Nike Zoom Speed Low - Spring 2010

The reason you think the new Nike Zoom Speed Low resembles the Zoom Kobe IV is because, well, it does.  Strip out the Flywire and accompanying indentations on the midsoles from the ZKIV’s side panels and anyone but the truest sneakerheads would have trouble telling them apart.  It looks like Nike will push this model as a lightweight shoe for guards come Spring 2010, and we have shots of six unique models after the jump.  Check out the photos and let us know if you think the design was worth revisiting like this.  via KenluRead the rest of Nike Zoom Speed Low - Spring 2010© Sneaker News, 2009. |Permalink |No comment |Add todel.icio.us close

Asics Gel-Lyte Speed - Grey Goose

Finally a shoe to match your drink of choice! Just kidding, and while we are not sure why this one is called the ‘Grey Goose’ we are sure this is a pretty slick design. When hasn’t a tonal grey upper worked anyway? Factor in the hits of 3M laced throughout the heel and all that’s left to discuss is the element that makes this one a clear cut above the rest. The barber pole like  heel cap and laces are the star of this story and give this runner a nice touch of originality. Via SneakerFreaker close
