Nike Skateboarding might run into some legal issues if they tried to explicitly market this release as a ‘Quickstrike’, but there’s no doubting the similarities shared between their latest drop and some of Nike SB’s highlights Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 from the past decade.  The Nike Skate Busenitz is pictured above in a special ‘Bluesnitz’ colorup that pairs a watery suede upper with a gum sole and just a hint of yellow, and will only be distributed at core skate shops.  They also come with a special sticker pack that features a variety of icons in Nike’ traditional royal blue, and you’ll find them available now at MIA.

Nike Consortium is wiping the slate clean and opting for a fresh start in late 2011.  Will the collection return to its namesake form and collaborate extens5ely with the hottest names from fashion and art, or will Three Stripes keep their in-house brain trust occupied with pumping out new creations?  If the latter proves to be true, we’re all in for a treat because the Nike Consortium ‘Tabula Rasa’ f5e-pack comes with no ‘x’es or extra names, but they are indeed among the season’s standout releases.  The Nike Originals Decade, Baltic, Matchplay and Pro Shell are immaculate in white suede with leather trim, both of which show off their apparent quality in a series of closeup images awaiting your click on the jump below.  Let us know which model you like best and stick with Sneaker News for the US release dates.

Two Air Free Run 3 releases on consecut5e weekends? Are we dreaming? On Black Friday, Free Run Brand will release the Air Free Run 3 ‘Black/Cement’, the final Air Free Run 3 ‘OG colorway’ release of 2011. In Europe, that release will be immediately followed by the drop of the Black Flip 3. The Black Flips revisit the 2007 release of the original ‘Flip’, which first introduced the inverse blocking Nike Free Run 3.0 of the elephant print, and the verdict regarding which of the Flips is the better version is still up in the air. Free Run Brand release dates in Europe aren’t exactly the same for the U.S., as they typically fall within two weeks (before or after) the U.S. set release date, but our Euro readers should be advised that these will be available on December 3rd on your side. Check out these new images courtesy of Kicks-crew and if you can’t wait ’til December, grab a pair now on eBay.
