Official Images Of The Nike Kyrie 2 Australia
By SoleInsider
Here’s a first look of the upcoming Nike Kyrie 2 Australia via these official images. Said to be releasing next Saturday, continue reading to find out how Kyrie is connected to Australia.
Any guesses? Kyrie was actually born on Melbourne, Australia. Yeah, a lot of people are not aware of that. With that being the case, Nike has taken the time to pay homage to Kyrie’s birth country. Up next is this Yellow pair of Kyrie 2s. The shoe is constructed out of a Tour Yellow mesh upper accented by the Black noted on the strap and midsole. Additional Black is also seen on the tongue, lining and some logo hits. Nike branding is placed on the strap as well as on the chunky midsole. A set of Yellow laces and a White outsole rounds out the Aussie-inspired Kyrie 2. Dropping on September 10 for $120, are you going after a pair? Let us know in the comments below.
I’m pretty biased for the simple fact that I love Yellow sneakers. The Black contrast gives it a classic color scheme. One of my favorite colorways of the Kyrie 2 thus far.
Aside from the recent olive flak finish, the Nike Internationalist is now rendered in peat moss for its latest variation to kick-off the Fall 2016 season.
Noted as a women’s exclusive, the retro runner is essentially covered in a color palette in the defining hue, alongside accents of olive flak across its leather Swooshes and heel tab. In addition, pops of pink located on the tongue tab, heel counter and respective branding on the rear complement the overall palette, as it all rests atop clean white midsole unit and black outsole.
You can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.
Flaunting summer white across the majority of its leather makeup, the defining hue is prominent on the Swooshes, inner lining, heel tab, outsole and distinctive branding on the tongue. In addition, notable ?OG? detailing is evidenced with the ?NIKE AIR? text evident on the heel tabs for a vintage look.
Retailing for a price tag of $120, you can purchase this classic pair at select Nike retailers worldwide now.
This FC Barcelona-Inspired Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial Drops Next Week
By SoleInsider
Not a stranger to showcasing his admiration for the sport of soccer, this forthcoming Nike Kobe 11 Elite Mambacurial is essentially colored in the signature colors of the iconic European club — FC Barcelona.
With the defining hues prominent across its flyknit-constructed upper, a gradient of blue and red is intertwined throughout the heel and medial section, while bright yellow Swooshes are applied on the side panels to further solidify its respective palette. All adhered atop a versatile gum outsole, the model is rounded out with a football-style emblem on the heel featuring five stars as a nod to Bryant?s five championships.
Priced at $200, you can purchase this standout pair at select Nike retailers worldwide starting Thursday, September 8th.
The makeup and the colorway is a winner for me. If you?re a fan of the soccer club and silhouette as well, this should be an automatic purchase for you.
While its woven iteration has been prominent as of late, the classic Nike Air Footscape, which released back in 1995, receives another variation this season once again.
Now updated with a nylon/mesh build with synthetics to promote a lighter and versatile build, the model is further defined by its asymmetrical lacing system, while hyper cobalt colors the majority of its upper, followed by dark grey on the toe, turquoise accents on the eyelets and a white midsole unit finishes off the palette and profile respectively.
You can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers starting October 2016.
I’m a fan of the sneaker’s aesthetic/construction. The color coordination is nicely placed as well. If you want something different, this is a solid pair.
Following an early preview this past July, the Nike Flyknit Racer Blackout is scheduled to make its official arrival in the next few days ahead.
As suggested, the lifestyle silhouette inherits an all-black upper, which is composed of woven textile that promotes superb ventilation, breathability and a lightweight feel. Further detailed with reflective accents to increase its visibility, the stealthy model is topped off with white accents gracing the tongue via branding and its midsole unit.
Priced at $150, you can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers worldwide starting Thursday, September 8th.

By SoleInsider
The new Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit continues to make its rounds as new colorways are beginning to surface as a part of Nike Fall 2016 collection.
Looking at the pair above, this colorway was designed exclusively for the ladies and features a combination of Black, Yellow, and White throughout the Flyknit upper with Blue Tint landing on the tongue. Black leather detailing can then be seen on the Swoosh and heel tab while a white sole unit caps things off.
You can find this women’s Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit now at select retailers, including nike.com, for $160.
The only thing I’m not really feeling about this colorway is the bright blue tongue. The colors used on the Flyknit upper look nice, but I just don’t think the tongue meshes well.

Nike Celebrates Serena Williams And Her Unlimited Greatness
By SoleInsider
Serena Williams is not only one of the best tennis players of all-time, but she’s one of the best athletes in sports history. With more accolades and accomplishments under her belt than most athletes, Nike decided to recently celebrate the living legend’s career.
Nike has created a new campaign for Serena titled “Unlimited Greatness.” The new spot chronicles Serena?s amazing career and what makes her one of the most revered athletes of all time. Here is the video.
The vidoe features key words that represent key moments in Serena’s life and career. Here is the breakdown of what each word signifies.
Compton – Serena Williams swung her first racket at the age of three in Compton, California, soon after her family moved from Michigan.
Sister, Outsider – Along with her sister, Williams proved that precocious talent always trumps preconceptions.
Pro – Williams turned pro in 1995, when she was 14.
#304 – Two years later, with a ranking of 304, she beat two top-ten opponents and became the lowest-ranked player in history to achieve this feat.
Winner – In 1999, she claimed her first slam and rose to number four.
Top 10 – The following two years, for the first time, she ranked in top 10.
Paris, London, New York – In 2002, Williams took Paris, London and New York ? plus the number one ranking.
Melbourne – A 2003 victory in Melbourne solidified her first ?Serena Slam.?
Injured – Injury briefly derailed William?s game but never her drive. She dropped to number 139 in 2006, struggled with confidence and critics labeled her obsolete.
Struggling – Williams responded by winning Melbourne in 2007, as an unseeded player, completing the year among the sport?s top ten.
#169 – After another bout of injury she declined to 169, but quickly battled back and resumed her ascent
done, comeback, focused – In 2013, she became the oldest player ever to earn the rank of number one.
#1 – Williams held the top spot through 2014 ? the second woman to retain it for a full year ? and took her sixth title in New York.
Legend – Today, she is revered as the greatest and her influence transcends the game of tennis.
In addition to the “Unlimited Greatness” video, a few Nike athletes, past and present, shared special messages with Serena rooting her on and describing what they love about her and how she transcends the game of tennis. Some of the athletes in the video include Roger Federer, Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas, Lisa Leslie, Rafa Nadal, Michael Johnson, and more. Watch the video below.
Nike Sportswear has done a great job of making their incredibly popular Mercurial soccer aesthetic available in lifestyle offerings over the past few years. Their latest creation, the Nike Zoom Mercurial IX Flyknit, mixes a premium Flyknit upper complete with a sock-like fit and high-arching ankle collar with the incredibly comfortable midsole-outsole unit of the recently brought back Nike Zoom Spiridon running retro. Once known as just the Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit Spiridon, we’ve been seeing plenty of premium monochromatic offerings hit retail shelves this summer, but at the luxury price point of $200 USD.
The Mercurial series began in 1998 with a soccer boot inspired by world-famous Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo. Nike kept the same thought process in mind when creating this lifestyle offering, as they wanted a lightweight lifestyle sneaker with a sleek design that was flexible enough for everyday use when paired with a responsive cushioning system. What resulted was the sleek design of the Nike Mercurial Flyknit IX in a vibrant University Red shade. What do you think of NSW’s latest soccer-inspired Mercurial offering?
