This Premium Nike Blazer Mid Come Covered In Blue Suede
By SoleInsider
If you’re looking for something classic and subtle to pick up this Spring then Nike has just what you need with this new Binary Blue colorway of the Nike Blazer Mid Premium.
Constructed out of a buttery suede all throughout the upper, this Blazer Mid comes engulfed in Binary Blue all over to give the shoe a tonal look. Even the laces, branding and tongue have been covered in the same shade of blue. A white tongue tag and a light gum rubber sole unit serve as the points of contrast for this Blazer that is beginning to arrive at select retailers now. Is this pair on your must-cop list for the Spring?
You don’t always need to wear something bright and eye-catching to make a statement. That’s even more the case with a classic silhouette like the Air Max 90.
Here we take a look at a new colorway of the Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette that takes on a textile and suede upper in Armory Navy with White accents on the heel, eyelets, branding, and midsole. Down below we have a gum rubber outsole to keep things simple and clean. Sometimes less is more. Look for this Air Max 90 at select Nike Sportswear retailers this Spring.
Iridescent sneakers are all the rage this spring, and now the Air Force 1 gets its own color-shifting upper. Similar to the iridescent look of the “All-Star” Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 6 released in February, this Air Force 1 Low features a shiny teal and purple upper with white accents, dubbed the “Iced Lilac” colorway. Get a good look here, and find them arriving now at select Nike Sportswear retailers like HNY.
As we get closer and closer to Air Max Day, there seems to be more and more options for new Air Max sneakers hitting retail. Now there’s a few more to consider, with the new set color and material possibilities for the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, and Air Max Zero that just hit NIKEiD. There’s a whole new set of colors for various sections of the upper, a speckled midsole option, and materials like leather and suede now available, and it looks like you can almost make your own pair of the OG red colorway. See examples here, and get started on your own pair by following the links for each below.
NikeLab Teams Up With INVINCIBLE For Incredible Air Max 1 Flyknit Installation
By SoleInsider
Nike’s Air Max Day is bigger than ever this year, and one of the most notable drops is definitely the “VisionAirs” collection with three renowned innovators of fashion, design, and technology all creating their own Air Max designs. Compared to Riccardo Tisci’s Air Max 97 Mid and Marc Newson’s VaporMax, Arthur Huang’s Air Max 1 Flyknit is the most traditional silhouette, but it may just be the most meaningful. The CEO of Miniwiz, a company dedicated to recycling consumer trash and industrial waste into useful and beautifully designed products, Huang created a sleek all-black version of the Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit built with premium leather paneling. Every pair of the shoe will be housed in a lightweight plastic box made entirely from post-consumer materials.
See the shoe with its packaging at a special pop-up space set up at INVINCIBLE in Taiwan, and cop your pair on Air Max Day, this Sunday, March 26th. The shoes are available now in-store at Invincible.

Among the many great releases from Nike for Air Max Day is the “VisionAirs” collection, including three ultra-premium sneakers from three style and technology visionaries. Among the trio is this bold new edition of the Air Max 97 by Riccardo Tisci, the fashion legend who as you know is no stranger to Nike collaborations. His latest creation features the iconic Air Max 97 with a new high-top design built in premium pebble leather and suede in black with gold and white accents.
Originally scheduled to drop on Air Max Day, the Riccardo Tisci x Air Max 97 Mid is actually available now at select retailers, including straight from Nike. Of course, you should expect very limited quantities that won’t last long. If you want to increase your chances of copping a pair, consult a list of retailers who have them in stock right now below.
3 colorways of the Nike VaporMax will debut in limited numbers this weekend, and while we’re personally fans of the Triple Black option set to release exclusively at NikeLab locations on Air Max Day, there’s even more in store for the future of visible air later this Spring 2017 season. Today we get a look at the coming Nike Air VaporMax “Oreo”, a pair that combines black and white Flyknit throughout with an icy blue outsole unit perfect for the hotter months ahead. There’s no word yet on when exactly the VaporMax Oreo will hit retail shelves, but we’ll keep you updated in the near future.
Walking On Air: A Night Inside The Nike Sneakeasy Los Angeles
By SoleInsider
wheeeeee, oh God, the lighting, noooooooo….
No, that gif is not what happens after you have a few uh, adult beverages inside the Nike Sneakeasy, but what you see behind the shoe is what happens when you step inside the Los Angeles-based space. It’s a history of Air, from the 1 to the VaporMax, but with a focus on what’s next. And what’s for Air next is light. Absurdly light.
For those who weren’t paying attention during the 1920s part of their history class in high school, The Nike Sneakeasy is a play off the speakeasies of the Prohibition Era, when it was illegal to produce and sell alcoholic beverages. In order to get inside some of these speakeasies, you literally had to knock on a metal door and tell the guard through a small window the password in order to get inside. Unlike a speakeasy, the Sneakeasy was focused more on showing you kicks that weren’t illegal, but rather ahead of its time.
Inside the Sneakeasy, once you passed through the video floor that made you feel like you were floating on air above the Los Angeles skyline, you were greeted by Ekins with iPad Pros who talked up the legacy of Air, complete with a collection of current and vintage Air Max kicks. They also informed us of the Air Max Vote Forward and the 12 RevolutionAirs participating in the program. Because LA is so much cooler than any other city in the world, two of the RevolutionAirs, Round 2’s Sean Wotherspoon and Brain Dead’s Kyle Ng, are locals and were in attendance to talk about their designs and inspirations. Also available if you wanted to get a heads up on everybody else were the Air Max Day iD Options for the Flyknit Air Max 1 and VaporMax that won’t be available for to the public for a few more days.
Every proper Nike Air Max shoe, starting with the Air Max 1, changed the sneaker landscape. Some ended up becoming classics that we wear to this day and some are better left to the ether, but they all had a profound effect on what everybody wears, from sneakerheads who camp out for rare limited editions Airs to your aunt who still walks around in her Air Max 2012 that she got at the Factory Store for half price. Nike capitalized on how much “Air” meant to them and created Air Max Day, but what once felt like a hokey excuse to get everybody buzzing on social media to rock Air Maxes has exploded into a legitimate month-long celebration with retros and special edition releases that honestly no other brand could pull off.
So about that look into the future. The Nike Air VaporMax is unlike any other Air Max shoe you’ve ever worn. We love to talk about how light Air Max kicks have become through the years, but you haven’t felt light until you’ve tried on the VaporMax. The best way to describe it for those who have yet to try a pair is to pull out a pair of the current Flyknit Air Max and imagine that without the midsole. Now all that’s in between you and the Air Max unit are is well, almost nothing. For the first time ever, you actually feel the Air underneath you. It’s a strange sensation that you always thought you felt when you put on a pair of Air Maxes, but this time it’s real. It actually takes a few minutes to get used to the feeling and probably a few hours to really grasp is going on with your feet, but the result is the same: the realization that this is the leap that we’ve been looking for in Air Max. If the 90s Air Maxes were Standard Definition CRT TVs and the 2000s were HD, the VaporMax is the razor-thin Ultra 4K HDR set that you stare at inside Costcos. You’ll ogle at how pretty it is while at the same time probably be worried as hell just how stable and durable the thing is (one worry about the VaporMax is that we won’t know how they’ll work in the real world in everyday wear), but you’ll enjoy every second while it’s new and hot.
And if you missed it on our IG Story, here’s the replay. And because I posted this, I also learned a valuable lesson today: YouTube doesn’t like stills. You’ll see…
Official Images Of The Nike Zoom Flight Bonafide Multicolor
By SoleInsider
Just in case you’re not familiar with the Nike Zoom Flight Bonafide, it’s basically a remixed version of the ’90s classic, the Nike Zoom Flight 95. It made its debut as a sample during Nike’s All-Star celebration that have us a look at how much Nike basketball sneakers have changed over the years. The futuristic model has a very unique look that consists of a Flyknit woven upper with a sock collar with a heel zipper all while sitting on top of a Nike Zoom Flight 95.
This new colorway has the upper rocking a multicolor motif which end sup giving the shoe even more of a modern/futuristic aesthetic. Contrasting the bold look of the shoe is the Black on the sock collar and the carbon fiber on the pods noted on the White chunky sole. Said to be an actual release that will be available to the public, stay tuned as a release date is sure to surface.
The Nike Zoom Flight Bonafide Releasing In Multi-Color Flyknit
By SoleInsider
If the name Ben Kirschner sounds familiar, it’s because the Nike Sportswear designer was the man behind the Nike SF-AF1, perhaps NSW’s most celebrated new design of the Fall/Winter season. His latest creation remixes the Nike Zoom Flight 95, a fan-favorite basketball model from the mid-90s worn by basically every point guard in the league during that time from a rookie Jason Kidd all the way to Terrell Brandon. The modernized update is now known as the Nike Zoom Bonafide and features a high-arching Flyknit woven upper that you’d more readily find on the likes of the Magista series than on a hoops silhouette with the addition of a heel zipper for easier access.
While the debut colorway remained a sample for Nike’s All-Star Celebration showing how much their hoops imprint has changed over the years, today we get a look at what could be the first retail release of the Nike Bonafide with a head-turning Multi-Color upper contrasting a black ankle sock and traditional carbon fiber hints on the bold futuristic midsole pods. We’re still unsure if this pair is ready to actually hoop in or will be more for lifestyle purposes given the lightweight slip-on Flyknit upper, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Check out more of the Nike Zoom Flight Bonafide Multi-Color below and stay tuned for a Release Date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.
