The Nike LeBron 15 Fruity Pebbles Drops At The End Of The Month

By SoleInsider

Debuted by LeBron James himself last month, the Nike LeBron 15 Fruity Pebbles now has a release date.

This LeBron 15 features an array of colors all throughout the BattleKnit upper that resembles LeBron favorite cereal. White has then been placed on the laces, tongue and heel pull tabs, ankle, and midsole to provide some contrast against the colorful upper. An icy blue translucent outsole wraps up the look on this eye-catching colorway of the Bron 15 that is scheduled to release on March 30th for $185. Will this be a cop or a pass for you?

Nike Is Celebrating Air Max Day With A Special Sneaker Design Workshop

By SoleInsider

Nike Air Max Day is less than two weeks away and the Swoosh will be doing something different this year to celebrate the occasion.

From March 22 to April 15, Nike will be hosting Nike: ON AIR, a design workshop series in Paris, London, New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo that engages participants in the Nike footwear design processes. The program grants participants (no prior experience in product design is required) an opportunity to create the ultimate articulation of one of 10 Air Max silhouettes (Air Max 1, Air Max 90, Air Max 180, Air Max BW, Air Max 93, Air Max 95, Air Max 97, Air Max 98, Air Max 270, and the Air VaporMax Plus) for their city through creative sessions that will encompass the briefing, concept building and mood boarding stages of design.

In each city, the design brief begins with consideration of the local environment. Participants are asked to envision a new Air Max for their respective city, taking inspiration from what it means to them and their experiences in it. Nike designers, with help from guest mentors from the local creative community, guide the approach principles, which involve innovative problem solving, sustainable materials and manufacturing.

The day is shaped by the following five stages of footwear product creation:

1. Concept development: Participants will explore ideas and research the subject of the design brief and form the initial story behind their concept.

2. Silhouette selection: The program?s silhouettes will be revealed and, in partnership with Nike designers and guest mentors, the participants will select the one that best fits their respective concept.

3. Material exploration: Nike designers will lead a deep dive into material theory, exploring a variety of swatches to select the elements of the chosen silhouette?s upper.

4. Color exploration: Participants will get a lesson in color theory and be guided through the process of selecting colors that best express the intent of their concept.

5. Embellishment: Participants will learn about and apply post-embellishment techniques ranging from laser engraving to embroidery, the final steps in bringing their imagined vision to life.

Upon completion of the Nike: ON AIR program, each participant will submit their Air Max concept to a judging panel, including Nike designers and city ambassadors, who will select the top three designs from each city. From there, these concepts will be turned into 3D designs that will go to a global vote on nike.com/onair (in a style akin to last year’s Vote Forwardcampaign). The most-voted design per city will go into production and be made available at a later date.

The Nike Air Max 180 Celebrates The Impact Of Three Renowned Artists

By SoleInsider

More Air Max Day 2018 releases have just been announced. This trio of Air Max 180s celebrate the impact of Holtgreve, Morandini and Steadman?s art. Each artist gets their own Air Max 180 that’s said to be inspired by their 180 Air work from way back in 1991.

Alfons Holtgreve (German), produced a dynamic black-and-white abstract work suggestive of frenetic athletic activity. For the Holtgreve Air Max 180, a Black premium leather is contrasted by the textured White material to mimic the surface of paper and serves as a nod to the intricate paper cutting of the original artwork.

Marcello Morandini (Italian), offered a colorful mix of pattern and perspective. The Morandini Air Max 180 captures the color and energy of his artwork with mismatching aglets adding extra fun/humor to the design.

Ralph Steadman (Welsh) shared an illustration that mined Aesop?s Fables for inspiration (with 180 Air, the hare might actually have its day, he thought). Done in an OG Ultramarine theme, the model features a shaggy taupe suede upper detailed with Steadman?s artwork on the tongues.

All three Nike Air Max 180 colorways will release tomorrow, March 12th on Nike.com with pairs exclusive to NikePlus members in North America. Customization of three characters under the heel Swoosh is available for those who choose the option.
