An On-Foot Look At The Nike Air Max 90 Heat Map


The Nike Air Max 90 is back in one of the most vibrant color options in recent memory, as a breathable Engineered Mesh upper sees an array of Obsidian, Bright Crimson, and Volt come together to form a heat-seeking exclusive. We’ve seen Nike Sportswear fool around with heat-centric digitized prints and patterns before, most notably on the whole “Weatherman” and “Thermal Map” Foamposite releases, but those weren’t necessarily received well by the masses. This Air Max 90 “Heat Map” will just have to fair well for the kids though. International spots like Titolo have this pair in stock today.

With Air Max Day less than 48 hours away, today we take a look at a trio of Air Max 1s that are being known as the Pinnacle Pack.

The last time we heard Pinnacle was with the handful of Air Jordan 1 releases that dropped last year in celebration of the silhouette’s 30th anniversary. Now we see three colorways of the Air Max 1 dressed with leather uppers and coming in tonal hues. The first features a Black upper with an off-white midsole, the next a Light Bone upper with matching midsole and the last colorway comes in Grey and also features a matching midsole. All three pairs are composed of a premium leather and feature perforations on the tongue. It’s also important to note that these are all women’s colorways, but that has never stopped anyone right?

There is no release date at the moment but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more on the Nike Air Max 1 Pinnacle Pack.

Author’s Take

It’s always a good thing to see Nike switch up the materials used on their Air Max models. When leather is placed on any Air Max silhouette it always gives it that premium look. I like this Pinnacle Pack it’s just a shame it won’t be releasing for men.

Heads up Kyrie/Cleveland Cavaliers fans, a new colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2 Cavs just dropped at select retailers. Not much coverage was given on the shoe since not a lot of press was out there, but turns out that this Cavs-themed colorway of Kyrie’s second signature shoe is now up for grabs.

The Nike Kyrie 2 Cavs consists of a navy blue upper accented by the gold hits placed on the branding on the tongue and the entire hue of the sole unit. A navy Nike Swoosh appears on the midsole, and Kyrie’s signature in red can be seen on the heel. The strap and the laces also come in blue to give the sneaker a tonal vibe. As of right now, the only retailer stocked with the shoe appears to be Jimmy Jazz, so if you’re looking to pick up a pair for $125, make sure you act fast.

Navy and gold colored sneakers, I like that. The Kyrie 2 is a pretty dope silhouette, seeing it come in this color scheme really makes it shine. Just wish there was more gold hits on it.

The OG colorway of the Nike Air More Uptempo just released and people wasted no time in picking up a pair as the shoe managed to sell out. Up next is this  new colorway of the shoe that has it come in a white upper with clean Varsity Red hits.

We talked about this colorway last year, but little to no information about it has released in 2016. Today Nike provided us with the official images of the Nike Air More Uptempo White / Varsity Red. The shoe is dressed in a white leather upper. The tonal base of the shoe is contrasted very nicely by the Varsity Red placed on the “AIR” branding on the side panels which happens to extend to the heel and outsole of the shoe. Additional Varsity Red Nike branding can be see on the toe, tongue and midsole. A cut-out Nike Swoosh is also placed on the heel to complete the branding on the shoe. Now that we’ve seen the official images we will patiently wait until we get a release date on the shoe. Cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

Not a big fan of the silhouette, but this colorway definitely pops. The red hits really help accentuate the unique features on the shoe.

The Nike Sock Dart SE Total Crimson Arrives Next Month

NIKE SOCK DART SE 1 NIKE SOCK DART SE 2 NIKE SOCK DART SE 3 NIKE SOCK DART SE 4 NIKE SOCK DART SE 5

 

The Nike Sock Dart is the type of shoe that’s perfect for the Spring. Lightweight, comfortable, breathable and stylish. What’s not to love? This upcoming colorway also happens to be one of the brightest and boldest offerings that we’ve seen on the model thus far. Let’s take a look at the official images of the Nike Sock Dart SE Total Crimson.

The first thing you notice on the shoe is the fact that this is also a version that opts to use colored straps on the upper. The use of color on the lacing system ends up giving the model a tonal look. The upper is dressed in a Total Crimson hue to match the strap on the shoe. The white sole unit with black speckling ends up giving the shoe some nice contrast. Additional white is found on the heel to complete the look. Expect these to arrive at retailers beginning next month.

Author’s Take

The colored strap is cool, so it the speckled midsole. Pretty dope version of the Sock Dart, I’d just like to see it in another colorway being that I’m not a huge fan of crimson.

The Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low you see above happens to be the newest colorway on the model. The beloved multicolor colorway graces the shoe’s upper and will definitely be a fan favorite.

Labeled as a women’s colorway, this is one of those shoes that we’re pretty sure plenty of guys will want to get their hands on. The shoe starts of with a multicolor Flyknit upper coming in a plethora of colors that results in a beautiful aesthetics. Making the shoe even more desirable is the carved in white sole unit that ends making this version of the AF1 the lightest one ever.

Author’s Take

I love mulitcolor on Flyknit, I just feel that the colors used on the thread are a little too pink dominant. This is not a Flyknit I will be looking to pick up.

The Nike Bruin Photo Blue Drops This Weekend

NIKE BRUIN 1 NIKE BRUIN 2 NIKE BRUIN 3 NIKE BRUIN 4

Late last year, NikeLab helped bring back the OG colorway of the Nike Bruin. The shoe turned out to be a complete success as the it manages to sell out almost instantly. Looking to match the obtain the same success is the upcoming colorway of the classic model, the Nike Bruin Photo Blue.

The classic Nike low-top basketball shoe is a great look for the Spring as the upper is dressed in a clean white leather that is then beautifully contrasted by the Photo Blue hits placed on the Nike Swoosh, tongue branding, and heel tab. White laces, lining and a white sole unit complete the look of the shoe. Nothing to flashy or out of the ordinary, just a classic and vintage Nike offering. Want a pair? You’ll be able to get your hands on one beginning March 26th for $110. Hot or not? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The OG colorway that release last year didn’t really catch my attention, but this one did. I may be biased due to the fact that I love shoes with blue on them. Regardless, it’s dope to see the classic make a return.

Nike Air Max 95 Cool Grey


The Nike Air Max 95 is back in a premium monochromatic “Cool Grey” look that deviates from the standard pastel wave that usually occupies the spring season. After celebrating an anniversary year that saw such classics like the Neon and a head-turning new “What The” construction, Sergio Lozano’s iconic visible air-wielding silhouette takes a more subdued approach here as the shade made famous by the Air Jordan 11 camouflages the usual gradient found on the side panel waves. Even the air bag is dressed in a Cool Grey shade to further the monochromatic aesthetic. Are you a fan of the look? If so, buy this pair AM95 from international spots like Caliroots.

While switching from grey to black Nike thought it was a good idea to throw in a couple of different colors into the mix in the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack.

The Nike Kobe 7 will come dressed in a Blux Fox colorway that is essentially a dark blue hue. Some unique features of the Nike Kobe 7 silhouette include the textured lines that can be found throughout most of the upper and the leather tongue. Kobe Bryant also wore the Kobe 7 while capturing the Gold Medal during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Take a look at official images of the Nike Kobe 7 Black Mamba and remember that they release on April 6th for a retail price of $200. Also be sure to visit our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for release dates and official images of every sneaker in the pack.

Author’s Take

I’ve never been a fan of the Nike Kobe 7 silhouette. Even now that I actually know more about Kobe sneakers I just feel like the shoe is a little too plain for my liking. Maybe it’s just this colorway.

Kobe Bryants 20 Year Sneaker Legacy Part 3: The Early Nike Years

Where we last left off in the story of Kobe Bryant’s 20 Year Sneaker Legacy, the Black Mamba had just completed his year of legendary sneaker free agency, signing a deal with Nike during the summer of 2003. Thirteen years later, we all know how important this deal was, as the partnership between Kobe and designer Eric Avar would change the way most basketball sneakers are designed and constructed today. The most revolutionary model to date in the Nike Kobe line would obviously be the Zoom Kobe IV, which re-introduced the low-top as a formidable option on the basketball court. But before we get to the low-tops, let’s take a look at the first chapter of Kobe’s tenure with Nike.

Much like his sneaker free agency, Kobe’s early Nike days were filled with PE colorways of some already existing Nike models. It wouldn’t be until his third season with Nike that his first signature sneaker was released, the Nike Zoom Kobe I. In this look back at Kobe Bryant’s monumental sneaker career, we’ll recap the early Nike years and pre-low-top era, documenting every model he wore in the first five seasons of one of the most crucial partnerships in sneaker history.

The 13th and final sneaker from the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack will be Kobe Bryant’s newest and current signature sneaker, the Nike Kobe 11.

As you can see, the Kobe 11 represents the end of Kobe’s basketball career and uses an all-black colorway on the Flyknit upper to go along with the “Fade To Black” theme of the pack. What also stands out are the gold accents on the Swoosh, heel and the date “4.13.16” on the right heel which is the date that Kobe will be playing in his final NBA game against the Utah Jazz.

Take a look at the official images below and remember that you’ll have your opportunity to pick up the Nike Kobe 11 Black Mamba when it releases on April 13th for $200. Also make sure to visit our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for additional images, release information and other updates on the entire pack.

Author’s Take

I like how Nike decided to not make this colorway just all black. The gold accents give the shoe a really nice pop and the date on the heel makes this a must-have colorway for any Kobe fans. This is definitely in my top 3 out of the entire pack.

It feels like it was only a couple of weeks ago when we were still seeing new colorways release of the Nike Kobe 10.

Now we’ll see the Kobe 10 as a part of the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack that signifies the culmination of Kobe’s NBA career. Having just released last year and many stores still carrying the Kobe 10, I’m sure that most people are very familiar with the shoe. This colorway of the Kobe 10 features a full Dark Obsidian Flyknit upper with what looks to be a dark blue translucent outsole.

Check out the official images above of the Nike Kobe 10 Black Mamba and look for them to release on April 11th for $200. You can also check in with our Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack launch page for the latest updates on the entire pack.

Author’s Take

I wasn’t a fan of the Kobe 10 when I first saw it but the more colorways that released the more I liked it. This Black Mamba colorway is one of my favorites from the entire pack.
