Nike Considered: Long Ball Lace by Tim Yu
We've never had a problem getting behind Nike Considered's eco-consciousness, but there have only been a few styles that we'd actually, er, consider wearing. Following suit, new to the Considered family and taking a page from the Footscape series, Nike introduces the Long Ball Lace. With the looks of a deconstructed baseball, it's not really for me. But it's environmental cred is even more impressive than before. Entirely woven, it's made without any glues or chemicals and replaces the rubber footbed with cork, making it completely biodegradable and fully sustainable—100% of it can be recycled. Available here for ¥14,170.
More images, including the slip-on version, here.

Nike Considered Blazer
I've respected the Considered line of sustainable sneakers from Nike since its launch earlier this year, but I can't honestly say I liked any of the models. Until now. Freshness has pics of the next 4 Considered models, but this Blazer is by far the most hot-to-trot. The color combo is Fall fresh, the Blazer form is classic and the Free sole is innovative....

Nike Trainer 1 Launch and Sketches
The original Air Trainer (above left) debuted 20 years ago, but Nike finally unveiled the long-awaited update last week.

Zoom Stefan Janoski SB: Designer James Arizumi Interview and Sketches
One of the most well-respected pro skaters in the biz, Stefan Janoski finally got his own long-overdue shoe with Nike SB. In keeping with his relaxed, nonchalant skate style, the Zoom Janoski is a clean, comfortable and functional shoe. Nike's second signature model, it's a marked departure from their first—a Paul Rodriguez shoe which is more beefy and athletic-looking, again following P-Rod's skate style....
