This weekend we’ll be seeing the release of a new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11.

By now it has finally set in and we have come to terms with Kobe Bryant retiring from the NBA. Well at least some us have. As Kobe walks off into the sunset (says goodbye to the NBA), Nike will be releasing a special colorway of the Kobe 11 to represent Kobe’s career coming to an end. The Nike Kobe 11 Sunset features a gradient upper done in engineered mesh that includes Total Crimson, Hyper Violet, and University Gold which draws inspiration from the Los Angeles skies at dusk. Black accents have then been added on the Swoosh, tongue, laces, inner liner and the translucent outsole.

You’ll be able to find the Kobe 11 Sunset at select Nike retailers on June 18, 2016 for a retail price of $160.

I?ve seen a few different shoes that are meant to resemble a sunset, but this is probably the best one so far. Dope colorway of the Kobe 11 for the Summer.

Over the last week or so we’ve seen lots of the new Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 ever since LeBron James decided to debut the sneaker during the NBA Finals.

After giving you a closer look at the black/red colorway earlier today, we now take a look at a colorway that matches up perfectly with the upcoming 4th of July holiday. This LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 features a blue mesh upper with red detailing on the two bottoms strap, and the Nike and LeBron branding. Finishing up the patriotic look is white on the upper strap, Swoosh and outsole.

Get a first look above and look for the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 USA to release on July 4, 2016.

The more I see the Zoom Soldier 10 which is odd because I’m usually not the type who like sneakers without laces and this many strap. This USA colorway is pretty clean. I think it should have had more red though.

Where Nike has every other brand beat is in the Retro category. While NMDs and Currys are outselling Nike’s newer offerings, when it comes to the old-school game, Nike’s dominance is clear. Without any sort of marketing push, shoes like the Air More Uptempo can appear in stores and sell out just as quickly as the hyped Ultra Boosts or the Fire Currys, and those who grew up in the 90s still have a ton of disposable income for whatever else Nike is dropping next (the Spiridons and Talarias are a great example). As you already know, the OG Black/White colorway has already released in stores as did the white/red colorway, but soon to come is the clean white/gum version and in the unforgettable “Olympics” pair that Scottie wore during the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Stay tuned for the release of the latter two and let us know if you feel the Air More Uptempo is the best Retro sneaker of 2016.

We recently got an on-feet look at the upcoming Nike Zoom Spiridon, now we get a closer and more detailed look at the upcoming Europe exclusive release. Nike’s decision to bring back the retro runner has many people pretty excited about it, so it’s a shame that the model won’t b dropping in the U.S..

Being retroed for the second time since its inaugural release back in 1997, the first colorway of the shoe will keep it’s OG aesthetic as a Silver, Black and Red color scheme take care of the shoes upper. A White midsole and Black outsole complete the lower half of the shoe. Without a doubt the Metallic Red Swoosh on the side panels is the model’s most notable feature. Set to release tomorrow exclusively in Europe, we will be sure to let you know if these happen to arrive stateside anytime in the near future.

Wasn’t really into shoes 20 years ago and I have no recollection of this model. It’s dope to see the shoe make a comeback, but I have no interest in picking it up, even if it dropped in the U.S.

Tinker Hatfield’s 1987 classic Nike Air Max 1 will always be a profound sneaker simply because of the innovation that occurred when introducing visible air. Since then, the model has been updated and remixed countless times at the hands of Lunarlon, Vac-tech, Engineered Mesh, and much more to bring the retro runner up to speed with the modern times. Now Nike Sportswear is proud to present the Nike Air Max 1 CX, a pair that sports a color-changing upper thanks to a sun-sensitive design that transforms the off-white mudguard and Swoosh into the original “Varsity Blue” shade. The unique design creates a gradient until the sun has overtaken the entirety of the upper for a complex aesthetic fit for any occasion. This color-changing Air Max 1 will be available Friday, June 17th via Nike SNKRS for $140 USD. More photos below.

2008 was an important year for Nike Basketball thanks to the introduction of the flagship Nike Hyperdunk line. The model boasted a new Flywire construction that’s become a staple for performance models to this day throughout the Swoosh’s major categories and was a go-to during the Redeem Team’s 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medal run. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a decade since the Hyperdunk line first dropped, and Nike Sportswear is honoring the occasion with a true and through retro slate with a number of monochromatic colorways and this new lifestyle-inclined Nike Hyperdunk Lux. The luxurious take features a woven upper, embossed Swoosh branding, Dynamic Flywire, and a patent leather mudguard for a unique twist. Two colorways are going to be available in the near future ranging from a simple Black/White and an UNDFTD-esque White/Gum. Check out detailed photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date right here on Sneaker News.
