A few days ago we gave you a first look at the Nike Air Force 1 Low 07 LV8 Woven coming in a black upper paired up with a white sole unit. Today we take a look at the same model but this time we find it dressed in a royal blue upper paired up with hits of white placed throughout the shoe.

This version of the Air Force 1 Low comes equipped with woven nylon construction hits strategically placed on the side panels and toebox of the shoe. The rest of the shoe comes constructed out of leather coming in a royal blue colorway. The same tonal hue appears on the midsole which sits right above the all white outsole. Additional white hits are spotted on the branding seen on the tongue, heel tab and midsole. Lastly, patent leather can be seen on the tongue tag, heel tab and Nike Swoosh on the shoe. Available now, pick up your very own pair at select retailers for $100.

Author’s Take

Good looking shoe, but what would make it look great is if you substitute the white outsole for a gum bottom. The woven placement is nice, I could do without the patent leather hits though. I do prefer the black colorway over this one though.

This one goes out for the small-footers looking to add some pop to your footwear. The Nike Air Force 1 Mid GS Hyper Pink comes dressed in a bold colored upper that will definitely cause some people some people to do a double take.

The mid-top is constructed out of a smooth leather coming in white and Hyper Pink hues. The white is placed on the toebox and side panels, while the bolder color of the two takes care of the rest of the upper. A white midsole/Hyper Pink outsole combination blends in nicely with the upper. Nike branding is placed on the side panels, heel tab and tongue of the shoe. Nothing else to say, just a bold looking AF1 Mid with some clean color-blocking. Available now for $85, how many of you are looking to pick up a pair?

GS release or not, I would not be picking these up even if it came in my size. Not much of a pink sneaker guy, and putting it on the Air Force 1 does nothing to me.

Continuing with the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack we now give you an official look at the Nike Kobe 5 from the extensive collection.

The Nike Kobe 5 marks the second consecutive low-top shoe in the Nike Kobe line that weighed in at an astonishing 10.6 ounces making it the lightest Kobe sneaker to that point. Some features of the Kobe 5 include a Hyperfuse upper done in Tumbled Grey and Flywire for lock-down support on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe. Kobe Bryant also won his 2nd consecutive and 5th overall NBA Championship wearing these shoes which would go on to be his final one.

Take a look at the official images above and let us know if you plan on picking up the Nike Kobe 5 Black Mamba when it hits retailers on April 4th for $200. And if you haven’t already make sure you visit our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for released details, official images and other important updates on every sneaker from this pack.

Author’s Take

I know many people that say that the Kobe 5 is their favorite Kobe silhouette of all time. I’m not exactly sure why but if I had to take a guess I would say because of how lightweight and comfortable it must be. The colorway on this pair is not bad but I think Nike could have done better.

There are two sneakers in the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack that aren’t part of Kobe Bryant’s real signatures line, the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 and the Nike Hyperdunk 2008.

The Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 already released yesterday and next week we’ll be seeing the release of the Hyperdunk 2008. Kobe debuted the Hyperdunk 2008 during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing which is why they are closely attached to him. This colorway form the Black Mamba Pack features a tonal dark grey upper with lighter hits of grey on the Swoosh branding and gold detailing on the insoles.

Look for the Nike Hyperdunk 2008 Black Mamba to release on March 28th for $200. Also check our the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for updates on all of the releases.

The Hyperdunk 2008 has a classic look that will always be remembered by fans of the Hyperdunk line. Even eight years after its debut this is my favorite Hyperdunk of them all.

Over the years we’ve seen several hybrid versions of the Nike Air Max 95, but none have been this odd looking as the footwear you see above. Simply dubbed the Nike Air Max 95 Boot Empire, this boot version of the classic runner is here to celebrate Nike Air Max Day.

The Nike Air Max 95 Empire will feature a modern cut-out design placed on a black tonal upper made out of a combination of suede, leather and mesh. The black silhouette is partnered up with a white sole unit that also comes equipped with Air bubbles to keep the classic aesthetics of the Air Max 95. Release date and price of the boot should be available in the next few days but expect these to drop on or around Nike Air Max Day (March 26th).

Author’s Take

Although it’s not official yet, there’s a good chance that the boots will be made exclusively for the women. If that is in fact true, that makes sense since I just can’t see a lot of guys wear these.

Ben Simmons isn’t partaking in any of the March Madness basketball, but that only means he has more time to make some personal business moves – like signing with Klutch Sports Agency. Founded by LeBron’s close friend and entourage member Rich Paul, Klutch Sports Agency features an impressive and growing roster of NBA athletes, but there’s no doubt that Simmons, projected to be the #1 pick this upcoming NBA Draft in June, will jump to the top of the list. Now that Simmons’ representation is set in stone, all that’s left to be determined is what NBA team gets the lucky #1 pick, and which footwear brand gains his allegiance. Nike is a frontrunner not only because of the Klutch connection, but because of the longstanding relationship he has with the brand (not to mention the selection of apparel in his official video announcement that went live earlier today).

Are you looking for a classic sneaker that has some premium aesthetics to it? Look no more as the NikeLab Air Max 1 Royal is dropping this weekend. For the most part, the Nike Air Max 1 is a very casual/sporty type of sneaker, this time around NikeLab gets a hold of it and gives the shoe a premium makeover.

The Air Max 1 Royal opts to take the luxurious route without having to sacrifice the blueprint of the shoe. The shoe is made out of a deconstructed suede upper coming dressed in a monochromatic motif. Adding more premium flares to the shoes are the tonal waxed cotton laces, a leather heel cup on the interior and a matching welt that unites the upper with the sole of the shoe. A black/white and tan/white version is set to release at NikeLab retailers beginning March 26th. Want a pair? Act fast as this release is said to be dropping in limited quantities.

Author’s Take

It looks pretty clean. The deconstructed suede look is something I’m not used to seeing on the upper, but it actually works quite well.

Sweet Sixteen hoops kicks off tomorrow night and you can bet that the Duke Blue Devils are ready for the round of 16 with some brand new PEs straight from Nike. Today, Duke Blue Planet revealed some behind-the-scenes footage of the young squad, led by Brandon Ingram, totally geeking out over their latest delivery from the brand. Inside the special edition boxes is the Nike KD 8 in a super-clean white/blue, with the “Always Reppin'” tagline and message included in each unit. Don’t count on these to hit stores, but expect all of Nike’s remaining teams in the big dance to receive similar packages.

Remember how the super limited “Marty McFly” edition of the Nike Bruin celebrating Back to the Future Day disappeared faster than the DeLorean after it hits 88 miles per hour? Well, if you missed out and actually wanted the shoe for reasons other than the hype, this next release of the Bruin should be a pretty nice consolation prize. The shoe appears once again in its construction accurate to early 1980’s-era Bruins, with a leather upper and cup sole. This colorway features a white leather base with Photo Blue accents for a classic color block. The Nike Bruin QS will arrive at select global Nike Sportswear retailers on March 26th.

Since 2014, the month of March has been all about Air Max . The inception of Air Max Day has allowed the brand to focus on its most iconic innovation in history by throwing some dope events (Air Max Con) and releasing some great shoes like the Air Max Zero and much more. Flying somewhat on the under the radar is the Air Max 1 Royal, a super-premium build of the classic ’87 release built with seamless suede uppers and a unique foxing that wraps around the heel. We showed you a black colorway, but it appears that a tan version will also be available at European retailers on March 26th, 2016. We’ll let you know when and if these hit stateside, so in the meantime, familiarize yourself with this brand new colorway.

It’s safe to say that Flyknit transformed Kobe Bryant’s signature line more than any other technology. The woven material was first introduced atop the Nike Kobe 9 Elite and trickled down until it became the standard construction in this year’s Nike Kobe 11. The Back Mamba only has a few weeks of his professional career left before calling it quits, so it’s the perfect time for Nike Basketball to introduce their upcoming “Black Mamba” Pack that focuses on “The Flyknit Era”. Ominous monochromatic offerings ranging from an all Anthracite, Dark Obsidian, and Black/Metallic Gold improve the three Flyknit silhouettes for a premium affair. The Kobe 10 Elite Low and Kobe 11 do feature some subtle pops like a semi-translucent outsole unit on the 10, and a luxurious leather Swoosh selection on the 11. Each pair will hit retailers on April 11th for $200. Check out more photos below and let us know if you’re a fan of the trio by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

The ladies get a new premium edition of the Nike Air Huarache this spring, with a feature you’ve never seen before on the iconic 1991 running shoe. The colorway stays neutral in off-white and gum tones?that’s nothing new?but it does get a unique wavy texture across the suede panels across the upper. The subtly different women’s Air Huarache is arriving now at select Nike Sportswear retailers overseas, so expect them soon in the US.

With a twist on the classic Orlando Magic color scheme, the Nike Air Penny 2 is releasing in a once-rare colorway for the masses.

Officially scheduled to drop on April 8th, it looks like some sneaker shops like Rock City Kicks are already getting their pairs in.

The Nike LeBron 13 Easter is set to drop on March 25 as part of Nike Basketball Easter collection that also includes new colorways of the Nike Kyrie 2, Nike Kobe 11 and Nike KD 8. The LeBron 13 is cleanest of the bunch with its white upper and minimal pastel egg graphic that can be found on the swoosh and lining. It can work as a springtime pair but really, you rock it anytime of the year. At $200, it’s a bit pricy, so will you buy, pass or wait for a price drop on these? Let us know in the comments below…
