Drawing inspiration from Nike’s popular outdoor basketball shoe, the Nike Air Raid, AG has developed a more casual boot for everyday wear. Using premium leathers, the silhouette is transformed into something a bit more clean cut, featuring muted one-tone color pallets and black outsoles. Available in three colors, you can check out some more detailed pictures of the double-strap sneaker after the jump, or head straight over Rowgage to grab a pair for yourself.

Reebok’s classic Reverse Jam Mid has hit retailers in four new colorways for the latter half of the year. Keeping things simple with basic two-tone colorways, the silhouette of the mid-top basketball shoe can really be appreciated. The release lacks a fair bit of cohesion, the two colorways of Red/White and Green/White looking a bit more festive than the autumn appropriate Brown/White and Black/Red models, but keep in mind, the collection does span two season. All four models are now available from Gettry and other Reebok retailers.

The mint chocolate things appears to be in this season, with this new rendition of the Nike Air Magma releasing at about the same time as Alife’s similarly colored America’s Hi duo. The brown suede upper of this latest Magma model is complimented nicely by both the strong black sole/lining and the pop of mint in the laces. For those of you seeking a more classic look this winter, the laces could easily be replaced with those of a more subtle color, making the boot a versatile seasonal release. This colorway of  the Nike Air Magma is available now from Limited EDT and other Nike retailers.
