Nike Air Max 97 VT

Now I've never been a big fan of the AM97s. Mainly because they they were silver (or some other awful colour-way) and the amount of air bubble is slightly excessive. The novelty of "more air bubble is better" was still riding high in 1997 but lets face it, once you pass the age of 15 it all seems a bit ostentatious.

Having said that the new VT reworking of the old 97's in "Midnight Fog" (I think that means dark grey) came out pretty nice in my opinion... I probably wouldn't don them myself but I still consider them a success and an improvement on the originals (it's not often you get so say that!)

Nike - Blazer New Releases

Here are a couple of new releases of the classic Nike Blazer. Famous for being Nike's first ever basketball shoe it has rightly achieved some status among sneaker-heads.

Above is a modern take on the shoe, utilizing Vac Tech (or VT for short), giving it a seamless look which I think works quite well.

Below is latest "vintage" release that is exclusive to Size? and limited to 500 pairs in each colour. These are built from premium tumbled leather, unfortunately the out-sole has also been given the yellowy "antiqued" treatment, which I'm really not a fan of... however, sources suggest that some careful use of white-spirit can remove it, for a box-fresh look.
