Utilizing a smooth nubuck all throughout the upper, this Air Footscape Woven eliminates the use of a perforated upper. The color options include light blue, tan and navy, all with special woven detailing that runs down the side panels, and on the lacing system. All three pairs are also contrasted by a white Motion sole unit that features Free-like technology.
Check out all three upcoming colorways and give us your thoughts in the comments below.
I’ve never tried on a pair of these before but since I have wide feet I don’t think they would be too comfortable on my feet. Plus I’m not the fan of the woven detailing either.

The Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Will Release In Low-Top Form
By SoleInsider
The Nike LunarEpic Flyknit is one of Nike’s newest runners which uses some of their best technology including a full Flyknit upper and a Lunarlon midsole for a smooth ride.
One of the only downsides of the sneaker which some people can’t really wrap their head around is the mid-height collar that gives the shoe a soccer boot look. If that was holding you back from buying a pair then you’ll be happy to hear that a low-top version without the ankle collar will be releasing very soon. The design is completely the same as the original, the only difference is that there is no more collar and thus looks more like a classic runner.
At the moment the Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Low is expected to release on June 30 in three different colorways. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.
In my opinion the shoe looks much better without the Flyknit collar. That’s one thing that Nike has been doing lately that I’m just not a huge fan of. This low-top version looks much better.

I love pizza but unfortunately I don?t love Janoskis. I?m a fan of the way they look but they?re just not comfortable on my feet. This is a delicious colorway though.

LeBron James will be playing in a “win or go home” game tonight as the Cleveland Cavaliers have their backs up against the wall being down 3 games to 1 in the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
As both teams were getting up some shots during practice yesterday, LeBron James was spotted wearing some interesting kicks. James was seen rocking the all-black colorway from the recent Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 collaboration that released a couple of months back. He even had some time to snap a quick picture with one of his young fans. Also check out that vintage Undetaker shirt. Fire!
Do you think LeBron and the Cavs will beat the Draymond Green-less Warriors tonight or will the Dubs repeat as champs?
The Nike Dunk High has returned to its college basketball roots this year, releasing a number of original colorways found in the “Be True To Your School” Collection. Programs like UNLV and Michigan have already seen their school spirit drenched in vibrant accents on the iconic basketball turned lifestyle model.

A simple white upper sees alternating panels of Team Orange while a remastered premium leather takes things back to the quality and attention to detail found in the original. This pair last released back in 2005 featuring hits of suede to honor the Dunk’s 20th anniversary, but what do you think of the all leather variety? Stay tuned for a stateside release date in the near future and let us know if you’re a fan of this Dunk retro by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
There’s a battle brewing in the Pacific Northwest, and we’re not talking about Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Pete Carroll, the unofficial spokesman for #TeamMonarch, took to Twitter to pin his Air Monarch PEs against the butt of sneaker jokes this past weekend – the Under Armour Curry 2 Lows. As you already know, Steph was quick to defend the shoes, calling them “fire”. That opinion can be debatable, but the verdict of Monarch vs. Curry will be revealed soon – all you need to do is vote on Pete Carroll’s Twitter poll below. Our vote? #TeamMonarch.

Nike Air Command Forces Inspired By The Nike Air Yeezy
By SoleInsider
If you hear anybody mention or talk about Yeezys these days they’re most likely referring to the adidas Yeezy Boost. It could be either the 350 or the 750, or any other upcoming Yeezy Boost.
But the term/name Yeezy really erupted when Kanye West was with Nike and he designed the Nike Air Yeezy and Nike Air Yeezy 2. All of the colorways that released from those two sneakers were so popular that you never stop seeing people create customs inspired by those colorways. Mache Customs recently took the “Net” colorway from the Nike Air Yeezy and placed it on the Nike Air Command Force. As you can see, the leather upper features a couple of different shades of tan while pink, white and black complete the look. For good measure Mache also added glow-in-the-dark accents.
What are your thoughts on this Nike Air Yeezy-inspired Air Command Force? Are you diggin’ the colorway? Let us know in the comments below.
Nike To Collaborate With Louis Vuitton Designer Kim Jones
By SoleInsider
As part of the brand’s effort the elevate sport style into a luxury category, Nike is going tapping the talents of notable heavyweights of high fashion. Today, we’re learning of an upcoming project between the Swoosh and Louis Vuitton men’s style director Kim Jones, who has been with LV since 2011. The collaboration will likely entail a collection of footwear, much like what Nike’s partnerships with Riccardo Tisci, Olivier Rousteing, Sacai, and other prominent creatives designers have produced. Expect a release on July 17th.
Introducing the Nike Air Presto Slip-On. It was only a matter of time before the Swoosh remixed the Nike Presto to carry its own without the unique supportive cage overlay. The early 2000s retro has been transformed by Flyknit technology earlier this year, but here that breathable bolstered mesh construction is the perfect pairing with the traditional neoprene toe. And yes, the Presto has always technically been a slip-on model, but it’s made that much more obvious by the lack of laces. What do you think of the model? Check out an alternate colorway of the Nike Presto Slip-On below and stay tuned for a stateside release in Fall 2016.
This Nike Zoom All Out Flyknit Is Versatile For The Season
By SoleInsider
The newly-introduced Nike Zoom All Out Flyknit has released in its inaugural colorways this season, as we provide you with another perspective of its black/grey colorway.
Essentially defined by its intricately knitted upper, the shoe also sports an extended sock design on the ankle to promote a more comfortable and secured fit. Offsetting its understated color scheme consists of pink gracing the flywire and a volt-colored sole unit.
Retailing for $200, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers worldwide now.
I like the colorway and construction overall, but the silhouette looks too bulky for my taste. It?s a solid offering though, and it should get some attention.
