How many of you can tell me how many versions of the Nike Air Force 1 exist? While many us may not know the answer off the top of our head, whatever number you think it is, add another one to it. The Nike Air Force 1 Up Step is the latest remixed version of the basketball classic and today we get out first look at the Navy colorway of this women’s exclusive.

What makes this pair different from other AF1s? The new creation starts off with a premium leather upper that comes constructed in a brand new way. The new construction features hidden seams that end up giving the shoe more of a streamlined and sleek look. Bolstering the aesthetics of the shoe is the gum bottom outsole paired up with additioanl Navy placed on the bottom of the shoe. This women’s exclusive is slated to release later on in the Summer. Are you excited?

Author’s Take

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.

Since 1995, the Nike Air Rift has maintained its status as one of the strangest sneakers to ever come out of the Swoosh’s creative facilities in Beaverton, Oregon. The experimental design featured a neoprene slip-on upper complete with bold panels that allowed the entire forefoot to be exposed while two straps added a lockdown fit. Now NikeLab is transforming the silhouette over two decades later, getting rid of the two aforementioned noticeable traits for a new seamless wrapped construction in the NikeLab Rift Wrap for Summer 2016. The monochromatic ventilated upper sneaks in modern Swoosh placement on the toe while the heel strap remains to match the traditional outsole unit. What do you think of this summer-ready design? Check out detailed photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date right here on Sneaker News.

The Nike SB Dunk High has been going pretty wild when it comes to the patterns, prints and colorways that we’ve seen on its uppers as of late. If you’re not really into that noise, perhaps this subtle and classic motif placed on the shoe is more of your thing. Coming in the timeless Black and Gum colorway, let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

The shoe starts off with a Black suede upper. The same hue extends to the lining, leather Nike Swoosh and midsole. Creating contrast and giving the shoe that classic feel is the gum bottom outsole. If you’re feeling this look, you can now find these at select retailers for $100. Do you prefer this look on the Nike SB Dunk Highs? Or do you like going all out?

I like both subtle and extravagant looks on the SB Dunk High, but if I had to choose one, I’d probably take the subtle route. You can’t go wrong with this colorway.

Even though it’s officially listed for women, it’s still versatile enough for men as well. The only downside is limited large sizing, but the overall execution is pretty solid.
