You know why you’re here. You want to know just exactly the Kicks On Fire staff thinks about this weekend’s releases, especially what we think about the highly anticipated Atmos x Air Jordan 3 pack that just so happens to include the return of the winner of last year’s wild Air Max Day Vote Back, the Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 collab. Well, you’ll be pleased to know that we tend to agree with the sneaker community when it comes to the reaction to the included Air Jordan 3. But what about the rest of the weekend’s drops, including the Silver Surfer Foams, a new Jordan retro, a remixed AM1 and a new pair for Damian Lillard? Find out in this edition of Buy, Pass, Wait.

Atmos x Air Jordan 3 x Nike Air Max 1 (Buy The Pack Or Just The AM1)

Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (Just The Air Max 1) Between the translucent sole and the nubuck upper, the Air Jordan 3 collab wasn’t what I was hoping for when word got out that this project might actually happen. I’m all about copping the classics to have that history so I hope to be able to secure a pair of the Air Max 1, but I’m really more about creating new classics and the Air Jordan 3 is not in that category.

Renz Ofiaza, News: (BUY As A Pack) The only detail I dislike from this pack is the outsole of the AJ 3. This pack won’t be releasing anytime again soon, so I’m all for acquiring this exclusive set. I’m a sucker for the theme too.

Nike Air Max 1 Ultra 2.0 Air Max Day

EIC Juan: (BUY) If Nike wants to keep the retro train moving they need the expand the Ultra into all their legacy models. Keep everything on the outside looking as close to the OG as possible at a reasonable price, but trim all the fat on the inside and make them lightweight and comfortable to wear. Basically, all Ultra everything.

Renz: (PASS) The updated tech makes the sneaker more functional, but I still prefer the silhouette in its OG build. This pair is still a winner, especially in this colorway.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro Silver Surfer

EIC Juan: (BUY) Not because I’m dying to blow that much money on a pair of Foams, but I have to support the community for finally getting a Marvel sneaker nickname correct this time. It’s all not silver like Norrin Radd is, but it’s a lot closer to the Surfer than poorly-named Dr. Doom is.

Renz: (WAIT) Still one of my favorite bball sneakers. I would’ve purchased these instantly years ago but I’ll only consider it at a lower price point.

News Juan: (PASS) Foams are not my thing. Never will be. If it wasn’t for working at KicksonFire, I would have forgotten that these drop this weekend.

Andres: (PASS) It’s still hard for me to believe that retail price for a pair of Foamposites is $250! I mean don’t they all end up going on sale a few weeks later anyway? These are decent, but I’m just not a Foam guy. And maybe for half the price.

adidas Dame 3 Legacy

EIC Juan: (BUY) The Dame 3 is just different from the all the NBA signature shoes this year, going for a more fashion-friendly approach with it’s lacing panels than in previous iterations. I have a feeling these will be appreciated long after they’re off the market. A cult classic in the making.

Renz: (WAIT) I like this style in tonal finishes and this version is pretty solid. The color combo is pretty stylish and classic.

News Juan: (PASS) Very clean, but I don’t really see myself buying a lot of basketball shoes any time soon (PG 1s are the exception and retros don’t count)

Andres: (WAIT) There’s something about an all-white/cream sneaker with a gum sole that always catches my eye. The Dame 3 is clean and this is one of the better colorways to release. Definitely a dope shoe to rock during the Summer.

Air Jordan 12 Low Wolf Grey

EIC Juan: (PASS) It’s not leather, it’s not something for me to care about.

Renz: (BUY) I’m usually against this model in low-top form, but in this finish, it’s really an appealing option. I would’ve liked it even more in a darker grey tone like the PSNY 12s though.

News Juan: (PASS) Eh. It does nothing for me. Kins of looks like those Wolf Grey / Blue 12s that dropped last year. I mean, if you’re going to release 12 Lows, I’d want the colorways to look different from the Mids, right?

Andres: (PASS) Not only are these Lows (which I don’t like), but what’s up with the perforations all over the upper?? This colorway had potential but it feels like another pair of 12s that Jordan Brand just rushed. Why? I don’t really know.

Last offered in binary blue and gym red, the newly-introduced Nike Air Max 95 Ultra Essential is treated in a stylish finish of khaki/oatmeal-linen for its latest iteration this Spring 2017.

With the defining earthy hues simply covering its no-sew constructed upper that creates a more streamlined profile, this modernized design of the retro runner is comprised of breathable mesh, leather accents and synthetics to solidify its iconic profile.

A crisp white revamped midsole unit inspired by the Ultra Moire rounds out the sleek design altogether.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.

With its university red colorway expected to release next weekend, the next rendition of the Nike LeBron 14 will be offered in a pristine finish to perfectly suit Spring/Summer 2017.

Essentially draped in white across its dual-zone composite upper with engineered laser perforations, as well as the branded mid-foot strap that further reinforces the profile — translucent detailing are prominent on the heel, while iridescent platinum swooshes adorn the distinctive strap.

Finally, a matching white midsole unit and Zoom Air translucent outsole finishes off the overall design.

Retailing for $175, expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers very soon.

Last featured in a crisp combination of cool grey/white, the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low will be offered in a subdued burgundy theme as well this Spring 2017.

Draped in an understated palette of black, burgundy and bright crimson across its revamped breathable knit upper, the silhouette’s elevated design is further detailed with leather accents on the side panels and heel tabs for premium appeal, perforated toe box and flywire cables that offers superb lockdown.

Additionally, the knit construction works with the cored-out Ultra sole to enable a lightweight feel as well, resulting into one of the most comfortable AF1s yet.

Priced at $160, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers very soon.

Pink is quickly becoming a trendy colorway in the sneaker world. Case in point: these new looks from Nike SB for the classic Zoom Stefan Janoski and Blazer Low XT, which are some of the cleanest pink sneakers we’ve seen so far this year. The Janoski gets a much larger dose of the “Prism Pink” hue than the Blazer Low XT, as you can see by the fully pink canvas upper versus the white upper of the toe-capped Blazer with a white leather build and pink Swooshes. Expect both shoes to arrive at select Nike SB stockists and Nike.com soon.

Built with more lifestyle appeal and functionality, the new fleece woolen construction in dark heather grey and black drapes the sneaker’s rugged upper.

Providing sufficient insulation throughout the profile as well, finishing touches include tonal black suede overlays utilized for its eyelets, its signature carbon fiber shank, glossy Swooshes and an icy outsole with red accents.

Priced at $230, you can expect to find this durable pair at select Nike retailers starting June 5th.

Introduced back in April 2005, the classic Nike SB Dunk Low Boca Juniors is suggested to make its return this Spring 2017, twelve years later.

Inspired by the Brazilian soccer club, this variation of the BOCA Juniors will simply stay true to its classic build with its signature tones of varsity royal and lightning yellow.

While the 2005 counterpart featured a full leather construction, this 2017 pair is upgraded with smooth suede overlays. Draped in blue, the eye-catching yellow accents are prominent on the Swooshes, tongue and heel, while it’s offset against a white midsole unit and gum outsole. In addition, the inner is more refined as well, with the classic fat tongue now slimmed down.

Retailing for $90, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers starting April 2017.

What you see above is the Nike Aqua Sock 360, a modified/modernized/revamped version of the Nike Aqua Sock that made its debut back in the ’90s. The shoe Nike made to wear in (and out) the water, is back with a brand new construction.

The Nike Aqua Sock 360 keeps the aforementioned model’s original mesh construction, but opts to switch things up a bit when it comes to the sole unit. It now comes with a design consisting of three different parts made to give the shoe additional support. The shoe also comes equipped with a brand new heel counter that happens to house a large Nike Swoosh. For those of you looking to pick up a pair, be on the lookout since they’re bound to release soon being that sunny days are fast approaching.

The Air Force 1 has had one crazy resurgence to the top of Nike Sportswear’s most featured retro silhouettes. While offerings like the VLONE x Nike Air Force 1 and the upcoming OFF WHITE x Nike Air Force 1 will remain out of reach for most sneakerheads out there, there’s still been a number of OG bring-backs like the Linen colorway and a number of city-exclusives that had AF1 purists more than happy to shell out a couple of extra bucks to reserve their pair. All of that heat isn’t even considering the modernized updates like the Nike Air Force 1 Low Flyknit, returning soon in this Deep Burgundy offering for the Spring 2017 season.

If you’re a fan of Bruce Kilgore’s iconic basketball model turned lifestyle staple, but want to shed some of that vintage weight, then this pair is the perfect opportunity to do just that. The ‘Ultra’ tooling on the outsole skips out on any Lunarlon updates for hidden indentations for a lighter ride. The breathable Flyknit is flexible and breathable enough for the warm seasons ahead while this ominous combination of Black, Burgundy, and Gold works incredibly well together. Premium touches help elevate this pair to the next level too, thanks to a leather tongue with gold branding and a leather Swoosh on the side panels.

Expect to find this pair on Nike.com in the near future.

Add another Air Max Day release to the list. This one’s of the collaboration type which has NikeLab team up with Marc Newson (industrial designer) to create a very special version of the upcoming Nike Air VaporMax. Here’s a first look at the Marc Newson x NikeLab Air VaporMax.

Unlike any of the previous versions of the model we’ve seen before, right off the bat you can tell that the design of the shoe was meant to give the shoe a very premium and luxurious motif. They is executed by giving the shoe an upper constructed out of a Forest Green Flyknit upper paired up with the vegetable tanned leather found on both the mudguard and velcro straps, two features not found on the original version of the VaporMax. Below you will find the shoe’s customary Air Max bubble cushioned midsole just to remind you that this is in fact a runner. Other features on the shoe worth mentioning include the contrast crisscross stitching along the leather panels and the embossed Nike Swoosh and MN branding on the heel counter. It’s all in the details, right? Releasing on March 26th (Air Max Day) for $275, who’s looking to come up on a pair?

After providing you with a first look of the Nike Air Max 1 Premium Tonal Pack, today we have even more images of the pack said to be releasing beginning tomorrow.

The Nike Air Max 1 Premium Tonal Pack consists of a Triple Red and Triple Blue iteration of the Air Max 1.

Another classic Dunk returns! If you were a sneakerhead in the early 2000s and haven’t checked out completely by now (kudos to you, sir or madam) because Nike SB is celebrating 15 years of their flagship model in style with a number of original retros returning to store shelves. It’s a bit surprising that they didn’t do the usual low to high-top swap here, but we couldn’t be happier that we’re getting another chance to relive our younger years with a second shot at this popular Nike SB Dunk Low offering.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Boca Juniors first debuted in April 2005 and was named after the Brazillian soccer club, the BOCA Juniors. Here we are 12 years later getting another shot at the premium skate model, with just a minor change. Instead of a full grain leather upper, new suede panel overlays add a premium touch. Other changes come on the interior like an upgraded Zoom Air heel unit and natural motion on the lining for added comfort. The same Varsity Royal and Lightning colorway still shines as brilliantly as it used to, and that classic gum bottom adds a lifestyle touch. We expect this pair to release sometime in April, so check out a first look at stay tuned for more updates via our Release Dates page.
