Brown leather is then placed on the heel along with a white midsole and gum rubber outsole for the icing on the cake.

The Nike Air VaporMax Could Possibly Be Releasing In March
By SoleInsider
New sneakers release info alert! Well sort of. The Nike Air VaporMax is the next generation of Air Max sneakers. We’ve been talking about this model since early last year when Nike first unveiled it at its Innovation Summit, but Nike has yet to release the silhouette as a GR. Now it looks like we won’t have to wait much longer as the shoe is said yo have a potential release date that will fall sometime in the month of March.
The Nike Air VaporMax is set to be the newest futuristic model from the Air Max family and Nike could not be anymore excited about it.
Here’s what Nike had to say about the shoe
?The breakthrough came courtesy of new technologies that allow the Nike VaporMax Air unit to act as a standalone outsole. Where previous Air units had to be insulated by a secondary rubber layer for protection and improved durability, new innovation allows designers to incorporate the Air and exterior layer into one holistic VaporMax Air unit. And where previous units needed to be shaped with inflexible structural areas, the new unit can independently maintain its given form, with elasticity.
The former innovation allows additional Air to be integrated into the unit while the latter allows for more extreme Air geometries that enable designers to place even more Air directly underfoot. Together, these capabilities wholly eliminate the need for a traditional foam midsole.
By shedding the weight and bulk of a foam layer, the new midsole achieves greater flexibility and spring without compromising structure, while also reducing weight and waste. And by placing the upper directly on the VaporMax Air unit, a pillowy sensation and greater energy response are produced.?
Take a look at the two colorways above and stay tuned as more info begins to surface.

After a big debut in late 2016 for the stylish Nike SF-AF1, it looks like things are just warming up for the ultra high-top, military-inspired remodel for the Air Force 1. So far we’ve only seen tonal colorways for the SF-AF1, and that doesn’t appear to be changing quite yet, although if Nike’s history of producing an uncountable number of colorways for most of their shoes is any indication of things to come, expect some new color blocks eventually.
For now, we catch wind of another tonal look (although these do get a very lightly contrasting black outsole) for the silhouette, this time for women, in Binary Blue. The dark blue shade hits the entire upper, once again constructed in leather and durable ballistic nylon. Get a full look here, and expect the “Binary Blue” SF-AF1 to arrive at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com later this month.
Now firmly in place as a regularly produced model for Nike Sportswear with a wide range of colorways, the Nike Air Max Zero has certainly lost some of the mystique that surrounded it back when it originally released in limited quantities for Air Max Day in 2015. But that’s OK, because as long as they keep dropping clean looks like this latest in Gym Red, nobody is going to lose any respect for the Tinker Hatfield designed concept model. This new offering features an all-red upper that avoids any “Red October” comparison thanks to the white sole. Expect these soon at Nike Sportswear suppliers in the US, or if you can’t wait order a pair right now from overseas shops like Titolo.

Author’s Take:
Renz Ofiaza, News: Design-wise, it’s not better looking as the Kyrie 2 in my opinion. The revamped upper looks cool still and the overall profile is still an admirable build. This colorway isn’t that bad either overall.
