Nike Dunk AC Vintage (Detailed Look)

Prematurely vintage sneakers have become a sort of trend as of lately, and Nike is embracing the movement with the release of the Nike Dunk AC Vintage collection.  The collection includes the Nike Dunk in several colorways, all of which have been given a vintage feel through yellowed soles and distressed tongues. The Nike Dunk AC Vintage is available now at select Nike accounts.

Jordan Brand Play In These F Varsity Purple and University Blue

Jordan Brand is set to release two additions to the Play In These F set in strong Varsity Purple and University Blue colorways. We are also given an Air Max unit in the heel, proving these sneakers weren’t made just to look good. This first model is officially set in Varsity Purple/White, a color combination that really highlights the design of the shoe.Varsity purple dominates the mixed synthetic and patent leather upper, switching from a darker to a lighter hue on the outer most areas of the shoe.  The second pair takes a similar approach to to the colorway, with the only difference being university blue is traded for the varsity purple. Both pairs sport a white outsole as well as a white liner and white Jumpman logo.

Nike Free 3.0 v2

Nike is continuing their dedication to the “free” runner with version 2 of the Nike Free 3.0.Comfort is always a factor in the minds of the Nike camp, and they achieve that goal with the superb Nike 3.0 outsole. Function is also matched by design with the sneaker. Not only is it one of lightest runners available, the Nike Free 2.0 utilizes a one piece mesh upper which helps with the shoes flexibility . Nike keeps the colorway simple, using black as the dominate color on the upper and using spark blue on the Nike Swoosh and other branding efforts. Available now at Six Feet Deep.

PUMA Suede Classic Grey/Red/White

The 80′s have definitely made a full comeback and PUMA happens to agree by reissuing two classic models: the Suede Classic Mid and Dallas. Simple, yet elegant, these shoes feature red leather on the PUMA logo and grey suede uppers. The Classic Mid features the PUMA branding in gold while the Dallas uses silver foil.The inner lining also features the same red leather as the outside arch logo.  Clean white rubber outsoles complete the early 80′s look. .

Nike Air Pegasus ’89 White – Black – Anthracite

The Nike Air Pegasus was definitely one of the more innovative runners of its time. Decades later the sneaker still holds weight as both the Nike Air Pegasus ’89 and the Nike Air Pegasus ’92.
For its most recent return the Nike Air Pegasus ’89 gets an interesting color blocking and materials update.  The sneaker also features tonal polka dot paneling on the nylon mesh underlay which gives the sneaker a very subtle yet fresh design.The shoe dons a White toe box and Black/Anthracite heel.
