The Nike Air Bakin will always remain a cult favorite among sneakerheads, and Nike always makes sure to give us a fresh new colorway every now and then. Last year, a special Foamposite Boot version of the Bakin was released, and this time, they’ve given the Bakin a Ripstop upper, done in black and blue. Red accents and stitching add a little more color. There’s no release date for these yet, but stayed tuned.
The classic Nike Cortez has made somewhat of a comeback this year with its nylon releases, and now here’s one more to the collection, this time for the ladies.

GREAT SCOTT! Today at a very special event hosted by legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, Nike finally announced that the Nike Air Mag 2015 sneakers. Many of you (including myself) have been waiting the majority of your life to see this day come true after seeing Marty McFly sport a pair in Back to the Future II. Of course, don’t expect any auto-laces, but judging from the pics, this pair should be well worth the 26 years we’ve been waiting. Scroll down to see the video and pics of the Doc Brown glasses given out at the event. From Highsnobiety.
This year, Nike SB gave us a mid-cut, leather-covered Dunk inspired by the infamous Diamond Supply Co.-designed Tiffany SB Dunk Lows. For 2012 they’re doing it again, but this time, they’ve decided to go low top. Starting with a black suede base, the toe box and swoosh have been covered with aqua leather, and aqua laces to match. The commonly-used white midsole has been mated to an aqua outsole. This is definitely my favorite Tiffany inspired Dunk from Nike so far, but of course nothing beats the original. Hopefully Nike SB will bring them back one day. Expect to see the Un-Tiffany Lows in your local skateshop in summer 2012.

Very reminiscent of the Black/Olive IXs, this pair has received a beautiful soft leather upper, done in a two-tone black and chocolate color scheme. Also notice that leather laces have been used, and MJ’s number has been laser-etched onto the heel. While most sneakerheads were quite pleased with the white/gold version, very few would have been disappointed if these went into production instead. Pics from Stickie213 and ISS.
