Nike has a good thing going on with the use of Vachetta Tan on their sneakers. It seems like every time they utilize the hue on any model it automatically looks and feels better. Up next is the Nike Air Max 90 Woven. Initially previewed back in February along with two other colorways, today we get another look at the Nike Air Max 90 Woven Vachetta Tan.

The woven version of the Air Max 90 comes with an all Vachetta Tan leather upper. Woven construction is placed all around the mudguard region/heel area to give the shoe a look of its own. Embossed/Debossed Nike branding can be found on the side panels, heel tab and tongue of the shoe. Adding some contrast to the shoe is the all-white sole unit seen below. No word yet on when these will arrive stateside, but they have already been spotted in some stores overseas, which means a stateside release is imminent.

Author’s Take

Still on the fence when it comes to how I feel about the model. One thing is for sure though, I love the use of Vachetta Tan, so if I were to pick up any pair, these would be it.

This may be my favorite sneaker out of the entire Black Mamba Pack. The black and gold combination is just so clean and the date on the back makes these a piece of history.

#MambaDay is in full effect as people across the entire world are celebrating the final day of Kobe Bryant’s illustrious NBA career.

In honor of Mamba Day there has been lots of athletes over the past few days paying tribute to Kobe Bryant by wearing black and gold Nike sneakers, particularly Kobes. With Kobe set to play in his final NBA game tonight against the Utah Jazz, another NBA legend decided that he would also pay his respects to the Mamba. Perennial All Star and NBA Champion Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks is also celebrating Mamba Day by wearing the Kobe 11 Black Mamba that releases today.

There is a new colorway of the Nike SB Dunk Low Ishod Wair and this one may be the most colorful pair yet.

This SB Dunk Low starts off with a Black suede upper and White accents on the Swoosh branding, midsole, laces, and the Nike branding on the tongue and heel. What catches your eye the most however is the rainbow-like tie-dye print that covers the side panels and the ankle. Finishing things off is a dark grey rubber outsole.

Available now at select Nike SB retailers for $95, will you be picking up this Nike SB Dunk Low Ishod Wait Tie-Dye? Let us know down in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The colorful tie-dye print does catch your attention, but I’m just not a fan of it. I would have preferred just one or two colors on the shoe instead.

The Shadow colorway recently dropped, so did the Royal Blue pair. Now all that’s left is the Bred iteration. Although it’s still not yet available stateside, today we take a look at the official images of the Nike Air Force 1 Low J Pack Bred.

Paying homage to classic Air Jordan 1 colorways, Nike decided to release the Air Force 1 Low J Pack. The Air Force 1 Lows are dressed and color-blocked exactly as the Jordan 1 colorways. This particular pair rocks the Bred motif, where the upper is done in red and black fashion. The Jordan 1 theme extends to the sole as a white midsole and red outsole sit below the base. No word yet on when these will drop, but being that the other two colorways already dropped, it should only be a matter of time.

Author’s Take

It’s cool, but if I had a choice I’d just pick up the Air Jordan 1 Low models. If you like the mold of the Air Force 1 Low better, these are for you.

This is my first time getting a look at this NS version of the Nike Air Pegasus 89. I think it’s a good look. It gives the shoe a more sleek and modern look. There’s no doubt this Triple White colorway will look clean for the Summer.

Not only did Nike decide to bring back the Nike Air More Uptempo, it’s also releasing brand new colorways we’ve never seen on the shoe before. One of those new colorways set to release this year is the clean white/gum colorway you see above.

Simple in colorway, the Air More Uptempo comes in a white leather upper. The leather has perforation hits on the side panels. The branding, which included the large “AIR’ on the sides also comes in white. Contrasting the upper and giving the model a classic touch is the gum bottom outsole that is seen creeping up from the sides. No word yet on the exact release date but expect these to drop sometime thus summer with the retail price of $180.

Author’s Take

I really like this new colorway on the model. You can never go wrong with a white and gum look, and this pair is no different. It may not be my style but that doesn’t mean it’s not clean.

Nike SB has returned with a brand new tonal colorway of the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max. After taking a look at the Geoff McFetridge collaboration yesterday, we now return to the popular tonal look.

This new colorway of the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max features a full tonal look done in a bright and vibrant Gamma Blue colorway. This specific colorway has been constructed out of a full mesh upper for that extra breathability that you need during the Spring and Summer months. The only hit of contrast comes with minimal touches of black on the outsole.

If you’re looking to cop a pair you’ll be able to do so at select Nike retailers in the near future.

In addition to the Air Jordan 9 Low Black / White, the popular Nike Air Foamposite Pro in University Red will also make its arrival at retailers this weekend.

Last seen fourteen years ago, the model receives a much deserved revival, as the durable basketball sneaker is adored by its clean yet rugged profile. The defining tone essentially covers the entire upper, while contrasting black is applied on the leather eye stays, inner lining, tongue, outsole and Swoosh branding to cap off its bold, yet simple two tone color scheme.

Further detailed with its signature carbon fiber shank on the midsole, matching pull tabs and miniature Swoosh embroideries on the forefoot and heel tab, you can purchase a pair at select Nike stockists starting this Saturday, April 16 for $230.

Favorite our official Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Red launch page now for all details upon its release.

Will Nike continue to create and release Nike Kobe sneakers even after Kobe Bryant retires? I know that’s one big question that lots of you have been asking yourselves, because we have too. Today Nike PR Director Heidi Burgett put those questions to rest as she took to her Twitter to give us some much appreciated information.

There?s no end in sight to Nike?s relationship with @KobeBryant as a collaborator, an innovator and one of basketball?s cultural icons.

— Heidi Burgett (@heidiburgett) April 13, 2016

Kobe's shoes will continue to grace basketball courts worldwide ? some new, some retro & some classics remastered w/ the latest innovations.

— Heidi Burgett (@heidiburgett) April 13, 2016

So there you have it. Kobe will continue to work with Nike even after his retirement as a “collaborator, innovator, and cultural icon.” According to Heidi we’ll be seeing new Kobes (presumably Kobe 12, 13, 14, etc.), retros, and remastered classics with modern upgrades.

Are you excited to hear that the Nike Kobe line will continue even after the Black Mamba calls is quits?

The SB Jansoki has a very versatile look. It works great as a skate shoe and it works just as good as a casual sneaker. It also has a look that makes it very easy to redesign over and over again. This latest iteration has the Elite version dressed in a white marble aesthetic. Let’s get a closer look at the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Elite Marble White.

The shoe’s upper appears to be made out of a leather-like material. The leather construction is then given a motif that makes it look like it is done in a white marble.  This entire white and black pattern is placed all over the upper. Cleaning things up bit is the white vulcanized sole unit paired up with the black piping line placed on the upper half of the midsole. White accents found in the laces, eyelets and Nike Swoosh branding complete the look of the shoe. Available internationally, it’s only a matter of time before we see these stateside.

I appreciate the versatility of the Janoski. This version is solid (no pun intended), but I’ve seen other colorways that I like way more.

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 renaissance continues. Ken Griffey Jr. was a baseball and style icon in the mid-90s thanks to his on-field performance and signature backwards hat during the Home Run Derby and batting practice. So when Nike let him know he was worthy of a signature sneaker in 1996, Griffey wanted the design to be as memorable as his home run trot. The 20th anniversary of the silhouette brings the return of a number of iconic colorways. We’ll be seeing the “Freshwater” Mariners vibe later this April, and now this Sprite-like pair featuring Varsity Royal and Volt will be arriving on May 24th for $150 USD. Originally released in 2009, the vibrant look features a Varsity Royal backdrop while Volt accents hit the branding and visible air unit. Stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

This women’s premium version of the Nike Air Max 1 may not be a shoe that manages to stand out from the crowd due to its bold appearance, but it will definitely make a statement with its quality. Today we take a look at the Nike Air Max 1 PRM Gamma Grey.

The shoe comes dressed in a grey-ish premium textured suede construction with a wavy pattern placed over the upper. The tonal look of the shoe is slightly contrasted by the metallic gold accents placed on the collar region of the shoe. Adding more of a premium appearance to the shoe is the tonal leather lining. The branding on the tongue, heel and side panels also come in a tonal manner. Lastly, the traditional Air Max 1 sole unit comes in an classic white colorway. Available at select retailers, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Author’s Take

I think the shoe would look twice as nice if it didn’t come with the wavy pattern or the metallic accents. Overall, it’s solid but it has potential to be much better.

Looking for a new comfortable shoe to skate in? Take a look at this white and blue version of the Nike SB Lunar P-Rod 9. The sleek look of the design will not only perform well, but also make you look good while doing it.

This colorway of the model has an upper done up in a light grey mesh accented by the white accents in the Nike Swoosh and Lunarlon midsole. Adding some color to the shoe is the blue and orange place in areas such as the lining, tongue, branding and parts of the outsole. Available now at select retailers, let us know if you plan on scooping up a pair.

Author’s Take

If I were to skate I would want a shoe that has some comfort to it. Being familiar to the Lunarlon cushioning, I have a good feeling that this would be a great choice to pick up. Look-wise, it’s solid, and performance-wise it looks to be ideal.
