There’s going to be a lot of tributes for Kobe Bryant as we inch closer and closer to the finale of his historic career. There’s been the literal – with Jordan Brand giving him his PEs on the way – and the symbolic – players coming up to him to pay homage and ask for his shoes – that all point towards the inevitability of April 13th. With only a few more days to go, Nike has already done their part with the highly sought after Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack that looks back at the (almost) entirety of Kobe’s history with the swoosh, but they haven’t forgotten about his current shoe, the Nike Kobe 11. The Kobe 11 has received numerous new colorways and many more yet to come, but they have also blown out his NIKEiD offerings in a way that we haven’t seen before. Recently, Nike released not one, not two, but three new options for the Kobe 11 in the form of the Satellite, Sunset Fade and Summer Basketball Cities. So take a wild guess what we’re doing in this edition of Fun With NIKEiD….

Sunset Options

Satellite Options

Summer League Options

New Heel Symbol Options

Nike is celebrating the return of the Boston Marathon by introducing the revolutionary new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit in two new exclusive colorways for men and women. The head-turning running silhouette is like nothing Nike Running has ever done before, as a Lunarlon cushion system and Flyknit upper extends up the ankle for extra support and lockdown comfort. A tonal grey serves as the women’s option with a yellow accent hitting the exclusive Boston Marathon logo on each heel. The men will be treated to a Game Royal option complete with a contrasting Wolf Grey color on the new sock construction and Team Red accents. Check out more detailed photos below and grab your size this Thursday, April 7th for $190 USD when the entirety of Nike’s Boston Collection hits retailers.

We’re sensing a trend here. It appears that Nike is dressing up its contemporary signature models after classic Nike Basketball models from over two decades ago as we get a first look at a Nike LeBron 13 inspired by the legendary Air Command Force. This LeBron 13 features the same color pairings of white, light blue, and that speckled neon green, but the most nostalgic detail is undoubtedly the Nike Air logo placed on the heel. Now that we’re aware of the LeBron 13 “Command Force” as well as the Kyrie 2 “Huarache”, what can we expect from the Kobe 11 and KD 8? Expect these in stores this June 11th.

It’s getting really hard to keep track of all the “Multicolor” versions of the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit, with yet another iteration now hitting the market. It’s another low-top this time, featuring a black-based Flyknit construction with vibrant hues of Blue Lagoon, Voltage Green, and Pink Blast intertwined throughout. As with all other Flyknit Air Force 1’s so far, they’re detailed with black leather for the Swooshes and tongues, while the lighter ‘Ultra’ outsole sits below. Expect this latest Air Force 1 Flyknit Low at select Nike Sportswear retailers on April 22nd.

The NBA regular season is winding down and it’s looking like we we’ll go another year without seeing an “elite” version of Kyrie Irving’s signature sneaker.

What we will be seeing however is this new colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2 that takes some OG inspiration from a retro Nike runner that was designed by Tinker Hatfield. Dubbed the Nike Kyrie 2 Kyrache, this colorway of the Kyrie 2 draws inspiration from the OG Bold Berry colorway of the Nike Air Huarache. The shoe features a classic combination of White, Black, Bold Berry and blue for a clean and classic look. Kyrie Irving has actually already worn them on the court this season as you can see in the picture above.

At the moment there is no exact release date for the Nike Kyrie 2 Kyrache 2 but we’ll be sure to keep you updated here at Kicks On Fire. In the meantime check out the official images above.

Author’s Take

Who would have thought that the Bold Berry colorway would look just as good on a basketball shoe like it does on the Air Huarache? Pretty cool idea and nice execution by Nike.

After seeing the return of the Miami Heat colorway of the Nike Air Penny 2 last month, we’ll now be seeing the return of another OG colorway of Penny Hardaway’s 2nd signature sneaker with Nike.

Scheduled to release this Friday, April 8th is the Varsity Royal colorway of the Nike Air Penny 2. This Penny 2 features Black nubuck on the majority of the upper with Varisty Blue and Metallic Silver detailing throughout. The signature One Cent logo has been placed on the tongue, ankle and heel for that unique touch.

Set to retail for $160, will you be picking up a pair come Friday?

Author’s Take

The more I look at the Nike Air Penny 2 the more I like it. However if I were ever to pick up a pair it wouldn’t be this one. Not really feeling the shade of blue used on this colorway.

Nike Air returned on the Air Jordan 6 last year with the Maroon colorway. That was then followed up by the return of Nike Air on the Air Jordan 4 during All Star Weekend with the White Cement colorway. Next up to receive the OG Nike Air treatment is the Air Jordan 5.

Releasing this Summer will be the OG Black/Metallic Silver colorway of the Air Jordan 5. This Air Jordan 5 features a Black nubuck upper with Metallic Silver detailing on the 3M tongue, and the shark teeth on the midsole. White Nike Air branding on the heel and a Fire Red Jumpman on the tongue finish off the look on this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 5.

Will you be purchasing a pair when they release on July 23rd for $220? Let us know down in the comments below. Don?t forget to visit our Air Jordan 5 OG 90 Black/Metallic Silver launch page for the latest images, videos and other updates.

Author’s Take

I?ve always wanted a pair of Black/Metallic 5s, but if it means having to spend $220 plus tax I may just have to pass. *Sigh*

With the NBA Playoffs less than two weeks away, the Nike LeBron 13 Elite will begin releasing next week so fans of The King can wear the same sneakers that LeBron will also be wearing during the chase for his 3rd NBA Championship.

But before the LeBron 13 goes Elite on us we’ll be seeing at least one more colorway of the original LeBron 13 arrive at retailers. Looking at this new colorway of the LeBron 13 above we can see that it features a gradient effect on the upper that starts off with Wolf Grey at the toe and then shifts to Black on the back half of the sneaker. Bright Crimson then lands on the eyelets and outsole while a graphic Volt and Crimson Swoosh appears by the toe for a bold finishing touch.

It is being reported that this will be a kids exclusive colorway of the LeBron 13 and should be hitting Nike retailers in the near future. Do you wish this colorway would have released in men’s sizes?

Author’s Take

If the Swoosh on the toe would have been solid red this colorway would have looked better. Regardless, this is still a colorway I’m sure many men will be left wanting.

Kobe Bryant will be playing in his final NBA game ever on April 13th when the Lakers host the Utah Jazz at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Everyone will be trying to find a way to get a ticket to that game before now and then.

Continuing with the special colorways of the Nike Kobe 11 that have been celebrating Kobe’s career is this upcoming Draft Day colorway. This Kobe 11 is dressed up in a combination of White, Blue Lagoon and Court Purple, which happen to be the team colors of the Charlotte Hornets, the team that originally drafted Kobe back in 1996. Kobe was taken as the 13th pick in the 1996 NBA Draft and was traded on Draft Day to the Lakers. As you can see in the images above, this colorway of the Kobe 11 is not made up of Flyknit but instead features an engineered mesh upper and has been hit with “6.26.96” on the heel, the day that Kobe was drafted.

The Nike Kobe 11 Draft Day is expected to hit retailers on April 28th for a retail price of $160. Will this be a cop or a drop for you?

Author’s Take

Definitely a colorway that you would want to add to the collection if you’re a Kobe Bryant fan. This shoe signifies the beginning of Kobe’s career and what could have been if he were never traded.

Nike is taking the LeBron Soldier 9 name quite literally lately with another military-themed colorway. First it was Desert Storm version draped in a tonal khaki brown, but a new colorway pays tribute to the fighters on the sea with an aquatic color scheme. An all-over matte blue color dominates the sneaker, while like the previous release, a military code is labeled on the ankle strap to re-affirm the solider motif. Is this one of the best colorways yet for LeBron’s latest team sneaker? Expect this version to hit Nike retailers in the coming weeks.

The Nike Air Max 120 is available in its first retro release since arriving at retailers back in 1998. It isn’t too hard to see why this model had such a cult following prior to the turn of the millennia as an artistically bold design featured unique Kurim overlays that acted as a second skin for support. Nike Sportswear has updated the offering in a number of gradient colorways true to the original intentions, as this “Laser Orange” theme is hot enough to help you out throughout the summer months. Synthetic leather overlays provide a durability while mesh adds ventilation throughout. A Phylon midsole and waffle outsole are the perfect combination of cushion and traction. Check out a better view of the latest colorway below and grab this pair from select shops like RISE.
