So far, we’ve seen a number of limited Nike Zoom KD IV releases, like the Nerf and Weatherman, but for those of us who would rather not camp out or stand in a long line, general releases are greatly appreciated. Luckily, Nike has plenty of those as well. One of the most recent releases is this Midnight Navy/Team Orange colorway. Midnight Navy has been used as the base while team orange accents and a white swoosh add a little flavor to the sneaker. You can You can get these now at Mr. R Sports.

Whenever I go on a road trip, I always make it a priority to visit each and every Nike Factory Store I come upon. You just never know what you’ll find. Since I buy the entire store, I thought I might as well start sharing my findings. On my first stop, I made it to the Nike outlet in Terrell, TX. While the selection wasn’t amazing, I did see a few good buys.
Next month the wait for the Jordan X Auto Clave finally ends. As you can see, the Auto Clave Xs are basically an updated, more casual version of the Air Jordan X. Here’s a few more pics of the Varsity Red/White pair thanks to Extrabutter. I’m not sure where the white is, but the entire upper has been covered in varsity red. If you’re looking for something a little more subtle, Black/Varsity Red pair is also planned to release at the same time.

It looks like Nike has a special after-Christmas gift planned for us. After we fork out the cash, that is. Here’s a first look at the Air Force 1 Low “The Gift”. Created at Nike’s 21 Mercer shop, this pair has received only the best quality materials, with an upper made up of mostly black wool, beautifully contrasted with metallic red on the swoosh and heel areas. Brown has been used on the heel tab and midsole. A graphic of a gift box has been placed at the rear. As with most of 21 Mercer’s designs, these will more than likely be released in very limited quantities. Stay tuned for more information.

With the Air Jordan XI Retro craze now at full steam, it should be no surprise that Jordan Brand has a few more XI releases planned. Here’s a first look at the Black/Varsity Red-White Air Jordan XI lows. As you can see, the tongue area has received a special gold graphic which showcases MJ’s rings. You may also notice that the laces aren’t quite as beefy as the usual fat laces we see on the XIs. Not much is known about these so far, but keep checking back for more. From DCC.
