Inspired by steel in its molten state, the latest Nike Metcon 2 gets a red-hot colorway this spring. The popular Nike high-intensity training shoe in the “Strong as Steel” colorway represents how the body is malleable just like steel, ready to become strong with the right amount of work. The Total Crimson upper is accented with a black marbled sole for the most eye catching edition of the trainer yet. The Metcon 2 “Strong as Steel” releases March 7th at Nike.com and select Nike Training retailers.

Tinker Hatfield’s contributions to the sneaker industry are as vast as they are iconic, with his time at the Swosh bringing additions like visible air, some of the most important Jordan signature silhouettes, and a little series known as the Huarache imprint. 1991 brought the original running model, the Nike Air Huarache, to the forefront as a heavy dose of neoprene mesh, a unique heel cage, and a comfortable ride unlike any other on the market. Since then, people have become infatuated with the Huarache series all over again thanks to Nike Sportswear revitalizing the series with other retros like the Nike Air Huarache Light, and newer renditions such as the Nike Huarache Ultra. Spring 2016 will bring nearly 15 new colorways and we have a brief preview for you courtesy of the folks over at atmos. Be sure to check out a full glimpse into what Spring 2016 has in store for the numerous Huarache models and let us know which pair is your favorite by taking your thoughts to our comments section.

The Air Force 1, Flyknit, and the famous multi-color motif all combine once again. This time it’s an AF1 Mid and a black-based rainbow colorway, which obviously goes for a darker look than the previous white-based multi-color Mid, but stays much the same as the low-top multi-color rendition. Once again built atop the cored-out ‘Ultra’ tooling, the light and breathable Flyknit Air Force 1 becomes the perfect summer time version of the iconic silhouette. There’s still no word on an official release date for the Air Force 1 Mid Flyknit “Multi-Color”, but pairs are arriving now overseas, so expect them soon here in the US.

The future of Nike running is here as the all-new LunarEpic Flyknit shoe officially debuts at retail. Featuring a mid-height collar design and a retooled Flyknit upper, this LunarEpic Flyknit offers up superior comfort and stability with inspiration taken from 2014’s revolutionary Magista football boot. The new Lunar outsole achieves incredible comfort thanks to some new manufacturing methods – specifically the dual-injection mold and the heat-bonded layers. The rubber-less outsole instead features “laser-siped geometric pistons”, which provides targeted support based off heat-mapped images of the human foot. Learn more about the all-new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit on Nike.com and purchase one of sixteen colorways available now for both men and women.

Nike’s All Conditions Gear was brought back in autumn of 2014 but in a way that nobody could have expected. Instead of blessing the masses with retro releases right off the bat, Nike introduced a bolstered NSW-like offering full of apparel gear paired with Chukkas for a city-like twist on the once formidable outdoors imprint. This year has seen such classics as the Air Mowabb hit shelves and now this Nike Air Moc, a 1994 installment of Nike’s ACG series, is back. The model features a new addition of a Tech Fleece constructed upper for added comfort and style. A marbled grey or black will match your favorite slim sweats while the outsole utilizes a rugged pattern for extra grip. No word yet on when each pair will be available stateside, but you can pick up your favorite right now from international retailers like Foot Patrol.

Aside from the Dunk High and Max iteration of this classic Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski, the silhouette is also treated in the colorful Cherry Blossom finish.

Donning a palette of Sail/White-Hyper Pink/Black, the popular skateboarding sneaker receives a premium build with smooth suede across its upper in the pristine-like tone. With the defining theme prominent on the component as well, the notable contrasting black accents consists of tree branches, while the vivid pink pops are essentially the blossomed flowers.

Finished off with matching laces and clean white hits evidenced with the embroidered Swoosh logo and full-length rubber sole unit, you can find this pair at select Nike retailers now, while supplies last.

I’m a fan of the model’s simplistic profile. The print is pretty sweet as well, but I really the overall colorway utilized. If you’re a big fan of the model, you should consider purchasing.

The classic Nike Roshe Run has come in countless graphics, designs and versions. Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, they come out with yet another brand new look, this time covering the upper with sketches and drawings of different types of items.

Coming in either white/black or black/white, the printed upper has drawings and sketches of items such as hands, pine trees, cones and doodles, just to list a few. The shoe is completed by adding a white sole unit and a contrasting Nike Swoosh on the side panels. Tonal laces and inner lining complete the look of the shoe. Said to be dropping internationally sometime this month, we can expect to see these stateside shorty after.

It’s different. It’s cool. I have way too many Roshes though. I have to pass this time around.

Ever since the Nike Air Max BW Ultra was unveiled it has always released in tonal solid colorways with either no more than a few colorways on its upper. While this new version of the shoe may not be filled with multiple colors, it does manage to get a new look by way of the graphics placed on the upper.

The updated Nike Air Max BW Ultra gives the original 1991 Tinker Hatfield creations a more lighter and comfortable feel. The shoe comes in a mesh upper fused with synthetics overlays to give the overall look of the shoe a more sleek design. Adding another dimension to the shoe are the vector like graphics placed all over the upper of the shoe. This first graphic-equipped colorway comes in a Black and University Red motif to give it that classic and beloved look. Said to be releasing very soon, you will be able to pick up your very own pair for $135.

The graphics on the upper is a change that I could do without. Personally, I think the shoe looks better without them. The model is cool, but I’ll pass on the graphic versions.

Bling bling (shout out to Young Weezy). That’s the first word that came to mind when I saw this iced out Nike Air Max TN custom. What makes this a custom you say? How about the fact that CBD Jewellers in Australia decided to place four-carat diamonds set in white gold on top of the Nike Swoosh branding of the shoe. Yeah, that just happened.

So how much is this one of a kind Nike Air TN custom go for?  According to Sneaker Freaker the shoe are currently being sold for $4,735. This is definitely a pricey custom. With Air Max Day right around the corner, this definitely a shoe that will help you stand out from the pack.

The Nike Air Max BW Ultra is considered a men’s sneaker, but we’re quite sure that it’s common to see a woman wearing a pair. Now, Nike has decided to give the women their very own colorways as they’ve recently unveiled three upcoming offerings made exclusively for the women.

Judging by the pictures above, the shoe looks to be exactly very similar looking to the men’s version. The only noticeable difference lies in the colors the shoe comes in. The first three tonal colorways the women will be able to choose from consist of uppers made out of orange, grey or royal blue hues sitting on top of the BW Air Max sole unit. Said to be dropping in the near future? Are you ladies looking forward to this release? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m curious to see if Nike altered the shoe in any way, shape or form. Or did they just give the women exclusive colorways. Either way, the colorways are clean. I can dig it.

The Nike KD 8 PBJ is almost here and today we have the official images of the shoe to hold you off unit you get a pair. As we’ve stated before, unfortunately this colorway of the Nike KD 8 will only be available in GS sizing, so unless you manage to squeeze into a pair, most of us are going to have to sit on the sidelines this time around.

The shoe’s theme is inspired by Kevin Durant’s favorite childhood snack, the beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The purple jelly theme on the shoe is found on its dipped upper, while the peanut butter inspiration is placed on the gum colored outsole. Releasing March 10th at select nationwide retailers for $140, how many grade school-footers are looking to pick up?

Author’s Take

It may be a kids release, but I still like it damn it! The jelly splash graphic is dope and the used of the sole as the peanut butter is clever. Since I can’t get a pair in my size, I’ll just go make me an actual PBJ sandwich.

The Nike Air Classic BW is getting all kinds of love for its 25th anniversary. A shoe once cemented firmly between two other classic visible Air models in the Air Max 90 and Air Max 95, the 1991 Tinker silhouette has stood the test of time thanks to a devoted fanbase overseas and renewed interest here in the states. For the unfamiliar, the BW stands for ‘Big Window’ in reference to the oversized visible air unit which was, at the time, the largest Air Max unit to be featured on a running model. Nike Sportswear has updated the sleek design with the Nike Air Classic BW Ultra in an effort to shed some extra weight. A mesh upper is fused with synthetic overlays for a sleek design complete with a new vector-like graphic that’s sure to turn heads. The debut colorway features a timeless combination of Black and University Red for good measure. What do you think of the look? The pair will be available soon from Nikestore for $135 USD.

At the beginning of the year we learned that Finish Line is set to close 25% of their retail stores over the next couple of years. Now we’ve learned that Sports Authority Inc will not only be closing its doors, but it also plans on filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy today as they plan on closing 140 stores in the next three months.

NASDAQ has reported that the sporting good retailer decided to file for bankruptcy due to the fact that they owe Nike $48 million dollars  as well as $23 million to Under Armour. The Sports Authority website posted up a press release written by company CEO Michael Foss. In the press release he explains why he decided to “utilize the Chapter 11 process to implement a financial and operational restructuring,” all while avoiding using the word “bankruptcy”.

He goes on to say:

“Due to the changing retail environment, we have a long-term plan to streamline and strengthen our business so we can continue to make necessary investments in our operations, including upgrading our in store experience and enhancing our website. As part of that plan, we have identified approximately 140 stores that we intend to close or sell in the coming months.”
