Once again Nike Japan releases a pack of sneakers, celebrating a Japanese holiday. This time Setsubun is celebrated with a pack of Court Forces.
“In Japan, Setsubun is the day before the beginning of each season. The name literally means “seasonal division”, but usually the term refers to the spring Setsubun, properly called Risshun, celebrated yearly on February 3.” Via Wikipedia.
The pack consists of a Court Force Lo and Court Force Hi. Both feature a wild mix of materials, colors and graphics on the upper. The sneakers will be released January 12th at Atmos. After the jump the Court Force Hi.

Once again Overkill is among the first to receive the next shipment of Nike 2008 Dunks. The next release includes a black/anthracite Dunk Low and the Hoop Orange Dunk Hi, both featuring a leather/black woven upper.
Check out the other Dunk after the jump.

Last minute before the holidays really get started, Nike drops a rather big range of new models, among the releases Trainer Dunk Low’s, Court Forces, Air Max 3’s and Zoom Hywards.

Two interesting Trainer Dunk Low’s dropped. A beige/briwn colorway and a black/brown colorway came out, each featuring camouflage patterns on the side. The black model also has a nice contrasting red inner lining and accents.

Also the new Court Forces come in some special colorways. The Court Force Lo is at the base white, but features a patchwork upper on the sides and back heel. The patchwork is made up of different exotic leathers. The Court Force Hi “St. Valentine” is also among the releases and it certainly seems a bit early for that. It has a white/pink upper with pink patent leather accents and a gold swoosh. The ultimate sign for the St. Valentine sneakers is the heart on the tongue tag.
Other releases include the Air Max 3, Air Stab and the Zoom Hyward also in two colorways. The entire batch dropped at Atmos today. Check all these out after the jump.

Among the most recent releases of Nike is a set of three Court Forces. There are two new Court Force Hi’s and one Court Force Lo. The multicolor Court Force Hi is probably the most interesting in this drop. It features a fading multicolor patent leather part going over most of the sneaker. Matching that, the outer sole also comes with lots of colors applied.
The other two Court Forces are more simple and come with an upper in white with accents with purple, black and sliver. All three dropped now at Atmos. After the jump more detailed pictures of the multicolor Court Force Hi Premium.

This month Adidas is only releasing one new shoe as part of their Consortium series. It is part of the Consortium Status Pack. Compared to most other Consortium releases this shoe is more subtle and basic, and concentrates on the premium materials and overall quality.
Expect this Top Ten Lo to still hit stores this month!

Nike got together with Japanese music band Ryo The Skywalker. The pack consists of a Nike Court Force Hi and Court Force Lo. The Court Force Lo’s are inspired by the sky and the Court Force Hi’s are inspired by the earch. Both sneakers do not ony come with a wild material mix, but many other details such as custom tags and lace locks.
The Nike x Ryo The Skywalker Pack has now been released at Atmos and is exclusive to the Japanese market.

Some of the Nike SB December 2007 releases are already getting into stores. In4mation received the first shoes that are part of the Nike SB Premium line – the Nike Blazer Hi and Blazer Lo. The Blazer Lo comes in a khaki colorway, with suede upper and a faux-fur inner lining. The Blazer Hi comes in more colorful with a black/turquoise/orange upper. The new Nike SB Premium line comes in white shoe boxes with a black floral pattern running inside!

Here a preview of a new Nike Court Force Pack that will be dropping soon, the Snakeskin pack. The pack consists of both Court Force lo and hi and comes with an upper made up of basic white leather and red snakeskin. On the Court Force lo the entire toe box is also covered in snakeskin. Expect these to be available soon at Size!

Here you see one of the latest Nike Court Force Low releases. It comes in colors that most of your should be familiar with from the Diamond Dunk SB’s. A nice mix of patent leather, patent perforated leather and also a good portion of croc skin make this Court Force Lo a hot release. The grey/anthracite/black colors are definitely looking good. Expect these to get into stores this month.

The news about Alife do not seem to stop. After a series of collaborations we now report again on the latest Alife sneaker releases of their own brand. Japanese store have been hit recently with two new packs by the NYC brand – the Rain Pack and the Lumberjack pack.

The Rain Pack consists of an Everybody High and an Everybody Flood Supreme. Both come in yellow colorways. We cannot really tell you at this point what the shoes technically bring to the table, but we suppose they are rain proof or something like that.

The Lumberjack Pack consists of an Everbody Hi and an Everybody Lo. Instead of Lumberjack accents like we have seen from many sneaker companies, Alife brings the entire sneaker upper in red/black Lumberjack. Pics via Flauge/Lowtex.
