Nike Woven Footscape - 'Leopard'

Even though the Footscape model needs nothing extra to make it stand out from the crowd, Nike has decided to go ham and throw a full out leopard print on it this Spring...





The leopard print is done in horse hair (à la the classic Hideout Footscapes), and features a FreeMotion sole. Should be releasing in the next few weeks.


NEED!

Nike Footscape '3HC'

Nike is FINALLY dropping a couple Footscapes that don't have those horrid Flywire streaks running through them. Check out these new Air Footscape Woven Chukkas that are being dubbed 3HC...










Although Footscapes are generally regarded as a casual shoe, the sporty silhouette allows Nike to always fuck around and integrate their latest technologies, which is what makes the Footscape such a hit or miss shoe. These 3HC pairs are a total hit though. Using a simple yet über light neoprene upper, along with a Freemotion sole, these probably pack more comfort than the normal Footscape already does.

As always Footscapes are pretty hard to find outside of Japan so keep your eyes peeled for these to drop soon.

Nike Lunar Woven Chukka "Multi-check"

Nike is FINALLY putting out some new woven footwear, with these "Multi-check" Lunar (Footscape) Woven Chukkas...





This shoe is amazing. Recently I was leaning towards "Lunar Hyper-Ventilate" as my 1st Lunar purchase, but after seeing these, I have no more interest in those and their ugly Torch upper. Although the Woven aspect with add some ounces to the weight, the Lunar sole is still the most amazingly comfortable and light technology out. And if you haven't tried a pair on, please do yourself a favor!

Great shoe, but on a tangent I need to sit down and talk with someone about these names. The low version of this (with the OG sole) is called the "Air Woven", but the high version is called the "Air Woven Footscape Chukka", even though it looks nothing like a Footscape or Woven Footscape. And now the same exact shoe, except with a Lunar sole, has dropped the "Footscape" from the name. Not that it matters all too much, but I would love to understand it all.

NSW Livestrong Stages Footwear, Bringing Back the Classics

In a new strong effort towards the Livestrong campaign, Nike Sportswear (NSW) is releasing an entire collection of Livestrong themed apparel and footwear. In this collection, Nike has remixed a few of their most sought after shoes of all time into the black and yellow Livestrong colorways...

FLOM Dunk SB Hi by Futura.
(Arguably the most wanted sneaker out. Original release of only 24 pairs. The pattern features various currency from around the world, originally in their respective colors. FLOM = For Love Or Money)

Busy P Air Force 1
(Released not too long ago, the original sneaker hosts a rainbow of colors.)

Hideout Woven Footscape
(Originally an exclusive for Hideout in London, the shoe was white and grey based)

Mr. Cartoon Air Force 1
(The original sneaker was a custom by famous tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon, and was never actually released.)


I think that all of these look really great in the yellow and black, but for some reason the only must have for me is those Woven Footscapes. So damn nice. But the FLOMs look kinda great too.

While these are definitely the highlights of the Livestrong Stages collection, there are some more footwear and clothing that you can check out here.

Nike Woven Footscape "Microstripe"

In another Tier Zero for the Nike Woven Footscape, there is a new "Microstripe" colorway being released very soon.







The Woven Footscape features a seersucker microstripe pattern on the flat surfaces with the laces woven throughout the shoe as stitching holding it together.

These will be a Nike Tier Zero release this month.
