Nike Chuck Posite “Cave Purple”
Dec 4th
The Nike Chuck Posite gets its newest colorway this weekend in the form of the eye-popping “Cave Purple” release. Taking Foamposite material to the next level, the “Cave Purple” Chuck Posite takes a pattern effect that Nike has used in the past – on “Invisibility Cloak” and “Eggplant” colored releases – and applies it to the futuristic light refracting Foam upper of the Chuck Posite. Any icy outsole and hints of volt throughout the branding on the shoe set off the release even more than the color morphing upper already does.
The Nike Chuck Posite “Cave Purple” releases on Saturday, December 6th at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker, and online at Footlocker.com for $ 230. Check out the Launch Locator to see if a Foot Locker location near you will be carrying the release.
Air Jordan XX9 Black
Dec 4th
Dubbed the lightest Jordan to date, every element of the Air Jordan XX9 was well-considered when designed. As the 29th signature release from the brand, the line has come along way from when Michael Jordan first took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan 1. The XX9 features a reengineered FlightPlate and a one-piece woven upper that moves naturally and comfortably with your foot. The FlightPlate maximizes each movement’s energy return and allows for explosiveness from anywhere on the court. The breathable textile upper is woven into a single piece reflecting an attention to detail of its Italian craftsmanship.
Available in stores and online Saturday. Check out Release Locator for stores.
