With the unveiling of the new Kobe A.D., this Nike Kobe 11 Invisibility Cloak, may perhaps be one of the last iterations of Bryant’s final on-court signature sneaker.

Taking cues from the Nike Zoom Kobe 7 that debuted in 2012, the low-top basketball sneaker flaunts a similar palette which is covered in a stealthy hue of all-black across its upper. Pops of hot pink pronounce the design, which is evidenced on the flywire system and sheath logo on the tongue, while reflective accents are visible with the Swooshes across its side panels. Finally, an icy blue translucent outsole finishes off the profile.

Retailing for $160, you can buy this standout pair at select Nike retailers starting tomorrow, Friday, November 4th.

I?ll always be an advocate for the silhouette. This iteration is another appealing option. The slight touches of pink are nice touch.

The Nike Air Huarache SE, which consists as a more premium iteration of the classic Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette, is offered in another vibrant theme this season.

The popular ?90s model boasts a refreshed upper with suede covering the toe box rendered in light and dark shades of grey, while the intricately textured synthetic lacing apparatus is treated in contrasting green.

A gold leaf-colored heel cage further pronounces its understated profile, as the silhouette’s neoprene bootie construction is colored in metallic silver, while floral motifs is also seen on the insoles. Finally, a light bone midsole unit and black outsole finishes off the bold colorway.

This pair is suggested to make its debut at select Nike retailers on December 1st.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

This style is always appealing in whatever colorway. This rendition is another solid option and the colorway is appealing overall.

Originally seen in 2001, the classic Nike Air Force 1 Low Los Angeles will be offered once again this season for its first-ever retro iteration.

As suggested, the sneaker’s aesthetic theme is inspired by the Los Angeles Lakers’ signature palette. Flaunting a predominantly white hue across its premium leather upper, hits of gold located on the heel tab, Swooshes, laces and outsole pronounce the profile, while purple accents are prominent on the “LA” logos gracing the tongue and heels to cap off the respective theme perfectly.

The limited edition sneaker will be available at ComplexCon in Long Beach, California first on November 5th and 6th for $89, with a wider release expected on December 10th, exclusively at select Nike retailers in Los Angeles.

You can never go wrong with a classic style. This colorway is appealing in general and due to its exclusivity, it should garner a lot of attention.

The city of Chicago wasn’t quite lacking in the Championship department. Jordan and Bulls brought home 6 trophies in the 90s, the Blackhawks won three Stanley Cups over the last seven years, the Bears won their first and only Superbowl in 1986, and even the White Sox took it all just over a decade ago.

Cubs fans haven’t had the opportunity to bask in the euphoria of championship glory since 1908. Disappointment was the norm and empty hopes of “someday” populated the Wrigley Field seats season after season.

Tonight, “someday” became “today”. The Cubs came back from an improbable 3-1 deficit against the mighty Cleveland Indians and erased 108 years of falling short (whether it be by an inch or a mile). Nike is joining the city of Chicago in celebration with an innocent portrayal of a young Cubs fans pretending to win it all. Well, there’s no need to pretend anymore.

The return of the Air Max 96 and Air Max 96 II wasn’t as ceremonious as we all expected it to be, and it has only to do with the swapped out Air Max sole. Back in 1996, this celebrated Air Max shoe (which has consistently been ignored by Nike with large-scale Air Max campaigns) featured a completely different Air Max unit that was never used again as Nike toyed with larger volume and Tuned Air bags. For the contemporary offering, the Air Max 96 and 96 II take on the Air Max 95 Ultra sole, which despite being a rather seamless fit for the shoes, is a bit of a let-down for those who have been waiting for a while. This crisp new black/white colorway should sway some minds; look for these in Nike Sportswear retailers on November 3rd.

Just like the Nike Flyknit Racer, the Flyknit Air Max seems to be staying put indefinitely in the brand’s catalog. How do they keep the model interesting after multiple years on the shelves? Amazing new colorways like this, that’s how. The latest “multicolor” look for the Flyknit Air Max is definitely one of its best yet, featuring a mix of an “Oreo” combination of black and white that transitions to the rainbow mix on the lower half of the upper. Meanwhile, a bright Volt Air unit makes them even more eye-catching. Available now in Asia, the latest and greatest Flyknit Air Max colorway can be found in the US soon.

Way back in May we shared with you a sneak peak of the Anti Social Social Club x Nike Air Force 1 Low. Now we got word that this highly anticipated collaboration will be releasing this weekend exclusively at ComplexCon.

Said to be limited to only 24 pairs, the all-White kicks are highlighted by the ASSC branding on the rear portion of the lateral side, as well as the “GET WEIRD” branding on the tongue. How do you get a pair? Twelve pairs will be given away each day (11/5-11/6) via a raffle ticket system; tickets will be handed out to each person who purchases something from the ?Paranoid? collection. It is still unclear whether a winning ticket gives you the shoes for free, or simply allows you to buy a pair of the limited kicks. To those in attendance, best of luck!

I may be bashed for saying this, but isn’t this collab a little lackluster? That’s just me though.

The Nike Air Presto Extreme is the latest rendition deriving from the classic Nike Air Presto silhouette. A brand new loos is placed on the shoe’s upper, let’s take a closer look and see what it’s all about.

Steering away from the model’s traditional look, this version of the Presto gets rid of the entire Presto cage. Just like you’d expect, this results in a brand new aesthetic. Taking the place of the cage is the midfoot strap that also serves as a separation between the front and back portion of the shoe. The slip-on heel region of the shoe appears to be done out of a ventilated sports mesh. Nike Swoosh branding appears on the toe and midsole, while pull tabs are present on both the tongue and heel. As of right now, only this Black and White colorway has been unveiled, keep it locked as more info and colorways begin to surface. First thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

I like the strap look. It still has a Presto feel to it, but at the same time it also has a look of its own.

Just yesterday the next signature shoe in the Kobe Bryant line was unveiled with the Nike Kobe A.D. So why did Kobe and Nike decide to name it the Kobe A.D. and not the Kobe 12?

That question and a lot more are talked about in this sneaker unboxing video that you see above done by Jacques Slade. The video dives into how Kobe is keeping busy now that he’s retired, the tech specs of the Kobe A.D., and much more. Watch the video above and let us know if you plan on picking up the Nike Kobe A.D. when it hits retailers on November 22nd. Retail price will be $160.

There?s some good news for all of you Nike Air Force 1 traditionalists out there. Nike Sportswear just announced the return of the classic Nike Air Force 1 LA retro, a pair that originally dropped back in 2001 featuring a subtle homage to Laker-land through the use of a premium white leather upper, yellow accents, and touches of purple on an exclusive graffiti-inspired ?LA? logo on the heel and tongue.

The Nike Air Force 1 LA will release in a limited run at ComplexCon on November 5th and November 6th followed by a December 10th release at select Los Angeles retail spots. Remember, Stadium Goods and Nike also teamed up to drop some sick AF1 heat at Complex Con for just $89 a piece.

Kobe Bryant’s next signature shoe, the Nike Kobe A.D., is slated to release later this November and after an official unveiling, today we get the Black Mamba’s own thoughts on the Kobe AD courtesy of an unboxing from Jacques Slade.

Nike Basketball is trying to embody the ‘Mamba Mentality’ with this silhouette even though Kobe has retired for good. That means technological advancements in Lunarlon and Zoom Air have all been refined and perfected to push this silhouette to an entirely new level of performance. Kobe states that the Nike Kobe AD is all about precision and efficiency and even speaks on the evolution of the design process.

Check out the full video below full of exclusive Kobe quotes, his thoughts on retirement, and stay tuned for the debut colorway of the Nike Kobe AD to arrive at retailers on November 22nd for $160 USD.

Following an initial preview last month, new images of this silhouette are indeed suggested to be the new Nike LeBron Ambassador 9 according to multiple sources.

With its official debut expected soon, this latest look depicts the silhouette’s more refined aesthetic, compared to its predecessor. Rendered in the Cleveland Cavaliers signature colors respectively, wine red covers the upper, while accents of gold throughout further pronounce the already eye-catching profile.

Notable details include the number ?2? and ?3? on the tongues and its ?SFG? pull heel tab, as it finished off with a versatile and complementing gum sole unit.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

The newly-introduced Nike Air Presto Mid Utility will be offered in a number of colorways for its inaugural lineup this Fall/Winter 2016, as one notable highlight consists of this black/metallic gold pair.

Essentially a revamped makeover of the classic silhouette that inherits boot aesthetics, the retro runner incorporates a weather-resistant stretchy, sock-like upper, extended collar with zippers for easier accessibility and stylish flair, as well as reflective detailing throughout.

Black dominates the majority of its profile, while metallic gold is prominent on the lacing cage system, toe cap and branding on the tongue. Finally, white and yellow is implemented across the heel, midsole and outsole to further pronounce its design.

Recently offered in colorways of Purple Smoke, Noble Red and Tan, the Nike Air Unlimited is revealed in another tonal finish for this Fall/Winter 2016 season.

The vintage basketball sneaker is essentially treated in a traditional palette with stealthy black covering its entire smooth leather upper, neoprene bootie construction, distinctive cross-pull strapping system across the mid-foot and laces. A crisp white rubber sole unit juxtaposes the overall profile to create a simple and clean two-tone finish.

You can expect to find this model at select Nike retailers soon for a retail price tag of $180.

I?m a fan of the classic design and this colorway is a stylish/versatile pair. I still prefer the previous tan version though, just because it?s a bit more stylish.

To follow up on its recent official introduction, a lifestyle editorial of the newly-introduced Nike Special Field Air Force 1 — Nike SF AF-1 — is featured, as it’s the next generation of the iconic silhouette.

Maintaining its signature design profile intact, the model exudes a military vibe with its dual set of removable straps, alongside premium full-grain leather throughout the upper. In addition, ballistic nylon is also implemented along the rear side panels to provide even more weather resistance for the fall/winter season.

Showcased in colorways of black, white and brown, you can find each pair in women’s ($185) and men’s ($200) sizes at select Nike retailers starting November 5th.

I’m not really into high-cut designs much, but, this new rendition of the silhouette is pretty solid. It balances style and functionality perfectly, plus the colorways are versatile.
