The Stages 09 exhibition, a collaborative effort between Nike Sportswear and Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong foundation, will open for the last time its doors in Miami next month, during Art Basel Miami. After previously being shown in Paris and New York, the impressive list of artists that worked on special pieces for the show is back one more time. Check out here above an interview with two of our favorite artists from the show – Kenny Scharf and Kaws. Enjoy!

Once again Undefeated worked with Nike as part of the Livestrong initiative. This time they chose the Air Force 1. They added their shemagh pattern to the upper crossing over the signature Livestrong yellow towards the back of the sneaker. The Swoosh comes in black on the outside and Livestrong yellow on the inside. Furthermore the sneaker features a complete leather lining, as well as a leather covered mid-sole. Look out for a released at Qubic on Friday, November 13th.

The final Air Zoom Tiempos from the the Nike Sportswear LIVESTRONG Collection will see their release at Nike Sportswear retailers on November 7th. Developed in conjunction with eight globally-based riders, known as THE CTRS, each color represents a different rider and their respective city.

The three remaining contenders consist of Massan from San Fransisco, Yorgo Tloupas representing Paris and Berlin’s Henrik Kuerschner. Paris takes on subtlety with reflective black on black, the Berlin design adds some detailed colored stitches on white (previously seen here), while the San Francisco version goes with dark cinder highlighted by stitches and Swoosh in orange.

After Paris, the STAGES exhibition, a joint effort by Nike Sportswear and Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong foundation, has opened its doors in New York this week. Once again artists including Tom Sachs, Jose Parla, Kenny Scharf, Shepard Fairey, Kaws, JR, Richard Prince, Andreas Gursky and other art heavy hitters, were represented with custom works in the exhibition.

Take a tour of the STAGES New York exhibition, which takes place at Deitch Projects, after the jump.

As a companion space to the STAGES show, WNW is a pop-up installation within New York City cycling institution Trackstar. Named for a personal motto of Lance Armstrong’s, WNW will be open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays every week from October 22 to November 22.

WNW is all dedicated to cycling and art in New York. It’s a place for the community to get a sense of what LIVESTRONG and the Lance Armstrong Foundation are about and to connect with people who are stoked on cycling and art.

Hopefully we can soon show you some images of the space!

Nike’s design team worked with Lance Armstrong to create a Zoom Tiempo inspired by Lance’s hometown, Austin Texas. The Air Zoom Tiempo draws inspiration directly from the cyclists of Austin and one of the city’s most iconic cycling stores in the world, Mellow Johnny’s. The shoe also draws inspiration from the art bikes created to help raise funds and awareness for the Lance Armstrong Foundation this summer. Finally, it takes the iconic LIVESTRONG yellow and integrates it throughout the design of the shoe.

Highlighted features include: Juxtaposing soft premium oiled leather with aggressive anti-abrasive materials and black contrast stitching. The design is inspired by the two sides of Lance: The world’s greatest road cyclist and a man deeply connected with the culture of his sport. “Texas” and “Austin” are boldly placed on the shoe heels. The stitches crossed on the words give an unfinished and rough touch. Contrasting yellow and black sockliners build on the LIVESTRONG and Mellow Johnny’s bike shop theme. The crafted Starks laces with black aglets (tips) complement the refined, but aggressive, design.

The Livestrong x Nike Air Zoom Austin Tiempo is available on October 24th, 2009 exclusively at Mellow Johnny’s and Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer. It will be released more broadly in November along with the other three Tiempos collaborated with cyclists from Paris, Berlin and San Francisco. For more information visit THE CTRS.

We’re still waiting on better pictures of the “NOISE” Terminator, but in the meantime Nike’s dropped a couple other colorways to tide us over. Black and yellow has been used heavily this year (with a ton of LIVESTRONG product) but it’s still a classic combo. A black and blue “pearl” model reminds us a bit of the Foamposite inspired Big Highs and Blazers from earlier this Fall. Not a bad look. These have landed in Japan at Tokishirazu.

The music video for “24K Rap” off of J. Dilla’s latest release, Jay Stay Paid has been released. This is the first time NYC legends Havoc and Raekwon have ever been in a video together, so why not film it at Alife Rivington Club?! Store manager Jesse Villaneuva makes an appearance as the hostage, while several products we’ve featured on the site – such as Mr. Cartoon’s LIVESTRONG Air Force 1s – make cameos. Check it out!
