The Nike Air Max 1 Royal is treated in two new vibrant colorways this season, which follows on the recent black and vachetta tan offerings that debuted back in March 2016.

This time rendered in red and blue, the popular runner is essentially revamped with a premium build, as a hairy suede-like exterior is utilized for its distinctive makeup. Further detailed with tonal accents throughout to pronounce its recognizable design, the model is topped off by a leather-welded heel wrap to serve as a stabilizer.

Additionally accentuated with more leather detailing on the heel counter, both sneakers are adhered atop a clean white phylon sole unit for a nice sense of contrast.

You can purchase your favorite pair at select Nike retailers starting on May 26.

For the most part, the Nike Air Pegasus ?83 is known as a casual looking sneaker made out of materials such as mesh and suede. Seeing it dressed in an all-premium leather upper is something we’re not really used to seeing. If you’re wondering a shoe like that would look like, take a look at these two premium versions of the classic Nike runner.

Coming in an all-black leather upper or all-tan leather upper, the shoes are complimented by a set of tonal laces equipped with gold colored laced tips. Laser cut perforations are placed on the toe and side panels to provide the shoe with some breathability. Embossed branding is placed on the tongue, White lining, a White midsole and tonal outsole complete the look of the shoe. Available at select retailers such as BSTN, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair in the comments below.

One is already available, the other will be beginning tomorrow. The Nike Sock Dart coming in Racer Blue and Total Crimson are two of the more bolder offerings placed on the Summer-appropriate model. Don’t know which pair to pick up? Perhaps these on-feet images will help you make your decision.

Coming in tonal uppers, the shoes are constructed out of knitted uppers that provide plenty of elasticity and breathability, both which are features vital for a Spring/Summer sneaker. The perforated mid-foot strap goes along with the tonal look, while also providing a lockdown fit. Both models sit on top of a clean white midsole unit with subtle speckles of black to complete the main traits on the shoe. While the Racer Blue colorway is already available, you will be able to purchase the Total Crimson colorway at select overseas Nike retailers such as BSTN starting tomorrow, Friday, May 20th for $120

This Summer, the ladies are getting a brand new version of the classic Nike Air Force 1. So, what makes it different? If you pay close attention to the shoe you will see that the uppers construction hides the seams that holds the shoe together. Coming in a Grey and gum colorway, let’s check out the official images.

The premium leather upper comes dressed in a tonal Grey colorway. The Grey extends on to the laces, leather tag on the tongue, midsole and Nike Swoosh. If you take a look at the heel, you will see that the Nike branding has been removed in an effort to provide a cleaner aesthetic. Rounding out the look of the shoe is the Gum outsole and Grey bottom. Is this the best colorway on this new model? Dropping this Summer, let us know what you think about the Nike Air Force 1 Up Step.

I like the tonal look. I like the leather used. I like the gum bottom outsole. It’d be cool if these were to drop in men’s sizes. While everything looks good, I really don’t like the comfort level an AF1 provides. Put these on a corked out sole unit and I’m all over them. Until then, I’ll just admire them from afar.

One of the last times that we saw a new colorway of the Nike LeBron Ambassador 8 it had some South Beach vibes all over it. But LeBron has officially moved away from Miami and is now back home in Cleveland trying to win a championship for “The Land.”

As LeBron chases his 3rd NBA Championship, Nike has just unveiled a new colorway of the Ambassador 8 that looks like a lot like the Elite colorways of past LeBron models like the 9, 10 and even the 13 that released earlier this month. The combination of white, gold and black gives a premium look to any sneaker its placed on and this one is no different.

What are your thoughts on this fancy colorway of the Nike LeBron Ambassador 8?

This colorway definitely reminds me of past LeBron elite releases. Not sure if that’s a good thing because this isn’t even LeBron’s signature shoe.

I’ve never owned a pair of the Nike Cortez but I’ll admit that this colorway caught my attention because it’s hard not to like a black and gold sneaker. I still don’t plan on copping though.

So what makes the Nike Air Force 1 Up Step a remixed version of the original Nike Air Force 1? If you take a close look at the construction of the leather upper, you will find that all of the seams of the shoe are hidden! One of the colorways helping debut this new AF1 has the shoe rocking the classic Black and Gum look.

The shoe starts off with a premium Black leather upper, with of course the seams hidden in the construction. The Black extends to the Nike Swoosh, lining, laces and the leather tag on the tongue. Creating some contrast is the gum bottom outsole paired up with the tonal Black bottom. Fellas, you’re going to have to take a seat on this one because Nike is only releasing these in women sizing, at least for now. Slated to drop during the Summer, what do you think?

With Summer right around the corner, everyone is looking for ways to keep cool, especially your feet. While the Nike Cortez may be considered a classic Nike silhouette, it may not be the best option if you’re looking for something light and breathable. Enter the Nike Cortez Ultra Breathe.

This remixed version of the Cortez gets a modern upgrade by replacing the traditional upper with a lighter ventilated mesh construction. This new look results in a lighter, breathable and more comfortable feel. Coming in Grey, Black and Royal Blue, all three pairs are accompanied by White hits placed on the lining, midsle and heel tab. It’s a classic with a modern twist. Said to be dropping in the near future, are you looking forward to this release?

I’d probably never buy a Cortez made out of leather or nylon, but this one I can mess with. It looks clean and fresh.

Since 1995, the Nike Air Rift has maintained its status as one of the strangest sneakers to ever come out of the Swoosh’s creative facilities in Beaverton, Oregon. The experimental design featured a neoprene slip-on upper complete with bold panels that allowed the entire forefoot to be exposed while two straps added a lockdown fit. Now NikeLab is transforming the silhouette over two decades later, getting rid of the two aforementioned noticeable traits for a new seamless wrapped construction in the NikeLab Rift Wrap for Summer 2016. The monochromatic ventilated upper sneaks in modern Swoosh placement on the toe while the heel strap remains to match the traditional outsole unit. What do you think of this summer-ready design? Check out detailed photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date right here on Sneaker News.
