NIKE DUNK HI x A.R.C.

Introducing the Nike Dunk Hi x A.R.C.

It goes without saying that the Nike Dunk Hi celebrates a legacy that has grown beyond the basketball court from its birth in 1985 only to find its way to the streets as an iconic symbol of style. Embraced by those who see the Nike Dunk Hi as a medium of self expression, this iconic silhouette of Nike’s design heritage has been integrated into the lifestyles of ballers, skaters, and collectors. In celebration of traditional street style and sports culture, Nike Sportswear enlisted Alife Rivington Club to take the Dunk and render it through their likeness.

Simple, clean, and crafted from pinnacle materials, A.R.C. started from the bottom up to create a shoe with design cues that pay homage to the court. The Nike Dunk Hi A.R.C. features a gum sole that incorporates ACG formula 0.44 sticky rubber known for improved grip in wet and dry conditions. In addition, the sneaker has a black suede upper and reflective Schoeller textile on the collar and tongue of the shoe and is finished off with the tie stripe mark and a stamp of the A.R.C. logo on the lateral heel.

“The Dunk is a staple in both sport and street culture which has become an iconic shoe for our generation,” says ALIFE. “We chose black for its simplicity and wanted a clean shoe that could be worn now or 10 years from now.”

The Nike Dunk Hi A.R.C. is released on August 1, exclusively at Alife Rivington Club.

How to Choose Basketball Shoes for Children and Teenagers

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 08:48:36 +0000

go straight into how to choose the right basketball shoes, let’s talk a little about the game itself. After all, the more we know and understand about the game, the more likely we are to come up with the right decisions.

Basketball is popular for many reasons. Some play basketball to keep fit, some play it for leisure, others play it competitively, and still others play the sport just because they love the sport. But the fact that basketball is so easily accessible to anybody may have something to do with the popularity of the game. Basketball courts are available on the streets, in schools, in backyards, at stadiums, and in almost every neighborhood. So anyone who has the slightest interest in basketball can simply shoot a few baskets any time they feel like it.

Besides, the nature of the game is exciting. Ever watched an NBA basketball match before? Notice there are several moments when the crowd simply goes wild? The atmosphere at a professional basketball match can be simply electrifying. So with entertainment and excitement, this popular sport draws a lot of attention from the media. With the heavy involvement of the media, sponsors, big bucks starts to roll in. And money has a weird way of attracting the best of the best to the sport, which in turn makes the games even more exciting to watch.

Everyone loves watching a good game of basketball. Adults love to watch it, children and teenagers simply adore the game. So it’s not unusual to see young people enjoy a game of basketball in their own backyard or neighborhood basketball court. It’s a healthy sport, promotes fitness and teamwork, so parents should encourage young teens to take up the sport. Besides, playing basketball will keep their attention away from other negative vices.

However, as in all sports, sometimes injury is common. Basketball is a game that requires a lot of running and jumping, so it’s not uncommon to injure the legs. In fact, the sport requires so much running and jumping that traditional shoes can no longer handle the kind of stress that is typical of basketball games. So there arises a need for basketball shoes.

Basketball shoes are not just pretty apparels. They are the most important piece of protection equipment for any basketball player. A good pair of basketball shoes not only prevents injury but also enhances the performance of the player.

You see, good basketball shoes manufacturers like Nike understand that basketball requires a lot of movements in all directions. So there is a tendency for players to sprain their ankles when they are required to change direction suddenly. Therefore, basketball shoes are designed to allow for lateral movements. Avoid wearing a pair of running shoes to play basketball, as running shoes are meant for forward movements only. Wear a pair of cross trainer if you expect to play a game after a run.

Finally, buy a pair of shoes that you really like, and feel comfortable in when running or jumping. Try out the shoes yourself and don’t force yourself to buy something that you don’t feel comfortable in just because it looks nice. It doesn’t have to be one way or the other. You can surely find a pair that feels good, and suits your personal fashion tastes as well.

Nike Air Force One 25th Anniversay “Enter The Ithology”

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:49:23 +0000

The Air Force 1 athletic shoe, released in 1982, is a product of Nike, Inc. The Air Force 1, created by designer Bruce Kilgore, was the first Nike basketball shoe to use the Nike Air technology. The selling of the Air Force Ones online by certain retailers is prohibited by Nike who has restricted supply of the sneaker. Little has changed to the Air Force One since its creation in 1982, although the original stitching on the side panels is no longer present in modern versions of the shoe. The name is a reference to Air Force One, the plane that carries the President of the United States. The shoes are sold in three different types: the low, the mid-top, and the high-top and come in many different colors, forms, textures, and patterns. The two most common forms of the Air Force 1’s are the all white and, all black pairs. The Mid-Top Air Force 1 is a variation of the shoe and comes with a non-removable strap and a higher top.

The Air Force 1 was produced in 1982 and discontinued the following year. It was re-released in 1986 with the modern italic Nike logo with a swoosh on the bottom on the back of the shoe. Since then, over 1,700 color variations have been produced, bringing in an estimated 800 million USD/yr in revenue. The Air Force 2 shoe introduced in 1987 is a newer variation of the original Air Force 1 that was produced in 1982. The shoe is a typical flat soled, casual-wear sneaker that can be made in many different variations of colors. Also, Air Force 2s were re-released nationally in the early 2000’s. They can be made in either the low-cut or high-top style. The shoe can be custom made in any color, but typically it has either a white or black based background color with almost any color used to fill in the Nike Swoosh and back heel.

History of the Air Force 1 Sneaker

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:37:39 +0000

The name of the sneaker, “Air Force One,” originated from the airplane that is known to transport the President of the United States around the world. Created and released to the public by Nike Inc. in 1982, Air force one basketball sneakers still remain in demand in the contemporary athletic footwear market.

This air technology increases the level of cushioning and comfort available to the wearer of the sneaker.

Design of this sneaker

The physical body of this sneaker is generally readily available in three footwear styles. These styles are known as the low, mid-top, and high-top sneaker. Since its original production and release in 1982, the basic design of this sneaker has remained relatively unchanged.

Like all other Nike sneakers, the Air Force One features the patented “swoosh” symbol in its logo. As a result of this famed logo, the Air Force One, and any other Nike product is easily recognizable, even to an untrained eye. Its design consistency has also made the sneaker a timeless classic that is quite easy for Nike Inc. to produce in mass quantities.

Where to Buy this Sneaker

Fortunately, these sneakers are available in approved footwear shops that sell Nike sneakers. Air Force One sneakers may also be found in any retail store affiliated with Nike Inc. that has been authorized to sell Nike products, inclusive of footwear. In addition, some versions of Air Force one sneakers may be found online and through independent brokers and resellers of the footwear.

Unique Style

Admirers of this basketball sneaker believe that Air Force Ones have steadfastly retained popularity due to its clean and classic styling, yet ever-changing physical appeal. At present, the most commonly available sneaker is either all white or all black in color. However, in today’s market, Air Force one sneakers are easily customized. Artistic customization allows an artist to cater the design of the sneaker to an individual’s personal tastes.

Limited run sneakers

Nike Inc. also releases special edition, or limited run, versions of the Air Force One. These sneakers are released in small quantities to coincide with certain holidays or themes. On average, the traditional Air Force One sneaker will cost at least $80.00 –

$100.00 in the United States. In contrast, limited run sneakers often have a base cost, minimally, of $100.00. From that range, the price can skyrocket. Customized Air Force Ones, similar to a special edition sneaker, are also readily available in varying colors, patterns, and textures.

Unfortunately, many potential customers have discovered that authentic Air Force one sneakers can be extremely difficult to find, especially when considering an online transaction. Customers may even encounter replications that are nearly impossible to distinguish from authentic versions of the Nike Air Force 1. Fortunately, there are some useful tips that can guide one’s search.

Protection of your investment

First, always remember that Nike sneakers must be purchased through Nike, or from an authorized dealer. If you choose to obtain this sneaker through an alternate route, always check the logo of the sneaker. The Nike “swoosh” symbol is distinctive. A trademark of Nike, Inc., its logo should always be a clear and crisp imprint on the body of the sneaker.

Replications of this logo are often blurred or feature uneven stitching that would not be approved of by Nike, Inc. In the end, the quality of the shoe will be indicative of its authenticity. Poor stitching, glued together bottoms and shoddy workmanship will allow customers to differentiate between a false item and a true Nike Air Force 1.

The comfort sneaker

Imitation sneakers also lack the comfort that is a trademark of Nike footwear. Since its release in 1982, Nike Air Force 1 sneakers have been a comfortable sneaker. Yet, even as its air technology increases comfort and wear, the ease of customization similarly increases its appeal to a multitude of people around the globe.

Cost and Availability

Air Force 1 sneakers are limited sneaker that are only available from Nike or authorized dealers. Examples of authorized dealers include the stores Niketown, Finish Line and Foot Locker. As a limited shoe model, Air Force 1 sneakers are officially unavailable for purchase online. Custom designs, however, can be ordered through Nike via the website: www.nike.com. Most of these sneakers will cost at least $80.00. If a customer finds a sneaker that costs much less than this base price, that particular sneaker may very well be an imitation product.

Online sales of Nike Air Force 1 sneakers

Even though Nike Air Force 1 sneakers are not officially available through the virtual marketplace, admirers of the shoe will still be able to identify private sellers online through sites such as EBay. Additionally, private homepages often highlight resale options for Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. In most cases, these homepage sellers are individual resellers of older Air Force 1 sneaker models. These salespersons are not affiliated with Nike, Inc., the official distributor of the Air Force 1 sneaker.

Nike Air Force 1 - A Great Choice For Teens

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 11:29:03 +0000

Nike is not a new brand. It has been around for ages. But it was mostly associated with sports. Many famous sports athletes and celebrities endorse this brand name. But recently, with the release of a new product line, the Nike Air Force One, this brand looks set to become a household name, especially among teens. How is that so?

Sports shoes are mostly specialized tools that both amateur and professional athletes use when they engage in various sports activities. These are specially designed products, and a lot of research has gone into producing these footwear. They are meant to maximize the performance of the wearer. In competitive sports, every little advantage is required to outperform fierce competitors. Nike has done a very good job at providing sports footwear of superb quality and design. These shoes are worn by sports personalities, and heavily promoted by the media.

The problem with this approach is that the price of the shoes start to rocket sky high. After all, the manufacturers have to recover costs for developing and marketing the footwear. A pair of running shoes can easily cost several hundred dollars or more. For those who are well off, this price tag means nothing. Unfortunately, the majority of the consumers, especially younger teens who have no source of income, find it hard to afford such products.

Nike Air Force One is the solution to the problem. The price of this product line is almost half of other branded sports footwear. Not only that, the designs are meant for the active teens. These products are comfortable to wear, and beautiful to look at. As expected, the bright Nike logo is at the side of all the shoes. They come in many different colors, designs, and cuts. For teens who like to play a game of basketball after school, they can choose a pair of mid cut Air Force One.

Some schools have strict rules about the colors of the shoes. They cannot be too fanciful looking. There are plain looking, one color shoes, that will be suitable for students of such institutions.

When you stop and think about the lifestyle of a typical teenager, you should realize that he or she is likely to be engaged in all sorts of activities - sports, shopping, attending school, etc. A pair of branded sports shoe that cost a small fortune doesn’t seem like the ideal product for a teen. The active lifestyle of an energetic individual will wear out the shoes more quickly than most people.

Therefore, affordability, comfort, and simplistic design is key. Nike Air Force One possesses all 3 characteristics. Because this product line provides great comfort, a teen can wear it for almost anything - playing tennis, street soccer, attending parties, and more. Adults may not be drawn to the brightly colored designs. But for teens, this product is a sure winner.

Nike Air Force 1 is going strong in its 27th year of inception. Masses are still awed by it. You would find school children, basketball enthusiasts, club players, concert artists and people on the podium all going gaga over these shoes. Here is wishing that Nike Air Force 1 brings in more of its multicultural appeal through the latest upgrades. In fact, now you can also witness a strong presence of Air Force 2, 3, 4, and 5.
