It’s hard to believe that the Nike Air Foamposite One released back in 1997. Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the shoe, so you know very well that Nike is going to release special versions of the shoe to commemorate the 20 years. One way Nike looks to celebrate the models anniversary is by once again releasing the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal.

The Nike Air Foamposite One Royal is one of the OG colorways on the Penny model. It’s only right that Nike re-releases it to celebrate its 20th. A Royal posite upper is paired up with hit of Black placed on the eyestay, tongue, heel, lining and laces. Carbon fiber fiber and a translucent motif is placed on the sole region. Said to be dropping March of 2017, are you looking forward to the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal 20th Anniversary?

It’s good to see this classic colorway make a return. Not a fan of the posite look, but fans of the model are sure to have a grin on their face after reading this news.

Nike’s newest running sneaker, the Nike Zoom All Out Flyknit, will be arriving at retailers tomorrow. The Zoom All Out Flyknit merges the ultra-light lockdown of a 3/4-height Flyknit upper with a Zoom Air unit that runs nearly the length of the shoe.

This is yet another addition to the always evolving Nike Running division where we see two amazing technologies placed together on one shoe. Wasting no time getting their hands on this new Nike runner is NikeLab as they have already created their own blacked out colorway. This features a Black Flyknit upper with Black detailing on the laces, Swoosh, and midsole. The only contrast comes with the Volt Zoom Air unit and the icy blue outsole.

There is no confirmed release date yet but you can expect the NikeLab Zoom All Out Flyknit to release in the near future. Maybe even tomorrow. Retail price will be $200.

The more I see this new runner from Nike the more I like it. The Nike Flyknit Max is one of my favorite shoes and the fact that this shoe is very similar is exciting. I’d like to see more color on the Flyknit upper so I’m not a huge fan of this NikeLab colorway.

Kevin Durant has a busy off-season ahead of him between a big free agency decision and playing in the upcoming Rio Summer Olympics for Team USA. In honor of the occasion, Nike Basketball has been aggressively pushing the KD 9 – Durant even laced up the yet to be released model throughout the Western Conference Finals before bowing out to the Warriors in 7 games. The first retail release will occur right before USA Basketball convenes for practices with the Nike KD 9 USA on June 27th. One of the major focal points of this shoe has been in the use of Flyknit for the first time ever on Kevin Durant model, and Nike Basketball even reduced the price of the sneaker to $150 USD. As for as the patriotic colorway goes, the shoe matches the overhauled Nike Basketball uniforms. Simple, and no frills, the white upper is accented by University Red and Racer Blue throughout. Check out the first retail set of images below and stay tuned for more release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Known to usually steer away from retro releases of their classic colorways for whatever reason, Nike SB has apparently had a change of heart this summer as one of the most beloved colorways of the Zoom Stefan Janoski makes a return. Blooming again this month is the coveted “Digi-Floral” colorway of the Janoski in canvas, which sold out quickly and was hot on the resale market after it originally released in 2013. After the digital floral motif appeared again in a “Mandarin” color scheme in late 2013, we haven’t seen it again until now, as the original version drops again this weekend. The Zoom Janoski “Digi-Floral” drops Friday, June 10th at Nike.com and select Nike SB retailers.

While you won’t be able to pick up the Nike Kyrie 2 Finals PE that Kyrie Irving wore for game 3 last night (unless you go on NIKEiD), there is another brand new Kyrie 2 that is available at retailers right now.

The Nike Kyrie 2 Kyrache hit retailers earlier this week and is now readily available for you to cop. Featuring a White mesh upper with Black detailing on the ankle/heel, Bold Berry then lands on the strap, and Lyon Blue on the tongue. This Kyrie 2 is inspired by the OG colorway of the Nike Air Flight Huarache that releases back in 1992, the same year that Kyrie was born.

Pick up your pair now at select Nike retailers for $120.

I like the theme/inspiration that Nike used for this colorway but I?m just not a fan of the actual colors used on the shoe. I?m sure many people do like it though.

Nike Basketball has surprised plenty by starting to release retros of the original Nike Hyperdunk straight from 2008 in a wave of monochromatic casually inclined colorways. But nobody could have expected that Nike Sportswear would further that thought process through this new Nike Hyperdunk Lux sample. The pair ditches the all Flywire upper for a new woven construction while Dynamic Flywire cables add premium support. A patent leather hits the toebox to further the luxurious sensibilities. What do you think of the idea of upping the Hyperdunk’s lifestyle appeal? Check out a preview and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers down two games in the NBA Finals heading into Wednesday’s Game 3, all eyes were on LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love as the scene shifted from Oakland to the city that can’t win at anything. For their part, Nike stepped up their game by pushing their “Believe In ______” campaign featuring all of the Nike guys they have under contract. Sure, it’s hilarious to see something as dumb as “Believe in Dahntay Jones”, but believing in LeBron James isn’t something we need to be told; we know he’ll be great or do his damndest to get there. And he delivered with 32 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and an iconic moment in the form of the alley-oop above from Kyrie.

LeBron not only threw one down, he went throwback as he debuted the Nike LeBron Soldier 10. Before Nike went Elite and dropped premium priced performance kicks for the playoffs, LeBron wore his “takedown” Soldiers for his playoff runs. As the venue moved east, so did the colors as Kyrie debuted a white, wine red and gold Kyrie 2, Stephen Curry revealed the Black Knight Curry Two and much more.

LeBron’s going to need his soldiers to step up if the Cavaliers are going to make this a series against the Golden State Warriors tonight. For the better part of LeBron’s career, his signature models have been accompanied by the team-centric Soldier series – a shoe usually dedicated to using performance enhancing Zoom technology and a variety of experimental designs that push the idea that anonymous team models don’t have to be that anonymous after all. Today we get a preview of the upcoming Nike LeBron Soldier 10 on-feet. The shoe ditches the traditional lacing system for a slip-on design complete with three large velcro straps that look closer to belonging in the annual adidas Y-3 lineup than on a basketball court. A high-arching ankle support adds stability while an icy outsole features a unique traction pattern. Continue onward for a better look at the latest installment of the LeBron Soldier series and let us know if you’re a fan of the look by taking your thoughts to our comments section.

Back in the Nike Dunk High‘s heyday, Villanova University was a basketball powerhouse. Flash forward to over three decades later and the Wildcats are back on top of the college hoops world after a stunning victory over the Tar Heels in this year’s National Championship. What better way to celebrate than to release the infamous Nike Dunk High in a retro Villanova-themed colorway? This simple White/Midnight Navy Quickstrike was originally a member of the lauded Be True To Your School Collection which featured a number of Nike sponsored programs with their signature colors featured prominently on the leather panels. Villanova’s just happened to be one of the cleantest. What do you think of the look? Check out a better preview below and be on the lookout for this Dunk to arrive later this month.

You can?t go wrong with this pair. This variation is pretty appealing and I?m pretty biased overall. The only downside is keeping it clean constantly.

A lot of Under Armour’s growing footwear business can be attributed to the on-court success of Steph Curry, but for the unfamiliar, Senior Vice-President of Design Dave Dombrow played a large role in nearly every footwear project over the past five years. That was until Nike stepped in and stole Dombrow away from the brand back in March. But now things are getting interesting, as Dombrow is reportedly returning to Under Armour before he could even step inside of Nike’s Innovation Kitchen. Perhaps his decision change had to do with the fact that he was under a non-compete contract with UA and wouldn’t even be able to start working for Nike until 2017, according to The Drum. Dombrow will be back with UA come August 1st in a new position: Chief Design Officer, and we’re excited to see what he’s cooking up for Under Armour in the future.
