Nike Air Structure Triax 91 “Berry”

Nike Air Structure Triax 91 Purple BerryNike running in the early 90’s brought major heat to the shoe game. The Nike Air Structure Triax 91 is one of those originals a lot of us have been waiting for. You can see the styling cues from other shoes from that era. The Air Structure Triax 91 is like a combination of the Air Max 90, the Air Stab, and the Air Max 180. Which should tell you these will be popular.

The white/varsity purple/berry colorway is a holiday 2008 release. We’ve been anticipating this arrival since back in May. The wait is finally over, as they have began popping up on eBay recently. Which usually means they will hit retailers very soon.

Thanks to sneakernews for the pics. Detailed shots after the jump.

Nike Air Huarache LE 2009 Releases

Nike Air Max Huarache LE 2009 ReleasesNike Air Max LE Huarache 2009 releases will definitely be a must have for a lot of us. The Huarache running shoe was originally released back in the early 90’s. In the last couple years, we have seen basketball versions, cross training versions, and some ACG versions as well. None of them have compared to the running version. It is just one of those shoes that changed the game when it came out. So far, 4 colorways are scheduled to be released next year. In my opinion, the White/Orange is by far the best looking in the group. Followed by the White/Maroon. I can’t stand the tribal print on the other two, though the Grey/Yellow and White/Teal colorways are not bad color combos.

These are 2009 release, we’ll be on the lookout for more info when the time comes. Check the detailed shots after the jump.

Nike Blazer Game Select

Nike Blazer SelectJust a week ago, we previewed a rare sighting of the Air Force II called the ‘Game Select’. Nike is bringing out the Nike Blazer ‘Game Select’ in similar fashion. This Blazer, as does the Air Force II, features a wood grain design on the midsole and a black leather upper. If you recall, the Air Force II had Game Select stitched in red on the side; the Blazer Select counters this with a stitched-in red line towards the rear of the sneaker.

In Black/Silver/Wood, these kicks are very unique to say the least. What’s with Nike and all this wood (pause) lately? Click the jump to see more in-depth pictures; provided by Mita

Nike Air Flight Lite High “Bulls”

Nike Air Flight Lite High BullsBack in 90-91, the Air Jordan 6 carries one characteristic from the Jordan 5 that gave MJ great traction on the court - the icy, clear sole. Jordan wasn’t the only on on the Bulls with a clear sole for the 1990-91 season, sidekick Scottie wore the Nike Air Flight Lite.

Nike is bringing that icy sole back to us again in November, in the classic Chicago Bulls colorway. The Nike Air Flight Lite High is a classic that should not be overlooked. After all, this shoe helped start the Bulls run of greatness, and inspired Nike to bring us the Pippen signature line, not too long after. Take a closer look at this upcoming release after the jump.

They will be available in November for $110 at your local Nike retailer.
