Nike Air Force 1 AC City Collection (Navy/Black/White)
Jun 8th
The Nike Air Force 1 AC City Collection is comprised of three different colorways representing three different cities: Oklahoma City, Miami and Los Angeles. The Air Force 1 has kept itself in the public eye over decades, and over the years has developed and evolved into more of a lifestyle shoe than a performance sneaker. In this particularly reinvention, the low-profile arrives in limited quantities.
The navy, black and white colorway is representative of Oklahoma City in this collection. The navy takes an understated, yet fresh approach in its design. A touch of sky blue appears on the shoe’s tongue and eyelets to provide for a bit of flair and delves deeper into the Oklahoma City color palette.
Available in select stores.
Nike Air Force 1 AC City Collection (Red/Black/White)
Jun 8th
The Nike Air Force 1 AC City Collection is comprised of three different colorways representing three different cities: Oklahoma City, Miami and Los Angeles. The Air Force 1 has kept itself in the public eye over decades, and over the years has developed and evolved into more of a lifestyle shoe than a performance sneaker. In this particularly reinvention, the low-profile arrives in limited quantities.
The red, black and white colorway is representative of the Miami Heat in this collection. While red is the dominant color in this sneaker, it’s safe to say that it’s delivered in an overall clean and confident package. Its crisp white midsole separates itself from the red upper for a clean pairing. Cap it off with an black Swoosh, and you’ve got the representation of that team of All-Stars in South Beach.
Available in select stores.

2014 World Cup Gear
Jun 7th
Though the World Cup as most people know it only takes place every four years in a select host country – the four years of qualifying that teams must go through to reach the final tournament makes the World Cup the largest single-party sporting competition in the world. The 2014 tournament begins next week, on June 12, when host nation Brazil kicks the tournament off in their match against Croatia. Over the next month, 32 of the world’s top teams will take on each other all around Brazil for the chance to be crowned World Cup champs. Thankfully, you won’t have to travel all the way to Brazil to pick up your World Cup jerseys and merchandise from Nike, adidas, and Puma – we’ve got it all at Foot Locker. Between the three brands, Foot Locker is carrying jerseys and apparel from seven of the biggest countries heading to Brazil: Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the United States.

Jordan 6-17-23 “Gym Red”
Jun 6th
The Jordan 6-17-23 is a mashup of two iconic Air Jordan models, the 6 and 17. Taking cues from each shoe, the general shape of the Air Jordan 6 serves as the base on which distinct pieces from the Air Jordan 17 are layered (midsole, outsole elements, lace loops, collar and tongue). Nubuck and leather uppers are a bright Gym Red color, accented by black on the tongue, midsole and collar lining. Pick up a pair for $ 145 starting this Saturday, June 7th at House of Hoops by Foot Locker stores and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EDT).

Nike Air Huarache “Blue Hero”
Jun 6th
The Nike Air Huarache is one of the better known trainers in the sneaker game. Designed by industry legend, Tinker Hatfield, the Air Huarache is made up of synthetic leather overlays that sit on top of a neoprene bootie. The shoe comes together with the iconic Huarache heel counter. The upper sits on top of a white midsole with tons of character of its own. Unfortunately for American sneaker enthusiasts, the latest Huarache retros have been European exclusives. That is no longer the case as the Nike Huarache “Blue Hero” is in select Foot Locker stores now. The “Blue Hero” colorway is officially a white/wolf grey-blue hero model with the blue hero accents on the heel and the inner lining of the bootie. The blue accents pop against the neutral grey, white, and black that take care of the rest of the shoe for a great looking colorway.
The Nike Air Huarache “Blue Hero” is now available in select Foot Locker stores for $ 100. Check your local store for availability.

Nike SB Air Jordan 1 White
Jun 4th
Opposite in color, the Nike SB Air Jordan 1 also arrives in White instead of the dominantly Black version previously posted. This set of Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 sneakers reveal that the pairs arrive mismatched. The intention is for the shoe to be worn and the revealing “paint” to reveal its original base color. Sticking true to the original colors of the AJ1, the innovative nature of this release is that in order to obtain both pairs, you have to get both colorways of the white/black and white/black.
Available at Flight 23 in New York City only Saturday.
