The Nike ACG Lupinek Flyknit returns in a versatile finish of triple black to welcome the Fall/Winter 2016 season.

The boot/sneaker-hybird design is essentially doused in the stealthy hue. With its aesthetic appeal also evoking militaristic vibes, the model flaunts a breathable flyknit construction that is joined by premium leather throughout to further reinforce its rugged profile. A matching SFB?s Free-inspired sole unit that provides tough, yet flexible cushioning upon every step solidifies its build overall.

Retailing for a price tag of $250, a few Nike stockists nationwide already have the pair available, but, more retailers will debut the silhouette starting next Thursday, November 3.

‘Tis the season for tonal olive modifications to some of your favorite running models. Not only did we see the adidas NMD R1 finally hit stateside Foot Locker locations in the autumn-ready shade, but now Nike Sportswear’s seasonal update to the iconic Nike Presto running model in the Nike Presto Utility Low gets a Cargo Khaki refresh.

The Nike Air Presto Utility Low skips out on the added ankle support found in its high-arching counterpart, so there are no additional zippers here for fans of the ACRONYM collaboration out there, but it does boast a redesigned weather resistant upper that fits perfectly with the iconic cage overlay.

Be sure to check out more detailed on-feet shots of the latest Nike Presto Utility Low below and grab your size from international spots like Titolo.

Since this year is an especially big year for the Air Jordan 1 with a number of OG and coveted new colorways releasing, as well as a year that Jordan Brand seems to be celebrating the early days of Michael Jordan’s history with the brand more than usual, it’s worth noting that today marks the 32nd anniversary of the day Nike and Jordan became official partners. Penning his signature to the contract on October 26, 1984, (Rob Strasser of Nike signed it two days earlier) Michael Jordan nor the world had any idea what the future would hold from that day forward. Coincidentally, this date also marks the anniversary of Michael’s first game in the NBA. The sports and sneaker worlds have never been the same since.

The new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Shield offers the same benefits as the original with added all-weather construction, ensuring that athletes can run with confidence and ease through the inclement conditions of the changing seasons. The shoe?s one-piece Flyknit upper is now constructed with DWR (durable, water-repellent)-coated TPU yarn and a water-repellant internal bootie to keep the foot warm and dry. The laser-siped outsole pattern?inspired by car tires?is now grooved to increase surface area, repel water and further maximize traction. The shoe?s mid-height collar continues to provide a locked-down, dynamic fit, emphasizing natural movement from the ankle to the foot.

Nike Sportswear unveiled the Nike Air Max LD-Zero with a bang thanks to a collaboration with longtime friend Hiroshi Fujiwara of fragment design. From the jump, the full-length visible air wielding silhouette managed to exude a certain lifestyle aesthetic even with the bold performance-based outsole intact. We have some good news for those of you that missed out on the first few installments too, as the Nike Air Max LD-Zero will return this Fall/Winter 2016 season in three brand new monochromatic suede builds.

The Nike Air Max LD-Zero utilizes a Hiroshi Fujiwara favorite – the seldom seen Nike LD-1000 retro which the fragment design head brought back for a Roshe combination not too long ago. Vintage ‘Nike Air’ branding keeps the orange Swoosh intact on the tongue while a beautiful lifestyle grade suede transforms the upper in Black, Obsidian, or Sail options. A modern day Air Max outsole creates unparalleled comfort complete with matching shades and semi-translucent bottoms.

Check out more detailed shots of the upcoming Nike Air Max LD-Zero Suede below and expect this trio to be releasing soon on Nike.com.
