This is a must-cop. Not really sure why Nike didn’t make a big deal about this drop, but it’s definitely one of the best colorways to ever appear on the Nike Air Max 1.

Nike has been putting the Kobe 11 on heavy rotation as of late. It seems like every single week a brand new Kobe (or two) releases. It’s getting kind of hard to keep up with all these drops, huh? Looking to keep the momentum going, another Nike Kobe 11 has surfaced and today we have a first look to share with you. Introducing the Nike Kobe 11 Bright Mango.

The Nike Kobe 11 Bright Mango comes with an EM (engineered mesh) upper done in the aforementioned Mango colorway. The Crimson-like look of the shoe makes this one of the boldest colorways we’ve seen on the Kobe 11 thus far. Breaking up the tonal look of the shoe is the Black placed on the Nike Swoosh, lining, Flywire and branding. An icy translucent sole and a lighter shade of Crimson placed on the laces complete the look of the shoe. Thoughts? Stay tuned to find out when these get a release date.

Don’t really mess around with the EM version of the Kobe 11, but I have to admit that these would have been a great release for the Summer.

You’ve seen versions of the Nike Air Max 1 inspired by iconic colorways of the Air Jordan 1 before, like the coveted “Bred” release of 2015.

Whether it was intentional or not, the updated synthetic upper is given the recognizable color combination for a look that will certainly draw comparisons to the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1.

This model in all-black isn’t as appealing as I thought it would be. It’s still a solid and versatile pair, but, I’m not too interested.

Kobe sneaker fans are rejoicing, because the “Mambacurial” is back. One of the most popular and sought after Kobe color schemes ever, the original bright pink and lime colorway inspired by Nike Mercurial soccer boots that was featured on the Kobe 8 now gets a whole new life on Kobe 11. Whether you have a pair of the 8’s or missed out, we’re guessing both parties will be after the latest Mambacurial Kobe sneaker, so here’s another in-depth look at the vibrant colorway. Basically a direct re-interpretation of the original colorway onto the Kobe 11, one major difference is no toe Swoosh. But we doubt that’s going to discourage anybody from grabbing a pair.

The Kobe 11 “Mambacurial” drops September 15th at select Nike retailers like Sneaker Politics.

There’s no doubt in my mind that the Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit XI you see above is the boldest and loudest colorway we’ve seen thus far. Granted, the base is Black, but the Volt and Royal accents really give the shoe a nice pop.

The Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit XI is a soccer inspired sneaker equipped with Zoom Air tooling found in the classic Spiridon and a Flyknit upper to help give it more of a lifestyle appeal. Most of the shoe comes in Black, while the Royal and Volt stripes provide just the perfect amount of contrast on the shoe. Available internationally for $200, we will let you know if/when these arrive stateside.

I’m a fan of the model. This would have been even better had the Swoosh come in an accenting color. Overall, it looks really clean.

Now that Kobe is retired from the NBA, when will Nike begin re-releasing old models from the Kobe Bryant signature line? Well, it looks like it’s going to happen sooner rather than later beginning with none other than the Nike Zoom Kobe 1.

Above you will see one of the first retro colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 set to get the retro treatment. The shoe comes in a Black and White color scheme just like it once did many (many) years ago. Does this mean that even more colorway are on the way? Does this mean other Kobes will soon be getting the retro treatment? Stay tuned to find out the latest info regarding Kobe retros (damn, that sounds weird saying).

Just like its woven brethren the Flyknit Racer, the Flyknit Air Max seems like it’s been around forever with no signs of a sequel or any update in sight. But just like the Flyknit Racer, the full-length Air Max runner isn’t drawing any complaints about being stale as long as impressive new colorways keep dropping. Colorways like the three latest looks you see here today, featuring new “Multicolor” options for both men and women as well as a Team Red and Bright Citrus blend for men’s sizing. Fans of the Flyknit Air Max should be on the lookout for these new drops at select Nike Running retailers soon.

Author’s Take

The gold upper gives a real nice pop to to the shoe, but I think the blue hits should have been left out. This colorway will definitely turn heads though.

I’m pretty biased towards this silhouette and I like it even better when it’s comprised of flyknit. The colorway is perfect for Fall/Autumn and this should get the attention it deserves.
