The Nike Darwin is one of the latest Nike lifestyle creations. This new model grabs inspiration and is derived from both the Nike Roshe Run and the Nike Air Presto, so if you like the look of both of those models, you’re probably going to like the Darwin as well.

The Nike Darwin comes in a mesh upper done in a Black colorway. Breaking up the tonal look of the shoe are the hits of White placed on the midsole and Nike branding. The breathable mesh upper is joined by Flywire to give it some additional support. There will also be a TPU heel support to give the shoe some added structure. Available internationally, we will let you know when these arrive stateside.

Great combination of the Roshe and Presto. Really like the look, I just prefer it in a different (brighter) color, so the features of the shoe can be more noticeable.

This weekend Ken Griffey Jr. officially becomes a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Being inducted this Sunday, July 24th, “The Kid” that would become one of the most popular and beloved athletes the game of baseball has ever seen was a lock for a first-ballot entry, and actually broke the previous record held by Tom Seaver for the highest percentage of votes at 99.32 percent. When it comes to baseball, obviously few names are as heralded as Griffey’s. And when it comes to sneakers, his name is up there with the greatest and most iconic athletes closely associated with Nike throughout the years, ranking next to legends like Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, and Andre Agassi in the brand’s history.

Just like Jordan, Bo, and Andre, Griffey also had his own signature line that is still celebrated today. Easily the most popular and most-retroed turf trainers ever, Junior’s signature Griffey Max baseball cross-training line began in 1996 with the Air Griffey Max 1. As we continue our Flashback to ’96 series, there could be no better sneaker to take a look at in the days before The Kid enters the Hall twenty years later. Read on as we recall the landmark training shoe, its on-field cleat counterpart, and of course, the Griffey in ’96 campaign.

Nike decided to take the time today to officially unveil the all-new Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit.

Just like a handful of other Nike Sportswear silhouettes have gotten the Ultra Flyknit treatment this year (Air Presto, Air Force 1, Tennis Classic), we can now add the iconic Air Max 1 to the list. The Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit features open Flyknit construction in the toe and tongue for ventilation while closed construction in the heel adds support. Down below we have lightweight, flexible ultra tooling for increased comfort.

You can look for the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit to release on both men’s and women’s colorways beginning on July 28th for a retail price of $160.

It was about time gave the Air Max 1 the Flyknit treatment. I can’t wait to see these in person and try them on.

Nike Sportswear has updated the iconic Pegasus line more times than we can count, but the creations always manage to deftly pay homage to one of the most legendary running lines in the Swoosh arsenal with the addition of modern amenities. Today we get a look at a luxurious women’s exclusive Nike Zoom Pegasus ’92 that utilizes an elegant marble graphic throughout the upper in Night Maroon. Touches of Noble Red add to the tonal affair while fuse and tape technology hits the Swoosh throughout for a sturdy, lightweight build. Check out more detailed photos after the break and let us know if you’re feeling the unique marbled upper by voicing your opinions below. You can grab this updated Nike retro from international retailers like Titolo today.

King James entered the realm of other legendary Cleveland comic book heroes when he startled Doris Burke with a loud, “Cleveland, this is for you!” during his emotional post-game interview after finally ending the city’s half-century title drought. The land gave us Superman and American Splendor‘s lovable everyman Harvey Pekar so it makes sense that Nike Basketball utilize comic strips as inspiration on this Nike LeBron 13. The upper gets a high contrast black and white colorway while the Posite overlay sees pixelated shading and matching gradient speckles on the midsole to emulate the shading used in black and white comic books. What do you think of the latest LeBron 13? Check out more photos below and stay tuned for a release in the near future.

While we keep wondering if Nike will ever drop an updated sequel, great new looks for the  Flyknit Racer continue to hit the shelves indefinitely. The latest edition features a throwback feel to the first colorway of the shoe ever released, with a mix of Volt and Black across the upper. Unlike the original, however, the split medial and lateral color blocking is gone in favor of the more recently used all-over heathered Flyknit weave of the two contrasting colors (although the medial sides do seem to be a little heavier on the black thread if you look closely). No matter how you mix it up, black and Volt are always going to be a winning combination, and a perfect look on the Flyknit Racer. Even though there’s still no Flyknit Racer 2, colorways like this on the original will definitely tide us over.

The post Volt Nike Flyknit Racers Are Returning In August appeared first on Sneaker News.

Following its official imagery, another look at this revamped Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit in black/white is featured, as the model will be finally arriving at retailers very soon.

As the title implies, the runner?s traditional leather/suede construction has been replaced with a knitted profile instead to enable more ventilation and a lighter feel overall. Black, grey and white threads are intertwined across the component, while tonal hits of black are prominent along the mudguard and Swooshes on the side panels in a synthetic overlay. More is seen on the upper eyelets, heel and branding on the tongue as well.

Finished off with a clean white sole unit in white as well, fans can find this women’s variation at select Nike retailers worldwide starting July 28th for $160.

I?ve been waiting for the flyknit to be applied on this lineage and it looks really solid. I like the classic colorway as well. I?m just biased.

A theme that has been prevalent in past silhouettes since 2004, the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 consists as the next variation to continue the Dunkman colorway.

Sporting a pristine white finish across the flexible and stretch-lined upper with its distinctive straps on the forefoot and mid-foot, the basketball sneaker is further defined by an extended ankle support with an additional strap that is rendered in grey to complement the palette, while hits of volt green adorn the entire outsole, outlining of the Swoosh logo on its heel and notable branding across the mid-foot strap to further pronounce its profile.

Priced at $140, select Nike accounts overseas already have the pair listed for availability, but, you can expect to find this pair at more retailers nationwide sometime during August.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Author’s Take

I still like the 9 more, even though James wore this silhouette to win the championship. I?m just not a fan of the higher build and this is too bulky for my taste. This is a really nice colorway though.

Evolving numerous times since its landmark debut in 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 is now officially introduced in its latest construction featuring a Flyknit upper. The legendary silhouette’s latest milestone is the the Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit, the shoe’s lightest iteration yet. Spearheaded by the Flyknit-constructed Air Max 1’s lead designer Ben Yu, the shoe features a fully woven upper with a looser knit pattern at the to and tongue for ventilation while a closed construction in the heel provides added support. Meanwhile, a fused mudguard replicates the look of the original Air Max 1, while the cored-out foam tooling reduces weight even further and adds comfort. The Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit in men’s and women’s specific sizing and colorways is available now via the Nike SNKRS app and July 28th at select retailers globally.

Nike has decided to flip the script on us a bit and change the release date for the upcoming Nike Air Foamposite One Olympic.

Previously scheduled to drop this Friday, July 22nd, this patriotic Foamposite now has a new release date of July 26th. This Olympic colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite One features a white almost pearl foam shell upper with Obsidian, University Red and Metallic Gold accents seen throughout the rest of the shoe. The gold detailing on the branding and the special stars and stripes insoles complete the Olympic/patriotic theme.

Will you be picking up a pair come July 26th? Retail price will be $250. Make sure to click and bookmark our Nike Air Foamposite One Olympic launch page for the latest images, release information and updates.

Author’s Take

I’m not a fan of Foams, but a colorway comes around every so often that catches my attention. This Olympic pair is pretty nice, but I wouldn’t be willing to pay anywhere near $250 for it.

Kobe Bryant is enjoying the retirement life by getting ready to go to work on his Nike World Tour to Europe. Yeah, Kobe doesn’t rest. Although he will no longer be seen in an NBA hardwood, we’re pretty sure his shoes will be representing the Black Mamba quite well. What you see above are a handful of Nike Kobe 11s. If you happen to like what you see, don’t get your hopes up too high since they’re all said to be PE colorways.

The images above show the shoe come in traditional Laker team colors consisting of Purple, Gold and White. Even the Black and Metallic Gold Mamba Day pair is seen alongside the PEs. Which pair is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below.

We’ve all heard of the Nike Dunk High CMFT, but Nike has now given the popular silhouette another twist with this new CRFT version.

This new version of the popular Nike Dunk High features a one piece seamless premium leather upper. The pair that you see above comes in a tan/olive tonal upper with a white midsole and gum outsole. Making this shoe even more modern is the addition of a Ultra sole that makes it lighter and more comfortable.

What are your thoughts on the new Nike Dunk High CRFT? Do you plan on picking up a pair when they arrive at retailers in the near future. Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I’m not sure how I feel about the one piece leather upper. Maybe it’s just the colorway but I’m not really feeling this new pair of Dunks.

Presto season is in full effect. Whether you’re a fan of the OG build or you’re rockin’ with the Flyknit version, you really can’t go wrong with wearing either of the two during the Summer season. If you’re looking for a new colorway to pick up, take a look at the Nike Air Presto Tuxedo.

Just like you’d imagine (based off the nickname of the colorway), this Presto comes in a Black and White motif. While I wouldn’t advise you to wear them with an actual tuxedo, there’s no denying that this is a pretty sweet colorway for the season. The Black mesh upper is offset nicely by the translucent White placed on the cage and toe. Additional White is used for the midsole and toe branding, while a Black outsole rounds out the tuxedo look. Available overseas, expect these to drop stateside in the near future.

Author’s Take

I just picked up my second pair of Prestos (Rio Teal). I prefer bold and bright colors on the model since I view it as a Summer sneaker. Nonetheless, you can’t go wrong with this colorway.

It seems like the crazy hype that was once there for the Nike Air Max Zero has died down little by little. Ever since the silhouette landed on NIKEiD the “need” for people to own a pair just isn’t as big as it used to be.

Don’t get us wrong though, “the one before the 1″ is still a very popular silhouette. For those of you that are fans of the silhouette today we take a look at a new White and Wolf Grey colorway. This women’s colorway has been dressed in a predominantly white upper with Wolf Grey and Black accents that provide a slight contrast. No exact release date is available yet but take a look at the official images above and let us know your thoughts.

Way too plain. I would like to add a pair of Nike Air Max Zeros to my collection but not something as boring as this pair.

We’re expected to see the Air Jordan 1 Bred officially unveiled later today, but in the meantime let’s take a look at another classic Nike sneaker that utilizes a similar colorway.

The Nike Air Presto has received the Bred color scheme as we can see with this new pair above. Black mesh dominates the entire mesh upper while University Red is present on the TPU cage, toecap, and the outsole. A White midsole and hits of Tour Yellow add some contrast to this pair of Prestos that can be bought at select Nike retailers now for $120.

via: Nike

Author’s Take

The shoe would have looked better without the yellow accents. I just don’t feel like yellow looks right with black and red.
