Sneakerboot season is finally here and today we take a first look at the all-new Nike Air Max Thea Mid.

The popular Nike Air Max silhouette has been transformed into a sneakerboot by Nike as we take a first look at the shoe above. Nike has decided to do away with the laces and has covered the shoe in a full leather upper. Converted into a mid-top, this new version of the Nike Air Max Thea also comes with elastic detailing by the ankle, and a traditional Air Max Thea sole unit done in white. Up above we take a look at three different color options of black, burgundy, and brown, all which are expected to release for the ladies this Fall. There is no release date yet for the Nike Air Max Thea Mid but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for developments.

I’ve liked a few colorways of the Nike Air Max Thea, but I don’t mess with the shoe that much to like this new Mid/Sneakerboot look. These are a pass for me.

It’s now officially fall, which means you better get ready for a new onslaught of “Wheat” sneakers hitting the shelves. If the recent trend continues, we predict more “Wheat” sneakers than ever before this season, as the volume of Timberland-inspired looks have seemed to increase each fall for the past three years or so. Helping you weed through the wheat, we suggest this excellent tan nubuck rendition of the Nike Air Max BW, which should be arriving at US Nike Sportswear retailers soon.

Following black and white variations, the Nike Hyperdunk Lux is set to debut in cool grey next.

Staying true to its iconic design, this rendition flaunts more lifestyle appeal with the utilization of a woven upper, instead of its traditional Hyperfuse construction. Soft leather is also implemented on the mudguard while tonal 3M reflective overlays overlays adorn the toe, eye stays and along the side panels to further exude its premium look, as well as increasing its visibility.

All juxtaposed against a crisp, white full-length rubber sole unit, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers soon for $170.

Stay tuned for updates.

I like this construction more than its original build. This colorway is a classic as well, so it should do well for die-hard fanatics.

The popular “Wheat” theme, which was evident on the Air Max 90 and Air Max 95, has also been applied to the versatile Nike Metcon 2.

A silhouette that’s intended for those who do “high intensity training”, the low-top model is essentially doused in the defining brownish/tan hue. Contrasting black accents are applied on the flywire system and heel counter to nicely offset the makeup, while a durable gum outsole complements the overall theme perfectly.

With its retail price listed at $130, you can purchase this standout iteration at select Nike retailers nationwide, as well as directly through its official online shop now.

While the Dave White Albion pack is releasing tomorrow, the Nike Air Max 95 Essential is rendered in another solid colorway to kick-off Autumn.

Sporting an official palette of Light Taupe/Dark Grey, the sneaker is essentially crafted out of premium materials such as leather and suede, alongside portions of mesh to increase ventilation. Its understated makeup is further detailed with contrasting accents across its side panels, laces and miniature swooshes across its heel, which are shaded in black. Finally, the signature air bubble enhanced full-length sole unit rounds out the design.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers worldwide now.

To follow up on its standout campfire iteration, the Nike Air Huarache is offered in a more fall-appropriate finish to coordinate with the start of the season.

Defined by burgundy-like team red hue across its entire upper, the sneaker is comprised of signature elements — neoprene, leather and mesh. Contrasting black accents are seen on the distinctive heel cage system and outsole, while pops of white are utilized for the tongue branding, side panels and midsole unit to cap off the profile.

Will we ever stop seeing new colorways of the Nike Air Max 95? The answer is almost assuredly no. But that’s quite alright with everyone as long as the new looks continue to be this nice. The more-than-classic Air Max model arrives next in this very fall-appropriate rendition, featuring a Light Taupe suede upper and midsole with accents in dark grey for a clean and premium two-tone presentation. If you’re an Air Max 95 fan, this is going to be a release that’s hard to resist. You can find pairs arriving now at select European sneaker shops, which means they’ll be hitting the US soon.

So what exactly is the inspiration behind this new Nike Kyrie 2 colorway? While some outlets are calling them the “Black Speckle” colorway, there are also those who say that it’s called the “Wolf Pack” that’s part of a larger all-encompassing collection of sneakers. Regardless of the affiliation, this is another solid release for Kyrie Irving’s second signature shoe, which has won the hearts and minds of his fans and sneaker community at large for its affordable price point, appealing style and standout colorways. While you won’t expect this pair to be high on the hype scale, you can be sure this will be one that Uncle Drew’s fans will be excited to cop when they drop this weekend. Now if only we knew a little bit more about the Nike Kyrie 3. Hey, wait a minute…

As we transition from the Summer to the Fall, we can expect to see a handful of sneakers be modified or altered to better suited for the change of weather.

The popular Nike Dunk has already made the change as we take a look at the all-new Nike Dunk High Ultra Rain. As the name suggests, this Dunk was designed with the wet weather in mind as it is covered in a black leather upper with a red and black plaid inner liner and umbrella logos on the tongue. Other details include white laces and a white midsole.

You can find this Nike Dunk High Ultra at select Swoosh retailers this Fall for $90. Will you be copping?

Author’s Take

The umbrella logo and the plaid inner liner are small details, but they make this Nike Dunk stand out a bit. I think more could have been done on the upper to give it that Fall/Winter look.

Previously on display at the Nike SNKRS Out The Box exhibit at this past weekend’s Yo’Hood show in Shanghai, the Nike SFAF-1, or the Special Field Air Force 1, adapts military-grade materials and aesthetic to the classic Kilgore silhouette, with an SFB-infused upper built with premium leather and extra-durable ballistic nylon. The paracord ankle strap also doubles as a handle for a matching bag that comes accompanied with the NikeLab release of the shoes. Designed by Nike Sportswear footwear designer Ben Kirschner, the Nike Special Field Air Force 1 is set for a release next month with an MSRP of $180. Detailed photos are just ahead.

It looks like Nike is giving the Kobe signature line a Halloween-theme sneaker this year. I’m glad I was told ahead of time because I would have never guessed it based on what the shoe looks like from afar. No Orange, no Purple, what’s up with that? Anyhow, let’s see if we can find anything remotely related to one of the best holidays of the year.

The Nike Kobe 11 Halloween comes in a tonal grey Flyknit upper. The same hue can be found on the Nike Swoosh, tongue branding and sole unit. The only parts of the shoe that symbolizes any kind of Halloween theme are the skeletal ribs on the heel, the spine-like print on the heel tab strip and the skulls noted on the insoles. Spotted for sale in Japan, we will let you know if/when these ever arrive stateside. First thoughts on the shoe? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

I’m curious to see what the theme-correlation is. If it truly is Halloween, I wish it had more of a feel to it.

Kobe may be retired, but his signature line with Nike is alive and well. It seems like a new colorway of the Kobe 11 drops every week, right? Up next is the Nike Kobe 11 Black Space set to release at the beginning of next month.

The Nike Kobe 11 Black Space is said to symbolize the dark void that Kobe has left in the NBA now that he has retired. Pretty deep, huh? The shoe is made out of a Black Flyknit upper accompanied by a bit of suede placed on the heel. The usual branding appears on the tongue and left heel, while two X’ are noted on the right heel. No word on what those two Xs mean yet. An icy sole and a tonal Nike Swoosh add a perfect finishing touch to the shoe. Said to be dropping on October 1st for $200, is this a Kobe 11 that you’re looking to pick up?

Really nice. The Black combined with the icy sole works rather well. I’m sure these are going to sell well.

The Nike Air Max Zero tries on the Ultramarine colorway on for size. If you’re looking for a White sneaker with just a bit of color, take a good look at this pair.

The Nike Air Max Zero Ultramarine comes with a White upper constructed out of a combination of mesh and fuse. Breaking up the tonal look is the Purple and Pinkish hues noted on areas such as the Nike Swoosh, lining, outsole, tongue and heel branding. A White midsole and White set of laces blend in effortlessly with the base of the shoe. No official release date yet, but these can now be found at select retailers such as Capsule. You a fan of this colorway? Let us know in the comments below.

I used to have the Air Max 180 in this exact colorway. It’s a great color scheme, and the Air Max Zero is no exception.
