Nike Sweet Classic Low Canvas – Stealth/Black/Yellow
The Nike Sweet Classic is consistently overlooked and never get’s the welcoming we believe it should. The time-tested styling is just as fashionable today as it was yesteryear and with the vast selection of color options there’s bound to be one or two which you can work up with a nice fit. At a price of $56 you can’t go wrong either, which is how much this Stealth/Black/Yellow version of the Nike Sweet Classic Low Canvas retails for. A stiff canvas in Stealth constructs the upper while leather is used for the Yellow heel tab and the Black Nike Swoosh. Red Nike embroidery appears on the heel tab, and on the Black tongue tag, while a White sole unit with a Grey toe cap, a Yellow pinstripe and a Yellow Nike stamp further accents the upper. Wrapping of the sneakers is a pair of Red insoles which include a homage to Blue Ribbon Sports, the company in which Bill Bowerman and Philip Knight founded before officially branding the company as Nike in 1978.
For those who are interested you can pre-order the sneakers now through Finishline. They’ll be shipping from the warehouse to your door Mid March. Click here for a closer look.
(Product) RED x Nike Dunk Low
Back in November Nike teamed up with (Product) RED, a campaign organized by Bono and a slew of soccer players to help fight AIDS in Africa, to put together a collection of products who’s proceeds would be donated to programs that help fight the savage disease. The first co-branded item to release was a pair of Red laces which Nike launched aside their newly launched “Lace Up. Save Lives” campaign which carried the message the best way it could. Buy a pair a laces and you can help fight the deadly virus which kills over 6,000 people and infects more then 11,000 more each and every day in Africa.
With a dedication to help a great cause Nike’s followed up their (RED) shoelaces with a pair of Nike Dunk Low’s designed in collaboration with Product (RED). The Dunk Low is slaughtered in a color combo on Red and Black on a upper fabricated from leather with some sort of Black pattern embroidered on the heel panel. Nike’s Red shoelaces which they designed with (Product) RED keeps you laced up and the co-branded logo which smashes up the logos of both companies is included on the tongue tag and lace locks.
No official release date is available at this time but thanks to StreetThing we’ve been provided with a glimpse of whats to come.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “Burgundy”
The “Air Max 1’s for 5 years of business” series by Patta is about to launch it’s 5th installment with this Burgundy Air Max 1. As you should all know by know Patta is celebrating 5 years strong in Amsterdam and in honor of their achievements they’ve teamed up with Nike to release a round of Air Max 1’s in a series of colorways and designs. The duo has so far released Green, Purple, Black and Corduroy versions of the Air Max 1, all of which released in 2009, and in just a little less then 2 weeks this Burgundy addition will wrap up the series and finish off the collection of Patta Air Max 1’s that many of you started.
Creating a defiant eye catcher is Burgundy suede smothered throughout the entire upper of the Air Max 1 with a pair of Light Blue laces, a Light Blue tongue tag and a pair of Light Blue lace eyelets adding plenty of pop. A fuzzy material which looks like chenille, the material used on varsity jackets, is used to construct the Nike Swoosh in a tonal Burgundy finish. A White inner lining and a White mid-sole blend in perfectly and just seem so fitting and for all those necks you snap as you pass by there’s a multi-colored outsole for their wondering eyes.
Watch for the sneakers for the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Burgundy to officially release on March 13th in-store at Patta and through select Nike Sportswear retailers.
Royal Blue Nike Air Foamposite One Expected For Fall 2010 Retro
Yes, you read it right folks. The infamous Royal Blue Nike Air Foamposite One’s are expected to return later this year as a retro. We haven’t gotten word on just when exactly the shoes will release but during an recent interview with Patrick Christopher of the California Golden Bears SoleCollector dropped the news. After asking Christopher what his favorite sneakers were and him mentioning the Royal Blue Foam’s as one of em, SoleCollector replied with “Yeah they’re bringing those out again this fall.”
This is sure to be good news for all those like myself who were hoping Nike would bring the Royal Blue’s back this year after releasing the Copper and Eggplant models. However it’s bound to be bad news for all the resellers who’ve been getting $400-$500 a pair for both the OG’s from ‘97 and the first retro’s from 2007.
When further details are available you can best believe we’ll keep you informed so make sure you keep it locked to Sneaker Obsession.
