The Olympic releases continue tomorrow as we’ll be seeing the Nike Air More Uptempo make its way to retailers.

Worn by Scottie Pippen during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, this patriotic colorway of the Air More Uptempo features a Midnight Navy nubuck and mesh upper with White overlays. The extra large “AIR” branding is present on the side panels along with Scottie’s Olympic number 8 done in gold on the heels. Additional Nike branding can be seen on the toe, midsole, tongue, heel, and outsole to wrap up the look on this classic sneaker.

Nike Basketball’s Olympic celebration continues with the upcoming release of this Nike Air Foamposite One “Olympic” on July 26th. Released in 1997, the Foamposite just missed out Dream Team Part 2 and the man that would champion its uniquely futuristic upper, Penny Hardaway, during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. To make up for lost time, this classic combination of Obsidian, University Red, and Metallic Gold gives us the patriotic Foamposite take we always deserved. The insoles feature stars and stripes to add the Team USA motif while Penny’s 1 Cent logo gets a premium Metallic Gold treatment. Check out more of the latest Olympic-themed Foamposite release and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

When it comes to Nike running shoes, there aren’t many more color combinations that have become as classic throughout the years as black and Volt. The high contrast mix of the darkest shade possible with one of the brightest and most vibrant shades in Nike’s color arsenal just always seems to work, no matter what the silhouette. Here to illustrate this fact is this upcoming edition of the Flyknit constructed Presto, featuring its woven textile upper in Volt interlaced with black, while more black is found in use on the translucent TPU support cage, laces, and outsole. Those that can’t resist these latest black and Volt sneakers can grab your pair of the Air Presto Flyknit Ultra at select Nike Sportswear retailers soon.

Kevin Durant‘s initial run with the Nike KD 9 was back during the Western Conference Finals when the Oklahoma City Thunder were up 3-1 on the Golden State Warriors. How times have changed.

With the Olympic colorway being its most notable iteration so far this season, the Nike Air Max BW is previewed in another variation, which is suggested to be part of the brand’s Fall 2016 lineup.

Additionally, subtle accents of brown adorn the heel via branding.

I’m a fan of the silhouette overall and this colorway is simple, but, still appealing. I’m biased, but it’s a really nice offering.

I?m always a fan of this silhouette. I like how the colors were coordinated and it created a really appealing pair. The build looks solid too.

A new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 has just surfaced that has some similarities to the Parade colorways of the Kyrie 2 and LeBron 13 Low.

This Kobe 11 comes equipped with an engineered mesh upper that’s done in a variety of colors. The inner liner also has the same print/graphic while the Swoosh, midsole and fuse mudguard have been done in black. It’s still unclear what the theme/inspiration is behind this colorway of the Kobe 11 but there’s a possibility that it could be some type of Olympic/Brazil backstory to it. No release date has been announced yet but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more.

Author’s Take

The quality on this Air Jordan 5 doesn?t even look all that great so I don?t think that $220 price tag is justifiable. I?ve always wanted this colorway of the Air Jordan 5, but I?ll have to pass on these.

Ken Griffey Jr. will officially be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame this upcoming weekend and Nike will be celebrating by releasing a special colorway of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1.

Known as the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 InductKid, not only does this all-white pair of Griffeys celebrate The Kid’s Hall of Fame induction, but it’s also another release that commemorates the 20th anniversary of the silhouette. This Griffey Max 1 features a an all-white leather upper with perforations that can be seen throughout. The only hits of color come on the Swoosh branding on the tongue and heel which have been done in bronze to reference the statue/hardware he’ll receive at the hall of fame.

You can look for the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 InductKid at select Nike retailers on July 23, 2016 for $150.

Author’s Take

Being that this is a reference to Ken Griffey Jr.’s hall of fame induction, I think Nike could have done a much better and creative job with these. There’s nothing really memorable about an all-white sneaker.

Nike released a handful of new USA/Olympic themed sneakers today highlighted by their Nike Basketball offerings. Perhaps the most impressive release of today was the Nike Kobe 11 in USA colors.

Even though Kobe Bryant will not be playing in this year’s Olympic games, Nike still decided to give the Black Mamba a proper send off by giving him his own USA colorway of the Kobe 11. The shoe features a White Flyknit upper that takes over the majority of the shoe with Deep Royal Blue and University Red Flyknit landing on the ankle/heel. The medial Swooshes have been done in blue while the lateral ones are red. Lastly the heel features the years “08” and “12”, the two Olympic teams that Kobe was a part of.
