This is one of the craziest prints/designs that I’ve ever seen on any shoe. I like the realistic snake look of the shoe but I don’t think I would wear this shoe myself.

VERY dope colorway of the Kobe 11. Love the combination of black and olive on the upper and the gum outsole is the perfect finish. Can’t wait to see more pictures of these.

If you missed out on the Olympic colorway of the Nike Zoom Flight 96, or simply decided to pass up on the pair, perhaps the Black and White colorway of the shoe is more of your style. Available now, let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

Available now and priced at $130, who’s looking to pick up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m not too high on this model. I know many people were diggin’ the Olympic colorway, but to keep it real, I don’t see myself ever owning a pair.

Denmark’s own SOULLAND menswear boutique is teaming up with Nike SB to celebrate the lively atmosphere surrounding Copenhagen Friday Nights with a brand new capsule. Known as the Nike Eric Koston Friday Collection, SOULLAND enlists Eric Koston’s most iconic model and his latest signature to transform the duo into lifestyle ready wears while retaining the performance qualities that make them such regular skate standouts.

The Nike SB Eric Koston 1 is back with a lifestyle aesthetic, as a premium Obsidian tumbled leather upper is accented by small Swoosh branding on the side panels. An ivory leather interior adds a luxurious touch for good measure, transforming the iconic skate classic into a shoe perfect for late nights spent skating or out on the town.

The latest Nike SB Koston 3 Hyperfeel brings the high arching Flyknit sock-like ankle support found in Nike Basketball models to the skate scene. The entire silhouette shocked upon first glance and here, thanks to a marbled Ivory and Wolf Grey upper, the subtle colorway remains visually striking and subdued all at once. The bold Fri.Day text callout on the ankle adds a unique twist.

The entire Nike Eric Koston Friday Collection between SOULLAND and Nike SB is slated to arrive at international retailers on August 12th. Check out more photos below and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

We’re confident that Kobe Bryant is a different animal and the same beast during the early days of his retirement. And if Nike Basketball has showed us anything after the Mamba’s last game, it’s that his signature models will continue to thrive well after his jersey hangs in the Staples Center’s rafters. Take this Kobe 11 Elite “4KB” as the perfect example of a high-performance model complete with a lifestyle ready aesthetic.

The Nike Kobe 11 Elite returns in another premium colorway, as the Flyknit upper manages to blend a black to olive gradient with just the right amount of red accents for a decidedly militaristic vibe. Nike is still altering the heel panels too, as a leather construction adds jagged cuts, additional perforations, and an all-seeing eye logo. Gum outsoles add the perfect casual finish to this tonal Kobe 11 Elite pair.

What do you think of the look? There’s still no word on a release date just yet, but stick with us right here on Sneaker News for more updates in the near future. More photos below.

It’s always fun to see what trends didn’t quite stick from a few years back. While synthetic snakeskin graphics and patterns were one of the major trends a couple of years ago before the current wave of simplified woven uppers, the Nike Air Python was doing it decades earlier.

Created in 1987, the Nike Python lifestyle classic utilized an aesthetic somewhere in between the Air Jordan 2 and the Nike Dunk, adding snakeskin to the fold for a luxurious head-turning look. Nike Sportswear emboldened the model with a number of modern updates ranging from an Iridescent colorway to a timely monochromatic all red. Today we get a look at a new “Copper Snake” option that adds a realistic anaconda inspired graphic to the fold.

The fierce look features aggressive alternating speckles of black and metallic copper imitating an anaconda’s skin to near perfection. What do you think of the Nike Python’s return? Check out more detailed photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date right here on Sneaker News.

I?m a fan of the sneaker in general and this colorway is pretty appealing. It?s a nice tribute to the summer games as well, but an Olympic colorway would?ve been nicer in my opinion.
