The Olympic sneaker saga continues with Nike Sportswear’s reference to quite possibly the greatest basketball roster of all time, the Team USA’s 1992 Dream Team, through the release of four premium Nike Air Force 1 colorways. We’ve already seen the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit as the official off-the-court sneaker of this year’s squad, but there’s nothing like an original, as Bruce Kilgore’s iconic silhouette returns in two Nike Air Force 1 Low precious metal options, from a micro-perforated Metallic Gold and a runner-up Metallic Silver. The Nike Air Force 1 High takes a simpler route, with white and black bases also featuring the microperforated leather panels throughout. A unique basketball logo with 5 stars is stitched onto all of the heels while a ‘1992’ graphic lands on the insole in block numbers. Stay tuned for a stateside release date, as we’ll keep you updated on the latest right here on Sneaker News.

Nike focussed on creating a football boot so dynamic and lightweight that it could answer the question of ‘what if the foot had actually evolved to play the game of football?’. Designer Phil Woodman returned to answer that question with the Nike Magista 2, the latest soccer silhouette featuring a mid collar and the evolution of Nike’s coveted Flyknit technology. Created with the attempt to be an organic extension of the foot, Nike made the boot as lightweight as possible by mapping the Flyknit in a completely new way through the use of negative space. The Nike Magista 2 utilizes a new Dynamic Fit Collar, skipping out on the normal tongue construction so that the silhouette could utilize a light padding under the laces for added coverage to one of the foot’s most highly contacted areas. The “Heat Map” colorway actually mirrors the set of data collected when Woodman and Nike studied the foot’s high contact areas when playing the game of soccer – the darker the Flyknit section, the more likely the foot will contact the ball there. The Nike Magista 2 will be available July 24th on the Nike Football App. Check out a detailed look below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

I used to wear this model back then and I’m basically a fan. It’s nice to see it in this colorway too. The only downside is keeping it clean obviously.

Previously offered in satin iterations for women, the classic Nike Air Max Plus is showcased in a revamped iteration with the application of the Swoosh’s Free sole unit to create this Free Plus Tuned 1 Sample.

Noted as a 1-of-1 prototype model, the model’s mesh upper consists as its focal point, as it bears a water-colored camouflage print that’s reinforced with a wavy structural overlay in metallic silver.

Perfectly juxtaposed against a white full-length sole, this particular pair isn’t expected to be released to the public, although, you can find it at eBay if you want to own the exclusive silhouette.

Simply correlating to the open road and its role as a connector of people, the skateboarding silhouette’s suede upper is punctuated with a distinctive asphalt patterning to perfectly encapsulate the theme. Hits of white are implemented on the tongue, inner lining, laces, leather heel tab and Swooshes across its side panels, in addition the the midsole unit.

I used to collect SBs often back then and I would’ve purchased this in a heartbeat. I’m over that phase now, but, this is a pretty solid option nonetheless.

Ken Griffey Jr., already regarded as one of the most celebrated sluggers in the history of baseball, will reach the pinnacle of personal success as he will officially be inducted into baseball’s Hall Of Fame later this month. Nike has been releasing iotas of nostalgia in the form of his Air Griffey Max 1 in classic and bold new colorways, but today’s new development is a bit of a mix of both as the crisp and clean all-white look finally lands on the Nike Air Griffey Max 1. This super-crisp pair of Griffey Retros is beginning to release at Nike retailers now, but there’s likely a firm release date for these in regards to a Nike.com or Nike SNKRS release. Full photos are just below.

The silhouette itself is alright, but, that colorway is too bright for my taste. It’s appealing through and the print looks nice.

Popular soccer boot silhouettes — Nike Magista Obra and the Opus — receive its latest update this season with a new lineage.

Revamped with a new thermoformed Flyknit or Kanga-Lite upper, the silhouettes delivers an enhanced lockdown fit and ultimate control in all conditions. The Obra in particular inherits a more anatomically contoured Dynamic Fit Collar, which essentially conforms to the shape of the ankle bone while leveraging a thicker knit structure for additional coverage.

For a more secure fit, an internal heel counter has been implemented, while a grip sockliner enhances in-boot stability and is part of the boot?s overall traction system. Additionally, the stud configuration of the soleplate has been tweaked through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) — a scientific testing of the optimal pattern per style of play.

Each rendered in a vibrant color scheme of Volt/Total Orange/Pink Blast-Black, you can find both pairs at the Nike Football App on July 24th, while an online release is set for July 26.

Retail price is listed at $230 – $300.

I’ve never bought soccer cleats, but, these offerings are pretty solid. I like the overall style and build. It blends performance and style nicely.

When we first started getting leaked looks of the Nike Air Trainer Cruz (before it even released) one of the first colorways that surfaced was this all-red pair that many were calling the Red October colorway.

For reasons unknown, Nike decided to never officially release this color and instead gave us a handful of others. But did they really scrap it? According to a user on Nike Talk the shoe was recently available for purchase in a full size run at a Marshall’s location in Long Island. To make things even crazier, the sneakers were priced for only $60!!

If you would have spotted these at your local Marshall’s, would you have copped or passed?

Remember when CrossFit banned the Nike Metcon and Nike fired back with their own Air Jordan 1 inspired “Banned” edition of the shoe? (If not, read about it here.) Well it looks like the Metcon 2 is also receiving a colorway borrowed from an OG Air Jordan 1 look, which as you can see here, is the the iconic “Royal” color combination in blue and black. If you’ve always wanted a pair of Royals for the gym, now you’re all set. You can find the Nike Metcon 2 “Royal” soon at select Nike Training suppliers.

The post The Nike Metcon 2 Also Gets an Air Jordan 1 Inspired Colorway appeared first on Sneaker News.

About a year ago Nike released a special Nike Metcon, their first CrossFit trainer, that took inspiration from one of the most iconic sneakers of all-time, the Air Jordan 1 Bred. The shoe featured a black upper with strategic hits of Varsity Red throughout.

A year later we get our first look at a new colorway of the Nike Metcon 2 that takes inspiration from another iconic Air Jordan 1, this time the Royal 1. As you can see in the image above the Metcon 2 is dressed in a black/royal color scheme reminiscent of the Air Jordan 1. There’s rumors that this colorway will be releasing on July 18th, but nothing has been confirmed just yet.

Author’s Take

I don’t do CrossFit so I wouldn’t really wear these shoes. If I did I would definitely have picked these up and the Breds though.

Over the weekend we saw the release of the latest Nike KD 9 which has been dubbed the Mic Drop colorway.

This simple colorway of the KD 9 features a black and white Flyknit upper along with additional white accents on the branding. A black midsole and Air Zoom unit keeps things tonal. It’s being said that this colorway takes inspiration from the color of Kevin Durant’s audio equipment in his home studio. Not sure how “cool” or significant the story behind the colorway is, but it is versatile and very easy to wear. You can scoop up the Nike KD 9 Mic Drop at select Nike retailers now for $150.
