Nike Sportswear definitely won over some retro running fans when the re-released the cult classic known as the Nike Zoom Talaria in its iconic neon colorway featuring that ultra comfortable exposed Zoom Air on the bottom.

Its Time To Shine For Nike Basketball In The NCAA March Madness Tournament
By SoleInsider
Before the high-octane action of the NBA Playoffs in late April, the nation’s best college teams – 64 of them to be exact – will convene for a one-and-done sudden death battle called the NCAA Tournament. With millions of eyeballs watching each and every contest, footwear brands have prepared new gear for these youngsters to wear, and beginning during the Sweet 16 round, Nike will unleash the “Time To Shine” Pack consisting of the Nike Kyrie 3, Nike PG 1, and the all-new Nike KD 9 Elite.
The colorways are kept simple, with white, grey, and black options acting as the foundations for the three shoes, but what’s making each shoe pop is the shiny iridescent finish on the Swoosh logos of each shoe. Nike has considerably toned down the colorways of their shoes, spurning the louder hues for more subdued, palette-cleansing options with more minute yet powerful details. While the Nike PG 1 “Prototype” aka “Shining” has released and sold out, the Kyrie 3 and KD 9 Elite are set to release soon.
A bevy of Air Max silhouettes will be offered throughout this month in celebration of Air Max Day (March 26).
One notable standout consists of this Nike Air Max 1 Master, which is inspired by a previous documentary that focused on passionate Air Max collectors (seen below). The iconic runner?s distinct aesthetic is reflective of the Swoosh?s popular ?What The? motif.
With premium black leather comprises its majority, the defining theme is focalized at the mudguard that encompasses the profile, which incorporates portions from twelve iconic styles such as the classic atmos x Air Max 1 Safari, to the original red and blue editions, Patta, Viotech colorways and more in its respective material makeup.
A white version of the model is also available, although, it’s limited to friends and family only.
