Following its triple black iteration, the popular Nike Flyknit Racer will release in form of Rough Green next to further cap off its 2016 lineup.

Although dubbed, “Earth Tones,” — the sleek model dons an official colorway of Rough Green/Black-Neutral Olive-Sequoia. Noted to be one of the trendiest hues for Fall/Winter, the aesthetic also evokes a militaristic theme with a slightly subtle camouflage pattern throughout.

Offsetting the understated profile is a clean white midsole unit and black outsole to round out its design.

Retailing for $150, you can buy a pair at select Nike retailers starting Friday, December 9th.

I?ll always be an advocate for this style. I?m biased towards its design. This colorway is another crowd pleaser for sure.

LeBron James continues to wear different versions of the Nike LeBron 13 even though he’s already been spotted getting some shots up in the LeBron 14. Whether it’s the OG 13, the LeBron 13 Elite, or the 13 Low, I think it’s a silhouette that not many people will remember. I mean even LeBron ditched it in last season’s playoffs and went with the Zoom Soldier 10s instead.

Some players do like the LeBron 13 though and continue to wear it on the court. One of those players is Bron’s teammate and NBA Champion J.R. Smith. Nike recently showcased a Smith PE colorway of the LeBron 13 Low which features a black and white upper with additional white detailing on the branding and midsole, and a red inner liner. Speckle detailing has been placed on the midsole with an icy blue translucent outsole wrapping things up.

Thumbs up or thumbs down for J.R.’s LeBron 13 Low?

So far the majority of us have only had access to one colorway of the brand new Nike Kobe A.D., but Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan isn’t like the majority of us.

Currently the face of the Nike Kobe brand and one of the best players in the NBA this season, DeMar has been spotted wearing a couple of different PE colorways of Kobe’s first post-retirement sneaker. One of the latest is this pair that you see above which features an all-red upper with black accents on the branding and inner liner. White speckling has then been placed on the Swoosh while black speckling is seen on the midsole. Finishing things up is an icy blue outsole.

What are your thoughts on DeMar’s PE colorway of the Kobe A.D.? Would you cop if they released?

Shout out to my boy Deebo! I hope he gets his own retail PE colorway soon, or dare I say his own signature shoe??? One can dream right?

As a native Californian, there’s no question that DeMar looked up to Kobe during the now-retired baller’s championship years with the Lakers – so much so that rumors of DeMar signing with LA swirled around rather heavily during the offseason. Instead, he stayed put in Toronto, signed a max contract, and is now entering his prime and enjoying the best start he’s ever had in the NBA. DeMar won’t be in a Lakers uniform anytime soon, but he’s repping the Kobe hard with this Kobe AD PE that Nike just unveiled, and we suspect this won’t be the last. You might spot these on his feet tonight against the Cavs, so tune into tonight’s game and craft your own Nike Kobe AD colorway now on NIKEiD.

J.R. Smith might just be the streakiest shooter in NBA history. The three-point marksman has been struggling in his past five games, but that hasn’t stopped him from hoisting up his signature long-range contested jumpers. It hasn’t stopped teammate LeBron James from gifting J.R. some brand new player exclusives either, as Smith will lace up this Nike LeBron 13 Low PE against the Toronto Raptors tonight.

This LeBron 13 Low PE features a simple black mesh and fuse construction with an eye-catching black to white gradient midsole complete with contrast speckling throughout. The outsole unit combines Nike’s signature LeBron Hexagonal Air units with an Air Max heel for a more traditional ride. Color pops of vibrant red hit the laces and lining to match the Cavaliers uniform kit. What do you think of J.R. Smith’s latest? Check out more photos below and be sure to check out the first look at the LeBron 14 right here on Sneaker News.

A premium rendition of the Nike Cortez Nylon Premium is on the way, this time around the classic model rocks a Pale Grey colorway. Here are some on-feet images of the upcoming drop.

The Nike Cortez Nylon Premium consists of a colorway that includes Ivory, Pale Grey and Pine Green. The shoe is done in a nylon upper with suede hits placed on the overlays. A White midsole with a Green stripe completes the look. Giving the shoe some pop are the Red accents noted on the heel, tongue and lace tips. Already available internationally, we’ll let you know when they drop stateside.

We’ve gotten a few details here and there regarding the upcoming Nike LeBron 14, like the fact that it will feature a strap and that it’s expected to retail for $175. But we haven’t gotten any looks at the shoe just yet. Until now.

The Cleveland Cavaliers official Instagram account posted a video yesterday of the team getting some shots up in preparation for tonight’s game against the Raptors in a battle for 1st place in the Eastern Conference. The video shows King James front and center putting some shots up while wearing what is believed to be the LeBron 14. The video was filmed in black and white so it’s difficult to tell the colorway of the shoe. All we can see is that it does appear to have a strap, that it has a hex-zoom setup on the outsole, and that it’s more of a mid top/low top. You can check out the video here.

The LeBron 14 is expected to release in January, but we just may see it on the court before then.

Author’s Take

It’s difficult to make any judgments based off of this video since we can’t really see the shoe that well. I think Nike will be unveiling the LeBron 14 real soon.

Another Nike Air Huarache Utility is on the way, and this one is currently known as the “Premium White” colorway. Let’s get a closer look at the shoe via these on-feet images.

Although the shoe is predominantly done in a White colorway, it also comes with bold hits of Metallic Gold and Midnight Navy strategically placed throughout the shoe. The shoe itself is done in a textile upper paired up with the synthetic overlays and of course the neoprene inner sleeve. Below you will find an IU foam midsole next to a Nike Air sole unit and rubber waffle outsole. Priced a $155, look for these at select international retailers.

 Author’s Take

It’s okay. I would have preferred more Navy or Gold hits on the lower portion of the shoe to give it more of a proportional and balanced look.

Nike will be doing something completely different when it comes to the upcoming What The colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2. For starters, we’ll be seeing not one, but two different colorways release. The first is the tonal Green Glow pair that we recently took an official look at, and the second is this Sail pair.

Differentiating itself from prior “What The” releases, Nike decided to abandon the color mashup on the Kyrie 2 model and instead go with a material mash up. What do we mean? Well instead of combining together past colorways of the Kyrie 2, Nike decided to take a more monotone, sculptural, dimensional execution with very minimal color pops. The Nike team tells the story of the “What The” Kyrie 2 in a three dimensional fashion with textural graphics carefully molded on both shoes. This Sail colorway nods back to the debut ?Dream? Kyrie 2, while the green glow edition acknowledges the ?Kyrie-oke? edition.

Look for this Sail colorway to release exclusively in North America while the Green Glow pair will be available in the rest of the world. Both pairs will release on December 12th 2016 for $120.

Author’s Take

I understand the switching up of the idea with this “What The” colorway since the color mash up thing was getting played out. I just don’t really see this as a “What The” colorway because from a distance you won’t be able to notice the different materials. I expect these to sit on shelves.

Aside from the Nike Air Force 1 Low NYC releasing this upcoming weekend, Nike has decided to also bring back the Nike Air Force 1 Low Chi-Town you see above. Said to be a Chicago exclusive, let’s get a better look at the shoe.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Chi-Town made its initial debut back in 2004, and after 12 years Nike has decided to bring it back. The shoe don’s Chicago-vibes as a Black and Red color scheme take care of the upper. What really give the shoe a Chi-Town feel is the Chi-Town branding placed on both the heel and tongue. Hits of White noted on the laces and midsole help give the shoe even more of a Bull-like theme. Set to release December 10th at select Chicago retailers, are you trying to re-up on this pair?

Must-have if you’re a Chicago native. Although it’s not the most comfortable sneaker on the market, sometimes pain is beauty (haha).

Kobe Bryant’s 12th signature silhouette, the Kobe AD, has made waves thanks to its sleek design, moving away from the numbered installments, and for the Lunarlon foam midsole paired with Dynamic Flywire and a unique heel construction. The coming Nike Kobe AD Black/White was slated to release on December 16th but is available now at select spots like Capsule Toronto.

When talking about the pair, Kobe made sure to let the world know that he wanted the performance aspects to be refined and perfected. A Zoom Air unit in the heel pairs perfectly with Lunarlon foam for a comfortable ride while Dynamic Flywire adds lockdown support. Micro-treaded traction grips the hardwood for easy, quick cuts while the pair opts for Engineered Mesh on the upper instead of the premium Flyknit construction from year’s past (although Nike hasn’t ruled out the knit construction for possible Elite models in the future).

What do you think of the coming Nike Kobe AD Black/White? Check out more detailed shots below and be sure to head over to our Release Dates page for an updated look at all of Nike Basketball’s latest and greatest. Know that you can grab this pair early right now via Capsule Toronto for $160 USD.

We’ve been treated to a number of OG Air Jordan 1 colorways throughout this year, and Jordan Brand will only continue to revitalize the classic first signature from 1985 with a number of new Air Jordan 1 “Rare Air” colorways featuring a new ‘Nike Air’ stitching on the heel panel for Spring 2017. Sneaker Bar Detroit posted these new photos featuring some nice alternate options if you missed out on the fragment 1s or Shattered Backboards given the matching Soar Blue and Max Orange colorways slated to arrive in the near future.

Sure, the Wings-less feature is the first call-to-attention here with bold ‘Air Jordan’ block letters replacing the classic ‘Wings’ logo on the ankle collar, but what do you think about the additional Swoosh landing on the heel? Be on the lookout for these Air Jordan 1 “Rare Air” pairs to arrive at retailers come January 2017, but head over to our always-updated Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at the latest and greatest from the Jumpman.
