We’re nearing midway of March but it can never too late to rock new kicks. Since it’s inception, Nike Sportswear has made a virtue of the ethos of evolution, crafting iconic products with innovative materials and defining designs. NSW pushes the invisible wall between where the athlete stops playing and starts living.

Basically, Nike’s got a brand new bag for you guys and you gotta check out the stuff at the store. The 3GX series, which we previewed at Hideout, is also available at Nike stores nationwide along with the pairs you see here. I’ll preview the bags that come with the kicks this weekend.

Aside from these AM1 Holland Packs, most of the stuff coming out is all about All Black Everything. I mentioned to you guys before that a lot of black and white silhouettes will be the thing for 2010 and this collection is a testament to it.

Last Friday (February 26), Hideout dropped a load off to end the busiest February known to man. Well, Feb’s always been known as a drop month, especially with the All-Star Weekend happening but in terms of the sneaker industry here in the Philippines, this has been a crazy month. This will be a two-part series as I got a little photo crazy with the releases. With this release, you should have noticed the trend I mentioned a while back being more visible. Almost all the brands are going back to simple colorways, slowly leaving the crazy candy colors to, well, candies. You’ll see more of these black/white pieces throughout the year, which I don’t mind. 2010 is all about keeping things clean and making your pair as dynamic as possible.

First up is the Dunk Hi AC. AC stands for autoclave, which is the process on how you make these soles. In simpler terms, the Dunk now carries a vulc sole. As mentioned before, the vulc sole is back with the vengeance and now on the Dunk. This Dunk in particular is part of a six country pack for the World Cup. This piece is for Brazil. Nike hooked up with Brazilian street artist Nunca to design portions of the collection (hoodie linings, logos, etc.). Expect more World Cup pieces in the coming months. I’ve graduated from Dunks but this got me thinking. Technically, it’s not your conventioal Dunk anymore, with the upper being canvas and the sole being vulcanized. The colors are simple and would definitely look great with everything. What do you guys think? Is this pushing it? The Dunk AC retails for 4,995 Php.

Next up is the Air Macropus Lite. Now, here’s a shoe for those who want to wear the swoosh without looking like a frat boy in their 30s. The shoe definitely looks like the Clark Wallabee, a lifestyle shoe that has been around for the longest time. This shoe is great, with premium leathers and the creamy white sole giving a great contrast. The green tongue tag and the minty green eyelet is a great accent to bring everything together. The shoe is part of the 3GX series, along with the Blazer (below) and the Zoom Tennis Classic. The shoe is quite comfortable with the Zoom heel in effect. What I don’t like about it is that it’s a bit bulky. This may fit big dudes like me but they’re still a bit bulky for my taste. Regardless, this shoe is pretty nice and would be a great alternative to your trainers. The Macropus Lite goes for 6,295 Php.

The last shoe of this post is the Blazer Mid ND ’09, also part of the 3GX series. What did I tell you? Nike’s really keeping it low key for 2010 and you should too! With this skinnier version of the Blazer, I say go for it. It’s always a better alternative than Chucks. The Blazer retails for 3,795 Php (not bad, right?). I say cop it.

For those reading my blog for the first time, Hideout is located at Greenbelt 5, near the Greenbelt 1 parking lot.

I’m sure you’ve seen that colorway before. I’m sure some of you have heard the story behind ‘em. Five years in the making. From Sample to now on Sale. We Legendary trumps itself one more time by dropping these Dunk High SB Guccis at the store. Shoe will drop this Saturday, November 14,1pm.

But if you’re not feelin’ the Gucci Dunks, there’re a couple more pairs worth copping. Among them, I’m feelin’ the Blazer, the P-Rod and the Janoskis. I can feel a pair has my name on it. Attention all those who have 10.5s, please arrive after I get there. Those Janoskis are mine. Mine, I tell you. See you guys there!
