The Nike Bruin Photo Blue Drops This Weekend

NIKE BRUIN 1 NIKE BRUIN 2 NIKE BRUIN 3 NIKE BRUIN 4

Late last year, NikeLab helped bring back the OG colorway of the Nike Bruin. The shoe turned out to be a complete success as the it manages to sell out almost instantly. Looking to match the obtain the same success is the upcoming colorway of the classic model, the Nike Bruin Photo Blue.

The classic Nike low-top basketball shoe is a great look for the Spring as the upper is dressed in a clean white leather that is then beautifully contrasted by the Photo Blue hits placed on the Nike Swoosh, tongue branding, and heel tab. White laces, lining and a white sole unit complete the look of the shoe. Nothing to flashy or out of the ordinary, just a classic and vintage Nike offering. Want a pair? You’ll be able to get your hands on one beginning March 26th for $110. Hot or not? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The OG colorway that release last year didn’t really catch my attention, but this one did. I may be biased due to the fact that I love shoes with blue on them. Regardless, it’s dope to see the classic make a return.

Nike Air Max 95 Cool Grey


The Nike Air Max 95 is back in a premium monochromatic “Cool Grey” look that deviates from the standard pastel wave that usually occupies the spring season. After celebrating an anniversary year that saw such classics like the Neon and a head-turning new “What The” construction, Sergio Lozano’s iconic visible air-wielding silhouette takes a more subdued approach here as the shade made famous by the Air Jordan 11 camouflages the usual gradient found on the side panel waves. Even the air bag is dressed in a Cool Grey shade to further the monochromatic aesthetic. Are you a fan of the look? If so, buy this pair AM95 from international spots like Caliroots.

While switching from grey to black Nike thought it was a good idea to throw in a couple of different colors into the mix in the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack.

The Nike Kobe 7 will come dressed in a Blux Fox colorway that is essentially a dark blue hue. Some unique features of the Nike Kobe 7 silhouette include the textured lines that can be found throughout most of the upper and the leather tongue. Kobe Bryant also wore the Kobe 7 while capturing the Gold Medal during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Take a look at official images of the Nike Kobe 7 Black Mamba and remember that they release on April 6th for a retail price of $200. Also be sure to visit our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for release dates and official images of every sneaker in the pack.

I’ve never been a fan of the Nike Kobe 7 silhouette. Even now that I actually know more about Kobe sneakers I just feel like the shoe is a little too plain for my liking. Maybe it’s just this colorway.

Kobe Bryants 20 Year Sneaker Legacy Part 3: The Early Nike Years

Where we last left off in the story of Kobe Bryant’s 20 Year Sneaker Legacy, the Black Mamba had just completed his year of legendary sneaker free agency, signing a deal with Nike during the summer of 2003. Thirteen years later, we all know how important this deal was, as the partnership between Kobe and designer Eric Avar would change the way most basketball sneakers are designed and constructed today. The most revolutionary model to date in the Nike Kobe line would obviously be the Zoom Kobe IV, which re-introduced the low-top as a formidable option on the basketball court. But before we get to the low-tops, let’s take a look at the first chapter of Kobe’s tenure with Nike.

Much like his sneaker free agency, Kobe’s early Nike days were filled with PE colorways of some already existing Nike models. It wouldn’t be until his third season with Nike that his first signature sneaker was released, the Nike Zoom Kobe I. In this look back at Kobe Bryant’s monumental sneaker career, we’ll recap the early Nike years and pre-low-top era, documenting every model he wore in the first five seasons of one of the most crucial partnerships in sneaker history.

The 13th and final sneaker from the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack will be Kobe Bryant’s newest and current signature sneaker, the Nike Kobe 11.

As you can see, the Kobe 11 represents the end of Kobe’s basketball career and uses an all-black colorway on the Flyknit upper to go along with the “Fade To Black” theme of the pack. What also stands out are the gold accents on the Swoosh, heel and the date “4.13.16” on the right heel which is the date that Kobe will be playing in his final NBA game against the Utah Jazz.

Take a look at the official images below and remember that you’ll have your opportunity to pick up the Nike Kobe 11 Black Mamba when it releases on April 13th for $200. Also make sure to visit our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for additional images, release information and other updates on the entire pack.

Author’s Take

I like how Nike decided to not make this colorway just all black. The gold accents give the shoe a really nice pop and the date on the heel makes this a must-have colorway for any Kobe fans. This is definitely in my top 3 out of the entire pack.

It feels like it was only a couple of weeks ago when we were still seeing new colorways release of the Nike Kobe 10.

Now we’ll see the Kobe 10 as a part of the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack that signifies the culmination of Kobe’s NBA career. Having just released last year and many stores still carrying the Kobe 10, I’m sure that most people are very familiar with the shoe. This colorway of the Kobe 10 features a full Dark Obsidian Flyknit upper with what looks to be a dark blue translucent outsole.

Check out the official images above of the Nike Kobe 10 Black Mamba and look for them to release on April 11th for $200. You can also check in with our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for the latest updates on the entire pack.

Author’s Take

I wasn’t a fan of the Kobe 10 when I first saw it but the more colorways that released the more I liked it. This Black Mamba colorway is one of my favorites from the entire pack.

Joining the Nike Kobe 7 as the only shoes from the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack that are done in a color other than white, grey or black is the Nike Kobe 8.

The Nike Kobe 8 from the Black Mamba Pack comes in a Dark Raisin colorway which is undoubtedly the pair that hits closest to home for any Lakers fans due to the purple upper. The Kobe 8 uses an engineered mesh upper making it lightweight and breatheable and lunar cushioning making it comfortable. Many people also hold the Kobe 8 in high regard as one of their favorite silhouettes out of the entire Kobe line.

Take a look at the official images above and look to purchase the Nike Kobe 8 Black Mamba on April 8th for $200. You can also stay up to date with the entire collection by visiting our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for the latest images and release information.

Author’s Take

Everyone who I know that I owns a pair of Kobe 8s always talks about how comfortable they are. I’ve never tried on a pair personally but if it has lunarlon cushioning I can already imagine. When I see this colorway this is all I can think of though.

Anybody else think of the California Raisin cartoons?

Up next in the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack is the Nike Kobe 9 which represent a new drastic change for the Kobe line. This was the first Kobe sneaker that utilized a Flyknit upper which seems to be the norm with many shoes these days. (See KD 9)

Nike decided to release the Kobe 9 as an Elite High version that features the crazy extended ankle that many people either love or hate. Other versions include an Elite Low (Flyknit) and an engineered mesh low option. The shoe features a full Anthracite color scheme and of course a Flyknit upper. At first most people were skeptical about the Kobe 9 but when many basketball players began wearing it on court and people actually tried them on their opinion completely changed.

Check out the official images above and look for the Nike Kobe 9 Black Mamba to release on April 11th for $200.

Author’s Take

This colorway reminds me a lot of the Detail colorway that featured a combination of light and dark grey throughout the upper. This Black Mamba colorway isn’t that bad but it’s also one that I think people may pass on.

As we begin to shift from grey over to black the next silhouette in the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack is the Nike Kobe 6.

The Nike Kobe 6 comes in a full River Rock colorway and the upper resembles snake scales inspired by Kobe?s nickname Black Mamba along with Flywire for support and a sockliner to mold to a player?s foot. The Swoosh branding on the side panels has been done in a lighter shade of grey along with gold detailing on the insoles.

Take a look at official images of the Nike Kobe 6 Black Mamba above and look for them to release on April 5th for a retail price of $200.

What immediately stand out the most to me on the Kobe 6 is the snakeskin-inspired upper. That feature/reason alone makes this one of my favorite Kobe silhouettes of all time.

Another Look At The Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 Black

SUPREME X NIKE AIR MAX 98 BLACK 1 SUPREME X NIKE AIR MAX 98 BLACK 2 SUPREME X NIKE AIR MAX 98 BLACK 4 SUPREME X NIKE AIR MAX 98 BLACK 5

Yesterday we gave you an official look at the Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 shoe coming in the white/sail colorway. Today we take a look at the black colorway from the upcoming collaboration between Supreme and Nike.

Coming in a tonal offering, the black version of the Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 opts to come in a luxe aesthetic as the mudguard is done in a patent leather construction, while the rest of the shoe appears to be made out of mesh. Red accents are placed on the insole and outsole to help give it a little bit of a Supreme vibe. Tonal Nike branding appears on the side panels, Air Max branding on the tongue and dual-branding on the insoles. No price point or release date information has been announced, but expect these to drop sometime in the Spring.

The Nike Air Max 98 is a 6 out of 10 Nike Air Max model in my opinion. Having it collaborate with Supreme does nothing for me. I still see it as a 6 out of 10.

The Premium Suede On This Womens Nike Air Huarache Run Is Wavy

NIKE WMNS AIR HUARACHE RUN PRM SUEDE 1 NIKE WMNS AIR HUARACHE RUN PRM SUEDE 2 NIKE WMNS AIR HUARACHE RUN PRM SUEDE 3

The women are about to be blessed with a brand new version of the Nike Air Huarache Run. Considered to be a premium version of the shoe, the Nike Huarache comes dressed with hits of premium suede covered in a texture that we’ve never seen on this model before.

The shoe starts off with an off-white upper contrasted by the copper placed on the heel cage of the shoe. The neoprene upper is paired up with tonal premium suede paneling that has a wavy design to them to give the shoe a new and refreshing look. Completing the aesthetics of the shoe is the gum bottom outsole to give it that classic touch. Said to be dropping internationally, it’s only a matter of time before we see these stateside. Cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

The wavy texture on the suede is barely visible, at least in these images. I would have liked to see the new look be more visible.
