Introducing the Nike Air Max 2017. The signature Air Max line seems set on the combination of Engineered Mesh and 360 degrees of visible Air on the midsole and outsole unit, as that duo has been the standard for the past four models. But this year, the regularly visible Dynamic Flywire is ditched for a unique new aesthetic.

Details still remain rather limited in regards to the Air Max 2017, but from the official photos previewed throughout this post, the rigid mesh construction creates a wavy upper that bolsters the side panel and heel for a head-turning design sure to make, well, waves once a number of colorways arrive on November 7th in men’s, women’s, and kid’s size runs. The signature Engineered Mesh construction adds a flexible ventilation to the forefront and helps solidify a gradient before reaching the reflective 3M Swoosh branding on the side panel.

Check out the two debut colorways of the Nike Air Max 2017 below and let us know if you plan on grabbing a pair on November 7th in the comments section.

A dope Nike Air Force 1 Mid recently dropped and this one comes in a pretty bold colorway that has the shoe comes in a University Blue hue. If you’re a fan of this shade of Blue and can’t get enough of the Air Force 1, I advise you take a look at this readily available release.

Constructed out of a combination of nubuck and leather, the majority of the shoe’s upper is done in the aforementioned University Blue colorway. The same hue also takes care of the strap, laces, lining, tongue and tongue branding. Giving the shoe some nice pop are the White hits placed on the Nike Air on the heel, the Nike Swoosh on the panels, the tongue tag and the entire sole unit. Out now, pick up your very own pair for $95. North Carolina fans, would you rock these? Let us know in the comments below.

Very bold looking, but I’m just not a fan of this colorway. I love many shades of Blue, just not this one.

Up next for the Nike Air Huarache Ultra is this Cool Grey offering that will look pretty dope during this Fall season. Rocking a tonal motif, let’s take a closer look at this upcoming drop.

Opting to keep the aesthetics of the shoe very minimal, the upper is constructed out of mesh and neoprene all done in a Cool Grey colorway. Providing minimal contrast is the “NIKE” branding on the heel strap and the additional branding on the tongue. Cleaning things up is the all-White midsole and Black outsole noted below. Very versatile looking, you really can’t go wrong with picking these up. Expect these to drop stateside during the coming weeks. Hot or not? Sound off in the comments below.

While I do appreciate the range of colors and Huarache models Nike gives us, I do feel at times that some of the new releases appear to be a little repetitive. These are cool, but it’s not anything I’ve never seen before.

Up next for the Nike Air Presto Low Utility is this clean and semi-tonal colorway that gives the model a rugged and mean look and feel. Done up in a Dark Grey and Anthracite colorway, let’s get a closer look at this upcoming drop.

The Nike Air Presto Low Utility rocks a very versatile look as the sleek upper comes in a waterproof neoprene and mesh build done in a Dark Grey colorway. Joining the Dark Grey is the Anthracite hits placed throughout the shoe such as on the midsole, branding and cage. Available internationally, it’s only a matter of time before these arrive stateside. Cop or not? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

The color scheme is solid, but I have no need for this type of construction. I’d rather much pick up the regular version of the Presto.

This decade has been loaded with tons of ’90s nostalgia as all of our favorites are getting the 20th anniversary treatment. 2017 is not going to be any different as we celebrate the debut of one of the most iconic and historically significant basketball shoes in Nike’s history with 20th anniversary retro of the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal.

Worn by Penny Hardaway and Mike Bibby, the out of this world shoe was ahead of its time when they first popped up on the court and on the street. Not enough has been made about how influential the Foamposite One has been for the swoosh and honestly other brands as the aesthetic paved the way for the implementation of materials that you never thought was possible or should be used on sneakers to make their way to our feet. We have seen the Royal return a few times already, but this upcoming retro is going to be something else if Nike Sportswear has anything to say about it.

I like bball shoes in general, but I?m not that much of a fan of this design. I do adore it in tonal colorways and this should receive some attention once again, especially those who admire it a lot.

The Nike Kyrie 2 model is just about finished with its time in the limelight. If you ask me, I’d say Kyrie’s second signature shoe did very well for itself, definitely no sophomore slump here. Before you get ready to say adios to the Kyrie 2 and welcome in the Kyrie 3, Nike has at least once more big colorway to drop on the model. We just got word that a Nike Kyrie 2 What The is in the works and it’s slated to drop in December. As of right now, no images or description of the shoe have been provided, but based on how the latest “What The” Nike creations have been, these could be fire or an epic fail. Either way, we can’t wait to see what they look like. As of right now, a tentative release date of December 12th has been recently posted by international retailers. Excited?

Last offered in midnight navy, the Nike Air Odyssey is rendered in a more vibrant finish of gold leaf this Fall 2016.

Essentially a colorway that correlates with the Fall foliage, the sneaker’s suede and mesh upper is treated in a bright goldish hue, while the leather swooshes on its side panels, in addition to the heel counter, is colored in blue for a complementing contrast. Finally, a white midsole unit and black outsole finishes off the sleek profile.
