Nike continues to turn some of our favorite Nike Sportswear silhouettes into sneakerboots with one of the latest being the Nike Air Presto. Known for its low top cut and neoprene construction, Nike has now made the Air Presto taller and tougher than ever.

Known as the Nike Air Presto Mid Utility, this modified version of the classic runner features the same Presto bottom, with the addition of synthetic uppers, double zippers, OG caging and a few other details that were found on the OG. This pair above comes covered in Cool Grey throughout the majority of the upper with black and white detailing throughout.

Grab a pair now at select Nike accounts this week (November 3rd) for $140.

Author’s Take

At first I wasn’t really feeling the this Air Presto Mid Utility, but the more I see it the more I like it. I’d like to see these in person and see how they feel on my feet.

Nike Skateboarding continues to celebrate the joy of purchasing a brand new pair of shoes and all of the different colors their boxes were dressed up in over the years with yet another Nike SB Dunk colored up to represent Nike SB’s cardboard. The Nike SB Dunk High Purple Box has quite the familiar aesthetic though, as the entire look is undeniably similar to the iconic MF Doom Dunks (a pair that also came in the black and purple box that this pair alludes to).

Whether it’s the high-contrast white 3M reflective piping throughout, the subtle hint of premium ostrich leather on the side panels, and the touches of suede, the Nike SB Dunk High Purple Box pays homage to MF Doom’s collaboration or at least is inspired by it. If only we could get a proper retro in the near future. You don’t have to wait for this premium Nike SB Dunk High pair to arrive at retailers either. Find your size now on eBay. Full release details coming in the near future.

I still want to get my hands on a pair of the Air Max 1 Ultra Flyknit. I’ve heard lots of good things about the shoe. This looks more like a women’s colorway though so I’ll continue to wait.

What? Y’all thought he was finished? No Kobe, no problem! Earlier today, Nike introduced the first post-retirement Kobe Bryant signature shoe, the Nike Kobe A.D. As far as our understanding goes, the Kobe A.D. is set to be the next main signature shoe for Kobe. In other words, this could also be known as the Nike Kobe 12. Take a good look at the shoe above and just know that Kicks on Fire is currently at the Nike launch event in Los Angeles. Be sure to follow us on IG to check our IG stories to get a good look at what the launch event is all about. More details are soon to follow. First thoughts on the shoe?

There?s been a couple colorways of the Air Griffey Max 1 that I?ve sort of liked, but this is easily the best one yet. That sandy suede upper looks real nice on this shoe.

Nike has just released two new colorways of the Nike Air Max Zero and they’re both perfectly suited for the Fall season.

Introducing Kobe Bryant’s first post-retirement sneaker, the Nike Kobe AD. Kobe’s illustrious career came to a close with one of the most signature Black Mamba moments possible – putting up 60 points including the go-ahead bucket in his final win at the Staples Center. Nike Basketball kept that in mind when crafting his latest silhouette, one that defines the “Mamba Mentality” through a low-profile model with micro-tread traction and a new Lunarlon foam midsole.

The Nike Kobe A.D. also features a flashy iridescent heel plate with a hidden Zoom Air unit that’s sure to warrant some attention for added stability and protection while a new mesh upper is aided by lockdown support through additional Dynamic Flywire. The debut colorway takes on a similar “Battle Grey” colorway for the season’s opening months while white branding allows for the magnificent heel construction to stand out.

?Even though I am not on the court every day, there are people around the world who are helping to keep the ?Mamba Mentality? alive,? Kobe Bryant said regarding his latest Nike Kobe AD model. ?I have seen it in basketball, football and with everyday individuals who are working to be better and are committed to being great.?

The Nike Kobe AD will arrive at select retailers and on Nike.com on November 21st for $160 USD. Check out more official photos below and let us know what you think of the Black Mamba’s first post-retirement shoe by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

Nike’s paid homage to their original Nike Air Force 1 ad, that iconic image of six defensive specialists in Michael Cooper, Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, Mychal Thompson, Calvin Natt, and Jamaal Wilkes before. The Swoosh revamped the vintage flight suit aesthetic for the Nike Air Force 1’s 25th Anniversary celebration and now they’re bringing back the characteristics of toughness and strength with the winter-ready Nike Special Forces AF1, slated to arrive at retailers this Saturday, November 5th.

This time around, Nike Sportswear is enlisting the help of Draymond Green, Paul George, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, and Isiah Thomas to help push the Nike Special Forces AF1, an upgraded take on Bruce Kilgore’s iconic model that blends technical performance with high fashion luxury. A full-grain leather, ripstop ballistic nylon, and adjustable ankle straps that double as handles for the accompanying Special Field tote bag all highlight this release. A hidden compartment on the tongue even gives you an extra pocket for secret storage. You can see more official photos of the Nike SF-AF1 here.

The Nike Special Field AF1 will release in two men’s colorways, a “Faded Olive” and “Black/Gum”, and two women’s colorways, a “Light Bone” and “Golden Beige” on November 5th via the Nike SNKRS App and at select retailers.

NikeLab has been a reliable source for premium lifestyle takes on some of your favorite sportswear models for quite some time now, so it’s no surprise that the imprint has decided to transform Bruce Kilgore’s iconic retro basketball model, the Nike Air Force 1, into a militarized and winter-ready canvas take known as the Nike SF-AF1. Today we get an official look at a women’s exclusive white colorway of the Nike Special Field Air Force 1 featuring paracord straps that double as the handles to the accompanying duffle bag. (You can see the matching duffle bag here).

The Nike SF-AF1 was designed by Nike Sportswear designer Ben Kirschner who also helmed the Jordan Future and Nike Zoom Cabos. The workwear take utilizes military-grade materials throughout with a tumbled leather doing most of the heavy lifting on this particular off-white colorway. What do you think of the Nike SF-AF1? There’s still no word yet on a release date, but expect this women’s exclusive militarized Air Force 1 to drop later this month on Nike.com.

The classic Dr. Doom iteration is set to return next month and this next rendition of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro continues the Fantastic Four theme next year with a Metallic Silver ? ?Silver Surfer? finish.

This latest gallery showcases the basketball sneaker draped in the defining shimmering hue with a carbon fiber print across its entirety for a more distinctive look. Contrasting black accents are prominent across its tongue, eye stays and inner lining to complement its simple two-tone color scheme, while more shiny elements with the Swoosh logos adorn each side panel. Finally, a translucent outsole finishes off the overall profile.

With its suggested retail price listed at $250, you can expect to find this pair 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.

Kobe Bryant’s fascination with Harry Potter is well-documented. Whether there’s a hidden meaning behind Mamba’s fandom of the beloved franchise – something about being a chosen one to defeat an evil force is something he probably relates to (*cough* Shaq *cough*) – is something we’ll leave up for debate, but one thing we do know is that a Kobe sneaker dropping this weekend will once again have a connection to the Potter universe. Even if it doesn’t really make that much sense.

The Nike Kobe 7 Invisibility Cloak is such a contradictory name for such a colorful sneaker. With an iridescent upper, the shoe is hardly the type to blend in and has gone to be a cult classic among Mamba fans. Will the Nike Kobe 11 Invisibility Cloak be just as popular as the original? It’ll be interesting to see… or not see.
