The most up to date Air Jordan, Nike, Adidas sneaker news. Check back to this page daily for more sneaker news!

Few things genuinely shock me when I pass by your run of the (Ontario) mill(s) sneaker store anymore. After several years on the job, you become numb to a few things, namely the amount of new sneakers that you see on a daily basis. Seeing them in person obviously serves a purpose and you get to see and interact with people to get a feeling for what’s really “trending” instead of just looking at the analytics of every tweet and post, but the actual joy of discovery is often times gone. It takes that special something to truly make me do a double turn and it takes something remarkable to inspire an impulse buy. The Nike Zoom Air 96 Olympic was just that sneaker.

Penny Hardaway’s Olympic player exclusive has been on my radar of must-haves since well, ’96 when he wore them in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta as part of the second Dream Team (sorry, 1994 FIBA squad). The Zoom Flight 96 featured an elegant wavy design that was typical of 90s – in a good way – design back then and it was on the feet of one of my favorite NBA players of all-time. Back in 1996 when my source for information on kicks were NBA-related magazines and whatever blurry photo I could find on the LA Times, I really thought the Zoom Flight 96 was going to be the Nike Air Penny II. That wouldn’t be the case and the Zoom Flight 96 went to become a fun footnote in Penny’s sneaker history and a surefire candidate for a future Sneaker Grails post.

I knew that the Nike Zoom Flight 96 Olympic was coming back this month, but all signs were pointing to an end of the month release. Imagine my (very pleasant) surprise when that wasn’t the case. Check out the unboxing above as part of our KoF Live series when we open them up on Facebook Live.  Let us know what you think about the shoe in the comments.

Not too long ago we gave you a heads up that a handful of Prestos with graphic patterns on the upper were going to release later on down the line. One of those releases is the Nike Air Presto Fire Waves you see above.

The graphic placed on the Presto upper comes in a combination of Vivid Sulfur, Black, Sail and a little bit of Racer Blue. The actual consists of Fire Waves placed all over the overlay, while the hits of Black noted on the cage, laces, toe cap and outsole tone it down a bit. No word yet on when these bad boys will release, but one they do are you looking to pick up a pair?

The latest colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 to be unveiled has the shoe’s upper covered in a graphic that appears to mimic the look of a snake, a reptile Kobe likes to associate himself with. Let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

The Kobe 11 is seen dressed in a color combination consisting of Black and Green with just a touch of Silver placed in areas such as the Nike Swoosh and the bold Mamba logo on the heel. If you take a closer look at the heel you will also see that it comes in a snakeskin textured fashion. Said to already be available internationally, we will let you know if/when these get a stateside release.

I’m surprised not more snake-themed Kobes exist. it fits so well with his Black Mamba persona. This pair looks clean! I’d like to see them release in the states.

The Nike Kobe 11 will soon come out with a Mambacurial colorway. It has now become the norm to see a Mambacurial colorway on the Nike Kobe signature line, so this really shouldn’t come as no surprise.

Unlike past versions of this theme, the Nike Kobe 11 Mambacurial kind of has inspiration from a handful of different Mercurial releases, so in a way it sort of like a Nike Kobe 11 What The Mercurial. The shoes comes with panels that represent different Mercurial models from 1998 all the way to 2016. As of right now the shoe is slated to drop on September 15th for $160. Keep it locked as more info and images are sure to follow.

For quite some time now we’ve known that a sequel of the beloved Nike Roshe Run was in the works. While we do know the shoe will be releasing sometime this year, Nike has yet to provide any type of info or images of the shoe. The latest rumor suggest that the shoe you see above is that Nike Roshe 2.

The supposed Nike Roshe 2 appear to keep the same blueprint while only changing a few things here and there. New features include the sock construction and a new lacing system. If this were to be the Roshe 2, would you be fine with that or disappointed?

Author’s Take

I hope it’s not. I want the Roshe 2 to have a look of its own. I guess we will have to wait and see.

The 1996 Summer Olympics took place in Atlanta, Georgia exeatly 20 years ago. Damn that makes me feel old, but that’s beside the point. Nike is going to release a pair of the Nike Air Trainer SC High that commemorates the 20th anniversary of those Summer Olympics.

This limited-edition sneaker comes with a design that celebrates the colors and logos of the Atlanta games. The Nike Air Trainer SC High comes with an Emerald upper done in a suede leather. Offsetting the tonal look are the Gold accents that symbolize the the main gold of the games, the Gold medal. Additional features include the unique branding on the tongue consisting of an embroidered peach representing Atlanta, Georgia, and NIKE branding on the other tongue. Laurel wreaths are placed on the heel to give it that Olypic feel, all while having the shoe sitting on top of a translucent sole speckled with colors from the vintage emblem. Releasing on July 19th. Who’s looking to get a pair ?

Great themed sneaker. I’m not a huge fan of the model, but it does look good in this make up. That outsole looks amazing!

Like the Nike Flyknit Racer, the Flyknit Air Max seems like it’s going to be a model that keeps releasing in new colorways forever. Until we get some kind of update for either of Nike’s popular Flyknit constructed runners, there will still be plenty of more appealing new colorways to look forward to, like these three new versions of the women’s Flyknit Air Max in your choice of vibrant blue and pink or jade and violet mixes, or a more neutral take in an “Oreo” black and white weave. Preview all three new colorways of the women’s Flyknit Air Max here, and expect them at Nike running retailers later this summer.

Nike’s Big Window classic is back with an updated construction. The Nike Air Classic BW featured the largest visible air unit on any Air Max model when introduced in 1991, thus the “BW” in its name, and with vibrant colorways like the original “Persian Violet” and more, it was definitely a crowd pleaser. Nike Sportswear has brought back the model in a number of original looks, but now we’re getting an update in the Nike Air Classic BW Ultra SE. The slimmed down outsole unit sheds some weight, while a unique upper ditches the numerous side panels for a streamlined, modern touch. This Coastal Blue shade is vibrant enough to fit perfectly into the summer months too. What do you think of the look? Check out more photos below and grab your size right now from international spots like atmos.

Author’s Take

I like the USA branding on the tongue and heel. It fits the theme. With that being said, it fits the theme so well, I don’t think I’d be able to wear them once the Olympics are over.

I like the look of the shoe and this colorway is pretty nice. It’s just that these type of high-top shoes don’t really look good on me. Damn.
