Just last week we saw the release of the NikeLab Air Unlimited in two new colorways with the Noble Red and Purple Smoke pairs.

Up next we’ll see two more colorways drop this week including this Tan pair. Taking on the tonal look, which we’ve seen every other colorway also do, this Air Unlimited comes covered in Tan all throughout. Some of the defining features include two cross-straps and an elevated neoprene elevated bootie. A white sole unit finishes off the look along with orange detailing on the outsole.

Pick up your pair on October 27th for a retail price of $180.

Almost every sneaker looks good in a tan colorway, and the Air Unlimited is no exception. Clean execution by Nike on this pair.

Previously believed to be the Graffiti colorway, it appears that this colorway of the Nike LeBron 13 Low will actually be known as the “LeBron James Family Foundation.”

This pair of LeBron 13 Lows has taken the mismatched route as one shoes is done in white and the other in black. The uppers feature an Akron-inspired Graffiti print that ties back to the LeBron James Family Foundation. The outsole has then been hit with a multicolor pattern for some added flair.

Set to release on October 26th (tomorrow) for a retail price of $160, will you be scooping up a pair?

I’ve said before that I like the LeBron 13 Low a lot better than the original mid. This colorway is pretty dope, especially the outsoles.

Nike Basketball and LeBron James just released their latest video spot to kick off the NBA season, and the Swoosh is still basking in the glory of LeBron’s Game 7 chase-down block. It’s fitting for a city like Cleveland that’s faced so much rejection at the sounding buzzer that their championship win came in part because of LeBron’s incredible rejection of Andre Iguodala’s layup.

The black and white video shows players of all ages striving for greatness. The spot’s titled Come out of Nowhere and is part of Nike Basketball’s larger narrative focus throughout the season that features stars like Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, and their individual journeys to fight against the doubters. Be sure to check out Nike Basketball’s latest spot below and stay tuned to see what pair LeBron laces up tonight in the Cavaliers’ season opener right here on Sneaker News.

Black & gold looks dope on both silhouettes. In my opinion this is one of the better packs from the collection.

The post The Nike Basketball Four Wins Pack Concludes With The Kicks Worn In Game 7 appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Let the NBA regular season begin! Nike Basketball surprised everyone when they announced their “4 Wins” Championship Pack featuring four combinations of the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 and the Nike Kyrie 2 each in game-specific PE renditions based on the pairs worn by the dynamic duo in each of the Cavs’ NBA Finals victories. So what pair will Kyrie lace up tonight during the Cavaliers’ ring ceremony? Only time will tell, but this Nike Kyrie 2 White/Metallic option would be a stellar choice based on how cold Irving’s last field goal attempt was.

The Nike Kyrie 2 “White/Metallic Silver” was rumored for an early October release but saw subsequent delays thanks to the “4 Wins” releases throughout the month. The pristine pair dons an all white mesh upper with added Metallic Silver speckles on both the midsole and midfoot strap. The midsole Swoosh branding dons a hypnotizing transparency to match an icy outsole. There’s still no word yet on when this Nike Kyrie 2 will be available, but expect an update in the near future on our release dates page.

Later today, the World Series kicks off and when all is said and done, one miserable fan base is going to be free of a decades-long pain from never winning the big one while the other has to embrace yet another heartbreaking defeat. We here at Kicks On Fire don’t have a particular rooting interest in the fight – although some of the staff are Dodger fans and are totally not bitter at all – but in the interest of fun (and because Bill Murray is a Cubs fan and we love Bill Murray), and because the city of Cleveland just recently rid themselves of a championship drought thanks to the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, we are rooting for the Chicago Cubs (and Bill Murray) to finally win their first World Series since 1908.

Over a decade ago, Nike jumped on the Boston Red Sox bandwagon when they followed The Idiots all the way to their first championship in over 80 years. This year, adidas is taking a not-so-subtle approach in their support of the Cubs and their star player Kris Bryant. With both brands being represented in the Fall Classic, this edition of Fun With… has well, fun with mi adidas and NIKEiD as we create Cubs-centric colorways for fans to commemorate their (hopeful) World Series win. Because Bill f*****g Murray deserves to be happy.

Basketball season is back. We’re as surprised as you are that the off-season is over already and tonight we get to see what LeBron James will wear for the Cavs’ ring ceremony. While we’re fairly certain it will be the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 holding James down based on his preference for the model throughout his incredible NBA Finals performance last season, we still don’t know what colorway LBJ will be lacing up. Perhaps it could be this upcoming LeBron Soldier 10 Cool Grey selection featuring touches of premium Metallic Gold on the branding in honor of The King’s third and most recent Larry O’Brien Trophy.

The Nike LeBron Soldier 10 continues to get the combination of Metallic Gold paired with an icy blue outsole for the ongoing Nike Basketball “4 Wins” Championship Pack, but this is our first time seeing the combination swap out a black base for a new shade. Additional speckling even hits the three lockdown straps for an added bonus. What do you think of the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 Cool Grey? Check out a better view below and grab your pair this Saturday, October 29th from select shops like Oneness.

Nike’s sock-like Flyknit ankle collar trend/look isn’t going anywhere any time soon. As a matter of fact, one of their newest creations, the Nike Lunar Magista 2 Flyknit also rocks the Flyknit ankle collar look. Let’s take a closer look.

The Nike Lunar Magista 2 Flyknit is a soccer-inspired silhouette that derived from the Magista 2. Notable features on the shoe include the Lunarlon midsole, the Flyknit ankle collar and a very unique leather-like constructed upper that’s hard to pin point based off these images. This particular colorway comes in Dark Grey/Wolf Grey sitting on top of a White sole unit. Priced at $200, pick up your very own pair today at select Nike retailers.

Author’s Take

For the most part, I tend to stay away from this Flyknit ankle collar look/trend, only because it does not look good on me. But I gotta admit, these look pretty fresh. The use of leather and Flyknit on the upper and a Lunarlon sole are all great features on the shoe.

In just a couple of days, Nike will be releasing this Nike Air Unlimited in the Triple Black colorway. Consider this your “heads up” message.

The classic ’90s Nike basketball sneaker makes its long awaited return and one of the debuting colorways has the model rock the all-Black look. This includes the entire upper, the sole unit, laces, branding and anything else I may have missed. Need to relive the good times of the ’90s? Do these bring back nostalgia and you need a pair? If you answered yes, you’ll be able to pick up a pair of your own beginning October 27th directly through Nike.com

I’m pretty intrigued by the return of this model, just not in this colorway. The model has far too many unique detailing on it just to black it all out.

The post Release Reminder: The Triple Black Version Of The Nike Air Unlimited Is Almost Here appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Following the release of the women’s multicolor pair, the premium rendition of the men’s Nike Air Max 95, now receives a new colorway this Fall 2016.

Covered in an understated palette of Wolf Grey/Anthracite-Cool Grey-Black — the runner is composed of plush suede across its side panels, while nubuck is also implemented on the toe cap and heel section. Breathable mesh is utilized for the tongue, inner lining and along the eye stays, as it all rests atop a shiny silver midsole unit and black outsole.

You can purchase this standout pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is imminent.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Author’s Take

I’ll always be an advocate for this runner. In this colorway, it’s a really versatile option that you can’t go wrong with.

The post Classic Shades On The Latest Nike Air Max 95 Premium appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

This latest rendition of the Nike Air Max 90 comes with a little something extra in the form of a zippered shroud. I don’t blame you if you didn’t recognize the model at first, but trust me when I say there’s an Air Max 90 somewhere underneath that extra layer of paneling.

Currently known as the Nike Air Max 90 Mid Utility, this version of the Air Max 90 comes with a brand new lacing system. How new? It comes with no laces! Instead it opts for a zippered shroud construction that ends up covering the majority of the base. This colorway is supposed to be the Infrared colorway, with a major difference being the extra detailing placed on the mudguard. Thoughts on this new version of the Air Max 90?  Available internationally, we will let you know once they arrive stateside.

Author’s Take

I’m all for revamped/modern versions of the Air Max 90, but this version with the shroud completely covers the majority of the dope upper. Nah, man! I can’t work with this.
