Opposing guards can’t even take getting schooled by Kyrie Irving personally anymore, it’s just what the man does. Kyrie has some of the best handles the game has ever seen, and at 24 years young he still has time to get even better at it. That’s a scary thought. Nike Basketball is referencing both the back to school season and Kyrie’s unique ability to string the ball on an invisible yo-yo with the Nike Kyrie 2 “School Bus”, out today in youth sizes only.

The vibrantly colored University Gold upper adds a contrasting black midfoot strap to match the Kyrie 2 School Bus lines on the heel. A new stop sign logo reads ‘Kyrie’ on the tongue while black speckles land on the midsole for added depth. Grab this kid’s exclusive Kyrie 2 today from Nike.com.

Author’s Take

The stop sign on the tongue and the school bus writing on the heel make it look too much like a kids release. Take those two tings off and this definitely would have been a hit for adults.

Andre Agassi’s signature on-court style was one of the most unique tennis games at the professional level. Pair that with his crazy hair, denim Nike commissioned get-ups and his flashy signature silhouettes, and his aesthetic was as legendary as his game. The Nike Air Tech Challenge II may not have gotten this Brogue look until decades after he retired, but we wouldn’t have put it past Nike to release an in-game variety featuring the dress shoe-like ensemble back in the 90s.

We’ve seen the Air Tech Challenge II get some premium treatments in the past for Nike’s Grand Slam celebrations but they’ve since toned down the retro with premium suede and micro-perforated leather. Two suede renditions in either Black or Night Maroon showcase this pair’s crossover appeal as a Vachetta Tan leather heel pairs ornamental perforated patterns with a matching ankle collar. A clean white midsole/outsole combination adds the perfect finish.

Be sure to check out more detailed shots below and know that international spots like Titolo have these dress shoe-inspired Agassi retros for sale today.

Group play for Team USA Basketball has concluded and it looks like the victory lap that many anticipated has hit a few snags along the way. After a dominant exhibition season and a pair of easy wins to start the tournament, USA barely squeaked out wins against Australia, Serbia and France. While they are still undefeated heading into the knockout rounds, all the talk about international basketball taking a step back these past few years sounds a little haphazard now.

Since we are still a sneaker blog based in America (and because the Philippines didn’t even make it to Rio), we’ll be rooting for KD, ‘Melo, Uncle Drew, Boogie and the rest to take home the gold this week. Here’s a look back at the kicks they’ve worn so far including some new colorways of the Nike KD 9, Nike Kyrie 2, Air Jordan XXX1 and many more. Hopefully someone gets real bold and break out some gold (probably Draymond Green) for the medal rounds.

To follow-up on a recent gym red colorway, the Nike Air Max 95 Ultra SE is now revealed in an upcoming fall-appropriate finish.

Sporting a mixture of olive with yellow gold-like accents across its seamless foam and mesh upper, the component is also detailed with perforations along its eye stays to enable superb ventilation as well.

Last offered in lasered iterations, the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 returns this summer in an autumn-inclined colorway.

Flaunting premium suede across its upper, dipped in night maroon, complementing accents of vachetta tan adorn the tongue label, lacing panel on the ankle and intricate detailing across the heel to pronounce its bold, yet understated colorway. The two tones are simply offset by a crisp, white rubber sole unit that finishes off the clean design.

You can find this pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, but, a stateside release is expected to make its arrival soon.

Nike Sportswear revived those old school 90s telephone ads when re-introducing the retro Nike Zoom Talaria to the world. The cult-classic silhouette featured a premium ride thanks to Zoom technology and was at the top of plenty of retro running collector’s lists given how difficult the 1997 model was to find before a re-release happened this past March. Now after initial original colorways have hit retailers, NSW is getting creative with a number of lifestyle-ready looks.

The Nike Talaria is back in a new black and brown look perfect for the coming Fall 2016 season. The casual take features a premium black leather construction with brown piping throughout. But there’s more – that same brown shade doubles as a reflective 3M material when the light hits for a head-turning look perfect for nighttime running. Also included is premium metallic gold speckling on the outsole unit that perfectly compliments the casual brown throughout. No word yet on a release date, but check out more official Nike photos after the break and stay tuned for more right here on Sneaker News.

Following a brief first look, new detailed images of this new Nike LeBron 13 Elite EXT is now revealed.

Exhibiting more lifestyle appeal compared to its original counterpart, the model is treated with vachetta tan leather covering its perforated upper.

It’s usually this time of year when we start seeing previews of LeBron’s next signature sneaker, but even with the anticipation of the Nike LeBron 14, the Swoosh is still creating new renditions of the Nike LeBron 13 Elite. This EXT-like leather rendition is the most premium creation utilizing the LeBron 13 Elite as a blueprint to date, and it pays off thanks to smart use of the popular vachetta tan color throughout.

The LeBron 13 Elite tweaked some of the performance technologies to help LeBron shed some weight for the added playoff push. The overall aesthetic remained relatively unchanged by adding a huge carbon fiber shank, losing the posite construction for a synthetic Kurim rubberized textile, and more. The addition of a premium leather sees embossed Swoosh details on the side panel, added perforations up the tongue, subtle yet effective red speckling on the exposed Dynamic Flywire and heel branding, and a milky white outsole. There’s no word yet on a release date, but you can grab this premium LeBron pair right now on eBay.

The women’s rendition of the Nike Internationalist receives a vibrant update to cap off the summer season.

Styled in a combination of obsidian/digital pink-sunset, the classic retro runner has been modernized with more stylish flair. The understated tone is prominent across its toe box and side panels, while sunset orange is prominent for its overlays and laces. Pink swooshes add even more vibrance to its already eye-catching design, as the rear section bears a triangular motif for a distinctive finish.

All resting atop a white midsole unit and black outsole, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.

Just like this recently featured AM 95, the Nike Air Max 90 is treated in the same three-tone finish, consisting of ale brown, navy and white.

The defining earthy hue is essentially prominent on the suede toe box and laces, while navy converges across the collar section, tongue, inner lining, mudguard and visible air bubble unit in the heel to reinforce the understated palette.

Topped off with contrasting white on the midsole unit to cap off the respective colorway, you can find this pair at select Nike retailers overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.

While a neutral olive pair is currently available, the newly-introduced Nike Air Presto SE is set to be released in the ubiquitous triple black finish as well this season.

Unlike its traditional counterpart, this rendition boasts a stretch mesh upper that promotes sufficient breathability and natural comfort throughout. Further detailed with its signature TPU midfoot cage system, the silhouette is topped off with a matching phylon midsole and air-sole unit that provides soft, lightweight cushioning.

You can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers very soon for a retail price tag of $130.
