Nike X Levi's Collaboration


The Nike x Levi's collaboration was a on a pair of jeans and a denim jacket, specifically for the Nike SB (skateboarding)Team. This was a special collaboration where stake shops around the USA only got a limited run of. Skateboarders around the world have seen the recent rise in visibility with Nike SB, this to me was a statement piece putting Nike SB in a new realm in the skateboarding world. Then again it was a limited run and in skate shops only with the Tier 0 type relationship with Nike SB. You can see this inside the jeans with the limited run of jeans marked by a number between 2000.


Nike and Levi's even made Levi's trademark label on the jeans and denim jacket specialized. The red tag on the jean's pocket stayed the same while the leather waistline marker got a special treatment along with the leather size marker on the inside of the jacket. Even inside the jeans you can see the special Team Edition line across the waistline.





This isn't the first time Nike has teamed up with a big name label to create a collaboration of clothing or in some instances shoes. The most visible of the recent creations is with Supreme, a New York street brand, along with others in the past. This is just one of the few collaborations I personally own and feel that this is one of the best collaborations that Nike has made. It combines Nike's technology and all of its means along with Levi's wearability and structure.


If you have a chance to find a shop that has these left don't be afraid to make the purchase, granted it might be pricier than your normal jeans or denim jacket. In the end though, these will quite possibly and more than likely be your favorite jeans and denim jacket. Hopefully we can see more collaborations from Nike that hold this kind of weight in the future.

Nike Lunar Flyknit Chukka: Review


The Nike Lunar Flyknit Chukka is what Nike of the future my be looking like. A shoe with roots in the running world with a distinctive and definitive look and silhouette that sets it apart in the fashion world. The design makes the flywire a primary feature more so than in the other flagship flyknit running shoes for Nike.


The Lunar Flyknit Chukka keeps the charming knit of the flywire with the multiple colors that tend to stand out a bit more than the other Flyknits, such as the Flyknit Trainer and the Flyknit Lunar 1. For running purposes this is great shoe. The lunar sole is just as comfortable other lunars. The tread is a great road or paved trail sole.


But in the end, this shoe is all about style beyond just your normal running. The perfect shoe for the summer to set off any outfit. Go and get you a pair or two of the Flyknit Chukka's here. Just Do It.

Nike Flyknit Trainer: Review


The Nike Flyknit Trainer was one of the first installments of the Nike's now flagship Flyknit running line up. The intricate detail of the interwoven flywire knit can be seen throughout the design. The knit accents the shape the foot takes inside of the shoe as seen on top.


The shoe is one of the lightest offered on the market. The Flyknit is a strong fabric that lends itself to the runner's feet. Supportive, thin, and breathable is just a few things that the flywire technology has to give. The eyelets for the shoe laces even ingeniously use the flywire to anchor themselves. Providing support to the shoe, and a simple structural integrity to the shoe as well. As seen below.


As for the sole of the shoe, the Nike Flyknit Trainer is a solid choice. Giving the Nike quality support and comfort you're looking for. The tread is great for running on tracks or on paved trails. A shoe for a runner who runs on a regularly but not necessarily every day.
