Flyknit is typically associated with performance and innovation, but the push is now toward revamping old classics with this super-lightweight woven upper. We first saw it hit the Air Force 1 Low and Mid, and this March Nike is bringing Flyknit to the Tennis Classic Ultra, complete with the cored out Ultra sole and leather Swooshes. Expect this unique hybrid to release in red, grey, and more colorways beginning this March; full photos are just ahead.

With the Nike Kobe “Fade To Black” Pack releasing soon, we begin to reminisce about all the great sneaker moments of Kobe’s career. Few stand out like the Nike Zoom Kobe IV, a sneaker that began the mainstream low-top hoops shoe revolution and provided wheels for The Black Mamba to win his fourth NBA Championship. That combination of design innovation and Kobe’s success on the court may deem the Zoom Kobe IV the most significant Kobe sneaker ever created. For the Kobe FTB Pack, Nike opts for a tonal “Dust” Grey and currently the shoes are set for a March 19th release. We’ll bring you official once Nike makes the official announcement.

In late March, Nike Basketball will release “Easter” styles of their signature basketball models inspired by traditional themes and color that often include pastel tones. For the Kobe 11, it appears that Nike is bringing in a multi-colored Flyknit that mimics the earliest versions as it features hits of red, purple, pink, volt, and purple. The elegant Flyknit mix is paired with leather Swooshes and soft lining that adds to the refined look, while small heel-tabs add even more unique flair. If these are in fact the Easter version, look for these to hit stores on March 26th.

Nike’s Back II The Future celebration kicked off not with the Nike Mag, but with the other Marty McFly sneaker, the Nike Bruin. While Tinker and co. promised that the functional power lace-wielding Mags would be arriving to benefit charities in the not-so-distant future, the Nike SB Bruin Premium SE has seen a boost in notoriety since the OG colorway arrived. Now Nike Skateboarding is back with the low-profile silhouette featuring revamped Zoom cushioning, a full-grain leather upper, and simple yet sleek new colorway. A White base is accented by a unique University Red/Blue Spark Swoosh branding while a bold lining is hidden within. What do you think of this pair? Know that it is available today via Nikestore for $90.

In addition to the Nike Air Max BW Ultra that will be making its debut later this week in different colorways for men and women, we’ll also be seeing the return of the Nike Air Max Classic BW in the OG Persian Violet colorway.

Originally debuting in 1991 and designed by the great Tinker Hatfield, the Nike Air Max Classic BW utilized the same Nike Air-Sole unit as the Air Max 90 but enlarged its window. This OG colorway features a Black upper with White and Persian Violet detailing for an eye-catching look.

Look for the Nike Air Max Classic BW OG Persian Violet to launch on March 8 on nike.com and at select Nike retailers worldwide. Do you plan on picking up a pair?

Author’s Take

I appreciate the history behind this silhouette and the fact that Tinker Hatfield designed it, but I’ll just stick with the Air Max 90 instead.

Release Date: April, 2016
Price: $230

Nike is scheduled to bring back some classic OG colorways of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro throughout the year. One of those OG colorways happens to be the Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Red. This OG colorway was originally released in 2002, back when it was known as the Varsity Red colorway. The 2016 version manages to almost mimic the look of the 2002 release with the only minor difference being that the Varsity has been converted to a University Red. The shoe will come with an upper consisting of a University Red foam shell paired up with the Black leather eyestay. Additional hits of black appear on the laces, lining and the Nike Swoosh placed on the side panels of the shoes. Another mini black Swoosh with a red outline appears on the toe and heel of the shoe to complete the aesthetics of the upper. Carbon fiber hits can be seen on both sides of the midsole. Considered to be a fan favorite, don’t expect this tonal colorway of the Foamposite Pro to last too long on the shelves.

Author’s Take

Although it is very bold looking, I’ve never been a fan of any of the Foamposite models. I am not looking forward to buying this in the Spring season, especially not for $230.

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Red is the latest colorway of the shoe set to release to the public. This OG offering initially release back in 2002, and now it’s back once again.

Coming with a University Red foam shell, the tonal look of the upper is paired up with the Black leather eyestay. Additional hits of black can be seen on the laces, lining and most noticeably, the Nike Swoosh on the side panels of the shoe. More Nike branding can be seen by way of the mini black Nike Swoosh on the the toe and heel of the shoes. Rounding out the main features of the shoe are the carbon fiber hits placed on the midsole. Retailing for $230 and releasing sometime in April, is this must-have release?

Nike has decided to bring back the Nike Air Max BW Ultra, and not only did they bring it back they also managed to make it better than the original from 1991. Today we take a look at 4 upcoming bright colorways that are ideal for the Spring season.

The Nike Air Max BW Ultra is known for its breathable upper which is definitely a plus for runners. This new version of the Air Max BW Ultra is retooled to make the shoe lighter and even more breathable than before. Coming in either University Red, Midnight Navy, Black and Enamel Green, all pairs are contrasted by the white Air Max sole unit seen below. Said to be dropping March 3rd, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Author’s Take

I never got a pair when these initially released in ’91 (I was 6 and didn’t care about shoes), but I may just have to get a pair this time around.

Less than two weeks ago we gave you a first look at the Nike KD 8 PB&J, today we have a new picture along with the release date information of the shoe. I have good news and bad news, so let’s get down to it.

The good news is that the Nike KD 8 PB&J  is actually scheduled to release this weekend for $140. The bad news is that the PB&J colorway will only release in kid’s sizing (GS). That means that a lot of us won’t get the chance to own a pair because we won’t be able to fit in them. The PB&J theme is inspired by KD’s favorite childhood snack, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  The shoe comes in a white Flyweave upper with the toe being dipped in grape jelly while the peanut butter being represented by way of the gum bottom outsole. Set to drop March 5th, how many little footers are looking to pick up a pair?

Author’s Take

I’m a bit surprised that these will only release in GS sizing, I have feeling that these would have done well in adult sizes.

Not only do we have the official images of the Nike Air Presto Safari, we also have to release date of the shoe. Covered in the beloved and iconic Safari print, the Nike Air Presto definitely has the classic look to it.

The Presto is done in a neoprene slip-on upper, and this time around the shoe is inspired by the atmos x Nike Air Max 1 Safari collaboration is it’s seen using the same print and colorway as the aforementioned release. The Safari print is placed on the majority of the upper while Kumquat and String Green accents found on the synthetic cage support syste give it the atmos x Nike Air Max 1 Safari vibe. Branding appear on the toe and the contrasting midsole, while the brown laces tie up the entire look together. Releasing March 5th for $130, is this a must cop?

Author’s Take

If it wasn’t for my wide feet, I’d be all over these. I love the Safari look on the shoe, making it one of my all-time favorite Prestos of all time.

It looks like Nike will continue to release Nike Air Max 1 models with the beloved mini Swoosh on the toe. Up next is this white and kumquat colorway that’s subtle yet still manages to make a statement.

The Air Max 1 is done up in a predominantly white/off-white upper made out of a leather and mesh construction. Accompanying the tonal look of the shoe is the safari print placed on the mudguard of the shoe. Adding some color to the shoe is the kumquat colored Nike branding found by way of the large Nike Swoosh on the heel and the mini Swoosh on the toe. Additional kumquat is seen on the top eyelets and insole branding as well. The shoe is finished off by sitting on top of the traditional all-white Air Max 1 sole unit. Said to already be available in Japan, we will let you know if these ever arrive stateside.

Author’s Take

I like the safari and mini Swoosh on the shoe, only problem I have with the shoe is that the safari is too subtle and the color on the branding is not something I usually go for.

NikeLab’s recent tonal leather and white midsole makeover of popular swoosh sneakers continues. Just yesterday the brand unveiled two “Light Charcoal” and “Urban Haze” colorways of the Air Force 1 High and Low, and it looks like the Air Flight ’89 will release alongside them. These two were actually first previewed back in November, but never ended up in stores that month. But if you were looking to cop, you will be happy to hear that the shoe will release this Thursday, March 3rd at NikeLab locations and nike.com/nikelab. This now makes an amazing seven NikeLab colorways of the Air Flight ’89, and expect much more to come in 2016.

The Nike KD Elite was unveiled yesterday and its unique two-piece system took many of us by surprise. We’ve never seen anything quite like it, and of course we were all immediately curious to see what the shoe will look like once you lace them up on your feet. Today we have the first images of the shoe on-feet.

The main new feature on the unconventional KD 8 Elite is the built-in compression sleeve that is attached to actual shoe. Designed to be technically advanced, the shoe also comed equipped with full-length visible Nike Zoom Air cushioning and Flywire technology with Kevlar aramid fiber. The shoe’s design helps “blur the lines between shoe, sock and tight; seamlessly transitioning between each so you can’t differentiate where one begins and the other ends.”

Are you looking to try this pair on for size? If so, you will be able to do pick up this colorway beginning April 14th, while additional colorways will be dropping May 5th and May 26th.

It’s different, but it’s dope. I’m sure it will perform well and the overall look of the shoe is pretty nice.

Nike’s upcoming LeBron 13 release for March 9th dabbles in a bit of biochemistry as it features a logo of some molecule on the heels of the shoes. It may represent C4H6, or Butadiene, which is an important chemical used in the production of synthetic rubber, and as last year’s LeBron 12 “Rubber City” attested to, Akron (LeBron’s hometown) is a city known for its rubber production. These are set for a release next Tuesday, so get a detailed look here and in the meantime, check out the latest on the LeBron 13 Low.
