It seems Nike really can't leave the BW alone at moment...and rightly so. This time we get another take on the classic silhouette in a clean black and white colourway with striking pink accents. Very nice to see a mesh toe box and although not 100% confirmed but it appears these may also come with the classic embossed tongue which is often overlooked in favour of the standard stitch job. Said to be hitting stores in January of '09, landing first at Opium Store, Paris. Click the link for more info:

It seems that nike has really started gettting their act together on the BW front. Favouring the clean traditional solid colourways and classic materials as opposed to this type of cheap looking junk that we have become accustomed too. An embossed tongue just like the original would have been nice but you can't get everything I guess. The obsidian, cayman and grey combo certainly ticks the right boxes and what looks to be a tidy nubuck and mesh material selection completes a nice effort all round. The damage? a relatively wallet friendly (well for the uk, anyway) £75. Available now in the UK @ MainSource and @ Proper in the US.

In recent years Nike has unfortunately had a bad tendency of butchering some of it's classic models by creating horrible mutant hybrids, using cheap looking materials and opting for highly questionable colour palettes. Fortunately every now and then they still manage to drop something that maintains some of the integrity of their original iconic designs. This Nike Air Classic BW comes in smooth leather and mesh in a Classic Charcoal/Dust-Swan-Black colourway. Evidently not the most adventurous of colourways, but finding this combination of materials on general release BW's has in recent years unfortunately become somewhat of a rarity. They failed to retain the embossed tongue found on the originals (they have opted for a simple stitch instead) but have still managed to capture some of the essence of the originals despite the smaller air units.
