With early rumors suggesting this silhouette to be the Nike LeBron Ambassador 9, it’s now featured in a timeless palette of black/white, following an initial reveal in wine red.

The sneaker essentially flaunts a refined aesthetic compared to its predecessor, as the synthetic/mesh upper is rendered in black, while pops of white are utilized for its enlarged Swoosh branding on the toe box and outsole unit to pronounce its simplistic profile. Other notable details include the number ?2? and ?3? on the tongues and its ?SFG? pull heel tab.

A release date for this pair has not been announced, but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

It’s a versatile option in this colorway. I like the sleek design of the silhouette overall.

Kobe Bryant’s playing days may be over, but Nike Basketball plans on continuing his signature series in a new and excting way. This isn’t the Kobe 12 though – instead, the post-playing-days Black Mamba collection will go by a different monicker – the Nike Kobe A.D. – a reference to the traits that make up the Mamba Mentality in a simple, refined build that features Lunarlon cushioning, Nike Zoom Air, and Dynamic Flywire for a reliable, sleek design sure to be a fan-favorite.

Today we get a brand new Nike Kobe AD colorway, as a simple Black/White offering will land at retailers on December 16th, 2016 for $160 USD. That iridescent heel counter is absent here as the simple all-black upper is accented by contrasting white branding while that unique DNA helix comprised of two snakes hits the heel in a contrasting red. What do you think of the latest Nike Kobe AD colorway?

In addition to these two colorways, the Nike Air Penny 4‘s return next year will also be offered in a Copper highlighted finish.

Flaunting a predominantly understated palette of wolf grey and anthracite across its leather and suede composition, the upper is accentuated with the defining metallic copper hue which is prominently seen on the strap buckle, Penny logos, heel unit and side trim.

Expect this ?Metallic Copper Coin? iteration of the basketball sneaker to debut at select Nike retailers sometime during early 2017.

NikeLab presents its latest collaboration, this time feating A$AP Bari?s VLONE label reworking the iconic Air Force 1 Low.

The Nike Air Max 2017 is almost here, and for those that still pay attention to the yearly update to The Swoosh’s flagship full-length Air runner, today you can get an on-foot preview of the shoe. Sure, the modern Air Max models certainly don’t get as much love as the classics?possibly because they all look about the same and cost more than most people are willing to spend on a running shoe?but the big bubble loyalists can enjoy a look at a vibrant women’s colorway of the shoe in a Bright Grape to Fire Pink transition across the mesh upper here. Arriving now at European retailers, the Air Max 2017 officially drops on November 7th.

As with all styles featured in this range, the sneakers are essentially detailed with the line’s distinctive theme of a hawk?s feather print. This black-and-white motif is prominent on its inner lining, while black, white and turquoise accents drape the sneaker?s profile to round out its respective colorway overall.

We’ve been seeing more and more of the Nike Air Max 90 Mid Utility over these lat couple of weeks. Up next for the hybrid model is this clean and simple White and Black colorway. Created and constructed to protect you from the harsh weather, let’s take a closer look at the shoe.

The most notable feature on the Nike Air Max 90 Mid Utility is without a doubt the shroud housing the majority of the upper. The shroud also serves as a weather-proof layer to protect you from the rain. Hits of Black are noted on the heel, lining, toe cap and the area surrounding the Air Max unit. Are you a fan of the model? Speak your mind down in the comments below.

Not really diggin’ this version of the Air Max 90. Not only that, it only rains like 6 days out of the year where I live, so I also have no need for the water-proof upper as well.

In addition to the recently featured Air Max 90, the Pendleton x Nike Air Max 1 will also make its starting next week, following its official reveal months earlier.

As with the aforesaid pair, the iconic runner is essentially detailed with the Oregon-based clothing label’s signature patterned wool material, which is particularly evident on the toe box, side panels and along the collar section. Tonal black comprises the majority of its premium build while pops of stratus blue are seen on the heel for a subtle touch of vibrance.

With its retail price tag listed at $110, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers nationwide starting November 9th.

Back in September we let you know that Nike Air Shake NDestrukt will make a return sometime next year. We now got word of some of the colorways expected to drop when the shoe finally arrives.

Made popular by Dennis Rodman who wore them back in the mid-90’s, the Nike Air Shake NDestrukt will be releasing in the colorways you see above, also known as the home and away colorways. Just like Rodman and his personality, the construction of the shoe is “different” to say the least. From the lacing to the placement of the Swoosh branding, there’s no denying these are Rodman’s kicks. Although the images above are not the actual 2017 version, you can expect next year’s release to be fairly similar. Are you diggin’ the Home or Away Bulls colorway of the mode? Expect these to drop early next year.

Never owned a pair, thought they were odd looking. 20 years later, I?ve learned to appreciate the ?weird? look of the shoe. It was ahead of its time. Glad to see it make a return.

I mean, it only made sense right? The Nike Air Foamposite One Royal made it’s initial debut back in 1997, so why not drop the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal 20th Anniversary in 2017? Nope. Although that was the initial plan, it looks like Nike has moved up the release date on the shoe to drop next month! Yup, the 20th anniversary shoe is dropping on year 19. Ha!

The Nike Air Foamposite One Royal 20th Anniversary comes in a clean Royal postie shell upper accented by the Black placed on the lining, laces. mesh tongue and nubuck on the trim. Below you will find a translucent outsole that blends in nicely with the rest of the shoe. So….what’s the new release date. As of today you can expect the shoe to drop on December 15th for $230.

With the Nike Kobe A.D. releasing in its inaugural colorway later on this month for $160, you knew it was only a matter of time before new colorways began to surface. Well, that didn’t take long. What you see above are official images of a Black and White colorway of the Kobe A.D.

The second colorway has the shoe come in a Black mesh upper accompanied by even more Black noted on the laces, Flywire and tongue.

As of right now, this colorway of the Kobe A.D. is set to drop on December 16th (Friday). Do these grab your attention? Let us know in the comments below.

Simple, but solid. The only thing I could do without is the White on the lining, but that’s just me nitpicking.

As most of you know, adidas has been the NBA’s official on-court apparel provider for a handful of years now. What some of you may or may not know is that Nike will soon be taking that spot and become the heavy hitters of the NBA. Nike will begin being the official on-court apparel provider of the NBA staring with the upcoming 2017-2018 season. Although this season has barely began, I guess it’s never too early for a sneak peak at next year’s Nike NBA uniforms, right?

Above you will see a leaked image that shows the Philadelphia 76ers’ jerseys and shorts made by Nike. Are you happy with adidas exiting and Nike entering? Does it even matter to you? Let us know in the comments below.

The Nike NBA deal is an eight-year partnership.

While official images of the Pendleton x Nike Air Max 90 were already published since March, the sneaker’s availability has been in question until now.

With both labels located in Oregon and previously working on collaborations, this iteration of the iconic runner is essentially detailed with the clothing brand’s signature patterned woolen material across its mudguard. A blacked-out profile with stratus blue accents perfectly complement and round out the theme overall.

Priced at $160, you can expect to find this limited edition pair at select Nike retailers nationwide starting November 9th.

You can never go wrong with this runner. The colorway and patterned design overall is a great combination and it’s perfect for the season.
