Official imagery of the forthcoming Nike Kyrie 2 What The has released, which is also listed as part of the stellar 12 Soles collection for this month of December.

While the defining motif is traditionally known for its eccentric mashup of various colorways and patterns of previous releases — this rendition flaunts a tonal finish of green glow instead, while a colorful graphic is utilized on the inner lining.

Other notable details include an intricate embossed design on the rear, subtle speckling on the midsole unit and chenille Swooshes across its heels.

Additionally, an initial preview showcased a light bone-colored version, which might suggest two iterations will be offered as well.

Look for this pair to debut at select Nike retailers on December 12th for $120.

I would?ve preferred a more eccentric mashup of colors instead. The tonal look isn?t that bad though.

The Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Essential is introduced in possibly its last iteration of 2016, as it receives a clean Light Bone/Bluecap theme.

Compared to its traditional counterpart, this rendition is a modernized take of the runner, which inherits a no-sew synthetic upper. Covered in light bone, a wavy-patterned bluecap overlay along its mudguard complements the overall build.

Other notable details include black swooshes and gold leaf accents utilized for its inner lining and branding on the rear. Finally, a clean white midsole unit and floral printed insoles finishes off its design.

You can find this pair at select Nike retailers nationwide soon for a price tag of $120.

I?ll always be an advocate for this silhouette. The colorway is just appealing overall and it?s pretty versatile for all genders.

This Nike KD 9, dubbed “The Sauce,” consists as one pair from Nike’s standout Holiday 2016 12 Soles collection.

As its moniker suggests, the sneaker flaunts a deep burgundy finish that seems to be cranberry sauce-inspired — however, the official backstory of the sneaker?s nickname corresponds to KD?s fluidity in his every move during gameplay, as he?s recognized as one of the most versatile players in the game.

Metallic red bronze accents for its Swooshes across the side panels further pronounces the profile, while an icy translucent outsole unit finishes off its design.

Retailing for $150, you can purchase this pair at select Nike stockists starting tomorrow, Monday, December 5th.

One of the best iterations of the silhouette so far this season in my opinion. Maybe I?m just biased towards the colorway, but, this should be sought after.

Kobe Bryant’s first post-retirement sneaker, the Kobe A.D, made its debut at retailers a couple of weeks ago in the Ruthless Precision colorway.

Up next is this simple black/white option that you see above. The Kobe A.D. comes equipped with a breathable mesh upper with incorporated Dynamic Flywire for that lock-down fit. This pair comes dressed in a full black upper with the Flywire, heel, and tongue also coming in black. Contrasting hits of white then land on the tongue and side panel branding, part of the inner liner, midsole, and outsole. Red has then been placed on the heel branding and insoles as a finishing touch.

You can look for the Nike Kobe A.D. in Black/White to arrive at select Nike accounts on December 16th for $160.

I like this pair better than the debut grey colorway, but it’s not one that I would actually buy. I’ll wait to see what other colorways release.

Up next for the Nike ACG Air Mowabb, is this tonal rendition of the shoe done in a Dark Obsidian colorway. Said to be dropping in the near future, let’s get a first look at the shoe.

As mentioned above, this version of the Nike ACG Air Mowabb opts for a tonal look as a Dark Navy hue takes care of the entire base of the shoe. Construction-wise, the shoe is made out of a premium suede accented by the tonal synthetic overlays and neoprene sock ankle. The heel cage and part of the sole appear to come in a darker shade of Blue to continue the monochromatic look of the shoe. No word yet on when these will drop but we expect them to do so in the coming weeks.

The Nike ACG Air Mowabb is a dope sneaker. I like the sock-like fit, the heel cage and the tonal look of the shoe. Looking forward to these.

With the more notable Urban Haze colorway debuting in two weeks, this classic iteration of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 is scheduled to drop at retailers first.

Flaunting a nubuck/leather composition with breathable mesh underlays, the stealthy hue simply drapes the entire upper, while its design is supplemented with a thick white midsole that incorporates the signature 180 degree Air Max unit. Tonal black heel pull tabs, laces and branding finish off its overall details.

Select Nike retailers overseas have this pair listed for availability starting December 6 and 8th, which may also coincide with a U.S. release.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

I like the sneaker in general and it?s really solid in this colorway. You can?t go wrong with it and I?m just a fan.

Tomorrow we’ll see the release of the Nike KD 9 in the “The Sauce” colorway inspired by the holiday season. But looking even further ahead, here is a first glimpse at another pair of KD 9s that is expected to hit retailers sooner rather than later.

Covered in Cargo Green throughout the majority of the Flyknit upper, this colorway of the KD 9 is then given some Fall lifestyle vibes courtesy of Olive detailing on the Swoosh and midsole. Multicolor laces wrap things up on this KD that does not have a name or story behind the colorway just yet. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more images and release updates.

If the entire shoe was done in olive I think more people would have liked it. We all know how popular olive is at this time of the year.

Great hybrid model. I’m not a fan of the colorway, but I’m pretty sure I can find one that I like.

It may be winter, but this Nike Air Max 1 is trying to keep the sunshine alive with this refreshing colorway that looks much more suited for summer than the dreary season we’re currently in the midst of. The classic runner features a wavy texture on the ‘Blue Cap’ mudguard that will definitely have you thinking of the warm summer waves. Meanwhile, the rest of the upper comes in ‘Light Bone’ for the look of light sand with black accents and the Hawaiian “Aloha” print on the sockliner to finish off the tropical vibes. Look towards spring with your own pair, available now at select overseas retailers including END and soon in the US at Nike.com.

Kevin Durant already dropped a Nike KD 9 Home, but this is not that shoe, this is the Nike KD 9 Home 2. a new colorway with some similar features. Donning a two-toned look, this Home version of the Nike KD 9 is done in a Flyknit upper with White thread on the forefoot and Blue mesh on the lateral part of the shoe. Additional hits of White can be seen on the laces, Nike Swoosh and the KD branding on the heel. Below you will find a White sole unit with visible Zoom cushioning. Being that it’s a Home colorway, a little bit of Yellow would have been nice, right? Regardless, the shoe is slated for a February 16th release for $150. Cop?

I like the split-colored look on the shoe, I don’t seem much of a “Home” feel to it, but it’s still a solid colorway on the KD 9.

Two bright colorways of the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 will be releasing later this month, with both pairs being designed exclusively for the ladies.

Both opting for suede uppers, this first pair comes draped in Gold Dart while the other goes with more of a Christmas look as it’s done in Stadium Green. Additional splashes of color get added to both pairs on the mudguard as well as white sole units.

Expect both of these colorways to arrive at Nike Sportswear retailers later this month. Which one do you like better ladies?

If I were to ever pick up a pair of Air Tech Challenge 2s it would be something not as bright as these pairs. I’ll leave these for the hardcore fans of the sneaker.

As part of the stellar 12 Soles Collection releasing for the Holiday 2016 season will be this variation of the Nike Air Max Uptempo 2 dubbed, “Urban Haze.”

Treated in an autumnal appropriate hue of olive across its smooth suede and mesh upper, the militaristic-inspired color scheme is perfectly complemented with a clean sail white-colored rubber sole unit for a nice two-tone finish overall.

Reminds me a lot of the Kyrie 1. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. I don’t think people would want to buy a shoe that looks very similar to another one that recently released.

Nike Basketball will be starting the Christmas season a little early this year as they’ll begin releasing their first Christmas-themed sneaker of the year tomorrow.

Kevin Durant does the honors as his KD 9 will be releasing in this “The Sauce” colorway that you see above. Believe to be inspired by cranberry sauce (that is typically eaten during the holidays), this KD 9 features a full Deep Burgundy upper with Bright Crimson hits on the inner liner and the front portion of the Flyknit. Metallic Red Bronze is then placed on the Swoosh branding on the side panels.

You can pick up the Nike KD 9 The Sauce at select Nike retailers beginning tomorrow, December 5th for $150.

Solid colorway of the KD 9. Love the burgundy upper, but could have done without the crimson accents.

The classic Dr. Doom pair recently released and this upcoming variation of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro continues the Fantastic Four theme next year with a Metallic Silver ? ?Silver Surfer?-inspired finish.

The basketball sneaker?s defining shimmering hue essentially covers its rugged profile, which also bears a carbon fiber print throughout for a more distinctive look.

Contrasting black accents adorning the tongue, eye stays and inner lining further pronounce the design, as more shiny elements are evidenced with the Swoosh logos adorning each side panel. Finally, a translucent outsole finishes off the overall makeup.

Pried at $250, you can purchase this standout model at select Nike retailers starting March 2017.

This style is one of my favorite bball sneakers, so I?ll always be an advocate. The finish is pretty clean and I like the carbon fiber detailing throughout.
