Recently released this past Thursday, additional imagery of the NikeLab ACG Lupinek Flyknit Low in its two colorways of dark grey and grey/white are provided.

Emphasizing its details and perception on how it looks when worn, the models are defined by their rugged appeal comprised of water-repellant Flyknit construction that has been reinforced with a VAC-TECH mudguard.

Further revamped with perforations on the tongue and mesh inserts to offer sufficient breathability, the models are topped off with a comfortable Phylon midsole equipped with a Special Field Boot outsole that ensures traction across all surfaces.

Retailing for $275 each, you can still purchase a pair at Nike‘s online store now, while you can also check your local retailer for availability.

Digi-Floral Janoskis are making a comeback this summer. In the lineage of Nike Skateboarding releases, the Nike SB Janoski “Digi Floral” colorway could perhaps be the most notable to ever hit retailers outside of the Dunk series.

After a tense first round that went to the Thunder and a convincing win by the Warriors in the second, the third round of this likely to be seven round match went to OKC in dominating fashion with a 133-105 win. Kevin Durant would lead the way with 33 points and a brand new pair of kicks for all of us to watch over in the form of the Nike KD 9. Wait, what?

This remixed version of the Nike Air Max 90 is ready for the Summer, are you? If you’re still on the hunt for that perfect Summer time sneaker, I highly suggest you take a look at the upcoming Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Triple White. More modern and lighter than the AM 90 we’re used to, let’s get a closer look.

Right off the bat, the feature that stands out the most is the fact that the entire shoe comes in an all-white aesthetic. The upper is constructed out of a seamless synthetic, which ends up giving the shoe more of a sleek look and feel. In an effort to make the shoe lighter, the shoe’s outsole loses some weight, which in return make the shoe even more comfortable. Extra perforation is placed all over to help keep you feet feeling fresh. A set of white laces, lining and branding hits complete the look of the shoe. Said to be arriving later this Summer, is this on your watch list?

It’s dope. I’m all for modern and more comfortable versions of the Air Max 90. The all-white look is classic and will look great this Summer.
