The Nike Pro Leather remains in the midst of a renaissance, the model having been selected for the collab and premium treatment quite a few times over the course of 2012. In 2013 the first special release the model will be outfitted with is this ‘Year Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 of the Snake’ look. You’ve seen the sneakers before thanks to our coverage, but on display for the first time here is the premium set up for the pair available out in China, complete with a clear acrylic sneaker box, a red satin dustbag, and extra laces. Hit the jump for Nike Free 3.0 V2 the full view and let us know what you think of the premium packaging on this Chinese New Year version of the Nike Pro Leather.
The New Year of kicks always starts off with a zodiac/Chinese New Year-inspired set of releases, and we’ve already seen Nike, adidas, and several others offer up some sick snake-inspired releases. Nike joins the fray Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 with a trio of Nike Free Runs in the form of two highs and one low; one low and high are tied together with a sick black leather/black snakeskin combo, while the other high comes with a tonal gold snake with studs on the heel for a truly luxurious appeal. A gallery of all three releases are right ahead so take a look and head to Nike to cop yours.
Previewed exclusively during the Missoni Fall/Winter 2013 runway show was this Nike Jack Purcell designed with the trademark Missoni zig-zag print. Using the classic Jack Purcell as the base, this Fall/Winter 2013 release features white and several tones of grey intertwined in the iconic print. The overall designed is inspired by the entire F/W ’13 collection and should release later this year.
