Here’s a first look at the Nike Cortez Athletics West Pack. What’s the inspiration behind these colorful pairs of Cortez? Let me explain. Back in 1977, Bill Bowerman, Phil Knight and Geoff Hollister created what is now known as the Athletic West running team. This team was used as a platform for runners who wanted to practice, improve and perform outside of their college programs. Most, if not all runners in the team ran in none other than the Nike Cortez. Now Nike is honoring that historic team by releasing the Nike Cortez Athletics West Pack consisting of an array of colors placed on the Nike Cortez. Above you will find 6 different colorways of the Nike Cortez that make up the Athletics West pack. Features on the shoes include the AW branding on the insoles, the classic foam tongue, the tonal laces, traditional Swoosh branding and heel branding and two-toned uppers. Available at select retailers, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Pretty cool inspiration. I don’t really wear Cortez, but I’m not afraid to give credit to a classic sneaker that’s well done.

A pretty dope Nike SB Dunk Low is releasing next month. Based off the name of the shoe, we’re pretty sure you know what the inspiration behind the colorway is. Officially named the Nike SB Dunk Low Shoebox, let’s get up close and personal with the shoe.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Shoebox is inspired by the original boxing on Nike SB sneakers. Mimicking the look of the box, the shoe comes with a premium leather upper coming in Beige and Orange. A dope little feature on the shoe is the embossed box graphic placed on the lateral side of the heel. Take a look inside and you will find custom insoles consisting stacks on top of stacks of different types Nike SB Boxes. White breaks up the two-toned look as it can be found on the Nike Swoosh, laces and midsole. Said to be releasing on October 6th, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Never been a big fan of Nike SB, but I do prefer the SB Dunk Low or the SB Dunk High. The box inspiration is pretty cool. This may end up being the first SB I’ve bought in quite some time.

Multi-Color has finally landed on the Nike Roshe Two Flyknit and it’s just a matter of time before we get a stateside release. The Multi-Color lineage has proven to be as strong as ever for Nike, as the rainbow array of woven constructions has landed on everything from the Flyknit Racer to the Nike Kobe series. With the Nike Roshe Two Flyknit, the look takes on a totally new aesthetic thanks to the speckle-heavy print found here.

The Roshe Two Flyknit features a new ribbed woven upper with black speckled base interrupted by the vibrancy found in the Multi-Color look. A black heel panel adds support to match the Swoosh branding while the new outsole unit benefits from a splash of Nike’s signature Volt shade. What do you think of the look? Check out detailed photos after the break and be sure to head to our release dates page for more of the latest updates.

The Nike Air Footscape Magista Flyknit has been one of Nike Sportswear’s most successful models for its premium Flyknit build, comfortable ride, and aggressive aesthetic even off the soccer pitch. It’s great to see that NSW is still tinkering with the color blocking of the model, as today we get a look at as close to a “Bred” pair as we’ve seen yet thanks to a premium Gym Red woven upper paired with Black suede panels on the heel to match the Footscape-inspired outsole unit.

The Nike Footscape Woven Flyknit even manages to camouflage the Swoosh side panel branding through a matching Gym Red shade for an interesting new take. Luxurious Metallic Gold accents arrive on the heel tab with worldly ‘Nike Football’ branding printed in multiple languages including Chinese to match the sublimated Swoosh stitching on the heel.

Stay tuned for a release date this October and be sure to stay updated on the latest release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

Nike Golf might no longer be the equipment business, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of the game completely as ESPN’s Darren Rovell is reporting that Jason Day has signed with the brand for close to $10 million a year to wear their shoes and apparel.

While no official word has come out from either Day or Nike Golf, this is the final year of Day’s contract with adidas Golf (shoes and apparel) and TaylorMade (equipment), which is currently for sale by adidas. Day has already resigned with TaylorMade, so he will continue to use their clubs and balls regardless of where it ends up going in the sale.

Acquiring Day, the current #1 ranked player in the world, would be a huge “get” for Nike Golf in spite of their departure from the equipment game, joining former world #1 Rory McIlroy and some guy named Tiger Woods. As an adidas athlete, he wore the adidas TOUR360 Boost this season and won the PGA Championship last year in the adiPower Boost shoes. And if you’re wondering, yes, he has Yeezys, so he’ll be fine on the way out…

Nike Skateboarding has gone through plenty of transformations since bursting onto the scene in 2002, but the Nike SB Dunk Low remains one of the imprint’s most popular offerings. Collaborations with Supreme, Staple, Diamond, and more have created some timeless classics atop the Nike Dunk series. Not only has the silhouette’s upper and hidden footbed been transformed by different textiles and Lunarlon technology, but the box that’s accompanied the Dunk has changed colors over time too. Nike SB is honoring the cardboard box with their latest Nike SB Dunk Low Shoebox slated for an October 6th release.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Shoebox features a premium construction of beige and orange leather throughout to mirror the original boxing. An embossed box graphic hits the heel while the insole features original artwork of the numerous Nike SB boxes over the years ranging from pink, blue, grey, orange, and black all stacked on top of one another in cartoonish simplicity. What do you think of the look? Check out official photos after the break and grab your pair this October from select shops.

With an Olympic variation being its most notable release recently, the Nike Zoom Spiridon is set to debut in a standout colorway next, as part of the golden shine pack.

As suggested, the retro runner’s aesthetic is pronounced with metallic gold accents gracing the Swooshes across its side panels. A complementing tone is utilized for the breathable mesh upper, while the remainder of its profile is rendered in black to offset the vivid tones perfectly.

All adhered atop a clean white midsole unit and black rubber outsole, you can purchase this bold pair at select Nike retailers starting September 15th for a retail price tag of $175.

Nike looks back to their running heritage for a special “Athletics West” pack of the Cortez in six vintage inspired colorways. Bringing back original colorways of the Cortez and other late ’70s to early ’80s Nike running shoes (including the OG Oregon and Syracuse SMU Cortez colorways), the pack pays tribute to Athletics West, Nike’s track and field club from the same era. In the Cortez’s classic nylon construction complete with fat belly Swooshes, each colorway in the set features the vintage “pinwheel” logo on the the heel and the Athletics West insignia on the sockliner for an edition of the iconic runner that any vintage Nike lover should approve of. Available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers overseas, let’s hope these also arrive in the US soon.

Last offered in midnight turquoise, the Nike Air Footscape Magista returns in another understated colorway to perfectly coordinate with the Fall/Winter season.

This time draped in burgundy, the hue is essentially prominent on the flyknit upper and extended sock-like collar, while contrasting black accents converge throughout the remainder, in particular, the Swooshes, pull tabs, suede overlays on the heel and full-length sole unit. Furthermore, hints of gold are seen on the rear and tongue tag via branding.

Retailing for $200, you can purchase this sneaker/soccer boot hybrid at select Nike retailers starting October 3.

Nike has just dropped a new colorway of the Nike Air Max Zero. While the silhouette may not be as popular as it was when it debuted last year, there is still lots of people who are fans of “the one before the 1.”

This new colorway of the Air Max Zero has some retro flavor to it as the colorway is inspired by the OG Persian Violet colorway of the Nike Air Max BW. Looking at the shoe we can see that it features Black on the majority of the upper with Persian Violet and White detailing scattered throughout the shoe, including on the branding.

You can find this Nike Air Max Zero at select Nike retailers now for $150.

The only colorway of the Nike Air Max Zero that I’ve liked so far is the original blue/white pair. Other than that I haven’t seen a pair I’d be willing to buy.

The shoe features College Navy on the majority of the Flyknit upper with Wolf Grey creeping through the toe and on the ankle and cage support.

We’re a little over a week away from the official beginning of Fall which means lots of folks will be going back to wearing their boots. If you’re a person that only wears sneakers during the Fall and Winter but want something that’s going to protect your feet better, you may want to consider picking up some duckboots if you don’t own any already.

Nike has been making duckboots for quite some time now and one of their most popular is the Nike Lunar Force 1 Duckboot. Today we look at the reconstructed version of the Air Force 1 as it comes dressed in a leather and rubber Olive upper with Cargo Khaki detailing to keep the Fall theme. Other details include metal eyelets, a Black Lunarlon midsole, and a gum rubber outsole.

Nike Basketball has honored Kobe Bryant through an onslaught of awesome Kobe 11 releases this off-season, but what’s next for the brand now that the Black Mamba has hung up his signature sneakers for good? You could say that there’s a “Black Space” on the Lakers roster without number 24 to match the open roster spot on Nike Basketball, so this Nike Kobe 11 Black Space is the perfect homage to the absent Kobe to start off next season.

The Kobe 11 Black Space features a premium black on black Flyknit construction complete with a contrasting icy bottom. Red stitching hits the heel in the only splash of color this Nike Kobe 11 Elite pair sees. The “Black Space” Kobe 11 will be available for purchase on October 1st for $200. Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.
