A new colorway of the Nike SB Dunk High has just surfaced and it’s one that may make your stomach turn a bit.

Inspired by raw meat, this new colorway of the SB Dunk High mimics the look of beef before you fire it up on the grill. The upper is composed of Challenge Red with contrasting White detailing to represent the fatty areas that we see on beef. Additional Challenge Red accents can also be seen on the laces, outsole, and Nike SB branding on the tongue. Finally we see more White appear on the midsole, tongue, inner liner, and on the Swoosh branding.

Available now at select Nike SB locations for $110, will you be rocking this Nike SB Dunk High at your Summer barbecues?

As a person who loves beef I think this is a pretty cool colorway of the SB Dunk High. The upper’s resemblance to raw beef is pretty close to the real thing.

The third and final colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 Muse Pack finally has a release date as Nike decided to officially unveil the pair designed by Mark Parker today.

Taking inspiration from the relationship between Parker and Bryant as well as Bryant?s ?The Black Mamba? nickname, the Nike Kobe 11 Mark Parker features subtle details reflecting the black mamba snake. From the re-engineered Flyknit pattern and laces to the tongue and shoe underbelly, reptilian details designed by Parker subtly come to life on this new shoe. The majority of the shoe is done in black with royal blue and white serving as accents.

Look for the Nike Kobe 11 Mark Parker to release on Thursday, May 26th on Nike SNKRS, Nike.com, and select retailers worldwide.

This Mark Parker is my 2nd favorite pair from the Kobe 11 Muse Pack. It’s pretty hard to top the Tinker Hatfield pair, but the combination of black and royal blue on the Flyknit upper does look nice.

Comprised of textile across its upper with tonal nubuck accents on the heel and distinctive mid-foot strap which offers superb lockdown support, the dark navy hue flows throughout the laces, tongue and inner lining as well, while shimmering gold for the Swooshes across its side panels punctuates the understated profile.

With its recent colorways consisting of Hasta, Black and Blue, the Nike Sock Dart is highlighted in a more vibrant rendition, this time consisting of Total Crimson.

As the name suggests the concept behind the silhouette was to create something that gripped your foot and act as if you’re not actually wearing a shoe. Comprised of a knitted fabric with elasticity and breathability, the upper is reinforced with a distinctive perforated mid-foot strap to ensure sufficient lockdown.

Offset against a clean white midsole unit with subtle black speckling, a TPU overlay is applied on the heel for additional reinforcement, as a black outsole finishes it all off.

You can find this latest colorway at select Nike retailers overseas starting Friday, May 20th, while a stateside release is imminent.

Back in December we found out that LeBron James became Team Nike for life as he signed a lifetime deal with the brand. There was one big detail that was left out though, how much the deal was worth. All we knew was that “ESPN believed that it ?easily surpasses? the 10-year, $300 million deal that Kevin Durant signed last Summer.”

Today more details surfaced on the deal. According to Maverick Carter, LeBron’s childhood friend and business partner, the deal is worth a massive $1 billion. Carter recently sat down for an interview with GQ where he gave up the information.

How much was the deal for?
I can’t say.

While it was officially introduced just a few days ago, in addition to a preview of upcoming colorways expected to release soon, another rendition of the newly-introduced Nike Air Zoom 90 IT is previewed, as it’s rendered in the iconic Infrared finish.

Essentially inspired by the iconic Air Max 90 runner, this silhouette is specifically built for the golf course. Comprised of a waterproof, one-piece bootie construction, the tooling is revamped with an air-cushioned sole applied in the forefoot to offer lightweight and responsive cushioning, in addition to a rubber outsole with integrated traction.

An official release date for this particular pair has yet to be announced, although more colorways are scheduled to arrive at Nike retailers on June 1st.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for additional updates.

Author’s Take

I was actually wondering if the colorway would be offered on this silhouette. Given that the model is inspired by the AM90, it seemed obvious. Like I shared before, if I was an avid golfer, this will be my go-to pair.

If the Oklahoma City Thunder are going pull off the unthinkable and dethrone the defending NBA champions the Golden State Warriors, they’re going to need better performances from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Yes, they did each score in the upper 20s and Westbrook took over towards the end of the game, but they also combined to miss 34 shots and the Warriors almost had another shot at the win if not for a blown call by the referee late in the game. But as fans we’ll take it because this means the Thunder are not going to back down from the Warriors behemoth and you know Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the rest are going to bounce back from this with a better game. Should be a fun six more games, right? What?

Westbrook’s late-game greatness meant plenty of time for us to check out his Air Jordan 30 PE that should really be available for us to cop. As for the rest of the night in kicks, we saw Andre Roberson in some Master 12s, Steph continues to wear his Curry 2.5s, Dion Waiters broke out some Kyrie 1s and much more.

After a five year hiatus of not being sold to the market, the iconic Nike Lunar Flow is set to make a comeback this season with slight material variations compared to its predecessor.

Showcased in black/white, green/red, and a blue/white version, which takes cues from the silhouette’s original neoprene release back in 1988, these revamped pairs incorporate a slightly wider mesh underlay to enhance more ventilation and breathability across the upper. The rest of the panelling is constructed with thin Hyperfuse strips to keep the profile intact, as it all rests atop a comfortable and crisp Lunarlon midsole unit.

Other notable details matching laces, the recognizable Swooshes across its side panels and more distinctive branding across its heel and tongue tab.

You can expect to find all three colorways at select Nike accounts overseas first starting this Friday, May 20th. Stay tuned for its arrival stateside, which should be very soon.

Author’s Take

I haven’t been aware about this silhouette until now. At least the name, but I do remember the profile. I’ve shared before that I’m a die-hard fan of runners and it’s nice to see this style revived. The upcoming colorways are solid too.

Nike’s back with a new Dunk colorway that will be a favorite of carnivores, but something the vegans avoid with an upper that imitates raw meat. The Nike Dunk has skipped out on the immensely creative thematics that usually occupy its panels as of late, so it’s good to see the silhouette return to some head-turning ways here. The color choice is rather simple, as Challenge Red upper is interrupted by accents of Sail throughout in an effort to capture the marbelized fat seen on only the most premium cuts of beef. What do you think of this Nike Dunk High? Check out more detailed photos below and know that Rock City Kicks is stocking this skate classic today for $110 USD.

The latest variation of the Nike SB Dunk Low is arriving at retailers, as its particular makeup is inspired by coffee — the popular brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans.

While a direct correlation with Starbucks seems to be an obvious inspiration, the coffeehouse chain’s distinctive color for its branding is evident across the sneakers inner liner and outlining of the Swoosh in vibrant green, while the shoe’s khaki brown upper emulates the infamous drink or bean perfectly.

Touches of white for the laces, Swooshes, tongue and midsole unit caps off the overall palette. Retailing for $100, you can purchase this latest pair at select Nike accounts nationwide now.

Author’s Take

I used to collect this silhouette often back then. I actually would consider purchasing if this released before, but since I’m over that phase, it’s a pass. The execution is nicely done though.

The newly-introduced Nike Air Presto Flyknit Ultra has been offered in quite a number of colorways recently, as we focus the spotlight on this wolf grey iteration.

Essentially maintaining its iconic profile intact, the model is defined by its revamped upper, which is constructed of a much more breathable knitted component in the tonal hue. Further detailed with matching TPU overlays for its heel and lacing cage system, the silhouette is topped off with a white sole and more grey accents on the heel.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike accounts worldwide now for a retail price tag of $180.

I?m a fan of its original build but I like this a bit better. The new construction offers more functionality and this colorway is pretty versatile.

LeBron James has been loyal to Nike ever since he was pursued by brands long before his professional days. Late last year, it was confirmed that Nike had given the King a deal so sweet that it committed him to the brand for the rest of his life (yes, his life), and in a recent interview between GQ and his business manager Maverick Carter, the bare essentials of this agreement have finally surfaced. As it turns out, Nike gave LeBron James its biggest contract in history with  a billion-dollar guarantee that will pay him throughout his playing days, into retirement, and into his final days. Now that we know LeBron is getting this kind of money, do you foresee other cash cows like Steph Curry and Kevin Durant demand big numbers? Read the excerpt from the GQ interview about the deal below.
