Next month will bring the official release of the highly anticipated Nike Air VaporMax. With the release date looming, we can expect more colorways of the model to begin surfacing. One of those color is the VaporMax that comes in all Purple from top to bottom.

The Nike Air VaporMax is said to be the most innovative Air Max creation ever. This hold truth because the sleek looking shoe comes with features such as a Flyknit upper and a  clean  Air Max unit with a full-length and foamless sole that enables you to see through the shoe in 360 fashion. Nike appears to have a winner with this one, and being that the shoe will be making its debut on March 26th, we won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on a pair. Stay tuned to find out when this Purple pair gets a release date. Retail price is set at $190.

Features we are able to point out are the velcro straps, the AF1 sole, the fragment design lightning bolt branded on the heel, and the tooling code that says ?fragment design? on the midsole. Is this something that looks like it has potential? Stay tuned as more info begins to surface.

The next LeBron 14 is almost here, as the Nike LeBron 14 University Red is slated to release as soon as next Saturday, March 4th for $175 USD.

The Cavaliers were rather quiet at the trade deadline, but the head honchos of the Eastern Conference still have some of their best basketball to play ahead of them. LeBron continues to put up MVP numbers and is leading the league in minutes per game at the age of 32, so perhaps this Nike LeBron 14 University Red could help him make yet another All-NBA First Team in style.

The LeBron 14 Red Black features a rather Miami Heat-esque colorway as this particular shade of red is a bit lighter than the Cavaliers’ maroon uniforms. Contrasting accents of black can be found on the texturized strap overlay branding and piping throughout while a white midsole features additional speckling. An icy outsole unit features full volume Zoom Air for one of the most advanced cushioning systems in the signature shoe game today. Hints of red even extend underneath for ad added pop.

Check out more detailed shots of the latest LeBron 14 colorway below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

Hip-hop and basketball are often synonymous with players wanting to be rappers and vice versa. That’s why we’re so excited about this latest Nike Basketball apparel collection that pays tribute to the gaudy era of southern hip-hop album covers that frequently featured designs from Pen & Pixel, a Houston-based company with a penchant for photoshopped revelry that specialized in the ridiculous.

Nike Basketball’s homage comes in the form of a handful of t-shirts featuring iced-out diamond encrusted basketballs featuring the likes of Kyrie Irving and Kobe Bryant. We can only hope that more are on the way featuring LeBron, Paul George, and the rest of the Swoosh’s hoops roster. Kyrie’s might be the best so far, with multiple overlays of a seriously grim-looking Kyrie, his signature logo shining in diamonds and a flaming ‘fear is not real’ wordmark at the bottom just resting there unexplained. Fear might not be, but a spherical world is, Kyrie. Prices range from $35 – $40 USD.

Grab your favorite tee today at Sneaker Politics and be on the lookout for each to arrive via Nike.com in the near future.

With the Nike Air Penny 4 back on the shelves for another retro run, Nike SNKRS takes a look back at the history of Penny Hardaway’s often underrated signature model. Arriving in 1998 at a turning point in his career, the Penny 4 would be the last model worn by Penny during his time with the Orlando Magic throughout the injury-plagued later portion of his career. For this reason perhaps, the shoe never quite got the shine it deserved, fading into obscurity for many of those who weren’t diehard Penny or Nike Basketball fans.

Designed by the legend Eric Avar, the Penny 4 actually took some influence from Air Jordans of the time?a premium leather upper with parallel stitching similar to the Air Jordan 12, and suede ankle detailing and podular sole like the Air Jordan 13?adding a supportive ankle strap system and Air Max cushioning to the heel. Influence aside, the Penny 4 stands alone as a distinct and important piece of Nike Basketball’s late-90s history, and especially the history of Penny’s beloved line, as it was the last signature shoe he’d wear on court (the line was rebirthed years later with the Penny 5).

Almost 20 years later, the Penny 4 is back again, available now at Nike.com in its original home “Orlando” colorway, as well as a new OG-inspired black and royal look. Revisit the history of the shoe here with a look at an original sketch by Eric Avar and some rarely seen colorways.

Moldy Jordan retros are back in the news. You might remember a few years back the Air Jordan 1 KO came with jokes of ‘moldy bred’ as the classic canvas sneaker was delayed due to defects in Jordan Brand’s shipping containers leading to mold spores on the retros. Now an unhappy Jumpman fan took to Instagram after a lack of customer service help to explain his similar situation – his sought after Air Jordan 13 OG “True Red” pair finally arrived in the mail, only to be absolutely destroyed due to the same problem. Check out the photos below and let us know if you’ve received a pair with a similar problem.

We’ve covered almost all the details of the Nike PG 1 in our interview with Nike designer Tony Hardman, who designed his first-ever Nike signature basketball shoe for Paul George. There’s one last feature specific to tomorrow’s “Shining” colorway that you might be wondering about, and it’s finally been uncovered.

First off, the first eight digits are consistent on all pairs of the Nike PG 1 “Shining”. 661 is the area code for Paul’s hometown of Palmdale, CA, 90 represents his birth year of 1990, and 317 is the area code of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the home arena for the Pacers.

The second batch of digits, however, is different on every single pair, because the individually number all 12,000 pairs of the shoes. Think of how painstaking it was for Nike to individually number all 12,000 pairs of the shoes and you’ll appreciate this shoe release even more. Some pairs are numbered above 12,000, but Nike confirms that there are exactly 12,000 pairs releasing to the public.

The Nike PG 1 “Shining” releases tomorrow exclusively on Nike.com and Nike SNKRS for $110.

A$AP Bari’s VLONE imprint made a huge splash with their Air Force 1 collaboration during NYFW, bringing the classic street-ready basketball shoe back to the “Uptown” section of New York City. As expected, NikeLab and VLONE are not making these exclusive to NYC; A$AP Bari took to Twitter to confirm a limited 200-pair release in London (likely NikeLab 1948), so there’s a chance the must-have AF1 release of 2017 could pop up in other cities.

Currently the VLONE x Air Force 1 fetches around $2,000 on secondary market shopping platforms like eBay and Stadium Goods.
