A huge part of the Nike Air Force 1‘s sustained success is the immense variety of styles we’ve seen over the years. Each element and the shoe as a whole is capable of such extreme customization, sometimes all it takes is just a single element to set off a new design. Take for instance the Swooshes that run from heel badge through the mid panel on the Air Force 1 Low; we’ve seen them done countless times in the ‘standard’ stitched-on configuration, some with perforated outlines or double-layered Swooshes. This latest pair derives its novelty from the contrast of a black nubuck upper and vibrant blue accents (very ‘Send Help’) including an embroidered Swoosh the likes of which we’ve not seen aside from last year’s ‘Denim’ Premiums (and those had more of a herringbone stitch).

You can expect Nike Basketball’s Big Three athletes to all get their signature sneakers equipped with ‘Black History Month’ colorways come February. It looks like there are going to be even more basketball offerings beyond that to do the ‘BHM’ thing. Pictured here is the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2012 Low ‘BHM’ which gets way more thorough as far as the patterning up top than the Nike LeBron X ‘BHM’. Hit the jump for more of the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2012 Low on the feet of Steve Nash and let us know in the comments if you’re looking forward to the pair.

The New Balance 574 is one of several significant sneaker designs celebrating a 25th anniversary next year.  Size? decided to go back even further, crafting three new pairs in simple yet bold colorways inspired by a simpler time.  The NB574 ’70s Pack reminds us that we’re blessed to have such a huge variety for today’s performance runners, as three primary colors remind us of a time before anyone ever considered combining purple and teal or any of the other more modern sport aesthetics we’ve come to know and love.  The time machine theme is a perfect match for the Friday, December 21st drop date, but with all a huge holiday season spread still growing larger, will you have room for these Size? exclusives?

A Nike Free Run + lot can happen in ten years.  In twenty-five, you cover so much ground, you’ll end up right where you started.  The Air Jordan III is proof; a tenured veteran whose legacy is well chronicled, who ten years ago demonstrated that the Jumpman it debuted all the way back in 1988 had surpassed even ‘Nike Air’ when it came to basketball supremacy.  A quarter-century after Tinker Hatfield’s first Air Jordan debuted, the Three gets back to the original branding with the ‘White Cement’ colorway dropping in February.  We have images comparing the upcoming release to the previous 2003 edition; let us know what you think and stick with Sneaker News for the exact release date.
