First Look At The Nike Air Max Trainer 17
By SoleInsider
Nike Sportswear continues to experiment with premium leathers and woven constructions, and the upcoming Nike Air Max Trainer 17 is the perfect combination of both. The coming model features a comfortable neoprene slip-on upper while a smooth Vachetta Tan leather base utilizes a bold ventilated side panel with cross-hash woven stitching adding a decisive design. A full-length visible air unit adds the luxurious comfort that Air Max enthusiasts will love, this time in a smoky Dark Obsidian to add a high-contrast aesthetic. Check out another angle of the upcoming Nike Air Max Trainer 17 below and stay tuned for a release in the new year.
The Nike Kobe 11 Elite “Christmas” is now available! What promises to be the last Nike Kobe 11 release before the Nike Kobe AD fully takes over signature duties is one of the most vibrant offerings to date, as Liquid Lime takes over the Flyknit woven silhouette in a Volt-esque array that’s sure to turn heads.
The Nike Kobe 11 Elite Ghost of Christmas past (as it’s officially titled) also features an overhauled branding as Nike purists will notice the return of the subtle mini Swoosh on the side panels. The heel is transformed by a skeleton-inspired construction while the tongue utilizes glow-in-the-dark accents to match the unique ghost insole logo. An icy outsole featuring Zoom Air technology and natural motion flexibility is perfect for hooping or casual use.
Nike Basketball will opt for a unifying white/gold theme for the upcoming Christmas Day games this Sunday. The Hyperdunk Low and the Hypershift both feature snow-white uppers with golden swooshes and marble detailing on rubber outsoles of the shoe to further create that wintry vibe. Nike will announce a few more PEs this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled for those before this Sunday’s big games.
More Colorways Of The Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Are Coming
By SoleInsider
Nike created a hit this year when they released the Nike Special Field Air Force 1 in early November. A new take on the sneakerboot, the Special Field Air Force 1 looks almost identical to a regular Air Force 1 but with a higher cut and the addition of some branding and straps on the ankle.
With Winter officially kicking off a couple of days ago, it appears that Nike has more colorways planned for the near future. Up above is a new black/gum colorway for the ladies which features a full black leather and canvas upper with a gum outsole. The branding on the ankle strap also reads “Goddess Of Victory” which leads us to believes that this is a women’s colorway. Plus a black/gum pair already dropped in men’s sizes.
There is no confirmed release date yet but you can expect this Special Field Air Force 1 to release in early 2017. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

The Nike SB Janoski Gets A Protective Coating Inspired By The Dunk
By SoleInsider
Can’t decide if your next skate shoe purchase from Nike SB should be the Janoski or Dunk? Now you can have them both in one?sort of?with this latest iteration of the Zoom Stefan Janoski. The newest reconstruction of the shoe features protective coating across the suede upper to add durability, that comes in a replication of the lines of the classic Dunk. The “Dunkified” Janoski debuts in two colorway seen here: a black and red combo that should also remind you of the “Bred” Air Jordan 1 and an all-black upper with white Swooshes.

Complimenting the all-White look is the Sail-colored midsole placed right on top of the Black outsole. As of right now it is being reported that the shoe will be releasing Spring of 2017.

The Nike Flyknit Racer Will Drop In Its Cleanest Colorway Yet Come Spring 2017
By SoleInsider
The Nike Flyknit Racer has been a must-own model ever since its debut at the 2012 London Olympics. Now nearly a half-decade later, Nike Sportswear is still giving us reasons to want more pairs with elevated colorways from the Triple Black, Pure Platinum, and more. 2017 will have more heat in store too, as today we get a look at the coming Nike Flyknit Racer White Sail.
It’s as close to a “Triple White” theme as the breathable offering has come yet, as the white on white Flyknit is accented by a Sail Swoosh that you can almost make out on the side panel. The reflective touches remain on the heel while a black outsole ensures that you won’t worry too much about putting this Nike Flyknit Racer White Sail to good use come the new year. What do you think of the look? Be sure to check out more detailed shots below and we’ll keep you updated on a Release Date in the near future right here on Sneaker News. In the meantime, check out more Flyknit Racer offerings on Nike.com.
The Nike Air Max 95 is one of the most recognizable running models ever. Even when Nike Sportswear tinkers with the iconic design to recontextualize it for the colder months or updates the outsole with a lighter, Ultra Moire inspired take, the side panel waves and unique mesh tooling are still readily apparent.
Today we get a look at a basic albeit essential colorway of the freshly updated Nike Air Max 95 Ultra as an all black upper camouflages the updated near-seamless design while tape and fuse tech comprise the waves. A while midsole and outsole unit slims down the legendary air max bubbles throughout while a premium leather toecap adds a touch of luxury. There’s no reflective 3M here, but if you’re looking for a basic everyday go-to then this pair is for you.
Check out more detailed photos below and know that you can buy this pair from international retailers like Shelta and look for this pair right now on Nike.com.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Air Jordan 11 Suede, Nike Kyrie 3 Black Ice, Christmas Day Sneakers
By SoleInsider
It’s almost Christmas time and you know what that means. No, it doesn’t mean that we get to unwrap all the awesome presents that we got from our family and friends and give thanks to the year that was (although giving thanks to this year is a highly dubious move unless your personal life was just that great). It means that our Buy, Pass, Wait column is a little short this weekend because the staff hasn’t turned in their picks yet. So until I get a few more emails responding to our weekly thread, it’ll just be me and the other Juan (Carrillo) for now giving our takes on the weekend’s releases and beyond, including the Air Jordan 11 Suede, the Nike Kyrie 3 and our picks for Christmas Day sneakers.
Air Jordan 11 Suede
Nike
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (PASS) We’ve seen the Air Jordan 11 take on a different vibe when it goes low (snakeskin, IE, etc.), but now it looks like the once-sacred patent leather overlay is no more as we are now starting to see the Air Jordan 11 get the Pinnacle treatment. This stylized treatment might be appealing to a lot of people – there’s no way this doesn’t sell out immediately – but I’m not a fan at the moment. I’ll be very interested to see what the future holds for the 11s in general. Will we start to see more 11s drop in general and not just be limited to the holiday season?
Juan Carrillo, News: (PASS) $400 is way too much for this Jordan. Based off the images I’ve seen, the suede isn’t that impressive either. I’m not crazy about the 11s. I already have a hard time paying $220 for them. $400 is out of the question.
Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy
NikeNike
EIC Juan: (BUY ONCE THE PRICE DROPS) I love the Air Jordan 16 and I absolutely regret not being able to buy this when they first came out. I love the blue toe and the look of the sneaker both with or without the shroud. That being said, I’m confident I’ll be able to scoop this up for less than $200 in a few weeks because they won’t sell out.
News Juan: (WAIT) The Air Jordan 16 is a solid model, but remind me why it’s priced at $250 again? If these end up sitting, I’d feel more comfortable paying $150 for them. If they sell out, I’m okay with that too.
Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Storm Blue
Nike
EIC Juan: (PASS) If it’s not the Chicago, Banned, Royal or Shattered Backboard (Original or Alternate), I don’t care about 1s, and it’s not like I wear 1s anyways (they hurt my feet and ankles).
News Juan: (WAIT) I’ve already seen this shoe priced at under retail. Which leads me to believe that I can eventually get these for close to $100 like many other Jordan1s that dropped this year. I love the colorway and I’d love to have it in my collection, but I’m going to wait it out in hopes of getting these way below retail. People are sleeping on these, and I’m okay with that.
Nike Kyrie 3 Black Ice
Nike
EIC Juan: (PASS) I might actually buy it for purposes of featuring it on the site, but I wouldn’t cop them for personal reasons. I’m intrigued with the possibilities of the Kyrie 3, especially after he gave it such an illuminating talk about it a few months ago way before anybody even had a chance to ask him about it.
News Juan: (WAIT) The Kyrie 3 has potential to be a good shoe. I’d like to try it on and see how it looks on-feet as a casual shoe. I’m in no rush to buy them. I’ll hit up my local mall in the next couple of weeks, try on a pair, and then make my decision there.
Christmas Day Sneakers (Pick One)
EIC Juan: adidas Harden Vol. 1 13 Below Zero
Nike
Congrats adidas, you finally made an all-white Ultra Boost that could on a basketball court. It’s super clean and a dirt trap that would make me cry the moment it got even the slightest speck of dirt, but it’s real nice to look at.
News Juan: (NONE) Not many Christmas-themed releases caught my eye this year. What will I be wearing for Christmas? Well it can go both ways depending on how I’m feeling. I could go with a clean pair of Cole Haan LunarGrands in this sweet Burnt Burgundy colorway that I have, or I can decide to unds my pair of Jordan 1 Breds. Either way, it’s a win-win.
As suggested, the sneaker?s aesthetic theme takes cues from the very same tone as its SB packaging from 2006 to 2007. Draped in black with 3M piping throughout, the classic sneaker is comprised of premium materials, consisting of faux ostrich leather and smooth suede.
Contrasting purple is prominent on the laces, while a respective box logo is embossed on the heels. Finally, an icy translucent outsole caps off the sleek design profile.
Priced at $130, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers worldwide starting December 26th.
