Previously showcasing its upcoming Obsidian colorway in closer detail, an overview of the Nike Roshe Waffle Racer NM in a variety of finishes is revealed, as they’re all scheduled to drop in July.

Featuring a combination of two-tone iterations that consist of royal blue/maize, white/black, red/black, light blue/white, black/white, dark green/volt and grey/black — the silhouette is essentially a blend of the iconic Waffle Racer that first debuted in 1974 and the popular Roshe.

Maintaining its runner profile intact, you can find these offerings at select Nike accounts starting July, for a price tag of $125 each.

I?m always a fan of runners and I like how the blend of these two designs came out. I?m just biased I guess. These colorways are pretty solid and versatile as well.

It looks like Nike will be adding a few more colorways to their Nike Dunk High Be True To Tour School Collection.

After seeing the Kentucky, UNLV, Michigan and St. John’s colorways already release this year, we’ll be able to add a couple more schools to the list. Syracuse will be once again releasing their pair which comes in white and orange as well as Arizona which features a navy and white color scheme.

No release date is available yet but peep the images that show the two upcoming releases along with a black Bruin and a new Nike runner. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

All of the Nike Dunks from the Be True have come with some amazing quality so it’s cool to see more colorways releasing.

First it was Nike. Then it was adidas. Now it’s Nike, again. What’s it going to be Ben?! Potential #1 NBA Draft Pick, Ben Simmons has yet to decide what shoe deal he is going to sign. Will it be with Nike? Or will it be with adidas? The latest news suggest that he will soon be a part of the Nike family.

Shams Charania at The Vertical reports that Simmons is close to signing a multi year endorsement deal with Nike. It was also reported that Nike had to give Simmons more money than what they expected and more money that what they usually tend to give an upcoming NBA rookie in order for him to sign with them. Do you believe the latest reports or do you think Simmons will take his talents to the Three Stripes?

Nike has done it again. The Swoosh has just locked up what is expected to be the #1 overall pick in the upcoming 2016 NBA Draft, Ben Simmons.

Simmons played for LSU this past year and is expected to be drafted #1 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers. After hearing offers from both adidas and Nike, Simmons has decided that he’ll join LeBron, KD and Kyrie at Nike in what is being reported as a multiyear deal. There is no specifics on how much the deal is worth yet, but is is believed to be one of the largest rookie deals for Nike.

Do you think we’ll see a Ben Simmons signature sneaker in the future?

Another new version of the Nike Air Force 1 High has surfaced, and this one appears to be a great option for the hot seasons. The Nike Air Force 1 High Perforated Pack transforms the high-top sneaker into a pair of high-tops you won’t mind wearing during this Summer.

While the shoe still comes constructed out of a leather upper, the change lies in the micro-perforations added to the entire upper of the shoe. Another feature we are barely able to see from this angle is the use of a basketball logo placed on the heel region. Two toned looks make up the shoes you see above as Univeristy Red / White, Black / White and White /Black colorways create the motifs of the shoes. Thoughts on the new look? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I usually don’t wear Nike Air Force 1 Highs during the Summer. Instead of getting a pair with micro-perforations, I’d rather pick up the low-top version.

The Nike Air Rift is one of the most unorthodox sneakers in the history of kicks. Thanks to the split-toed sandal-like design and the large portion of your foot that is visible on the upper, people have either learned to love or hate it. There’s really no in-between.

For those of you that are fans of the Air Rift, you might be interested to know that Nike has created a new and improved version of the sandal sneaker with the Nike Air Rift Breathe. The Air Rift Breathe is now made up of environmentally friendly mesh with an extra-large perforation pattern for a cooling Summer style.

Ladies and men can look for a variety of colorways of the Nike Air Rift Breathe to release on June 9th for $100.

I could care less what materials are used on the shoe. I think it’s ugly no matter the color or materials. But to each his own.

it’s official: Ben Simmons, the LSU standout and projected number one overall pick in the upcoming 2016 NBA draft, is signing with Nike. Terms of the agreement haven’t been disclosed, but it’s clear that Nike had to pony up more than they are typically comfortable with giving a rookie, regardless of the promising future. Nike and adidas were engaged in a bidding war for quite some time, with Simmons appearing in public in adidas gear, but it was presumed that Simmons was Nike’s to lose as they were always the frontrunner given the young star’s affiliation with Klutch Sports Group. Will Simmons get his own signature shoe? All signs point to yes.

We already got a first look at the Nike Hyperdunk 2016, now we put our focus on the upcoming Nike Hyperdunk 2016 Low. While many of the features appear to remain the same, the only obvious alteration is the cut of the shoe.

This version of the low-top Hyperdunk comes in a mesh constructed upper paired up with Flywire for additional stability and support. The sole unit will come with Zoom units on the heel and forefoot region. Black uppers appear on all three univeiled colorways, while Blue, Red and Yellow act as the accented colorway. No other information has been provided but stay tuned as I’m sure images and tech specs are right around the corner.

I usually opt to go with a low-top sneaker opposed to a high top, but I actually like the high-top version more when it comes to this model, especially the Flyknit version.

Blurring the lines more than ever before between a high performance running shoe and a stylish casual sneaker, the innovative Nike Zoom All Out Flyknit is ready to impress both the running and fashion camps when it drops later this month. The running shoe featuring a mid-top Flyknit upper and full-length visible Zoom Air gets its most stylish look we’ve seen yet, with this all black edition featuring solid black Flyknit with reflective Swooshes. While the upper is nothing but black, the visible Zoom is highlighted with Volt and a clear outsole so everybody knows what’s going on under the hood. Preview the “Triple Black” Zoom All Out Flyknit here, and expect all launch colorways of the anticipated shoe to release at Nike.com and select Nike Running retailers very soon.

On April 13, 2016, Kobe Bryant played his final NBA game and scored 60 points in a virtuoso performance because of course he did; he was going to try and top every final game by a superstar athlete ever and amazingly enough, he succeeded. Meanwhile, sneakerheads on that same day flooded Staples Center’s Nike Vault for a shot at the Black Mamba Pack and NIKEiD to order the limited edition Mamba Day graphic. One of the fastest – if not the fastest – selling NIKEiD options ever offered, demand for the Mamba Day graphic was so great that the wait time went from the usual 30 days or less to 2-3 months. When I placed my order, the original estimate was sometime in July.

Well, at least it was going to arrive right around my birthday, right?

Imagine my surprise when the kicks arrived today weeks ahead of schedule. We unboxed the package live on our Facebook page and the reaction ranged from sadness over not getting them to others still waiting for their pair to arrive. Glad I got mine, I guess…

After wearing the Nike Air Zoom Generation Rookie Of The Year during practice for Game 1 and an all-red Nike Zoom LeBron 4 PE during practice for Game 2, today LeBron was spotted wearing the Nike Zoom LeBron 3 in an alternate All Star PE colorway.

This isn’t the first time that LeBron brings out this specific pair as he also wore it against the Boston Celtics back in April. This LeBron 3 features a white upper with grey/silver detailing throughout.

Summer has been transformed by a number of lightweight, breathable woven running models for the past few years, so it’s a strange time for Bruce Kilgore’s iconic Nike Air Force 1 High, usually a pair reserved for the fall and winter seasons to make an appearance in a new collective. Nike Sportswear has updated the model with added micro-perforations and a unique basketball logo on the heel for added interest, as three standard colorways of University Red, Black, and White keep things simple. The AF1 High has seen a remastered renaissance of its own lately, with a dedication to quality and craftsmanship bringing the model back to its glory days with a number of OG looks. What do you think fo the latest color colorways? Expect this trio of perforated Nike Air Force 1s to arrive at retailers later this July.

I’m a fan of the model and this colorway is pretty sweet. It’s a nice homage to the country as well. I like the all-white upper mostly.

Another practice, another classic pair of LeBrons. For Game 3 Finals practice, LeBron James laced up the Nike Zoom LeBron III in a special colorway similar to the “All-Star” version. It features his name printed on the upper of the shoe, with a white/silver unreleased colorway continuing the streak of PEs that LeBron has been wearing for practice. To recap: he wore the Air Zoom Generation “Rookie of the Year” for Game 1 practice, an all-red Zoom LeBron IV PE for Game 2 practice, and now the Zoom LeBron III “All-Star” PE for Game 3. What will he wear for Game 4? Will there even be a Game 5? Tomorrow”s Game 3 outcome will certainly help decide that.
