Nike continues to be the cream of the crop. Although adidas and Under Armour are making moves, they’re still not anywhere near the success that Nike is currently experiencing. Looking to get even better and create a wider gap between them and their competitors, Nike plans on spending around $40 million to expand their airbag factory located in Beaverton, Oregon.

In an attempt to speed up production and innovation space, Nike hopes that this $40 million investment produces even more of the small bags that are used to create their iconic Nike Air cushioning systems. According to Oregon Live, Nike plans on doing a 140,500-square-foot expansion to the already existing 217,000-square-foot facility. All this will be done by subsidiary Nike IHM. No word on how many more jobs this expansion will create, but we do know that the expansion will also include 363 spaces. It’s also worth mentioning that last year, Nike announced plans to move 10,000 manufacturing jobs to the United States.

Pretty solid colorway, but I only say that because I’m a big fan of this shade of blue. Definitely one of the top three colorways I’ve seen on the Kobe 11 model.

Nike decided to bring back the Nike Air Icarus this year to celebrate its 25th anniversary. One of the colorways that manages to get the retro treatment is none other that the Cherry colorway you see above. If you’re looking for an old school runner with some vintage flare, I advise you don’t sleep on these.

The Air Icarus is constructed out of a combination consisting of leather, mesh and nylon. The base color comes in white, while the hits of Purple and Cherry not only provide contrast, but also give the shoe that classic 90s look. Available now at select retailers, let us know if you plan on scooping up a pair.

If you’re a fan of the vintage old school runner look, don’t sleep on these. They may not be the most popular Nike running model, but they’re still a dope shoe to wear this Spring.

It’s safe to say that the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared is the most popular OG colorway that the model has to offer. Not far behind is the AM 90 Laser Blue. Nike has decided to bring back this iconic colorway, but this time around their utilizing it on the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Essential.

The Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Essential is just one of many different modern iterations of the classic Air Max 90. Updates on the shoe include lighter sole unit and a breathable and seamless mesh upper which in return makes the shoe much more comfortable and lightweight. The Laser Blue color scheme has the shoe come in a white upper contrasted by the black fused mudguard and top eyelets, and of course, the Laser Blue placed on the midsole region surrounding the Air Max unit, bottom eyelet, tongue branding and heel tab. Available internationally, it’s only a matter of time before these drop stateside.

Author’s Take

I may be on the losing end on this one, but I actually prefer this version of the Air Max 90 than the OG one. Why? It’s lighter and more comfortable. Who doesn’t like that?! Yes, some of the OG aesthetics of the shoe are removed, but it’s still similar enough to have that classic Air Max 90 look.

The new Nike SB Bruin Hyperfeel silhouette is slowly but surely beginning to release new colorways on the shoe. This time around the shoe rocks a Racer Blue colorway that almost gives the shoe a Knicks-vibe to them.

The tonal appearance of the shoe is matched up with Orange accents that can be found on the tongue and heel tab branding of the shoe. Below you will find a white Hyperfeel sole unit that has more than enough grip to help you while on the deck. Lastly, perforations along the side panel provide added breathability, and the inner gusset gives you a nice and snug fit. Available now, pick up your pair at select retailers for $90.

If I were to skate, I’d give these a try. Strictly for casual wear, I don’t think these are for me. Any skaters out there had the chance to try these on? What do you think?

The Nike Air Max 90 has seen countless updates by Nike Sportswear over the past half-decade, most focused on seamlessly slimming down the archival runner to make it a more lightweight, modern fit with a similar aesthetic to the original. And while there’s nothing quite like the classic, the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Essential managed to streamline the fit with an outsole unit inspired by the Ultra Morie running model while bolstering the upper in a breathable mesh perfect for summer. OG colorways are landing on the model too, like this revamp of the classic “Laser Blue” straight from 1990. A clean white base is accented by black overlays (now just a fused portion of the mudguard) while vibrant blues hit the midsole shank and heel to offset subtle grey branding. Available now from U.K. spots like Size?.

The Nike Lunar Flow LSR PRM recently made a comeback, and slowly but surely colorways are beginning to arrive at select boutiques. Two of those said colorways have the shoe come in Grey and Black uppers.

Constructed out of a leather (or suede) upper, the shoe’s most notable feature is without a doubt the laser cut perforations placed on the majority of the upper. The Grey pair is done in suede and the black pair is done in leather. Tonal laces and Nike branding give the uppers a monochromatic motif, while the white Lunarlon midsole adds contrast and more importantly, comfort.

Do we have any fans of the Nike Air Pegasus 89′ out there? If you happen to be a fan of the retro runner from Nike then you’re going to want to take a close look at this colorway.

Draped in the traditional Triple White color scheme that we typically see around the Spring and Summer seasons, this Air Pegasus ’89 features a no-sew upper which means it comes dressed in a combination of mesh and Hyperfuse. Everything on this Nike Sportswear silhouette comes in white including the laces, inner liner, outsole, and midsole.

Is this too much white or are you a fan of this colorway of the Air Pegasus 89?

Author’s Take

The only white on white sneaker that I’ll ever buy is probably the Nike Air Force 1. Other than that I don’t see myself picking up this pair, especially if it’s mesh.
