Recipe for a great shoe: take an iconic model; use classic color-blocking; add in simple colors, with maybe a pinch of a vibrant, eye-catching tone. That’s what makes the Nike Air Max 90 Black/White-Medium Grey-Volt, going for a white mesh-based upper, set against grey suede overlays, a black leather mudguard and volt accents.Another zipper-adorned Blazer is headed for stores Nike Air Max 2015 Donne in the form of the Nike Blazer Mid AB ‘Hazelnut.’ A medium brown hairy suede covers the upper, complete with that AB-specific medial-side vertical zipper, atop a classic white rubber sole unit.The Air Force 1 Year of the Dragon hits stores on January 14th, and likely will steal most of the shine, but it won’t be the only heat du jour. The Nike Air Force 1 ‘Camo’ release date also coincides with the 14th and, while sporting a much smaller price tag than the YOTD edition, it sports similar good looks. Also featuring patterned textiles over the upper, the Air Force 1 ‘Camo’ comes in two colorways, black/black and cargo khaki/cargo khaki, and adds leather to the mix as well, creating a unique contrast without altering color.We’ve taken a look at each shoe individually, but here’s a look at the entire Nike ‘Year of the Dragon’ pack Nike Air Max 90 Femme together, featuring unique, dragon graphic-adorned versions of the Air Force 1 Low Supreme, Zoom Kobe VII, Zoom KD IV and Air Jordan 2012. This will mark the 11th consecutive year that Nike has made a special line of shoes to pay tribute to the Chinese zodiac, and this year may just be the best, because … well, it’s a dragon.An aesthetic departure from the most recent Blazer we previewed, although in the same vein as the classic model we often see, the new Nike Blazer High Gorge Green/Sail sports a simple look. Green suede covers the upper, while white on the leather Swoosh and vintage-ized (read: aged and slightly yellowed) sole provide some contrast.I only just shared a first look at the shoe yesterday, so I won’t get too into detail again (click here to read that article), suffice it to say that I’ve now tracked down the Nike www.scarpedonnait.it Air Force 1 Year of the Dragon release date. The fantastically beautiful shoe, which sports a dragon-print textile upper and comes in a special AF1 30th anniversary box, will hit House of Hoops and tier zero retailers on January 14th in limited numbers, and will certainly see a bump in price due to its “Supreme” status. Hit the jump for more Nike Air Max 90 Essential Dam photos as well as the style#, which may prove important as it’s not the only black/black Air Force 1 releasing that day.This one’s been out for going on two weeks now, but I see little-to-nothing about it online, hence today’s post. Here goes: the Nike Blazer Mid Premium Hazelnut/Birch-Sport Red is now at retailers and it’s amazingly dope. A slightly slimmed-down upper is constructed from light brown suede, with contrasting black leather on the heel-collar panel and red on the textile heel tab. Nike Blazer Basse Donne Finishing off the look are red round laces and metal boot-style lace holders near the collar.We’ve gotten looks at the Kobe VII, Air Jordan 2012 and KD IV versions, but today we get a first look at the Nike Air Force 1 ‘Year of the Dragon,’ release date as yet unannounced. The shoe sports a black textile upper, decorated with recurring Nike Air Max 2016 Dames tonal dragon graphics, a similarly-styled-but-colorful tongue tag design and a textured leather Swoosh. A great look in general and an especially cool nod to the next year’s Chinese zodiac symbol (the Chinese New Year is January 23rd), stay tuned for more details and updates as they become available.We’re only a few days into 2012 but already we’re seeing some beautiful new iterations of an absolute classic. Two new colorways of the iconic Air Max 1 have hit stores, each sporting a white mesh-based Adidas Superstar Mens upper and blue-and-black or navy-and-red synthetic suede overlays.While the buzz is all about the new 2012 Oregon Rose Bowl uniforms today, there’s still plenty in the shoe world at which to take a look. The upcoming (and seriously nice-looking) Nike Dunk High Black/Varsity Maize, for example, which features an all-leather upper — Nike Air Max 90 Essential Donne yellow overlays against black inlays — and black-and-yellow sole, the latest Dunk to completely eschew white.The model of luxurious simplicity, the new Nike Air Force 1 Mid Premium Grey/White sports a clean grey leather upper, finished with boot-style laces, sitting atop a white rubber midsole. A nice change of pace from some of the more colorful, crazy releases of the last few weeks, this one should be available at NSW accounts in the coming weeks.Shaking up traditional golf fashion a bit, the Nike Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost Uomo Dunk NG is now available, a golf spike-adorned version of the iconic Dunk basketball shoe. The shoe sports waterproof full-grain leather over the upper, a full-length contoured sock-liner that conforms to the wearer’s foot and a rubber cupsole, which of course sports golf spikes.Another ‘cashmere’ Air Force 1 that’s not at all cashmere Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost Donne is headed for stores. Like the last time around the ‘cashmere’ on the Nike Air Force 1 Canvas Cashmere/Obsidian is apparently the name of an off-white, bone-like color. That tone covers most of the canvas upper, with dark blue on the midsole, laces and Swoosh, creating a perfect contrast on a shoe that looks altogether unique (outside some similarities with the last canvas ‘cashmere’ pair), a difficult accomplishment considering the myriad Air Force 1 iterations we’ve seen.Another camouflage-printed Dunk is on tap from SB next year, with the Nike SB Dunk High ‘Camo’ set to release as part of the Fall 2012 line. The shoe, which we shared a teaser of last week, sports black suede (nubuck?) inlaid against green-based-camo canvas overlays, creating a perfect complementary pairing over the upper with the white midsole adding some Adidas ZX Flux Womens contrast.It seems somewhat uncommon for AF1 Highs to hit stores, so you might as well snatch one up when you have the chance, right? And it certainly doesn’t hurt when the latest hightop Air Force looks this good, with a clean white leather upper sitting atop a winter-friendly grey midsole and translucent grey outsole, ensuring that stomping through puddles won’t scuff up your look too much.Well, cashmere is a material, not a color, so I don’t really know what went into naming the Nike Air Force 1 Canvas ‘Cashmere.’ The upper, although soft and smooth, is canvas, not wool, ruling this out as cashmere. Regardless of the name though, this colorway is a welcome addition to the AF1 rotation, sporting an ostensibly premium off-white textile upper, set off by tan on the leather Swoosh (and heel tab), rubber midsole and tongue tag. Hit www.manorceramics.co.uk the jump for a few more looks and stick with NB for release information when it becomes available.The Nike SB Dunk ‘Golden Hops’ release date isn’t until January, but today we have one more look at the fantastic colorway. Featuring a gold suede-based upper, black leather overlays and contrasting white midsole contribute to an overall great look, and one of the last several strapless Dunk Mid SB’s (the Velcro-strapped Dunk Mids return to SB this summer).
