Released in limited quantities at retail, the shoe has become rare and forgotten in the passing years. Take a look at them to refresh your memory?or get acquainted for the first time?and if you’re the ultimate Steph Curry fan, you can pick them up now via eBay.

Flyknit construction is Nike’s bread and butter. Put it on virtually any model and it makes it better. Nike tried doing this on the Air Force 1, and the show was greeted with positive reviews. Now Nike plans on doing the same thing to the Nike Air Max 1. Here is your first look at the Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit Ultra.

For the first time ever, the Nike Air Max 1 comes constructed with an upper using Flyknit material. Above you will see a few different tonal colorways, all utilizing the Flyknit construction on the upper. Accompanying the Flyknit upper is the Hyperfuse mudguard and the Flywire cables to give you that customized fit. Just like the Air Force 1 Flyknit, the sole of the Air Max 1 is said to come cored-out to make it much more lighter than your average Air Max 1. Said to be dropping in the coming season in a handful of different tonal colorways, let us know if you’re looking forward to this brand new version of the Air Max 1.

I’m pretty pumped about this version of the AM1. I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten the same reception as the AF1 Flyknit when it got leaked. The fact that the shoe’s sole will also be cored-out makes me very interested in picking up a pair. Can’t wait.

The Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit is off to a great start. We’ve already been able acquire a handful of colorways both in the low-top and mid-top version. Up next is a Game Royal colorway that has the Flyknit mid-top dressed in a Game Royal and Black Flyknit construction.

The lightest and most comfortable AF1 of all time comes dressed in the aforementioned Game Royal and Black Flyknit upper. Hits of black leather can be spotted on the Nike Swoosh, tongue, ankle strap and heel of the shoe. Embossed branding is placed on the tongue and heel tab to give the shoe a nice premium touch. Down low you will find a white carved-in sole unit that helps make this the lightest AF1 ever created. Available at the end of the month, how many of you are looking to pick up a pair?

It’s probably not the first model that you would have guessed would receive an updated Flyknit construction, but now that you’ve seen it, you realize it definitely was a great option.

The Nike Kobe 11 is the last signature shoe that Kobe will ever wear as an NBA player, so it’s only right that one of the colorways released pays homage to the high school he came from. Today we get our first look at the Nike Kobe 11 Lower Merion.

Since Kobe Bryant went from high school straight to the NBA, he has no college alma mater. So Lower Merion High School is officially considered his alma mater. The high school inspired colorway dons the team’s colors which consist of grey and white with hits of maroon. Notable features on the shoe include the Aces logo/branding on the heel, and the fact that Nike decided to utilize engineered mesh on the upper instead of the customary Flyknit construction. If you’re diggin’ the look of the shoe you will soon be able to pick it up as it’s slated to release on April 9th (internationally) for the retail price of $160.

Not really sure why the decided to construct the shoe using engineered mesh opposed to Flyknit. The show would have looked 10x better it it was done with Flyknit.

Nike Air Huarache Run releases just keep coming with no signs of stopping any time soon. This time around the colorway on the Hatfield creation is part subtle and part bold. Did we mention that it also comes with elephant print?

The upper comes in a tonal light brown colorway. The light brown is offset by the hits of ghost green placed on the back end of the heel counter as well as on the branding on the tongue. The subtle looking elephant print is placed on the toe and side panels of the shoe to help give it an added dimension. Off-white placed on the heel cage and midsole complete the look. Price at $120, you can now pick up a pair at select retailers.

Author’s Take

The elephant print hits are dope on the shoe. Tinker created the model AND print so to me it goes hand in hand. I like the concept, just not in this particular colorway. Looking forward to seeing more Huaraches rocking the elephant print.

Check out this brand new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11. Dubbed the Nike Kobe 11 Tinker, the colorway of the shoe is created by Tinker Hatfield, the inspiration behind the shoe is said to stem from a certain Air Jordan model we all know and love.

The first images of the shoe show the Kobe 11 coming in a makeup consisting of Grey, Black and Red on the upper, with white placed on the sole of the shoe. Does this makeup remind you of a particular Air Jordan? Try the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement. Reassuring us that this is in fact a colorway created by Tinker is the dual collaborative signature branding placed on the inside of the tongue. Said to be dropping May 5th for $200, is this considered a must-cop in your opinion?

Author’s Take

This will definitely be one of the most talked about colorway on the Kobe 11. I’d like to see more images of the shoe, but from this angle it looks pretty good.
