For Nike, 2016 has been the year of the Retro runner. Talarias and Spiridons has kept some Nike Running fanatics happy, but the re-issue of the Air Max 96 might not conjure up feelings of nostalgia due to the re-designed midsole. Instead of bringing back the original Air Max unit, Nike opts for the multi-compartment unit used in the Air Max 95 Ultra, which unfortunately deems the 2016 edition of the Air Max 96 not a true Retro release. The Nike Air Max 96 Retro is available now on Nike SNKRS in both the OG “Concord” and “Scream Green” colorways for $175 and hits select retailers overseas tomorrow, August 20th.

While the GS sizing was previously featured, this forthcoming variation of the Nike KD 9 is actually part of the Swoosh’s Summer Pack to celebrate the end of the warm season.

Essentially a cleaner iteration of the recent Unlimited pair, the model sports a clean white flyknit construction, with vibrant tones of volt and bright crimson adorning the majority of the component for its distinctive look. In addition, accents of grey are implemented on the Swooshes and tongue tabs, as it?s all adhered atop a versatile gum outsole.

You can find this standout Nike KD 9 Summer Pack at select Nike retailers starting August 31st, for a retail price tag of $150.

One of the nicest and simplest colorways on the silhouette so far. The gum outsole makes the model a lot better looking too.

Last offered in orange and black colorways, the NikeLab Air Safari Royal is now introduced in dark grey for its latest iteration to cap off the summer season.

Simply a premium rendition of the iconic runner, that first released in 1987, the silhouette is defined by its exotic pattern that adorns along the collar, heel and toe cap. Dipped in the subdued hue for its primary makeup, the model receives complementing accents of vachetta tan leather across its midsole unit, in addition to a leather-welded heel wrap that serves as a stabilizer.

Emitting lifestyle appeal, the sneaker is topped off with a clean white sole unit. You can find this pair at select Nike accounts overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.

Following its official reveal, new detailed images of the NikeLab Air Force 1 Low in Maroon is featured once again.

The iconic low-top silhouette is essentially treated in the defining hue across its premium leather upper, while the monochromatic tone is perfectly juxtaposed against crisp white rubber sole unit for a bold, yet simplistic two-tone colorway. Additionally, an icy outsole rounds out the composition.

The Vachetta Tan colorway was the best offering so far, but this iteration is a close second. I’m just into the palette though.

Official imagery of the upcoming Nike Kobe 11 Summer Pack have now released, as it was previously spotted on the Black Manba himself during his tour in the Netherlands and Italy earlier this month.

Flaunting a clean color palette, the model’s distinctive finish is inspired by the Italian flag respectively. Pristine white dominates its engineered mesh upper, while pops of teal adorn the Swooshes and inner lining, alongside bright crimson accents gracing the sheath logo on its tongue tab and lower eyelets to pronounce its overall build.

Topped off with a versatile gum outsole that also complements the aesthetically pleasing color scheme, you can find this standout pair at select Nike retailers starting August 31st, for a price tag of $160.

Author’s Take

I’ve always liked the design of the sneaker. This colorway is another solid variation as well. You can’t go wrong with the silhouette.

I’m not really a fan of the hybrid version of the Roshe Run. The colorway is on point, but I just don’t see myself picking up a pair of these.

You won’t have to wait much loner to get your hands on a pair of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt as the shoe is scheduled to release exactly one week from today. Originally viewed as a Ben Gordon PE exclusive, the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt will not be releasing to the general public.

The shoe starts off with a Blue colorway taking care of the entire posite upper. The same hue extends down to the sole unit to give the shoe a nice streamlined motif. Contrasting the tonal look are the hits of Black placed on the leather eye stay, tongue, lining, laces and of course, the glossy Nike Swoosh placed on the side panels. A carbon fiber shank is also present to round out the main features on the shoe. Said to be releasing on August 25th for $230, are you looking to pick up a pair?

I don’t think I ever see myself picking up a pair of Foams, but if I had to choose a colorway, this would be one of them. Very clean looking shoe, just not my style since I’m not a fan of the bulkiness and posite upper.

Fans of the Nike Air Presto will have yet another option when it comes to the materials that are placed on the lightweight runner.

While Flyknit has been the most recent highlight of the Presto, today we see the silhouette in the newest woven version. As the name suggests, the Nike Air Presto utilizes a new woven material all throughout the upper with the exception of the neoprene tongue/bootie. This pair takes on the popular Triple Black color scheme and is expected to arrive at select Nike retailers in the near future. Check out the official images above and let us know if you plan on picking up a pair when the drop. Retail price will be $130.

I live the woven upper but just not in this colorway. I look forward to seeing more colorways in the future.

The Nike KD 9 goes tropical for its next colorway, the “Birds of Paradise” version that flies into retailers tomorrow. The tropical theme releasing during the Olympics in Brazil is certainly no coincidence, as we’re guessing Nike planned ahead for the fact that Kevin Durant would be helping lead Team USA while also showcasing his latest signature model on the court in Rio. The nature-minded theme of this KD 9 utilizes a bright jade green and black color palette to achieve the tropical feel, completed with hits of Volt throughout amplifying the vibrant look even further. Whether you’re yet to pick up a pair of the KD 9 or just want another colorway to add to your existing collection, you can pick up the “Birds of Paradise” look tomorrow at select Nike Basketball retailers globally.

LeBron James isn’t in Rio with Team USA right now but he must be there in spirit or something because Nike has decided that they’ll be releasing his latest sneaker in a Gold Medal theme/colorway.

The Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 gets the Gold Medal treatment as the shoe’s upper has been done in a pristine White with Metallic Gold detailing landing on the LeBron and Nike branding as well as on the speckling on all three straps. USA has also been added on the heel in gold while an icy blue translucent outsole wrap things up. Look for the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 Gold Medal at select Nike retailers on August 22nd for a retail price of $140.

Why is LeBron getting a Gold Medal sneaker again??? Shoe looks decent but I feel like it’s too much white.

Kyrie Irving and Team USA are only two wins away from capturing the highly coveted gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. With the semifinal game against Spain taking place tomorrow, USA hope to come out on top and play in the gold medal game on Sunday.

Kyrie Irving and Nike hope that Team USA proves to the world that they have assembled the best team in the world by winning the gold medal. The day after the gold medal game Nike will be releasing Gold Medal colorway of the Kyrie 2, KD 9, and LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 in what they hope will be celebratory colorways. Here are official pictures of the Nike Kyrie 2 Gold Medal which is completely covered in University Red on the entire upper with the only contrast being hits of Metallic Gold that can be seen on the upper eyelets, and the Nike and Kyrie Irving branding on the midsole, strap, tongue, and heel.

The Nike Kyrie 2 Gold Medal will arrive at retailers on August 22nd for a retail price of $140.

This shoe could have looked much better if there was some contrast added perhaps some blue or white. It pretty much looks like an all-red shoe. Not a fan.

After previewing the sneaker yesterday, we now take a look at official images of the upcoming Nike KD 9 Gold Medal that give us a much better look at the shoe.

This patriotic colorway of the KD 9 comes with Dark Obsidian all over the Flyknit upper with a vibrant red landing on the inner liner, upper eyelets, and the KD branding on the heel. Finishing things off is Metallic Gold which can be seen on the Swoosh logo as well as the “USA” writing on the heel tab.

Set to drop on August 22nd for $150 at select Nike retailers, is this a cop or a drop for you?

Author’s Take

Out of all the colorways of the KD 9 that we’ve seen I would have to say that this is my favorite pair so far. Love the blue Flyknit upper combines with the gold accents.
