Nike continues to push the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 as LeBron James has been wearing the sneaker ever since last season’s playoffs.
We’re expected to see more colorways drop this month with one of them being the pair you see above. This colorway of the LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 features a White mesh on the majority of the upper with Hyper Cobalt detailing on the ankle strap, Swoosh branding on the medial and lateral ankles, the LeBron logo on the midfoot strap, and the speckling that is seen on the bottom two straps. We can see definitely see the Kentucky Wildcats rocking these on court.
Look for this Hyper Cobalt colorway of the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 at select Nike retailers beginning on November 15th for a box price of $140. Do you plan on copping?

Author’s Take
It’s surprising to see how Nike continues to push the LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 instead of the LeBron 13. I’m sure none of us could have even imagined this would happen.
Nike Skateboarding’s shoe-box inspired Dunk series continues with perhaps the most anticipated of the bunch. The pink box from 2005, widely considered one of Nike’s most stylish shoeboxes ever, has transformed itself into the SB Dunk Low, with a reflective pink upper, black swooshes, and the shoe-box logo debossed into the heel. These are said to release on Black Friday, so check out additional photos below and let us know if these are the best of the shoebox Dunks.
The ACONRYM Nike Presto Utility was perhaps Nike Sportswear’s best collaborative effort of the year thanks to the conceptual design that we’ve come to anticipate from the German imprint. For those of you that missed out on the limited run, Nike Sportswear still plans on dropping new general release colorways of the Nike Air Presto Mid Utility throughout the Fall/Winter 2016 season and beyond with a new women’s exclusive colorway.
This Nike Presto Mid Utility features another monochromatic option in a tan shade known as “String” while Reflect Silver elements land on the tongue and heel tabs. Of course, the additional ankle support is accompanied by a new zipper for easy slip-on access for that ACRONYM-like look while a weather-resistant upper and traditional cage overlay bring a new spin on the retro classic with functional waterproofing. Check out more details below and be on the lookout for this women’s exclusive Nike Presto Mid Utility to arrive at retailers in the near future.

By SoleInsider
The Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Green Velvet has no ties to the holidays, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a highly coveted sneaker during these holiday months. Rocking a Green tonal upper, let’s take a closer look.
The shoe starts off with a Green Velvet upper that takes care of the entire base of the shoe. The same hue is found on the laces and lining. Giving it even more of a holiday theme is the Red plaid sockliner. Hits of Black are noted on the Nike Swoosh, while the all-White sole cleans things up a bit. Said to be dropping before Christmas, stay tuned to find out when you’ll be able to pick up a pair of these.

When it comes to the greatness of Kevin Durant, his achievements speak for themselves. From being the MVP of the 2014 NBA season to his countless All-NBA Team awards, these accomplishments reflect years of grueling drudgery in his earlier years. As a kid, Durant’s hometown of Baltimore, Maryland encountered harsh weather conditions during the winter but that wouldn’t stop Durant from pursuing his dreams. While practicing his shots out on the courts, his hands would freeze from the frigid temperatures and in an attempt to warm up his hands, he would often pour hot water on them.
The new Nike KD 9 “Fire and Ice” are inspired by this hardship on the court in his earlier days. The sneakers feature a red left shoe with a fiery graphic and a blue left shoe with an icy toe to represent the “Fire and Ice” concept from Durant’s humble beginnings. The sneakers are available now as a kid’s exclusive at select Nike Basketball retailers such as Solefly.
Is Nike Planning A Major Restock Event For Black Friday Weekend
By SoleInsider
Nike Brazil is planning a major restock for November 26th, the day after Black Friday, so does this mean that we’re in for another surprise from Nike.com and Nike SNKRS here in the states? All signs are pointing to the affirmative as Nike Brazil is restocking a random assortment of the year’s past releases highlighted by the Air Jordan 11 Low “Metallic Gold”. The eclectic release slate also features the HTM collaborative efforts of the Air Max LD-Zero, The Air Max 90 Superfly, and Air Max Ultra. The real story here is that rumors are swirling about the availability of the Acronym Nike Presto trio and the Supreme Air Max 98, each slated to arrive on the same day.
It’s still unknown what exactly Nike is planning for their November 26th release slate here in the states – it would make sense for NSW to bring back two of their most sought after collaborations of 2016 right before the year’s end for a nice holiday surprise – but only time will tell. You can check out the Swoosh’s Holiday 2016 plans in full by heading over to our always-updated release dates page. Photos of Nike Brazil’s restocks below.
So what exactly does this mean? Well it means that Nike has “beefed” up the classic runner to make it more suitable for the Fall and Winter seasons. How did they do that? They covered the shoe with a new water-resistant upper, and also placed a new rugged outsole to provide you with better traction.
Take a look at on-feet pics of this Olive Flax colorway above and let us know your thoughts on the new Nike Internationalist Utility. Do you plan on picking up a pair?
The cool thing about this sneakerboot version of the Internationalist is that it doesn’t look too different in comparison to the original. Let’s just hope that upper really is water-resistant.

The Nike LeBron/Kyrie Four Wins Pack Is Releasing Again At Foot Locker
By SoleInsider
The LeBron-Love-Kyrie partnership has never been stronger following the Cavaliers’ NBA championship this past June. It took contributions from all three players – LeBron’s career-defining block, Kyrie’s cold-blooded game-winning three, and Kevin Love’s defensive stopping of Steph Curry to win it all. Nike Basketball celebrated with the LeBron and Kyrie “Four Wins” Pack featuring four different combinations of the Kyrie 2 and LeBron Soldier 10 PEs that the two Swoosh stars laced up in each victory. Now we have some good news: The 4 Wins Pack Game 3 “Homecoming” selection just restocked today at Foot Locker’s 34th street location.
The Nike Basketball 4 Wins Pack “Game 3” honors the Cavaliers’ first win of the NBA Finals with a clean Kyrie 2 offering featuring a “Home” inclined white upper, head-turning metallic gold midsole, and contrasting elements of a Cavs’ themed wine Swoosh and icy bottom. The LeBron Soldier 10 utilizes the signature all black upper (whether this was inspired by LBJ’s love of the Undertaker remains to be seen) while an icy bottom keeps things in line with the Kyrie offering. Are you excited about your chance to grab the first offering from the Nike Basketball 4 Wins Pack? Check out more shots below and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

Oh, hey – this Kevin Durant guy is pretty good. Since joining the Golden State Warriors, a basketball team in the Western Conference that won 73 out of 82 regular season games last year, KD has been nothing short of his usual self, which includes averages of 28 ppg and 8 rbg. His Nike KD 9 has been a stellar performance model thanks to a 3/4 length Zoom-cushioned midsole unit, dynamic Flyknit upper for a malleable, ventilated fit, and unique mid-top ankle support that you just slip into.
The colorways have been releasing en masse since the start of the regular season with the likes of a KD 9 “Oreo” and KD 9 “Christmas” bridging the gap between on-court functionality and aesthetics that would work equally as well in a lifestyle context. This Niek KD 9 Dark Obsidian continues that momentum with the perfect pop of Hyper Turquoise on the visible Zoom midsole while shades of Dark Obsidian and a lighter slate blue gives the upper a 50/50 split. A metallic Swoosh finishes things off with a premium touch to contrast a stark black midsole.
Check out more photos of this upcoming KD 9 Dark Obsidian release and we’ll keep you in the loop on an official release date right here on Sneaker News.
Saying Goodbye To The Nike Vault With The Nike Kobe AD
By SoleInsider
This past summer, the Nike Vault closed its doors for the last time. The store, adjacent to the Staples Center, was a uh, staple of the L.A. Live experience throughout this decade, serving as a host to anything new Nike Los Angeles might having cooking, whether it be a new Kobe Bryant signature shoe launch, an appearance by stars like Blake Griffin and Chris Paul or the debut of the Nike+ experience. As somebody who has been inside the Vault countless times as a fan and a member of the media, it’s a little bittersweet to see the space become just a memory.
In a way, the Vault lived and died with Kobe. The Vault treated Mamba like royalty, as his signature product was always prominently featured inside the store. So many limited edition Kobe signatures dropped at The Vault before anywhere else and if you were that extreme Kobe collector that had to have everything, they were the store that produced a lot of the special packaging that left you in awe. Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial Speed Pack, I’m looking right at you…
As that space undergoes the process of becoming something totally different, we paid our respects to The Vault with Kobe’s latest signature shoe, the Nike Kobe AD Every Kobe signature shoe imaginable has stepped foot inside The Vault at some point in its history, so why not the latest? Think of it as the launch event inside The Vault that never happened. At least it’s a lot more sunny and less morbid than the actual AD launch with a figuratively dead Mamba.
The first colorway (pictured below) of the Nike Kobe AD drops on November 22 for $160.
Alongside the stellar Nike 12 Soles Collection for Holiday 2016, the Swoosh will be also unveiling a new Nike Air Uptempo Olive Pack.
Featuring the Air Max Tempo, Air Max Uptempo 97 and the Air Max Uptempo 2 (featured) — all three silhouettes are defined by a tonal suede composition colored in olive green. A crisp white rubber sole unit complements and tops off the respective palette overall.
The entire set is suggested to make its debut at select Nike retailers starting December 3.
I’ve always been a fan of this line. I haven’t purchased it in a while and I might do so now since I really like this colorway. This should garner enough attention overall.
