Lebron James World Tour Visits Nike Headquarters
 Lebron James is on a world tour but not a tribe called quest kind more like a hoops world kind. He stopped in Beaverton to showcase his skills and visit the good ole people of Nike and its great people to a little get together. Lebron took pictures and played some ball outside a court on the campus where all the magic happens. Here are some pictures of the event, thank you KKjordan23 at Niketalk.com |
Nike Air Yeezy New Pictures
 The Air Yeezy has been somewhat of a mysterious topic some people have no clue when these will drop. Kanye dropped a verse freestyling implying on the verse that these will drop November, but only time will tell. Here is a look of the first color way that he wore at the Grammy’s performance. It’s probably the best look at them we have gotten so far. Thank you for the pics Werd2bigbird |
Womens Nike Air Max BW Classic “Vivid Pink”
 Colors and materials make or break a sneaker. This couldn’t be more evident than with the Air Max BW where the choice of the right colors and upper materials separate timeless gems from outlet dwellers.
Nike kicks off 2009 with some great Air Max BWs for both men and women. We previously informed you of the Black/Persian Violet BW’s coming back, but the ladies will be treated to the Vivid Pink Air Max BW. The simplicity and balance of colors pull it all together on this one. It is also important to note the shoes sport the ever-so-popular mesh toe-box. Only another five and a half months ladies!

Nike Air Flight Lite Low
 Scottie Pippen laced up in the Nike Air Flight Lite Low 17 years ago while helping Mike and company shut down the Lakers in 5 games in the ‘91 Finals. Just about 2 decades later Nike is making a big push for this classic sneaker with and array of colors - some old, some new, and some blue.
Nike brings new (and blue) treatments to this sneaker on an old, classic silhouette with a solid varsity royal upper with white accents. The colors are well balanced across the top of the shoe and all the way to the tinted clear sole sole on the bottom. These are available now at select Nike dealers and stocked online at Finishline for Update: Nice Kicks readers can save 15% at checkout using coupon code NICEKICKS15. Thanks Finishline for hooking us up with that! |
“Notebook” Grade School Dunks and Air Max 90
|
Last summer we saw Nike stress the importance of education by way of the “Back To School Pack” that included an Elmer’s Blue Air Max 90, Composition Notebook Dunk High, and Crayola Crayons Vandals all in men’s sizes, but for this year Nike carries the Notebook theme in grade school sizes. The Dunk Low and Air Max 90 both come in the Notebook theme complete with the Composition cover pattern and lined paper across the upper. Get your Back to School shopping done a little early this season. These are available now at The Darkside Initiative. Info from High Snobiety. |
Nike Air Max 1 Premium “Medal Pack”
|
Much attention is focused on the upcoming Olympic Games taking place next month in Beijing. Though not the official outfitter at the Olympics (Adidas got the gig), Nike has a solid lineup of Olympics inspired gear for fans that extends from performance basketball sneakers all the way to the classic Air Max 1. Fit for the podium, three pairs were suited up in premium leather along with a metallic Swoosh and accents on the sneaker. To each his (or her) own on preference, but in this lineup, I think I would fake a cramp and take the silver or bronze. The “Medal Pack” Nike Air Max 1 Premiums first surfaced in Europe earlier this month but have been distributed to select spots as a quickstrike including Proper in Long Beach, CA. Proper |
Nike Dunk Hi “Shoe Goo”
 Ever used Shoe Goo to help your shoes to get more use of them? Nike SB made a shoe based on the magical slime, with red leather white stitching a blue canvas and buttery clear midsole. The shoe is a premium release this month so check your local Nike SB accounts for info on when these drop. Thanks to Arktz for the Pictures. |
