What you see above is the newest of the new coming out of Nike. Known as the Nike LunarCharge, this is Nike’s take on performance meets style. Versatile in appearance, the Nike LunarCharge grabs inspiration from various different existing Nike models. For starters, the eyestay is derived from the classic AM 90. The neoprene upper is inspired fro the Nike Air Flow, and the bootie construction was borrowed from the Nike Air Presto. The overall shape of the shoe pays homage to the Nike Air Current, while this version of the Lunarlon cushioning is the same one used on the recently released Nike LunarEpic. The colorway you see above comes in Black and White and is set to release on November 18th for $120. What are your initial thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

I like it. You’d think with all these features from different models it would be a hybrid nightmare, but I don’t know, man. I think it has potential to be a good versatile shoe. That Lunarlon sole is a big plus.

The Christmas vibes are coming early this year as Nike will be releasing this festive colorway of the Nike SB Dunk High later this week.

Covered in a full Gym Red velvet all throughout the upper, there’s no denying that this colorway of the SB Dunk High reminds us all of Jolly Old St. Nich and his signature red attire. The silky velvet upper is contrasted by hits of White on the rubber midsole and the Nike branding on the tongue. Finishing things off is a Gym Red outsole.

Look for the Nike SB Dunk High Red Velvet to release on November 11th for $110.

If weren’t able to fit into the Jordan 1 Heiress then here’s another suitable option. I mean it’s not burgundy, but it’s still velvet and we all know that the SB Dunk and Air Jordan 1 are very similar.

Not every sneaker that releases that vaguely looks like an already established popular colorway has to take on the nickname of the previous color scheme. That being said, don’t call these the “Space Jam” Soldier 10’s. Sure, they do look similar to the classic black and purple-accented colorway of the Air Jordan 11, but we assure you that they don’t actually have anything to do with each other. But if you must give the colorway a nickname, let’s go with “Sacramento Kings”, as the shoe often worn by the team’s star player DeMarcus Cousins does match his uniform with its black, purple, and silver makeup. Get an official look at the latest Nike LeBron Soldier 10 here, and stay tuned for a release date.

Patriots fans, rejoice. Yesterday we previewed an upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Low “Patriots” pair featuring owner Robert Kraft’s favorite premium leather upper (the same combination was featured on last year’s Nike Lunar Force 1). While initially expected to be an exclusive for Bostonian sneaker specialists, Bodega, Tom Brady faithful can take solace in knowing that they’ll have another shot to grab the Patriots Air Force 1 Low on Friday, November 11th for $150 USD.

The Patriots Air Force 1 rendition features a supple black leather upper for a luxurious aesthetic while a white midsole and outsole unit slims things down thanks to an Ultra Force construction. You won’t notice the difference until you see the extra carved out grooves in the model’s sole. A Metallic Silver Swoosh could either represent the Pat’s helmet color or, given their track record over the past decade-and-a-half, their frequent trips to the Super Bowl. What do you think of this upcoming pair? Check out more info below and grab your size via Nike SNKRS this Friday.
