If the Swizz Beatz remixes aren’t quite your thing then fear not

2012 has seen a good number of shifts in the way big releases are handled, most notably from Nike themselves at the advent of the Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 Twitter RSVP system and the fudging around of Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 some weekend releases. Foot Locker is switching things up a bit for the sure to be huge Air Jordan ‘Golden Moments Pack’ release to take place this weekend. At participating locations you can pick up a raffle ticket come Thursday at 6PM to get a chance to win Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 the opportunity to purchase the box set. Click through to get the full details as well as a list of the select stores to carry them and remember that if you don’t want to risk it there are plenty of Air Jordan ‘Golden Moments’ packs on us store now.

If the Swizz Beatz remixes aren’t quite your thing then fear not, a bit of the original Reebok Kamikaze heritage is indeed coming back around for a retro tour. That bit is in the form of the Reebok Kamikaze II (a silo you no doubt noticed on the feet of Swizzy and Tyga in our press conference post) which will be arriving in a couple Shawn Kemp approved classic colorways along with a few newer versions whose gaudy appeal almost drips over into the Reebok x Basquiat category in terms of aesthetics. With the OG by the likes of the White/Black/Green and White/Navy joined by surprisingly energetic colorways like the Silver/Red and the Red/Yellow/Gold, will the Kamikaze II have enough punch to re-live the relevance it once had over 15 years ago? Click through to get a look at what’s in store for the Reebok Kamikaze II (and keep in mind that those camo pairs are also in the mix) and stick with Sneaker News for more firm release info going forward.

Entirely overshadowed by notable veterans in their 25th and 30th years, the Nike Air Classic BW‘s 21st aiversary has gone all but uoticed.  The Big Window has always had that dubious distinction as one of those ‘follow-up’ styles that never got the same due as its immediate predecessor, but with the Air Max 90 enjoying so much attention and different versions at retail, the ol’ Air Max IV has quietly chugged along with some solid understated builds for 2012.  This Obsidian and white getup isn’t enough to save the Bronx Bombers’ crash and bu but it’s most definitely a potential workhorse for your everyday rotation and you’ll find them available exclusively (how ironic is this for a Yankees colorway) at England’s JD Sports.

With color names like Sequoia and Dark Khaki, you can tell even without seeing the newest Nike Dunk High AC that it’s going to be an earthy colorup for the fall season. Take in a few thousand more words as you examine photos of this latest Autoclaved Dunk High release from Nike Sportswear, its unique blend of ballistic nylon and suede an appropriate match for the rustic color palette. This organic color scheme looks particularly fresh juxtaposed against a pristine white sole, and you can see them from a variety of angles below before you pony up for a pair at NSW stores like Caliroots.
