Author’s Take

Now that I’ve seen what the shoe looks like I’m definitely disappointed. How is a plan yellow and black Foamposite with no special branding or graphics a “Wu-Tang” colorway? Nike should have added something special to make these stand out.

A new month begins this Friday which means we’ll be seeing brands begin to unveil and release what they have to offer for the month of April.

One particular silhouette from Nike that has been extremely popular since its return last year is the Nike Sock Dart. Two new colorways of the sock-like silhouette will be dropping in the month of April. Both pairs feature tonal uppers and contrasting white midsoles with black speckling. The first pair comes with a black upper and the second opts for some color and uses a green upper. Black rubber outsoles finish off the look on both pairs that are sure to be a hot commodity once they release.

Look for both of these Nike Sock Darts to release in the month of April at select Nike retailers. Make sure you stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for release updates.

Both colorways are very nice. I’m a fan of the tonal look on the Sock Darts and the speckled midsoles just give the shoe a much cleaner look. If I had to pick a pair I would go with the black one.

The Nike Air Huarache has been one of Nike’s most popular sneakers of the past year and a half or so. Ever since Nike decided to bring back the retro runner that was designed by Tinker Hatfield people haven’t been able to get enough.

With popular colorways like the Easter Pack having released a couple of weeks ago, fans of the silhouette are always waiting for the next colorway to drop. Well a new colorway is beginning to release and once again it will come in women’s sizing. This is one of the most interesting pairs that we’ve seen lately as it features a couple of crazy prints on the side panel overlays and the toecap. The majority of the neoprene upper is done in Pure Platinum with peach, blue and black accents adding some contrast. The midsole has been done in white while the rubber outsole is black.

I like the different prints used on this Huarache but the peach and light blue hits make it look too much like a women’s colorway. Definitely a solid color for the ladies though.

I’ve yet to pick up a pair of Prestos but it’s going to be tough for me to pass on these Flyknit versions. They just look too clean. I wish the collar wasn’t so high though.

Not really feeling it. The Phylon midsole looks to chunky paired up with the mesh upper. The lacing system is not my style either, maybe with actual laces the shoe would look better.

In the past we’ve seen Nike Air Max 1 models use Safari print on their. We’ve even seen the classic Air Max model rock the Elephant print. Very seldom, if ever do see the shoe rock both prints. Today we take a look at a premium version of the shoe rocking both Elephant and Safari print.

The shoe is constructed out of a light colored suede and brown leather material. Adding some pop to the shoe is the neon lime hits placed on the lining and eyelets, Nike branding on the tongue and heel and the Air unit inside the sole of the shoe. A canvas tongue gives the shoe some added dimension. With all that being said, the main focus on the shoe lies in the used of both prints on the upper. Elephant print is placed on the toe, side panels and heel, while the Safari print covers the entire mudguard of the shoe. If you like what you see, you can now pick up a pair at select retailers for $120.

Author’s Take

I love Safari print. I love Elephant print. I don’t like both of them on my shoe. It’s doing too much, and adding the neon lime hit was a bad choice in my opinion.

We’re talking about the original neon colorway of the Air Zoom Talaria, of course, which makes its first-ever return tomorrow.

?You get a $250 shoe for like $150… That?s a great bargain right there.? – Kevin Durant when asked about the price of the KD 9 Flyknit, which will retail for $150.

Basketball never stops for Nike and even though they haven’t used that tagline for a while now, it still applies to this day, especially in an Olympic year. Soon after the curtains falls on the current NBA season, Nike will be dropping the new Nike KD 9 Flyknit onto sneakerheads and ballers with a new Flyknit look and technology that will catch the eyes of a lot of people. Flyknit is quickly becoming the accepted default tech of most new Nike kicks and with Kobe having already used Flyknit for a while now and Jordan Brand implementing their own woven techniques onto their signature shoe, it was only a matter of time before the rest of Nike Basketball caught up. That time is now.

But what will definitely get people talking is the $150 price tag, a huge drop from the current Nike KD 8 that retails for $180. Is this is a response to the lackluster – or what appears to be lackluster judging from the dearth of KD 8s getting huge price drops – sales of the KD 8 and LeBron 13? As Kobe Bryant is set to retire and take his signature line to strange places, Kyrie Irving having a lackluster second year as a signature athlete and Stephen Curry becomes the new face of the NBA while also turning Under Armour into something of a threat to the swoosh, changes needed to be made at the swoosh.

Nike still needs to push the boundaries of design in order to justify dropping a new pair every year, but what KD used to be known for – quality kicks at family-friendly prices – had all been obliterated. At the heart of their company will always be innovation – Nike can’t and won’t stop that train – but if that innovation prices out most of the public, it won’t really matter how great that innovation is. That’s been proven by the KDs – even the beloved Aunt Pearl colorway – sitting on shelves.

Will this course correction be a new trend in Nike as Flyknit becomes more widely accepted and eases manufacturing costs and in turn passes the savings along to the consumer? Time will tell, but the KD 9 Flyknit is hopefully a step in that direction.

Let us know what you think about the Nike KD 9 Flyknit in the comments below and don’t forget to follow our coverage of the KD 9 Flyknit here.

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.

The Nike KD 8 Elite comes in a Grey tonal colorway done up in a different number of shades. Adding a luxe feel to the shoe is the snakeskin print placed on the overlay of the shoe.

The shoe is cool. Initially, I didn’t like it. I personally would not buy it, but I understand the reasoning behind making the shoe look like it does. Performance over aesthetics.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a new Nike Air Footscape Motion review here at the Kicks on Fire archives, but that’s about to change as Nike is getting ready to release a Sakura version of the unique looking shoe. Today we take a look at the official images and release date of the Nike Air Footscape Motion Sakura.

Sakura means Cherry Blossom in Japan, and being that the flower is currently blooming as we speak, Nike decided to utilize that theme on to the shoe. The Footscape Motion starts off with a Dark grey base. The tonal look of the shoe is then accented by the “Sakura” details placed all over the shoe. In addition, the shoe also comes with 3M reflective detailing on the area surrounding the Nike Swoosh branding placed on the heel. Another notable feature worth mentioning is the fact that the shoe appears to come with two different insoles, in which one happens to be made out of cork. If you want to get a pair you will be able to do so soon and they’re set to release on April 2nd. Cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I’ve always had mixed emotions towards the Nike Air Footscape Motion. Some days I like it, some days I don’t. It’s a very abnormal looking sneaker. I guess since I’m on the fence about it and not completely in love with it, it’s probably best I pass on the shoe.

Look pretty nice for a tennis shoe, and the basketball aesthetics are easy to see. The volt gives it a nice pop and the midsole looks clean.
