New Images Of The Nike Air Foamposite Pro Pure Platinum

By SoleInsider

The All Star/Northern Lights Foamposite has come and gone and we can now focus on the next Foamposite release of 2016 which will be the Pro Platinum colorway.

This Pure Platinum Foamposite Pro falls in line with previous pairs that have looked to colorways of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 for inspiration. Even though Nike won’t come out an say it, this Pure Platinum colorway takes inspiration from one of the colorways from the Air Yeezy 2. Pure Platinum and Wolf Grey can be seen dominating the upper while a Bright Crimson inner liner and green glow-in-the-dark outsoles finish things off.

Here are the latest images of the shoe that is scheduled to release on March 12th for $250. Be sure to keep our Nike Air Foamposite Pro Pure Platinum launch page bookmarked to stay up to date with the latest images, videos and other breaking updates.

We know that Nike will not admit that this is another jab at Kanye but we all know the truth. Out of all three colorways that were inspired by the Yeezy 2 this is probably the most wearable and as a result the best. It?ll be a pass for me though.

Say Goodbye To The Black Mambas 20 Year Career With The Nike Kobe 11 Eulogy

By SoleInsider

Previously known as the Nike Kobe 11 8-24, it turns out that this upcoming colorway of the Kobe 11 has been dubbed the Eulogy and draws inspiration from Kobe’s retirement and his glorious career as a Los Angeles Laker.

The definition of eulogy is as follows: “a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly, typically someone who has just died.” While we all know that Kobe is alive and well, he IS saying goodbye to the game of basketball so this sneaker is essentially a send off since he’s retiring. This Kobe 11 comes dressed in a Hyper Grape Flyknit upper with White and Black detailing as well as an icy blue outsole. The heel of the right shoe features the numbers 8 and 24, the numbers that Kobe wore as a member of the Lakers. The left heel is then hit with red stitch detailing.

Look for the Nike Kobe 11 Eulogy to land at retailers on February 27th for a retail price of $200. Will you be picking up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

This is easily a must-have colorway of the Kobe 11 for all fans of the Black Mamba. If you?ve been a fan of Kobe since his #8 days then you?ll truly appreciate the significance of this pair.

Get Your Hands On The Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low In Two Colorways

By SoleInsider

With the weather still being pretty cold in many parts of the country Nike has been focusing on the mid-top versions/colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit. But with the warmer days not too far ahead of us we’re beginning to see the low-top colorways hit retailers as well.

Two of the first colorways that are already available at select Nike retailers are the all-white pair and the black multicolor variation. The all-white pair is pretty much like the OG all-white leather pair but the upper is composed of the lightweight and breathable Flyknit material with leather only hitting the Swoosh, tongue, and heel tab. The other pair features a multicolor Flyknit upper with black detailing on the midsole/outsole, Swoosh, tongue, inner liner, heel tab, laces, and eyestay.

Which one are you feeling more? Let us know down below and look for both pairs at select Nike retailers now.

Author’s Take

That all-white pair looks nice but white Flyknit is a big no-no if you like wearing clean sneakers. The black multicolor pair would be the option that I would go with.

The Nike Air Max 2016 Goes All-White

By SoleInsider

Have you picked up a pair of the Nike Air Max 2016? A handful of different colorways have already released with most of them being of the colorful variety. If you’re the type that’s been waiting for that all-white pair then you won’t have to wait much longer.

Here’s our first look at the Nike Air Max 2016 that’s done in all-white engineered mesh with 3M detailing on the exposed Flywire and Swoosh on the forefoot that shows its true colors when hit by the light. Just like every other Air Max 2016 this pair features the 360-degree air max midsole along with an icy blue translucent outsole.

Is this all-white Nike Air Max 2016 a thumbs up or thumbs down for you? Let us know in the comments below and look for them to hit stateside Nike retailers in the near future.

Author’s Take

I own a pair of the Nike Air Max 2015 and the 2016 is very similar with the only changes being the placement of the Flywire and Swoosh. However this all-white colorway is a dirt trap and would be impossible to keep clean. These will have to be a pass for me.
