2010 Nike Pegasus 89 White/Black/Rave Pink/Grey
Nike has been manufacturing the Zoom Pegasus 27 since 1983. In that time the shoe has become one of Nike's most popular cushioning shoe. It has consistently given neutral and under pronating (When the foot does not roll inward enough after the outside the heel hits the ground) runners a comfortable and lightweight shoe for training. For 2010 the Pegasus 27 has been updated and is finally offered in gender specific versions.
The sole of the Zoom Pegasus is new for 2010. Although similar to the sole in the Pegasus 25 and 26, the heel features a Nike Air unit to absorb the initial contact the heel makes with the ground. The midsole is now made out of Cushlon as opposed to Phylon, this is a material developed by Nike for shock absorption. What makes the material unique is that it returns to it's original shape after every step. Under the heel is a crash pad to absorb the impact of the foot landing, the location of which varies depending on whether the shoe is for a man or woman.
Under the arch of the shoe is a piece of TPU (a plastic material), which is known as a shank. This connects the heel of the sole with the forefoot to provide stability, help control pronation, and help keep the foot in a natural position. The forefoot also features deep flex grooves for stability. These too are in various locations depending on what gender the shoe is designed for. Finally, the outsole is made of carbon rubber for traction and protection of the shoes.
Not much has changed in the midsole of the latest Nike Zoom Pegasus 27 midsole. Nike instead chose to improve the fit of the upper. The front of the shoe is made from a seamless, semi- bootie to reduce foot chafing. Synthetic leather overlays have been modified around the toebox and arch to keep a runner's foot in place.
Crooked Tongues keeps the Nike fire burning with a new Pegasus 89 pre-order. “Part of the series that started in ‘82, the Pegasus was a flagship runner in its many forms over the ’80s and early ’90s. This retro captures the shoe in all its ‘89 splendour. Much lusted over prior to retro, the material mix and silhouette is evocative of an era. This is a great chapter in Nike’s running history.”

2011 The Air Jordan II (2) Retro Qf Mens Sneaker Style
The Jordan Brand has grown very well under its parent company, Nike. The Air Jordan is available in most of the shoe stores of U.S. Michael Jordan retired and the shoes still were much in demand. The Jordan Empire has introduced many series of shoes and dedicated it to the great player and well known sports personality, Michael Jordan. The Air Jordan empire also has to its credit many designs and varieties of sneakers which have also become quite popular. The retro styles are very much in demand and the Jordan Brand has taken up the new job of re-inventing all its old classic models. Thus, emerged Air Jordan Nu'Retro 2.
The Air Jordan II has got its inspiration from its ancestor. The older version had a style of its own with high top cut, cup sole, original Jordan wings logo and also stitched bordering. On the contrary, the newer version boasts of being trim and sleek. But what is interesting here is that there are both similarities and differences in both these models. The Retro 2 uses a fuller length of air sole which lends extra comfort to the wearer. The original shoes used only traditional laces. The other details like Jordan's sports achievements through 1987 are mentioned. There is mention of the Jumpman logo which was introduced in the year 1987. The mainline Air Jordan II was the only shoes which was not black in color.
The Retro 2 is a stylish and elegant shoe. Its feat on the hardwood differs. The Retro shoes offer good ankle support because of the high cut. The Nubuck synthetic leather of the shoe is unstretchable and does not sag as compared to other types of leather. These shoes are definitely different from the other shoes which are available of late. A very good advantage here is that these shoes are made of air soles which lend support and comfort too. The other negative in this type of shoes is that it is not provided with an external arch support and hence fast breaks, landings, quick cuts become a conscious activity and not an effortless job. They are made of man made materials e.g. carbon fiber plate and hence the wearer would feel very hot. It is absolutely impossible for the air to pass making it difficult for the feet to breathe properly. There is practically no place for the heat to escape and hence sometimes they are not as comfortable as they are thought to be.
The shoes are best when used on pavements and not so good on hardwood. If you are not able to buy a true retro sneaker, then the second best option is to go in for a Nu Retro.
Set to hit retail shops on October 23 for $135, we bring you a new look at the Air Jordan II Retro in a Black/White colorway. Jordan pairs the black nubuck upper with a translucent iguana skin print that extends from the ankle to the forefoot. White takes a softer approach and enhances the lines of the upper as well as the liner.

(October 2010) Charcoal/Black Nike Dunk High Premium SB
Since 1991, Nike shoes (whose namesake hails after the Greek goddess for victory) have garnered tons of accolades and no one can mistake their instantly recognizable "swoosh." Among the most popular line are the Nike SB Dunks. The great thing about these is that they can be had for under one-hundred dollars at an authorized dealer. Demand for these Nike Dunk SBs, however, has driven prices up over the thousand-dollar mark. And where there's money, there's people doing anything they can to get it, including making fake Nike Skateboarding Dunks to sell to the unsuspecting buyer. Therefore, it's vitally important to learn what the real thing looks like before you hand over your hard earned money.
1. The first step is to examine the actual Nike Dunk SB box. Those from the first and second series hand orange boxes. The third series came in a silver box with a green label. These have also come in silver with an orange label, pink with black or orange labels, and black and purple boxes with black labels. If the Nike SB Dunk is in a different colored box, they may not be the real thing.
2. The second step is to take the shoes out of the box. A clear, resealable bag should be attached to the shoes. This bag should contain spare laces for the Nike SB Dunks. The bag should feature the Nike logo and swoosh in solid black with the SB letters beneath. Make sure this lettering is quality and not cheaply painted on or applied.
3. The third step is to actually check the spare shoelaces. They should be different in color than what is already laced in the Nike Dunk SB. Authentic laces will be flat and wide whereas fakes are often cheap, thin, and round.
4. The fourth step is to check the Nike Dunk SBs tongue. It should be a thick, curved tongue that is either V-shaped or U-shaped. If it is thin or squared off, it is fake.
5. The fifth step is to make sure the letters of the Nike logo that is embroidered on the back are nice and fat. Also, make sure they are correctly spaced and the "E" especially is not too far away from the "K."
6. The sixth step involves examining the Swoosh emblems. It is important that the Swoosh on the Nike Skateboarding Dunks is neither too thick nor too thin. Also, be wary if the stitching does not line up right along the edge of the Swoosh.
7. The seventh and final step is to look at the soles. Authentic Nike SB Dunks have both "Nike" and the Swoosh along with their respective registered trademark symbols (R for registered). You'll find these molded into the sole of the Nike SB Dunk right in the mid-position. If the R symbol and the logos are not at the same level, then it is a sure sign you are holding fakes.
Hopefully the next time you get your hands on a great deal, you'll remember these tips and can quickly ascertain whether the Nike SB Dunks are the real things.

2011 Nike Dunk High Pro SB (Venom) Anthracite/Orion Blue-White
The Nike Dunk High (6.0 Swan in Metallic Gold) is one of the products in the Nike 'High' dunks family. Other notable products in this rather big family include the Nike Dunk High SB Glow in the Night, the collection Royale Dontrelle's Nike Dunk High, the Custom Red Bull Nike Dunk High, the Oreos Paris Nike Dunk Custom High and the Black Coral Nike 6.0 High Dunk; to name but a few of the many products in this considerably large family.
Although officially classified as a high dunk, the Nike High (6.0 Swan in Metallic Gold) is not such a tall shoe. Indeed, in a less stringent classification system, Nike High 6.0 Swan could quite as easily pass for a mid dunk. It is not that this shoe is particularly small, really, but rather that it lacks the 'illusion of height' that characterizes most other 'high' dunks. As such, it makes a good shoe for the person who wants the comfort that a high dunk offers, without having to contend with the attention a spectacularly high dunk is likely to attract as the wearer moves around.
Colorwise, Nike Dunk High (6.0 Swan in Metallic Gold) can neither be described as too 'loud' a shoe, nor too 'quiet' a shoe. It is really a shoe that falls somewhere between the two extremes. The very bottom part of the shoe's sole, the part that is in touch with the ground is colored light blue; with the upper part of the sole, the part that is connects the sole to the shoe's body being colored white. On the shoe's upper body, at least four colors can be identified. First is white, on the patch towards the middle of the shoe, where the Nike tick originates. White is also to be found on two other patches, first on top of the patch where the toes go in inside the shoe, and again towards the back end of the shoe.
Then there is gold, metallic gold to be sure, which while being the color the issue is identified with, is in fact not the most dominant color on it. Indeed, this color only shows on the Nike Tick on this shoe - which as in all modern Nike, goes all the way to the back of the shoe, and emerges at the opposite side of it. A lighter shade of brown, intermingled with shades of yellow, can be seen on the patch towards the back of the shoe, with yellow being the color on a patch towards the top of the shoe, where the foot first goes in. Finally, there is pink, which is the color Nike has chosen for the original shoelaces on Nike Metallic Gold.
For securing the shoe in place, Nike provides wearers of the Nike High (6.0 Swan in Metallic Gold) with a shoe lace mechanism. As in most high dunks, this is quite long -at 18 holes (in 9 pairs), though the wearer does of course have the option of leaving some of these unlaced.

The mainly Anthracite sneaker almost falls in line with the all grey everything trend thats going on right now but that Orion Blue really does snap when set against it and the subtle black accents. These are color blocked very well and the white midsole does a great job of neutralizing things. These are available now at select retailers.

Nike Trainer 1.2 Mid Premium Holiday 2010
The company that is known around the world to anyone in any country that has ever kicked a ball or watched any sort of televised sports or athletic event in his or her life is Nike, an American Company that is one of the largest athletic shoe and apparel manufacturers in the world and one of the most highly respected and recognized brands in the world.
For a company that is so well known by its name that is inspired by the Greek goddess of victory, few people know that the company was not actually started with this name and actually changed its name to Nike in 1978, almost a decade and a half after it was first started. The company was started in 1964 under the name Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. Phil was a track athlete at the University of Oregon and his coach Bill Bowerman had set up the company to sell shoes form a Japanese manufacturer at track meets. This was done on a very small scale to begin with, most sales were made fromthe back of Phil Knight's car.
Things moved very fast and the duo were making good sales and great profits and soon enough Blue Ribbon Sports had opened its first retail store in the area. A few years later when the contract that Blue Ribbon Sports had with the Japanese company was expiring, Knight and Bowerman decided to start manufacturing and selling their own shoes called NIke Trainers instead of reselling the Japanese company's products any longer.
The first shoe that Knight and Bowerman sold to the public that had the Nike logo on it was in the year 1971. Soon Nike trainers were selling better than the duo had ever expected and in just a few years later they would begin selling shoes that they had designed themselves.
The Nike Trainer SC Premium has been released for Holiday 2010 in three solid color ways. Next to two tonal versions, the sneaker also comes in a great brown/dark army colorway, perfect for this season.

Nike Dunk SB (Takashi 2)
Patterns aside, though, the Nike-Dunk X Cassette Playa does deliver on its promise of tallness, it being a shoe that towers at almost a half of a foot at its highest. It starts off from what might be described as an advantaged point, height-wise, thanks to its it rather high sole, which adds at least an inch, if not more to its overall height. Of course, the Nike Dunk High Premium is not a boot, and most of the height it is associated with is created through 'upper body' design considerations (which created 'illusions of height'), rather than that just elongating the shoe endlessly. In this regard, the shoe starts off with quite a long flat region on its front (where the toes are supposed to go in), but then gains a remarkably steep gradient towards the center which -as would be expected, peaks at the tip of the 'nose' of the shoe (where the shoe meets the wearer's foot-shaft), before somehow abating from that highest point towards the back, so that the very back point is slight lower than the very mid region at the tip of the shoe's tongue.
My particular pair of the Nike Dunk X Cassette Playa is primarily black (as most cassette players were, one would say), though in keeping with Nike's established liberality with color, a number of other color elements do make a showing on the shoe, including blue (which is what makes up the circular 'cassette player element') and red - which graces a few patches here and there on the shoe, and finally yellow, which has the 'honor' of adorning the very back end of the shoe.

New Nike Dunk Hi x fragment design
We get a preview of some upcoming Nike Dunk Hi sneakers in collaboration with fragment design. Previewed are two pairs, which seem to be coming with different colorways on the right and left foot. The fragment design logo by Hiroshi Fujiwara is placed on the heel of each sneaker.
The Nike Dunk High Premium is one of the products in the 'high' Nike dunks products, which includes others like the popular Nike Dunk High Premium Notebook, the Nike Dunk High Premium Osaka Dotonbori, and the Nike Dunk High Premium SB - Bloody Sunday, among others. Now while I have had an opportunity to use quite a huge variety of the Nike dunks, I have to confess that it is the Nike Dunk High Premium ND X Cassette Playa (which I only got to use recently) that I have since gotten most enchanted with.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing things about the Nike-Dunk High Premium is its name, which it apparently gets from a circular pattern somewhere towards the center of the shoe (where the Nike Tick is rooted) - which very much resembles the typical cassette player. And while cassette players might have been pushed out of fashion by the CD and MP3 players of today, the Nike Dunk High Premium ND X Cassette Playa is definitely one shoe that has not been pushed out of fashion; and in fact without having heard about its name, it might be a bit hard for you to conceptualize the circular pattern at the center of the Nike Dunk High Premium as being representative of a cassette player.

Obsidian / Red color of The new Nike Dunk Hi SB
The shoe features an obsidian quarter panel and ankle with red on the swoosh and laces. The blocking on this one is done very nicely leaving a full heel and toe to be done in a tan suede that matches the gum outsole. A white midsole finishes the affair off nicely, helping to creating one of the nicest colorways we’ve seen this year.
The Nike Dunk High Pro SB is one of the new products in the Nike Dunk product line, alongside the likes of the Nike Dunk High Premium SB Mork and Mindy, the Nike Dunk High Barricade Transformers and the Nike Dunk High Premiums, which are truly giving the Nike Classics a run for their money quite literally. After having the opportunity to use the Nike Dunk High Pro SB, and having gotten thoroughly enchanted with it, it is not hard for me to see why this shoe is proving to be such a major hit.
One of the most attractive features of the Nike Dunk High Pro SB, one has to admit, is Nike's choice of color schemes for the shoes. The colors schemes in question here, as it turns out, are colors that are designed to be simply hard to ignore for 'spectators' seeing one wearing the Dunks out there. My pair, for instance, is based on the black yellow color scheme, the tone of black employed here being the 'real' absolute black tone, and the yellow being the 'darkest' tone of it, to make for a conspicuous combination indeed. Towards the bottom of the shoe, where the upper region of the shoe borders with the shoe's sole, Nike Dunk High Pro SB comes with a brief white section - which is in fact a region of white paint on what otherwise appears to be the shoe's basically black sole. It would seem that Nike chooses to employ white at this point to create the 'contrast effect' which is otherwise not so apparent in the black-yellow color scheme employed all over the rest of the shoe.

Fun With Nike Air Max 1
A very solid new Nike Air Max 1 has released this week. The sneaker comes with a dark green upper, white accents and a gum outer sole.
The answer to that question lies in the fact that the model itself has been around in one form or another since 1998, which is a lifetime in the sport shoe industry. It's quite often the fact that shoe makers like Nike will introduce the model one year and discontinue it just six months later. The Air Max TN is a notable exception, though.
What's for certain is that Nike wearers are a very loyal group. And they come in all ages, too. There are people running around in Nike shoes that remember getting their first pair of "waffle soles" way back in the mid-1970s. What's also for certain is that this particular pair of Nikes bears no resemblance whatsoever to those pioneering shoes.
A particular favorite of the skateboard set, the Nike Air Max TN comes in a wide variety of looks, including one pair that sports a skeleton. Now that's a style that is sure to be welcome at some of the finest dining establishments in Manhattan or Beverly Hills, right? Standard black/white and a fine skeleton motif... That should go well with black tie and tuxedo or white tie and tails at an MTV Video Music Awards show.

first look Nike SB Zoom FB February 2011
We get a first look at an upcoming colorway of the all new Nike SB Zoom FB low top sneaker. In February 2011 the sneaker will be released in a new khaki colorway, featuring a white mid-sole and a gum outer sole.
The market seemed to have shifted more towards meeting the skate boarding needs of the generation rather than basketball. Keeping the state of demand in view, a new brand of Nike shoes was designed specially for skate boarding when this product was re-launched in 1998. Based on the purpose of release, this brand was named Nike dunks SB. However, both the sports have a lot in common. That's the reason collating both the brands at the same time weren't much of a trouble as it was already a popular name for basketball in the market. There were some significant changes made for Nike dunks in order to fit the skate boarding culture.
Skate boarding as well as basketball requires a lot of durability and strength as both of the games include quick moves and a lot of strain. So the feet and toes undergo constant strain and tussle. Hence the Nike dunks SB was double stitched with action leather and low outlined sole. This helps the gamers get a grip on the board and bounce. The added features in the SB shoes include the zoom air sole, puffy tongue and seudo toe caps in order to make it further comfortable and classy. Nike dunks are an ideal collections material for a skate boarding or basketball lover.

Nike SB – Newsprint Blazer Hi
Originally thought to be a scrapped sample, the Newsprint Nike SB Blazer has found it’s way to the shelves of Nike SB stockists, such as Active. Using a predominately monotone colorway, the Blazer is done in Black, Gray and White, using suede all over the upper. The use of White on the Swoosh and heel tab really make the branding pop, a nice touch to the otherwise drab color scheme.
