Hawaiian boutique Aloha Rag is getting together with Nike to celebrate their 20th anniversary in style, commemorating that hallmark year with a special Jack Purcell Zipper Hi. We’ve seen a lot of great Jack Purcell’s as of late and this one is no exception, with a fabric upper that looks a lot like the recent Nike Jack Purcell LTT Ox Chambray Pack. The zipper beneath the cheap nikes for sale online laces combined with a metal stud on the back give these a rebellious feel to contrast with the otherwise refined look of the sneaker. Also of note are the sweet red, white, and blue laces, continuing the American theme we’ve seen recently nike free run 3.0 from Nike. Hit the jump to look at the video preview of the Aloha Rag x Nike Jack Purcell Zipper Hi.
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A. No, that’s not some kind of strange marching order, but rather a slice of videogame history. The ‘Konami Code’ was introduced in 1986 as a way for dedicated gamers to get an edge in legendary titles like the OG Contra, and while it’s not directly tied to the Super Mario series, the recognition of that pattern can fairly accurately determine if someone was around during the rise of Nintendo’s franchise character. It was all the way back in ’85 that the Big N dropped the Nintendo Entertainment System in the US along with that legendary Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt ‘collabo’, and the graphics on these new Nike Chuck Taylor All Star Double Uppers are taken directly from Sigeru Miyamoto’s first undisputed masterpiece.

Should we consider this latest preview as some additional light shed on that mysterious preview Undefeated issued back in May? It’s been nearly two months since UNDFTD showed a macro shot of a tumbled leather and ballistic nylon design that judging by the pictures above, very well could be the Undefeated x Nike One Star Academy. This blue/black model is a lowtop where the others appeared to be a mid/high, but their use of nylon eye-plackets is similar, as is the nike cheap sale application of a super-premium deerskin leather on the upper.
