While it’s not quite here yet, 2009 is setting up to be a banner year for sneaker releases. Nike is giving sneak previews of their upcoming designs and this Terminator Hybrid looks very promising. To be released as part of their spring/summer collection, here are two cool colorways.

The first features a hot pink on black look. Although most of the shoe is dark, the pink accents really add some spice. The other colorway is a camouflage look that is made of dark greens and grays. An interest facet of both is the imprinted Nike swoosh. These shoes are a great combination of the Nike Terminator model and elements from the Nike ACG collection. ViaHigh Snobiety.

These shoes port a black nubuck / patent leather upper with cat graphics along the heel area. The berry accenting can be seen on the Nike swoosh, heel tab, stitching, and Nike Air logo. The most interesting feature is actually one that cannot always be seen, as these glow in the dark

here.

This Nike ACG Urban Night Pack will be released later in September. Atmos will release this Pack on Oct. 4 but the pre-sales will begin on Sept. 25.

This Pack consists of the Terra Humara, Air Revaderchi, and Air Wildwood. This Pack uses the common color schemes of black/ purple/ pink/ blue. Each model in this Pack uses a different set of premium materials. One common feature is that the models all use the splattered pattern somewhere on the shoe.

Let’s look at the Terra Humara. This shoe is enveloped in a frame of light blue leather. The pink shoe lace brightens up the more sober colors of blue and black on the upper. The midsole at the heel has three small windows or buttons and they are a nice accent.

The Revaderchi has pink and black as its predominant colors. The Wildwood is different in that it strives to have a balanced mixture of all the colors on the shoe. This Wildwood is the most colorful in the Pack.

There are two jackets to coordinate with the sneakers. One is black with a splattered pattern at different areas of the jacket. The other jacket is light blue with splattered dots of white.

Sole Brother Customs has always been good at turning a client’s hobbies and past times into interesting custom sneakers. Sole Brother turned a pair of Adidas Stan Smith 2s into an homage to paintballing for one of his patrons. These photos were found on the Sole Brother Customs website linked here.

The designer started with some orange and yellow paint spots to show the messy results of a day’s worth of paintballing. The paint marks may be placed haphazardly on the heel and middle panel but Sole Brother shaped each spot to show the shooter’s angle. This attention to detail is extended to the cartoon version of the patron pictured on the outside of the left shoe. This cartoon paintballer is seen firing off a series of orange pellets with a look of total glee on his face.

Sole Brother finished off these customs with some lettering including the initials “BJ” and the word “Smikles” based on the customer’s request. These shoes were a birthday gift for the patron and I am sure that he was pleased with the results. I hope that he doesn’t take the “Paintballers” out to the paintball range; these shoes are best served on the streets away from splattered paint.

Nike fans in 2008 have loved the Hyperdunk so far. Now to add even more to this line of shoe comes four more colorways. With these additional releases, you should be able to find a scheme that fits you no matter how you like to dress.

The four colorways each use their own distinctive colors – Neutral Grey, University Blue, Varsity Purple and Orange Blaze. The secondary colors on these kicks are white and metallic silver.
