Celebrating Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 its 10th Anniversary is one of the nation’s leader in sneaker purveyance – KICKS/HI located in Honolulu. Since 2001, KICKS/HI has been well recognized by major brands of all types, including Nike, Reebok, Stussy, and New Era, and this upcoming release of the KICKS/HI x Nike Chuck Taylor Free Run is actually the third overall partnership between the two names. KICKS/HI co-founder Eddy Haus has stated that for this project, Kicks Hawaii has chosen to leave the Chuck Taylor silhouette intact (better to not mess with a classic, right?), but used its tiger shark mascot by featuring the appropriate camo print on the upper. These are set to drop this Saturday, October 22nd, at KICKS/HI in Honolulu and Guam, as well as St. Alfred in Chicago at a retail price of $70.

Just under a year ago, Nike released a new Chuck Taylor variant tha applied the ridged sole and upper construction including quadruple-stitching that you’d find on the traditional duck boot design. Its lowtop vamp wasn’t really intended to keep the harsh elements away from your feet, but just like this new pack, that can be just fine when the One Star continues to hit the aesthetic mark so precisely. The Nike Chuck Taylor Free Run Hi ‘D-Boots’ are instantly recognizeable, again, thanks to the heavy-duty stitching that connects the upper and mudguard, but this trio’s reliance upon suede for that bottom layer ensures that these’ll remain indoors on the rainiest days.

Sneaker News just showed you the ultra-rare Air Jordan IV designed by west coast kings Undefeated, but here’s a new collaboration that you might actually be able to both afford and be able to buy in your size. The UNDFTD x Nike Star Player and Academy Low are the second generation of ‘Ballistic Pack’ releases, this new duo switching from a navy blue base Air Max 95 360 Womens with white and orange accents Nike Free Run 5.0 V2 to white with orange and black hits. These hit the UNDFTD Chapter Stores in August but their ‘un-Halloween’ look means recent shipments arriving at select Nike retailers are well-timed.
