The inspiration and theme has been well executed. It should have been a general release in my opinion. It’s still versatile enough for all genders though.

Did anyone pick up the St. Patricks’ Day colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 High OG that released a couple of weeks ago? If you didn’t I don’t blame you cause I’m not too big on green sneakers either.

Nike will continue the trend of releasing different colorways of the OG-inspired Nike Air Force 1 with this black and Sail option that you see above. However, there’s one big difference about this colorway compared to all the previous releases we’ve seen. Instead of using the premium leather upper that we’ve seen on all the previous pairs, this Air Force 1 opts for a canvas upper. The only hits of leather come on the Swoosh branding. The strap also features Nike branding, something else that we haven’t seen on previous pairs.

What are your thoughts on Nike using canvas instead of leather on this pair? Is it a good choice? Chime in with your opinion down in the comments.

Author’s Take

I’m not against canvas but I’m a bigger fan of leather because of how much more comfortable it is. It’s also easier to clean leather.. This new black canvas option is nice but I wouldn’t cop.

There’s a new colorway of the Nike Air Huarache Ultra releasing soon and this one was designed exclusively for the #ChicksOnFire.

A lot of the Nike Air Huarache hybrid models that have released have not been received with open arms, but the Air Huarache Ultra is one of the few that has. This hybrid model of the classic Tinker Hatfield design was introduced in late 2015 and features Flywire technology to keep the mid-foot locked down as well as bigger branding on the heel, and a few other minor changes. The most important thing is that it looks very similar to the original which many people love. This new colorway features a Bleached Lilac upper with Hyper Violet accents for a subtle feminine look. A white midsole and Dynamic Flywire complete the look on this new colorway.

The ladies can look for this colorway of the Nike Air Huarache Ultra at select Nike retailers this Spring.

A new colorway of the Presto has arrived and this one has the perfect look for the Spring season. Boasting a bold and vibrant upper, today we get a first look at the Nike Air Presto Racer Blue.

Not really sure how these will do in the market. I don?t see it as a shoe people would rock casually in 2016, and if you want a runner there?s probably better options out there. I guess we will have to wait and see.
