Renowned streetwear brand Supreme will once again be joining forces with Nike for yet another footwear collaboration. This time around the collaboration will be focusing on none other than the Nike Air Zoom Courtposite.

The Nike Air Zoom Courtposite made its debut in the early 2000s. Made to be worn by tennis players, many of them, including Andre Agassi, refused to wear them because the Foamposite’s mold is inherently difficult to break in. Fast forward to 2023, the Nike Air Zoom Courtposite, this time marketed as more of a lifestyle/fashion sneaker.

The Supreme x Nike Air Zoom Courtposite Pack will release in your choice of Metallic Gold, Black or White. The Metallic Gold pair was unveiled by tennis pro and Nike athlete Carlos Alcaraz. The model will retain its original design while also introducing Supreme branding into the molded upper. This pair is given a Metallic Gold upper contrasted by the Black accents throughout. The Black pair and the White pair opts for a more subtle approach as each respective tonal upper is gently contrasted by the Red hits found on the branding throughout, highlighted by the Supreme branding on the tongues. All that being said, it remains unknown if the Nike Air Zoom Courtposite will be releasing in-line colorway, or if the return is limited to this Supreme collaboration.

The Supreme x Nike Air Zoom Courtposite Pack has no official release date yet, but you can expect them to release sometime during the Fall season at select retailers and Nike SNKRS for the retail price of $150.

In Nike news, is the Nike Kobe 6 Protro Reverse Grinch the most anticipated release of this upcoming holiday season?

Where has the time gone?! We find it hard to believe that Kevin Durant is on the verge of releasing his 16th signature sneaker with Nike. First unveiled a few months back, today we give you a look at the Nike KD 16 in the Triple Red colorway.

The Nike KD 16 shares some similarities with the Nike KD 14 as it opts for a low-cut build that features a textured multi-layer mesh on the forefoot and heel while a synthetic mudguard is shown wrapping around the entire model. Nike has yet to officially announce the tech specs of the sneaker but we expect that to be unveiled shortly as well. What we do see if a brand new TPU caging system that features ventilation on both lateral and medials sides as well as blending onto the forefoot?s split midsole. We also spot Zoom Air cushioning, KD branding on the tongue tabs, and a Swoosh on the lateral ankle. This Triple Red iteration arrives in an official color scheme listed as Ember Glow, University Red, and Light Fusion Red. As the colorway of the sneaker suggests, this pair is covered in Red hues from top to bottom.

Retailing for $160, the Nike KD 16 Triple Red is now available on Nike.com. For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Nike KD 16 Triple Red.

UPDATE (9/26): The Nike KD 16 Triple Red is now available on Nike.com for the retail price of $160. Per Nike:

“Kevin Durant is a true hooper. He’d be just as happy running pickup all afternoon as he would be dropping 40-pieces in the playoffs. When your avid appetite for the game can?t be satisfied, lace up in the KD16?s. Nike Air and Zoom Air work together to provide speed and stability for all four quarters, while the upper is lower and the overall load is lighter compared to the previous iteration. It’s ideal for the hoopaholic who can?t say no to just one more game.”

UPDATE (9/19): Official images of the Nike KD 16 “Triple Red” which is currently expected to release October 2023.

Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies took on the Minnesota Timberwolves during the first round of last year’s NBA playoffs. In true Patrick Beverley fashion, the former Minnesota Timberwolf player had plenty to say about the Memphis Grizzlies. In response, Ja Morant clapped back with this unforgettable statement: ?We ain?t avoiding any challenges. We embrace them head-on.? This exchange led to the creation of the latest colorway of the Nike Ja 1, the Nike Ja Smoke.

Done in a Black/Light Silver-Coconut Milk-Vivid Sulfur color scheme, the Nike Ja 1 features a predominantly Black upper that is constructed out of a breathable mesh and durable leather. The tonal upper is then broken up by the  Grey marbling accents on the TPU Swoosh logos, while Ja Morant’s logo is housed on the mismatched tongues and insoles. Other design details include the number ?12? embroidered on the heel and of course the highlight of the sneaker is the Ja Morant?s handwritten rendition of the famous phrase, “We ain’t ducking no smoke” phrase on the lateral side of the heel. A Coconut Milk rubber sole rounds out the main features of the sneaker.
