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.

When it comes to Nike collaborations, John Varvatos is indeed a star player, but that doesn’t mean all of his releases should come on the silhouette with that name. In fact, if there were a One Star silo Varvatos is most strongly associated with, it’d have to be the Nike Chuck Taylor Free Run hightop he’s done in so many different variations. This latest is done in the same snakeskin leather we saw on a pair of Star Player EVs last week, the higher cut only serving to make them more eye-catching. You’ll see more images after the jump and then look for yours at the Nike e-store.

Blue and white editions join new Trapasso Ox and CTS Ox lowtops in grey suedes, while a black CTS LS Ox shows off a slight variation on the immortal Chuck Taylor lowtop’s lines.

We already know that President Obama is on board with the Jumpman, but does the First Lady rock heat as well?
