Is Nike Planning A Major Restock Event For Black Friday Weekend
By SoleInsider
Nike Brazil is planning a major restock for November 26th, the day after Black Friday, so does this mean that we’re in for another surprise from Nike.com and Nike SNKRS here in the states? All signs are pointing to the affirmative as Nike Brazil is restocking a random assortment of the year’s past releases highlighted by the Air Jordan 11 Low “Metallic Gold”. The eclectic release slate also features the HTM collaborative efforts of the Air Max LD-Zero, The Air Max 90 Superfly, and Air Max Ultra. The real story here is that rumors are swirling about the availability of the Acronym Nike Presto trio and the Supreme Air Max 98, each slated to arrive on the same day.
It’s still unknown what exactly Nike is planning for their November 26th release slate here in the states – it would make sense for NSW to bring back two of their most sought after collaborations of 2016 right before the year’s end for a nice holiday surprise – but only time will tell. You can check out the Swoosh’s Holiday 2016 plans in full by heading over to our always-updated release dates page. Photos of Nike Brazil’s restocks below.
So what exactly does this mean? Well it means that Nike has “beefed” up the classic runner to make it more suitable for the Fall and Winter seasons. How did they do that? They covered the shoe with a new water-resistant upper, and also placed a new rugged outsole to provide you with better traction.
Take a look at on-feet pics of this Olive Flax colorway above and let us know your thoughts on the new Nike Internationalist Utility. Do you plan on picking up a pair?
The cool thing about this sneakerboot version of the Internationalist is that it doesn’t look too different in comparison to the original. Let’s just hope that upper really is water-resistant.

The NIKEiD LeBron Soldier 10 Camo options go live tonight at 7:00PM EST right as the Cavaliers take on the Wizards.

The Nike LeBron/Kyrie Four Wins Pack Is Releasing Again At Foot Locker
By SoleInsider
The LeBron-Love-Kyrie partnership has never been stronger following the Cavaliers’ NBA championship this past June. It took contributions from all three players – LeBron’s career-defining block, Kyrie’s cold-blooded game-winning three, and Kevin Love’s defensive stopping of Steph Curry to win it all. Nike Basketball celebrated with the LeBron and Kyrie “Four Wins” Pack featuring four different combinations of the Kyrie 2 and LeBron Soldier 10 PEs that the two Swoosh stars laced up in each victory. Now we have some good news: The 4 Wins Pack Game 3 “Homecoming” selection just restocked today at Foot Locker’s 34th street location.
The Nike Basketball 4 Wins Pack “Game 3” honors the Cavaliers’ first win of the NBA Finals with a clean Kyrie 2 offering featuring a “Home” inclined white upper, head-turning metallic gold midsole, and contrasting elements of a Cavs’ themed wine Swoosh and icy bottom. The LeBron Soldier 10 utilizes the signature all black upper (whether this was inspired by LBJ’s love of the Undertaker remains to be seen) while an icy bottom keeps things in line with the Kyrie offering. Are you excited about your chance to grab the first offering from the Nike Basketball 4 Wins Pack? Check out more shots below and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

Oh, hey – this Kevin Durant guy is pretty good. Since joining the Golden State Warriors, a basketball team in the Western Conference that won 73 out of 82 regular season games last year, KD has been nothing short of his usual self, which includes averages of 28 ppg and 8 rbg. His Nike KD 9 has been a stellar performance model thanks to a 3/4 length Zoom-cushioned midsole unit, dynamic Flyknit upper for a malleable, ventilated fit, and unique mid-top ankle support that you just slip into.
The colorways have been releasing en masse since the start of the regular season with the likes of a KD 9 “Oreo” and KD 9 “Christmas” bridging the gap between on-court functionality and aesthetics that would work equally as well in a lifestyle context. This Niek KD 9 Dark Obsidian continues that momentum with the perfect pop of Hyper Turquoise on the visible Zoom midsole while shades of Dark Obsidian and a lighter slate blue gives the upper a 50/50 split. A metallic Swoosh finishes things off with a premium touch to contrast a stark black midsole.
Check out more photos of this upcoming KD 9 Dark Obsidian release and we’ll keep you in the loop on an official release date right here on Sneaker News.
Saying Goodbye To The Nike Vault With The Nike Kobe AD
By SoleInsider
This past summer, the Nike Vault closed its doors for the last time. The store, adjacent to the Staples Center, was a uh, staple of the L.A. Live experience throughout this decade, serving as a host to anything new Nike Los Angeles might having cooking, whether it be a new Kobe Bryant signature shoe launch, an appearance by stars like Blake Griffin and Chris Paul or the debut of the Nike+ experience. As somebody who has been inside the Vault countless times as a fan and a member of the media, it’s a little bittersweet to see the space become just a memory.
In a way, the Vault lived and died with Kobe. The Vault treated Mamba like royalty, as his signature product was always prominently featured inside the store. So many limited edition Kobe signatures dropped at The Vault before anywhere else and if you were that extreme Kobe collector that had to have everything, they were the store that produced a lot of the special packaging that left you in awe. Nike Kobe 8 Mambacurial Speed Pack, I’m looking right at you…
As that space undergoes the process of becoming something totally different, we paid our respects to The Vault with Kobe’s latest signature shoe, the Nike Kobe AD Every Kobe signature shoe imaginable has stepped foot inside The Vault at some point in its history, so why not the latest? Think of it as the launch event inside The Vault that never happened. At least it’s a lot more sunny and less morbid than the actual AD launch with a figuratively dead Mamba.
The first colorway (pictured below) of the Nike Kobe AD drops on November 22 for $160.
Alongside the stellar Nike 12 Soles Collection for Holiday 2016, the Swoosh will be also unveiling a new Nike Air Uptempo Olive Pack.
Featuring the Air Max Tempo, Air Max Uptempo 97 and the Air Max Uptempo 2 (featured) — all three silhouettes are defined by a tonal suede composition colored in olive green. A crisp white rubber sole unit complements and tops off the respective palette overall.
The entire set is suggested to make its debut at select Nike retailers starting December 3.
I’ve always been a fan of this line. I haven’t purchased it in a while and I might do so now since I really like this colorway. This should garner enough attention overall.
The Nike KD 9 Fire & Ice edition consists as a kids’ exclusive iteration of the silhouette, which takes inspiration from one of Kevin Durant’s memorable childhood moments.
When practicing outside during the winter in Maryland, Durant would pour hot water on his hands to offset the temperature in order to continue perfecting his game. That defining moment is essentially symbolized on this pair, as one is rendered in red, while the other is draped in icy blue.
In addition, the toe section is comprised with a reflective accent, while each tongue tag bears the opposite color. Finally, all are adhered atop an icy translucent outsole.
Priced at $125, you can purchase this limited edition pair at select Nike retailers nationwide now, starting today.
This is one of the better iterations of the silhouette so far. I like the theme and the mismatching offering. I guess it is more suitable for children.
Kyrie Irving has already confirmed that we’ll be seeing the Nike Kyrie 3 starting Christmas Day (on his feet), but, sources online have provided us with a sneak peek of the forthcoming sneaker in advance.
Compared to its predecessor, the Kyrie 3 strays away from the distinctive cross-strap, while still retaining its mid-cut profile and comprised of fused mesh. The side panels and rear portion seem to bear a new pattern as well, in addition to the outsole also inheriting a new traction pattern to help increase Kyrie?s quick footwork.
It’s unclear if this will be the inaugural pair, but, the new sneaker is suggested to release on January 21st.
Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for its official unveiling.

All three feature tonal olive suede uppers with solid sail soles, but we can confirm that more tonal colorways are definitely on the way.
