Nike Air Zoom Tiempo Berlin, Paris & San Francisco

Nike Air Zoom Tiempo

Nike

’s fixed gear bicycle shoe of choice has dropped in a number of colorways lately, with the first half of the eight-shoe city-inspired package releasing, and the more recent “Mellow Johnny’s” TZ. The last Air Zoom Tiempo we saw, designed by Artoo, is actually confirmed as the “Berlin” release, while these other two are the San Francisco and Paris designs.

The Paris design features a very simple all black make-up, with touches of reflective black material. For the San Francisco pair, designed by Massan, a dark cinder colorway is chosen for the uppers, with sole-matching gum contrast stitching throughout. An orange Swoosh and heel stitching finish off the colorway. The third pair, dedicated to Berlin, we saw a few days ago, though these pictures reveal even more of the multicolor stitching.

All three will release this Saturday, November 7th, alongside a re-release of the “Mellow Johnny’s” pair.

Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Away’

Nike Zoom Kobe V

The comment section was filled with both positive and negative remarks on the Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos” we showed you a couple of days ago. That is very understandable seeing that the chaotic color scheme it possesses does not suit everyone. However, check out the detailed photos of the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Away’ colorway.

Whether the Kobe V is an upgrade from the Kobe IV is for you to decide, yet, one cannot argue that this is definitely a highly-detailed basketball sneaker. It obviously possesses the well-recognized Lakers color scheme, but its texture makeup and design set this shoe apart from many. Its most distinctive feature lies on the side panels where a covered flywire design appears. It also owns a new, shiny, scale-like material throughout the midfoot and toe area. Other distinctive features include Kobe’s number 24 at the front of the sole and a mesh-like pattern located on the collar area. What are your thoughts on the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Away’?

24 Kilates x Reebok Pump

24 Kilates x Reebok Pump

Next up in the ever-growing list of Reebok Pump collaborations is this pair from Spanish shop 24 Kilates. At first glance it appears that the retailer’s design team did nothing at all to a pair of original black Pumps, but further investigation will show that this sneaker pays tribute while still moving forward with its design.

Rather than opt for black leather, the uppers are made with suede, keeping the look of the original in tact. Transparent material was used in places to show off the inner pump bubbles running throughout, creating a “window” into the inner-workings of the Pump system. According to Pol Fanlo, “24 KILATES’ main objective is to make an act of respect and admiration to a system that represented a revolution in the sneaker world. Respecting the original colours and showing the system to everyone to admire, a tribute with sense.”

Like the other collaborations we’ve seen, 31 individually-numbered pairs will be available on November 20th at the 24 Kilates store. That being said, what do you think of these collaborative sneakers? Head to the comments section and weigh in.

Nike Sportswear Challenger Vivid Pink/Black-Swan

Nike Sportswear Challenger

Recently, Nike Sportswear unleashed a three-set of the Challenger model in a vintage-like style. All three colorways can be classified as subtle and winter-ready. On the contrary, Nike Sportswear will release an anything-but-dull colorway of the Challenger during the spring of 2010.

This particular pair possesses a loud, head-turning vivid pink base comprised of suede (toe area, midfoot, heel panel) mesh (toe box) and nylon (side panels). In addition to the latter section mentioned, this Challenger also owns a black nylon swoosh. Check your nearest Nike Sportswear retailers during the spring of 2010 to purchase this Challenger.

Pete Wentz x Supra Vaider

Pete Wentz x Supra Vaider

The Fall Out Boy guitarist has been seen in Supras for some time now. We even saw him with an early pair of burgundy TK Societys not too long ago. And to celebrate his association and appreciation for the their brand, Supra has awarded Pete with the opportunity to collaborate on this Vaider.

A CCS exclusive, these are available now. The uppers on these are a black suede and given a similar treatment to the Wildlife Pack. White discoloration is intentional and appears throughout. The black laces match the tongue, which also uses red as an accent color, matching the heel panel and Supra logo. The sole is done in white with black stripes, as we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from the footwear maker.

Can you see yourself rocking these? Head to the comments section and weigh in.
