Introduced back in 2001 as a Japan-exclusive, the iconic Nike Air Force 1 Low Linen has been revived to commemorate the opening of KITH Miami and Art Basel.

Essentially a replica of the original, the low-top sneaker features a narrowed shape with premium leather and a neoprene liner, while the distinctive palette combines South Beach’s natural hues.

Nike and Kith has also joined forces with legendary contemporary artist, Futura, to create a one-of-a-kind piece of art in the window that celebrates the legendary artist?s evolution and introduces a new masterpiece. Select custom Nike boxes featuring Futura’s artwork that contains the Linens will be gifted to close friends and family of KITH.

With KITH Miami opening tomorrow, December 2nd, at 1931 Collins Ave. — the Nike Air Force 1 Linen will be raffled on four different days during the first two weeks of the opening, starting December 2nd. The shoe will only be offered in sizes US 8-13.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

Being that it was a really exclusive release, this should garner the attention it deserves when it?s available again. I?m not too keen on it, but, it holds a special value.

In the past year or so Nike has created a few different versions of the highly popular Nike Air Huarache. One of those is the Air Huarache Utility that you see above which is now presented in a Triple Black colorway.

Outfitted in a mix of mesh and neoprene on the upper, this Huarache has been given a more tough and rugged look in comparison to the original that is intended to be worn during the colder months of the year. The pair that you see above comes with a new lacing system as well as a rugged outsole for better traction and durability.

What are your thoughts on the Air Huarache Utility? Do you have any pairs in your collection? Look for this Triple Black rendition to arrive at Nike retailers in the near future.

I understand that Nike is trying to capitalize off the popularity of the OG Huarache, but when is it enough? I’m not a fan of this Utility version.

We understand that not every sneaker will appeal to everyone, which is why there’s thousands of different styles out there. Falling in that category of “sneakers not liked by many” is the Nike Air Huarache Run Mid.

This modified high top version of the Nike Huarache is now seen in a new colorway of Black Dust. Designed for the ladies, this Huarache Mid comes covered in a textured black suede upper that features the new shroud and zipper upper that replaces the traditional laces. A grey outsole completes the look on this sleek colorway of the Air Huarache Run Mid.

I’m not sure what Nike was thinking when they designed this shoe. I understand they were going with the sneakerboot look, but some silhouettes just shouldn’t be messed with this much.

If you’re a fan of simple and classic sneakers, then perhaps you may be a fan of the Nike SB Bruin.

The skateboarding version of the Bruin has been covered in a bright yellow/gold suede upper that Nike is calling Peat Moss. Serving as the perfect contrast are hits of White on the leather Swoosh, laces, inner liner, tongue and heel branding, and the rubber midsole.

Fans of the Nike SB Bruin can pick up this eye-catching colorway at select retailers now for $75.

Author’s Take

The SB Bruin reminds me a lot of the SB Blazer but with a different Swoosh. I’m not in love with the shoe, but I’d rock a pair in the right colorway. This Peat Moss colorway isn’t for me.

Part of the Nike Air Max Uptempo Black Pack, we now give you a look at official images of the Air Max Uptempo from the pack.

This simple twp-tone colorway of the classic Nike sneaker features full Black nubuck upper with Swoosh branding on the side panels and midsole. Pull tabs have been added on the tongue and heel for a unique look. Down below we see the signature full-length visible air throughout the midsole.

Expected to release at select Nike retailers beginning on December 6th, will these be a cop or a drop for you? Keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for more.

Out of the three Air Max Uptempo silhouettes that are scheduled to return next month, this one is probably my least favorite. I’ll pass.

In a little under three weeks we’ll see the release of the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max Doernbecher that was designed by Corwin Carr.

But before December 17th comes, let’s take a look at another colorway of the modified Janoski that is available as we speak. This new Jano Max comes equipped with a Black suede upper along with bright Green Glow detailing on the branding, inner liner, and on the air bubble. Something interesting about this colorway are the insoles which feature a graphic of a snake. We’re not really sure about the idea or theme behind the design, but it looks pretty cool. A White Air Max sole unit wraps things up down below.

Hit up your local Nike SB retailers now for availability. Retail price is $110.

Green Glow is always a color that catches my attention. I like the way that Nike used it on this Janoski. Clean colorway.

It’s safe to say that the Nike Special Field Air Force 1 was a success considering that they manage to sell with the quickness. Out of all the pairs released, the hardest one to pick up was without a doubt the Triple White version that released exclusively at ComplexCon. In other words, you had to be there in attendance in order to get a pair (at retail). With that being the case, many people who wanted the pair weren’t able to get one, until now.

The highly coveted Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Triple White will be releasing once more, but once again it’s still going to be an exclusive release. How so? You will only find them at select Nike Sportswear retailers in Asia on December 1st. Want a pair? Now’s a good time to hit up your connect from the Far East.

It may be the most exclusive colorway, but it’s actually my least favorite. The other colors are far better and easier to maintain clean.

The more I see the Air Unlimited the more it’s growing on me. Out of all the colorways I’ve seen this is one of the better pairs.

KITH has dominated 2016 with a number of awesome collaborations, in-store exclusives, and the ability to work with some of the hottest brands out in a way that only Ronnie Fieg’s imprint could think of. That winning streak will continue all the way down in Miami, Florida for the grand opening of KITH Miami during Art Basel this Friday, December 2nd. Ronnie and company have something very special planned for the event too, with the exclusive launch of the iconic Nike Air Force 1 Linen retro to usher in KITH’s Miami arrival.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Linen” initially debuted in 2001 as a Japan regional exclusive as the focal point of Nike’s “Concept Japan” Collection. Since then, the colorway has been a grail to many OG sneakerheads throughout the world thanks to its unique pastel shades paired with a premium tan leather upper and a comfortable neoprene lining for an additional twist. KITH is further commemorating the shoe’s legendary status through a one of a kind Futura-helmed installation at their brand new locale, with original transparent boxes with original Futura artwork being gifted to KITH’s friends and family.

Nike Sportswear is bringing back a number of awesome retros from the legendary Nike Air Max Uptempo series for the Holiday 2016 season, but with a twist. The uppers numerous mid-90s offerings are being transformed into a more lifestyle-friendly vibe thanks to rich suede and nubuck uppers, touches of monochromatic shades, and off-white Sail midsoles for a look that would be just as apt off-the-court as it would be on the hardwood. Yesterday we saw the first preview of the coming Nike Air Max Tempo retro in a standout Black/White colorway, and today official Nike images are finally available.

1996’s Nike Air Max Uptempo was the first basketball silhouette to feature full-length visible air throughout the midsole, and here that legendary tech-spec is understated thanks to a clear window with matching white throughout. It’s not particularly flashy when compared to some of the OG colorways, but that’s what we love about this NSW transformation. If you’re not feeling this simple aesthetic, Nike will also be releasing their anticipated “Urban Haze” Pack on December 20th featuring more Uptempo goodness.

Check out more detailed shots of this Nike Air Max Tempo retro below and grab your pair on December 6th from select retailers and on Nike.com.

There’s only a handful of Kyrie 2 releases headed to retail shelves before we finally get our hands on the upcoming Kyrie 3, but the pairs that are releasing should garner as much attention as possible given their exclusive nature. The What The Kyrie 2 is headed to store shelves on December 12th, but it takes a different approach than most mismatched “What The” styles from years past.

First, the shoe dons a monochromatic teal upper while standout features like a speckled midsole, mismatched patterns on the midfoot strap overlay, and that Huarache inspired Kyrie logo all make their way onto the What The Kyrie 2 from past standout releases. A unique swirling graphic lining contrasts the teal upper for a nice change of pace.

What do you think about the coming Nike Kyrie 2 “What The”? Check out more detailed shots below and grab your pair on December 12th from Nike.com.
