Even when it comes to reproducing original colorways, the only Nike releases that typically come with ‘Retro’ on the box label are Air Jordans. But Nike Sportswear appropriated the ‘OG’ tag for a series of VNTG-treated originals earlier this year, so with that in mind, it’s somewhat less shocking that this model pictured above is officially named the Nike Air Vortex Retro. This suede and mesh makeup does indeed have a classic vibe thanks to its simple red/grey colorway atop a white sole, so have a closer look below and grab yours at NSW stores like Caliroots.

Nike Air Vortex VNTG – Mid Turquoise – Total Crimson – Squadron Green – Sail

Nike Air Vortex VNTG Mid Turquoise Total Crimson Squadron Green Sail

Vintage styling is still in, and Nike Sportswear gives us a reason to continue that trend with this incredible new colorway of the Nike Air Vortex VNTG. Mixing in some brighter tones with the Squadron Green, this new colorway certainly has that punchy “hiker” vibe to it, sorta mixing in Nike’s iconic ACG colorways with this vintage-style runner. Also not the pristine materials, like suede, mesh, and perforated nylon – perfect for any ‘fit. Check out gallery of photos below and be on the lookout at stores near you because Euro retailer Titolo has them in stock and ready to go.

Nike Air Vortex VNTG “Poison Green”

Nike Air Vortex VNTG Poison Green

Of 2012′s Nike Air Vortex VNTG ‘Summer Pack’, three featured eye-catching high-contrast colorways. The other two were relatively subdued with a monotone suede and nylon mix, which means this newest pair is somewhere in the middle if closer to the latter duo. Even with the focused color range, they might be the strongest style to date thanks to mesh on the toe and a bit more variation in green tones up top. Have a closer look below at the Poison Green Vintage Air Vortex, then grab yours from Nike Sportswear retailers like Overkill.

Loopwheeler x Nike Air Vortex Luxury

Loopwheeler x Nike Air Vortex Luxury

The pairing of Nike Sportswear and Japan’s Loopwheeler Fleece is a match so perfect, it’s crazy to think the closest most US sneakerheads have gotten to their premium cotton weaves over the past three-plus years has been on Air Force 1 Bespoke samples. Overseas connects can help secure some of this supremely comfortable gear, and it looks like you’ll need the same kind of hookups to get your hands on this Loopwheeler x Nike Air Vortex Luxury. These hit Nike Harajuku on February 1st, so stick with Sneaker News after you’ve seen more photos below in case they make it stateside.

Nike Air Vortex VNTG – White – Khaki – Varsity Red

Nike Air Vortex VNTG White Khaki Varsity Red

There are indeed two different Vintage Vortexes available from Nike Sportswear at the moment, but there’s no need for confusion. The Vortex Vintage Lunar is a classic silhouette riding a LunarLon cushion (in contrast to the entirely updated LunarMax Vortex), while the Nike Air Vortex VNTG is your classic V-Series runner made all the more old school by a pre-yellowed sole and the arrangements of mostly subdued tones on the upper. The glossy Varsity Red branding is a nice exclamation point on an otherwise hushed design, and they’re available now at Overkill.

Nike Air Vortex – Fall 2012 Colorways

Nike Air Vortex Fall 2012 Colorways

The Nike Air Vortex got off to a huge start at the beginning of May, issuing five VNTG series colorways ranging from classically simple to new and neckbreaking. This 1980s favorite returns for Q3 with another quartet of new colorways, this time uniformly meeting the expectation you’d have from this ‘fall’ season. All four are fairly dark, the ‘brightest’ of the bunch possibly the first candidate for the elusive ‘Triple Grey’ nickname. The rest are all fairly dark but lightly distressed suedes and off-white midsoles make for softer impacts than you’d get from more saturated colors. Click through so you can see the whole set then decide which one(s) to pre-order in advance fo the July drop from Titolo.

Nike Air Vortex VNTG ‘Summer Pack’

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Aaron Hope

Nike Air Vortex VNTG Summer Pack

A few days back, Sneaker News showed you three new Nike Air Vortex VNTG colorways that’d just arrived at a Nike Sportswear dealer in Europe. Elsewhere in the Old Country, two others have also arrived to bring the total to five, and that means the range of colorways is sure to have something for everyone. Each of these are constructed as they should be, from suede, mesh and nylon just as the originals did some three decades ago, and mild pre-yellowing on the midsoles reflects the aging process. Between these, the Size? exclusives and that Fresh Mint/Voltage Cherry pair, the Euro zone is killing it with Vintage Air Vortexes; is one of this new quartet available now from Asphalt Gold the best yet?

Nike Air Vortex VNTG – Fresh Mint – Voltage Cherry

Nike Air Vortex VNTG Fresh Mint Voltage Cherry

While the rest of Nike Sportswear’s V-Series retro runners are rapidly fading into our memories of 2011, the Nike Air Vortex seems poised for another lap this spring. Size? announced an exclusive VNTG Air Vortex for February just before another blue pair hit just a couple days ago, and now the above pictured release means that along with the Anthracite and orange joints we showed you just before the turn of the year, there’ll be at least four new pairs this quarter. Fresh Mint and Voltage Cherry come together on this newest look to give a crisp minty watermelon appeal that’ll keep you cool long into the summer. Get ready for the conditions outside to get brighter by reflecting the same springtime renewal with your sneaker wardrobe and grab these at select NSW retailers like Titolo.

Nike Air Vortex VNTG Varsity Royal Metallic Silver

We told you at the tail end of last year that the Nike Air Vortex would be back around for 2012, a prophecy that has so far been fulfilled. Having already given you a look at an impending pack featuring the full trio from the V-Series, we’re back again with a new colorway way of the Nike Air Vortex with the VNTG embellishments. As is always the case when dealing with the faux-vintage look, there’s a bit of a rough around the edges aura about these, but they are far from dingy thanks to the metallic silver that blazes across the side and the bright varsity royal that wraps the upper. We’ve got the full shots for you after the jump, so check those out and hit up End to get a pair now.
