The classic Nike Air Presto Olympic is scheduled to make a return once again this year to perfectly coincide with Summer 2016 Olympics, which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Last seen in the Sydney games back in 2000, the model essentially utilizes a USA theme. Sporting patriotic colors, a mixture of white and navy is predominant across the upper, while a circular graphic encompasses throughout the component for distinctive flair.

All resting atop a red/white/blue rubber sole unit, the sneaker is finished off with its distinctive TPU lacing system and heel support.

Finished off with a ?USA? embroidery on the tongue and bright red Swooshes on the toe box and midsole, the sneaker is suggested to debut at Nike retailers on July 4th.

Stay tuned for additional updates.

I?m a fan of the silhouette overall. The theme and execution is a nice homage. Although, I?m not really inclined on purchasing this pair.

So the Cleveland Cavaliers destroyed the Toronto Raptors. Again. Even though both Game 2s of the Conference Finals ended up being blowout victories, the difference was that you expected the Oklahoma City Thunder to come back firing at some point and possibly even beating the Golden State Warriors. There’s no such hope for DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and the rest of the Raptors. Unless Drake becomes the epic courtside troll that we all know he can be in Toronto for Games 3 and 4 and manages to throw the Cavs off their game, the Raptors are going fishing by early next week.

And with that in mind, we have to keep ourselves amused at the KoF Offices by finding other things to talk about, such as the Ky-Rispy Kreme 2 iDs  that Kyrie Irving wore last night in the Cavs’ victory. The much-hyped NIKEiD pair helped Uncle Drew score 26 points. For more Ky-Rispy Kreme goodness, check out our Fun With NIKEiD post where we change up the Ky-Rispy colorways.

As the collaboration suggests, the basketball sneaker has been tweaked with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment graphic gracing the mid-foot strap that crosses the medial side of the foot which offers superb lockdown and support.

Boasting a sock-like fit, the models are equipped with Zoom Air units throughout the heel and forefoot, as it all rests atop a clean, white Phylon midsole.

I like the minimalist style of the profile. It?s a bit too tall/bulky for my taste, but it looks nice in either colorway.

The Nike Air Max 1 Royal is treated in two new vibrant colorways this season, which follows on the recent black and vachetta tan offerings that debuted back in March 2016.

This time rendered in red and blue, the popular runner is essentially revamped with a premium build, as a hairy suede-like exterior is utilized for its distinctive makeup. Further detailed with tonal accents throughout to pronounce its recognizable design, the model is topped off by a leather-welded heel wrap to serve as a stabilizer.

Additionally accentuated with more leather detailing on the heel counter, both sneakers are adhered atop a clean white phylon sole unit for a nice sense of contrast.

You can purchase your favorite pair at select Nike retailers starting on May 26.

For the most part, the Nike Air Pegasus ?83 is known as a casual looking sneaker made out of materials such as mesh and suede. Seeing it dressed in an all-premium leather upper is something we’re not really used to seeing. If you’re wondering a shoe like that would look like, take a look at these two premium versions of the classic Nike runner.

Coming in an all-black leather upper or all-tan leather upper, the shoes are complimented by a set of tonal laces equipped with gold colored laced tips. Laser cut perforations are placed on the toe and side panels to provide the shoe with some breathability. Embossed branding is placed on the tongue, White lining, a White midsole and tonal outsole complete the look of the shoe. Available at select retailers such as BSTN, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair in the comments below.

Not used to seeing the model in the light, but I really like what I see, especially on the tan-colored version. Really clean.

One is already available, the other will be beginning tomorrow. The Nike Sock Dart coming in Racer Blue and Total Crimson are two of the more bolder offerings placed on the Summer-appropriate model. Don’t know which pair to pick up? Perhaps these on-feet images will help you make your decision.

Coming in tonal uppers, the shoes are constructed out of knitted uppers that provide plenty of elasticity and breathability, both which are features vital for a Spring/Summer sneaker. The perforated mid-foot strap goes along with the tonal look, while also providing a lockdown fit. Both models sit on top of a clean white midsole unit with subtle speckles of black to complete the main traits on the shoe. While the Racer Blue colorway is already available, you will be able to purchase the Total Crimson colorway at select overseas Nike retailers such as BSTN starting tomorrow, Friday, May 20th for $120

Both are clean for the Spring. I don’t own any Sock Darts, but I wouldn’t mind picking these up.

This Summer, the ladies are getting a brand new version of the classic Nike Air Force 1. So, what makes it different? If you pay close attention to the shoe you will see that the uppers construction hides the seams that holds the shoe together. Coming in a Grey and gum colorway, let’s check out the official images.

The premium leather upper comes dressed in a tonal Grey colorway. The Grey extends on to the laces, leather tag on the tongue, midsole and Nike Swoosh. If you take a look at the heel, you will see that the Nike branding has been removed in an effort to provide a cleaner aesthetic. Rounding out the look of the shoe is the Gum outsole and Grey bottom. Is this the best colorway on this new model? Dropping this Summer, let us know what you think about the Nike Air Force 1 Up Step.

I like the tonal look. I like the leather used. I like the gum bottom outsole. It’d be cool if these were to drop in men’s sizes. While everything looks good, I really don’t like the comfort level an AF1 provides. Put these on a corked out sole unit and I’m all over them. Until then, I’ll just admire them from afar.

One of the last times that we saw a new colorway of the Nike LeBron Ambassador 8 it had some South Beach vibes all over it. But LeBron has officially moved away from Miami and is now back home in Cleveland trying to win a championship for “The Land.”

As LeBron chases his 3rd NBA Championship, Nike has just unveiled a new colorway of the Ambassador 8 that looks like a lot like the Elite colorways of past LeBron models like the 9, 10 and even the 13 that released earlier this month. The combination of white, gold and black gives a premium look to any sneaker its placed on and this one is no different.

What are your thoughts on this fancy colorway of the Nike LeBron Ambassador 8?

This colorway definitely reminds me of past LeBron elite releases. Not sure if that’s a good thing because this isn’t even LeBron’s signature shoe.

I’ve never owned a pair of the Nike Cortez but I’ll admit that this colorway caught my attention because it’s hard not to like a black and gold sneaker. I still don’t plan on copping though.

So what makes the Nike Air Force 1 Up Step a remixed version of the original Nike Air Force 1? If you take a close look at the construction of the leather upper, you will find that all of the seams of the shoe are hidden! One of the colorways helping debut this new AF1 has the shoe rocking the classic Black and Gum look.

The shoe starts off with a premium Black leather upper, with of course the seams hidden in the construction. The Black extends to the Nike Swoosh, lining, laces and the leather tag on the tongue. Creating some contrast is the gum bottom outsole paired up with the tonal Black bottom. Fellas, you’re going to have to take a seat on this one because Nike is only releasing these in women sizing, at least for now. Slated to drop during the Summer, what do you think?

With Summer right around the corner, everyone is looking for ways to keep cool, especially your feet. While the Nike Cortez may be considered a classic Nike silhouette, it may not be the best option if you’re looking for something light and breathable. Enter the Nike Cortez Ultra Breathe.

This remixed version of the Cortez gets a modern upgrade by replacing the traditional upper with a lighter ventilated mesh construction. This new look results in a lighter, breathable and more comfortable feel. Coming in Grey, Black and Royal Blue, all three pairs are accompanied by White hits placed on the lining, midsle and heel tab. It’s a classic with a modern twist. Said to be dropping in the near future, are you looking forward to this release?

I’d probably never buy a Cortez made out of leather or nylon, but this one I can mess with. It looks clean and fresh.
