With the Tier 0 release of the Nike Air Force 1 "Optical Force" this weekend in Milan, in collaboration with SlamJam, we thought we’d take a closer look at the black and yellow colorways.

The uppers come in wrinkled patent leather, the Swoosh, laces and lining in white. The lining comes in mesh and inner sole features the SlamJam "Optical Force" pattern and logo. The laces are waxed are have a real premium feel. Also the leather mid-sole adds a premium touch to the sneaker. The SlamJam logo is also embossed on the heel.

The pack will be released this Saturday, September 20th.

Have a detailed look at the SlamJam x Nike "Optical Force" Air Force 1 Pack after the jump.

We came across an interesting new Nike Air Force 1 Supreme Tier 0 pack today. Consisting of three colorways of the AF1, they all come with an upper made up of classic Oxford wool. The shoe is available in red, blue and black. Laces, lining and mid sole come in white, the outer sole in gum. Via Kenlu.

All in all a very nice pack, which gives the Air Force 1 a classic, yet premium look. Check out more detailed images after the jump.

We just showed you the violet version of the DQM x Nike Blazer Hi Tier 0, here now both colorways and complete information.
“Nike has partnered with New York retailer Dave’s Quality Meat for a limited release of the Nike Blazer Hi. Originally released in 1973, the Nike Blazer Hi is Nike’s first Hoops shoe, becoming a pioneering basketball sneaker. “This style was one the [DQM] team of Chris Keeffe, Dave Ortiz and myself all agreed was iconic, as well as being a sneaker we’d not yet had the opportunity to work with Nike on,” said DQM’s Kyle Demers.

After spending time in the Nike Design library at World Headquarters, Beaverton, Oregon, the team identified full grain leather and the classic Safari print on premium suede as their materials of choice for this special Nike Blazer. The next step in the design process saw the DQM team divide into two groups: Chris and Dave were joined by Nike designer Al Baik, while Kyle paired with Nike Design Director, Jesse Leyva. “The challenge was to see which team, taking inspiration from BMX and Skateboarding in the 1980’s, could create the best color way for the Nike x DQM Blazer Mid,” said Kyle Demers.

“When Chris, Dave, Kyle, Al and myself shared ideas, I knew there was not one winner, and the Nike x DQM Blazer needed to be in fact a collection of all three versions created by the DQM team,” said Jesse Leyva. “So that’s exactly what we did. “ Via Chris Keefe.

The Nike x DQM Blazer Hi will be available this summer in three colorways, at select retail accounts.”
So it seems like the violet version is coming out on May 3rd. Also the press release indicates a 3rd colorway. So more on that soon.

News about the new Nike Vandal High Vintage just keep coming in. Here we present you the upcoming Vandal High Supreme Tier 0. Nort Berlin will be releasing the shoe in store on the 5th of April. It seems like they start earlier with the Vandal than expected!

The latest from the Nike Vintage Running series is soon entering stores. This time they worked on the LD1000. The uppers come in a very lightweight black stretch material and the swoosh has been given a nice vintage used look.
The pack consists of three LD1000’s, each coming with a black upper, but different color swoosh. Nort Berlin will be releasing the pack exclusively on the 22nd of December.
Check out the other two colorways after the jump.

The latest pieces of the Nike Tech Pack have started entering stores. This time they released a leather varsity jacket and matching leather fitted cap. Both the jacket and the cap come in black leather with subtle brown branding. This pack will match the upcoming Tier Zero Nike Tech Pack Air Max 90 360 release, that you can expect soon.

The Nike Air Max 90 360 comes in premium materials and is dominated by black and brown colors, just like the jacket and the cap.
The Nike Tech Pack AM 90 360 is already available at Major DC. Check out more pictures after the jump.

In July we presented you the Claw Money x Nike Blazer Pack, the very first Nike Tier 0 pack targeted at women and designed by a woman. Nike has teamed up again with the graffiti artist/fashion designer. This time they worked on the Vandal Hi. This unique partnership between Nike and CLAW Money creates the next level of dialogue between Nike’s product and the very culture that has embraced it.  “Nike and street art, have been teaming up since day one”, says Jesse Leyva, designer for Nike.
The Claw Money x Nike Vandal Hi Pack consists of overall 3 styles. The Vandal Hi rarely gets special treatments, which makes this pack stand out even more. Here some words by Claw describing the project:
“The vandal is my favorite high top of all time! It used to be super rare and finding in a small size (which means girl’s sizes to all you collectors out there!)  was almost impossible! Now Nike and  I am bringing this gem to the ladies, so they can step out in the best!

I used a peacock feather to distinguish it as the rare bird it is. You don’t just want to be in the flock-  Stand up and stand out!!”
The Claw Money x Nike Vandal Hi Pack will be released at IHeart in NYC on the 25th of October and then roll out to other Tier 0 stores on the 27th of October.
Check out detailed pictures of all four sneakers in the pack after the jump.
