Since the first pairs dropped in mid 2011, Nike Sportswear has treated their entire History of Air running lineage as well as basketball cornerstones Air Force 1 and Dunk to the Hyperfuse treatment. Conspicuous by its absence in that capsule was the original Swoosh basketball sneaker, a design of which we’re reminded upon seeing the new Nike Free Run All Star Pro Fusion Mid. In truth closer to the Pro Leather or Chuck Taylor-descendant Star Player than the classic All Star, the CTAS Nike Free Run Shoes Pro Fusion reads like a Blazer High Hyperfuse thanks to the featherweight, super-breathable welded upper and the Nike Free Run Mens layered effects common to Fuse builds. Let us know which Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 of the first three colorways looks best after you’ve seen them all below, then grab yours from Nike retailers like Finish Line.
With Glow-in-the-dark being such a popular detail with basketball shoes, why not put it on one of the earliest hooping shoes ever made? The Nike Free Run now joins the fray as it introduces the iconic Chuck Taylor and both High and Low form with incredible glow-in-the-dark outsoles, toe-caps, and Star logos on the upper (applicable only to the High). We’ve already seen Nike go this route before, but has it been more trendy than it is now? Both are available right now at Nike (High or Low) so check out the images below and cop these simplistic kicks right now before they run out.
The latest in a long line of DC Comics-inspired Nike Free Run All Stars comes from Japan in the style of one of the earliest such collaborations. The DC Comics x Nike Japan U.S. Originator releases are among the designs currently posterboy’d by US-born Japanese TV personality Dave Spector. But the main stars of this show are Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, as a print reminiscent of the Keaton/Burton-era release joins other Batman and Superman imagery tiled upon the uppers of Chucks, Jack Purcells and Skidgrip slip-ons.
