Nike is bringing back the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 in a way you’ve never seen before thanks to the brand’s “12 Soles” Christmas Collection. The Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 “Urban Haze” featuring the perfect balance of lifestyle suede in a tonal olive green will drop on December 20th for $160 USD.

The Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 followed one of the most popular releases of ’95 with the original Uptempo. (You can read more of that model via our Flashback to ’95 installment). The Uptempo 2 benefited from a truly unique 180 degree Air Max unit on the heel for extra support and even included a graphic pattern inside for a twist. The upper includes lifestyle touches of suede to contrast the sports mesh throughout while an off-white Sail midsole/outsole unit adds a distinct yet clean finish.

Nike has big plans for this coming Holiday 2016 season including the surprise retro of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 for their “12 Soles” Christmas campaign. If the tonal olive colorway that unifies the upcoming release slate isn’t for you, then this premium Black/White offering would be a nice alternative.

The Air Max Uptempo 2 has long been a favorite of those nostalgic for some 90s basketball as the high-top even featured added graphic patterns on the 180 degree Air Max unit. Here the unique midsole is toned down thanks to a matching white on white shade while premium suede accents compliment the sports mesh in a matching black shade. Are you excited for the return of the Uptempo 2?

The release date is still unknown for this simple Back/White colorway but stick with us right here on Sneaker News for more of the latest updates. More to come in the near future.

After a brief preview of a “Duke” colorway of the Kyrie 3 last week, we’re really excited for what’s to come. Today we get a look at not one, not two, but five upcoming general release colorways that will begin to release this January 2017,  highlighted by that Bright Crimson/Black option shown above.

While the tech-specs of the Nike Kyrie 3 are still unknown, it does look like Nike Basketball is continuing to push the boundaries of unique traction patterns with Kyrie’s third silhouette. Speckled midsoles are in play for most of the pairs while a simple Black/White, Cavs-esque Maroon, All-Red, and Blue/Yellow for those Cavaliers’ alternate jerseys will all be releasing in the near future.

I like this new interpretation of the silhouette. The pattern is a cool look, but, in terms of comfort and weight, it should be more versatile as well.

The Nike Air Max Plus goes predatory for a special “La Requin” pack this fall. For those that are proficient in French, ‘la requin’ translates to the shark, a nickname given to the original blue colorway of the Air Max Plus in France due to its similar look to the fiercest hunters of the sea. With this concept, NikeLab has created two similar looks for the Air Max Plus featuring two shades of aqua blue to mimic the look of sunlit water reflecting off a shark’s skin, each with white gradient fades to the sole to represent the white of the marine beast’s belly.

The NikeLab Air Max Plus “La Requin” pack surfaces at select retailers and on the Nike SNKRS app on November 23rd for $175 each.

It’s still versatile enough for all genders. The colorway is pretty appealing and it’s a solid option for the ladies this season.

I?m not a fan of Foams, but this is such a simple and clean colorway. I think it?s a must-have for fans of the silhouette.

The post Will You Cop Or Drop The Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

This week the ill-named Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom gets a retro release. Rehashing my objections about the sneaker is practically a party game at the KoF Offices (“take a shot every time Juan complains about the Doom Foams”), so we won’t bring them up again (for now). However, what we can do is make a pair of Foamposite Pros that is actually apropos of the name Dr. Doom. How? With NBA 2K17 of course…

Victor Von Doom’s primary colors are Forest Green and Silver with Gold accents highlighting his belt and cape. There’s a few ways we can get the Doom vibe on the Foams, so we just did them all, including an Infamous Iron Man version, which is Doom’s take on Tony Stark’s armor. It’s… a complicated story that we probably shouldn’t get into right now.

And just to show you we’re I’m not totally against the black and white colorway (which is was already pre-made in 2K17), here’s a look at our creations in the game side-by-side. I’m all for a simple colored pair of Foams, but they need to be set free from its horrible name.

Which one is your preferred pair of Doom Foams and would you rather have these than the one that shouldn’t be named Doom (takes shot) but is dropping this week?

Calling all Nike Air Huarache fans, a new colorway recently dropped and we’re here to provide you with some updated imagery. Rocking a color scheme any Boston Celtic fan would love, let’s get a closer look.

The Nike Air Huarache starts off with a Sail color for the base. Giving the subtle underlay some life are the Pine Green and Gold Leaf hits noted on the side panels, heel cage and tongue branding. A little bit of Grey hits found throughout give the shoe a finer color blocking motif. Out now, pick up a pair of your own for the retail price of $120.

It’s been a minute since I’ve picked up a new pair of Huaraches. With that said, these are pretty dope especially with the clean color blocking.

The Black colorway of the Nike LunarCharge just dropped, but Nike is wasting no time is unveiling a forthcoming colorway of one of their newest models. This time around the shoe is done in a Fall-appropriate Medium Olive colorway. Let’s get a first look at the shoe.

The Nike LunarCharge was created by blending a lot of traits of some of Nike most notable from silhouettes from their rich history. For example, the LunarCharge gets its overall structure from the Nike Air Flow. While the Nike Current, Air Max 90 and Presto were big inspirations in the overall look and feel of the shoe. A perfect blend of performance and lifestyle, the shoe also comes equipped with a one of a kind Lunarlon midsole for max comfort. Take a look at the shoe above and let us know if you plan on picking up a pair when Nike releases them on December 9th for $120. The shoe will release in both men’s and women’s sizes.

Author’s Take

I ned to try on a pair. I really like them, especially in this colorway. I think Nike’s got a winner with this one.

Last featured in oatmeal, the Nike Roshe Waffle Racer NM receives a new vibrant finish as part of its Fall/Winter 2016 lineup.

This time flaunting light bone across its textile base, the hybrid model is punctuated with patterned suede overlays across the toe, eye stays and heel in contrasting blue cap. Gold leaf accents are further applied on the heel tab to further pronounce its look, while tonal black swooshes, a white midsole and black outsole finishes off the overall profile.

You can purchase this latest rendition at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.

I like the hybrid look of the sneaker. It?s a bit more stylish than a typical Roshe and this colorway is pretty appealing in general.

In addition to the recently featured women’s paisley edition, the men’s Nike Air Max BW Ultra SE receives a new colorway of hasta/ghost green for its latest iteration this season.

The understated hue essentially drapes the sneaker’s seamless foam-like and synthetic upper, while vibrant hits of ghost green are implemented on the inner lining, faded detail across the heel and in the visible air bubble unit to pronounce its profile. Finally, a full-length rubber sole unit finishes off the sleek design.

This model is a sleek pair and the colorway is perfect for the season. I like how the more vibrant green accents are kept to a minimum.
