The Nike Air Safari is one of the OGs in the sneaker game as it made its debut way back in 1987. The shoe gets overlooked a lot but Nike hopes to change that with this new premium release.

Officially known as the NikeLab Air Safari Royal, this new version of the classic runner from the Swoosh features a premium leather and suede upper with safari detailing appearing on the ankle, heel and toe. Two colorways are offered at the moment with one coming in Black and the other in Russet (orange). Both have been completed with Vachetta Tan detailing on the inner liner and midsole as well as white sole units.

Both colorways are available now directly from nike.com for a premium price tag of $220.

Beautiful materials on the upper and the addition of Vachetta Tan is also very nice. That $220 price tag is crazy though. I’m pretty sure these will get marked down quick.

The Nike Air Force 1 High receives a new-yet-classic look this summer with a mixture of a new perforated leather upper with a classic two-toned color block. The high-quality leather upper featuring mini perforations comes in vibrant Gym Red with all accents in white for a look that’s actually very reminiscent of the coveted Supreme collab. This eye-catching red Air Force 1 continues Nike Sportswear’s “Pivot” collection, as you can see by the special basketball and stars logo applied to each heel. You can cop a pair as they arrive now at select Nike Sportswear retailers, including Packer Shoes.

A couple of weeks ago we received our first look at new silhouette from Nike that seemed to be collaboration between their Basketball and Sportswear divisions.

Known as the Nike Air Zoom Cabos, this new sneaker is a modified version of Gary Payton’s Nike Zoom Flight The Glove. The shoe features a full mesh upper with bungee cords that extend from one side of shoe to the other. The bungee cords work as a lacing system to provide you with a lock down fit. Pull tabs have been added on the tongue and heel as well as the same sole unit as the Zoom Flight The Glove.

If you’re interested in picking up this Black/White/Reflect Silver colorway you can do so now directly from Nike for $135.

I like the mesh upper and the use of bungee cords instead of laces. I’m just curious to know how comfortable they are.

Most of the colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit that have released so far have been made available for the men. But what about the ladies? I know for a fact that they love lightweight and comfortable sneaker just as much as the guys do.

Well Nike knows that too but it just took them a little longer to deliver for the #ChicksOnFire. Available now at select retailers is this new colorway of the Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low that features a Black and Deep Royal Blue Flyknit upper with additional Black detailing on the laces, eyestay, inner liner, heel tab, and the leather Swoosh. A pop of pink has been added on the tongue along with a white Ultra sole unit. Any women plan on picking up this pair? Retail price has been set at $160.

The black and blue Flyknit upper make it wearable for the guys, but then that pink tongue just killed that thought. Haha. Pretty clean pair for the ladies though.

In addition to the USA Home and USA Away versions of the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Flyknit that release next week, we’ll also be seeing something a little more neutral arrive at retailers.

Unofficially dubbed as the Oreo colorway, this Hyperdunk 2016 features a full Flyknit upper done in a combination of white and black. Additional Black hits have been added on the branding on the midsoles as well as the laces. Finishing off the clean look on the pair of Hyperdunk 2016s is a white midsole and icy blue translucent outsole.

You’ll be able to purchase your pair at select Nike retailers on July 18th for $200.

Author’s Take

I was really feeling the USA Away colorway, but now this pair has become my favorite. I know I said I don’t really do white Flyknit sneakers, but there’s so much black on this shoe that the white becomes more of a grey. Real clean colorway. The only thing I don’t like is that $200 price tag.

Kevin Durant’s Asia tour with Nike continued on Day 4 with a special event in Hong Kong, where fans presented KD with their own unique artistic creations on the KD 9 silhouette. While attendees were able to paint up their own colorways on mini KD 9 replica sculptures, the highlight was certainly the full-sized abstract sculpture of the shoe created by Annabelle Ho, a student at Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University Institute of Textiles and Clothing. The bold look for the KD 9 featuring a multi-textured upper with everything from golden rope to studs incorporated into its design was inspired by KD’s birth year, which happened to be the Year of the Dragon. A second KD 9 art piece by Aiden Kwong uses balloons to represent dreams and hopes without boundaries. See a photo recap of the event here.

Nike’s CEO is taking a stand against racial injustice. Mark Parker is one of the most powerful people in America thanks to his standing as chairman, president, and CEO of Nike, and today he used his influence to pen a letter to his employees demanding change. With the recent killings of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and the mass shooting of five police officers in Dallas, Parker decided to voice his displeasure on the recent tragedies and confirm that Nike stands against discrimination in any form. He commended Nike athletes like LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul for their heartfelt speech to open the ESPYs that ‘eloquently argued for change and to stop the situation’. He ended the letter by showing support to the Black Lives Matter movement. You can read it in full below.

The Nike Sock Dart will continue its reign as one of the best lifestyle runners out right now with this new colorway that drops this weekend.

Looking at this colorway of the slip-on silhouette from the Swoosh we can see that it comes draped in an olive upper that Nike is calling Cargo Khaki. The shoe features a knitted mesh upper with an adjustable midfoot strap that provides a locked-down feel. The strap featured on this pair has been done in black along with the inner liner, heel, toecap, and the rubber outsole. A white midsole with black speckling caps off the look on this new pair of Sock Darts.

Select international retailers will be releasing this pair tomorrow with a stateside release still pending.

One of the cleanest colorways of the Nike Sock Dart that I’ve seen. I love the combination of olive and black, and that speckled midsole is the icing on the cake. Hopefully I’m able to grab a pair.

Earlier this week we received a look at the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Flyknit USA Away that will be arriving at select Nike retailers. But you know Nike had to give the boys a Home colorway too, right?

This new colorway that you see above is the USA Home version that we can expect some members of Team USA to wear at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The shoe features a White Flyknit upper with Dark Obsidian and Bright Crimson detailing on the Swoosh branding that appears on the midsoles. An icy blue outsole finishes off the look on this Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Flyknit USA Home that is scheduled to release on July 18th for a retail price of $200. Will you cop or drop?

Author’s Take

I’m not a big fan of the Flyknit collar, but if I had to pick I like the away colorway better because of the blue Flyknit upper. I just can’t do white Flyknit.

The Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski keeps the colorways coming. Although there are hybrid versions of the shoe, many people to prefer the original version. For that reason alone Nike SB continues to give the people new colorways to choose from.

The Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Ale Brown comes in a full leather upper done in a Brown colorway. Accompanying the Brown tonal look of the shoe are the hits of Black placed on the embroidered Nike Swoosh, laces and tongue tag. Creating some sharp contrast is the White vulcanized midsole placed below. Pretty simple, but that’s usually what looks best on this model. Said to be releasing in the near future, how many of you plan on adding these to your collection?
