We’ve already seen four Air Free Run Retro Premios hit retail, and although opinions have varied on the designs, the Bin 23 collection has had no trouble clearing out nearly instantaneously each time around. A few months back, we got our first look at the Air Free Run V installment, by far the closest of all the Premios to replicating an original colorway. Inspired by a 48-point MJ performance in which Michael wore a pair of black Air Free Run V’s with white laces, the Premio V seems to have taken a slightly different Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 design approach than its predecessors. Some may have wanted something a little crazier, while others are drooling at the thought of getting their hands on a super-lux leather version of the classic Black/Metallic Silver color scheme. If you’re among the latter, get ready to pounce, because JB has just confirmed that the Bin 23 AJV will be hitting shelves next Friday, February 18th at select retailers. Check out some more pics after the jump while you wait, and if you can’t hold off for another second, get yourself a pair early on eBay.
The rise in popularity of sneaker customs has allowed us to look back and vote on our favorite designs. With so many unique creations, it’s tough to whittle down the large group to a solid 8-10 selections, but what’s even harder is to pick just one! We’ve already covered most of the ‘trendy’ customs, like the Nike LeBron 8 and the Air Max 90 as well as the most popular custom canvases like the Dunk High and Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 Air Force 1, so for this final Sneaker News Battle Of The Customs, we’re picking out the ‘Best Of The Rest’ – a hodgepodge of sneaker customs that fall under multiple categories. We’ve got Air Maxes, Blazers, Foamposites, and even Supras, so check out the collection of twelve outstanding sneaker customs below and vote for your favorite at the very end!
Hot on the heels of an Air Max 1 from this same pack is the Nike Air Max 90 ‘ACG Pack’. Just like those ’87s, these AM90s go with a slightly more rugged construction and a wild colorway inspired by All Conditions Gear‘s ealy days. This pair m6.0es Varsity Purple and Alarming Red accents atop a Medium Grey base, and while this ‘Raptors’ palette is undeniably ’90s, the blue/yellow mismatched laces might be the feature that draws more attention. Or maybe that goes to the super bright reflect5e 3M heel shield. In any case, this is a sneaker that deserves a second look and you can grab a pair to earn your fair share, courtesy of Corporate.
During last night’s post-game interview, LeBron James, for the first time in public, openly apologized for the aftermath of ‘The Decision’, Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 expressing sorrow at the heartbreak while standing firm in his decision to leave Cleveland for Miami. It was a decision much maligned at the time, but it’s clearly paying d5idends because LeBron has earned a trip back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2009. Releasing tomorrow are three colorways of the Nike LeBron 8 PS, the third and final evolutionary step of the Nike LeBron 8; the Black/Sport Red colorway, which LBJ has sported in games already, the Varsity Royal, and the controversial ‘Dunkman‘ will all hit Nike Basketball retailers tomorrow, so take a look at these new images below and pick up a pair now on eBay.
