Yesterday, Cincinnati Reds All-Star first baseman, Joey Votto, was seen wearing an exclusive variation of the Nike Kobe 11 during batting practice in Citi Field in preparation against the New York Mets.

The sneaker isn’t enhanced with cleats to perfectly suit the game, although, the silhouette is coordinated with the Reds’ signature colors perfectly. Red and black is predominant across its engineered mesh upper, tongue, inner lining and sole unit, while shimmering gold accents are implemented on the Swoosh, tongue label and heel to finish off the theme.

Would you consider purchasing this colorway?

As part of the brand’s “J Pack” this season, which essentially takes inspiration from some of the most iconic colorways on the Air Jordan 1, the Nike Air Force 1 Low in Royal Blue is highlighted once again, this time showcasing the model in an editorial perspective.

Overall sporting a premium composition consisting of leather, the defining hue is prominent on the toe box, Swoosh branding, outsole, tongue tab and rear section, while black converges throughout the inner lining, laces, tongue, along the forefoot and portions of its side panels.

All sandwiched in between a crisp white midsole unit, the model is finished off with perforations on the toe box to enhance breathability.

Priced at $90, you can purchase a pair at select Nike stockists now.

You can?t go wrong with this silhouette. Especially in these Jordan-inspired colorways. I?m a fan of the colorway in general and these should be sought after.

Following the release of the Brave Blue aka Eric Avar colorway, the second variation of three, from the Nike Kobe 11 Muse Pack is now highlighted, this time featuring heralded designer, Tinker Hatfield.

Certain elements of Bryant’s favorite sneaker — the Air Jordan 3 — are reinterpreted in this second variation, such as its overall color blocking, perforations in the lower tongue and bold red embroidery situated on the heel and tongue. Furthermore, for a unique touch, a sharkskin-inspired heel counter is applied as a tribute to Bryant?s fearlessness and appreciation for the creature.

Look for this latest pair at select Nike accounts worldwide starting Thursday, May 5th. Stay tuned in for the remaining shoe designed by Mark Parker.

I’ve shared before that I’m a fan of the model’s design. The inspiration for this colorway is cool and the execution is solid. I’m sure it’ll garner a lot of attention.

The post The Nike Kobe 11 Tinker Muse Debuts Next Week appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The second leg of the Nike Kobe 11 “Muse” Pack continues with this sublime design by Tinker Hatfield, who clearly channels the spirit of Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan 3. Kobe Bryant calls the Air Jordan 3 his favorite Air Jordan shoe of all-time, so it’s a fitting application of AJ3 on the Kobe 11, which makes use of signature details like the grey leather tongue and the Nike logo on the heel. Kobe, who has been a fan of Air Jordans since childhood, notes Tinker’s simplicity and ability to listen to the athlete as the keys to his design achievements. Furthermore, Kobe compares himself to Michael Jordan in that their drives for success were different despite achieving the same outcomes.

The Nike Kobe 11 “Tinker Hatfield” releases next Thursday, May 5th, at select Nike Basketball retailers around the globe. Get a look at the official images as well as an insightful video with Tinker below.

The latest edition of the Nike Air Max 1 this year will pay tribute to its origins.

Flaunting a classic colorway overall, white consists as its dominant tone across its leather overlays and sole unit, while beige and grey accents are evidenced on the mesh/suede toe box, collar, inner lining and tongue.

Additionally, touches of black evident with the Swooshes, tongue branding and the defining theme on the heels pronounce the design even more. 1987 is the year the silhouette was originally released.

A release date for this particular pair has yet to be announced but stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for further updates.

It’s hard to believe that the Nike Air Force 1 Low and Air Jordan 1 were only a few years apart, each shoe creating a dynamic change to basketball footwear history. The Nike Air Force 1‘s staying power as an iconic lifestyle selection is a testament to the simplicity of the design and Nike Sportswear’s ability to continue to push enticing colorway offerings like this summer’s upcoming J-Pack featuring translations of the AJ1’s most sought after OG looks. The “Royal” pair accomplishes this feat thanks to a combination of Star Blue leather panels and a black base for a nod at Nike’s early basketball progression. Be sure to check out more on-feet looks below and let us know if you plan on picking up a pair when these drop later in May 2016.

Not too long we took a look at the official images of this new Black and White colorway of the Nike Free Inneva Woven.

If you happen to be a fan of this Nike Sportswear runner then we have more images to show you of that same colorway. Looking at the shoe we can see that the entire woven upper is done in black including the branding on the tongue, laces and inner liner. The heel has been done in suede to add a luxury feel to the shoe. Down below we have a contrasting white Nike Free 5.0 sole to complete the look.

Arriving at select Nike retailers now, do you plan on picking up this colorway of the Nike Free Inneva Woven?

I’ve always admire the Nike Free Inneva Woven from afar but I’ve never actually tried on a pair. I would maybe consider picking up a pair but not in this colorway.

The Nike Roshe Daybreak NM Ying Yang Pack will consist of two tonal iterations of the model coming in all-white and all-black. Let’s take a closer look at the shoes that make up the pack.

The first pair come in all-white contrasted by the hits of black placed on the heel tab and Nike Swoosh. Leather accents are placed on the front of the toe and heel. A white NM sole completes the look. The second pair comes in all-black offset by the hits of white placed on the heel tab and Nike Swoosh. Suede hits are placed on the front of the toe and heel. A white NM sole also completes the look of this shoe. Two completely opposite looks, it’s up to you to decide which pair you like the most. Hot or not? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.

This a version of the Roshe that I stay away from. It has too much of a Cortez look for me to like it.

Earlier today we gave you a detailed look at all SIX colorways of the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit that are scheduled to make their debut later this week.

Here is a first look at another colorway that will also be releasing, just not this week. This new and improved version of the popular runner from Nike comes with a new Flyknit upper that is sure to attract the attention of many people. The colorway that you see above comes dressed in a White Flyknit upper with vibrant Racer Blue accents landing on the toe, the cage system on the side panels and heel, and the branding on the tongue and toe. A Midnight navy midsole with contrasting White accents complete the look on this upcoming Ultra Flyknit Presto.

One of the nice colorways I’ve seen yet. I just wish the Race Blue accents would have been replaced with more Midnight Navy. Oh well, I’m sure there’s plenty more colorways that will release.

Nike is bringing back yet another classic sneakers to celebrate the 2016 Summer Olympics.

This time it’s not a basketball sneaker but instead it’s a classic Nike runner with the Nike Air Pegasus ’92. This USA/Olympic colorway of the Air Pegasus 92 features a predominantly white upper with blue, red and gold accents. This pair also differentiates itself from the original Pegasus 92 as it features a fused upper for that modern look.

No word on an exact release date yet but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I’m not a fan of the Air Pegasus 92 but the Olympic colorway makes the shoe look good. My favorite detail is the touch of gold on the heel counter that gives the sneaker a nice pop.

The Nike Air Max 90 goes ultra premium for this upcoming version featuring an all-leather upper and woven paneling in place of the mudguards. The luxe construction for the shoe in soft and supple leather with the unique woven mudguards will unfortunately come with a large price tag, as the Air Max 90 Woven will set you back $250. Take a look at the all-black colorway with a contrasting white sole here and contemplate if any Air Max 90 is worth that much to you. If the answer is yes, pick them up at select Nike Sportswear retailers beginning April 29th.

If there was one Charles Barkley signature shoe that I would consider adding to my collection it would probably be this one. There’s so much history behind this shoe in this specific colorway.

Every now and then there’s a sneaker colorway that, though inadvertent, seems to be specifically designed with a sports team in mind. For example, this upcoming version of the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit with a color scheme that should have any basketball fan thinking of the Dallas Mavericks. Even if you’re not a Mavs fan, this look for the all-new Flyknit construction of the Presto might very well have you interested anyway, with its white and black woven upper sporting Racer Blue and Midnight Navy for accents throughout. Is this the prefect sneaker to stylishly match with your Dirk Nowitzki (or maybe J.J. Barea?) jersey? Expect them at select Nike Sportswear retailers soon.
