OK, Nike Have Gone Nintendo MAD

11:00PM Luke Plunkett | What is this? A mass act of adoration on the part of Nike’s design team? Or some strange, off-key marketing exercise on the part of Nintendo? It’s difficult to tell, but what is clear is that Nike are loving their Nintendo at the moment. First it was NES-themed Air Max classics. Then a whole range of Wii-inspired kicks. Now it’s another NES-inspired shoe, this time the Air Max Terra. It’s got a similar theme to the Classics – the subtle d-pad around the sole, the colour scheme – but it’s not quite as refined. Indeed, it looks more like a Mega Drive 2 tribute than a NES one. Nike Air Max Terra Ninety Nintendo NES Collaboration [Crave Online, thanks Sid!] More »

NES Air Max Sneakers Will Surprise You With Their Tastefulness

9:30PM Luke Plunkett | The same kind of kids who dig sneakers are often the same kind of kids who dig video games. Means that we end up seeing a lot of sneakers with a video game theme. Sadly, as exciting as the prospect of a union between games and sneakers sounds (at least to those of us who waste too much money on both games and athletic footwear), invariably we end up with something that makes us use the words “The Horror” in the headline. But not this time! Nike and Nintendo are to be applauded for these NES-themed Air Max Classics, which eschew gaudy colour schemes and obvious prints in favour of something a little more subtle.
