In honor of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1‘s 20th anniversary and the classic ?Griffey for President? advertising campaign, the silhouette has been treated in a special colorway that emits the political stance with a patriotic vibe.

Dressed in midnight navy across its nubuck upper, team red adorn the laces and visible full-length sole unit, while a white midsole and gum outsole rounds out the overall profile. The theme is further evident with a modernized ?Griffey for President? campaign button on the heels, in addition to stars and stripes pull tabs.

Retailing for $160, you can purchase a pair at select Nike accounts on Tuesday, June 28th.

I’m a fan of retro sneakers and this silhouette is one of them. I bought the emerald-colored pair years ago and this colorway is another solid option. Plus the theme is cool.

To follow-up on a sneak peek that was showcased yesterday, Louis Vuitton?s artistic director, Kim Jones, and his collaboration with NikeLab is given another preview, as it debuted today at LV’s fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

Featuring the Kim Jones x NikeLab Air Zoom LWP, the silhouette is noted to be a modernized iteration of its 1995 counterpart, which is actually the first running shoe to incorporate Zoom Air technology. This interpretation, however, incorporates a sleek upper that takes cues from the Air Zoom LWP.

Dipped in a predominantly white finish with beige accents on the rear, you can expect to find this pair and the entire collaboration at select NikeLab stockists in July.

Stay tuned for further updates.

The modern take looks solid but I guess I’m just biased since I’m into runners. This colorway is obviously appealing and stylish. I wonder if there will be other neutral colorways.

Following the Nike Kobe 11 Sunset, Bryant’s last on-court sneaker is set to be offered in another colorway this season.

While the silhouette has been crafted in engineered mesh and flyknit, this pair, however, seems to be composed of a textile material which is defined by a vibrant graphic that’s somewhat reminiscent of the “3D” Kobe 6.

Finished off with a slightly translucent white sole unit, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for the availability of this forthcoming pair.

I’m actually a little creeped out with the pattern. I’m not a fan of it, but, I do like the silhouette overall.

Penny Hardaway?s signature Nike Zoom Flight 96 in its classic Olympic colorway will be returning this season to perfectly coordinate with the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Essentially celebrating its 20th anniversary, the model was first introduced the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. Treated in the navy and white across its leather upper and rugged sole unit, the model’s overall build is finished off with a translucent outsole. Finally, a notable detail includes Penny Hardaway?s #6 stitched on the heel.

Retailing for $130, you can find it at select Nike retailers on July 7th.

I like this model. I?m just a big fan of retro bball sneakers. This pair is a classic and it should garner the attention it deserves.

1990’s basketball sneaker nerds have much to be delighted about this summer, as at least three of Nike’s best Olympics colorways of the ’92 and ’96 summer games are making a comeback. Charles Barkley’s Dream Team version of the Air Force 180? Check. Scottie Pippen’s even bolder Olympic colorway of the Air More Uptempo? You bet. And completing the trifecta of memorable Olympic retros (that we know about so far, anyway) is a reproduction of Penny Hardaway’s PE version the Zoom Flight ’96. Switching from his Air Penny 1 to the Zoom Flight for the 1996 summer games, Penny helped Team USA secure another gold medal in this white and navy version similar to the general release colorway, just with Penny’s Olympic #6 stitched in gold on each heel. Get your best look yet at the shoe in case you need convincing to pick up a pair, and find them at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Solefly beginning July 7, 2016.

You can’t forget about the ladies, right? Nike is also going to release exclusive women’s colorways of the Nike Kwazi. Opting to differentiate themselves from the men’s offerings, the Nike Kwazi ditches the tonal look and comes in a two-toned color scheme.

Our first look shows that the shoe appear to remain true to form. In other words, the construction, build and materials used on the women’s version is the same as the mens. The only difference (and it’s a big one) is that fact that the shoe does not come in a tonal colorway. The men have the choice of Red, Black and Blue. The first women’s colorway comes in Black and White. The use of two colorways gives the shoe a brand new look since the sharp contrast helps break up the upper from the sole. Ladies, are you feeling the new look on your Nike Kwazi? Expect these to drop sometime in the near future.

It’s too generic looking for me. Not really a fan of the long tongue and the large midsole kind of gives is a basketball shoe feel. Easy pass on my end.

If you weren’t able to create your own pair of Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10s on NIKEiD yesterday don’t worry because the next best colorway has just arrived on Nike.

Worn by LeBron James in the majority of the NBA Finals including the thrilling game 7 victory, this LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 features a full black upper with a gum outsole serving as a beautiful contrast. The Zoom Soldier 10 eliminates the use of laces and replaces them with three velcro straps from the toe to the collar. This Black Gum colorway has just been made available via Nike SNKRS and retails for $140. Will you cop a pair?

Author’s Take

Aside from the championship colorway that features a gold Swoosh, this one of the better pairs in my opinion. That black upper with the gum bottom is such a clean combination.

Last year Nike decided to give the iconic Nike Air Force 1 the remastered treatment and redesign the sneaker with premium materials and a look that was more true to the original.

A handful of colorways have already released with only one problem, the majority of them have been high-tops. Now with Summer in full swing Nike will be releasing the OG Air Force 1 in low-top form. One of those colorways that will be releasing is this White/Game Royal colorway which sees the majority of the upper dressed in a premium white leather upper with Game Royal accents covering the Swoosh, inner liner, heel tab, outsole, and the tongue branding.

Already beginning to arrive at select shops overseas, you can expect this OG Air Force 1 to arrive at stateside retailers real soon.

It was about time Nike released the low-top version of the remastered Air Force 1. This colorway is super clean and I just may add it to my collection if I can get it below retail.

Foamposite fans will be going in a frenzy this weekend as we’ll see the release of the Nike Air Foamposite One Wu-Tang Optic Yellow.

This Nike sneaker which will surely be one of the loudest releases all year takes the classic basketball silhouette and covers the entire foam shell upper in bright Optic Yellow. More yellow hits can then be seen on the branding on the heel, tongue, and toe. Next we see contrasting touches of Black on the tongue, laces, eyestay, ankle, inner liner, heel and the outsole.

Who plans on picking up a pair this Friday for $230? Let us know in the comments below and head over to our official Nike Air Foamposite One Wu-Tang (Optic Yellow) launch page now for additional images, videos and release details.

Any time I see a black and yellow sneaker it immediately captures my attention. I?m not a fan of the Foamposite silhouette but I have to admit that this is a clean colorway. There?s no way I would spend $230 on this shoe though.

Aside from the Concord colorway, another colorway set to help re-introduce the Nike Air Max 96 is the White/Navy-Neon pair you see above. It’s been 20 years since the shoe made its debut, and now its set to return better than ever.

From the outside looking in, the shoe appears to remain the same when it comes to aesthetic. Although that may be the case, once you put them on, you will be able to feel a difference. Nike has improved the shoe by placing an Ultra sole unit on it. This new feature makes the shoe overall lighter and more comfortable that the original version. That’s definitely an improvement no matter how you see it. The Neon hits on the sole and branding definitely give the shoe some nice pop for the Summer. Are you happt to see this model back? Stay tuned to find out when when we will be able to get our hands on a pair.

Author’s Take

I wasn’t into shoe 20 years ago, but after the shoe thoroughly, I can see myself wearing a pair. The fact that it comes with an Ultra sole makes the shoe even more attractive. I dig it.

Another Nike Kwazi set to release in the near future is the Midnight Navy offering you see above. The inaugural colorways of the model all rock a tonal look and this pair is no different. If Navy sneakers are your thing, take a look at these.

This lifestyle Nike sneaker comes constructed out of a mesh upper. The mesh is paired up with a forefoot leather strap to help give the shoe some added dimension. The strap is attached to the leather heel counter which happens to house some Nike branding. Additional branding is placed on the tongue and abnormally large midsole. More of the same Navy hue is found on the sole unit, laces and lining to complete the monochromatic look. Out internationally, it shouldn’t be that much long before they appear stateside.

The Nike Kwazi is getting to release in a trio of tonal colorways. From the three colorways that we’ve seen, there’s no doubt that the Action Red hue you see above is boldest and brightest of them all.

The Kwazi is labeled as a lifestyle shoe, and it’s pretty easy to see why. The mesh upper is accompanied by the forefoot leather strap that’s connected to the leather heel housing the Nike branding. The rear portion of the midsole is heightened, as is the tongue. Action Red is also placed on the sole, lining and laces to round out the look of the shoe. Like what you see? Available internationally, we will let you know once these arrive stateside.

Celebrating its 20 year anniversary, Nike has decided to bring back the Nike Air Max 96. While the shoe may look the same as it did 20 years ago, Nike did some retooling to improve the shoe when it comes to the comfort department.

One of the first colorways set to release is the Concord colorway you see above. Black, Grey, White and Concord accents cover up the shoe’s complex upper. The improvement on the shoe lies on the tooling of the sole unit. The 2016 version of the Air Max 96 will come with an Ultra sole, which makes the shoe lighter and more comfortable than ever before. Were you a fan of the shoe 20 years ago? If so, there’s no doubt you’re going to love this new an improved version. Stay tuned to find out when Nike will be releasing these.

With the race for the next President of the United States heating up, Nike is getting ready to release the perfect colorway of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1.

This new colorway of Ken Griffey’s signature sneaker with Nike features a Midnight Navy nubuck upper that dominates most of the shoe. Team Red accents have then been added on the laces, and the branding on the strap and heel. Completing the patriotic theme are hits of white on the midsole,and the “24” branding and the Griffey patch on the heel. A gold Swoosh and gum outsole have been added to give a nice pop to this colorway of the Griffey Max 1 that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the silhouette.

Check out the official photos and look for these Griffeys to release later this Summer.

There’s been a couple of colorways of the Air Girffey Max 1 that I’ve “kind of” liked. But this pair is the best one yet. The combination of Midnight Navy and Team Red looks so good together. I just wish there was more Team Red on the shoe. Oh, and that gum sole is money too!
