Kevin Durant already dropped a Nike KD 9 Home, but this is not that shoe, this is the Nike KD 9 Home 2. a new colorway with some similar features. Donning a two-toned look, this Home version of the Nike KD 9 is done in a Flyknit upper with White thread on the forefoot and Blue mesh on the lateral part of the shoe. Additional hits of White can be seen on the laces, Nike Swoosh and the KD branding on the heel. Below you will find a White sole unit with visible Zoom cushioning. Being that it’s a Home colorway, a little bit of Yellow would have been nice, right? Regardless, the shoe is slated for a February 16th release for $150. Cop?

Author’s Take

I like the split-colored look on the shoe, I don’t seem much of a “Home” feel to it, but it’s still a solid colorway on the KD 9.

Two bright colorways of the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 will be releasing later this month, with both pairs being designed exclusively for the ladies.

Both opting for suede uppers, this first pair comes draped in Gold Dart while the other goes with more of a Christmas look as it’s done in Stadium Green. Additional splashes of color get added to both pairs on the mudguard as well as white sole units.

Expect both of these colorways to arrive at Nike Sportswear retailers later this month. Which one do you like better ladies?

If I were to ever pick up a pair of Air Tech Challenge 2s it would be something not as bright as these pairs. I’ll leave these for the hardcore fans of the sneaker.

As part of the stellar 12 Soles Collection releasing for the Holiday 2016 season will be this variation of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 dubbed, “Urban Haze.”

Treated in an autumnal appropriate hue of olive across its smooth suede and mesh upper, the militaristic-inspired color scheme is perfectly complemented with a clean sail white-colored rubber sole unit for a nice two-tone finish overall.

Priced at $160, this pair is slated to make its debut at select Nike retailers starting Tuesday, December 20th.

I?ve always been a fan of this line. I haven?t purchased it in a while and I might do so now since I really like this colorway.

Reminds me a lot of the Kyrie 1. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. I don’t think people would want to buy a shoe that looks very similar to another one that recently released.

Nike Basketball will be starting the Christmas season a little early this year as they’ll begin releasing their first Christmas-themed sneaker of the year tomorrow.

Kevin Durant does the honors as his KD 9 will be releasing in this “The Sauce” colorway that you see above. Believe to be inspired by cranberry sauce (that is typically eaten during the holidays), this KD 9 features a full Deep Burgundy upper with Bright Crimson hits on the inner liner and the front portion of the Flyknit. Metallic Red Bronze is then placed on the Swoosh branding on the side panels.

You can pick up the Nike KD 9 The Sauce at select Nike retailers beginning tomorrow, December 5th for $150.

Solid colorway of the KD 9. Love the burgundy upper, but could have done without the crimson accents.

The classic Dr. Doom pair recently released and this upcoming variation of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro continues the Fantastic Four theme next year with a Metallic Silver ? ?Silver Surfer?-inspired finish.

The basketball sneaker?s defining shimmering hue essentially covers its rugged profile, which also bears a carbon fiber print throughout for a more distinctive look.

Contrasting black accents adorning the tongue, eye stays and inner lining further pronounce the design, as more shiny elements are evidenced with the Swoosh logos adorning each side panel. Finally, a translucent outsole finishes off the overall makeup.

Pried at $250, you can purchase this standout model at select Nike retailers starting March 2017.

This style is one of my favorite bball sneakers, so I?ll always be an advocate. The finish is pretty clean and I like the carbon fiber detailing throughout.

Organically elevating the Air Force 1s innovative look and deep-rooted heritage, Amsterdam-based photographer and director Joost van Brug first created his signature, symmetrical sneaker images thanks to an interest in his brother?s passion for sneakers and their iconic colorways.

?I wanted to shoot something new with sneakers, and my brother is obsessed with Nikes. To me, his collection is just the same shoe in different colors and a big color palette. I just pick shoes based on the color I like, but he told me the stories behind the colorways in his collection.?

An interest in his brother?s favorites sneakers, and in sneaker culture at large, pushed Joost to explore new methods of capturing their essence. In an effort to create a nonrepresentational image of something as recognizable as an iconic sneaker, Joost ultimately developed a motion blur technique, which captures the colors of iconic kicks as they rotate around an axis point.

?For me, seeing my brother?s collection was just seeing a color change in the same shoe. I thought, ?What if I just get rid of all the information of a shoe, so you don?t even recognize it as one? If you just have the colors, do you still know what shoe it is?? That?s how I came up with the abstract motion blur.?

His new abstract technique highlights the iconic colors of Nike?s most eye-catching sneakers, while also giving each shoe a more nuanced, visceral identity.

The Nike Air Zoom Talaria Mid Flyknit made its debut this week in three different colorways. While the all-black and all-white are more versatile and maybe more popular colorways, if you like to stand out from the pack then this Volt pair is for you.

This eye-catching Air Zoom Talaria Mid comes covered in a suede and mesh upper done in Volt throughout the majority of the upper with strategic hits of black on the toe, tongue, laces, and the elevated ankle collar. White, black, and neon have also been added on the midsole while a multicolored gradient outsole caps things off.

If you want turn a few heads this Fall and Winter then you can pick up this Nike Air Zoom Talaria Mid Flyknit in Volt at select Nike accounts now for $200.

Hey, if you?re going to wear a unique shoe, you might as well make it a colorway that will turn some heads, right? This shoe definitely isn?t for everybody, but if you can pull it off I say go for it.

We recently gave you an initial look at the Comme des Garçons x Nike Air Force 1 Low Emoji which happened to come in an all-White colorway. We now got word that this collaborative effort also comes with a Black pair as well. We’re now here to provide you with a first look of the Black pair as well.

The EMOJI initiative from Comme des Garçons is one of their offerings for the holiday 2016 season. One of their launches included this collaborative effort on the classic Nike Air Force 1 Low. As of right now, both Black and White pairs are available from COMME des GARCONS Pocket stores and Dover Street Market, which leads us to believe that they are in fact collaborations, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet. Although most of the classic aesthetics of the AF1 remain intact, the focal point is noted the mid-foot, which comes with CDG?s signature heart and eyes logo pinned onto the leather upper. You like? If so, you can officially buy them from CdG stores.

The Nike ACG Mowabb made its long-awaited return not too long ago, but ended up fizzling out due to a higher than expected price tag. That doesn’t mean that Nike Sportswear is done tinkering with the legendary trail model from their All Conditions Gear imprint, as today we get a look at an upcoming “Dark Obsidian” Nike ACG Air Mowabb colorway. There’s not too much information about the release other than the fact that Nike’s bringing a premium suede upper to the Tinker Hatfield-designed model along with added perforations throughout. The overall look gives the 90s classic a lifestyle twist that’s sure to be a hit once it arrives at retailers. What do you think of the look? Stay tuned for more updates in the near future and head over to our release dates page for more of the latest and greatest.

It’s almost December, which means it’s also unfortunately almost time for winter to take its annual stranglehold on much of the United States. While you’re pulling out all your winter parkas and extra layers from your closet or hitting the mall to buy new insulation and protection from the wet and cold weather, don’t forget about your feet. If you’re a fan of the sneakerboot genre, then we have an excellent suggestion for you here, the new winterized Nike Air Huarache Utility featuring a “Triple Black” colorway and built with a rubberized coating to protect the mesh and neoprene base.

Another iteration of the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low has surfaced online, and unlike the previously featured pair, this rendition flaunts a blacked-out composition that is punctuated by silver Swooshes and distinctive Off-White branding located on the inner lateral section, as well as the “AIR” text along the midsole and “SHOELACE” hits on the laces.

While it’s unclear if this iteration is an actual collaboration, the silhouette has been seen at Art Basel in Miami, and worn by staff at the brand’s pop-up shop.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.
