Zoom Kobe V

Okay so it’s been a while since we’ve updated the blog but you know life happens. Anyway NIKEiD is launching the Zoom Kobe V on Christmas day. There has a preview up now for a couple of weeks on the NIKEiD builder but this video lets you get a closer look of the shoe in the flesh. It’s a little changed from the shoe we previewed in the summer but the one piece upper is still there.

Nike Air Max+ 2009 iD

You can now customise the Nike Air Max+ 2009. The full-length, articulated Max Air unit provides maximum cushioning and allows for a smoother, more natural range of motion while running. The removal of the Pebax cage creates a softer cushioning and improves protection. The ultra light upper of the Air Max+ 2009 is constructed with Flywire technology, this groundbreaking technology debuted 2008 in Beijing and acts like synthetic tendons to provide targeted support and a dynamic fit. Also available in widths.

Nike Free 5.0 v4 iD

The Nike Free 5.0 v4 has come to NIKEiD. The new 5.0 features a deep, gender-specific Nike Free sipes molded along the length and width of the midsole allow for barefoot-like flexibility and stability, while retaining the traction, underfoot protection and cushioning of a shoe. A unique tongue construction is engineered to reduce pressure over the top ridge of the foot, while also contributing added support by wrapping up around the medial arch. Soft, microfiber synthetic overlays are bonded using ultra-sonic welding wherever possible to minimize stitching and maximize comfort

Nike Hyperdunk Metallic Eggplant Pack

Two new Hyperdunk colour-ways have dropped and they merge two lightweight technologies from Nike together. The two new make-ups take their inspiration from the Flightposite 1 and the Foamposite, Nike’s first real attempt at drastically reducing the weight of a basketball shoe. These will hit selected accounts only; I doubt we will see to many east of the Atlantic.

Nike is set to release another military inspired coat, the NSW M51 Parka. The M1951 Parka was developed by the US military during the Korean war to help soldiers through the extreme cold weather, it was also known as the fishtale parka.

The NSW M51 features StormFIT technology and is liner-less, making it prefect to throw over a hoody or sweater when it starts to rain. Other features include laser cut perforated pit vents, waterproof zips and laser cut detailing on the pockets. The M51 will initially come in three colours and will be out in September.
