The Nike Mayfly is back and it has to be one of the strangest creations that Nike has ever made. Created for long distance runners, this model was build to only last an average of 100km. Let me explain.

A while back, Nike created a shoe for long distance runner that is so lightweight and flexible that it usually doesn’t last past 100km before it starts “self-destructing” and falling apart. Making its initial debut back in 2004, the Mayfly will make its return this year debuting in three tonal offerings consisting of blue, black and red graphic uppers paired up with white accents and a white sole unit. Set to drop in the near future, are you interested in picking up pair? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

While the creative design process is “different”, I want to get the most bag for my buck. If this shoe is going to give out after 100km (62+ miles), I really don’t think it’s worth purchasing unless I’m running a important marathon or race or something of that nature.

For the most part, the states (US) hardly ever gets to see releases of the Air Max Plus arrive at our local retailers. Nike usually makes the model a AU exclusive and this pair is no different. If you don’t mind taking the extra steps to acquire these sneakers, these could also be yours. Let’s take a look at the Nike Air Max Plus Chili Pepper.

The shoe comes in a red gradient fade accompanied by the patent leather hits found on the toe of the shoe. White branding appears on the side panels, tongue and heel of the shoe, wile the tonal Air Max equipped sole unit and laces tie up the monochromatic look together. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts down low.

Author’s Take

The colorway looks really nice on the shoe. Opting to go for the tonal look was a good decision by Nike. Although we hardly ever see these stateside, I wouldn’t mind owning a pair.

The Nike Air Max 2016 has been one of the more interesting installments of the Swoosh’s flagship visible air-wielding model. Sure, the combination of an engineered mesh upper, dynamic flywire, and a 360-degree air max outsole has been the standard for the past three years, but here the placement of the Swoosh and minimalist design cues make this silhouette a subtle and complex must-have. Today we get a look at an angelic all-white rendition, one that features 3M hints on the exposed flywire support system and forefoot Swoosh to perfectly coincide with an icy outsole. What do you think of this Air Max 2016? Check out more below and we’ll keep you up to date on the latest NSW updates right here on Sneaker News.

As each week goes by, we inch closer and closer to the end of Kobe Bryant’s magnificent career that spans two decades with one team. The argument regarding where Kobe stands among the all-time greats will be a never-ending one, so it’s better to enjoy the occasion rather than waste time analyzing a career that has produced endless accolades and five NBA championships. This upcoming purple/gold colorway of the Kobe 11 is indeed a “Eulogy” to Kobe’s career – one that will be remembered as long as the game of basketball goes on. Get your hands on the Nike Kobe 11 “Eulogy” on February 27th at select Nike Basketball retailers worldwide.

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.

Author’s Take

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.

The past couple of years have brought us Foamposites that seem like they were inspired by colorways that were first seen on the Nike Air Yeezy 2.

Now for 2016 we’ll be seeing the release of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro in a Pure Platinum colorway that resembles the Pure Platinum Yeezy 2s. Looking at the shoe we can see that Pure Platinum dominates the foam shell upper while a Bright Crimson inner liner and green glow-in-the-dark outsoles finish things off.

This Pure Platinum Nike Air Foamposite Pro is expected to release on March 12th for $250.

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.

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.

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.

I’m not a fan of any of these teams so I wouldn’t buy any of these sneakers. I’m still waiting on the DeMar DeRozan PEs to drop. Where they at tho?

A Sneak Peak At The Nike KD 8 Aunt Pearl

The Nike KD 8 Aunt Pearl Drops This Weekend

Author’s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: I’ve never really been a fan of pink sneakers but the message and inspiration behind this colorway makes it a pair worth having. Having said that I don’t expect to pick up a pair for myself.

The post Nike KD 8 Aunt Pearl appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Set to release on February 22, the Nike KD 8 Aunt Pearl is a reminder of the importance that Kevin Durant places on family. Going several years strong, the KD Aunt Pearl series pays homage to Durant’s late aunt who lost a battle to cancer years ago. Her memory has far from faded as Durant and Nike want the world to know her story and just how much he meant to the NBA superstar with these yearly floral kicks. And with a portion of the sales of the shoes going to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, it’s also for a good cause.

Over the years, all footwear brands have made it common to give some of their retro model a revamped look and feel. Whether it’s using new technology or an upgrade of materials, odds are that one of your favorite classic models have been revamped in one way or another. The latest example of this is the Nike Internationalist KJCRD. Let’s take a closer look.

The Internationalist will feature a textile upper paired up with Hyperfuse overlays and Nike branding on the tongue and leather heel tab. Below you will find a Phylon-injected midsole connected to the black waffle out sole. The new look of the shoe gives it a lighter and more modern feel, right? This brand new version of the Internationalist will debut in two different colorways, black/white and black/bright crimson. Priced at $185, what do you think of the Internationalist KJCRD?

Author’s Take

I like this new look on the shoe. I’m just wondering if it would look better if it didn’t come with the striped upper. What do you think?
