As you may already know, the Nike Air Foamposite One will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017 which means that Nike will be bringing back some classic colorways as well as will be releasing some new ones.

The Swoosh has gotten a bit of a head-start on the 20th anniversary festivities as they have joined forces with WZK Shanghai to put together one of the most amazing Foamposite displays/exhibitions that we’ve ever seen. Consisting of some rare gems like the “Tianjin” and “Paranorman” Foamposites, the space has a little something for any and all fans of Foamposites. This project was created as part of Nike’s “12 Soles” campaign for the holiday season and also includes a special retrospective Foamposite book which is limited to only 150 copies that will be given out to people who buy the Dr. Doom Foams at the exhibit.

Take a look at detailed images of the massive exhibit that is currently open right now in the Shanghai area.

One of the biggest storylines of 2017 will undoubtedly be Nike’s celebration of the iconic Foamposite, the futuristic basketball shoe that landed on Earth in 1997. With several original Foamposite releases confirmed for next year (starting with the Royals in mid-January) and plenty of new styles likely to come forward, there’s no question that the silhouette, once regarded as the most coveted in sneaker culture, will regain that prestige.

As part of Nike Sportswear’s 12 Soles campaign for the Holiday season, the Swoosh teamed up with WZK Shanghai for a jaw-dropping display of Foamposites over the last two decades – even unreleased samples that first surfaced in 1995. Some of these gems include the incredible “comic strip” Foamposites, the grail-status “Tianjin”, and even an early “Royal” sample that features NIKE molded into the upper.

Alongside this display, Nike and WZK Shanghai worked with Instagram personality @3dk129 to create a retrospective Foamposite book; only 150 copies of the book will be given out to those who pick up a pair of the “Dr. Doom” Foamposites at the space. Get an exclusive look at the Nike Sportswear 12 Soles Foamposite Exhibit below.

Part of Nike’s “12 Soles” Collection for the holiday season, the Nike Air Max Uptempo in this Urban Haze colorway will arrive at retailers next week.

Known as the first Nike Basketball shoe to feature full-length visible Nike Air cushioning, the Air Max Uptempo?s original print ad heralded the shoe as having ?The most Nike-Air cushioning we?ve ever put into a sole.? Standing the test of time thanks to the innovations in visible Air, the Air Max Uptempo returns to the forefront in a new Urban Haze colorway that features suede all throughout the upper with a contrasting White sole unit.

Pick up your pair come December 20th for a retail price of $150.

I like the colorway, but I’m not a big fan of the silhouette. I don’t plan on picking up a pair.

Nike is proud to introduce their brand new silhouette. Dubbed the Nike Aptare Essential, has that same laid back, casual style and feel that worked so well for the Roshe Run a few years ago. Let’s get a closer look at this upcoming model.

The Nike Aptare Essential opts for a laceless design consisting of a drawstring lacing enclosure essentially making it a slip-on sneaker. The shape is very similar to a Roshe, while the toe  box appears to be inspired by the Sock Dart as the mesh constructed upper comes equipped with a synthetic strip for added protection and durability. Branding-wise, a “NIKE” hit is imprinted on the heel cage in tonal fashion. Thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

It kind of looks like a swimming shoe, don’t you think? It’s a cool idea, but I really don’t see myself wearing these at any time.

The Nike Metcon 3 is the latest version of one of Nike’s most beloved trainers that they have to offer. This time around, Nike will release two different versions of the shoe: The Nike Metcon 3 and the Nike Metcon DSK Flyknit. Based off the name alone, it’s safe to say that one will come with a Flyknit upper and the other won’t.

The regular Nike Metcon 3 is lighter and more flexible than ever, an ideal design for strength drills and high intensity cardio sessions. The Flyknit is also just as good, the only difference is that it comes equipped with the aforementioned woven upper. Both pairs will have features such as a dual-density outsole, an elevated 4mm offset (Nike Metcon 3) or 6mm offset (Flyknit version), and a drop-on articulated cushioning system that adds comfort while working out.

Release details are as follows. The Nike Metcon 3 will debut on NIKEiD on December 19th, and release on January 5th. The Nike Metcon 3 DSX Flyknit will release on Nike.com on January 2nd.

I’m interested in trying on the Flyknit pair, it looks interesting to say the least.

Previously expected to drop later this week, the release date for the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal has been pushed back to 2017.

This makes plenty of sense since the silhouette won’t officially celebrate its 20th anniversary until next year, so pushing the release back a few weeks would be a proper way to celebrate. The new release date for the OG Royal Foamposites is now scheduled for January 13, 2017. Retail price will be $230. This will be a great way for Nike to kick off the 20th anniversary of the Foamposite One, with the pair that started it all.

Be sure to visit our Nike Air Foamposite One Royal 20th Anniversary hub page for the latest images, release information, and updates on this release.

Nike continues to create new PE colorways of the Kobe A.D. for rising star DeMar DeRozan as we now take a look at an Alternate PE pair.

Already seen in a Home White and Away Red version, this latest colorway of the Kobe A.D. designed for DeMar features a black upper with red detailing on the inner liner and the branding on the heel. White is then seen on the Swoosh branding on the side panels and the Kobe logo on the tongue. Speckling on the Swoosh, midsole, and heel counter wrap things up on this Kobe A.D. that DeRozan has been wearing on the court lately.

Is this the best pair yet? Let us know in the comments below.

With all of the technological advancements that Nike Skateboarding is championing on the likes of their latest batch of signatures (think the Nike SB Koston 3 Hyperfeel, for example with all of its Flyknit and lifestyle touches throughout) there’s still nothing quite like a classic. That’s why we’re so excited that the Nike SB Dunk Low is back in a Pro construction complete with an iconic color combination of Black/Gum for the coming winter season.

We’ve seen this combination on the Nike SB Dunk countless times, but the addition of a smooth black leather paired with synthetic suede panels is a nice change of pace. White branding matches the midsole and tongue branding for a classic finish while a gum bottom hides additional Zoom Air for added comfort. Grab your pair today from select spots like Premier and on eBay.

After sharing their exclusive look inside the Nike archives, Coveteur is back to share a second part of their trip out to Beaverton with a look inside the Blue Ribbon Studio. What exactly is the blue Ribbon Studio, you may be asking? Well, It’s basically a giant craft room that any Nike can go visit in their down time to play with 3D printers, laser cutters, and even googly eyes and pom-poms to work on their creativity and get inspiration. See a sample of the images Coveteur shot in the Blue Ribbon Studio below, and get their full story here.

Those of you hoping to grab the Nike Foamposite Royal 20th Anniversary edition this weekend will have to wait just a little while longer, as the release date is now January 13th, 2017 for $230 USD. Perhaps Eric Avar’s most profound basketball design, the Nike Air Foamposite One was made famous by Penny Hardaway and a college Mike Bibby (he broke them out during his NCAA March Madness run in 1997 despite the Royal Blue shade being a bit lighter than his Arizona uniform).

The Nike Air Foamposite One XX OG “Dark Neon” has been a groundbreaking release in the past with a cult-following in certain cities – just listen to basically any Wale song to hear the DMV native talk about the model’s importance throughout Washington D.C. The Nike Air Foamposite One will see a number of other OG colorways release throughout 2017 in honor of the model’s 20th Anniversary, so what other pairs do you want to see hit retailers? Check out more detailed shots below and head over to our Release Dates page for an updated look at all the coming attractions.

In addition to the Flyknit upper, the Metcon 3 DSX also features a dual-density outsole, elevated 6mm offset, and a drop-in articulated cushioning system for more comfort through your reps.

DeMar DeRozan is the perfect NBA player to carry the Black Mamba’s signature line forward now that Kobe has retired. His mid-range game is one of the smoothest in the league, and he can get to the hoop with an array of Eurosteps and aggressive dribble drives that make him and the Toronto Raptors historic early-season offense a joy to watch. Nike Basketball continues to outfit DeMar in a number of awesome Nike Kobe AD PEs throughout the season, and this “Alternate” black pair might just be the finest exclusive yet.

The Nike Kobe AD Alternate PE comes equipped with a black engineered mesh upper, a glossy black heel counter complete with matching red and white speckles, and an icy outsole for the perfect Raptors-themed offering. While this pair isn’t available for purchase, you can always try your hand at customizing your own Kobe AD creation on NIKEiD.
