Air Maxes with the blue suede. The iconic Nike Air Max 95 is one of the most ambitious designs in the history of visible air. After celebrating its 20th-anniversary last year with a number of OGs and a memorable “What The” finish, the release slate has calmed down a bit for Sergio Lozano’s masterpiece. This lifestyle take on the Air Max 95 should win over even the staunchest of traditionalists though, as a tonal obsidian suede construction works well with brief hints of grey. International shop JD Sports has the exclusive on the pair, so head there to pick up your pair today.

Nike celebrates Kobe Bryant’s amazing abilities and propensity to piss people off with a countdown to Mamba Day, also known as April 13, 2016. Before we all say goodbye to Kobe, Nike will be doing a great deal of memorializing over the next several days by having over 200 of their athletes pay homage to the man with black and gold kicks, starting with Rory McIlroy at The Masters. He will be wearing a black, white and gold iD version of the Nike Lunar Control 4 iD.

The short video clip above features various Nike athletes including Kyrie Irving, Paul George and Kevin Durant all talking about Mamba and how he would try to intimidate them through his game and other uh, subtle ways. KD didn’t even bother to hide his real feelings about it, saying Kobe “pissed me off a lot.” And that’s why Mamba is the best…

There will be more to come as Kobe reaches the end, but at least now we know why the Nike Kobe 11 Black Mamba is black and gold and doesn’t just totally Fade To Black like the collection implies.

Ken Griffey Jr. is enjoying the most significant year of his post-retirement career as the home run aficionado was officially welcomed into Cooperstown’s Baseball Hall Of Fame earlier this year. Nike is timing things right by bringing back original colorways of his first signature shoe, the Air Griffey Max 1, in the “Emerald” version seen here. The sneaker made a huge home-run splash when it returned back in 2009 in a slew of colorways, and given the popularity of this sneaker, don’t expect Nike to stop at just one release. These have a release date of Thursday, April 21st, and will hit Nike retailers like Rock City Kicks.

This year’s Nike Presto retro has been to 2016 what the Nike Air Huarache was to 2013.

You ever have a late night craving for some greasy fast food? You’re thinking of what you can eat and then BAM! You remember that you have some of that leftover pizza that you bought for dinner.

This upcoming colorway of the Nike SB Dunk Low is inspired by that very moment. As you can see, the popular silhouette from Nike SB has been hit with a metallic silver upper that is meant to resemble crinkled up aluminum foil. The insoles have then been hit with a graphic of some delicious pepperoni pizza. Adding to the look are black accents on the tongue, laces, inner liner, outsole and the Swoosh branding. A white midsole has also been added for good measure.

No exact release date is available yet but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Author’s Take

Leftover pizza is one of the best late night meals of all-time. Some how some way the cold pizza taste just as good as the moment you bought it. The pair of SB Dunks is cool I just wish there would have been more pizza inspiration on the upper of the show.

Before Kobe Bryant was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers he was a star in Philadelphia as a member of the basketball team for Lower Merion High School. Kobe is one of the few NBA players that made the direct jump from high school to the pros and the first guard to do so.

Nike will be honoring Kobe’s time at Lower Merion with this special colorway of the Nike Kobe 11. Known as the Lower Merion/Aces colorway, this Kobe 11 switches out the Flyknit upper in exchange for engineered mesh. The majority of the sneaker has been done in Cool Grey with Team Red accents landing on the Swoosh, tongue and heel branding and the Flywire on the bottom two eyelets.

You can find the Nike Kobe 11 Aces at select Nike retailers beginning on April 9th for $160. Will you cop? Let us know down below.

Author’s Take

Not sure why Nike used an engineered mesh upper instead of Flyknit. I think the shoe would have looked a lot better with a Flyknit upper.

The Nike Air Icarus made its triumphant return earlier this year. After stepping away from the limelight for many years, the model that was created way back in 1991 is now back in action right on time for the Spring season. Today we take a look at three different colorways that are all already available for purchase.

The first pair comes in a white upper heavily contrasted by the neon volt hits placed on the overlays. Black hits can be seen on the tongue and Nike Swoosh. The second pair comes in a white upper contrasted by the hits of forest green and royal blue placed on the Nike Swoosh and heel of the shoe. Lastly, the third pair also comes in white while being offset by the cherry and purple accentt placed on the branding and heel region of the shoe. All pairs will be resting atop a matching clean white midsole unit, thus completing the aesthetics of the shoe. Available now all around the globe, you can pick up a pair for the retail price of $100.

It definitely has the vintage look to them. Not really sure what the comfort is like, but as far as the looks go, I can see myself wearing the white pair with hits of green and blue. That would be a dope shoe for the summer.

The Nike Free Flyknit NSW was unveiled in 2015, so it’s still considered a fairly new model. Today we take a look at a tonal offering of one of Nike latest running shoes. Boasting a Flyknit upper and a Free sole, the shoe manages to utilize some of the Nike’s most popular innovations. Let’s check out some on-feet shots of the Nike Free Flyknit NSW Triple Black that looks just as good on the track as it does outside of it.

The stealth looking Nike Free Flyknit NSW comes dressed in an all-black Flyknit upper that also includes the Flywire, hyperfuse and branding on the heel. Continuing the fluidity appearance of the shoe is the all-black Nike Free 5.0 sole unit that rests under the base of the shoe. Black laces and lining complete the monochromatic look of the shoe. Available now internationally, stores such as BSTN will be happy to ship you out a pair!

Author’s Take

Don?t get me wrong, I love the look of the shoe, I just can?t stand the build of it. Flyknit is all good, but the Nike Free tooling I can?t mess with. For that reason I have to pass once they arrive stateside.

All pairs have a stitched Nike Swoosh on the side panels and a white traditional sole down below.

As of right now, the Nike Free Flyknit Mercurial coming in the Blue and Black colorway is currently only available internationally. If you live in the states that should stop you from picking up a pair. Today we get another on-feet look at this clean colorway of the Free Flyknit Mercurial.

The high-top sneaker is constructed out of a blue Flyknit woven upper. The tonal blue on the upper is accompanied by the hits of black located on the Flywire, ankle collar and suede heel. Cleaning things up a bit are the hits of white located on the speckled Free sole and Nike Swoosh on the toe/forefoot. If this is a shoe you’d like to add to your collection, there are several international retailers such as BSTN that will gladly ship to the states. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Author’s Take

Substitute the Nike Free 5.0 sole in exchange for a Lunarlon sole and I?m all over them. I just can?t do Free soles. Overall, it’s a real good looking shoe.
