Since 1987, Air, one of the key elements of life, has been captured by Nike and transformed into one of the most innovative ideas in footwear history. Over the last thirty years, Nike’s Air technologoy has continuously evolved as more R&D has been devoted to analyzing the sport of running. Soon enough, Nike is ready to unleash its most advanced iteration of Air with the VaporMax, which rids the sole unit of any extra rubber or material. In fact, the VaporMax Air unit is one holistic unit and can independently maintain its unique form with elasticity. The VaporMax, originally slated to be a 2017 release, is confirmed by Wired magazine to release in 2016. Get a detailed look at this new blue colorway below.
The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 Is The Evolution Of The Nike Mag (And FlyEase)
By SoleInsider
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 being revealed a few months ago in New York was “well, what does it sound like?” Well, thankfully Cristiano Ronaldo was around to answer that question for me.
Earlier today, Wired released a feature (that I am insanely jealous of) on the story behind the Nike HyperAdapt and how much of it was born out of the Nike Mag. It goes in-depth into just how long Tinker Hatfield, Tiffany Beers, Mark Parker and Nike has been working on a shoe in the Tinker’s words “would essentially come alive when you put it on”. Spoiler: it was a long time, as you might expect from something as potentially game changing as the HyperAdapt.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the HyperAdapt and the Nike Mag have a lot in common. Anybody that is fortunate rich enough to own a pair of both this year will probably see that the machinations of the shoe are one and the same. The difference is that while the Mag will feel antiquated – but still cool in a retro sort of way – the HyperAdapt will look and feel what we thought 2015 and 2016 would look and feel like in 1989 when we saw Back To The Future Part 2 for the first time. The future really is here now.

But another thought also crossed my mind when I saw the HyperAdapt. I thought about somebody very close to me who struggles to tie their shoes. I thought about Matthew Waltzer, the inspiration for the Nike LeBron Soldier 8 FlyEase, our 2015 Sneaker of the Year winner. I thought about the millions of people out there who suffer from life-altering ailments that prevent them from doing the simple things in life that we take for granted like tying shoes. Maybe they don’t need the zipper collar of the FlyEase to put on a pair of shoes but they need assistance in tying them. The HyperAdapt is another tool that has implications that reaches far beyond our needs as athletes or as sneakerheads. It can changes lives. So debuting it on a grand stage like today was very important.
It’s easy to get on Nike’s case for making shoes that some sneakerheads don’t care for. For them, it’s all about kicks that make them look and feel cool and that the whole reason the brand is the market leader is because of cool, not innovation. It’s the so-called echo chamber that doesn’t understand what the deal is and just want to see new shoes that look like old shoes. Well, the HyperAdapt isn’t for them and quite frankly, Nike probably doesn’t care; it’s for the rest of the world to see that the swoosh are doing things that can help people. Yes, Nike is a business first and foremost, but maybe somebody watching at home sees that there is hope for those in their lives that have disabilities or maybe they become inspired to do take the HyperAdapat and make it better. It’s not always about the product itself but the spark that results from seeing that product. That’s the power of the Nike platform that honestly no other brand in the world has and why I wish I could have been part of that Wired crew that got to go inside the Innovation Kitchen.

Everything You Need To Know About The Nike HyperAdapt 1.0
By SoleInsider
Tech magazine Wired was recently granted access into Nike’s infamous Innovation Kitchen for an exclusive look at the upcoming HyperAdapt 1.0, providing the world with new information and details of the self-lacing sneaker debuted by the brand earlier this year at their Innovation Summit in New York City. With a behind-the scenes look at the making of the HyperAdapt 1.0, lead creators of the shoe Tinker Hatfield and Tiffany Beers revealed exactly how the shoe works.
Twenty-eight years in the making after the fictional power-lacing Nike Mag was featured in Back to the Future Part 2, a fully functioning self-lacing sneaker is finally becoming a reality with the HyperAdapt 1.0. The shoe utilizes what Nike is calling adaptive fit technology, which features four main components: a heel sensor to alert the shoe when a foot enters it, a cable lacing system, a high-tech mini-motor that tightens and loosens the cables, and a rechargeable battery to provide power to the motor and L.E.D. lights within the incredible feat of footwear engineering.
To see the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 in action with more insight from Tinker and Tiffany, watch Wired’s video below, and expect the first-ever power-lacing sneaker to arrive at retail this holiday season. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for an exact release date and pricing information.
Kyrie Irving‘s had quite the 2016. After returning from an injury that sidelined him in last year’s NBA Finals, Kyrie made the most of getting back to the promised land by having a Finals for the ages this year, capped off by a game-winning three-pointer to give the city of Cleveland its first championship in over 5 decades. If that wasn’t enough, Uncle Drew then reconnected with Coach K and won a Gold Medal in the Rio Olympics. Nike Basketball continues to feature the Kyrie 2 in a number of head-turning colorways, and this Saturday, September 24th, you’ll have another option to grab his second signature with the Nike Kyrie 2 Bright Crimson.
The Kyrie 2 Bright Crimson pairs an ominous black mesh upper with a neoprene textured strap and plenty of Bright Crimson speckling throughout. The vibrant contrast pairs perfectly for a flashy aesthetic while a Metallic Silver Swoosh allows for Kyrie’s signature logo to stand out. The durable outsole unit designed for quick cuts and slashes to the basket even gets a darker than usual icy treatment for a unique twist. What do you think of the latest Kyrie 2?

By SoleInsider
While the Halloween and Maroon iterations of the Foamposite One are expected to debut next month, the classic Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom edition is expected to be revived this Holiday 2016 as well.
Notably part of the Fantastic Four Collection that released back in July 2006, this upcoming retro rendition of the silhouette is simply defining by a classic black and white color scheme.

With the retail price listed at $230, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers on Black Friday, November 25th.
Click and bookmark our official Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom launch page now for the latest images, information and release details.
Like our EIC has shared, I still don’t get how this colorway correlates with the character. It’s a nice simple variation overall so I don’t dislike it.
Composed of nylon, suede with leather across its sleek upper, the low-top is rendered in a tonal hue of cool grey and light graphite accents. Pop of white are implemented on the Swooshes, heel tab and tongue branding to pronounce and complement its understated profile, while it all rests atop the signature full-length 360 Air Max unit that offers superb cushioning and comfort upon every step.
With its retail price listed at $210, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers starting this Thursday, September 22.
While the standout Dave White Albion Pack is releasing later this week, the women’s iteration of the Nike Air Max 95 is revealed in a new colorway of ember glow this Fall 2016.
Covered in a color combination of sail white, phantom and light iron ore throughout its entire profile, the defining hue is more prominent on the lace stay, miniature Swooshes on the heel and the signature visible air component throughout its sole unit.
All adhered atop a white midsole, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.
The Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 Black Space Debuts Next Month
By SoleInsider
Joining alongside the KD 9 and Kobe 11, will be a Black Space rendition of the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 as well for the latest pack from Nike Basketball this Fall 2016.
As with all silhouettes includes in this range, the theme consists of an all-black finish. The stealthy hue essentially covers the entire basketball sneaker’s profile, which is punctuated by distinctive straps located on the mid-foot and ankle section.
With a retail price set at $130, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers starting Saturday, October 1st.
Similar to the pair LeBron wore in the Finals, but I would prefer the Finals edition more. You can’t go wrong with this colorway though. It should garner enough attention.
You Can Buy The Supreme x Nike SB Blazer Low GT Again
By SoleInsider
Selling out instantly at Supreme’s official online shop last week, it’s now revealed that the coveted Supreme x Nike SB Blazer Low GT will be offered to the public once again via Nike with the debut of this official imagery.
As showcased, the Blazer Low GT has essentially been revamped with the application of suede for its upper, alongside an embossed gold foil logo on the outside of the heel, leather swoosh and a leather heel panel that features ?FTW? in gold.
Rendered in three classic and bold colorways, rumors suggest that the entire line will debut at Nike‘s online store this Thursday, September 22.
Obviously since it?s a collab with Supreme, the shoe will be sought after. In terms of the new construction and colorways, I?m a fan. I like the tonal look and gum bottoms. Nice and simple.
Official Images Of The Upcoming Nike Kyrie 2 Black Speckle
By SoleInsider
As part of an upcoming pack, official imagery of the Nike Kyrie 2 Black Speckle edition is now revealed, following a previous first look.
Sporting a stealthy profile of black throughout its entire profile, the defining theme is prominent on the distinctive midfoot strap and midsole unit with the application of vivid crimson speckling. Finally, metallic silver Swooshes on the heel and an icy translucent outsole caps off the understated colorway.
Priced at $120, you can purchase this latest variation at select Nike retailers starting Saturday, September 24th.
The sneaker has been releasing in solid colorways so far and this is another good option. I like how the defining theme is subtle, but still appealing overall.
