I like the simplicity of this colorway I just wish the blue was a little darker or brighter. This looks too much like University Blue which I’m not really a fan of.

Don’t worry you don’t have to blink, you’re not in the Twilight Zone. That’s what it probably felt like when you took a look at this new colorway of the Nike Air Force 1.

Covered in Black throughout out the entire upper, this Nike Air Force 1 High is then accented by white speckling all throughout to give it an intergalactic look that reminds us of the opening credits of The Twilight Zone. Adding a bit more contrast is red/orange detailing on the tongue branding and the ankle strap. A white sole unit caps things off on this eye-catching colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 that can be found now at select retailers for $100.

Author’s Take

One of the nicer colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 that I’ve seen lately. They would have been even better if there would have been come contrast on the Swoosh and if they would have been Lows instead of Highs.

Even though this is an OG colorway of the Air Penny 2 it’s just a little too plain for my liking. I prefer the Miami Heat colorway that released earlier this year.

Pop quiz! The Nike Air Max 90 made its debut in 1990, but when the the Nike Air Max 1 make its debut? Stumped? One look on the heel of this Air Max 1 and you will find your answer. Today we get another look at the Nike Air Max 1 87.

Author’s Take

I like the concept behind the shoe, but if I were to design it, I would have made the 87 very small and place it on the side of the heel. Kind of like how the ’23’ is placed on the Air Jordan 5.

If you hear anyone talking about the Nike Air Presto right now chances are that they’re probably talking about the new Ultra Flynit version, especially since it just landed on NIKEiD.

But believe it or not lots of people still love the original. One of the new colorways that has landed on the original Nike Air Presto is this Rio Teal option that you see above. As you can see, teal dominates the upper of this Presto with a milky white side panel/heel cage serving as a great contrast. The midsole, laces, and inner liner are also done in white while the rubber outsole is done in black.

Do you plan on picking up this Rio Teal colorway of the Nike Air Preto when it hits retailers?

Great Spring/Summer colorway of the Air Presto. I’m still looking to pick up my first pair. Could it be this one?
