It is believed that this is only one of the colorways that will be available in the collaboration. The shoe features an all-black upper with the traditional large “AIR” branding being replaced with “SUPREME” wrapping around the entire upper. The Nike branding on the midsole, toe, and heel have all been done in white.
Take a look at the first images above and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for release updates.
First Look At The Supreme x Nike Air More Uptempo Suptempo
By SoleInsider
Introducing the Supreme Nike Air More Uptempo. Last week we got word that the streetwear giant would be collaborating with one of Nike Basketball’s most revered creations from the mid-90s in the Air More Uptempo, but instead of the infamous ‘AIR’ callout on the side panels, the New York skateshop swapped out their own moniker with ‘SUPREME’ wrapped around the upper in a Triple Black aesthetic. It’s worth noting that we’re still unsure about whether this black on black colorway will be the only release or if more looks will be coming this Spring 2017 season. Check out a first detailed look at the coming Supreme Uptempos below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.
Kobe Bryant might be retired, but his legacy is still felt throughout the league with players like DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving, and more all looking to the Black Mamba for guidance as an unofficial mentor of sorts. Nike Basketball wanted to keep the Mamba DNA alive and well with Kobe’s latest signature model, the Kobe AD, with a refined upper utilizing engineered mesh, Dynamic Flywire, and a unique heel construction all resting on a sleek Zoom Air tooled midsole unit with natural motion in the forefoot. We’ve seen a number of new colorways pop-up throughout the new year, and today we get a look at the Nike Kobe AD Navy slated to release on February 1st, 2017.
The Nike Kobe AD “Navy” features a simple two-color aesthetic with a dark navy contrasted by white hits on the midsole, outsole, and inner lining. A little red pops out on the snake-inspired DNA helix for good measure. Stay tuned for more info regarding this upcoming Nike Kobe AD Navy colorway (you can see more detailed photos here) in the near future right here on Sneaker News and head over to our Release Dates page for an updated look at the latest and greatest releases headed to retailers.

LeBron Debuts New Nike LeBron 14 PE Against Portland Trailblazers
By SoleInsider
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently struggling through their annual West Coast road trip, as they’ve dropped back-to-back games against the Utah Jazz and Portland Trailblazers despite the recent addition of sharpshooter Kyle Korver. The best team in the Eastern Conference will likely resolve their recent woes in the near future, and LeBron James did have a few noticeable highlights in the loss to the Blazers last night, like his brand new LeBron 14 colorway.
The Nike LeBron 14 Wolf Grey/ Maroon PE takes a simple approach to LeBron’s latest signature model, as the light grey upper features clean white branding and a contrasting forefoot panel of maroon to match the Cavs’ alternate throwback-inspired uniforms. A white midsole and icy outsole adds a simple, refined finish to LeBron’s latest. What do you think of the look? Check out more detailed shots of the latest LeBron 14 PE below and stay tuned for more updates regarding LeBron’s latest and greatest right here on Sneaker News.
For years, sneakerheads have been wondering if Nike would ever go down the Retro route with LeBron James’ signature shoes. Given how Nike Basketball gave Kobe the treatment twice with the celebrated “Prelude” Pack and “Fade To Black” Collection, it seemed like only a matter of time before LeBron’s first era of Nike sig shoes would make their way back to stores shelves. The wait seems to be a lot shorter than we think because a first look at the Nike Air Zoom Generation Retro just surfaced.
The Air Zoom Generation is LeBron’s first official signature shoe despite not having his name attached to the shoes. The colorway seen here is the famed “First Game” colorway that he wore in his first-ever NBA regular season game against the Sacramento Kings. It features the date of that debut game embroidered on the inner lining of the shoe, just like the original.
This first leaked photo also pictures a red slide-out box, which has been more in use for Nike’s higher-end Sportswear offerings such as the ACRONYM Prestos, the Supreme x Air Max 98, and much more. Stay tuned for release dates.
Versatile Shades On The Latest Nike Roshe Two Flyknit
By SoleInsider
Introduced this past summer, the Nike Roshe Two Flyknit is featured in one its newest colorways to welcome the new year.
Featuring a versatile palette of black/white-wolf grey-stadium green — the lifestyle silhouette is essentially light and flexible as its predecessor. This second variation combines three layers of cushioning with a soft, stretch upper for comfort and streamlined simplicity. The upper construction is also defined by a new striped pattern for eye-catching appeal, which is rendered in a combination of black, white and wolf grey.
Further detailed with white Swooshes across its side panels and a textured heel, the sneaker is topped off with a full-length white sole unit to round out its versatile design.
Retailing for $130, you can purchase this model at select Nike retailers overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.
A palette that emits a blend of militaristic and utilitarian vibes, this mid-top variation of the ’90s silhouette, is defined by a snug-fitting, water-repellent flyknit construction. Black accents throughout further complement the look, while tan leather detailing is implemented on the toe box and heel for additional complementary flair and reinforcement.
Finally, a 3/4-length Zoom Air unit delivers low-profile cushioning for a responsive, comfortable step, as it’s all adhered atop a black rubber outsole that offers extra durability for multi-surface traction in various terrains.
Priced at $225, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers nationwide now.
Flaunting a more premium construction, the sneaker is defined by python detailing prominent on the toe box, side panels and collar section, while vibrant red leather overlays comprises the remainder of its upper. Bight yellow swooshes provide additional vibrance and a complementary touch, as it’s all adhered atop a white midsole unit and versatile gum outsole.
You can purchase this exotic pair at select Nike retailers overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.
The Nike SF-AF1 came out of nowhere to be one of the most sought after lifestyle mockups in Nike Sportswear’s arsenal late last year. The militarized version of Bruce Kilgore’s iconic 1980s basketball model transformed the hardwood staple into a high-fashion offering in a number of tonal colorways with a ballistic nylon and weather resistant synthetic leather utilizing paracord military straps and additional boot-like lace eyelets for a premium offering that sold out immediately. Good news is on the horizon though, as a number of new Nike SF AF1 colorways will be headed to retailers come Spring 2017 like this Nike SF AF1 Wheat.
The Nike SF AF1 Wheat takes the “Flax” Timberland boot-inspired aesthetic to task with a monochromatic upper featuring an updated nylon ankle strap and black eyelets to match the outsole unit below. Be sure to check out a full look at the coming Nike SF AF1 Wheat after the break and we’ll keep you updated on a Release Date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.
Fall may have come and gone already, but this new colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 definitely brings those Fall vibes right back.
Using the popular flax/wheat color scheme, this Air Max 90 comes covered in a Desert Ochre suede upper with ripstop overlays in Lined added on the side panels and toecap. Next we see dark grey accents on the tongue patch, heel tab, Swoosh branding, and on the midsole. A white midsole wraps things up on this Fall-inspired colorway of the Air Max 90.

The Black Sheep x Nike SB Dunk Releases On SNKRS Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
The Nike SB Dunk High gets fierce thanks to a special collaboration with North Carolina skate shop Black Sheep. With an appropriate “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing” theme, the colorway looks harmless at first with a brushed suede upper in light grey with white, black, and red accents, but once the paint wears of the Swooshes the wolf’s vicious teeth are revealed. If you’re still hunting for a pair after the initial release this past weekend, keep in mind these Dunks with a bite drop this Thursday, January 12th on the Nike SNKRS at 10:00 AM EST. If you’re interested in the version with the special package, see what’s up for grabs on eBay.
If we ever get the opportunity to talk to Paul George about the Nike PG 1, that’s the first question I would ask him. After rising to superstardom in 2013, it seemed inevitable that he was going to be the next player to receive a Nike Basketball signature shoe. He fit into the Nike mold of a signature athlete so well – young, charismatic, athletic, tall – that it was almost unfair how perfect he was for the role. But then an injury in the summer of 2014 derailed those plans and as George recovered, a number of players – including one within Nike – got signature shoes before he did. Nike never tipped their hand to indicate that George would ever get to that place again, so when we saw him rocking the Hyperchase and Hyperdunk after he came back, it felt like maybe the time for a Nike PG 1 had passed by. Good thing it didn’t, as it turns out. So we rounded up the KoF Staff to get their thoughts on the Nike PG 1 and what their expectations are for the shoe and George moving forward.
Juan Carrillo, News: I’ve been an Indiana Pacers fans since the age of 10. Through thick and thin, I’ve stuck with my team. I take pride in being the only Indiana Pacers fan in all of Los Angeles county, haha. From Reggie Miller to Jermaine O’Neal to Danny Granger and now Paul George, they’ve all been the faces of the team as well as my favorite Pacers players. Never in my life did I think a player from my favorite team would ever get their own signature sneaker, let alone with Nike. Sure, Reggie and Jermaine would get PE exclusives of Jordan and Nikes, but nothing compares to having your own signature sneaker. I’m beyond excited, happy and proud to see my favorite player in the NBA get his own signature sneaker. Not only that, but the shoe is actually a good looking sneaker (of course I had to say that, but for real, it really is!). I can already imagine what the the Home and Away colorways will look like, or the moment they hit NIKEiD. The possibilities are endless. Damn.

You know what I find funny, I told myself that I wanted to slow down my sneaker purchases this year, but thinking about all the colorways of the PG1 that will drop this year makes it really hard to stick by my word. I heard Paul George is going to debut the PG 1 in the 2K colorway this week when the Pacers take on the Nuggets in London. It’d be pretty sweet to see my Pacers go for 6 wins in a row all while George posting a 30-8-6 stat line while rocking the PG 1. The PG 1. It still feels surreal saying that. Here’s to Paul George having a PG 2, PG 3, PG 4, PG 5, etc.
Renz Ofiaza, News: At first glance, it reminded me of the Nike SB Trainerendor. Aesthetically, I like the classic grey finish and the streamlined profile. The forefoot strap does add a distinctive character to it, aside from function, but, I don’t think it was that necessary. It would’ve looked fine with or without it. It’s a cool theme too and this is one of its better colorways for sure.
Andres Carrillo, News: I wasn’t sure what to expect from Paul George’s first signature shoe. After seeing the first leaked images a few months back I didn’t really like it, but with the official look I changed my mind completely. In my opinion it’s a real solid looking shoe. I like the materials that were used on the debut “2K” colorway and the small details like the bobber lace lock inspired by his love for fishing and the iridescent Swoosh. I think there’s potential for the shoe to release in some pretty dope colorways. You also gotta love that $110 price tag. Congrats PG!
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: Because I had to know…
Let’s face reality for a second. Basketball signature shoes have not been living up to expectations as of late. Earlier this decade, there were times when Kobes, LeBrons and KDs were actually hard to find in stores. Now they flood the shelves and sit there waiting to hit clearance prices. It’s a combination of the shoes becoming too good for well, their own good; the tech got better, the prices went up, but the style never adapted to the shifting taste. When the Nike Kyrie 1 dropped it was refreshing to see a Nike Basketball signature priced so affordably and had enough signature touches that few cared it was basically a fancier Hyperfuse. The Kyrie 2 and now the Kyrie 3 are continuing to carry that torch of balancing style and performance at a price most people won’t balk at, but based on what we’ve seen so far, the Nike PG 1 might be the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for. At $110, it’s a stylish and affordable sneaker that will look good on and off the court in the right colorway, like the 2K that will help launch the shoe. It wouldn’t surprise me if these became the most accepted Nike Basketball signature shoe since the Nike Zoom KD 4.
