How about that monster performance from KD last night huh? Nike and KD take things back to his roots with this new PE colorway of the Nike KD 9. No, not to his days with the Thunder, but rather to his alma mater at the University of Texas.

This Nike KD 9 Texas Longhorns PE features a very different look in comparison to the PEs that we usually see. Seen above, this KD 9 comes with split grey and blue upper with orange detailing on the Longhorns logo that has been placed on the tongue and the fuzzy Swoosh on the side panels. A yellow inner liner, red laces, and a white sole unit wrap up the look on this PE colorway of the KD 9.

What do you think? Are you a fan or is this colorway or is it too all over the place to be considered a Texas Longhorns PE? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

If it weren’t for the Longhorns logo on the tongue I would have never guessed that this is a Texas PE. It looks more like a custom to me.

Earlier this week we gave you a first look at the Nike Air Presto Extreme. The leaked intial colorway had the shoe rock a simple Black and White color scheme. Just a few days later, we now have a handful of brand new colorways to show you.

This “Extreme” version of the Nike Air Presto comes with a brand new look up top. Gone is the cage and laces, in is a simplified midfoot strap that gives it even more of a slip-on motif. The shoe itself is made out of neoprene and mesh with hits of tape for added protection and durability. The midfoot strap comes with additional branding that joins the customary hits noted on the toe and midsole. Aside from the colorway we showed you earlier this week, we now get a first look at the Royal, Red, Volt and Pink offerings. We still don’t know when the shoe will drop, but in the meantime let us know what you think about the Nike Air Presto Extreme.

I like the strap look. It still has a Presto feel to it, but at the same time it also has a look of its own. I dig it.

We previously showed you official images of this upcoming colorway of the Nike KD 9, but we now have a release date to report.

The Nike KD 9 Oreo features black and white Flyknit upper with additional black accents being placed on the Swoosh and KD branding on the side panels and heel. Down below we have a black midsole that has been hit with white speckling and a black rubber outsole to cap things off.

Look for the Nike KD 9 Oreo to release during the holidays on December 15, 2016 for a price tag of $150. Will you cop? Let us know in the comments below.

Even though I’m not a big fan of white Flyknit, I think this colorway of the KD 9 looks pretty clean. The speckled midsole would have to be my favorite part of the shoe.

The Nike Presto is currently releasing in a bolstered, winterized form known as the Nike Presto Mid Utility after a collaboration with ACRONYM kicked things off for the mid-top transformation. Nike Sportswear plans on continuing to update the early 2000s running retro, and Spring 2017 will see yet another brand new installment in the Nike Presto Extreme.

The Nike Air Presto Extreme ditches the protective cage overlay completely and instead opts for a sleek, laceless slip-on construction with tape technology, neoprene, and a flexible midfoot strap with additional ‘NIKE’ branding. After a brief preview last week, today we get a look at 5 upcoming colorways that keep the respective color blocking options rather simple. A black bolstered ventilated mesh ankle support contracts neoprene hits of white, royal, red, volt, and pink. What do you think of the new look?

Check out more options of the Nike Presto Extreme below and stay tuned for more NSW updates right here on Sneaker News.

Previously offered in black and grey iterations, the Nike Air Max 90 Royal receives a new finish of Rough Green for its Fall/Winter 2016 lineup.

This modern variation of the iconic runner essentially elevates its aesthetic with lifestyle flair, as its deconstructed upper is composed of synthetic suede, dipped in rough green. The revamped silhouette is further detailed with a buffed midsole and complementing vachetta tan-colored leather-wrapped heel that serves as a stabilizer, for a contemporary upgrade on its original design.

You can purchase this standout pair at select NikeLab retailers worldwide, as well as directly online now, for a price tag of $260.

I’m a fan of this elevated take on the runner. The construction is solid and the colorway is just appealing in general. I’m against that price tag though.

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the Swoosh unveils its annual Nike N7 collection, which raises awareness and demystifies stereotypes about Native American culture, as well as to encourage resilience against adversity.

This year’s collection, dubbed “Spirit Of Protection”, features Lyle Thompson of the Onondaga Nation in upstate New York. His story reflects the “Dare to Rise” attitude inherent to all N7 ambassadors and to inspire fellow Native American and Aboriginal youth in North America to participate in sport and physical activity.

Known as the youngest of lacrosse?s famously formidable Thompson Brothers, he was born into the hawk clan, which, along with his spirit animal, the eagle, inform his native name: Deyhahsanoondey.

In Thompson?s view, the hawk is one of nature?s stronger, smarter animals and possesses intuition and vision. ?[A hawk] has great vision, like myself; I have vision when I play the game. I?m someone who sees the field really well.?

Utilizing the hawk’s feather print as the collection’s defining theme, a black-and-white hawk-feather print with turquoise accents is prevalent across a range of men’s and women’s apparel, as well as exclusive footwear — Air Jordan 31, Pegasus 89 and Air Force 1 Ultra Low for men, in addition to the Pegasus 89 and Nike AF Upstep Warrior for women.

Fellow ambassadors of the exclusive line also include basketball guard Jude Schimmel and musician and dancer, Taboo.

You can find this exclusive lineup of items at select Nike retailers nationwide, as well as online starting Monday, November 7.

Previously featured in a timeless combination of dark grey/wolf grey, the revamped Nike Air Max 95 Ultra SE is now rendered in the ubiquitous triple black finish for Fall/Winter 2016.

Unlike its traditional leather/suede makeup, the modernized runner has been enhanced with a mixture of foam and mesh across its seamless upper to promote a more lightweight and comfortable profile. The sneaker is also punctured with perforations to enable sufficient ventilation as well.

Additionally, further defines its distinctive aesthetic while evoking a deconstructed vibe for more modern appeal. Finally, 3M reflective heels and a matching full-length sole unit finishes off the sleek design overall.

This is probably one of the best options available so far. I’m just biased it seems, but the quality and construction/colorways offered are pretty stylish and suitable for the season. This custom is worth purchasing in my opinion. I would’ve preferred it on more silhouettes too.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook face off for the first time in Thunder vs. Warriors Pt. 1 tonight and we have an inclining that you might want to turn on TNT tonight at 10:30PM EST. The Nike KD 9 has been featured in a number of PE colorways already, usually in a vibrant combination of the Warriors’ royal and yellow colors, but in terms of retail releases, the best colorways have used stark contrast and minimal vibrancy to look as good off-the-court as on it. We’ve already seen the Nike KD 9 “Oreo” release this past summer, but now another Nike KD 9 White Black release will be arriving at retailers this December 15th for $150 USD.

The KD 9 benefits from a molded Flyknit upper with a 3/4 length Zoom Air cushioning system for a comfortable ride that still allows for a lightweight feel allowing for quick cuts and signature impact absorption. If the first “Oreo” take wasn’t for you, there’s something to be said about the “Home” version displayed here as a marbled black and white toe and forefoot gives way to a ventilated white heel to contrast the speckled black midsole. What do you think of the Nike KD 9 White Black?

Check out more detailed photos after the break and stay tuned for more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

The Nike Air Max 96 turned 20 this year. Although that may be the case, Nike did not do much in terms of celebrating the model this year. Yes, they brought the model back, but the releases and colorways were far and few in between. With the year coming to an end, Nike has decided to put on the spotlight on the anniversary with these two special releases.

Celebrating 20 years of existence is the Nike Air Max 96 and the Nike Air Max 96 II. The major difference between the two lies in the use of the Ultra sole placed on version II. Both versions come in a Black and White aesthetic, where Black takes of the upper and the White is found on the large Air Max unit. Both models are now available internationally for $169 each, which pair are you feeling the most? Stay tuned to find out when these drop stateside.

Author’s Take

Very clean and simple. If I had to pick between the two, I’d opt for the II version only because I know it will be lighter and more comfortable.
