Japanese hip-hop group Nitro Microphone Underground hooked up with Nike and Stussy to release a Special Force Tour shirt. The front of the shirt features a picture of the group while the list of members is seen on the back. With Google translate letting me down, I think that somewhere in there it says that the front print is not visible depending on which angle you view the shirt. No word on availability but it may be a friends and family release.

With the crapload of exotic inspired materials making their way onto footwear these, days for the first time in what seems like forever Nike finally got it right with this upcoming Air Force 1 Supreme Max Air. The black leather and stingray upper includes a visible Max Air unit as well with just a slight bit of blue along the midsole. Dropping later this weekend in Japan, but check your local Nike dealer otherwise.

The Nike1Vote initiative has given the residents of Baltimore, Philadelphia and now New York a chance to voice their opinions on the greatest Air Force 1 of all time. Previous selections for Baltimore and Philadelphia had the Ueno Sakura and most recently the Mark Smith declared winners in each respective city. The winning shoe for each city will be re-released only in that city in mid-2008. Nike1Vote will wrap up in the mecca of Air Force 1’s, New York City with a vote taking place between January 2nd, 2008 and January 31st at the following locations, Jimmy Jazz, Transit, Brooklyn USA and Niketown NYC. A video involving DJ Clark Kent, Mayor, Hawaii Mike, DJ EMZ and Curtains documents how these big time AF1 fans of New York came to the top 25 which will be voted upon by the citizens of New York.

Here are the latest Nike Air Force Ones which include a collaboration with Nitro Microphone Underground, a hip hop group in Japan. The two models “Macka-Chin” and “Suiken” are named after the emcees from the group. These Air Force Ones feature premium materials and will only be available at certain stores.

The designers for this particular AF1 most likely busted their balls and after months of deliberation finally decided on this particular colorway of red/red/red. The upper is a combination of patent leather and croc leather. Ever since the release of an all red Emerica Reynolds 1 back in 2002 or so, we’ve had a great fixation for all red shoes but maybe even these are too red.

It’s been said time and time again, don’t mess with what most people feel is a good thing. Without a clear reason why Nike has chosen to mesh the Air Jordan series with that of its best selling shoe the Air Force, many people were left scratching their head. With the alleged termination of the Jordan signature post 2008 and a halt on the number of retro releases this may be the next best thing? Regardless, these Playoff colorway joints are probably among the more respected of the lot thus far. Haters of the AF1 mid’s probably will pass due to the obvious anatomical similarities.

Earlier this year at the Nike Air Force 1 25th Anniversary party in New York, guests were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite Air Force 1 of all-time. After the dust had settled, this Air Force 1 Hi designed by artist Stash came out on top as the crowd favorite. Each guest in attendance was gifted a re-released pair of this sneaker.

With a new Air Jordan Fusions concept on the horizon, this new hybrid series has drawn some mixed reviews as of late. Despite the fact many of these renditions may possess some decent ideas and executions, for some it’s the fact that the holy Air Jordan has been reinterpreted which may cause some confusion and disdain. This latest Fusion includes the classic Air Jordan V White/Fire Red colorway which incorporates some highlighting characteristics such as clear mesh, 3M tongue, lace toggles and clear sole. Look for a Spring 2008 release for these Fusions.

It’s undeniable the strong relationship the Nike Air Force 1 has shared with music and DJs in the past. As part of the continued festivities of the Nike Air Force 1 25th Anniversity, Rane joined forces to create the Air Force 1 and Scratch Live Package. This cross-branded project signifies the intersection of sports, music and innovation within hip-hop culture.
Much like the debut of the Air Force 1 in 1982, Rane’s Serato Scratch Live has produced a revolutionary product. DJs around the world can now avoid lugging around huge crates of vinyl in favor of a laptop, all while using vinyl control records on their turntables to control their digital music files.
Another integral part of the package is the inclusion of a special Head Porter custom-made DJ bag. The DJ bag allows for the transportation of a laptop, the Scratch Live units and accessories. The bag’s upper is constructed of white ballistic nylon with Nike markings and the sole of the AF1 on the bottom of the bag. This special package was created in limited numbers for leading DJs around the world.
