The Nike Air Vintage Pack comprising of three classic silhouettes gets a release tomorrow. This is a Quick Strike release and features the Air Revolution in Tech Grey, the Air Trainer SC 2 in Lemon Yellow and the Air Trainer SC High, which for my money is the best looking in Auburn. The Air Revolution, with its black and grey, looks dignified and large.

Lots of perforated leather on each silhouette, they all feature white laces. Catch them posing for a group pic.

They only released one album back in 1998, but Black Star is still considered a classic hip hop group. The group, composed of Talib Kweli and Mos Def, was the inspiration behind the Nike Air Max 1 “Black Star” Custom by Dank Customs. The classic model is customized to feature a yellow, orange, red gradient color design on the upper. Green covers the toe box and tongue. Pronounced black coloring traces all of the seams, the Swoosh, and the sole. The ankle collar is painted with a yellow to green color pattern, and black laces finish the look. Other custom additions include a “Black Star” patch on the heels and portraits of Mos Def and Talib Kweli on the special made insoles. Finally, the same five point star design that was seen on the groups album cover graces the custom-made tongue decal on the Nike Air Max 1 Black Star Custom. Contact Jake Danklefs for all inquiries.

Vans hooks up with Alien Workshop to create this Chukka Pro collab. The Alien Workshop x Vans Chukka Pro utilizes AW’s seasonal Lake color to make up the upper, which sits on top of the timeless white Vans midsole and waffle outsole. Alien-like figurines that are spread across the shoe usher this duet into a world of its own.

With a matching apparel line to boot, this extraterrestrial Chukka is available today at Vans. Let us know if you’re going to beam a pair up in the comment section at the bottom of the page.

The “Black Floral” Nike SB Stefan Janoski comes across as a creative idea; the presentation of the floral print is nice and what renders it a little different from the rest is that it is in monochrome. When was the last time you saw a black and white floral print? These low tops on a white vulcanized sole feature waxed laces.

A good pair to have for the summer with a tonal Swoosh and a Nike Zoom Air inner sole. A woven tongue label tells you about the pedigree. Check out the images, these sit on a gum sole. Guaranteed fast sellers.

The Nike Air Max Hyperposite steadily gained steam among fans upon its release. As we learned form Kicks on Court, NBA players absolutely loved the shoe, including the Nike Air Max Hyperposite “Christmas” worn by Rajon Rondo during the Celtics’ December 25 showdown with the Brooklyn Nets. Mint green Foamposite material wraps the upper, and leaks up into the grey hyperfuse material. Bright crimson is also introduced in that grey space for a true Christmas feel. The vivid color covers the inner lining, as well. Reflective 3M material is present on the Swoosh branding and the Hyperfuse upper. Grey laces and an ice blue translucent sole provide a balanced finish. Though this version is a tiny bit different than the version Rondo wore, the Nike Air Max Hyperposite Christmas still a great looking shoe that is set to release at Nike Harajuku on Saturday, July 6.

We’ve all been there before. You know, the feeling you have when you pass up on a shoe – whether it be some years ago or just last week – that is supposed to be in your closet or on your feet at this very moment had you went with your first instinct to purchase. Now, that shoe is either going for five times as much as it was when you first saw it or is no longer in production. Your loss.

For our first installment of Kick Chronicles, the Nice Kicks staff relives and details those shoes we regret passing up on. Help us find these and share your own stories of passed on kicks!

Nike Dunk Low Pro SB “Heineken”

I remember seeing the “Heineken” Dunk at Fast Forward at the mall on clearance for under $30. I picked up the shoe and thought about how out of place Nike was in the skateboarding market. The colors were loud and the silhouette was much slimmer than many skate shoes at the time. Now, the shoe is upwards to $500+ and one of the most coveted Dunk Low SBs of all time. I found out several years later a local collector had scooped up all the pairs. I regret not picking up a pair. And for a steal at that.
