What a Summer 2016 Kyrie Irving is having. Kyrie became just the fourth player in basketball history to win the NBA championship the same year he won a Gold Medal in the Olympics. The other three are Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and teammate LeBron James. With all of that history in mind, Nike Basketball is taking advantage by releasing a number of new Kyrie 2 colorways like August 31st’s Kyrie 2 Summer Pack.

The Kyrie 2 has benefited from bold, vibrant colorways in the past, but this Kyrie 2 Summer Pack is a direct contrast to those very pairs. Instead, a Light Bone upper pairs with Reflect Silver to accentuate the classic gum bottom on this lifestyle-ready look. Flashy red hints contrast on the upper two lace eyelets and on Kyrie’s no.2 heel logo for added depth. What do you think of the upcoming Kyrie 2 Summer Pack? Stick around for a better look and grab your size on August 31st for $120 USD.

It’s been almost 5 years, but we’re finally getting the Nike Roshe Run sequel we deserve next month. The Nike Roshe Two has already been previewed in an upcoming Flyknit variety slated to hit select markets on August 25th, and today three new women’s exclusive colorways showcase just how malleable Dylan Raasch’s creation can be.

The Nike Roshe Run exploded onto the scene with an amazing price point (just $70 USD), and an aesthetic that was designed with Zen-like simplicity in mind dating back to 2012. So for the Nike Roshe Two, you can imagine that Nike Sportswear wanted to keep things just as simple, but the task at hand might’ve been more difficult than expected. The Swoosh continues to innovate with new technology but what surprised so many about the Roshe series was how it went in the completely opposite direction. No celebrity co-sign or star athlete was needed to sell a pair, and the legacy of Flyknit and Nike Free didn’t come to the model until much later down the road.

The Nike Roshe Two doesn’t fall too far from the tree either, as an upgraded midsole and outsole unit now utilizes a new ‘split’ feature for added color options. The upper, shown here in a new neoprene instead of the woven Flyknit, will be able to hold down all kinds of prints and patterns like this trio of water-inspired looks exclusive to women’s sizes. An added elastic fit around the ankle should add even more comfort this go-around. What do you think of the upcoming Nike Roshe Two? Be sure to check out more photos below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

The post Preview More Nike Roshe Two Releases For September 2016 appeared first on Sneaker News.

The Nike Mercurial series was first introduced to the world back in 1998 for one of the greatest soccer stars in modern history, Ronaldo. The Brazilian phenomenon helped shape the way the game is played today while Nike Sportswear has been busy showcasing just how malleable the Mercurial series can be for off-the-pitch use like here with the Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit Spiridon. The silhouette manages to flawlessly blend the world of performance football boots with the help of one of Nike Running’s cult classics in the Nike Zoom Spiridon, a silhouette that recently made its way back to store shelves with the help of NikeLab’s premium aesthetic choices.

Now the Nike Mercurial IX Flyknit benefits from a flexible Flyknit woven upper for an ultra lightweight yet dynamic fit. The updated Flyknit showcases a new ribbed construction that allows alternating shades of Black and Anthracite throughout for a head-turning look. The Spiridon’s patented Zoom cushioning system helps bring the performance model up to speed for lifestyle use with a sleek yet functional outsole unit perfect for the rigors of everyday use. A premium leather heel construction not only adds a lifestyle finish to the pair but brings extra ankle support to the fold. Be sure to check out more photos below and grab this Nike Mercurial IX Flyknit today from select shops like Sneaker Politics for $200 USD.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony Are The Golden Js We?ve Been Waiting For

The latest colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 Low is an interesting one. Not only does it come in a Gold colored upper, it also comes covered with scales to give it even more of a unique look.

We’re unsure of what the inspiration behind the shoe is, but being that the Olympics are a trending topic of discussion, I wouldn’t be surprised if this Nike AF1 Low had something to do with Gold medal inspirations. The Gold on the upper is accompanied by the hits of White placed on the lining, tongue tag and sole unit of the shoe. Tonal laces and tongue round out the look of the shoe. Available internationally, we will let you know once these arrive stateside.

Pretty clean. The scales on the upper really give it a new look and feel. Comfort aside, this is a pretty dope pair!

Introducing the Nike Lunaracer 4, Nike Running’s latest and greatest performance running shoe with a full-length Lunarlon cushioned bottom.

The Lunaracer series has since taken a backseat to the likes of the Nike Lunarepic and Nike Flyknit Racer, but there was a time when the Lunaracer imprint was one of the most sought after Nike running lines thanks to its lightweight, breathable upper and cushioning system that could last for long distances. The Lunaracer 4 utilizes a new interior arch-band that enhances support while an updated dual-density Lunarlon foam gives the most responsive shock absorption to date. High-wear zones like the toe and heel even come equipped with added BRS 100 carbon rubber for increased durability.

Three debut colorways are available in both men’s and women’s size runs ranging from the above pictured “Clear Jade”, a vibrant “Bright Crimson”, and a patriotic “Concord”. Grab your favorite colorway today via Nikestore.

“South Beach” colorways hit critical mass a few years back to the point where Sketchers and Payless were proudly flaunting the pink and teal Miami Vice-inspired look made famous by the Nike LeBron 8. Nike Basketball had retired the look once and for all after LeBron announced his decision to rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2014. That might explain why we’re so surprised to see this Nike Kobe Venomenon 5 interrupt the hiatus and bring the South Beach flavor back for Summer ’16.

We thought that Kobe’s retirement would lead to more international travel, but there’s a good chance that the Black Mamba will hit up Miami now that his playing days are over. The Kobe Venomenon 5 is by no means the premium performer that Kobe’s signature line given the signature’s implementation of Flyknit uppers, natural motion and Zoom cushioning system throughout. That doesn’t mean that the Venomenon can’t hold you down for a summer of blacktop hooping though as the $120 price point makes it the perfect entry level Kobe offering. This Venomenon South Beach dons a simple black mesh and fuse upper while an aggressive Swoosh branding fades in a teal to pink gradient. That head-turning Kyrie 1-like heel construction gets a transparent icy treatment while the shank adds a matching gradient.

Overall, it’s a unique and timely take on the South Beach lineage that couldn’t be more appropriate for the hottest months of the year. What do you think of the latest Kobe release? Check out more photos below and stay tuned for a release date right here on Sneaker News.

Hand-Dyed with genuine indigo in Tokyo, Japan Flyknits. 2020 Olympics start now, basically. Thanks@nike pic.twitter.com/vApP0MWg5X

— Joe La Puma (@JLaPuma) August 19, 2016

Check out this Nike Flyknit Racer that commemorates the Summer Olympics. No, not this Summer’s Rio Olympics, but 2020’s Tokyo Olympics. Yea, Nike is staying ahead of the game with this one.

Complex’s Joe La Puma was recently gifted with this special pair of Racers that commemorates the location of the 2020 Olympics. La Puma mentioned that the pair was hand-dyed with genuine indigo in Tokyo, which is the host of the 2020 Olympics. Custom katakana script on the tongues translate to “Naiki.” With Nike once again being the official sponsor of the United States Olympic Committee in 2020, they’re wasting no time in getting to work.

Once again fragment design links up with Nike to release another collaboration. This time around the shoe of choice is none other than the Nike Zoom Tennis Classic. Said to be releasing beginning next week, let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

The fragment design x Nike Zoom Tennis Classic keeps things subtle and tonal as the shoe boasts an all-White upper done in a premium White leather. Giving the shoe additional premium flare is the reptile texture placed throughout the upper. Adding minimal contrast is the Orange noted on the tongue branding. The Nike Swoosh on the side panels comes in perforated fashion, while fragment design branding is embossed on the heel. As of right now, the shoe is said to be dropping internationally beginning August 25th, while a stateside release appears to be imminent.

Not really a fan of the model, so even if it is a collab with fragment design, the shoe still does nothing for me.

A new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 has just surfaced and its already beginning to arrive at select retailers.

Covered in a white breathable mesh throughout the upper, this Kobe 11 is than accented by royal blue on the branding, inner liner, and the Flywire cables. According to a user on Nike Talk select House Of Hoops retailers already have these available which means that more stores should be getting them in the near future.

What are your thoughts on this colorway of the Kobe 11? Do you plan on picking up a pair when they get a wider release?

Author’s Take

Pretty clean colorway of the Kobe 11, but I don’t really mess with white mesh/Flyknit. If the colors were reversed and the shoe was covered in blue then maybe I would have considered buying these.

Ashton Eaton isn’t the only one getting a special award for his Decathalon win at the Olympics this summer, as Nike has gifted newborn babies in Portland with a special pair of sneakers. As part of the “Unlimited Future” campaign that featured an inspirational commercial depicting some of Nike’s top athletes as babies (embedded below if you missed it), Nike gifted children born on Thursday, August 18th with a very special pair of Waffle 1 crib sneakers with an inspirational note within a “My First Nike” box. The sneakers?in the “Unlimited” Volt and Hyper Punch colorway, of course?were given out to newborns at the Legacy Good Samaitan Medical Center to celebrate Portland-born Ashton Eaton’s second consecutive gold medal in the decathalon, which basically confirms him as the world’s greatest athlete for another four years.

Not only is the new Nike Roshe Two releasing in the original mesh-like material, but Nike will also be giving us a Flyknit version.

When Flyknit made its debut on the Roshe One we had to wait a couple of years after the release of the original, but that won’t be the case with the Roshe Two. The Nike Roshe Two Flyknit will release on the same day as the original version and up above we take a look at three colorways that will release for the women. Included are the Black/Photo Blue, Neutral Olive, and Dark Grey colorways. Each pair will retail for $130 and will release on September 1st. Ladies, let us know which pair is on your radar.

Both the olive and dark grey colorways are real nice. I wouldn’t mind picking up either pair, I don’t care if they’re women’s colorways.

We won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on the Nike Roshe Two as the new silhouette will be making its debut on the 1st of September.

Nike will be releasing men’s and women’s colorways of both the mesh-like pairs as well as the Flyknit version. Seen above are the men’s colorways of the Nike Roshe Two Flyknit in Black/Bright Crimson, Dark Grey/Gamma Blue, and College Navy/White. The Flyknit material on the upper of this Roshe Two has been arranged in a special way that the rows of knit shift colors as you move.

Author’s Take

I like the Flyknit version much more than the mesh-like pairs. The color shifting feature is really cool and the way the Flyknit material looks on this silhouette is different and new.

More Flyknit versions of the popular Nike Air Presto continue to release as we now take a look at another colorway that’s suitable for the Fall.

Black and blue accents have then been added on the cage and toecap while a white midsole and hits of pink on the outsole and eyelets complete what ends up being a colorful sneaker.
