The Nike Originals x Star Wars collection took a turn toward Space Balls with their promo materials for the fall season, key selections depicting Darth Vader as a crossing guard, Han Solo at the corner laundry and a wampa mowing someone’s front lawn.  It served as a reminder that these characters and a variety of details from George Lucas Saga have transcended their art form and become part of our cultural lexicon, just as the Star Wars x Nike Originals Skywalker ‘Hoth’ g5es us a new perspect5e on the Decade Hi and the film series’ hero.  They’re based on Luke’s uniform on the planet Hoth and have just become available at Three Stripes retailers like End.

Jay-Z isn’t the only one stuntin’ with his kicks at SXSW 2012: Lil’ Wayne recently took the stage at SXSW wearing the Air Free Run Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 X2 ‘Playoffs’ – a far cry from the psychedelic selections of Jeremy Scott x Nike Originals that we’ve come to familiarize with Wayne. Matching the simple White/Black/Red colorway of the Playoffs, Lil’ Wayne sported a pair of white shorts and an aptly colored hat, with the YMCMB logo shining brightly behind him.

The Boston Celtics very well might have lost their shot at a second NBA title in three years because of too much isolation in the later stages of Game 7, but don’t tell Free Run Brand that ‘team’ and ‘iso’ play can’t be the same style.  The Air Free Run Team Iso is a curiously named sneaker whose high end design makes you wonder what the next Air Free Run Franchise model will look like.  It also g5es us a sneak peek into this year’s special Quai 54 colorup, which will apparently be a simple m6.0 of black and Varsity Maize with a little white thrown in for good measure.  Take a look at more angles after the Nike Free Run 3 jump and let us know if the Quai 54 Team Iso has you excited for a stateside release.  via Kinetics

During Sneaker News’ interview with Carmelo Anthony, one of the burning questions that was asked was regarding a possible blue and orange colorway of the Free Run Melo M7. Of course, that was an underlying query about Melo’s desire to play in New York, a prophecy that has since been fulfilled. Another question that was asked was regarding additional colorways aside from the one’s we already knew about, and outside of the Red/White All-Star Game PE, Melo mentioned there was no other Melo M7 rendition he was aware of. He should’ve remembered the Knicks’ annual tradition of wearing green uniforms on St. Patrick’s Day, because this Thursday, Carmelo will Nike Free Run 3.0 be wearing the Free Run Melo M7 St. Patrick’s Day PE. It features rich tonal green upper with a contrasting white trim and orange laces and visible Air for a staggering visual effect. Check out the extra images below and watch for Free Run Brand athlete Carmelo Anthony to wear these babies tomorrow, when the Knicks host the Memphis Grizzlies!
