Fans of the Nike Roshe Daybreak NM will be happy to hear that more colorways of the hybrid model are on the way. Up next is this brand new Pink Smoke colorway that’s available now. Let’s take a closer look at the Fall-appropriate sneaker.

The Pink Smoke colorway of the Nike Roshe Daybreak NM comes in two different shades of Pink placed on the mesh and suede constructed body. Offsetting the tonal look of the shoe is the Dark Obsidian pebbled leather placed on the Nike Swoosh and heel tab. Additional features include the vintage off-white placed on the tongue, laces and Phylon midsole. Out now, pick up your very own pair for the retail price of $110.

I’m not really a fan of the hybrid version of the Roshe Run. The colorway is on point, but I just don’t see myself picking up a pair of these.

You won’t have to wait much loner to get your hands on a pair of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt as the shoe is scheduled to release exactly one week from today. Originally viewed as a Ben Gordon PE exclusive, the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt will not be releasing to the general public.

The shoe starts off with a Blue colorway taking care of the entire posite upper. The same hue extends down to the sole unit to give the shoe a nice streamlined motif. Contrasting the tonal look are the hits of Black placed on the leather eye stay, tongue, lining, laces and of course, the glossy Nike Swoosh placed on the side panels. A carbon fiber shank is also present to round out the main features on the shoe. Said to be releasing on August 25th for $230, are you looking to pick up a pair? Be sure to click and bookmark our official Nike Air Foamposite Pro Hyper Cobalt launch page now for more images, the latest info and release details.

I don’t think I ever see myself picking up a pair of Foams, but if I had to choose a colorway, this would be one of them. Very clean looking shoe, just not my style since I’m not a fan of the bulkiness and posite upper.

Fans of the Nike Air Presto will have yet another option when it comes to the materials that are placed on the lightweight runner.

While Flyknit has been the most recent highlight of the Presto, today we see the silhouette in the newest woven version. As the name suggests, the Nike Air Presto utilizes a new woven material all throughout the upper with the exception of the neoprene tongue/bootie. This pair takes on the popular Triple Black color scheme and is expected to arrive at select Nike retailers in the near future. Check out the official images above and let us know if you plan on picking up a pair when the drop. Retail price will be $130.

I live the woven upper but just not in this colorway. I look forward to seeing more colorways in the future.

The Nike KD 9 goes tropical for its next colorway, the “Birds of Paradise” version that flies into retailers tomorrow. The tropical theme releasing during the Olympics in Brazil is certainly no coincidence, as we’re guessing Nike planned ahead for the fact that Kevin Durant would be helping lead Team USA while also showcasing his latest signature model on the court in Rio. The nature-minded theme of this KD 9 utilizes a bright jade green and black color palette to achieve the tropical feel, completed with hits of Volt throughout amplifying the vibrant look even further. Whether you’re yet to pick up a pair of the KD 9 or just want another colorway to add to your existing collection, you can pick up the “Birds of Paradise” look tomorrow at select Nike Basketball retailers globally.

LeBron James isn’t in Rio with Team USA right now but he must be there in spirit or something because Nike has decided that they’ll be releasing his latest sneaker in a Gold Medal theme/colorway.

The Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 gets the Gold Medal treatment as the shoe’s upper has been done in a pristine White with Metallic Gold detailing landing on the LeBron and Nike branding as well as on the speckling on all three straps. USA has also been added on the heel in gold while an icy blue translucent outsole wrap things up. Look for the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 Gold Medal at select Nike retailers on August 22nd for a retail price of $140.

Why is LeBron getting a Gold Medal sneaker again??? Shoe looks decent but I feel like it’s too much white.

Kyrie Irving and Team USA are only two wins away from capturing the highly coveted gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. With the semifinal game against Spain taking place tomorrow, USA hope to come out on top and play in the gold medal game on Sunday.

Kyrie Irving and Nike hope that Team USA proves to the world that they have assembled the best team in the world by winning the gold medal. The day after the gold medal game Nike will be releasing Gold Medal colorway of the Kyrie 2, KD 9, and LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 in what they hope will be celebratory colorways. Here are official pictures of the Nike Kyrie 2 Gold Medal which is completely covered in University Red on the entire upper with the only contrast being hits of Metallic Gold that can be seen on the upper eyelets, and the Nike and Kyrie Irving branding on the midsole, strap, tongue, and heel.

This shoe could have looked much better if there was some contrast added perhaps some blue or white. It pretty much looks like an all-red shoe. Not a fan.

After previewing the sneaker yesterday, we now take a look at official images of the upcoming Nike KD 9 Gold Medal that give us a much better look at the shoe.

This patriotic colorway of the KD 9 comes with Dark Obsidian all over the Flyknit upper with a vibrant red landing on the inner liner, upper eyelets, and the KD branding on the heel. Finishing things off is Metallic Gold which can be seen on the Swoosh logo as well as the “USA” writing on the heel tab.

Set to drop on August 22nd for $150 at select Nike retailers, is this a cop or a drop for you?

Author’s Take

Out of all the colorways of the KD 9 that we’ve seen I would have to say that this is my favorite pair so far. Love the blue Flyknit upper combines with the gold accents.

Tomorrow we’ll be seeing a new colorway of the Nike Flyknit Racer hit retailers with this Volt pair that you see above.

The sleek runner from Nike has been outfitted with a Black and Volt Flyknit upper with additional Black accents landing on hte later Swoosh checks, tongue, laces, inner liner, part of the midsole, and the rubber outsole. Hits of White on the midsole and the medial Swooshes complete the look on this vibrant pair of Racers that will release on August 19th for a retail price of $150. Will you cop or pass?

Volt isn’t usually a colorway that I like, but the way it’s combined with black here and the fact that I love the Flyknit Racer makes these a win-win. I just may have to pick up a pair.

Multiple players on this iteration of Team USA have claimed that winning a Gold Medal in the Olympics would be just as important, if not a better alternative to winning an NBA Championship. Kyrie Irving won’t ever have to worry about one or the other, though, as the reigning NBA Champ sunk a game-winning three-pointer in Game 7 in the NBA Finals and then decided to suit up for the red, white, and blue and play under his former college coach Mike Krzyzewski this summer. Nike Basketball is already celebrating the quest for another Gold Medal with their upcoming Team USA “Gold Swoosh” Pack featuring this near-all-red Kyrie 2 Gold Medal out August 22nd.

The Kyrie 2 Gold Medal is undoubtedly the loudest and most vibrant of the trio of Nike Basketball Gold Medal releases, as a University Red upper pairs a mesh and fuse construction together for a head-turning look. Touches of Metallic Gold hit the Swoosh and Kyrie branding throughout while an American flag is printed on the insoles. Kyrie’s ‘J.B.Y’ mantra which stands for “Just Be You” is also featured on the inner-tongue for an added personal touch.

With Team USA currently atop the Men’s Olympic Basketball standings at an undefeated 6-0, it looks like Kyrie will accomplish that rare feat of winning both an NBA title and an Olympic Gold Medal in the same year. They do have Spain standing in their way on Friday, August 19th and we’ll be excited to see how it all plays out. Check out more offical photos of the Kyrie 2 Gold Medal below and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

Tinker Hatfield’s iconic Nike Air Safari creation has received the retro treatment countless times before but has since been on a little hiatus. NikeLab has updated the famed late-80s printed silhouette with the Nike Air Safari Royal, a premium menswear lifestyle take on the retro that paired a deconstructed suede upper with Vachetta Tan leather support for a head-turning albeit expensive twist.

The Nike Safari is back today in that “Royal” treatment featuring a mix of materials that provide both comfort and durability that will carry over from season to season. This Dark Grey rendition pairs embossed Safari speckles on the toe and ankle collar with just the right amount of Vachetta Tan on the midsole and inner lining for a look appropriate for any occasion. What do you think of the latest Nike Air Safari Royal creation? Check out more photos after the break and know that you can grab your size right now from international retailers like Hanon.

Kevin Durant is leading Team USA in scoring, and yet Coach K thinks that his superstar could be playing better by saying, “We obviously need him to be the Kevin Durant of Istanbul and London. We?re hoping the medal round brings that out.? Nike Basketball, on the other hand, is still planning on a Team USA Gold Medal, as the imprint has previewed their upcoming “Gold Medal” USA Pack for August 22nd featuring the KD 9, Kyrie 2, and LeBron Soldier 10. Today we get the best look yet at the Nike KD 9 Gold Medal.

Kevin Durant’s ninth signature model is his most technologically advanced yet thanks to a bolstered Flyknit woven upper, Dynamic Flywire support system, and a full-length Zoom cushioning for a comfortable and lightweight ride that’s as unique as any basketball performance model on the market today. The Nike KD 9 Gold Medal utilizes an ominous Obsidian upper to match Team USA’s road uniforms while Metallic Gold branding on the Swoosh and a ‘USA’ heel tab nods at the intentions of America’s dominant Olympic basketball program. Throw in University Red on the lining and a pristine icy outsole, and this could be the cleanest KD 9 pair to date. Team USA and Durant still have a lot of work to do in order to grab that Gold Medal during the elimination rounds ahead, but here’s to hoping that they pull things out.

The Nike KD 9 Gold Medal will be available at select shops on August 22nd for $150 USD. Be sure to check out a full view of the upcoming colorway below and head to our release dates page for more.

I like the silhouette overall and this colorway is probably one of the best so far. I?m just biased towards the palette I guess, but, it?s a nice offering overall.
