Nike Basketball is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Nike Air Penny 2 by bringing back a number of classic colorways this summer. Penny’s signature line is second only to Michael Jordan’s in the pantheon of 90s basketball history, and if it weren’t for numerous injuries, who knows how many more Penny signatures there’d be. The latest colorway slated to release is a simple Orlando Magic Home rendition, one that sees a sterile white upper accented by just a few hints of the “Atlantic Blue” shade on the heel and lining. Black does most of the heavy lifting on the outsole, piping, and tongue while ‘1 Cent’ logos can be found prominently stitched on the side panels. Catch a detailed look at the latest Penny 2 retro colorway below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date in the near future.

Originally drafted by Charlotte Hornets, this latest variation of the Nike Kobe 11 reflects what could have been, as it essentially pays tribute to Kobe Bryant’s very brief stint with the team back in 1996 before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Featuring the Hornets’ signature colors respectively, white and light grey overlays are utilized for its breathable engineered mesh upper, while the theme is prominently seen on the tongue, laces, inner lining and larges Swooshes on the side panels in vibrant shades of purple and blue lagoon.

All resting atop a clean white sole unit, you can purchase this forthcoming pair at select Nike accounts on April 28th for $160.

I?ve shared before that I?m a fan of the silhouette?s design. This colorway is a nice homage and it?s pretty appealing in general. Fans of the Black Mamba should consider purchasing.

We got our first look at the Nike Kyrie 2 Team Red a couple days ago, and today we’re here to provide you with the latest images.

This latest version of the Kyrie 2 comes in an all-Team Red motif, but what really sets this version apart from past Kyrie 2 releases is the fact that it comes with a suede mid-foot strap, which is something we’ve never seen before on the model. The used of suede on the shoe ends up giving it more of a premium look and feel. Additional features include the speckling on the Team Red sole unit, and the tonal branding on the tongue, strap and heel. Set to drop April 27 for $120, is this Kyrie 2 on your radar? Let us know in the comments below.

Big fan of Team Red and I really like the way it looks on the Kyrie 2. Although Nike has not yet confirmed it, I heard these will drop in GS sizing only, which totally sucks if it ends up being true.

Although Nike hasn’t “officially” released the Nike Air More Uptempo White / Varsity Red, there are already a handful of people who have managed to get their hands on a pair.  While we wait for a wider release, today we get our latest look of the boldest colorway on Scottie Pippen (un)official shoe.

The shoe starts off with a White leather upper. The White palette is beautifully contrasted by the Varsity Red hits placed on the ‘AIR’ branding on the side panels, which happens to extend all the way to the heel region. The bottom of the ‘AIR’ letters also happen to reach the midsole region, resulting in a larger than life branding hit. Additional red hits found by way of the Nike Swoosh branding can be seen on the midsole, toe and tongue. As stated before , these are beginning to arrive at select Nike stockists, so be on the lookout if you’re aiming for a pair.  Is this better than the Black and White OG colorway? Let us know in the comments below.

Not a big fan of the silhouette, but this colorway definitely pops. The red hits really help accentuate the unique features on the shoe.

Growing up in the Los Angeles area during my entire childhood, not a day went by where I didn’t see at least one kid in my school rock a fresh pair of Cortez. The Nike Cortez may not be as well known as a Nike Air Force 1, but there’s no denying that the shoe has made a big impact in Southern California street culture. Barrios and hoods such as Watts, East Los Angeles and Compton were all well represented with the Cortez. This time around, the Cortez is going to represent one of those cities. Let’s take our first look at the Nike Cortez QS Compton.

Coming in two tonal offerings, the Cortez come in all-white or all-black rocking the nylon and leather construction. The shoe honors Compton by using the type font synonymous with the city on the branding placed on the heel as ‘1972’ is embroidered in tonal fashion. Tonal branding, laces and sole units complete the simple look of the shoe. Said to be dropping on April 29th, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

It’s dope to see one of the cities that reps the Cortez the hardest get some love from Nike. I was always around the Cortez, but I was never one to rock it. I was more of an AF1 guy. Easy pass on my end.

Nike has had a thing for transforming some of their soccer boots/cleats into lifestyle sneakers that have joined their Nike Sportswear division.

One of the most, if not the most, popular silhouettes that has made the transition is the Nike Air Footscape Magista. The high top silhouette made its debut in 2015 and features a Flyknit upper with Magista tooling. This new colorway comes draped in Deep Royal Blue across the entire upper with Black overlays. White detailing then lands on the Swoosh, midsole and outsole. Gum accents have also been added on the outsole for that lifestyle look.

You can pick up this Deep Royal colorway of the Nike Air Footscape Magista now at select Nike stockists for $200.

Author’s Take

I never thought that a soccer boot could look so clean with a few minor changes. I live the royal blue Flyknit upper on this colorway and the gum outsole. I just wish it wasn’t $200.
