Onward marches the Nike Dress Code 1/2 Collection, and this new design best typifies the spirit of the set so far. Is the Nike Trio CC a loafer? It has a comfy nike frees 3.0 v3 cup sole and we don’t typically see suede or canvas on penny kicks. Then again, the upper is clearly not your typical sneaker. But the colours also demand attention more than, say, brown or black. So you’ve got a classic design melded with a sneaker’s sole and materials, and you know Nike Japan is going to do them up in all sorts of crazy colourways. The three pictured above have already hit select retailers. via SM
There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Nike Skate’s upcoming line of kicks. They’ve managed to do what Nike SB seemed to lack of the last couple of years; keeping it simple. While the models you see pictured aren’t exactly groundbreaking designs, Nike managed to perfect these classics to the point where you might change your skater-gear options.
Nike has made five models available in their skate line: the Pro Leather, which features a chunky skater version of their classic shoe; the CVO, the old-school low-profile pair; the Sea Star, a boat-shoe like model rivaling the Nike SB Stefan Janoski; the Weapon S Ox, a low-top everyday skater shoe; and the Weapon S xhi, a high-top that should really make a mark. This starting-five of skate shoes look very promising � I myself can’t wait to rock a pair. Watch for these to drop at select retailers soon. via Nike.
