We’re as surprised at the upcoming Nike Hyperdunk retros as you are, but that’s not all that Nike Basketball has in store for their famed 2008 creation. The performance model made a name for itself back during the Redeem Team’s historic run to recapture Gold in the 2008 Olympics, and with the games coming up again in Rio this summer, Nike Sportswear has transformed the model into the Nike Hyperdunk Lux for the perfect mix of lifestyle sensibilities. Today we get a look at a new White/Gum colorway featuring a woven upper, overlaying Dynamic Flywire for lockdown support, a new patent leather mudguard, embossed Swoosh branding and a gum outsole. The whole look is similar to UNDFTD’s collaborative effort on the Hyperdunk 2012 “Bringback Pack”. What do you think of the colorway? Check out a better look at the Black/White choice below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date right here on Sneaker News.

Unofficially nicknamed ?Wu-Tang,? due to its colorway referencing the signature hues of the iconic hip-hop group, this Nike Air Foamposite One is set to be offered very soon, as more images of the silhouette are now revealed.

Depicting it on how it’s perceived when worn, the classic basketball sneaker is essentially draped in vibrant optic yellow across its molded upper. Tonal black offsets the profile which is prominent on the tongue, eye stays, inner lining and sole unit.

Priced at $230, you can purchase a pair at Nike retailers on Friday, June 24th.

Stay tuned in to our official Nike Air Foamposite One Wu-Tang launch page now for additional details.

This is one of my favorite bball silhouettes aside from Jordans. I?m a fan of the colorway, but it?s too bright for my taste. I?m sure these will garner a lot of attention ? on purpose or not.

A preview of what we can expect to see for the iconic Nike Dunk High this Fall 2016 is provided, as four colorways in particular are highlighted.

Showcased in tonal hues of blue, off-white, brown and green — the classic silhouette is essentially comprised of plush suede, which is depicted in a fused construction for a smoother and sleeker profile. Darker tones are applied on the Swoosh, collar section, laces and outsole for a complementing touch, as it’s finished off with a clean, white midsole unit.

You can expect to find these pairs at select Nike retailers in the coming weeks ahead.

Stay tuned for further updates.

I’ll always be a fan of this model since I’ve collected it often back then. These colorways are solid and I like the fused constructed upper overall.

Bruce Kilgore’s classic basketball model has become unrecognizable thanks to the transformation through modern day technologies. Take for instance, the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit. The silhouette remains somewhat unchanged, but thanks to bold interwoven colors and an Ultra Moire inspired outsole that carves out some of the extra weight, the model becomes a completely new creation. Three new colorways are coming to stores exclusive to a women’s size run, and each utilizes vibrant highlights on the tongue for head-turning colorways that are sure to heat up the summer. Check out a preview of the latest Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Lows below and we’ll keep you updated on a stateside drop right here on Sneaker News.

Today we get a look at the newest and latest variation of the Nike Air Presto, the Nike Air Presto Slip-On. Just like the name suggests, this version of the shoe opts to remove the traditional lacing system in favor of a slip-on construction. .

Although the Nike Air Presto kind of already has a slip-on construction, the removal of the laces still manages to give the shoe a brand new look and feel. The upper appears to be made out of two forms of mesh and as well as some neoprene hits. The sole unit appears to remain untouched, while the added protection on the toe is also still intact. Thoughts on the Nike Air Presto Slip-On? Stay tuned to find out when these get a release date.

It’s not a bad looking shoe, but I actually the normal Presto over this Slip-On version. The colors on the shoe don’t really appeal to me either.

Although the shoe still does not have an official release date, we’ve been talking a lot about the Nike KD 8 Uptempo as of late. We recently provided you with new images and today we have even more product shots to help you make your purchasing decision.

Some people are saying that this “Uptempo” colorway is a nod to the classic Nike Air Total Max Uptempo, and once I got a better look at the shoe I can see the inspiration behind the shoe. This KD 8‘s best features include the Metallic metal Nike Swoosh placed on the side panels of the shoe. The base of the shoe consists of a White woven upper contrasted by the Racer Blue done in gradient fashion on the tongue and sole. Thoughts on the latest coming out of the KD 8? Stay tuned to find out when these get an official release date.

The Nike Air Max 90 has a countless amount of hybrid/remixed versions that have dropped over the years. Different materials on the uppers, new technology on the soles, lighter and more breathable versions of the AM 90 have all come out over the years. Today we get another variation of the model and this one comes with a shroud placed on the upper. Dubbed the Nike Air Max 90 Utility Shroud, let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

The shoe’s most notable feature is without a doubt the ripstop nylon zip-up shroud that ends up covering the majority of the upper. Inside the shroud you will find a neoprene bootie that will give you a nice and snug fit. The customary leather mudguard and sole unit remain in place, which makes it easy to recognize the model. Several different colorway appear on top, let us know which pair you’re looking forward to the most.

The Kyrie’s have been referencing the Huaraches, the LeBron’s the Command Force, and now Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 8 possibly nods toward the Nike Air Total Max Uptempo.

It’s okay, but I prefer when this model is done in Jacquard construction. Regardless, I actually like the Ultra versions better than the OG AM 95.

Earlier this week, we got our first look at the Nike Hyperdunk Lux. Now we have yet another look at the lifestyle basketball shoe in addition to a brand new colorway we had not seen before.

Designed as an off-court lifestyle sneaker, Nike replaces the seamless Hyperfuse upper in favor of a woven construction. Giving it even more of a lifestyle look is the leather hits placed on the mudguard and the patent leather placed on the toebox. Completing the look is the full rubber outsole placed below. The new colorway has the shoe come in an all-White upper sitting on top of a Gum outsole. Keep it locked to find out if and when Nike decides to release these.

Author’s Take

It?s okay, but if I?m trying to buy a lifestyle model, I?d rather pick up a ?true? model, not a hybrid one.

If you saw the Warriors go up 3-1 over the Cavaliers  last night, you probably saw Kyrie Irving rock the shoes you see above, the Nike Kyrie 2 Red Velvet Finals PE. Just in case you needed to get a better look at the shoe, here it is.

Said to resemble the Kyrie 2 Red Velvet that dropped earlier this year, the shoe comes in a Marron-colored upper that also comes full equipped with the tonal velvet strap. Adding some contrast and a nice pop is the Metallic Gold branding placed on the KI branding on the tongue and Nike Swoosh on the rear part of the midsole. Lastly, a speckled translucent outsole completes the look of the shoe. Would you cop if Nike released these to the public? What kind of colorway do you think Kyrie will wear on Game 5?

As some of you may know, Skechers recently released a shoe called the Skechers Energy Boost. The moment that people looked at the shoe, they noticed the similar traits it had with existing adidas and Nike models. You would think that Skechers would be a little embarrassed or ashamed of copying the success and Nike and adidas worked for, but it was actually quite the contrary as they recently stated that they plan on moving forward with “competing” with Nike and adidas.

During a recent sit-down with Bloomberg, the Skechers CEO and chairman Robert Greenberg went over some of the brand’s ideas to grown even more that what it has over the last couple of years. He mentioned that his performance are one of the brands biggest money makers. He said that Skechers’ performance division has the potential of making over $1 billion dollars this year. The even asked him how Skechers can improve its brand perception to top Nike and adidas, he simply said, “Just keep doing it… Its a long process. You can build a shoe company for 100 years.”

Summer time is the perfect season to rock all-White kicks. If you’re in need of a fresh new pair, we just the one for you. Let’s get a better look at the Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit coming in an all-White colorway.

For those of you not too familiar with the model, it’s essentially a hybrid/remixed version of the Nike Free Mercurial Superfly with one of the major differences being the change of sole construction/technology.

Author’s Take

I’ve never tried on a pair with this kind of sole. I’m curious to see hot it feels/functions. As far as the upper goes, it’s really clean. The shoe definitely has potential.

I love pizza but unfortunately I don’t love Janoskis. I’m a fan of the way they look but they’re just not comfortable on my feet. This is a delicious colorway though.
