After numerous drops in the earlier part of 2011, we’ve not seen as much from Nike Skateboarding in recent months. But there’s no better way to resolve a drought than with a bunch of dope new releases, which is exactly how CONS is blessing the sneakerhead community this month. The designs range from a classy tonal Brown Nike Sea Star to a wild Trapasso Ox with tie-dye side panels on an otherwise black suede design. Have a look at those plus a grey suede Star Player Lite after the jump and look for all of these at select Nike Skate retailers like Premier.
Nike has been able to garner significant mainstream attention by collaborating with high-end fashion names ranging from Missoni to Sak, their latest bringing in Scandanavia once again to ensure the One Star remains truly a global fashion icon. The Marimekko x Nike collection for holiday 2011 is the last set from a year filled with the Finnish label’s Air Max 2012 Men Shoes signature prints and will feature classics along with some we’ve never seen before, spread across two different Chuck Taylor silos plus the Air Max Purcell Helen. Click through to get a look at what’s in store, and expect these at select Nike retailers this month.
Madden takes the cake when it comes to sales, but for quite a few years running now, the NBA 2K franchise has been praised by gamers and critics alike as topping the charts with respect to pure gameplay. The game continues to Nike Air Max Mens look better every single year Nike Free Run Mens too, and a recent big aesthetic boost came with the introduction of the entire Air Jordan Legacy for last year’s Michael Jordan-heavy release. NBA 2K12 arguably makes an even bigger leap this time around with the inclusion of a huge array of kicks from Jordan, adidas, Nike, Reebok and Nike. The array is extensive in both breadth and chronology, with a great example demonstrated by the Nike LeBron series. You can pick from all of LeBron’s signatures plus the Soldier series, the new PS and V/2 lines, even the 20-5-5! All of this selection wrapped in a Foot Locker-branded package makes us very excited about this title, fellow sneakerheads, and it opens up a tantalizing range of possibilities for future games. You can see a video running through a selection of the variety after the jump; are there any notable omissions you’d want to see added, perhaps via DLC?
