With 4/20 coming up, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing brands release their special edition capsule collections to coincide with the stoner holiday. This year, Nike SB is drawing inspiration from a hacky sack as they’re releasing a collection dubbed the “Hacky Sack” collection. The collection will consist of the Eric Koston SE, Zoom Stefan Janoski and the Project BA’s.
We’ve secretly been gushing over the Nike Roshe Run Sneakerboots that were first introduced to us late last year, but now even more with the new Premium Leather Pack. You’ll notice that the premium look does go a long way, and it transforms this originally made for running shoe look, into a special occasion shoe look (if that makes sense). The new premium pack features a stitched leather and canvas upper with a hiking inspired lacing system that sits atop an unbelievably comfortable EVA wedge sole. Choose from brown or grey and we promise you’ll be beyond satisfied.
It’s no surprise that the Nike 2014 NFL Silver Speed Collection for Super Bowl XLVII is filled with all sorts of keep-me-warm technology. Being that this years Super Bowl will be played in potentially really cold temperatures, Nike has taken inspiration from the Vince Lombardi trophy, the icy weather of the Northeast, and the bright lights of the city. Standouts from the Silver Speed collection consist of the Super Bowl Edition Aeroloft Summit Jacket, Destroyer Jacket, Pro Combat Hyperwarm Max Shield Hood, Vapor Shield Gloves, and the Nike Lunar Terra Arktos Boots. The new collection is said to be built to outfit the Super Bowl contenders (and we think coaches too) in any weather condition. Check out the full collection at Nike.com.
Downright, the Nike N7 2013 Holiday Collection is pretty bad ass. Together with Pendleton Woolen Mills, they created a blanket to benefit the nation’s largest private provider of scholarships for American Indian students – the American Indian College Fund. The new collection also consists of the PWM N7 Windrunner Jacket (our favorite), PWM N7 Air Force 1 High and PWM N7 Roshe Run, along with several other styles to choose from. Lookout for the collection to drop October 26 at Nike and Footlocker locations.
During Nike’s exclusive event today in New York City, they unveiled the all new Nike+ FuelBand SE for your fitness tracking needs. Now available in three neon color options (volt, crimson or pink), Nike has added a few minor improvements with Bluetooth 4.0, more water resistance, and an improved ability to track movement. They’ve also added the ability to monitor yoga activity and track sleeping habits. Along with that, they introduced the new Nike+ FuelBand app that includes day-to-day statistics, how much, how often and how intensely you move, while also reminding you to move more and move better. Of course, share the data with your friends and set the example for them to follow.
Probably one of the hottest shoes to drop this year was the Nike Flyknit Lunar1+. Now in a new collaborative effort (and not surprising), the Supreme x Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ is here to show us that two of the most sought out brands in the industry, are still two of the most sought out brands in the industry. The new sneaker is that of a Flyknit Lunar1+, but Supreme has added their subliminal and simple aesthetic to the shoe with a half logo gracing the side and full logo on the tongue. It still maintains the performance of Nike Flyknit technology together with the plush, responsive cushioning of Lunarlon. Available in-store NY, LA, London and online on October 3rd, with Japan seeing an October 5th release.
Continuing their in between collaboration releases, Supreme has teamed up with Nike SB to bring us the the Supreme x Nike SB Tennis Classic. Some of you may originally know them as the Wimbledon, but that’s only if you were around back in 1975. If you weren’t around, then you may know them as the re-purposed Tennis Classic after getting an updated cupsole construction in the mid ’80s. Nike SB felt the need to also bring it back in 2005 with an added Zoom Air unit in the heel. Now, NYC based Supreme has added it’s own unique twists to it, as the kicks are available in four different colors and are all made up of premium leather. Available in-store in NY, LA, London and online on April 25th with Japan seeing an April 27th release date.
When I found about this new app from Nike earlier this morning I thought to myself, “What the hell did they do now?” As I’m playing with Nike PHOTOiD I’ve realized it has sucked me in and I don’t want it to spit me out. Two powerhouses like Nike and Instagram have the ability to do that and I can’t complain. Like any other marketing concept, the idea behind this is to obviously get the consumer to buy, buy, buy! But, this damn thing really makes you want to buy, buy, buy the shoe because it’s almost a portrayal of yourself and what you are inspired by. You’re probably like WTF? Well, this new app from Nike seeks to allow users to combine captured moments with a corresponding piece of footwear by applying the image’s color palette to the likes of a number of Air Max classics – the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, and the Air Max 95. Once you feel satisfied with your design the finished product can then be purchased and shared through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Google+, and Instagram itself via smart phone, tablet, or computer.
