The Dunk, Bruin, and Blazer are just some of Nike’s most prized classics that have been converted into skate form. You can now add the Nike Killshot to that list. This old school tennis shoe rocked by Jon McEnroe looks to make yet another comeback after its 2009 Retro release, grasping onto a skate-ready vulcanized midsole and a tonal upper. Much like the other slimmed down Nike SB releases like the V-Rod and Zoom Koston 1, the Nike SB Killshot LR offers a nice alternat5e in visual appeal while offering the same in skate performance. No worth on what comfort technology will be implemented into this new release, but a closer look reveals a neon green insole, which could point to yet another Nike Lunar skate shoe.

Are Nike LeBron 9 iDs the new Air Max 85 Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Bespokes?  The experience of creating your own custom design online isn’t exactly the same as doing it in person at 21 Mercer, but it’s hard to argue that the Nine isn’t an ultra-premium release in its own right.  And now that the LeBron 9 is available on NIKEiD, we’ve started to see some impress5e designs like the firey ‘Super Flame’ edition that popped up yesterday.  Just as those were a takeoff on another LeBron 9 colorway, this ‘Taxi’ iD can be seen as connected by a thematic thread to the Zoom LeBron VI in the same colorway, a string literally reflected in what looks like that pair of ZL6s’ laces swapped in.  Click through to see more details and let us know which themes or colorways you’d most like to apply to the Nike LeBron 9 on NIKEiD.  via awsome blossom on NT

Its only releases to date in the new millenium have been Premium-level limited releases, so why change what’s worked so far for the Air Free Run 1 KO? One good answer to that question could be, “Because they also look dope in non-canvas materials”, so while these new AJKOs might not be a true Quickstrike, they do indeed offer an unprecedented range of materials for this model. We might have said “colors and materials”, but while these tonal leather editions are indeed novel to the short story that is the AJKO’s history, there’s not too much ‘range’ at play, beyond the wide array of clothing options you’ll be able to rock thanks to their simplicity. The black pair will hit select Free Run Brand retailers soon including LDRS1354 on November 15th with grey and brown pairs soon to follow, so click through to see more angles and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Air Free Run release dates.
