Preview Nike Sock Dart Releases For November 2016
By SoleInsider
Nike Sportswear’s retro of the Nike Sock Dart, much like the Nike Air Presto, couldn’t have come at a better time. The woven, laceless, slip-on upper is as breathable a model in Nike’s retro catalog and when paired with the head-turning translucent mid-foot strap and an incredibly comfortable natural motion-like outsole unit, the pair not only looks good but is comfortable enough to wear into the ground all summer long. Nike’s latest trio of Sock Dart releases will hit stores later in November 2016 and each features a brand new color blocking that we’ve never seen before.
The Nike Sock Dart has thrived off of monochromatic colorways and the occasional speckled midsole, but here tonal shades of Deep Maroon, Game Royal, and Anthracite all utilize darker and lighter hues on the color spectrum for a unique twist. What do you think of Nike Sportswear’s upcoming Sock Dart release slate? Be sure to check out a full view after the break and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.
If you weren’t that knowledgeable about sneakers, you could easily mistake the Nike Air Foamposite One for a non-Nike product. Without the Nike swoosh on the upper save for the tiny speck on the toe, the prominent Penny Hardaway 1 Cent logo on the heel would have you wondering who exactly made these kicks. The Nike Air Foamposite Pro has no such issues.
With a giant swoosh jewel on the lateral side, Nike reclaimed the Foams right away so there was no confusion from consumers. In the age when few players wore signature shoes that did not belong to them, the Foamposite Pros gave Nike Basketball athletes that weren’t named Penny Hardaway the chance to rock the futuristic kicks. Thanks to superstars like Tim Duncan to Ray Allen wearing the “takedowns”, the One and the Pro have complimented each other ever since. With today’s release of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt that evokes memories of an older Pro release, here are our picks for the Top 10 Nike Air Foamposite Pro Colorways.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom (2006)
Flight Club
Despite multiple Ls Marvel’s First Family has taken at the movies, they are still one of the most iconic franchises in all of comics and deserve better. One of the few times an outside brand got it right was when Nike Sportswear released a sneaker pack based off Reed and Sue Richards (Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman), Ben Grimm (The Thing) and Johnny Storm (Human Torch). But for some reason, a decent colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro got lumped into the pack and inexplicably was called Dr. Doom, even though the shoe had zero connection in color or execution to either movie or comic book Victor Von Doom. There are plenty of Foamposite Pros that opt for the black motif and this is the best of the bunch. Just ignore the Doom references.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Gym Green (2012)
Nike
At the height of Foamposite Mania any release – whether they be new colorway or retro reissue – was an excuse for sneakerheads to line up and camp out for days. In the middle of the year of the Galaxy Foams, the Gym Green Foams became a cult classic thanks to its iridescent upper that shifted color depending on how the light bent towards to the kicks. With all of the Foams that dropped around this time you can be forgiven if you forgot about this colorway, but we didn’t, as evidenced by the random comments that we from time to time from fans who love to say “but what about the Gym Greens?”
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Voltage (1997)
Flight Club
“Volt” wasn’t so much a thing at Nike back in 1997 as much as it was a passing fancy as only a handful of sneakers around that time released with the blindingly bright yellowish green. Similar to the Nike Total Max Uptempo that released around the same, the Voltage was more of a precursor for what was to come at the swoosh, where everything has to have Volt. Not that we’re complaining.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Electric Green (2011)
Foot Locker
When people think of Electric Green and Nike (now that we think about it, where else does Electric Green flourish but at Nike?), the first thing that comes to mind is LeBron James and his Dunkman mini-line of sneakers. While no one would accuse this Foamposite Pro as being a “Dunkman” Foam, the timing of this release and another pair that we’ll reveal later on in this list at the height of LeBron’s sneaker popularity was hard to deny.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Solar Red (2014), Gym Red (2015), Pure Platinum (2016)
Stadium Goods
We all know what these colorways are based from. Anybody that says otherwise are just kidding themselves. Despite Kanye West’s less than amicable split from Nike a few years ago, that didn’t stop the brand from releasing these colorways that are essentially copies of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 drops. To spread the releases out for this long shows the staying power Kanye and Nike have on the sneaker community. While each successive pair seem to sit on store shelves longer than the previous release, don’t expect this trend to slow down anytime soon on other Nike Sportswear drops.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Metallic Silver (2008)
Sole Collector
If Nike had released these around the time of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer movie and sneakerheads started calling them the Silver Surfer Foams (some did, but it wasn’t ubiquitous), it wouldn’t have been as offensive a nickname as the Foams that were named after Doom that you saw previously on this list. Actually, most nicknames aren’t as offensive as the Doom.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Retro (2011)
Foot Locker
Don’t lie, you have a pair of these sitting in your closet with pink laces.
Some might call them Electric Blue, some might call them South Beach, we just call them one of the best Foamposite Pro colorways to ever release. At just the right angle, the shoe is strikingly similar to the now-legendary Nike LeBron 8 South Beach release that this could be considered a consolation prize of sorts. But the Retro Foams stand out in a class of their own with the well-done bright finish that pops like few other Nike silhouettes can.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Varsity Red (2002)
Justin Telfer (via Flickr)
Just don’t call these “Bred” or “Banned” Foams and we’ll be cool. Seriously, don’t…
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Varsity Royal (2001)
Flight Club
Black and Red will always be synonymous with Air Jordans. Black and Blue is where it starts and ends for Foams. No matter the shade of blue, whether it be Varsity, Electric, Current, Vivid, Mirror, Dark Neon and more, they will always be the definitive look for Foams. What started out as a one-off for Penny Hardaway has expanded into a bonafide franchise for Nike, and we haven’t stopped collecting them since.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro White Black True Red/Pearl (1997, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2015)
2015 Release (Nike)
Popularized by Jesus (Shuttlesworth) and the Big Fundamental in the late 90s, the original Foamposite Pro has evolved from a pure white to a more pearlescent (hence the Pearl moniker) finish to back to pure white through the years. But because Nike has always called them White Black True Red, we’re going to follow their lead and bunch all of them together to claim the top spot on this list. Like there was ever any doubt…
The wait is finally over. The highly anticipated sequel to Dylan Raasch’s instant-classic Nike Roshe Run has finally surfaced at select retailers in both a classic mesh construction and a new bolstered Flyknit in an array of head-turning colorways. So what’s next for the Nike Roshe Two? Try two new premium leather builds from NikeLab that showcases the sleek silhouette in all of its newfound premium glory.
The NikeLab Roshe Two introduces the follow-up to arguably Nike Sportswear’s most successful shoe of the 21st century through a luxurious leather construction throughout while the slip-on neoprene sock liner stays for added comfort. A traditional black showcases a boldly stitched Swoosh on the side panel while an off-white Sail midsole makes for a clean finish. A Vachetta Tan Roshe Two is also available at select shops like Undefeated today. Check out a full view below and let us know what you think of the NikeLab Roshe Two by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
The Original Mambacurial Colorway Returns On The Nike Kobe 11
By SoleInsider
How many Kobe 11 Mambacurial versions are we going to get this year? Nike Basketball has already planned on releasing an eclectic “What The Mambacurial” and another premium Flyknit rendition based on Kobe’s love of FC Barcelona. Today we get a look at another upcoming Nike Kobe 11 “Mambacurial” based on the original colorway from the Kobe 8 System in a head-turning combination of Pink Flash, Action Green, and Red Plum.
This time around, Nike Basketball utilizes the Kobe 11 EM instead of the premium woven counterpart. The Kobe 11 Mambacurial benefits from a soccer inspired look even though it ditches the forefoot Swoosh for a more traditional side panel to contrast the bold ‘Nike’ branding on the medial side. The Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial also throws in a semi-translucent outsole to match the Action Green accents throughout. Rumors have the latest Mambacurial Kobe 11 pinned down for a September 15th release. You can check out a full on-foot preview video courtesy of Exclucity after the break. Stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

Official Images Of The Upcoming Nike LeBron 13 Elite Vachetta Tan
By SoleInsider
Official imagery of this new Nike LeBron 13 Elite EXT in vachetta tan is now revealed, as the model is expected to make its debut very soon.
Emitting lifestyle appeal, the performance basketball sneaker is dipped in vachetta tan leather, which essentially covers its perforated upper. Matching laces provide a clean look while contrasting black accents are evidenced with the carbon fiber shank to complement the overall palette. Finally, a crisp white rubber sole unit and translucent outsole tops off the aesthetically pleasing design.
This pair is suggested to make its arrival at select Nike retailers on Friday, September 9th.
The Nike LeBron 13 Low Summer Pack Will Release Next Week
By SoleInsider
Initially releasing at LeBron James’ own UNKNWN flagship store last month, this variation of the Nike LeBron 13 Low is actually part of the Swoosh’s summer pack, which also includes the Kyrie 2, KD 9 and Kobe 11.
Set to release at more retailers, the basketball sneaker?s upper is comprised of heather grey, alongside tonal eye stays and laces to solidify its construction. Pristine white adorns the forefoot with a large Swoosh branding and midsole unit, as it’s further pronounced with bright crimson pull tabs and a green visible heel unit.
Topped off with a gum outsole, you can buy this pair at select Nike stockists nationwide starting August 31st for $150.
I like the upper construction, but I don?t like the addition of green and crimson accents. It should?ve been just grey/white and gum for its entire makeup instead for a much better look.
With designer, Dylan Raasch, reinterpreting the Nike Roshe Two with complete comfort and absolute minimalism, the newly-introduced silhouette is featured in an iguana/sail finish as part of its inaugural colorways this season.
Essentially light and flexible as its predecessor, this variation also combines three layers of cushioning with a soft, stretch upper for comfort and streamlined simplicity. The defining olive hue covers the sleek upper and laces, while contrasting black Swooshes provide a complementing touch.
All resting atop a clean white full-length sole unit, you can purchase this latest pair at Nike retailers starting September 1st for a price tag of $90.
I really like the refined and minimal upper. This colorway is also a crowd pleaser. I’m looking forward to the release of this pair, as well as more appealing colorways.
The lighter edition of the Nike Air Force 1 for the ladies goes triple black with this latest version of the Upstep. Also an ‘SE’ release, the upper sheds the usual leather construction in favor of a foam/mesh build sporting a pebbled motif stamped right in. The sleek and scaly look in a lightweight and brethable mesh upper paired with the cored-out sole design makes for a great edition of the Air Force 1 to add to you sneaker late summer sneaker rotation. Pairs are available now directly from Nike Store.
A Trio Of Nike Presto GPX Releases Are Available Now
By SoleInsider
Is there a more modern and timely Nike retro than the Nike Air Presto? The shoe once dubbed a ‘t-shirt for your feet’ was way ahead of its time and now is making good on a comeback in an industry filled with sock-like slip-on uppers to compliment your tight roll or joggers. Nike Sportswear has released a plethora of iconic colorways from the early 2000s – something that the Nike Presto did well before nicknames and thematic elements were a common occurrence. This latest Nike Presto Graphic release sees a trio of vibrantly colored ambiguous graphics splash their way onto shelves and into your heart.
The Nike Presto GPX benefits from a stretchy neoprene mesh upper for added ventilation and comfort. The digitized static aesthetic even rivals the recently released adidas NMD “Glitch Pack” rather well. A molded cage does its best to stay out of the way here – solid tonal colors on all three pairs keep your focus on the patterns found throughout. Which look is your favorite? Be sure to check out more of these crazy-printed Nike Presto Graphic releases after the break and know that Sneaker Politics have this trio in-stock for $130 each.
Will You Be Picking Up The Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
Are you ready for the next colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro to hit retailers? We hope you are because in less than 24 hours the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt will be hitting stores nationwide.
Covered in a vibrant Hyper Cobalt blue all throughout the upper as well as on the outsole, this Foamposite Pro strongly resembles Ben Gordon’s PE pair from back in the day. Black has been placed on the tongue, laces, inner liner, the leather eyestay and ankle, and the jewel Swoosh logo on the side panels to provide the perfect contrast.
You’ll be able to purchase the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt at select Nike retailers beginning on August 25th (tomorrow) for a retail price of $230. Be sure to click and bookmark our official Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt launch page now for more images, the latest info and release details.
If the outsole was black instead of blue I think more people would have liked the shoe. I?m not a fan of Foamposites though so these are a pass for me regardless.
Every fall, Nike Sportswear manages to captivate with smart colorways of everyone’s lifestyle favorite Nike Footscape Woven Chukka. The head-turning asymmetrical woven silhouette has always been a fan-favorite for its luxurious incorporation of both suede and leather and a near-experimental approach to season-defining colorways. It was only a few weeks ago that the latest Footscape Woven “Rainbow” colorways flew off of store shelves and it isn’t hard to see why that happened.
Now the Nike Air Footscape Woven returns in a new “Linen” colorway. The monochromatic tan sees NikeLab at its best, when simplicity and a dedication to the basics takes the lead while utilizing the premium materials at hand. The natural motion-inspired midsole gets a Sail twist for a matching off-white for a clean finish. What do you think of the latest Nike Footscape Woven? Check out more photos below and know that international spots like South Africa’s Shelflife have the pair in-stock today.
