Boxing fans have been clamoring for a PacMan vs. Pretty Boy fight for several years now, but if a fight were to go down, would the mounting hype lead to an inevitable disappointment in the ring? It would certainly go down as one of the most anticipated fights in history, but clearly the two top-level fighters are flying one...

Nike Trainers have come a long way from the mid-cut forefoot-strapped Air Trainer 1 to the modern-day Free or Air Max-soled renditions we see today. Combining state-of-the-art design and function with one of the most historic Air Trainers of all-time is this sick one-of-one sample of the Nike Air Max TR1 360 designed after Bo...

What happens when you take one of 1987′s standouts, apply almost the exact same motif that made another of that year’s graduating class an instant classic and release them on the twenty-fifth anniversary?  One answer is “an instant sell-out”, and another is this new Nike Air Trainer 1 done up to...

June is poised to be one of the greatest months of the year for sneaker releases with a set-list consisting of the Nike LeBron 9 ‘Miami Vice’, the Air Jordan XII ‘Obsidian’, and the yet-t0-be-postponed Air Yeezy 2, but give some credit to the Air Safari Pack, which is set for a release very soon. Part...

Warm weather in spring and summer is ideal for training, both for the sunny season sports and those you’ll be playing come wintertime. And with all that activity, it’s essential to pay just as much attention to proper rest and recovery as your diet and exercise form. Jordan Brand hopes to help with the former...

Over the last couple of years, the world of boxing news has been dominated by fight that hasn’t happened – and one that might never go down. Although a PacMan vs. Pretty Boy Floyd would go down as one of the most hyped bouts in the history of the sport, the two superstars seem to be content with throwing verbals...

If you’re in need of a replenishment of Manny Pacquiao gear, look no further than May 19th, when the Nike Air Trainer 1.3 Max releases in Manny-specific colors and logos. Much like the previous Air Trainer 1.3 Max Breathe that hit stores last October, this PacMan Trainer features a color-combo representative of...

After a burst befitting the flurry of activity in spring training leading up to Major League Baseball’s Opening Day, the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury has slowed its pace in April and moving into this month. Fans of one of the smoothest swings in the history of America’s pastime won’t have to wait much longer,...

It’s been nearly a decade since Nike last gave us the Air Trainer SC in a lowtop form, and given the response that model and its sequel enjoyed over the past few years, this newer introduction is all but guaranteed a strong following. The Nike Air Trainer Classic gives us a bit of that classic...

It all started on a couch in New York City.  That’s where Tinker Hatfield first saw the luxurious ostrich leather that inspired him to create Safari print, one of the more enduring aesthetic contributions from his epic 1987 ‘Air Pack’.  2012 marks that fab five’s 25th anniversary and it looks like...

Quite the select group of classic Nike Airs will celebrate a quarter century’s worth of existence this year, and in this upcoming release, you’ll see two of them come together as one. Here’s a look at the Nike Air Trainer 1 ‘Safari’, which combines the Nike Air Trainer 1 in the historic Air Safari...

Give Tinker Hatfield a pen and paper and he’ll draw up a sick prototype of a sneaker. Of course, we’re at an age where pen and paper have taken a backseat to more high-tech devices, but the idea is the same; when we first showed you the debut of the Nike Zoom Vapor Tour 9, we noted that Tinker designed ‘em...

If Wale ever sits down and sifts through his entire sneaker collection, there’s a good shot that a good chunk of ‘em falls under the ‘Trainer’ category. There’s no doubt that dude was beaming when he heard that some of his favorite 90′s-era Trainers like the Varsity Red ’49ers’...

The Reebok Workout is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012, and back in February, we were treated to fifteen different collaborative themes that prove this classic trainer still has plenty of mileage left on its distinctly mid-’80s soles.  Japan’s mita sneakers was among the contributors to this large capsule,...

We told you a couple of months back that this late 90′s trainer was on its way to a retro release beginning this summer, and as it turns out now the treatment will continue well into the end of 2012 with the stealthy colorway shown here. Previously known as the Nike Total Air Pillar, the moniker has been tweaked a bit...

After the 2011 release of the Nike Air Trainer SC II High, one would’ve guessed a return of the third installment of the Air Trainer series (not originally dubbed the Air Trainer III, but later appointed that number in later Retro releases to avoid confusion). However, Trainer fans won’t be left forgotten, as we...

Almost two weeks ago, Sneaker News gave you a first look at the upcoming Speed Yellow colorway of the Nike Air Max Express, brought to the world out of Gentry Humphrey’s personal vault of select sneakers. We must point out yet another interesting discrepancy; this sample you see here features a solid black outsole, while...

Even in today’s era of smarter shoe-shoppers who have become keen with genuine products, counterfeits continue to be a thorn on the side of the ‘game’. One popular model that these fake-mongers have produced in hives is the faux-360 Max Air hybrids. Fake Air Jordans, Kobes, LeBrons, and Yeezys have been made...

As we move past 2012 into ’13, ’14 and ’15, we’ll be firmly in the mid-teens. Here’s a new forward-looking design from Nike Training that manages to blend design cues from each of the past two decades’ midsections into a shoe that will most definitely turn heads at your yoga class. The Nike...

Is this a possible Air Force 1 High of the future?

1987 could be considered to be the greatest year for Nike in its history – with much of the credit going to Tinker Hatfield’s ‘Air’ Pack. One of the original five is the Air Trainer 1, which will also celebrate its 25th Anniversary this year by returning in the original Chlorophyll colorway that Jon...

With its recent ‘Cool Grey’ drop one of the sleeper retro hits of the spring season, now’s a great time for a new Nike Air Diamond Turf II to hit retailers. This one’s for young ladies with a spin on the OG black/Metallic Gold style that opts for pink accents instead of the traditional San Francisco...

It’s a momentum that came to a head with the Air Jordan XI Retro ‘Concord’ release last Christmas and has maintained quite a bit of strength through releases like the ‘Tinker Hatfield’ Air Jordan 2012 Deluxe, and now another black/white design emerges from a brand that helped to make this simple...

Anyone paying attention to the most minute of details in the Nike Free line has no doubt noticed it by now, that tiny 5.0 etched on the midsole of the most recent crop of runners signifying a new mold for the flexible line. Among said crop is a solid cross-training offering in the form of the Nike Free Trainer 5.0 V3 shown...

When Gentry Humphrey joined Twitter, he promised to throw up some goodies. Here’s a first look at the upcoming Nike Air Max Express in the Speed Yellow/Black-White colorway that Sneaker News first reported back in December; it features the racy Speed Yellow on the Hyperfuse upper with Black on the mid-foot strap and...

Fusing strap-friend substantial Trainers from the 90′s with today’s standards of footwear construction results in the Nike Air Max Express – a Hyperfuse-uppered training shoe inspired by some of the most memorable Nikes to bear the name ‘Turf’.

Much like the Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’ in our March Madness Non-OG Air Jordan Tournament, this near tonal-red Air Diamond Turf II is shaping up to be an absolute classic. Here we have another look at the April 6th Nike Retro release in an ‘on-foot’ visual; just like how it was rocked back in the day,...

One of the most memorable Turf Trainer releases ever...

Yes, he’s back, and it only took him two games to reclaim his rightful position as the sneaker king of the NBA. After being picked up by the Memphis Grizzlies, Gilbert Arenas whipped out some sexy sneakers – the unreleased Nike Zoom Huarache TR Mid ‘Playstation’ that was part of the ‘Playstation...

The Alien Stomper is one of those sneakers that’s been out for longer than some sneakerheads have been alive, yet still manages a futuristic vibe even to this day.  Accordingly, they’re more popular in the progressive Japanese fashion scene than here in the States, and that’s a fact that’ll leave...
