By SoleInsider

Jade is a one-of-a-kind stone with a signature green hue that traditionally signifies the 35th Anniversary of marriage. It also represents power and wealth, with the stone itself being a symbol of status. 2017 is, of course, the 35th Anniversary of the birth of the Air Force 1, so the reference to the green stone seems only natural.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Ultra Nai Ke and the Air Force 1 Upstep for women feature jade green heel-tabs and gold trim on the tongue and lace dubrae. Additionally, the men’s version makes use of jade green sections on the sole, while the women’s Upstep model opts for an opaque sole.

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.
