — Nike Tech Fleece, the gloves, the hat — and it has a real team feel. I wanted to take a piece of that culture that I grew up with, that school of thought, and bring the best to it. With NOCTA, we were trying to make the hardest jacket, the hardest tracksuit, the hardest gloves. Just the best of that world.
This opportunity is something that I’ve been waiting on for a really long time. To be associated with the highest level possible — that was always my goal. We put in a lot of hard work, a lot of man and woman hours, during the last two years. To see it all coming to fruition starts an exciting new chapter in my life.
Head over to the NOCTA website for more info and expect this collaborative effort to release at Nike on December 18.
The Air Jordan 4 “Manila” will be releasing solely at Nike Manila in the Philippines. This silhouette is inspired by different aspects of Manila, including its flag.
The upper portion of the silhouette shows shades of green with an ostrich material on the tongue while the mudguard receives a stingray texture. Looking deeper into the details, the inside of the tongues shows what number the shoe is marked out of the 150 limited quantities.
For a chance to purchase these sneakers, enter the raffle at Nike Park. Winners will be selected on December 1 with the official release slated for December 3 at the grand opening of the Jordan Brand store in Bonifacio Global City.
Nike returns with yet another colorway in its SB range with an obsidian and gum combination on the High silhouette.
As part of its Orange Label release, dropping exclusively for skate shops, Nike will also drop a series of Obsidian & Gum colorways that will be featured on Dunk Low and Blazer Low models in December as well.
The release date for the Orange Label Nike SB Dunk High “Obsidian” is set for December for $110 USD.
Drake and Nike will once again join forces on another apparel collection. With his latest video Laugh Now Cry Later practically being a Nike ad and even showed some scenes taking place at Nike HQ, one could only speculate that a collection would be dropping soon. Drizzy took to Instagram to tease the second collection that would be releasing in December, leaving many to speculate exactly what it would consist of.
After several leaked photos of the Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike Dunk Low “Spiral Sage” hit the web, we now have an official look at the upcoming release.
First seen on feet by Travis Scott, wearing the “Pure Platinum” colorway, CPFM has now opened an official raffle for this collab to give everyone else a chance to purchase. The CPFM x Dunk Low “Spiral Sage” features an upper covered with Swarovski crystals which symbolizes CPFM’s theme of air and sunshine through dynamic light refraction. A padded tongue, Double Vision smiley shoe tag and detachable double lace flap round out the details.
