"A king answers to no one"
Though its application isn’t as consistent as, say, a Jumpman on Air Jordan Retros, a fairly significant portion of classic designs from Nike Sportswear come with the classic orange Swoosh on their tongue tags. Historically, this has often indicated pre-yellowed VNTG releases, but the vulcanized soles on this new Nike Tennis Classic AC ND are clearly far too pristine to have gotten the oxidized touch. But one thing they are borrowing from the good old days is a colorway we’ve come to associate with adidas Tennis veterans like the Rod Laver and Stan Smith signature models, so how does a simple green-on-white palette suit this silhouette? Click through for more images and look for these at NSW retailers like Calirooots.

The Nike Tennis Classic AC ND had a strong showing back in 2010, but has since petered out a bit as other retro Nike Tennis models have risen to the spotlight. The sneaker is back with the leather look, maintaining the often understated aesthetic of this low-cut silhouette via a solid black palette on the upper, with the only real color beaming out of the royal blue lining and heel tab. Follow us after the jump to get a better feel for this new Nike Tennis Classic AC ND and if you like what you see, grab a pair for yourself from Caliroots.

The Nike Air Trainer Classic is a silhouette that effectively draws inspiration from the well-received Air Trainer SC Low. Today, the Air Trainer Classic arrives at select retailers in a familiar colorway that is sure to impress. White leather covers the majority of the upper with shades of grey on the Swoosh and heel panel. Hints of teal grace the inner liner, tongue and midsole. Check out additional images below.

Fans of the Air Trainer SC II only had their appetites for the long awaited retro release stimulated by the vulc-soled Auto Trainer lifestyle look from Nike Sportswear, and now they’re applying almost an inverted approach to the SC II’s predecessor. Instead of an autoclaved edition before the OGs, we get the Nike Air Trainer Classic Low as a chopped-off take on the Air Trainer SC, a new design that keeps its SC DNA thanks to the familiar tooling and reinforced eyelet wing. This teal-accented white/grey colorup is a throwback in its own right and the speckled rear section of midsole really drives home the golden era vibe. You can see some more photos after the jump if you’re still on the fence, then head to select NSW stores like West in New York to grab yours today.

After years of being overlooked despite being a cornerstone of their brand, Nike Sportswear recently gave the Cortez Classic a nylon upgrade of the iconic silhouette. Now Nike is taking it back to its roots with the Nike Cortez Classic OG Leather QS. Unless you’re one of the few who hasn’t seen the movie Forrest Gump, you’ve already seen this shoe in action as Forrest sports them at the bus stop and on his epic cross-country run. Set to return this spring in its original look from 40 years ago, the Cortez Leather features the larger Swoosh, heel tab, and vintage yellowed sole. Look for the release at SHELTA’s online store and or in person at its Gothenburg location.

Last year was a huge one for the Puma Clyde thanks to the limitless UNDFTD releases, so which model from the German-born sneaker company will hit the hardest in 2012? It may be a bit too early to tell, but keep your eyes on the Puma Basket Classic City, a no-frills lowtop in the same vein as the ubiquitous Clyde. Our first peek at the sneaker for this year sees a nice tumbled leather applied to the upper in the tone of dark denim, the color which all but dominates the top half. Will we see a Puma Basket Classic City revival on the same scale of what the Clyde saw in 2011? Only time will tell, but for now hit the jump for the full look at Puma’s latest and grab these now from SneakersNStuff.

Over the past few years, Nike has honed their Chinese New Year sneaker offerings into a finely tuned annual cycle, each turn of the zodiac offering a better display than the previous year, which is due in large part to the continual expansion in variety. This year, Jordan Brand got on board along with looks from the Zoom Kobe VII System and Zoom KD IV, but if you’re looking for something with a more casual approach to the coming Year of the Dragon, check out this new duo of Nike Sweet Classic Premiums. They’re something like this year’s answer to last year’s ‘Year of the Rabbit’ Tennis Classics, but further the expanding theme by offering one pair each for men and women. The colors have been flipped based on what you might expect from this split offering one with red acccents and another with purple so click through to see both of them, then head over to Kicks-Crew to get your hands on this sleeper collector’s item.
