The 2016 variation of the Nike Air Force 180 Olympic will be making its debut this summer, as the silhouette is noted as Charles Barkley’s pair that he wore during the 1992 Dream Team at Barcelona, Spain and the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

Last issued in 2012, the sneaker will commemorate Team USA once again, during this year’s Summer games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Essentially maintaining its iconic design and colorway intact, the basketball sneaker is comprised of a mixture of leather and nubuck in dominating tones of white and obsidian, followed by accents of red and gold directed at the heel and tongue.

You can find this pair at select Nike accounts starting July 7th.

I’m a fan of this classic model and I purchased it back in 2012. I’m just biased towards the theme and this is a solid retro overall.

The 1992 Olympics were known for some of the most iconic sneakers in basketball history. Perhaps the most recognizable is the Air Force 180 worn by Charles Barkley, a prominent member of that record-breaking squad. This Olympic-themed colorway has re-released several times over, with the most recent being in 2012 for the 20th Anniversary of the Dream Team, but it looks like Nike is re-living the moment once again thanks a July 7th release. Check out official images of the shoes below and stay tuned for more Olympic-themed sneakers to release beginning in July.

Last seen in various blues, another colorway of the Nike Air Max 95 is highlighted this season, as it flaunts a timeless hue of all-white.

Composed of its traditional leather, mesh and synthetic composition, the pristine tone essentially drapes the composition, while subtle Grey detailing is evident on the tongue, eye stays, and miniature Swooshes on the heel for a nice touch of contrast.

Finished off with a matching full-length sole unit and black outsole, you can purchase this pair at select Nike accounts worldwide now.

You can’t go wrong with this pair. This variation is pretty appealing and I’m pretty biased overall. The only downside is keeping it clean constantly.

Previously showcasing its upcoming Obsidian colorway in closer detail, an overview of the Nike Roshe Waffle Racer NM in a variety of finishes is revealed, as they’re all scheduled to drop in July.

Featuring a combination of two-tone iterations that consist of royal blue/maize, white/black, red/black, light blue/white, black/white, dark green/volt and grey/black — the silhouette is essentially a blend of the iconic Waffle Racer that first debuted in 1974 and the popular Roshe.

Maintaining its runner profile intact, you can find these offerings at select Nike accounts starting July, for a price tag of $125 each.

I?m always a fan of runners and I like how the blend of these two designs came out. I?m just biased I guess. These colorways are pretty solid and versatile as well.

It looks like Nike will be adding a few more colorways to their Nike Dunk High Be True To Tour School Collection.

After seeing the Kentucky, UNLV, Michigan and St. John’s colorways already release this year, we’ll be able to add a couple more schools to the list. Syracuse will be once again releasing their pair which comes in white and orange as well as Arizona which features a navy and white color scheme.

No release date is available yet but peep the images that show the two upcoming releases along with a black Bruin and a new Nike runner. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

All of the Nike Dunks from the Be True have come with some amazing quality so it’s cool to see more colorways releasing.

First it was Nike. Then it was adidas. Now it’s Nike, again. What’s it going to be Ben?! Potential #1 NBA Draft Pick, Ben Simmons has yet to decide what shoe deal he is going to sign. Will it be with Nike? Or will it be with adidas? The latest news suggest that he will soon be a part of the Nike family.

Shams Charania at The Vertical reports that Simmons is close to signing a multi year endorsement deal with Nike. It was also reported that Nike had to give Simmons more money than what they expected and more money that what they usually tend to give an upcoming NBA rookie in order for him to sign with them. Do you believe the latest reports or do you think Simmons will take his talents to the Three Stripes?

Nike has done it again. The Swoosh has just locked up what is expected to be the #1 overall pick in the upcoming 2016 NBA Draft, Ben Simmons.

Simmons played for LSU this past year and is expected to be drafted #1 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers. After hearing offers from both adidas and Nike, Simmons has decided that he’ll join LeBron, KD and Kyrie at Nike in what is being reported as a multiyear deal. There is no specifics on how much the deal is worth yet, but is is believed to be one of the largest rookie deals for Nike.

Do you think we’ll see a Ben Simmons signature sneaker in the future?

Another new version of the Nike Air Force 1 High has surfaced, and this one appears to be a great option for the hot seasons. The Nike Air Force 1 High Perforated Pack transforms the high-top sneaker into a pair of high-tops you won’t mind wearing during this Summer.

While the shoe still comes constructed out of a leather upper, the change lies in the micro-perforations added to the entire upper of the shoe. Another feature we are barely able to see from this angle is the use of a basketball logo placed on the heel region. Two toned looks make up the shoes you see above as Univeristy Red / White, Black / White and White /Black colorways create the motifs of the shoes. Thoughts on the new look? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I usually don’t wear Nike Air Force 1 Highs during the Summer. Instead of getting a pair with micro-perforations, I’d rather pick up the low-top version.

The Nike Air Rift is one of the most unorthodox sneakers in the history of kicks. Thanks to the split-toed sandal-like design and the large portion of your foot that is visible on the upper, people have either learned to love or hate it. There’s really no in-between.

For those of you that are fans of the Air Rift, you might be interested to know that Nike has created a new and improved version of the sandal sneaker with the Nike Air Rift Breathe. The Air Rift Breathe is now made up of environmentally friendly mesh with an extra-large perforation pattern for a cooling Summer style.

Ladies and men can look for a variety of colorways of the Nike Air Rift Breathe to release on June 9th for $100.

I could care less what materials are used on the shoe. I think it’s ugly no matter the color or materials. But to each his own.

it’s official: Ben Simmons, the LSU standout and projected number one overall pick in the upcoming 2016 NBA draft, is signing with Nike. Terms of the agreement haven’t been disclosed, but it’s clear that Nike had to pony up more than they are typically comfortable with giving a rookie, regardless of the promising future. Nike and adidas were engaged in a bidding war for quite some time, with Simmons appearing in public in adidas gear, but it was presumed that Simmons was Nike’s to lose as they were always the frontrunner given the young star’s affiliation with Klutch Sports Group. Will Simmons get his own signature shoe? All signs point to yes.

We already got a first look at the Nike Hyperdunk 2016, now we put our focus on the upcoming Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Low. While many of the features appear to remain the same, the only obvious alteration is the cut of the shoe.

This version of the low-top Hyperdunk comes in a mesh constructed upper paired up with Flywire for additional stability and support. The sole unit will come with Zoom units on the heel and forefoot region. Black uppers appear on all three univeiled colorways, while Blue, Red and Yellow act as the accented colorway. No other information has been provided but stay tuned as I’m sure images and tech specs are right around the corner.

Author’s Take

I usually opt to go with a low-top sneaker opposed to a high top, but I actually like the high-top version more when it comes to this model, especially the Flyknit version.

Blurring the lines more than ever before between a high performance running shoe and a stylish casual sneaker, the innovative Nike Zoom All Out Flyknit is ready to impress both the running and fashion camps when it drops later this month. The running shoe featuring a mid-top Flyknit upper and full-length visible Zoom Air gets its most stylish look we’ve seen yet, with this all black edition featuring solid black Flyknit with reflective Swooshes. While the upper is nothing but black, the visible Zoom is highlighted with Volt and a clear outsole so everybody knows what’s going on under the hood. Preview the “Triple Black” Zoom All Out Flyknit here, and expect all launch colorways of the anticipated shoe to release at Nike.com and select Nike Running retailers very soon.

On April 13, 2016, Kobe Bryant played his final NBA game and scored 60 points in a virtuoso performance because of course he did; he was going to try and top every final game by a superstar athlete ever and amazingly enough, he succeeded. Meanwhile, sneakerheads on that same day flooded Staples Center’s Nike Vault for a shot at the Black Mamba Pack and NIKEiD to order the limited edition Mamba Day graphic. One of the fastest – if not the fastest – selling NIKEiD options ever offered, demand for the Mamba Day graphic was so great that the wait time went from the usual 30 days or less to 2-3 months. When I placed my order, the original estimate was sometime in July.

Well, at least it was going to arrive right around my birthday, right?

Imagine my surprise when the kicks arrived today weeks ahead of schedule. We unboxed the package live on our Facebook page and the reaction ranged from sadness over not getting them to others still waiting for their pair to arrive. Glad I got mine, I guess…

After wearing the Nike Air Zoom Generation Rookie Of The Year during practice for Game 1 and an all-red Nike Zoom LeBron 4 PE during practice for Game 2, today LeBron was spotted wearing the Nike Zoom LeBron 3 in an alternate All Star PE colorway.

This isn’t the first time that LeBron brings out this specific pair as he also wore it against the Boston Celtics back in April. This LeBron 3 features a white upper with grey/silver detailing throughout.
