Another variation of the popular Infrared colorway for the Nike Air Max 90 will be introduced once again this summer, as the particular pair will consist of an Ultra SE build.

Compared to its traditional counterpart, the new silhouette flaunts a new seamless construction with the application of miniature perforations across the toe box. Treated in white/grey/black across its upper and midsole, the defining hue is prominent on the eyelets, inner lining, tongue label and heel section.

While the model has yet to be officially introduced, the model is suggested to release at Nike accounts sometime in July. Stay tuned for more information.

Author’s Take

The colorway is timeless and I’m always a fan of this silhouette. I don’t mind the new construction. I’m pretty biased towards the model and this should get a lot of attention.

Earlier this week we gave you a look at the newest colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Essential. Inspired by an OG colorway, this newest offering of the Air Max 90 gives the shoe an upgraded and modern look.

The Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Essential Laser Blue features a no-sew, breathable mesh upper done in White with synthetic overlays for reinforcement. In addition to the White upper we see grey detailing on the Swoosh branding and Black on the mudguard, upper eyelets and the Nike Air branding on the heel. Last but not least we see Laser Blue land on the midsole, heel tab, lower eyelets, Air Max branding on the ankle and on the branding on the tongue.

You can scoop up this colorway of the lighter and more comfortable Nike Air Max 90 at select Nike retailers for $120.

I like the simplicity of this colorway I just wish the blue was a little darker or brighter. This looks too much like University Blue which I’m not really a fan of.

Don’t worry you don’t have to blink, you’re not in the Twilight Zone. That’s what it probably felt like when you took a look at this new colorway of the Nike Air Force 1.

Covered in Black throughout out the entire upper, this Nike Air Force 1 High is then accented by white speckling all throughout to give it an intergalactic look that reminds us of the opening credits of The Twilight Zone. Adding a bit more contrast is red/orange detailing on the tongue branding and the ankle strap. A white sole unit caps things off on this eye-catching colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 that can be found now at select retailers for $100.

Author’s Take

One of the nicer colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 that I’ve seen lately. They would have been even better if there would have been come contrast on the Swoosh and if they would have been Lows instead of Highs.

The Nike Air Penny 2 is a on a roll in 2016 as we’ve already seen a few different colorways release and it’s barely May. One future colorway that many people are looking forward to is the OG Orlando Magic colorway.

This OG colorway of the Air Penny was worn by Penny Hardaway when he played for, you guessed it, the Orlando Magic. This Air Penny 2 features a white leather upper with minimal Varsity Blue and Black detailing. Take a look at these official images and know that select retailers are already beginning to release these Penny 2s so make sure to hit up your local Nike retailers for availability. Do you plan on picking up a pair?

Author’s Take

Even though this is an OG colorway of the Air Penny 2 it’s just a little too plain for my liking. I prefer the Miami Heat colorway that released earlier this year.

Pop quiz! The Nike Air Max 90 made its debut in 1990, but when the the Nike Air Max 1 make its debut? Stumped? One look on the heel of this Air Max 1 and you will find your answer. Today we get another look at the Nike Air Max 1 87.

The Tinker Hatfield creation was released back in 1987. There should be no reason as to why you should forget that after taking a look at this new Nike Air Max 1. A leather, mesh and suede construction take care of the shoe’s upper. A White base is paired up with Black and Beige accents to break up the tonal look of the shoe. The shoe’s focal point lies on the rear as an ’87’ is printed in bold black to let everyone know when the Nike Air Max 1 made its debut. Are you a fan of this bold hit placed on the Air Max 1? Let us know in the comments below. If you want a pair, look for these at your local participating Nike retailers.

Author’s Take

I like the concept behind the shoe, but if I were to design it, I would have made the 87 very small and place it on the side of the heel. Kind of like how the ’23’ is placed on the Air Jordan 5.

If you hear anyone talking about the Nike Air Presto right now chances are that they’re probably talking about the new Ultra Flynit version, especially since it just landed on NIKEiD.

But believe it or not lots of people still love the original. One of the new colorways that has landed on the original Nike Air Presto is this Rio Teal option that you see above. As you can see, teal dominates the upper of this Presto with a milky white side panel/heel cage serving as a great contrast. The midsole, laces, and inner liner are also done in white while the rubber outsole is done in black.

Do you plan on picking up this Rio Teal colorway of the Nike Air Preto when it hits retailers?

Great Spring/Summer colorway of the Air Presto. I’m still looking to pick up my first pair. Could it be this one?

In Forbes’ recently released list of the world’s most valuable brands, Nike comes in at number eighteen overall thanks to a robust $27.5 billion in brand value. In the category of apparel, Nike is sitting pretty at number one, beating out other labels such as Louis Vuitton, Uniqlo, and noted rival adidas. In fact, despite adidas’ impressive efforts in product and brand management/marketing the competition is much less fierce than what bloggers and random tweets suggest. Yes, the Yeezy Boost resells for more than your average Air Jordan Retro. But the brands don’t benefit much financially from aftermarket, and although adidas has its hits with other silhouettes like the adidas NMD and the Ultra Boost, Nike is not only worth more, but growing at a faster rate (Nike’s 1-year value change is at 5%, whereas adidas’ value went up by 2%). adidas is certainly having a moment in sneaker and fashion culture, but the brand as a whole won’t be boosted by the work of a few choice sneakers. Peep the full list by Forbes here and let us know if you think adidas will ever catch up.

We?re going back to 1996 once again to remember another model from one of the greatest years of sneakers ever. After taking a look at Shaquille O?Neal?s iconic Reebok Shaqnosis last month, we couldn?t forget the Diesel?s partner in crime with the Orlando Magic, Penny Hardaway. Of course, no retrospective of sneakers from the ?90s could be complete without Penny?s signature models?especially one focused on 1996 when he wore the Nike Air Penny 1 for the ?95-96 NBA season and the Air Penny 2 for the ?96-97 season. Since we already took a look at the Penny 1 last year in Flashback to ?95, today we?ll recap the history of the Air Penny 2, his second signature model that many regard to be the best of his acclaimed line. And yes, don?t worry, Lil? Penny will be making an appearance.

Very few sneaker color combinations are better than the Black and Yellow pairing. The colors are so opposite but they still manage to work great together like peanut butter and jelly. The color scheme makes its way to the classic Nike Air Force 1 Low, and the outcome is a good one.

The shoe comes in Black and Yellow color-blocking done in a leather construction. The Black leather appears to come in smooth fashion, while the Yellow has more of a textured feel to it. Black lining and a Yellow outsole blend in very nicely with the shoe’s upper, while a White midsole provides a bit of a break between the two-toned look. Available now, pick up your pair from select Nike retailers for $90.

I love the Black and Yellow look, and this pair is no different. The color blocking is done right. Great looking shoe.

It’s only been a few months since the Nike Metcon 2 made its debut and we’re already getting our first look at what may be the Nike Metcon 3.

The silhouette that you see above is reported to be the Nike Metcon 3 and features a seamless mesh upper in black with white detailing on the outsole, branding, and Flywire on the side panels. The design on the Metcon 3 looks somewhat different than the Metcon 2, but as long as it does what it’s supposed to do I’m sure people will like it.

There is no release date yet for the Nike Metcon 3, but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

The design looks very similar to the Metcon 2. I’m not into training shoes like this so I don’t plan on picking up a pair anyway.

To many people, there’s nothing cleaner that a fresh pair of Nike Cortez kicks. If you happen to fall in that category, take a look at the Nike Cortez Leather coming in a nostalgic White and Navy colorway.

The Cortez comes constructed out of a leather upper. The base of the shoe comes in White, while the Navy is used as the accented color placed in areas such as the Nike Swoosh, tongue branding, heel tab and the stripe going across the White midsole. Additional Nike branding is placed on the heel to round out the minimalist look of the shoe. Available now, pick up the pair you see above at select retailers for $70.

The Nike Roshe LD 1000 gets a major by upgrade by giving the shoe’s upper a premium aesthetic. Coming in three different tonal versions, let’s get a closer look at what all three pairs have to offer.

For those of you that keep up with the model, you know the norm is usually a mesh and canvas-like upper. This time around the shoe is covered in a premium leather offering done in a tonal makeup. Your choice of either Black, Navy or Grey cover the shoes upper, while a tonal suede overlays can be found on the heel region, Nike Swoosh, eyestay and the toe. All three pairs are contrasted by the all-white sole unit placed below. If you’re looking for a clean lifestyle look that keeps things toned down a bit, this is the one for you. Available internationally, expect these to arrive stateside in the near future.

If you’re a fan of the model, there’s no doubt you’re going to like this premium version of it. Great choice for the Spring/Summer season.

I have my eyes on the Michigan pair, only because I’m a Pacers fan. Nice to see these make a comeback. I remember for the longest I wanted a pair, now they’re finally here.

The beauty of the Nike Air Max 90 is that the shoe manages to look good in many different ways. The silhouette is very versatile, which in return makes it an ideal canvas to do whatever you want on it. Tonal uppers, subtle uppers, bright and bold motifs, prints and textures, everything looks good on the shoe (well, almost everything). This time around the Air Max 90 takes the subtle route as a White / Black / Grey colorway makes its way to the model.

The shoe starts off with a leather and mesh upper. The base of the shoe comes in White, while hits of Black and Grey are placed on the mudguard, eyelets, heel tab, Nike Swoosh, branding and midsole surrounding the Air Max bubble. Nothing out of the ordinary, but that’s perfectly okay when it comes to the Nike Air Max 90. Available internationally, we will let you know if these end up dropping stateside.

It’s solid. There’s so man iterations of the model, that sometimes we tend to overlook some of them. Don’t sleep on this versatile pair.

While this upcoming Nike Flyknit Racer is reminiscent of the popular multicolor offering from 2013, this actual model dubbed, “Rainbow,” utilizes the same vibrantly colored knitted aesthetic, although the application of a grey-colored tongue is the only notable differentiation.

Tonal black accents applied on the Swoosh branding across its side panels, laces, lining of its collar and portion of the midsole further solidifies its eye-catching palette, as it’s topped off by a white for the remainder of its sole unit.

You can purchase a pair at select Nike accounts worldwide starting Friday, May 13th for $150.

Author’s Take

I?m biased towards this silhouette. This colorway is surely one of its most sought after. I don?t mind the slight change to its tongue color.
