Nike Skateboarding will continue to grow in 2010. Case in point, the new CVO Mid model that popped up at Agenda. Three colourways have been revealed thusfar: suede pairs in red, grey and black. That makes for grippy ride, and the Era/Authentic-like toe stitching gives these that classic skate aesthetic. You can’t go wrong with this one, so stick with Sneaker News for updates on this and all Nike Skate sneakers. via HS
We’ve said time and time again that the emerging ‘maturity’ of streetwear is having a major impact on sneaker designs (and vice versa). With this pack, Nike has taken a shoe that you might expect to see on an old man and somehow made it look dope. The Nike Auckland Racer comes in a trio with shades of DQM’s superb Dunk threesome from oh-eight. There are grey, blue and black versions of the tonal design that mixes nylon mesh and reflective TPU, all riding white soles. via SF
“Best of” lists are usually a source of much controversy, as opinions will always differ on any debatable topic. So, when we started to put together our Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 list, we got as many opinions as possible, asking our entire staff and some friends in the industry to rank their favorites from the year. Each individual list was then indexed and used to create composite rankings, ensuring that a variety of opinions would be factored into the final cheap nike free run 2 list. The result is a comprehensive list of all the kicks that made our cut this year, along with some crisp photos and background info on each.
