Nike forever changed history in 1985 when the ‘Original 7′ collegiate basketball programs suited up in the OG ‘Be True to Your School’ Dunks. These original Dunks defined the default colorblocking pattern and immortalized Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Syracuse, UNLV and Villanova’s team colors in the process. Now, some thirty-two years later, we’ve seen plenty of Nike Free Run Shoes reprisals of that debut theme, and this latest one seeks to shine some colorful light on three US cities that’ve made good on the potential of human understanding symbolized by colleges and universities. Nike Be True 2012 celebrates how New York, San Francisco and Portland have become beacons for the LGBT community, issuing city-specific footwear designs along with an accompanying hat and tee later this month. The Nike Air Royal pictured above will arrive at Niketown NYC next Friday, June 22nd, so click through for more images as well as details on the Portland Lunar Flow and San Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 Francisco Air Flytop.
Black and Yellow has been owned by the LIVEstrong camp for the last few years, but with no true Jordan Brand Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 x LIVEstrong release, we can only think of ‘Thunder and Lightning’. So had these Spiz’ike samples released (originally intended for Spring/Summer 2012), the ‘Thunder’ moniker would’ve followed suit rather seamlessly, would it not? Black/Yellow Air Jordans are fairly few and far in-between, so there’s no doubt these Jordan Spiz’ike ‘Thunders’ would’ve been a hot pick. You can, however, add these to your collection, because this crispy pair of size 9 samples just became available from oregonsole on us store.
Chad Muska just saw his third Supra sig treated to a showering of ‘Reign’ and now the latest big name Crown brand signee follows suit with his first. The Supra S1W ’Reign’ continues Supra’s Air Jordan nods with an ‘Aqua’ colorup that draws some extra attention to the black trubuck upper. They’ve got a similar ‘blacklit’ feel to the debut S1W colorway but with a different blocking pattern to show off some new possibilities; which Stevie Williams signature looks best in your eyes? Let us know after you’ve had a chance to see these in detail below, then grab your pair today straight from Supra.
The Air Force 1 is enjoying an utterly spectacular 30th anniversary year, and here we have a new style that will arrive under the radar compared to some of the higher profile releases. This newest Nike Air Force 1 Low revelation isn’t one of the as yet unrevealed models teased at 21 Mercer’s AF1 installation, but the vaguely Air Max 95-ish mix of black, greys and white plus Volt accents ensures they’ll attract plenty of attention all the same. Click through how different degrees of graininess give these leathers a bit more depth and stick with Sneaker News to find out when they hit US retailers.
