Nike’s upcoming LeBron 13 release for March 9th dabbles in a bit of biochemistry as it features a logo of some molecule on the heels of the shoes. It may represent C4H6, or Butadiene, which is an important chemical used in the production of synthetic rubber, and as last year’s LeBron 12 “Rubber City” attested to, Akron (LeBron’s hometown) is a city known for its rubber production. These are set for a release next Tuesday, so get a detailed look here and in the meantime, check out the latest on the LeBron 13 Low.

Were you able to pick up a pair of the Air Jordan 12 The Master this past weekend? Many thought that this would be a fairly easy pick-up just like almost every other Air Jordan release has been lately, but surprisingly that wasn’t the case.

Some people that were able to pick up their pair through nike.com received some bad news soon after like Twitter user @DavidLinsanity. He posted the picture below which is an email he received from Nike stating that they had to cancel his order of the 12s because the “orders placed exceeded our inventory.” Huh?

Wow really.. You can't fulfill my order? @nikestore @Jumpman23 … @J23app #jordan12s pic.twitter.com/9uTFUUTFm1

But it’s not all bad news. In order to make up for their mishap Nike is setting aside a pair of the upcoming Air Jordan 12 French Blue that releases on March 26th in his size as well as a 20% off discount code that can even be used on Air Jordans.

What are your thoughts on Nike’s mistake and how they’re making up for it?

Despite a few years between first and last releases, the trio of “Yeezy” inspired Foamposites is finally complete. While the sneaker has an official release date of March 12th, it looks like this “Pure Platinum” version will be available earlier than expected at certain retailers. This release marks the first of many anticipated Foamposite Pro colorways of 2016, like the return of “Varsity Red” and “Royal”. Only time will tell if this colorway causes the same kind of hype as the two previous Yeezy Foamposite releases, but due to the name it’s safe to say that they probably will. If you’re looking to cop before the hype takes over, look out for the sneaker to release this Friday, March 4th.

Yesterday was all about the NikeLab Air Force 1 Low and Mid, but today the NikeLab Air Flight ’89 takes center stage. We just gave you official images of the Light Charcoal colorway and now we present the Urban Haze rendition.

This NikeLab Air Flight ’89 features a olive green tonal upper done in premium leather just like the NikeLab Air Force 1 Low and Mid that were showcased yesterday. A traditional white midsole/outsole unit keeps things clean down below with Nike branding on the outsole appearing in black.

At the moment this NikeLab Air Flight ’89 is scheduled to release on March 3rd at NikeLab and select Nike retailers.

I like how Nike/NikeLab are attempting to give us a luxurious take of the Air Flight ?89 but I?m just not a fan of the silhouette no matter the colorway or materials that are used.

Springtime is almost here, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods when it comes to keeping warm. In this edition of the Game Plan by Champs Sports, we’re taking a look at the Nike Hybrid Fleece Windrunner which features the the benefits of lightweight windbreaker-style jacket mixed with the stylish and functional Nike performance Tech Fleece that has been earning rave reviews since they first debuted.

Nike Air Max Day takes places on March 26th and it looks like the Swoosh will be celebrating it in a big way this year.

A new page just launched on nike.com advertising what they’re calling “Air Max Con” which will be taking place in New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong. So what exactly is Air Max Con? Here is how Nike describes it.

This multi-day sneaker convention will bring sneaker lovers together on an epic journey through the heritage, design and innovation story of Air Max. Step into the shoes of a designer, meet the Masters of Air and share your experience with the sneaker community.

Sounds like a fun-filled few days that guide you through the history, present and future of Nike’s legendary line. It’s still unclear when Air Max Con will take place, but registration for NYC opens on March 8th. Visit the site here for more information and updates.

Adding to the Light Charcoal colorways of the NikeLab Air Force 1 Low and Mid that we showed you yesterday, we have now found out that Nike will also be releasing a matching NikeLab Air Flight ’89 on the same day.

Utilizing the same light shade of grey as the two pairs of NikeLab Air Force 1s, this NikeLab Air Flight ’89 keeps things tonal on the upper as the shoe uses premium leather all throughout. The only hit of contrast comes courtesy of a White midsole/outsole. Unlike the Air Force 1s, the NikeLab Air Flight ’89 does not come with the icy blue translucent outsole.

You can expect this colorway along with the Urban Haze version to release on March 3rd but if anything changes we’ll be sure to let you know.

The Nike Air Presto has been one of Nike Sportswear’s best bring backs for the past few months, with the neoprene slip-on upper once heralded as a ‘t-shirt for your feet’ returning in a number of awesome OG colorways to restore some nostalgia. Now the Nike Presto is making a reference to atmos’ iconic Nike Air Max 1 “Safari” collaboration, a pair that recently returned with some minor changes of its own in terms of material construction and outsole selection. A bold high-contrast Safari graphic consumes most of the upper while unique accents like Kumquat and a “String” green hit the synthetic cage support system. The Nike Air Presto “Safari” will arrive at retailers this Saturday, March 5th for $130 USD. More official photos below.

Kevin Durant‘s remaining time in Oklahoma City is drawing quite the commotion as an off-season of free agency has rumors abound about a potential Golden State signing. In the meantime, KD has batted down the rumors and focused on securing the third seed in a loaded Western Conference. But why not release a pair of Nike KD 8s that would manage to translate over to the Dubs quite nicely? The latest KD 8 “Photo Blue”, out this weekend, does just that thanks to a White/Midnight Navy-Photo Blue Flyweave base complete with synthetic ostrich leather on the tongue for an added premium touch. It’s a simple alternate “Home” look that’s clean enough to wear off-court too. This pair, like this weekend’s Nike KD 8 EXT “Vachetta Tan”, is slated to release on Saturday, March 5th for $180 USD. Check out a detailed look below and pick up this pair right now via eBay.

Nike Running is showing Lunarlon some love with their upcoming “Lunar Midnight” Pack. The trio includes some of their most technologically savvy running silhouettes featuring the premium Lunar ride including the Nike LunarTempo 2, the Nike LunarGlide 7, and the Nike Flyknit Lunar 3.

In addition to recently featured Vachetta Tan colorway, the traditional iteration of the Nike KD 8 is set to arrive in another new finish as well.

Punctuated by bold tones of navy and photo blue, these contrasting shades are visibly prominent on the outsole, inner lining, threading across its intricately woven upper that ensures comfort and breathability, as well as the signature branding located on the tongue label, alongside Swooshes located on the side panels.

To perfectly complement its palette, white is utilized across its majority, particularly the upper, tongue, flywire system, laces and midsole unit. Retailing for $180, find a pair at Nike retailers this Saturday, March 5th.
