The Nike KD 8 is nearing the end of its lifecycle as we gear up for the release of the KD 8 Elite in a couple of weeks and the KD 9 in June. One of the last KD 8 releases you’ll be able to get your hands is inspired by Kevin’s leg tattoo of a sabretooth tiger, which coincidentally inspired one of the key components of the shoe as well. This upcoming colorway is indeed taken from the now-extinct predatory cat, which shares the orange, blue and ivory colorway seen on the shoes. This KD 8 releases this Thursday, March 31st, so get a detailed look just below.

A new colorway of the Presto has arrived and this one has the perfect look for the Spring season. Boasting a bold and vibrant upper, today we get a first look at the Nike Air Presto Racer Blue.

The Presto is constructed out of the traditional neoprene sock-like upper that not only makes it light but also breathable. This time around the shoe opts to go with a tonal look as the upper is dressed in a Racer Blue hue to make it a nice choice for the current sunny days. A translucent white supportive overlay compliment the Racer Blue motif very nicely, while the white hits on the midsole, lining, laces and branding give the shoe a clean appearance. Available internationally, we will be sure to let you know once these drop stateside.

Reminds me a lot of the Nike Air Presto Island Blue that dropped last year. Too similar as a matter of fact. Come on Nike, switch it up a bit.

Not really sure how these will do in the market. I don?t see it as a shoe people would rock casually in 2016, and if you want a runner there?s probably better options out there. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Another colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 has been unveiled, and this version appears to be inspired by television, yes, television. Currently dubbed the Nike Kobe 11 TV, the shoe is said to be inspired by the static and color bars seen on the TV screen when the channel you’re watching is currently off-the-air.

The majority of the shoe comes dressed in a Grey and Black Flyknit upper done up in gradient fashion. The TV inspiration/theme is placed on the heel, as the multicolor off-the-air television graphic can be seen all over the heel behind the silver-colored Kobe logo. A black Nike Swoosh, a translucent outsole and a multicolor logo on the tongue complete the main traits on the shoe. Keep it locked as we wait for an official word from Nike to let us know what is the inspiration behind the shoe. First thoughts on the shoe? Let us know in the comments below.

Not bad. I’m curious to what the inspiration is. Based off the shoe’s looks alone, i’ll give it a 6 out of 10, it may go up or down depending on the story behind the shoe.

It doesn’t look too bad. The Air Force 1 is a timeless and classic looking shoe, and being that the upper appears to look the same, I don’t see anything wrong with the shoe. Jordan retros have transformed into golf shoes, why not the AF1?
