Twenty Twelve has been a great year for Nike Sneakers, they have produced some great shoes this season in addition to being omnipresent at the Olympic Games while they weren't the official sponsor.
A number of Nike's great twenty twelve shoe releases included the continuation of the growth and development of the Nike Air Max One and the Jordan brand growing to the heights of recognition last observed in the late eighties and the early nineties. We also saw the discharge of Nike's long anticipated release of the Nike Flyknit that was the shoe crampon hypervenom which was all around the Olympics even though not quite inventing the technology the Flyknit certainly re contextualized it for the modern era. One if the interesting things of the Flyknit was the pricing, Nike up the price for any base model to ??150 that is far in advance of the usual price point of around ??90 but this didn't appear to put many people off because the first issues were sold-out instantly despite the fact that Nike did a press realise saying that this new technology cut costs, these saving were certainly not passed on to the client!
Nike are also releasing lots of Woven Chukkas this year, which seem to have gained popularity. The Woven which was when the preserve from the sneaker collector can now be seen all across high street shops, it's awkward shape has now started to attract everyone, this might be due to the over saturation of the Max series or possibly it's because of people looking for a more challenging shaped shoe.
Nike have plenty of interesting releases coming for 20 thirteen with the long over due release of the Huarache in it's original form, and we're also going to begin to see the return from the Max Ninety Infra Red which really really should not be release again for another ten years at the earliest. The Max One in its original red and white form will be making a come back in addition to a few technology and much more Hyperfuse.
Actually Twenty Thirteen may be known as the year of the OG because of the return of the Max Ninety Five and also the Max Ninety Seven in their original colour ways plus newer material forms.
I can only see Nike sneakers continuing their domination from the sneaker hypervenom pas cher market however for how long I'm not sure, if they continue to upset the collectors by continuing to re release the classic they may begin to lose their core following, but with the growing curiosity about all things Nineties I can not discover their whereabouts stopping to soon with all of that easy money to be made.
