Nike Sportswear Terminator Low Basic ND

Nike is going to take both the Blazer and the Terminator and stylishly force feed you until you think both of the shoes are cool. You know what? It’s working. We’ve seen multiple colorways of each on the ‘net in the past few weeks, and this simple black/white with a flash of Volt is gonna do the trick for us this Spring.

Look for these Nike Sportswear Terminator Low Basic ND low top bangers on April 1st at Nike retailers as well as the brand’s flagship go to, 21 Mercer in NYC. A $70 price tag makes these a spring-able cop for pretty much everyone, so happy hunting. Hit the jump for detail images.

Just saw these murdered out Air Max Flywire 90s over at Complex in an interview with Jesse Leyva about the hybrid 90s. We hear the black/black AM90s are a spring drop, but that could be just those Chinese whispers in the wind…

Nike Air Trainer III LE (Light Charcoal/Volt)

Nike always seems to hit hard, so we’re not going to try making projections as far as “what they’re doing for spring.” What we can tell you though, is that this Air Trainer III LE will be part of a pack dropping in early April for $110 at the 21 Mercer Flagship in NY, nikesportswear.com, and other Quickstrike accounts across the U.S.

Volt is the colorway first seen on the Lunar Racers from last summer. Bo knows ballistics, and those neon hits are going to light up your life. Hit the jump for detail shots of these Springtime bangers, and check back here in a month or so for the rest of the pack when it gets a little closer to drop time.

Nike Sportswear GTS ‘09 Canvas

The swoosh is king here in sneaker land, and the daily influx of $100+ kicks can be daunting. Not that you’re going to buy every pair, but sometimes its nice to see a pair of sneakers that you can cop with the money you save on taking a night off at the bar or by downgrading your restaurant choice on a date with your girl.

These Nike Sportswear GTS ‘09 Canvas are a perfect spring sneaker, and they come in at the perfect price: $55! How sick is that? I can feel these on my feet and the warmth of Spring already. Well, not really, it’s actually brick ass cold outside, but I just cued up a beach screensaver on the ‘ol MacBook. Hit the jump for detail shots of these bangers, and check nikesportswear.com for retailers if you want to cop them. These just hit stores, so full size runs should be in stock this weekend.

Nike Air Zoom Tallac Lite ACG

This year (2009) celebrates the 20th year of Nike’s ACG (All Conditions Gear) category, and some classic Nike silos are getting the ACG treatment. But that’s not all, folks! We’re going to be seeing the re-release of some of the all time ACG bangers from the Nike Sportswear camp, including this O.G. colorway of the Nike Air Zoom Tallac Lite, which dropped last Satruday at the Nike flagship, 21 Mercer, in NYC.

It’s gonna take some fashion sense and some balls to pull these off, but if you’re stomping around in the cold these days, especially in brick-ass NYC at tonight’s Red Bull Snowboard contest, these are the ticket. Cop now for $112, and stomp your way through any amount of snow, sleet, hail, and hooker spit that might cross your path on your way to the East River (they’re insulated and waterproof!). Check the jump for detail shots, and the Nike Sportswear site for additional retail locations.

Nike Air Force II High Black/Yellow

The Air Force II never caught on the way its predecessor did, leaving many footwear designers scratching their heads. Why, though? Is it because it’s impossible to improve upon perfection? Excuse us while we throw up, we lack the gene for sneaker nostalgia.

Ha, kidding. Air Force 1s are great, and Nike Air Force II silhouettes come in interesting colorups from time to time, making the shoe cop-worthy. Especially now that high-tops are cool and that the Sporstwear division of the swoosh is taking this silo into its own hands. Check this Wu-Tang-colored Air Force II Hi which just hit boutiques around the US, including the Nike Sportswear flagship 21 Mercer in NYC for $82. Head over to nikesportswear for more info, or check th jump for detail shots of the shoes.

So this dude The Mayor (oye on the rap nicknames) just got in his Bespoke Studio Air Force 1s. You might remember hearing about his 1000th pair that Nike did for him as kind of a thank you for blowing well over 10 grand on the brand’s simplest shoe in the portfolio (after the Cortez).

Nike Sportwear Bespoke, for those of you not quite caught up yet, is the Nike iD studio on steroids located in the Nike Sportswear flagship store in NYC at 21 Mercer Street. The Bespoke Studio allows users to customize 31 different parts of the shoe, in a variety of luxury fabrics and threads, and while right now you can only do AF1s in NYC, the program will likely roll out to other silhouettes and cities. It’s not cheap, with the price for a session at the Bespoke Studio and the sneakers clocking in at a cool $800. Recession pricing? Yeah right.

So we’ve been wondering what the Bespoke Nikes actually came out like. The sample images we’ve seen have been impressive, but these photos by The Mayor, hosted on Sneaker News, are the first pair that we’ve seen that someone has actually done. The detailing is really sick, and if we were into Air Force 1s and had money to burn we’d be lining up for this service. If that sounds like you, hit the jump for the detail shots. What do you think? Worth 8 bills?
