Last year Nike released a new LeBron silhouette made exclusively for kids (unless you’re LeBron) known as the Nike Air Akronite.

Ever since its release a few different colorways have dropped sporadically. Now with the Spring season back Nike has decided to release new colorways with the latest being the pair that you see above. This Air Akronite features a White upper with Photo Blue detailing on the graphics on the toe as well as on the inner liner, branding and the speckling on the midsole. Black and Metallic Silver accents finish off the look on this kids-exclusive colorway of the Nike Air Akronite that can be purchased now directly from nike.com as well as other retailers now for $95.

This LeBron silhouette looks pretty bulky in comparison to most other LeBron silhouettes. I’m not a fan so I don’t mind that they’re only for the kids.

The Nike Berwuda isn’t considered one of the most known or popular Nike silhouettes, but don’t let that stop you from picking up this brand new bold colorway that recently dropped. While everyone is picking up Air Max 90s and Air Max 1, go against the grain and pick up the Nike Air Berwuda.

Constructed out of a suede body and mesh toe, the shoe comes in a Red, White and Blue colorway, making it a dope option for Independence Day and all of summer. A white misole and black outsole and heel counter complete the main features on the shoe. Available now, pick up your very own pair for $110.

I used to own a pair of Berwudas a couple of years back.  I had to let them go because I got them 1/2 a size too big. Aside from that, it was a cool looking shoe not many people know about.

Last week found out that the Carpe Diem colorway from the Nike Kobe line would be returning and landing on the Nike Kobe 11.

Utilizing an engineered mesh upper in Black, this colorway of the Kobe 11 is then contrasted by pops of purple, white, and yellow to give it a Lakers-inspired look. The inner liner also features a black and yellow quilted pattern that also appeared originally on the Kobe 4. Peep these on-feet images above and remember that the Nike Kobe 11 Carpe Diem is scheduled to release on May 21st for $160. Will you be scooping up a pair?

True fans of the Nike Kobe line will be happy to see this Carpe Diem colorway make a return. This can also serve as another Lakers colorway, which is always a good thing for fans of the team.

Last offered in midnight navy, the Nike Air Max Thea Joli is treated with another new colorway for Spring/Summer 2016.

While the warm weather calls for brighter tones, this latest take consists of pewter. Taking cues from the composition of the malleable metal alloy, the model’s laser perforated upper is essentially colored in the defining tone.

Emitting a slight sheen in various lighting conditions to exude additional flair, the bold and subtly eye-catching silhouette is finished off with a clean white sole unit.

Look for this simple, two-tone variation at select Nike accounts overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.

I’m generally a fan of runners and I like this style for the ladies. The colorway is certainly easy on the eyes and I would be tempted to purchase if it was on a men’s pair.

After a blowout in Game 1, the Oklahoma City Thunder responded with big performances (and some help from the refs) to tie up what is currently the NBA’s most exciting semi-finals competition at a game a piece. OKC’s ability to retain Kevin Durant in free agency could hang in the balance of this very series, but luckily Nike’s already secured a lengthy contract extension with one of the game’s brightest stars. The Nike KD 8 Elite has turned heads for its towering high-top construction complete with a built in ankle sock support system. Durant’s been lacing up different PEs throughout the playoffs and this “Alternate” tooling featuring a heavy dose of navy blue might just be the best colorway yet. A white heel cage contrasts while University Blue lands on the Swoosh branding for an added pop. Be on the lookout for KD to potentially break out this pair in Game 3 and let us know what you think of the KD 8 Elite in the comments section.

While tonal offerings of the new Nike Air Presto Flyknit Ultra released today, more colorways of the silhouette are expected to arrive throughout the season as well.

Highlighted is this two-tone variation, which features black across its intricately knitted upper and the addition of crimson gracing the underlays, distinctive TPU heel cage and lacing apparatus. The vibrant tone is also applied on the lining of the sock-like collar and miniature Swoosh logo on the sole unit to further pronounce the profile.

To complement the bold, yet eye-catching palette, a clean white midsole is adhered to the base, which is outfitted with a contrasting black outsole.

You can find this pair at select Nike accounts overseas first, but a stateside release is expected soon.

I’m a fan of its original build but I like this revamped take a bit better. The new construction offers more functionality and it?s pretty versatile. The colorway is pretty appealing as well.

Victor Cruz may not have made an on-field impact last season due to injury, but his contributions to Nike Sportswear’s lineup definitely kept his name relevant thanks to the Nike Air Trainer Cruz. When Vic isn’t rocking his own signature line, Nike is making sure that he’s seeded some of its latest product like this crazy Nike Flyknit Presto Package. The box reads “Instant Happiness Since 2000” and comes equipped with a matching frisbee and all-white pair of the Nike Flyknit Presto Mid. View the unboxing video in its entirety below and let us know if you’re feeling the Presto’s latest Flyknit transformation by taking your thoughts to our comments section.

Following a white/blue colorway, another variation of the Nike KD 8 Elite that will be worn by Kevin Durant throughout the 2016 NBA Playoffs is showcased.

Unlike the aforementioned pair, this version is dressed in a more subdued tone with navy dominating its upper, distinctive calf-length compression sock and outsole. Offset by clean white gracing the midsole and heel section, the silhouette is further pronounced with touches of light blue utilized of the Swoosh branding and laces.

As of right now, a general release to the public has not been announced, but stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for further updates.

If I was playing bball often, I would consider purchasing. It obviously looks built to handle the court and I like the extended sock support. It’s a solid colorway too.

The Nike Kobe 11 Tinker released at all major retailers this morning at 10AM EST. I just took a quick glimpse at the majority of the websites, and it appears as if the shoe managed to sell out virtually everywhere! Did you manage to scoop up a pair?

What makes this Nike Kobe 11 special is the fact that it was designed by Tinker Hatfield. What makes it even more highly coveted is the fact that the shoe was inspired by Kobe’s favorite Jordan of all time, the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement. The Kobe 11 Tinker is meant to resemble the look and feel of the Jordan 3 Black Cement, it even has the Nike branding on the heel to give it that OG feel. This will definitely be one of the hottest Nike Kobe 11 releases. Were you lucky enough to get a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

I did not get a pair, but I’m kind of regretting not even trying the more I look at the pictures. Nice looking shoe in a dope and classic colorway. I’m just wondering why they didn’t add some elephant print anywhere on the shoe. Hmm.

This new colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2 may just make your mouth water a bit.

Nike has teamed up with Krispy Kreme donuts to release a special Ky-rispy Kreme colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2. This special pair of Kyrie 2s features a combination of white, green and bright red that’s inspired by the Krispy Kreme logo and boxes. As you can see in the images the shoes are housed in a special Nike Ky-rispy Kreme donut box to coincide with the theme. According to Nike PR Director Heidi Burgett, the special Nike Ky-rispy Kreme truck that houses all of the sneakers will be making stops in Cleveland, Baltimore, Harlem and Brooklyn, and will be available in limited quantities. So if you’re anywhere in these areas make sure you’re on the lookout for this donut sneaker truck.

Love the idea/theme behind this colorway of the Kyrie 2 and the Ky-rispy Kreme truck is the icing on donut (pun intended). It would be cool to have a pair of these but it looks like there won’t be a pit stop in LA.

I think we can all agree that on a surface level, the idea of grafting the iconic look of the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement with Nike Air (which might be coming back next year) onto another silhouette is a little silly. Some say it’s a lazy thing to do while others might argue that it’s simply capitalizing yet again on our love for anything associated with classic Air Jordans. Kobe Bryant and Roger Federer might say they are fans of MJ and designer Tinker Hatfield, but that doesn’t mean they have to basically do it Diddy style and take a hit from the 80s and apply it to their own signature kicks. However, despite all of the pontification about purity, the sneaker community (and that includes hypebeasts, resellers, actual sneakerheads, etc.) has proven that all of the talk doesn’t matter; if it’s good, people will buy it and resell it.

In this edition of Clash Of The Kicks, we are taking at look at two of the highest profile kicks to liberally borrow from the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement, 2014’s Nike Zoom Vapor AJ3 in the Black Cement colorway and today’s release of the Nike Kobe 11 Tinker, which is basically a Black Cement colorway sans the Jumpman. Both kicks came to being in different ways – the Kobe 11 Tinker was the designer’s “contribution” the Muse Pack while Zoom Vapor AJ3 was a NikeLAB/Jordan Brand joint – but they came to the same conclusion that the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement is so damn good it can work anywhere. But just because they can do it, does it mean they have to? Let’s find out what the audience thinks. Check out our ongoing Twitter poll below or vote right now.

Earlier today we showed you a look at an awesome collaboration between Nike Basketball and Krispy Kreme donuts, with an awesome exclusive colorway of the Kyrie 2 shoe serving as the signature menu item. As it turns out, the Nike Ky-rispy Kreme truck will be releasing the shoes in limited quantities at unique locations, making stops in Cleveland, Baltimore, Harlem, and in Brooklyn.

The Nike Tennis Classic is the latest Swoosh retro to be transformed by Flyknit. With summer on the horizon, Nike Sportswear plans on dropping the iconic tennis silhouette featuring the traditional chunky outsole unit aided by the new-aged woven material in a number of monochromatic vibrant colorways. The overall shape of the Nike Tennis Classic Flyknit remains unchanged, still structured in low-top form while the upper of the Nike Flyknit Racer replaces the usual perforated leather selections. This Hyper Turquoise selection illuminates a pastel shade while underlying Volt hits the Dynamic Flywire support system. What do you think of the look? Check out official photos below straight from Nike and let us know if you plan on picking up a pair by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
