Nike MetCon 2 Strong Steel 1 Nike MetCon 2 Strong Steel 2 Nike MetCon 2 Strong Steel 3 Nike MetCon 2 Strong Steel 4 Nike MetCon 2 Strong Steel 5 Nike MetCon 2 Strong Steel 6

Back in January Nike introduced the Nike Metcon 2, the sequel to their new cross-trainer that was introduced in early 2015.

Today we take a look at the newest colorway that will be releasing on March 7th known as the Strong As Steel. According to Nike this colorway represents the potential of metal at its most malleable. Bold color and clear intentions infuse the series with intensity. The Nike Metcon 2 features a flat, stable platform and dual-density foam for stability and cushioning during intense workouts. Firm and sticky rubbers create durable traction and extra support.

Pick yours up directly from nike.com or other select Nike retailers beginning on March 7th for $140.

Best part about this colorway is the marbled outsole. Reminds me of a few of the colorways of the KD 8 that have released. And bright kicks are always good for the gym.

Gold Leaf Graces The Nike Internationalist

Nike Internationalist Nike Internationalist 1 Nike Internationalist 2

The women’s iteration of the Nike Internationalist is introduced in another bold colorway this season, following a recent color block finish.

Constructed of breathable mesh across its base in grey, the upper is supplemented with bright golden yellow suede overlays prominently on the toe cap, eye stays and heel. Additional black accents adorn the leather heel tab, heel counter and outsole, while subtle lemon drop hits on the Swoosh branding, tongue label and rear to further add vibrance to its appealing profile.

Finished off with grey laces and a clean white midsole unit, you can find this pair at select Nike stores overseas first.

Author’s Take

Even though it’s officially listed for females, it’s still versatile for all genders in my view. I’m biased towards the profile and this colorway is pretty solid for spring/summer.

One of the best Nike sneakers that made the biggest splash in 2015 was the Nike Air Huarache. It seemed like everywhere you turned you saw men and women rocking the Tinker Hatfield-designed runner.

In 2016 we’ll see more of the same as we’ll be treated to plenty of new colorways of the Nike Air Huarache and other hybrid models inspired by the Huarache. In the images above you see different colorways of the OG Nike Air Huarache, the Nike Air Huarache Light, the Nike Air Huarache Ultra BR, and the Nike Air Huarache Ultra. Each silhouette comes in colorway options for both men and women.

What Huarache and colorway from the pairs pictured above are you looking forward to the most? Let us know down below and look for these Huaraches to release some time this Spring.

Author’s Take

I don’t really mess with the hybrid Huaraches and I like sticking to the original. Hopefully Nike releases some dope colorways so I can pick up a couple of pairs this year.

Four Models Create The Upcoming Nike Phantom Pack

Nike Phantom Pack 1 Nike Phantom Pack 2 Nike Phantom Pack 3 Nike Phantom Pack 4 Nike Phantom Pack 5 Nike Phantom Pack 6 Nike Phantom Pack 7 Nike Phantom Pack 8 Nike Phantom Pack 9

The Nike Phantom Pack is a collection consisting of four different Nike models. The Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Odyssey, Nike Air Pegasus New Racer and Nike Internationalist (not pictured) all come in tonal offerings to create the Phantom theme behind the pack.

Different shades of creamy off-white suede and mesh take care of the uppers on all four pairs. Tonal branding, lining, laces and accents give the shoe a clean and smooth look. Accompanying the tonal look of the shoe is the white midsole/gum outsole combination that effortlessly gives the shoe a classic and vintage aesthetic. Available overseas, it’s only a matter of time before we see these stateside. Are you looking forward to seeing these drop? If so, which pair do you think is the best looking? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I feel like a similar look like the one you see above is done ever single year. Not to say I don’t like it, it just seems a bit repetitive in my opinon. They’re cool, but I’m going to have to pass on them.

Nike Flyknit Racer 2 Nike Flyknit Racer Nike Flyknit Racer 1

Following its official reveal last month, the latest variation of the Nike Flyknit Racer in Fireberry is set to drop at retailers tomorrow.

Suited for the warm season ahead, the sneaker’s defining hue is essentially predominant across intricately knitted upper, tongue and laces. Additional hits of volt are intertwined throughout entire composition and Swoosh branding to further add vibrance to its already eye-catching profile.

Offering maximum breathability, comfort and a lightweight feel, the model rests atop a full-length sole unit in contrasting shades of black and white. You can purchase this vibrant pair at select Nike stockists on March 4th for a retail price tag of $150.

I’m biased towards this silhouette. I just admire its design a lot and build. This colorway is too bright for my taste though but ladies should consider.

The Nike Air Force 1 High OG Now Comes In Summit White And Black

Nike Air Force 1 High 1 Nike Air Force 1 High 2 Nike Air Force 1 High 3 Nike Air Force 1 High 4

Ever since Nike decided to bring back a remastered OG version of the Nike Air Force 1 High, it seems as if they release a brand new colorway every other week. The last colorways we’ve covered consisted of a white/OG Team Red and a Black and White version. This time around the Nike Air Force 1 High OG comes in a Summit White paired up with hits of black to give the shoe that classic and vintage look.

The pictures above show the shoe constructed out of a white premium leather upper accented by the hits of black found on the ankle strap, outsole, tongue branding, OG branding on the heel and Nike Swoosh. White laces and a white midsole complete the crisp look of the shoe. Available internationally, expect to see these stateside in the coming weeks. Cop or not? Let me know what you think.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the OG Air Force 1, just not in this colors, it’s a little too plain for my taste. I’d much rather pick up this pair.

NBA 2K16 Kicks: Nike Air Foamposite Pro Pure Platinum

In a bit of surprising news, the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Pure Platinum is dropping tomorrow, a few days ahead of its original release date. The Yeezy-inspired colorway (because what else could it be other than a Kanye troll?) will no doubt be as popular as the other Foams that have dropped with a backstory. It’s got everything a sneakerhead could want from the clean Pure Platinum Foam shell to the glow-in-the-dark outsole. The only that’s missing is for us to bring the game to NBA 2K16 and have take a bunch of screenshots with J.R. Smith doing well, J.R. Smith things. Like take ill-advised three-pointers from Steph Curry distance and celebrate when it miraculously goes in. Wait, what?

The Pure Platinum Foams translate nicely into the game. There a few inconsistencies like the carbon fiber shank and the tongue and heel tabs not matching up 1:1 to the real shoe, but the most important part is that Foam upper and the swoosh look great in the game itself. With few colors to really mess around with, you’ll have this sneaker in your game in no time flat.

Three New Nike Huaraches Make Suede And Gum Look So Good


Tinker Hatfield’s 1991 classic, the Nike Air Huarache, came back in a major way in 2013 with a number of OG styles mixing in with a few new classics. The past two and a half years have seen a plethora of the neoprene mesh slip-on running model testing out various premium materials, and today we get a look at three new women’s exclusives. The tonal pastel inclinations are perfect for the looming Spring 2016 season, as a suede and breathable mesh upper showcase shades of olive, violet, and light blue uppers paired with classic gum outsoles for a lifestyle twist.

First Look At The Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Multicolor 2.0

NIKE AIR FORCE 1 MID FLYKNIT 1 NIKE AIR FORCE 1 MID FLYKNIT 2 NIKE AIR FORCE 1 MID FLYKNIT 3

 

What did you think about the multicolor colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Mid? I’ve heard that one of the main reasons people weren’t feeling the shoe as much as they thought they would was because of the white accents found on the sole, eyestay, tongue and strap. If you’re one of the people who passed on the shoe for that very reason, you’re probably going to like the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Multicolor 2.0 better than the first multicolor offering.

This time around the Flyknit on the upper comes in a multicolor offering made up of Crimson, Court Purple and Volt. Instead of white, the base of the shoe opts to come in a black motif to give the shoe a new look. The only part that remained white was the midsole. Is this a look that you prefer on the mid-top? Said to be already be available internationally, these should arrive stateside in the near future.

via: asphaltgold


Author’s Take

I prefer this black-based pair over the white-based pair any day of the week. I could see myself in a pair of these, but if I were to nitpick, I’d probably ask for a brighter Flyknit upper.

The Nike Kyrie 2 Brotherhood is only a few day away from releasing. Today we take a look at the official images of the shoe courtesy of Nike.

This latest colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2 shows love to his college alma mater, Duke University. Although his tenure at Duke was short lived (1 year, 11 games due to injury), there’s no denying that Kyrie still has plenty of love for his school. The Brotherhood colorway is said to be inspired by the Blue Devils away colors as it comes in a cobalt Hyperfuse upper paired up with black and white hits found on the sole and midfoot strap. Branding appears on the strap, midsole and heel of the shoe. Arriving at retailers March 5th for $125, let us know how many of you are planning to pick up a pair.

NIKE AIR MAX BW ULTRA 1 NIKE AIR MAX BW ULTRA 2 NIKE AIR MAX BW ULTRA 3 NIKE AIR MAX BW ULTRA 4 NIKE AIR MAX BW ULTRA 5 NIKE AIR MAX BW ULTRA 6

More and more colorways of the Nike Air Max BW Ultra keep popping up, and the latest Nike Air Max BW Ultra is sure to be a popular option for the spring season. Let’s go on ahead and get a closer look as this Ultra version of the classic Air Max BW.

The Nike Air Max BW Ultra is a modernized version of the classic sneaker due to the fact that is comes with a lighter and hollowed out sole unit paired up with a Hyperfuse mesh construction on the upper to reduce the weight of the shoe even more. The build of the shoe also makes it more breathable and comfortable compared to the original. This particular colorway comes in a Enamel Gree upper contrasted by the white accents found throughout. Said to already be dropping internationally, we will let you know once these drop stateside. Retail price is $130.

By now we’re all tired of wearing boots and heavier winter-appropriate sneakers, and ready to transition to our summer rotations as soon as the weather allows it.

The Nike Lunar Flow Is Making A Return

We never saw a Nike Lunar Flow retro happening, but it’s been four years since Nike Sportswear managed to captivate somewhat of an audience with the Air Flow’s new-aged Lunarlon protégé. For the original enthusiasts, the Nike Air Flow released in 1989 and serves as somewhat of a precursor to all of the neoprene love found in such classics as the Nike Air Huarache, Nike Sock Racer, and NSW’s later profound entries like the Sock Dart and Presto to some extent. 2012 saw both a Lunarlon rendition and OG installment return, with the Lunar featuring attention-grabbing outsole colors with a more subdued monochromatic leather upper offerings. The change of pace was met with open arms by most and we predict the same can be said about this year’s entires. Check out a brief preview thanks to the folks over at Size? and stay tuned for a release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.

The Nike Kobe 11 colorways just continue to get better and better with every release as we now get a detailed look at the upcoming Bruce Lee colorway that was made popular by the Nike Zoom Kobe 5.

Utilizing the popular combination of yellow and black that Bruce Lee is known for, this Kobe 11 has been hit with University Gold on the Flyknit material on the front half of the sneaker as well as on the laces. Contrasting touches of Black then cover the back half of the Flyknit upper, the tongue, inner liner and translucent outsole. Finishing things off are hits of University Red on the Flywire on the side panels, the Kobe logo on the tongue, and the scratch marks on the heel that symbolize Bruce Lee?s wounds in the ?Enter the Dragon? movie.

Scheduled to release on March 19th at select Nike retailers for a retail price of $200, what are your thoughts on the Nike Kobe 11 Bruce Lee?

Author’s Take

Easily my favorite colorway of the Kobe 11 so far along with the debut Achilles Heel version. I hope I’m able to pick these up for a few dollars below retail down the line.

It kinds of looks like the Nike Lunar Flyknit Chukka, only with a different collar construction, which I really don’e like. Looks comfy though, and that’s what really matters when you’re running.
