Rejoice!
The OG Nike Huarache runner will drop again in 2013 in original colorways. No Free sole...just wholesome, unadulterated Huarache-ness.
I'm going to throw a party now and figure out how I will pay for ten pairs of lime/royals...

Size You Up
Arguably my
favorite Air Max model, the Nike Air Max Light (shown here in a
Size?-exclusive colorway). Size? is a UK-based sneaker store.
The original version of this shoe was released in 1989 as a follow-up to the Air Max 1 (also knows as the Air Max 87). It was initially called the Air Max 2, but was later renamed to "Air Max Light" since their air unit was lighter than the AM1 (accomplished by an alternative construction process of the midsole).
With successful re-issues of the Nike Air Max 87, 90, 93, 95 and 97 by Nike Sportswear, it was only a matter of time before the Air Max Light would be retro'd.
Rumored to only 500 pairs worldwide, this Washington Redskins-esque colorway features a premium suede upper, white nylon mesh, rubber panels, leather swoosh and an EVA-foam mid sole with visible air unit.

Ying Yang?
I'll be shocked if Kobe wears these in a game.
This upcoming Kobe VII release is one pair....you are not looking at two different shoes.
I would dig these...
...if I was ten years younger...

Power On
I love Nike Frees, but I was getting kind of bored with the last few designs. The Nike Free Powerlines+ breathes some fresh air to the Free line, almost like a.5 model...
All the same great awesomeness of the Nike Free line, this time with an eccentric upper made of weaved lace loops for a dizzying yet cool look.
Some of the limited versions like the Atmos edition and the Gold Medal edition offer some really creative uses of the design. I love the GR colorway I just purchased; I'm eyeing this one too on FNL.
I usually wear my Frees without socks, but with the weather getting cooler I am making a change.
And if you are a Nike Plus user, these are compatible!

Fire!
The third installment of the adidas Derrick Rose series dropped today in a greyish "home" Bulls colorway (Rose hates white shoes, BTW) and black/red "away" Bulls colorway. But the real news is the announcement of a quickstrike colorway to hit adidas retail spots in NYC and Chicago only.
The neon "Chicago Fire" edition drops 10/10/12. In a bright "electricity" colorway, I'm not sure if this shoe celebrates adidas' sponsorship of the MLS Chicago Fire squad or is a shout out to the men & women of the CFD. A Chicago Fire Dept logo combined with D Roses' new logo can be found behind the left tongue.
Only 200 pairs will be released in Chicago and 200 in New York (not sure if its SLVR store or BA store.. Excuse my camera pics; better pics can be seen here on SC.
