Nike Sportswear Fall/Holiday 2009 Lookbook

Nike Sportswear unveiled it's Fall/Holiday 2009 collection with an appealing lookbook. A handful of Air Max sneakers, collaboration series with Parra, Cassette Playa, Mark Ward and Grotesk, durable outerwear for the freezing period, attractive colorways on various favorable shoe models and a lot more.


































Seriously, we rather prefer the approach of the lookbook itself than the entire collection which can be found almost anywhere. However, just in case you're wondering, these are now available at most of Nike outlets, retailers and official stockists around the globe.

If you're seeing something you fancy, we strongly suggest you call up your local retailers to check on the availability to avoid coming back empty-handed.
