Nike Blazer High Non-Future Cement

Nike Blazer High Non-Future Cement

The Nike Blazer High “Non-Future Limited Edition” is another new release from Nike featuring cement/elephant print. They have combined the classic white, red, and black colors, and added cement. A combination originally introduced way back in 88-89 with the Air Jordan III. In order to update the sole of the Blazer, Nike has mixed it with “Free” technology. These updates to the Blazer make it a good looking, wearable shoe, but if every shoe in the Nike line-up is available with cement print then what makes it unique? I love cement print, so much in fact that I re-wrapped the interior of my car in it! No Joke! But I have to ask…

At what point does Nike need to show some discern in the usage of cement print?

These are definitely a pass for me, but you can decide by checking out the pics after the jump. Available now at Atmos for about $140.

Nike Womens Air Max 90 Black/Purple

Nike Air Max 90 Womens Black/PurpleWe gave you a taste of these yesterday in the Fall 2008 Air Max Release post. Today we have full shots for you of the Nike Womens Air Max 90 Black/Purple. This shoe is straight heat! Ladies, fellas, kids, it doesn’t matter. If it is available in your size you should be copping this one.

Originally, from the leaked pictures, it looked as though this shoe might release with an all purple midsole. I think that would have been a waste, as the Air Max 90 midsole is one of the best features of the shoe, especially when multiple colors are used. Think of the Infrared 90’s, if they had a solid color midsole, nobody would have bought them. The seperation of colors accentuates the Air bubble as well. Using a solid color midsole seems to cheapen the look of the shoe.

This Air Max 90 is available now at Proper.Check it out after the jump. What do you think did Nike come correct with this release by changing the color of the midsole?

Nike Air Max 90 Grey/White

Nike Air Max 90 Grey/WhiteThe second Nike Air Max 90 of the day is a definite must have for Nike running heads. Just a simple color way in grey and white. The shoe features the same rugged mesh uppers as the AM90 Black/Black we showed you earlier today. The Air Max 90 is just a classic, you can never have too many of them in your collection. Even if you want some more flashiness, these are good platform to start a pair of custom kicks with.

Maybe I’m just too simple, but these hit hard with me. If Nike continues dropping the AM90 in colorways like this, they will have me broke like MC Hammer. I think so far today my cost in kicks is about $295 with these two Air Max 90 releases.

Nike Air Max 90 Vegan Black/Black

Nike Air Max 90 Black/Black VeganWe’ve been talking a lot about the Adidas Grün Collection, with it’s earth friendly materials. Well, this Nike Air Max 90 Black/Black is right up there with it, it is 100% vegan. Meaning, it’s an all synthetic upper and has no animal by products used in it. It also has a rugged, breathable, mesh material on the toebox and other areas of the upper. Normally Nike would be using a leather upper, but in this vegan model they have chosen to go all synthetic, which should help some those cows rest easier at night.

This is a perfect shoe for reppin’ the sneakerhead lifestyle in a job that won’t allow self expression on your feet. You know, retail, food service, etc. Those of you puttin’ in work at Best Buy, Starbucks, Target, etc. Pick these up rep the shoe game, even when you’re at work. You can’t go wrong with an all black classic.
