If you remember from awhile back, Nike Japan released a little video spot regarding Cosplay (dressing up in costumes and acting) Nike iD. Apparently one of their characters has a blog. Yes that’s right, follow shy pink around as he checks out Nike AF1 events, gets leg-locked (see above), runs Marathon’s, goes to Stussy World Tour events, getting down and dirty at the disco all without breaking costume! If you failed to watch the Cosplay video the first time, check it after the jump!

However, the design aspect has just been bumped up through a new collaboration between Cole Haan and Nike co.lab. In the picture above, you can see two very visible air units in the heel and the forefoot, which is kinda neat.

Thanks to Milk Magazine, here’s a picture of the Nike SB Zoom Team Edition which is a tribute to the skate park called I.T. Park in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. During the 80’s and 90’s, I.T. Park was the spot where Hong Kong skaters would skate. The toe box which has a marble pattern is inspired by the marble pattern cement at I.T. park. We’re not sure if these will be Hong Kong exclusive but it will be released soon.
