It turns out that the Nike Air Presto Safari in the Gold colorway that we shared with you yesterday is only one of a handful of colorways that will be releasing next month. Earlier today a few more options rocking the same theme have surfaced and we have images of all three pairs to share with you.

Coming in your choice of White/Grey/Red, Gym Red/Blue /White or Turbo Green/Grey/White, all three offerings come with a tonal base offset by the Safari print noted on the cages and toe bumper. White midsole, Black outsole and branding in a contrasting colorway complete the makeup of all three pairs. Said to be a Quickstrike release, it is being said that all three pairs will be making their debut next month. Which pair from the three are you feeling the most? I’d have to go with the White, Grey and Red pair. Anyone else feeling a White Cement 3 vibe on those?

All three options will come with a translucent strap, a White midsole and a Black outsole. The White and Turquoise pairs come with additional White hits on the heel and toe bumper, while the Maize pair opts for Black hits on those same areas. No word yet on when these will drop, but the sooner the better, right? Thoughts?

Back in 2015, Nike Senior Director of Athlete Innovation, Tobie Hatfield, introduced the Flyease. This revolutionary sneaker was created for athletes with specific needs and allows the wearer to slip the sneaker on and off without the use of laces.

Ever since then Nike has put extra attention on the concept by utilizing it on Nike models such as the the Flyease, the Nike LeBron Soldier collection, and the Nike Pegasus 33 runner. Further development of this concept came about late last year when Nike CEO Mark Parker launched a competition centered around the Flyease technology. Designers from all over the world displayed their work and today Nike announced the winner who goes by the name of Brett Drake. Below you will find a excerpt of what Drake had to say about his inspiration, learning process and what it meant to be chosen the winner from over 100 competitors:

I really want to be involved in the process for this shoe and continue to work with them in this project. Any involvement I can have, any chance I have to learn about the process of developing, innovating, product testing, or whatever would be very valuable and if any of that leads to a position in the footwear industry, that would be great. I?m just trying to enjoy the moment now, but eventually that would be great.

Isaiah Thomas is going through hell with the tragic loss of his younger sister before the start of his first round matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Isaiah has carried on playing major minutes anyway, dedicating each performance to Chyna on his Nike Kobe AD PE. Nike Basketball rounds out their ongoing “Out of Nowhere” video series with the 5’9″ point guard as a familiar storyline echoes throughout the short spot. He was the last pick in the NBA Draft, and because he was so undersized, he was often overlooked and given the role as a 6th man scorer instead of being looked at as a future All-Star who could lead a team to the 1st seed in his conference. Check out the full video below and watch the other episodes featuring Devin Booker and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

LeBron and the Cavaliers continue to wait out the remainder of the first round to find out who their next opponent is which means more rest for The King. Nike Basketball isn’t taking any breaks though, as the Swoosh continues to think up new, creative silhouettes with LBJ’s stamp of approval. This unconfirmed LeBron model is definitely a head-turner thanks to iridescent hits throughout the midsole, a Soldier-esque outsole unit with inspirations from that ongoing hexagonal Zoom Air, and a mesh slip-on upper. Chances are this is just another LeBron Ambassador takedown headed for the Asian market and not the Lebron 15, but we’re still waiting for more details. What do you think of this unique new LeBron model? Stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

For decades, Nike has flexed its innovative muscles through performance footwear. Some view their shoes as wearable art, while others depend on their products solely for performance use. What every Nike product has in common is that they were created to serve a real purpose, and for decades the avant-garde thinkers in Beaverton have defied convention and produced some truly incredible footwear that not only raised the bar in design, but emphasized just how important a proper pair of sneakers were to the outcome of physical activity. Nike continues to remain obsessed with enhancing the athlete, and in 2015, a true pinnacle of design purpose was reached when Nike and Tobie Hatfield introduced Flyease, a wrap-around zipper solution that allowed athletes of specific needs to slide the foot in and out while providing ample lockdown without the use of shoelaces.

Tobie Hatfield, the Senior Director of Athlete Innovation at Nike, has been involved in several projects that addressed these insights throughout his nearly three-decade career at Nike. In 2012 he crossed paths with Matthew Walzer, a basketball fanatic and Nike loyalist who had encountered challenges with footwear due to his Cerebral Palsy. Walzer wrote a letter to Nike detailing the challenges that he had tying his shoes, and Tobie quickly reached out to Matthew to begin working on prototypes to address his needs. In 2015, the first-ever Flyease sneaker released to the masses and has seen additional iterations in the LeBron Soldier line while expanding into the running category with the Pegasus 33.

Late last year, Nike launched an open design competition called the Nike Ease Challenge. CEO Mark Parker invited designers from across the nation to create footwear that was easy to put on, remove, and lock down – similar to how Flyease made the LeBron basketball shoe easy to wear for Walzer and anyone else with comparable disabilities. Over 100 submissions were entered, and that number was whittled down to fifteen, three, and one after months of review and presentations. Today, Nike proudly announces the winner of the first-ever Nike Ease Challenge, but just before the big unveil, Sneaker News got a chance to speak with Tobie and Brett Drake to get their thoughts on the Ease Challenge, the future of sneaker innovation, and more.

This recently leaked colorway of the Nike PG 1 is definitely making some waves. We gave you a first look of the shoe a couple days ago, and today we have another image of the colorway many of us are saying is Undefeated-inspired.

This version of the Nike PG 1 rocks a Olive mesh and suede upper that is accented by the Black hits on the Swoosh and inner bootie, as well as the Orange hits on the branding, Flywire on the strap system and the top eyelets.  Additional features on the shoe include the Olive laces, White speckled midsole and Black outsole. Undefeated-inspired or not, this is definitely a really impressive colorway of the Nike PG 1. No word on yet on whether these end up dropping or not but as soon as something is announced we will be sure to let you know.
