Aside from the Kyrie 2, the Nike Kobe 11 will also celebrate our nation?s birthday this summer, as more detailed images of the forthcoming silhouette are revealed.

As the title suggests, the basketball sneaker is essentially colored in a patriotic palette. Pristine white is prominent on the flyknit upper and tongue portion, while tonal blue converges on the rear and inner lateral section of the silhouette.

The thematic palette is capped off with university red gracing the Swooshes on its outer side panels and across the inner section of its heel tabs.

All adhered atop an icy blue translucent outsole, you can purchase this model at select Nike stores on July 2nd for a price tag of $220.

I like the silhouette overall and it looks really appealing in this colorway. The theme is well done and this should garner some attention.

While triple black offering is making its arrival next week, the Nike Kyrie 2 USA will be debuting next month as well, although, those located in North America will have to wait a few weeks into July.

The Swoosh has finally introduced the silhouette and labeled the sneaker to arrive at Nike retailers overseas first on July 2nd, while North America is scheduled for July 18th.

Overall, the basketball sneaker is defined by our nation?s signature colors — red, white and blue. A pair that will perfectly coordinate with Independence Day, but now, a few weeks late, the retail price is still set at $120.

I?m generally a fan of the silhouette and the theme is a nice homage. This colorway is pretty nice overall. I like how white is the most dominant hue to give it a really clean look.

In addition to the Air Max 1, the Nike Air Max 90 will also receive a modern makeover this season with the implementation of the brand’s renowned flyknit technology.

Essentially maintaining its iconic profile intact, the runner’s upper has been revamped with a seamless, all-woven construction that strayed from the usual leather, mesh or suede build. Tonal Hyperfuse overlays adorn the mudguard and Swooshes for reinforcement, as well as defining its recognizable aesthetic.

Offering a more lightweight and breathable design altogether, the model is previewed in four colorways, which is highlighted by the favorite Infrared finish.

I’m sure a lot of fans in the U.S. are disappointed with this overseas release. This colorway is probably one of the best on the silhouette so far. I’m just biased towards it, but, the resale for this pair just got a lot more expensive.

Following the debut of the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 this past March, the basketball sneaker’s Elite iteration is now unveiled, which was designed by Leo Chang.

Unlike its traditional counterpart, this particular model is defined by a flyknit construction. The shoe?s upper moves in tandem with the body?s natural motion, and at the same time, its striking verticality pushes the sport?s aesthetic.

Boasting an extended sock support as well, the silhouette was essentially designed to create appeal for both on and off the basketball court. Finishing details include large Swooshes along the heel and an icy translucent outsole to cap off the makeup.

Featured in a black/grey/white colorway, you can find the model at select NikeLab stockists starting today, June 27th.

I like the new construction but I’m really not a big fan of the extended sock much. This colorway is pretty appealing though. I would’ve preferred it in a mid-cut.

As the world deals with the aftermath of the Brexit vote that will see the United Kingdom leave the European Union, the sports world will be focused on the All England Club as the Wimbledon tennis tournament begins. While the world’s most famous tennis tournament won’t have to deal with the effects of the vote in short term, that doesn’t mean there a minor controversy here or there couldn’t happen, especially when it comes to their infamous dress code. Nike will once again challenge convention and tradition by dropping a gold and ivory colorway of the Nike Air Tech Challenge 3 Wimbledon that has no chance in hell of ever making it onto the courts without reprimand. But that doesn’t mean you can’t wear them because the shoes will be arriving stateside soon.

Nike has made a habit of producing tennis shoes that do not comply with the rules of the All England Club, which famously dinged Roger Federer for wearing a limited edition version of the Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour that featured orange trim. Fellow Nike athlete and GOAT Serena Williams is no stranger to the rules of Wimbledon as well, as her gear that would be fine in any other tournament in the world has raised more than a few eyebrows.

Already months into his retirement, the Nike Kobe 11, Bryant’s last on-court basketball sneaker, is set to be unveiled in an eccentric makeup which takes cues from the classic ?3D? Kobe 6 colorway.

Simply defined by its eye-catching graphic-printed upper, the component bears an all-over circular motif in shades of brown, orange and teal, which are perfectly juxtaposed against a white base that acts as a blank canvas. Tonal accents of black are prominent on the laces, tongue and inner lining, as it all rests atop a slightly translucent white sole unit to top off the overall build.

Additionally, the branded heel is shaded in orange and teal to round out the distinctive palette and aesthetic.

Look for this standout pair to drop at select Nike accounts in the coming weeks.

I like the 9 better, even though James wore this silhouette to win the championship. I?m just not a fan of the higher build and this is too bulky for my taste. This is a really nice colorway though.
