The Pristine Nike Mayfly Premium In Triple White
By SoleInsider
While its woven iterations have been prominent as of late, the Nike Mayfly is introduced in a more minimalist iteration to perfectly coordinate with the warm season.
Sporting a clean all-white finish, the model is defined by its lightweight and breathable open-mesh construction, which all rests atop the classic sole unit in its respective hue. Tonal leather overlays are also applied on the toe box and heel for more premium flair, as the signature Swoosh on the side panels finishes it off.
You can purchase this pair at select Nike accounts overseas now.
The Nike Air Max 90 Mid Utility Drops Later This Fall
By SoleInsider
Bearing similarities of its sneakerboot counterpart, the new Nike Air Max 90 Mid Utility is given a sneak peak, as the silhouette is scheduled to debut for the colder months ahead.
Essentially maintaining the recognizable profile of the iconic runner, the application of what seems to be a weatherproof ripstop zip-up shroud is prominent across its upper, while a textured detail is evident across the leather mudguard for additional flair.
Previewed in colorways of white/navy, olive/black, all-black and an infrared-inspired variation, expect this model to drop in the coming months.
I’m just a fan of the silhouette overall. This modernized iteration looks weird at first, but it’s pretty functional and still stylish in my view. Nice colorways so far.

With clean, white offerings currently introduced for the warm season, the fall/winter 2016 range of what we’ll expect to see on the Nike Air Max 95 is now previewed.
To perfectly coordinate with the season, the line features a number of darker makeups overall, as the series of colorways include Blue/Black, Grey/Pink, Beige/Grey and Off-White/Brown-Red, which are all constructed of leather as well.
One notable standout consists of the multicolor (blue/green/red/gold) iteration, which is comprised of pony hair for additional lifestyle and premium flair.
You can expect to see these pairs at Nike retailers in the coming months ahead, but stay tuned for further updates.
In addition to its multicolor offering, the newly-introduced Nike Train Ultrafast Flyknit will be offered in another colorway as well for one of its many inaugural variations this season.
Dressed in vivid tones of racer blue/total crimson/blue glow, the vibrant palette essentially covers the model’s new chain-link Flyknit upper, flywire system and large Swoosh branding on the rear. Supplemented atop a flexspeed responsive propulsion plate on the underfoot that provides ultra-responsive containment and stability, the model is finished off with a clean, white outsole.
You can find this pair at Nike retailers starting Wednesday, June 15th.
Like I’ve shared before, I like the silhouette. This colorway is another solid option and perfect for the season. I’m looking forward to the monochromatic iterations though.

The model is adhered atop a black/white sole unit with a responsive propulsion plate underfoot, which provides ultra-responsive containment and stability.

Adding a sporty feel to the shoe are the Dynamic Flywire cables that provide you with additional support. Additional features on the shoe include the patent leather on the toebox to further enhance the aesthetics of the shoe. Can you see the Hyperdunk being uses as a lifestyle sneaker? Let us know what you think about the Nike Hyperdunk Lux below.
Kevin Durant’s season has come to a close, and once again his quest for an NBA ring has come a bit short. He can still hold his head up high though because he continues to be one of the best talents in the game. Looking to get even better during the off season, Durant will take part in this year’s 2016 Summer Olympics as a member of the USA Basketball team. While on his quest for gold, Durant will be wearing the Nike KD 9 USA.
The Nike KD 9 establishes itself by coming with a intricate Flyknit upper done in White, while hits of Blue and Red add some nice contrast and complete the patriotic theme. Said to be dropping on June 27th for $150, it this a cop or drop?
The Nike KD 8 Uptempo was just recently revealed. If those initial pictures caught your eye, you’re going to love he additional images we have for you. With the Nike KD 9 right around the corner, expect this Uptempo colorway to be one of the few to drop on the model.
The Uptempo version of the shoe has it come in a White, Metallic Silver and Game Royal color scheme. The all-White upper is nicely contrasted by the Silver accents all around the shoe. The shoe’s most noteworthy feature is the Nike Swoosh branding done in a metallic/mirror motif. Creating contrast on the shoe is the Game Royal placed on the sole. No release date as of today, but you can already pick these up through eBay.
I really like the look of the Swoosh. Only problem is, that’s the only thing I like from the shoe. I can’t wait for the KD 9 to drop. I’m pretty much over this model.

After getting a small glimpse of some upcoming colorways from the Nike Dunk High Be True To Your School Collection, we now take a look at official images of the pair that has been designated for Syracuse University.
Covered in a premium White leather all throughout the upper, contrasting hits of bright orange land on the overlays as well as on the Swoosh, heel, ankle, inner liner, heel tab, Nike branding on the tongue, and the outsole.
With the official images already out it shouldn’t be too much longer before these hit retailers. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.
Much like the Syracuse pair, this Villanova colorway also comes constructed out of a premium White leather on the majority of the upper. Navy Blue accents provide a nice contrast by being placed on the overlays, Swoosh, inner liner, heel, laces, Nike branding and the outsole. A white midsole and navy outsole complete the look on this collegiate colorway of the Nike Dunk.
There is no confirmed release date yet but keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for updates.
Now this colorway I can definitely see myself wearing. I like this pair better than the Michigan pair because white/navy is easier to wear then yellow/navy.
