We gave you a preview of Nike’s 2009 running collection including the Nike Twilight a while ago and we now have new information and detailed pictures of the pair. Referred to as the Nike Twilight, the pair shown above is a hybrid between three of Nike’s greatest running sneakers—the Nike Air Triax Structure, the Nike Air Max Stab, and the Nike Air Pegasus. That’s right, 2009 will bring further development of the “love it or hate it” concept of combining multiple sneakers into one and referring to the product as a hybrid. The Nike Twilight yields a mesh toebox, rubber outsole, and leather accents.  You can expect for these to drop at your local Nike retailers in Spring 2009. Via BKRW.

Nike’s Terminator has never been known to be an extravagant sneaker rather a model that traces back to college teamed colorways. However, Nike has changed the way the image of the Terminator over the past few years and has refined it with premium materials such as snakeskin found on this Terminator Low Lux. This scaly design makes up the front portion of the shoe which includes the toe, toebox and lacing area. But there is more to this Terminator than snakeskin, gold finishes, a white midsole and gum sole are added features that complete this premium model. The Terminator Low Lux is now available at Atmos Tokyo.
