Please file under: sneakers that nobody ever expected or asked for, but we’re now glad exist. The soccer-inspired Free Mercurial Flyknit drops the flexible sole and gets a Zoom Air upgrade this summer, with the all-new Zoom Mercurial Flyknit. If that tooling looks familiar, that’s because it’s from the original Zoom Spiridon, the cult-classic Nike runner from 1997 that is rumored to be making a comeback later this year. Making a case for itself as one of Nike’s best mash-up models ever (and there’s been a lot), the Zoom Mercurial Flyknit will debut in this sleek black colorway, featuring an all-black and Anthracite Flyknit upper with premium leather detailing at the heel and a contrasting white midsole. The shoe will debut on June 16th at the Palais of Speed event at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris as part of the celebration of the 2016 Euro football tournament in France. An extremely limited release, the shoe will only be available in a quantity of nine engraved limited editions with bespoke box designed by the French artist Ugo Gattoni. Although the shoe will debut in this limited edition supply, you can expect a general release version of the Zoom Mercurial Flyknit to follow.

Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the greatest baseball players of all-time, so it only makes sense that Nike created an iconic sneaker for “The Kid.”

Pictured above is the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 in the new Varsity Royal colorway that is currently available at retailers right now as you read this. Covered in the bright blue hue throughout the majority of the upper as well as the inner liner, this Griffey Max 1 features bold hits of white on the side panels, midsole, heel, and on the 24 branding on the ankle strap. Black can then be seen on the tongue, midsole, outsole and on the Swoosh by the toe. Lastly we have some vibrant hits of Volt that appear by the toe, on the midsole and on theNike checks on the strap and heel.

If you like what you see then you can find this Varsity Blue colorway of the Air Griffey Max 1 at select Nike retailers right now for $150.

I like the Sprite-esque vibes that this colorway has. Not a bad option to rock this Summer if you want something different.

By now, you know the drill. If you hear the name ACRONYM, you can only expect some sort of transformative collaborative effort that reworks a Nike classic into a high-fashion design that will be as polarizing as it will be sought after. Just look at what happened with the ACRONYM x Nike Lunar Force 1. Now the German label has returned to update the iconic Nike Air Presto for a luxurious twist full of eclectic colors, added supportive overlays, an extended ankle collar, and of course, their purely aesthetic signature zipper addition. A tonal navy colorway was previewed not too long ago featuring subtle wolf grey overlays for a nice touch, but just in case you were searching for something louder, the German lifestyle brand has you covered. Today we get a look at the Presto morphed again thanks to a split Volt and Bright Crimson color selection while a smoky cage is contrasted by the traditional milky white heel. What do you think of the latest ACRONYM x Nike Air Presto? Check out a full view below and we’ll keep you updated on a release date right here on Sneaker News.

If you missed out on a pair the first time around, consider this your “heads up” as we just got word that the highly coveted DSM x NikeLab Roshe Daybreak could soon be getting another release.

When the shoe initially dropped, it did so as a Dover Street Market (DSM) exclusive at the opening in London that took place back in March. The shoe sold out pretty quick, leaving many with broken hearts and shattered dreams. Fear not, as we just got word that the DSM and NikeLab collaborative effort may see an online release on the NikeLab site. While not concrete release date has been provided, there are rumors circulating that the shoe will be releasing on Thursday May 26th (tomorrow!). Keep your eyes peeled!

The classic Nike Air Pegasus ?83 receives a stylish and premium makeover for its latest iteration this Spring 2016, as the iconic runner is treated in Vachettan Tan.

Straying from its usual mesh/nylon construction, the low-top is composed of smooth suede instead, with the defining hue prominent across the entire component, tongue and laces. Another notable design detail consists of lasered perforations across the toe box and side panels to increase ventilation.

All offset nicely atop a crisp white midsole unit, a gum outsole provides a complementing touch to perfectly coordinate with its respective colorway.

Finished off with gold lace tips and embossed branding on the heel tab, you can purchase this model at Nike stores overseas first.

A stateside release should be imminent.

Like I said before, I’m a sucker for runners and especially in this colorway. I haven’t bought this silhouette in a while and this pair will most likely be my newest pickup.

The Be True theme will soon make its presence known on the Nike Air Max Zero. While no images have been provided showing the entire shoe, today we get our first “teaser” of the Nike Air Max Zero Be True.

The Nike Be True collection was created in an effort to support the LGBT community. Most of the shoe rocking the Be True theme usually come with a array of colors, sort of like a rainbow theme. This first image of the Nike Air Max only focuses on the Air sole unit, which happens to be done in Be True fashion. From this angle, the same motif appears to be on the outsole as well. The rest of the shoe (that we’re able to see) comes in White. What do you think the shoe will end up looking like? Let us know in the comments below.

The Nike Internationalist Jacquard returns in two new colorways for Spring/Summer 2016, as the iconic silhouette was originally designed for long distance running.

With this particular revision introduced in 2014, the aim is to create a more lifestyle appeal with the addition of unique designs or patterns across its woven upper. Showcased in classic shades of black and white in a digi camp-like finish, the aesthetic is further exposed by the application of translucent overlays utilized for its eye stays and Swooshes across its side panels.

Further detailed with leather heel tabs and TPU heel counter for additional support, the sneakers are finished of with a rugged rubber sole unit in its respective colorway.

You can purchase the sneakers at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.

I’ll always be an advocate for this silhouette. I’m a fan of the retro profile. These offerings are pretty solid and stylish as well.

Just yesterday we gave you a first look at the newest colorway of the Nike SB Stefan Janoski which is inspired by one of everyone’s favorite foods, pizza!

Today we have learned that this is a collaboration between Nike SB and Skate Mental. The entire upper on this Stefan Janoski is covered in a realistic pizza graphic that looks extremely delicious. In addition to the pepperoni pizza upper we see red land on the inner liner and piping, a pizza graphic with Skate Mental and Nike SB branding on the insole, and white detailing on the laces, Swoosh branding, and vulcanized rubber midsoles.

There is no release date for this delicious colorway of the Nike SB Stefan Janoski but it shouldn’t be too long before they hit retailers.

I love pizza (a lot), but I don?t think I would wear shoes that have a picture of a pizza all over them.

If you’re a fan of one of Nike‘s newest lifestyle models, this should probably put a smile on your face. We just got word that new colorways of the Nike Marxman are on the way. Let’s take a look.

Coming in two more tonal colorways, the Marxman will now be rocking a Pure Platinum and a Racer Blue colorway. The high-top two-strap sneaker will be constructed out of a premium leather all while sitting on top of an injected Air-sole unit which also happens to come in the same color. Tonal Nike branding appears on the strap, heel counter and tongue to give the shoe minimalist look and feel. Said to be dropping in the UK beginning tomorrow, we will be sure to let you know once a stateside release is provided. Fan or not? Let us know in the comments below.

Never really got into the look of this shoe. Not a big fan of the two-strap look and the high-top construction is not really my thing.

While we’ve featured playoffs exclusive iterations recently, the Nike KD 8 Elite in its Away finish is set to finally arrive at retailers.

Almost similar to this pair, the basketball silhouette is shaded in a classic palette with black dominating its reptilian detailed leather upper, which flows throughout its heel, tongue, laces and distinctive sock support.

All offset atop a clean white midsole unit and grey outsole, the bottom portion features a translucent overlay for additional protection. Finishing touches include metallic gold accents prominent on the Swooshes across its forefoot, extended sock and lace tips.

Retailing for $200, you can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers starting Thursday, May 26th.

If I was playing bball often, I would consider purchasing. It obviously looks built to handle the court and I like the extended sock support. It?s a solid colorway overall.

Nike Sportswear’s ongoing initiative to support the LGBT community grabbed the attention of the sneaker world with the release of the rainbow accented Nike Sock Darts that demanded people “Be True” to themselves and others. Now Tinker Hatfield’s sample back from the dead, the Nike Air Max Zero, will be releasing in the “Be True” aesthetic in the future. Right now all we have is this little teaser courtesy of international man of mystery US11, who decided to preview one of the more noticeable callouts on the shoe – the rainbow-colored visible air unit and what appears to be a matching gradient outsole. Stay tuned for a full preview of the upcoming Nike Air Max Zero “Be True” in the near future and let us know if you’re excited about the release by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

Following Eric Avar and Tinker Hatfield’s iterations, the last variation of the Nike Kobe 11 from the special edition “Muse” trilogy is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

With this particular pair designed by the Swoosh’s C.E.0, Mark Parker, the basketball sneaker’s theme essentially takes cues from Bryant’s infamous moniker — The Black Mamba.

Flaunting mixture of black and blue lagoon across its intricately woven upper, the component bears subtle snake skin-like details to evoke the ferocious snake. Tonal black reptilian detailing are prominent on the leather heel tab, with more leather accents gracing the tongue.

Finished off with contrasting white Swooshes across its side panels and a full length sole unit, you can purchase this pair at select Nike stores tomorrow, May 26 for $200.

Author’s Take

Out of the three pairs, this is the second best colorway. I liked Tinker?s creation to the most. Overall, I?m a fan of the silhouette and this should get some attention, especially since Bryant retired this year.

While the recent J Pack paid homage to classic Air Jordan colorways, this Nike Air Force 1 Low follows the same color blocked theme, although in tones of black and yellow.

Composed of premium leather, the iconic basketball sneaker boasts the vibrant shade across the Swoosh, toe box, rear section and outsole unit, while tonal black converges across the reminder of the upper to round out the bold color scheme.

Finished off with a crisp white midsole unit, you can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers nationwide now for a price tag of $90.

Kevin Durant stressed the importance of including Flyknit in his ninth signature shoe with Leo Chang and Nike Basketball after being envious of Kobe’s woven styles for the past few seasons. (You can read more of our latest interview with Durant here). Not only did the Swoosh respond with the first Flyknit pair of KDs ever in the Nike KD 9, but the brand also dropped the price down to a very manageable $150 USD which is sure to make this model a hit both on and off the court throughout 2016. Today we get a look at the upcoming KD 9 “Oreo”, a pair that brings back the familiar high-contrast black and white Flyknit look featuring a 50/50 split of solid black by the heel and a marbled mixture of both shades on the forefoot and toe. What do you think of Kevin’s latest signature? Check out a detailed look below and while a release date isn’t available just yet, select sellers on eBay have this pair in stock right now.
