Having originally been released in 1976, and recently reissued (in a slightly different design) as part of Junya Watanbe’s Comme des Garcons collection, the Sting is an absolute classic runner from Nike. This long awaited reissue has been subjected to Nike’s unique vintage treatment with a yellowed sole and distressed fabric. The upper is made up of nylon and suede and comes in a choice of two colorways: orange, white, and green or red, sail and gold. The shoe also features an old school printed “NIKE” on the heel.

The Nike Sting will be available July 11th, 2009 at Atmos Tokyo.

Today, Wilson is primarily known as a tennis brand. Year of recent tennis champions, from Sampras to Federer, help solidify this image. However, behind these Wimbledon champions lies a decades old tradition in American sportswear. Baseball and football, the classic styles of the 1920s and 1930s, the era of athletics before the glitz and the glamor of major corporate sponsorship.

The 1914 Vintage Collection captures Wilson’s heritage for the Japanese market. Perfectly detailed, down to the labels, the collection brings some iconic pieces of sportswear back to life. The award jacket will be familiar, it is after all a version of a letterman jacket. On the whole, the range reminds just how important these garments are to contemporary casual clothing.

Highlights from the Wilson 1914 Vintage Collection – including Jerseys, Jackets and Caps – after the jump.

Two of the most interesting Nike Sportswear footwear releases this season in our mind, are about to drop – the Nike Air Magma Vintage and the Nike Air Lava Dome Vintage. Both coming out of the Nike ACG range, Nike has given them a worthy upgrade for their Sportswear collection.

The Air Magma hiking boot comes in a nice dark brown suede colorway with red accents. The Air Lava Dome comes in a frey/beige/orange colorway. Both come with nice details and that overall vintage look.

Both the Nike Air Magma Vintage and the Nike Air Lava Dome Vintage will be released at Mita Sneakers on October 4th.

UNIV’s latest collection utilizes salvaged materials and the construction savvy of old-timers. The first in the "re-Vintage" set is the rambler. A quality, heavy duty canvas tote bag. Good for books. Good for setting sail, either figuratively or literally. An example of yet another move in the right direction for reusing fabric and preserving know how.

Digging into the archives, Adidas delivers a precise reproduction of the Gazelle. Here the color way is yellow and black. Striking, and well matched to the simple interplay between the three stripes, lace holes and the upper. The white sole lifts the entire set up, allowing the shoes silhouette to really speak. Well done.
