Nike Sportswear is proud to present the next evolution of their iconic Presto line with the introduction of the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit. The Nike Air Presto debuted in 2000 with a futuristic design and attention-grabbing ad campaign that was noteworthy for being one of the first times that crazy colorway names adorned a particular sneaker. As if that wasn’t enough, the Presto was marketed as a t-shirt for your feet and came equipped with t-shirt sizing instead of the usual numeric system. All of that wouldn’t have mattered if the shoe wasn’t incredibly comfortable though, and now a decade and a half later, the Presto line is as relevant as ever. The Nike Presto Flyknit utilizes the woven technology complete with a stretch collar while the iconic TPU cage overlay adds signature Presto style cues. For the first time ever, the Nike Air Presto will come in a mid-top silhouette for a modernized aesthetic. 5 monochromatic colorways will debut this Spring 2016 season, all of which can be viewed below. The Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit will arrive via Nike SNKRS on April 28th followed by a global release on nike.com/sportswear and at select Nike shops on May 5th.

Welp, it’s all over. No, I meant Kobe Bryant’s career (as far as we know), not the #MambaDay option on NIKEiD; there’s still time to do the latter. I would know because when I put my order in last night I got a confirmation saying I might get it by the end of the month… of June.

For the first time since the Nike Kobe 9 dropped a multicolor option on NIKEiD, the sneaker world has been feverishly trying to put together designs for their #MambaDay sneaker. With a two upper options to choose from (solid and stats) and a relatively simple color palette that recalls basically Kobe and the Lakers (not sure why there’s Metallic Silver and Cool Grey but whatever). Sure, it won’t have the resale value of the Black Mamba Pack, but that’s not the point of making the shoes (at least I hope it isn’t for most people).

Depending on when you’re reading this, you have less than ten hours to go to make your pair and hopefully get it by Christmas. Here are some samples to get you started in this Mamba-filled edition of Fun With NIKEiD. The Gum sole is very underutilized.

This latest Nike SB Dunk Low dubbed “Hemp” is showcased in additional detail, as the model subtly complements the upcoming 4/20 holiday which celebrates cannabis culture.

Sporting a bamboo-colored upper, the popular skateboarding sneaker is comprised heavy-duty raw canvas and reminiscent of a rugged burlap. Larger threading is seen along the collar to further emphasize its unique, textured build, while the interior and Zoom Air heel unit offers the pinnacle of comfort and quick, responsive cushioning.

Complemented with black accents gracing the inner lining, Swoosh logo, tongue, laces and outsole, the model is finishes off by a clean white midsole unit.

You can purchase a pair at select Nike accounts starting April 16 for $100.

I haven’t bought this silhouette in a long time and I’m tempted with this colorway. I’m biased towards these tones and it’s a solid offering. The makeup is solid too.

With the occurrence of #MambaDay still fresh in our memory, the latest variation of the Nike Kobe 11, dubbed “Brave Blue” has finally arrived at retailers today.

Designed by heralded designer Eric Avar, the model’s unique palette draws inspiration from Yosemite?s El Capitan. Flaunting a gradient of blues that flows from dark to light across its intricately knitted upper, bone-white accents evident on the inner lining and full-length sole unit complements the palette.

Additionally detailed with touches of grey implemented on the Swoosh, tongue and heel tab, this newest pair is currently available at select Nike accounts for a retail price tag of $200.

I’ve shared before that I’m a fan of the model’s design. I like the gradient upper and it’s a solid colorway overall. Fans should consider purchasing.

With Kobe Bryant?s historic basketball career ending yesterday, April 13, scoring 60 points in a win, today a new tribute to the Black Mamba is showcased in the form of this Nike Kobe 11 Muse Pack.

Essentially connected with the Swoosh’s iconic design pioneers such as President & CEO Mark Parker, Eric Avar and Tinker Hatfield, the range includes three corresponding pairs that honors Bryant, which dates back to the Huarache 2K4 — the first sneaker he wore after signing with Nike in 2003 and eventually leading to his own signature line.

Featured first consists of the “Avar Muse” aka “Brave Blue” colorway, which takes cues on the Yosemite National Park?s ?El Capitan? rock formation. The model’s blue hues represent the sky and water seen from the California summit, while the taupe collar lining and outsole mimic the textured granite formation.

Finished off with boot laces as a nod to the outdoors and hiking, the model is now available at select retail locations in limited quantities for $200.

Stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for release details on the upcoming Tinker Hatfield (black/red) and Mark Parker (black/blue) pairs.

It’s a cool tribute and I’m liking the overall colorways. Out of the three, I’d have to side with Avar, then Hatfield.

Alongside these two colorways arriving this month, the Nike Sock Dart, is set to be added to NIKEiD, where users can finally create their own unique iteration of the popular runner.

While there isn’t detailed information on what can be tweaked yet, it’s certain that the colorway is primary. Additionally, as shown in the rendering above, the model’s signature mid-foot strap receives a two-tone finish to perfectly offset its tonal makeup.

You can start creating your own pair exclusively at NIKEiD, starting Monday, April 18.

I?ve never been a fan of any Foamposites but this University Red option isn?t that bad. I just can?t see myself spending more than $200 on a shoe that I ?sort of? like.

Just like the Air Force 1 received the Flyknit Ultra treatment earlier this year, Nike will be doing the same exact thing with the Nike Air Max 1.

The Nike Air Max 1, considered by many the best Air Max silhouette of all, will be stripped down even further and made even lighter thanks to a Flyknit upper and Ultra midsole/outsole. The Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit Ultra does not yet have a release date but up above we can see what the shoe will look like as the new upper will be composed of a combination of Flyknit and textile with Flywire for added support. The outsole will also be modified to make the shoe lighter and more comfortable.

No exact release date is know yet but the Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit Ultra is expected to release some time this Summer. Are you liking the new look?

Another Nike ACG model is making a return this year as Nike plans on bringing back the Nike Air Lava Dome. What you see above are a plethora of colorways set to drop this upcoming Summer and Fall season. Just like the OG pair, this retro version appears to come true to form. The shoe’s upper comes with a suede base complimented by the suede overlays placed all over the shoe.
