Today we continue our exploration of the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack with the Hyperdunk ’08, the Zoom Kobe IV, and the Zoom Kobe V. These three sneakers mark Kobe Bryant’s most successful run as a Nike athlete, when he put on one of the most clutch performances in basketball history at the Gold Medal game at the Beijing Olympics and went on to win back-to-back NBA Championships. This also marks the start of the Flywire era for Nike as a whole; the Hyperdunk ’08 placed the innovation front and center with the lightweight transparent upper, and it later paved the way for the Zoom Kobe IV – widely considered to be among the best Nike Kobe signature shoes ever. Stay tuned as we explore more of the sub-plots behind the Kobe Black Mamba Pack.

The newly-introduced Nike Air Huarache Ultra continues to receive a number of colorways as we progress throughout the year, and with warm weather on the horizon, an all-white rendition of the silhouette is now offered.

Essentially a modernized take of the classic Tinker Hatfield design, this model is defined by its revamped breathable mesh upper that provides perfect ventilation during those arid summer days. Further detailed with a refined iteration of the silhouette?s distinctive heel cage system and tonal leather overlays, the model features a sock-like collar to enable a perfect and comfortable fit.

All resting atop a matching sole unit, other notable details include bigger branding on the elastic heel which provides additional allowance when worn. Also, the sneaker’s respective logo is situated on its tongue. Furthermore, the model is finished off with tonal laces and pull tabs on the tongue and heel section.

While the exterior is dipped in the heavenly tone, the only contrasting element is provided by its insoles which are shaded in red, and can also be seen on the outsole when flipped. Retailing for $130, you can find this pair at select Nike stores nationwide now.

I’ve been a fan since the introduction of this silhouette. In this colorway, it’ll definitely garner a lot of attention. The only downside is maintaining it clean.

Unlike the upcoming Nike Kyrie 2, this Nike KD 8 Easter edition strays from pastel tones which are typically synonymous with the forthcoming holiday on Sunday, March 27th.

Sporting a traditional look instead, the upper weave construction flaunts a primarily wolf grey tone, which also flows throughout the midsole and rear. Hits of white are applied on the tongue, laces, inner lining and lower portion of the midsole unit, while a classic gum outsole caps off the composition, as well as providing a complementing contrast.

Rounded out with tonal grey embroidered Swooshes and branding on the tongue label, you can find this latest pair at select Nike accounts this Friday, March 25th for $180.

I do like the silhouette in general and this colorway makes the pair pretty versatile. It would’ve been nice to see more of a holiday theme, but this palette is appealing overall.

This upcoming Pendleton x Nike Air Max 90 consists as the next variation of the popular runner by the Portland-based heritage label, which specializes in producing classic American styling primarily with wool.

Flaunting an understated makeup overall, black consists as the sneaker’s primary tone, while the lifestyle brand’s hallmark tribal wool in shades of black, brown and grey are prominent on the mudguard and encompasses across the heel as well. In addition, more premium flair is evidenced by a brown leather lining to perfectly complement the profile.

I’m always a fan of this partnership. I like the aesthetics overall. This pair is certainly versatile and I’m a fan of how the pattern isn’t overpowering.

Last year, Jordan Brand decided to give the Air Jordan 1 a premium look at a premium price when they released the Air Jordan 1 Pinnacle collection. This year Nike plans on doing the same to some of their running models as they’re set to release the Nike Pinnacle Running Collection. Said to be a collection made exclusively for the ladies, the Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max Thea and Nike Pre Montreal Racer will all take part in the collection.

Although the construction and materials won’t be as luxurious or premium as in the Air Jordan 1 Pinnacle collection, there’s no doubt that the same theme and concept is utilized on the shoe. All three models will come in luxe tonal offerings covered in black or Light Bone constructed out of a soft premium leather. Adding more of a premium feel to the shoe is the fact that the inner lining and insole also appear to come in leather fashion. Tonal branding and laces complete the monochromatic look of the shoe, while a light bone colored midsole appear on all three models. No word yet on the release date or price point for each of the shoes, but we will be sure to let you know as soon as that information is available.

Author’s Take

I may be biased, but I would have liked to see Vachetta tan leather placed on the shoes to give it that true premium feel. Covering the shoes in light bone or black is something we’ve already seen in the past, so it doesn’t feel new or refreshing.

Quick, pancakes or waffles? If you said waffles, you answered correctly. You may also want to take a look at this latest themed Nike SB Dunk High. Dubbed the “Waffle”, the shoe is constructed to make it look like an actual waffle, texture and all.

The SB Dunk High comes in a wheat colored upper with a waffle-like woven pattern. In addition to the waffle-patterned look, the shoe also comes with a gum bottom sole unit and a tonal clear Nike Swoosh that appears to look as if it’s covered in syrup. If you take a look at the insole of the shoe, you will notice that one of them has a waffle graphic and the other has a chicken graphic. Tonal tongues, laces and lining complete the look of the shoe. Could this be some sort of collaboration or simply a themed SB that really loved chicken and waffles? Set to release April 2, let us know what you think about the shoe.

Not gonna lie, I am feeling a little hungry after writing this piece. Regardless, the them of the shoe is “creative”, I’m just not sure how people are going to react to it.

If you took advantage of the iridescent option on NIKEiD, you could have had a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Highs rocking the flashy look. Now Nike has decided to release a pair rocking that same look but in a much more subtle style.

The bold and flashy iridescent hits on the shoe are located on the tongue tag, lace dubrae, heel tab and Nike Swoosh branding on the side panels. Are you a fan of the look? If so stay tuned to find out when you will be able to get your hands on a pair.

The iridescent look is not for me. Too flashy for my style. Easy pass on my end.

I’ve never been a fan of any Foamposites but this University Red option isn’t that bad. I just can’t see  myself spending $200 or more on a shoe that I “sort of” like.

Nike Air Max 2016 is poised to be the biggest one yet with a full-blown Air Max convention set to take place in New York, along with several high-profile new releases, retros and reissues that Air Max fans are itching to cop. But maybe the most popular of these drops is the Nike Air Max LD-Zero H, the latest creation from fragment design’s Hiroshi Fujiwara. Using the Nike Boston – which also inspired the Nike Roshe LD-1000 – and the Nike Air Max 2014 as the basis of his collab, this mash-up sneaker looks old school, but has feel of a modern-day Air Max release. That’s a good thing.

Releasing as the fourth sneaker from the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack will be the Nike Kobe 3.

The colorway of the Nike Kobe 3 features a full Matte Silver color scheme. The Kobe 3 takes on a completely different look from the Kobe 1 and 2 and features a unique textured pattern throughout most of the upper. It’s believed that the diamond pattern on the upper was inspired by Kobe’s daughter, Diamante. That same diamond pattern can also be seen on the midsole and outsole in order to match the upper.

Take a look at the official images above and remember that the Nike Kobe 3 Black Mamba will release on March 28th for $200. Make sure you check in with our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for additional images and details on every release from this pack.

Author’s Take

The unique pattern on the Kobe 3 definitely makes it stand out from all of Kobe’s other signature models. However what this pair is missing is the Swoosh branding on the side panels. I think if Nike would have added it would have looked even better.

Supreme and Nike collaborations are nothing new. Over the years we’ve seen them come together and work their magic on pairs such as the Nike Foamposite, Nike Air Force 1 and most recently the Air Jordan 5. Up next is the collaborative effort on the Nike Air Max 98. Although the silhouette is not considered one of the most popular Air Max models, linking it up with Supreme will sure help the model garner plenty of attention. Let’s take look as the sail colored version of the Supreme x Nike Air Max 98.

The shoe’s comes in a Sail/Metallic Silver covered upper. Joining and complimenting the tonal look of the shoe is the synthetic snakeskin placed on the mudguard all around the shoe. A Nike Swoosh is found on the side panels, Air Max branding on the tongue dual branding on the red insole. No word on the release date just yet, but having access to the official images give us a good idea of what the shoe will look like.

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 Nike Air Huarache Run Action Green is one of those new colorways that have an OG vibe and feel to them. Perhaps the OG Scream Green colorway similarities give it that vibe, but regardless this is a brand new colorway and it’s available for purchase now.

The shoe is dressed in a predominantly white upper constructed out of mesh and leather. Breaking up the tonal look of the shoe is the Action Green placed on the neoprene bootie. Additional color can be see by way of the vivid orange placed on the tongue branding. A white midsole and a black rubber outsole and heel cage complete the major features of the shoe. Out now, pick up your very own pair at select Nike retailers for $110.

It?s cool if you?re looking for a shoe with some pop to it. I have plenty of those at the current moment, but for those who don?t this is a solid pick up.

There’s been a couple different multicolor versions of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit, but none of them have been made exclusively for the ladies. Sure, they can buy a men’s pair and wear them, but having your own colorway feels that much special. Today we take a look at their very first version of the women’s Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low Multicolor .

The base of the shoe, along with the sole, eyestay, lining, tongue laces and leather Nike Swoosh all come in white. The main attraction lies in the multicolor Flyknit construction placed on the upper. Although the colors used on the upper appear to be geared more towards the women, I could easily see some of the men picking up a pair for themselves. Said to be arriving as we speak, let us know what you think about the new colorway on the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low.

It’s a little bit too pink compared to the mulitcolor hues I’m used to, but it’s still a solid colorway. The ladies got a good one, no doubt about that.
