Designed as the definition of a minimalist running shoe, the Nike Mayfly racer stripped down the shoe to its barest essentials, so much so that it was only intended to last around 62 miles of running. The ultra lightweight Tyvek upper has now been switched up to a more durable textile material for these ‘Premium’ editions this spring, taking the silhouette from the races to the streets for everyday wear. The Mayfly releases in these three colorways you see here, including red, white, and blue options all intricately striped with black. Unfortunately for Stateside fans of the Mayfly, this spring’s premium editions are exclusive to European Nike Sportswear accounts only.

Earlier this week we showed you the Nike Running Lunar “Midnight Pack” containing the LunarTempo 2, Lunarglide 7, and Flyknit Lunar 3. But what you didn’t see?because Nike hadn’t unveiled it yet?was the brand-new LunarEpic Flyknit with the same “Midnight” colorway. Just unveiled and released yesterday, the innovative LunarEpic Flyknit with a high-cut Flyknit collar and dual-density Lunarlon foam sole also receives the Midnight look with a mix of black and Anthracite for the Flyknit upper with Barely Green soles and Metallic Pewter accents. The bold new runner and the rest of the Midnight Pack can be purchased now from Nike.com and select Nike Running retailers.

New looks keep coming in for the Nike KD 8, with this version in Wolf Grey up next. Going for a more neutral look than many of the vibrant colorways we’ve seen for Kevin Durant’s eighth signature shoe so far, the all-grey Flyweave upper is paired with a gum rubber outsole for a clean and classy look on or off the court. No release date for the “Wolf Grey” KD 8 is available yet, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for further details.

One of the finer details of the Kobe 11 signature shoe is the right heel of the shoe. Every release features a different emblem of some sort that represents a different phase of the Black Mamba, but this upcoming orange/grey/black pair with a skull logo has us all scratching our heads. We’re certain the inspiration of that feature will surface soon, but quite honestly it’s much more entertaining to be surprised by these innovative details. More angles are just ahead, so flip through them and we’ll let you know when these will exactly hit store; they’re currently rumored for a March 25th release, but that’s not confirmed quite yet.

Nike continues to drop even more Air Force 1 Highs with that “original” flavor. After debuting in the OG white/silver colorway several seasons back, the Swoosh brand has continued with an unrelenting string of AF1 Highs in neat colorways packaged with a simple all-white synthetic leather upper and a supporting secondary color unit on the Swoosh, sole, and strap. Tomorrow, select shops in Europe and Asia will release a basic (in a positive way) take on the high-top shoe with a simple black acting as the contrasting hit – a swift reverse from the black/white version that hit stores last month. U.S. release info hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but our friends across the Atlantic will have first dibs tomorrow.

A sock-like running sneaker with Nike Flyknit? Of course the Undercover Gyakusou imprint would get their hands on it. The Japanese label, known to add its unique aesthetic with prints and dark, woodsy colors, is back at it with Nike’s proud new running shoe called the LunarEpic Flyknit – an innovate new performance silhouette that features a co-molded Lunar sole and a reengineered Flyknit upper inspired by 2014’s Magista boot. Gyakusou’s take appears for men and women – the former in the signature red and dark navy colorway, and the latter in a lighter white/cream arrangement. On the heel you will find a ribbon reading Gyakusou International Running Association that traces from heel to the tip of the mid-height ankle collar. Grab a detailed look below and we’ll let you know when these become available.

One of the most iconic shoes of 1996 and perhaps of all-time is finally back in stores. That would be the Nike Air More Uptempo, the gaudy AIR-branded sneaker commonly seen on the feet of MJ’s teammate Scottie Pippen throughout that season and during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, GA. There are certainly more colorways on the way, but the black/white pair is kicking things off as Foot Locker reports a stock right now (their Launch Locator will tell you precisely which locations). Not to worry – other sneaker boutiques have plans of selling them in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates.

Alongside the recently featured women’s iteration, the newly-introduced men’s Nike Air Max BW Ultra in Navy is showcased in more detail, following its official reveal.

Essentially a modernized iteration of the lineage which celebrates its 25th anniversary, this variation of the silhouette incorporates an upgraded upper comprised of Hyperfuse that exudes a sleeker and lighter build, while still maintaining the classic appeal of its original 1991 counterpart.

Dark blue consists as the primary tone gracing the base, tongue and laces, while accents of hyper cobalt are applied on the inner lining, encompassing along the mudguard and rear portion of its sole unit.

All resting atop a clean white midsole with its distinctive air bubble component in the heel, the sneaker is finished off with perforations on the rear and its respective Swoosh logos.

You can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers now for $130.

I’m a fan of the AM lineage overall. It’s nice to see this model revamped and the colorway is pretty versatile as well. This silhouette should get more attention this year.

A luxurious iteration of the classic Nike Cortez is presented, as it receives an understated finish of Dark Obsidian this season.

Maintaining its sleek and simplistic profile, the model is comprised of plush suede across its entire upper for a premium build. The subdued tone flows towards the inner lining, tongue and laces to execute a stealthy-like aesthetic. A notable element is the utilization of miniature perforations to define the brand’s Swoosh logo on the side panels.

To round out its design, clean white accents are applied on the rubber sole unit in addition to metallic lace tips. You can find the model at select Nike stores overseas now.

These next two versions of the Nike Sock Dart will come in a cozy looking Tech Fleece upper. Adding this signature fleece material on the upper manages to give the shoe a unique texture and appearance. The two new colorways donning the Tech Fleece look actually happen to release tomorrow. Let’s take a detailed look at both.

Both pairs will feature a two-toned colored upper that end up pairing two different colors of the Tech Fleece material. The first pair is done up in marbled grey and purple sitting on top of a white midsole, while the second pair comes in black and grey motif sitting on top of a grey midsole. Honestly, you really can’t go wrong with either pair. Releasing tomorrow, how many of you are planning on getting a pair of the Nike Sock Dart Tech Fleece

I love the look of the shoe, I don’t own any pairs of Sock Darts, but I think this would be a good time to pick up my first pair. The black and grey appears to be calling my name.

Even more images of the Air Yeezy 2-inspired colorway of this upcoming Nike Air Foamposite Pro is presented, as the model is set to make its arrival tomorrow.

Essentially flaunting Pure Platinum across its rugged upper defined by grooves, a slightly darker grey hue is applied on the eyelets, laces, pull tabs and tongue for a nice touch of contrast. Vibrant touches of Bright Crimson are implemented on the inner lining, while the Yeezy-esque theme is encapsulated with the addition of a translucent glow-in-the-dark outsole unit.

The Nike Mayfly is making a comeback, and it’s sure to be one of the most unique releases of the year. Unlike today’s sneakers which are built to last, the Mayfly actually has a limited lifespan.

When Nike originally released the shoe, it was built for a “One Day Fly”, in other words, it was meant to last only one race. Created for long distance runners, this model lightweight and flexible that it was built to only last an average of 100km before it starts ?self-destructing? and falling apart. There are several colorways set to release but today we take a look at the University Red option with hits of white placed all over the upper and sole of the shoe. No release date yet but let us know what you think about the shoe.

Even if it’s officially listed for females, the style and colorway on this pair is solid for males as well. I like the revamped composition and the design is timeless.

We know that Nike will not admit that this is another jab at Kanye but we all know the truth. Out of all three colorways that were inspired by the Yeezy 2 this is probably the most wearable and as a result the best. It?ll be a pass for me though.

Aside from the digi desert camo offering, the Nike Air Presto in the eye-catching Safari motif is set to make its debut starting this weekend.

Flaunting the bold design across the upper and tongue in tones of black and white, the neutral palette is complemented with tan and green accents evidenced on the synthetic lacing cage system, which also evokes the wildlife environment and essentially encapsulating the theme throughout its entirety.

Additionally detailed with orange accents gracing the laces and outsole, the sneaker is finished off with a white midsole unit and black accents on the translucent grey overlays on the toe cap and rear.

You can purchase this wild rendition of the silhouette at select Nike retailers on March 5th for $130.

Years ago I would consider purchasing, but I’m just over this print. The execution is pretty solid though. I’m still a fan of the design.
