Although it’s a signature takedown model, you can hardly tell by this premium presentation of the LeBron Ambassador 8. In fact, thanks to its white, black, and metallic gold colorway, it looks exactly like one the the ‘Elite’ models from the early days of the premium postseason series from Nike Basketball?specifically the LeBron 9 Elite in the same colorway. The high performance LeBron Ambassador 8 will be available at select Nike Basketball suppliers later this summer.

I really like the graphic upper on this pair of LunarTempo 2s. It has a real Summer/tropical vibe to it. Where the men’s colorways at though?

If you were a fan of the Nike Kobe 11 Elite 4KB that dropped earlier this year, we’re sure you’re also going to like this new colorway that has the shoe come rocking a brand new colorway. Instead of coming with a White base, this new variation comes rocking different shades of red to give the shoe a brand new look.

First look at the shoe shows that the Red Flyknit upper is accompanied by the hits of Black and White woven into the predominantly Red upper. In addition to the Flyknit construction, there is also premium leather placed on the Nike Swoosh branding, heel and tongue. The also appears to be new graphics placed on the heel tab that show a two-headed snake, daggers, and an hour glass to represent father time. No release date on the shoe yet but you can expect these to drop sometime this Summer.

English soccer club Chelsea F.C. has left adidas to sign a new apparel deal with Nike, but it didn’t come cheap.

Chelsea was currently in a 10-year 290 million pound deal with adidas that still had seven years remaining. So what did they have to do with part ways? According to Bloomberg, Chelsea paid more than 50 million euros to break the contract. Their new deal with Nike will pay as much as $87 million (60 million pounds) per year over a 10 year span that begins in 2017.

Adidas and Chelsea had been partners since 2006, and renewed their agreement for 10 years back in 2013.

The latest version of the Air Force 1 to get the OG treatment is none other than the pairs done in canvas construction. Not too long ago we gave you a first look at the shoe you see above, and now today we’re here to provide you with even more images of the Nike Air Force 1 High OG Canvas Red.

So makes this an OG version of the Air Force 1 High? Well, if you take a look at the branding you will notice that the heel branding is difference since it actually spells out “NIKE AIR“, while the Swoosh on the side panels is said to be a little fatter. The canvas upper is done in a Red hue while the off-white contrasting color is noted on the midsole, Nike Swoosh, branding, laces, ankle strap and tongue tag. Additional Red is found on the lining and outsole. Said to already be available in other countries, expect these to drop stateside in the near future. Cop? Let us know in the comments below.

Glad to see OG variations of the Air Force 1 make a return, just not this version since I really don’t mess with canvas sneakers like that.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the model’s simplistic build and I’m pretty biased towards this tonal colorway. The only downside is the lack of large sizing since it’s only offered in GS for now.

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

German label ACRONYM raised eyebrows last year with its Lunar Force 1 collaboration that featured the updated silhouette with some jaw-dropping details – namely the huge zipper that ran up the lateral side of the shoe. ACRONYM is indeed known for its utilitarian design aesthetic – heavy on zippers and durable materials. It appears that they’ve got their hands on the Air Presto, seen here with a mid-cut bootie, a zipper, and a few more updated details. Check out a closer look below and stay tuned for more info.

The Nike Air Force 1 High has seen a renaissance thanks to a number of OG colorways hitting shelves with a dedication to getting the leather and textiles right in Nike Sportswear’s remastering process of its own. The canvas constructions have been a hit too, as the alternate upper material adds a premium texture not usually found on Bruce Kilgore’s iconic model. Today we get a look at an upcoming “Gym Red” rendition featuring a vintage dose of off-white Sail throughout. Old-school Nike Air branding contrasts in black on the tongue and strap for a nice touch.

The women’s Nike Air Max BW Ultra is introduced in another vibrant colorway for Spring 2016, following three recent offerings of orange, grey and royal blue a couple of months ago.

This time flaunting gamma blue, the vivid tone is essentially prominent on the upper portion of its mesh/synthetic profile, which also flows towards the collar section and tongue. To complement the shade, pristine white adorns the Swoosh branding across its side panels, encompassing the mudguard, throughout the sole unit and gracing the inner lining, as well as its laces.

Finished off with touches of black on the frontal and rear portion of its outsole, you can purchase this colorway at select Nike retailers overseas first.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the silhouette and I like the execution on this pair. While it’s offered for females, I think it’s still versatile for males as well, although, large sizing is limited.

Ben Gordon was a Nike loyalist throughout the numerous stops during his time in the NBA and even in his collegiate career where he was one of the best guards to roll through the historic UConn pantheon before declaring for the NBA Draft in 2004. So why is Nike Sportswear releasing an upcoming Nike Air Foamposite Pro nicknamed after Gordon, a guy who was never close to becoming a signature athlete? The Varsity Royal style of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Ben Gordon” is something you’d attribute closer to some sort of Orlando Magic alternate, but this is inspired by the pair given out to Gordon during his time in college. It’s not a direct retro of a Foamposite Pro from 2001 – that release featured a black outsole instead – but this is definitely an interesting mockup of a shoe that’s already seen its fair share of royal takedowns. This Foam is slated for a release on August 26th for $230 USD. Get with us after the break for a better view at this upcoming ‘PE’ release and let us know if you’re a fan of the look by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
