words_Brandon Richard Earlier this year, we received news of the retirement of Ken Griffey Jr. Griffey was one of the best and most influential athletes of his day, and the continued success and popularity of his signature Nike footwear line only reinforces that belief. 2010 has been a big shoe year for Junior, with several of his models being retroed, plus the release of his commemorative Trainer 1.2 . Today, one of the popular colorways of the Air Griffey Max I is back and ready for purchase. The “Hot Red” Griffey Max I features an anthracite and black synthetic upper, with hot red accents on the front lace loop, tongue and heel pull-tabs, and Swoosh branding on the strap and heel. The midsole is white, and houses a hot red visible Air Unit. All three colors come together to complete the look on the outsole. You can pick up the “Hot Red” Griffey Max I at retailers like Sixth Boro or Eastbay . Color: Anthracite/Black-Hot Red-White Style: 354912-002 Price: $140.00 via The Sixth Boro

words_Brandon Richard By now, you’ve probably heard about (and hopefully received) the Nike Trainer 1.2s honoring EA Sports’ two 2011 football video games. The NCAA ’11 pair that salutes Tim Tebow and his now infamous “Promise” speech sold out in record time at NikeStore. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints were given a subtle shout out on the Madden ’11 pair , which saw an unexpected release at Eastbay earlier in the month. You can also expect to see that Trainer available at NikeStore on Friday. For those of you who have received either or both of these trainers,  you know that they came packaged in the standard orange Nike box. However, a special set of boxes was created for family and friends. The boxes are pulled from the video game covers, and feature the likenesses of Drew Brees and Tim Tebow. Chances to get your hands on the special boxes are slim, but don’t be shocked if they turn up on eBay in the future. In the meantime, take a look at some photos below. via Freshness

Nike continues to collaborate with many different entities within the sneaker community. That said, the ATF Crew (DJ Clark Kent, All Day, MAYOR, DJ Greg Street) seems to be next on this list of collaborators with Nike. Recently, Mayor revealed a preview photo of the ATF Crew’s work with Nike on what seems to be an Air Force 1 via Twitter . From what we can see so far, this shoe features the Nike logo on the tongue and the ATF acronyms below it. Mayor simply called this a ‘MOVIE!!’ on Twitter; therefore, we can only hope this ‘film’ is as good as the preview portrays! Stay tuned for more updates regarding this sneaker. © George Kiel III for NiceKicks.com , 2010. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Nike

Check out this cool and very chic sneakers. It comes with its hot pink color accent color on a black color snakers.

Since this is the 20th anniversary of the ‘Pump’, we have seen a plethora of them lately including the Pump Court Victory 2 Pack , Bodega x Reebok Pump “Outback” , Solebox x Reebok Pump and the Colette x Reebok Pump .

The shoelaces are also done up in army green. To finish it off, this Omni Pump is complimented with a white midsole and a black and red outsole. Click here to view additional photos.

Amsterdam’s Patta partnered with Nike on this pair of Air Max 1s to celebrate their fifth anniversary, rumored to release sometime in November. This obviously isn’t Patta’s first time around the block with a collaboration , but having seen an 1 of 3 Air Max 1 surface on eBay months ago, we have a scale by which to compare this most recent design. At first glance, they appear to be a simple white, forest and grey colorway, but the mix of materials sets this one apart. White mesh is used on the toe, along the laces and the heel panels, while a little bit of grey canvas stretches across the top of the toe and heel cap. That same grey hue is used on the upper-most portions of the mid-panel, as well. The splash guard and Swoosh both use a Chlorophyll green woven material, which is a darker shade than the green used in the “Chlorophyll” colorway we’ve seen from Nike before. As noted above, this Nike was done up to commemorate Patta’s 5 year anniversary, as noted by the “2004″ on the insole. Daily Drop has the info on how to get these on Pre-Order. Having seen the sample before, which Patta Air Max is your favorite? Read the rest of Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Premium © Alex Kroviak for NiceKicks.com , 2009.

Lately, we have spotted Puma releasing the Suede in a couple of different shapes and designs including the “Classic” Pack and the Suede Mid V Lineup . However, Puma now steps away from the Suede and focuses its attention back on the infamous Clyde model. One pair features a 100% flint stone-colored base, while the remaining pair in colored in snorkel blue. Other simply-designed features include a white sole and inner lining, a gold Puma Clyde logo on the side panel and a black and green Puma tag tongue logo.

Last year, the Nike “Hot Lava” Air Tech Challenge II Retro re-introduced to many fans, the signature Challenge Court line worn by tennis superstar, Andre Agassi, featuring the now legendary splatter print. The Nike Store recently added the Challenge Court Varsity Jacket , a slick letterman jacket featuring the signature splatter print on the front, the “86″ on the sleeve for the year the ATCII dropped, and the OG Challenge Court logo applique on the back. While the jacket is pricey at $450, its an amazing piece for all the Agassi fans who are still holding out for the splatter print tennis polos. Add in some stonewashed tapered jeans and a mullet, and you’re set. Check out more pics of the jacket after the jump.
