The second installment of NORT’s Advertised Attitude just dropped. Firstly, it covered the reissue of the Nike Air 180. This time it features the recently retroed Nike Air Zoom Spiridion.

Even though the colors are not as outstanding as the other shoes in the Clerks pack, these are still definitely a nice sneaker.
Nike seems more and more determined to be considered highly in the ‘extreme’ sports department. This comes from not only the Nike SB range but also from the Nike Zoom Mobi-one under the Nike Mobility 6.0 series. Created specially for BMX riders, it combines all the performance needs needed for bmxer’s and the aesthetic qualities to be worn casually. Check Kix-Files forum for additional pictures and information.
