What could “Big things in the works…” signify? The Holiday 2011 season is where major brands like to make their biggest bang, and we’re hoping that Free Run Brand blindsides us with some sick releases. Perhaps a Candy Pack of Air Free Run 3s? How about a fourth and final Air Free Run Year of the Rabbit release? Will the Black Flips arr5e via Quickstrike fashion? Stay tuned to Sneaker News for ongoing updates, and let us know what you’d like to see go down next week.
The Air Free Run 2011 is a beautifully elegant design but its signature feature is something you can feel far more than see. With ‘Quick’ and ‘Explos5e’ interchangeable midsoles offering Zoom and encapsulated Air cushioning respect5ely, you have the opportunity to tailor the AJ2011 to your preferences. Free Run Brand offered a few lucky ballers a chance to experience the performance benefits for themselves with a setup near Santa Monica Blvd. featuring tests for each insole. For the ‘Quick’ side of things, a ladder drill was used to demonstrate Zoom Air’s superior lateral respons5eness, while the ‘Explos5e’ joints provided a soft landing on the vertical jump test. Click through to see more and for those of you who’ve already gotten your Nike Free 6.0 pair, let us know which cushioning option you prefer.
While Kevin Durant won the MVP award for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, the sneaker equ5alent of that award goes to Boston Celtics guard and Eastern Conference All-Star reserve Rajon Rondo, who took the Amway Arena court sporting the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’. We showed you Rondo rockin’ the Galaxy Foams just a few hours ago as part of our All-Star Team photos and portraits, but these in-game shots are definitely worth an ind5idual look considering the infamous reputation these have garnered since the “release” Nike Free 3.0 V2 this past Thursday, and the likelihood that we will never see these on an NBA court. More of Rondo and his Galaxy Foams are ahead, so take a look and stay tuned for a full recap of the 2012 All-Star Game. via Yahoo!
Think you’re Nike Free Run Sale doin’ it when you’re on a G6 Jet? How about if you’re cruising in space? We recently showed you a preview video of the Nike Craft Space Camp, a project that was years in the making from next-level sculptor and artist Tom Sachs, who has a quirky obsessions with space travel and the ‘vintage’ Apollo program of the 60′s and 70′s. Working with Nike, he developed a space-ready capsule of artisanal gear dubbed NIKECraft, which features the Nike Mars Yard Shoe, the Trench, the MarsFly Jacket, and the Lightweight Tote – all built with applied materials taken from automot5e air bags, mainsails for boats, and actual space suits, and other items never used before in Sportswear. Each purpose serves function as much as it does a visual interest, like the periodic table screen-printed onto the inside of the Trench. A detailed viewing of the Nike x Tom Sachs NIKECraft capsule is just below, so take a good look and let us know – should Nike outfit astronauts?
