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 Zoom Victory Spike and Precool Vest
Continuing to push the limits of sportswear innovation, the Zoom Victory Spike and Precool vest are two Nike products that impressed us when introduced at their media summit earlier this week.The Zoom Victory spike takes its design inspiration from the engineering of a suspension bridge, lending strength with minimal use of materials.

Nike 1984 Tier 0 Olympic Pack
With the Beijing Olympic Games just around the corner, it's only fitting that Nike release a pack of sneakers celebrating various Chinese Olympic Athletes from the past. Featuring traditional Chinese colors with some Olympic accents, I especially like the Air Max 1 version. Other silhouettes in the pack include the Blazer Low, Dunk Trainer High, Vintage Nylon Cortez, Court High Force and Wildwood90 Free...

Nike Four Guardians and Tech Pack Series
I haven't bought a pair of Nikes in a long time, but new releases coming this fall, including the Tech Pack and Four Guardians series, have me reaching for my wallet. A collaboration with Horitaka (an apprentice of Japanese tattoo sensei Horiyoshi III), Nike SB recently announced the Four Guardians series.
