Final Home always impresses us with their creativity. The Japanese brand still stays in the background, at least outside of Japan, nevertheless pushed the creative boundaries in terms of design and mainly functionality. Years ago they first presented their nylon coats that one could fill with paper, a concept that still stands strong today. Also the brand is known for taking the environment into consideration in their collections.

Here we get a look at their Spring/Summer 2009 showroom setup. The presentation of the new collection is great and we also see some interesting alterations of the Nike Rejuven8 in the collection.

Take a further look at the Final Home Spring/Summer 2009 Collection Showroom Installations after the jump.

Yesterday we showed you first images of the new Nike Sportswear flagship store at 21 Mercer in Soho. Today we give you a look at the exclusive product that will be releasing at the store on its opening on August 22nd.
On the 22nd of August you will see the release of the Nike Air Force 1 Lux, coming in overall 12 colorways and only at the new flagship store. The REjuven8, a model that we introduced to you earlier this year, will also be coming in a nice line-up of colors, along with the new Lunar Racer, sporting the new Nike Flywire technology. Last but not least Nike will be releasing a technical M-65 patchwork jacket. The M-65 jacket is a true classic of military design. Updated and re-imagined as part of the NSW collection, it is produced from a highly functional three layer laminate waterproof breathable nylon. Each jacket comes with a different patwork layout and is thus unique.
If we did not give you enough reasons to pass by the new store, then we do not know what else to do!
After the jump detailed images of the other product.

Now that we get close to the start of the Beijing Olympics, Nike presents yet another Rejuven8 style, this time Tier 0, meaning very limited. This shoe has gotten the octagon treatment, hinting the occasion. It features a translucent black cage to emphasize the inner sock – this model also comes with both the golden and the embroidered metallic booties so you can change up the look. Via Sneaker Freaker.
Have a more detailed look after the jump.

Here comes yet another release, linked to the Beijing Olympics – the USA Pack. The pack consists of the Blazer High, Delta Force Low and the Rejuven8. All three sneakers come in a navy/white/red colorway, with both the Blazer and the Delta Force coming with a silver Swoosh.
The Nike USA Pack will be released on the 8th of August at Atmos and other premium retailers.

A couple of weeks ago we gave you the background story of the newly launched Nike Rejuven8 and also presented you the Metal Stand Pack and the Olympic Village Pack.
Here we give you a look at some nice upcoming summer colorways of the sneaker. It will be released in yellow, pastelle green and all white, with all three featuring a white inner socket. Nice colors and perfect for hot summer days without socks!

After giving you much background information on the construction and design of the new Nike Rejuven8 in the previous post, we present you yet another pack of thismodel that takes the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games as its inspiration – the Olympic Village pack.
This pack consists of several colorways of the Rejuven8 including lucky green, maize, royal blue, varsity red and black.
Check out all colorways in detail after the jump.

Designed with a focus on comfort, breathability and fit, the Air Rejuven8 is engineered to create an environment that allows the foot to rest and refresh in preparation for the next round of competition or training, making it the perfect shoe for athletes in-between sport.
Comfort, breathability and lightweight support are highly prioritized in athletic footwear. The Air Rejuven8 not only achieves these goals with its innovative cage, but also by integrating a knit sandwich-mesh inner bootie and an 8mm sockliner, giving athletes the additional snugness, stability, and insole cushioning necessary for light running. Made of resilient EVA foam and housing a heel air packet, this is among the thickest, softest sockliners NIKE offers. Additionally, the seamless bootie also allows the footwear to be worn without socks for better airflow.
The Air Rejuven8 hits shelves in April 2008, but its real coming out party will take place on 080808 when the world’s greatest athletes come together under one sky to compete. US athletes will sport these shoes as part of their medal stand outfits, and many others will wear them during downtime in Beijing this summer, looking good, as well as enjoying technology that has made them the future of NIKE recovery footwear.
Here we present you the Medal Stand Pack, consisting of mens and womens models for Kenya, the US and Ukraine.
Check them out in detail after the jump.

At a Thanksgiving dinner in 1999, a NIKE innovation leader’s seven-year-old son took the protective fruit net off an Asian pear and placed it around his bare foot. It was a playful gesture that immediately sparked the imagination of NIKE’s design team, spawning the first Air Rejuven8 prototype—built from the very same netting and hot-glued to a last. What intrigued designers about the structure was the way the material worked in harmony with the foot’s shape, as well as its graphic look. But, at the time, the technology required to make the Air Rejuven8 was too complex for conventional shoe manufacturing. Its various prototypes ended up at the bottom of a drawer for nearly five years, out of sight, but not out of mind.
In 2003, Nike innovation designer Pam Greene was studying the comfort aspects of a shoe: important foundation work for delivering recovery benefits to the feet of weary athletes. Greene immediately saw potential in the netting design, working out a tangible plan for the shoe’s construction. After six months researching materials and geometries for the net structure, Pam, a specialist in designing comfort footwear, crafted the shoe into a prototype phase that showed a unique ability to assist recovery and enable restorative running. After an additional year of testing and refinement by the Kitchen team, the Air Rejuven8 concept was ready to see the light of day.
The key innovation of the Air Rejuven8 is its injection-molded exterior cage. Made from one shot of TPU polymer, the network of diamond-shaped “struts” is engineered and aligned to fit around the foot to be both supportive and non-restrictive. The spacing, orientation, and thickness of each strut adds support and flex only where it is needed, allowing the use of less material in the upper. The strength-to-flex characteristic of the diamond’s geometry gives the structure its minimal, yet highly functional quality. The entire network conforms dynamically to the changing shape of the athlete’s foot in motion and at rest, while the openness of the structure allows for airflow, breathability, and the movement of moisture away from skin needed in comfort footwear.
Once again Nike proofs that innovation is still one of their highest principles with the Rejuven8. In the following posts we present you the outcome of the above described process, the Rejuven8 Olympic Village Pack and the Medal Stand Pack.
Before check out after the jump some more images of the creation process of the Rejuven8.

Recently we showed you the Nike Rejuven8 Beijing editions. Here we give you a first look at what seems to be the Rejuven8 out of the 10AC collection. It comes in all white  with white socket as well.

Coal Uno does not only give us a look at the white Rejuven8, but also at two colorways of the Rejuven8 Mule, a sandal based on the Rejuven8.
No word on the release so far, but we’ll keep you posted!
