Last offered in 2009, the Nike Air Zoom Tallac Lite has been resurrected to suit the harsh winter season ahead.

Draped in an official palette of Pure Platinum/Blue Lagoon/Black/Deep Night — the model is further detailed with a gusseted tongue that sits comfortably at your ankle, pull tabs at tongue and heel, a rubber outsole for durable traction.

Retailing for $180, you can purchase this latest iteration at select Nike retailers and online now.

To kick-off the last month of the year, the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Essential is offered in a new colorway of Light Bone/Bluecap.

Additional contrasting elements are black swooshes and gold leaf gracing the inner lining and branding on the rear. Finally, a clean white midsole unit and floral printed insoles finishes off its design.

Nike LeBron 14 Update: It Comes With A Strap!

LA Times

The last time we covered any kind of information regarding the Nike LeBron 14 was a couple months ago when we let you know that the 14th Nike LeBron signature shoe would be making its debut sometime during the month of January (2017). We’re now one month away from the new year and the info on the shoe is still at a minimum.

This is what we know so far.

  • The Nike LeBron 14 will release in January
  • It is being reported that it will retail at $175

That’s about it. We had initially thought that this was the Nike LeBron 14, but this latest info coming out of ESPN proves that that is not the case.

Dave McMenamin from ESPN recently reported that LeBron James was warming up in an all-black pair of LeBron 14?s during a shootaround in Cleveland this morning. As soon as LeBron saw the reporters he was quick to take off the shoes before any kind of pictures were taken. McMenamin stated that the shoe LeBron was wearing was not the shoe we initially thought was the LeBron 14. Reason being, the one he got glance at came with a strap. Being that LeBron favors his strap-equipped LeBron Soldier model, it would not be a surprise to see that the LeBron 14 could also come equipped with a strap.

This is what McMenamin had to say about what he saw.

 

?LeBron James wore an all black pair of the yet-to-be-released Nike LeBron 14 to shootaround Thursday but took them off before talking to the press so reporters couldn?t snap photos of them. They don?t look like the images that leaked in August at all. James let ESPN.com inspect them, as long as we promised not to take a photo, and they are very sharp. One clue to what to expect when they drop in January: strap.?

Author’s Take

I’m glad they’re not this. Now I’m curious to see what they actually look like. I hope Lebron gets a good one. He deserves it.

Heres An Official List Of The 2016 Nike Mag Winners

NIKE MAG

The winners of the 2016 auto lacing Nike Mag were announced in mid-October and if you entered the raffle you were probably glued to your phone for a couple of hours that day awaiting that notification on the Nike+ app. But unfortunately very few people received good news as there were only 89 pairs made available.

Classics Unboxed: Parras Nike Air Max 1 Amsterdam Paid Homage To The Citys Infamous Underbelly

Dutch artist Parra’s Nike Air Max 1 “Amsterdam” collaboration remains one of the most sought after collaborative renditions of Tinker Hatfield’s iconic 1987 visible air runner. Sure, the Parra x Patta x Air Max 1 may be a league above Parra’s individual pair, but this Burgundy, Pink, and Turquoise Blue banger displays Parra’s unique sensibilities and remains to be a true classic.

Initially, this pair was supposed to be inspired by Amsterdam supermarket chain Albert Heijn, until a simple rebrand forced the Dutch self-taught illustrator to ditch that theme for a more vague homage to the city’s infamous nightlife scene and the Red Light District.

Every Thursday we’ll be bringing you new Classics Unboxed heat to bring back some of our favorite collaborations, unearth untold stories about some of the craziest campouts before the days of online launches, and focus on the never before seen details of your holy grails.

Check out our latest installment featuring the Parra’s Nike Air Max 1 “Amsterdam” from 2005 and stay up to date on the latest and greatest right here on Sneaker News.
