Just as usual, Nike is bringing back hits from the past. This time around, the Nike Air Max 97 has been retro’ed in the metallic silver/varsity red/neutral grey colorway. Although 1997 was only twelve years ago, it doesn’t hurt to have a fresh pair to rock. The shoe uses metallic silver leather and mesh, and most of all, the reflective lining throughout the shoe. To finish things off right, the shoe has a white midsole with Air Max unit and a clean black outsole. These are going for $250 overseas right now.

The next in the line-up of Nike Air Huarache-inspired shoes is the Nike Air Max 90 Premium in the classic mean green colorway. Along with the mean green patent leather panel, the shoe uses a premium white leather upper, midsole, and sole to complement the mean green and varsity royal found throughout the shoe. This AM90 is great for any classic Nike collector, because it follows the bloodline of the Air Huarache made in the latter of the 20th century. Certainly this shoe brings back memories, except for that of the price, which is about $80.

With a subtle combination of various colors and materials, the Puma R698 shown above will surely be hit amongst fans of Puma’s impressive running line. The Puma R698 is one of the few sneaker models to maintain the classy, lightweight, and retro feel that most sneakerheads desire. Featuring a leather and mesh upper lighted up by orange and light blue accents, this pair does not only yield a great colorway, but also includes the trinomic sole system which provides the comfort and flexibility needed to run that extra mile. Most Puma fans will definitely notice that this trinomic sole unit is also included on some of Puma’s more popular models such as the Blaze of Glory and the Disc Blaze. These are set to release sometime in 2009. Via Sneaker Freaker.
