The Air Free Run 2 (2) joined the crowded Retro party this year, but there’s always room for an original colorway. The white/red/black Air Free Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Run 2 was the first Free Run Legacy that boldly shed the Nike swoosh and relied solely on the Air Free Run name, and it surely did not disappoint, as Michael Free Run went on to win his first NBA Slam Dunk Competition with this shoe. The Silver Ann5ersary Air Free Run 2 was first to drop in 2010, followed by the BIN23 Free Run 2, but the OG is prepared for a release next Saturday, May 22nd. You can pre-order your pair from Exit-36 or pick up a pair now on eBay.

It seems Nike Free 4.0 V3 like the Black/Gold colorway seen in the Nike/Free Run/Nike Black History Month will carry over to a few Nike Sportswear released for February as well. Sneaker News recently showed you the Air Max 24/7 in Black/Metallic Gold, so here’s a look at a Women’s Air Force 1 Low colorway following the similar motif; it features a black synthetic leather upper with a metallic gold swoosh and lace dubrae. The story behind the Black/Gold Black History Month 2011 colorway is that the black color represents the color of basketball shoes worn by black basketball players in the 60′s, while the gold represents glory and success of its people. Check out the images below and rep Black History Month in style with these new releases, which just dropped at Kickscrew.

The latest Nike Air Classic BW has some definite World Cup implications.  The Nike Sportswear S6.0 Collection saw Brazilian artist Nunca opt for black for his part of the capsule, leaving white/green/yellow for South African artist Kronk to employ.  Kronk’s Air BW Gen 2s already released with a simple white/green look, so this new pair with healthy portions of yellow has its own vibe.  Sorta half-Kronk/half-Nunca with it’s use of black instead of the traditional blue, Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 these Big Windows are available from Kicks-Crew.
