Is Nike getting a little too ahead of themselves? The Swoosh will be releasing Gold Medal colorways of a few of their Nike Basketball silhouettes that are rumored to celebrate the gold medal that Team USA Basketball has not even won yet at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

This colorway of the Kyrie 2 features a University Red upper with Metallic Gold detailing on the Nike and Kyrie branding. A red midsole and icy blue translucent outsole complete the look on this celebratory pair of Kyrie 2s that is scheduled to release on August 22nd for $140.

I like the gold hits but there’s just too much red on this shoe.

LeBron James isn’t even part of the 2016 Team USA Basketball team but Nike still plans on releasing a special colorway of one of his sneakers that is inspired by the Olympic games.

Deciding to use the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 instead of the LeBron 13, this Gold Medal colorway features a White upper with Metallic Gold detailing on the Nike and LeBron branding, as well as on the three straps which are covered in gold speckling. A white midsole and icy blue translucent outsole cap things off. You can look for the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 Gold Medal at select Nike retailers beginning on August 22nd for $140.

Clean and simple colorway of the Zoom Soldier 10. I just don’t understand why they made LeBron a shoe when he isn’t even on the team.

Nike is wasting no time in unveiling/releasing new colorways on the Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Low. We’ve already seen several different versions of the Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Low comes in a Multicolor offering, this latest colorway also comes in a Mulitcolored upper but it was made exclusively for the ladies.

Right off the bat, this pair appears to be the best Multicolor colorway that the model has unveiled. This version comes with a White lunar sole and hits of Black placed on the laces, lining and heel strip. As far as the Flyknit upper goes, it comes in a mixture of colorways to create some multicolored goodness. Said to be releasing on August 25th for $160, how many of you ladies are looking to get a pair?

I really don’t care that it’s a women’s release. If I find these in my size, I’m picking up a pair.

Back in early July we reported the “first look” at what was thought to be the Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial. Now it turns out that a brand new colorway of the Kobe 11 could possibly the real Mambacurial version. While we still can’t confirm which pair is the true Mambacurial, let’s take a good look at this version.

This version of the Kobe 11 comes with a Flyknit upper with Black on the toe that eventually gradient off to a Bright Blue on the lateral side and Red on the medial side. Gum rubber outsole, a Yellow Nike Swoosh and a set of Black laces and lining round out the look of the shoe. No word on the when these will release, but keep it locked and we will get you that information as soon as it’s made available.

The other pair looks more like the Mambacurial colorway, but whatever this colorway ends up being named, it’s still pretty dope!

One of Nike Basketball’s latest creations shows up in a not-so-new color scheme for this all-red edition of the Hypershift. The sleek mid-top hoops shoe features the vibrant red-out look that we’ve seen so many times before on practically every sneaker on the market since the “Red October” Air Yeezy 2, but since they look this good, we’re not complaining. The high performance shoe that almost looks like a hybrid between the Kyrie 2 and Hyperdunk 2016 goes red from top to bottom with the blazing combination of University Red and Bright Crimson, while accents come in black. You can find pairs at select Nike Basketball retailers right now.

If you’re on the unit for a vibrant and eye-catching sneaker to close out the Summer with then you don’t have to look any further because here is just the thing for you. The Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit in the Volt colorway.

This new colorway of the slimmed down and modified runner from Nike gets hit with a Volt Flyknit upper that has Black underlays that provide a nice contrast. Additional Black accents have been added on the side panel/heel cage, toecap, ankle, outsole, and the branding on the midsole and toe. A White midsole finishes up the look on this pair of Flyknit Prestos that you can buy now at select Nike retailers, as well as nike.com for $160.

You’ll definitely turn a few heads in this pair of Prestos but they’re just too bright for me. I’ll pass and wait on a different colorway.

After getting a closer look at the LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 The Academy, we now set our sights on the same colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2.

Also designed exclusively for the Nike tournament, this colorway of the Kyrie 2 features a predominantly white upper with the same colorful graphic/print that we’ve seen before landing on the midfoot strap. Black detailing lands on the Nike and Kyrie branding while an icy blue outsole finishes off the look. This pair of Kyries will never make it to retailers but you might be able to pick it up for yourself if you look hard enough. In the meantime take a look at the latest images above and let us know what you think.

Sort of reminds me of the Parade colorway that recently dropped. It’s a nice colorway, but nothing too special.

Am I trippin’? Nah, this is actually what the Nike SB Dunk High Psychedelic looks like. Composed out of an array of different colorway, let’s take a closer look at the shoe that’s readily available.

This Psychedelic colorway of the SB Dunk High has the shoe come with an upper covered in graphics. The graphic heavy upper is done in a handful of different colors, and the end result is a rainbow like motif that makes you feel like you’re on some kind of drug you have no business with. Black panels and accents tone the look down just a bit, but at the end of the day it’s still a pretty bold version of the SB Dunk High. A White midsole, Black outsole, laces, tongue and lining round out the look of the shoe. Priced at $120, look for these at your local Nike SB retailers.

If so, you can now pick these up at select international retailers, with a stateside release being imminent.

Author’s Take

Something about this colorway that makes it look like it could be an OG version, right? It’s cool to see new looks on the model, but I’m just not a fan of the shoe to begin with.

Nike is giving the premium treatment to one of their most beloved Air Max models of all time. Dubbed a Pinnacle release of the shoe, let’s take a look at the official images of the Nike Air Max 1 Pinnacle White.

The first thing that caught my eye was the premium leathers used to construct the all-White upper of the Air Max 1. The branding on the heel and tongue come in embossed fashion. Additional branding can be seen on the translucent outsole and side panels. Other premium features include the leather tongue tag and cork insoles. A set of White laces and midsole round out the look of the shoe. Price at $160 and available now, who’s getting a pair?

Author’s Take

It’s cool, but I don’t think I would get this all-White pair, I’d rather go for the all-Black pair since it requires less maintenance.

A few weeks ago we saw special colorways of a handful of Nike Basketball sneakers as a part of the Nike Basketball The Academy tournament collection. While it’s pretty much impossible to get your hands on any of the shoes from the collection, where there’s a will there’s a way.

Here we take a closer look at the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 from the collection which comes mostly covered in a white mesh upper with a colorful print that can be seen on the toe and the LeBron branding on the middle strap. A black Swoosh logo and an icy blue outsole complete the look on the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 The Academy that can be probably be found at places like eBay or other third party sellers. Good luck finding a pair in your size if you’re on the hunt.

Nike Basketball is celebrating Team USA’s Olympic Gold Medal hopes with the upcoming Nike USA Gold Swoosh Pack, slated to arrive at retailers on August 22nd. Comprised of the Kyrie 2, the KD 9, and the LeBron Soldier 10, each silhouette gets a premium overhaul for this quickstrike release featuring Metallic Gold accents on the branding and eyelets in honor of Team USA’s quest for yet another Gold Medal at the international level.

Nike Basketball smartly gives each of these models either a red, white, or blue theme with the Nike KD 9’s premium Flyknit draped in an ominous Obsidian base. This particular color choice works beautifully when paired with a University Red lining, Metallic Gold branding, and an icy outsole to match Team USA’s road uniforms. The Nike Kyrie 2 is perhaps the boldest take of the trio thanks to a “Red October” like aesthetic that sees a premium mesh and fuse base drenched in University Red while Metallic Gold briefly interrupts the all-red-everything motif on the branding and eyelets. The Nike LeBron Soldier 10 stands out thanks to gold speckling throughout a clean white base while icy bottom adds the perfect finish to the understated offering. Interestingly enough, the KD 9 and LeBron Soldier 10 each feature bold ‘USA’ callouts while the Kyrie 2 is absent of any American abbreviation.

As of today, Team USA is 5-0 during the Rio Olympics competition, although the past couple of games have been incredibly close raising questions of whether the red, white, and blue will be able to win yet another Gold Medal. Do you think Team USA will be able to bring home the gold?

The Nike Dunk is an all-time classic model, but it’s legendary status hasn’t prevented it from experimentation. Moden amenities, new technologies, and bold colorways have all found their way atop the Nike Dunk High in recent years, but none have been as bold as this new “Psychedelic” release. This graphic heavy, reflective rainbow infused aesthetic looks more ready for a Grateful Dead concert than skating thanks to a trippy array of multi-color infused swirls, alternating black panels and just the right touch of gold throughout. Be sure to check out more photos of the latest trippy Nike Dunk release after the break and if you’re a fan of the look, know that shops like Premier have this pair in stock for $120 USD.

It looks like the soccer-inspired “Mambacurial” colorway concept is coming back once again to the Kobe Bryant’s Nike line. The Kobe 11 is receiving the soccer boot look, and we get our first early preview of the shoe today. The latest Kobe signature shoe features its Flyknit upper with black toes that fade into bright blue on the lateral side and red on the medial side with yellow Swooshes. They’re completed with gum rubber outsoles, which seem to indicate that this “Mambacurial” colorway is influenced by indoor soccer shoes instead of the cleat inspiration for Mambacurials of the past. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more info on the Kobe 11 “Mambacurial”.

The newly-introduced Nike KD 9 is scheduled to release in its ?Birds Of Paradise? colorway next, as it’s suggested to pay homage to Durant?s recent tour to China this past summer.

With the focal point directed at its flyknit upper dressed in a mixture of teal and green, the vibrant shades are perfectly complemented with tonal black on the rear, inner lining, laces and pull tabs. More teal is found in the zoom cushioning, while a white phlyon sole unit offsets the entire profile for an aesthetically pleasing combination.

I like the silhouette overall and this colorway is probably one of the best so far. I?m just biased towards the palette I guess, but, it?s a nice offering overall.
