Whether you’re a Tarheel or not, this is going to be a hard colorway to pass up for Air Force 1 fans. Grab ’em while they last at select Nike Sportswear retailers like Kith.

Chelsea has announced a new 15-year £900 million sponsorship with Nike to start during the 2017-2018 season, thus ending their current deal with adidas. This will be the largest kit partnership in the history of English football clubs, as the sponsorship will come in at roughly £60 million per season (still behind the yearly total of Manchester United’s 10-year £75 million contract with adidas).

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia had this to say about the new partnership between the Blues and the Swoosh: ?This is an incredibly exciting and important deal for the club. Like Chelsea, Nike is known around the world for its excellence and innovation and we look forward to working together in what is sure to be a successful partnership. We believe Nike will be able to support our growth into new markets as well as helping us maintain our place among the world?s elite football clubs.?

Trevor Edwards, President of Nike Brand also chimed in: ?Chelsea is a world-class club with a rich tradition and passionate fans across the globe. The partnership with Chelsea reinforces our leadership position in football. We are excited to help grow the club?s global reach, serving players and supporters with Nike innovation and design.”

What do you think about Chelsea’s switch from the three stripes to the Swoosh? Stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers are still riding high off the momentum from last season’s incredible NBA Finals win, but with the upcoming season only a few weeks away, there’s still plenty to figure out as the dust settles before the Cavs hang their first banner in the rafters. Early reports had the Nike Kyrie 3 slated for a late-November early-December preview from Nike Basketball with design duties likely handed over to Leo Chang once again. But now we have word from Kyrie himself courtesy of WFNY’s Scott Sargent confirming that the Kyrie 3 will release on January 21st, 2017. According to Irving:

?I think we release on January 21st but I definitely will be wearing a pair of 3s for Christmas and going forward for any other holidays,? Kyrie said following the Cavalier’s Thursday shootaround. ?January 21st is what we?re looking to aim at. I?m excited. I?m excited to put the product out to you guys and the stories behind the shoes and the creative behind it. I get really juiced up about it. I get to put my artistic mind to the test.?

Stay tuned for an upcoming preview of the Nike Kyrie 3 right here on Sneaker News and in the meantime, check out the latest colorways of Irving’s Nike Kyrie 2.

2017 will be a banner year for the Nike Air Foamposite One, as Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear will honor Eric Avar’s legendary albeit polarizing basketball model’s 20th anniversary with a number of new colorways, OG retros, and more. Until then, the Swoosh is still creating awesome new offerings for this upcoming Fall/Winter 2016 season like the Nike Foamposite Night Maroon slated to release on October 20th for $230 USD.

Classic gum bottoms on the Nike Air Foamposite One are by no means a traditional offering for the famed basketball retro, but it is a feature that Nike started to utilize a few years ago. By adding the gum outsole, a jarring contrast occurs between the bottom and the unique, still-somehow futuristic Foamposite upper. The Nike Foamposite Night Maroon features a pearlescent dose of deep maroon throughout the Foamposite construction while a traditional black lining keeps things simple. Expect this pair to appear somewhere on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ bench rotation before the All-Star break.

The Nike Air Foamposite One “Night Maroon” releases at select retailers like Rock City Kicks next Thursday. Check out our best view of the latest Foamposite offering below and be sure to stay updated on the latest release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Nike has just released an all-new colorway of the Air Force 1 that you don’t wanna sleep on.

Draped in a reflective camo print all throughout the upper, this Air Force 1 Low features an array of colors on the graphic upper including blue, green, red, and tan. Black accents have then been placed on the Swoosh, laces, and inner liner, while a white midsole and gum outsole wrap up the look on this Air Force 1 Low. As you can see in the last image above, the entire upper of the shoe reflects when hit by the light.

You can pick up your pair now directly from nike.com for $100.

Author’s Take

The camo graphic on the upper is a good look and the fact they’re reflective is also pretty cool. Solid colorway for a reasonable price.

Nike’s latest Air Max flagship model is introduced today as we get our first official look at the Nike Air Max 2017.

Boasting a full engineered mesh upper, the Air Max 2017 features a wave pattern/design on the mesh side panels while a large Swoosh has also been added on both the lateral and medial sides. One big difference between the 2017 in comparison to the past couple Air Max models is the fact that Nike decided to remove the Dynamic Flywire that was put in place to lock down the foot. Other details include reflective 3M hits on the upper as well as an Air Max unit sole.

Take a look at two colorways above (blue and black) and look for the Nike Air Max 2017 to debut on November 7, 2016. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Author’s Take

The design looks decent, but I think Nike should have kept the Dynamic Flywire. It gave the shoe more lifestyle appeal in my opinion. I’m curious to see these in person and try on a pair.

The women’s Nike Air Max 1 Ultra receives a premium update this Fall 2016, as it’s treated in an autumnal finish of mahogany/night maroon.

With the defining tones essentially blended across the entire upper in metallic fashion, the result is a bold, yet eye-catching profile overall which emits shimmering flair and hues in various lightning conditions. In addition, the component is detailed with embossed perforations throughout for a more distinctive look.

All offset against a crisp white midsole unit and matching maroon outsole, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers now for $130.

Author’s Take

The silhouette is a classic and in this colorway, it’s an appealing option for the season. Minus the embossed perforations and this pair looks a lot better in a cleaner profile.

More official images of the Nike Air Foamposite One Maroon are unveiled and the model will also be offered in full family sizing.

As suggested, the silhouette is simply defined by the bold reddish hue covering its entire rugged molded upper. Complementing black accents are prominent on the eyelets, tongue, inner lining and pull tabs, while the signature carbon fiber shank is visible on its midsole unit to complement the overall palette. Finally, a versatile gum outsole rounds out the aesthetically pleasing colorway.

With adult sizes listed at $230 — BG (3.5Y-7Y), BP (11c-3Y), BT (5c-10c) and BC (1c-4c) retail for $180, $100, $75 and $50 respectively.

You can purchase this sneaker at select Nike retailers starting October 20th.

I?ll always be a fan of this silhouette. It?s one of my favorite basketball sneakers. The colorway is pretty nice and I?m just biased.

The Nike Air Unlimited is regarded as one of Nike Basketball’s most avant-garde designs, and with NBA legend David Robinson wearing them on court, the recipe for success was rather simple. Last year, Pigalle brought the Air Unlimited out of the vault to give us a taste of this retro goodness, and this Holiday, this iconic hoops shoe will get a big push in several OG and premium colorways. Today we get a detailed look at the “Purple Smoke” and “Noble Red” colorways, which feature tonal uppers and solid white soles in the predictable NikeLab technique. These are releasing today at select Nike Sportswear retailers and should release on Nike.com shortly.

A unique and eye-catching model since the day it was born, the foot-hugging, asymmetric design of the Footscape has become a cult classic throughout the years, and a silhouette that definitely falls under the “love it or hate it” category.

NikeLab’s predictable approach of fashioning its Retro models with tonal leather uppers and solid white outsoles isn’t stopping anytime soon. While that aesthetic is a great match for silhouettes from the 70s and 80s (Air Force 1, Blazer, Dunk, etc), is it the right fit for more eccentric designs like the Air Unlimited? We saw the tan suede version not long ago so it isn’t too surprising that the tonal-on-white look is surfacing in other colorways, like this all-black version that is set to release this Holiday season (coincidentally, a perfect fit for Spurs legend David Robinson). We’ll let you know when a release date is locked in.

The Nike Kyrie 2 has had a pretty good run as we’ve seen plenty of nice colorways hit retailers and it will also go down in the history books as the sneaker that Kyrie Irving wore when he captured his first NBA championship.

The exact release date for Kyrie Irving’s 3rd signature is not know just yet, but we do know that it is expected to debut in January of 2017.
