Last featured in an olive green finish, the Nike Internationalist Mid Utility receives the ubiquitous triple black color scheme for its latest iteration this season.

With this particular iteration built for the colder season, the boot-like silhouette flaunts a weather resistant nubuck/leather construction, while its mid-cut profile offers sufficient comfort and additional protection. Further supplemented with a matching rugged outsole to suit various terrains and improve traction, tonal laces and branding cap off this blacked-out pair.

You can purchase the model at select Nike retailers worldwide now.

You can’t go wrong with the colorway and the silhouette itself is an appealing design. I like the overall build and it’s good pair for everyday wear.

The women?s Nike Air Max Zero is set to return in a new color scheme, which is punctuated by mineral blue accents.

Flaunting a matte silver finish across its light weight upper, the energizing blue accents are implemented on the Swooshes across its side panels, branding across the heels and insoles. Subtle black accents throughout further define its profile, while a crisp white midsole unit tops off the design.

Retailing for $150, you can purchase this pair to make at select Nike retailers starting Monday, December 5th.

Even though it?s listed for females, it?s still versatile enough for all genders. The colorway is pretty appealing and it?s a solid option for the ladies this season.

With its 20th anniversary looming, an early start to celebrating the Nike Air Max 97 is set for next month, as it’ll be reintroduced in its original metallic silver finish.

Featured in its men’s sizing, this 2016 edition essentially stays true to its classic design ethos. The defining hue covers the sneaker’s synthetic and mesh upper, which flaunts a distinctive wavy pattern that also bears a reflective element. In addition, subtle hits of red are applied on the tongue and miniature Swooshes across its side panels to cap off its respective palette.

All adhered atop its signature full-length air-bubble enhanced sole unit, this pair is suggested to debut in Italy on December 2nd, followed by a wider release to the rest of Western Europe on December 14th.

Stay tuned for more updates.

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.

The post The Nike Air Force 1 Low Linen Is Returning Soon appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Is a Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low finally happening? It appears that a legit sample designed by Virgil Abloh has surfaced, featuring bold writing on the upper and “Right” on the tongue label (alluding to the left shoe featuring “LEFT”). These are much different than the white/black diagonally striped joints that we saw surface last year, and there’s no confirmation that these are dropping, but we could be in for some sort of surprise announcement as Virgil is currently in Miami for Art Basel festivities. We already know the Linen Air Force 1 is releasing soon exclusively through KITH, so who knows what else could be in store. Stay tuned for the latest.

I can’t believe this brand blew up. Kudos to Virgil though. Nonetheless, this model will be highly sought after once it releases.

Following an initial sneak peak, new images of the Nike Kyrie 2 What The is revealed, which is noted to be part of the standout 12 Soles collection for December.

Although a light bone-colored pair was also featured, it’s unclear if two iterations will be offered as well. The distinctive motif is traditionally known for its eccentric mashup of various colorways and patterns of previous releases, however, this particular pair is rendered in tonal mint green, while a colorful graphic is seen on the inner lining. Additionally, an intricate embossed design on the rear and subtle speckling on the midsole unit finishes off the eye-catching design.

Suggested to make its debut on December 12th, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

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

The more “mature” sneakerheads will definitely like these. My favorite pair would have to be the Uptempo 97. I like the design on the midsole.

Looking more like one of Nike Sportswear’s ‘Vintage’ releases like the Blazer Mid, this Nike SB Bruin receives a simple old-school appearance in burnt yellow and white. Very reminiscent of the yellow colorway found within the Blazer “Vintage Pack” from 2014, or even the Converse Pro Leather “Vintage Suede” collection from this fall, this Bruin built specifically for skateboarding features a Peat Moss yellow shade across the suede upper with white leather details for a traditional two-tone color block.

I feel like it lacks something to help make it stand out. Not sure what, but it looks generic to be quite honest.

Update: The Nike Air Force 1 “Linen” retro is slated to return in a limited run exclusively from KITH. Stay tuned for more release details soon.

Nike Sportswear continues to bring back some of their most sought after Nike Air Force 1 retros by teasing drops in incredibly limited numbers. That’s what happened with the Nike Air Force 1 NYC and Nike Air Force 1 LA revivals in recent months, and now it looks like a brand new retro of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Linen” will be available at Miami’s Art Basel this week.

Frequent Nike collaborator Futura was on-hand to help paint the unique exhibition complete with special edition glass boxing with an array of his artwork scribbled throughout. Hopefully we’ll see a more widespread release of this iconic Nike Air Force 1 Low colorway in the near future, but for now, it looks like this Air Force 1 Linen will only be available in limited numbers during Miami’s Art Basel festivities. More details to come.

Nike Basketball’s signature superstars control the show. The likes of LeBron, KD, and Kyrie will be joined by Paul George in the near future, but the Swoosh continues to churn out formidable silhouettes that don’t belong to any particular All-Star or All-NBA selection. The Nike Hyperrev series has been as diverse as any with no particular feature or aesthetic tying the yearly installments together. We’ve seen the Hyperrev serve as a proving ground with Kyrie and PG13 championing the model before getting signatures of their own and today we get a look at the next installment – the Nike Hyperrev 2017.

The Nike Hyperrev 2017 utilizes a fairly subdued construction when compared to the craziness that defined the past for the series. A fuse and bolstered sports mesh construction sees a bold pattern add a bit of flare to the lace eyelets while a padded collar helps bring support to the midtop. The ‘Hyperrev 2017’ branding should bring memories of Dover Street Market collabs given the simple vertical text on the tongue. The truly stand-out feature here is the herringbone traction pattern that extends well into the Zoom midsole.

What do you think of the upcoming Nike Hyperrev 2017? Check out more detailed preview shots below and stay tuned for a release date coming Spring 2017.
