Heads up! For everyone waiting for the Nike Air Max 95 Sneakerboot Triple Black to drop, it recently landed on Nike’s website. This all-Black rendition of the hybrid model has the sneakerboot done in a versatile Black hue from top to bottom. Constructed out of mesh, neoprene and leather, it exudes the aesthetics of the Nike Air Max 95, just in a boot design. The Black hues extend down to the Air Max sole unit to give the shoe a true Blacked out look. Out now and priced at $200, let us know if you plan on pulling the trigger.

Author’s Take

As a general rule, I usually don’t mess with sneakerboots, but these all-Black joints are something I can mess with. The tonal look kind of hides some of the notable features I’m not too fond on the shoe.

We previously gave you a first look at the brand new model, the Nike Air Zoom Talaria Mid Flyknit. Now we have the model’s official images in all the three colors that are slated to release during the month of December. Let’s get a closer look.

This upcoming new Nike model has the Nike Air Zoom Talaria converted into a midtop and given a brand new Flyknit construction. Major features on all the three colorways include the new outsole with improved traction, the Flyknit upper that makes the shoe much more lighter, and the suede side panels that give the shoe more of a boot-like aesthetic. A sock-like upper  gives you additional support and lockdown, while the metal eyelets give the shoe a nice touch. Releasing sometime in December, let us know what you think.

Author’s Take

I wonder what it would look like as a low-top. Regardless, it?s still a pretty cool looking shoe if you?re aiming for that kind of style. Not for me, but it?s dope.

Nike has made the 2016 auto lace Nike Air Mag available this week via a raffle through their SNKRS app. For $10 per ticket you can enter raffle to win a pair of Mags while at the same time donating to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. The raffle started on October 4th and will run though October 11th. The winners will then be notified on October 17th.

If you’re a fan of the Nike SB Dunk then you’ll be happy to know that there’s a new colorway of the SB Dunk Low arriving at retailers tomorrow.

Known appropriately as the ?Orange Box? colorway, this SB Dunk Low comes equipped with a full leather upper done in Safety Orange, White and Cream. Some of the details of this colorway include an embossed shoe box logo on the lateral side of the shoe, and special insoles with pictures of past and present Nike SB boxes. A Black rubber outsole wraps things up on this SB Dunk Low.

Pick up your pair at select Nike SB locations on October 6th (tomorrow) for a retail price of $100.

I?m not a big fan of the colorway, but I like the embossed shoe box and the insoles. I wish both things would have been more visible.

No, it’s not the high top version, but I’m sure that it’s still dope to see the Sea Crystal colorway make a return to the Nike SB line. Said to be releasing this holiday season, here’s a first look at the Nike SB Dunk Low Sea Crystal.

Made popular by the Nike SB Dunk High, this time around, Nike SB puts the Sea Crystal color scheme on the SB Dunk Low. Ice Crystal and Sea Crystal take care of the suede panels on the upper, while the Black accents provide some sharp contrast. A White base, tonal midsole and Black outsole round out the main traits of the shoe. Are you looking to add these to your collection? Will this be an instant classic just like the high top version? Stay tuned to find out when these get an exact release date.

I like how Nike is bringing back iconic colorways of the Dunk Low/High and placing them on the High/Low. It’s having two different versions of the same dope colorway.

Nike will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Nike Air Foamposite One next year. What better way to celebrate the 20 years of existence than by re-releasing one of the dopest colorways that started it all, the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal.

Rumored to officially be known as the Nike Air Foamposite One XX, the Foamposite One rocks the ever-so-popular Royal porite upper, offset by the hits of Black noted in areas such as the heel, lining, laces, eyestay, tongue and pull tabs. Branding it spotted on the toe, tongue and heel, while a translucent outsole and carbon fiber take care of the sole unit. Retailing for $230, expect to see these drop January of next year.  Be sure to visit our Nike Air Foamposite One Royal hub page for the shoe’s latest info and images.

Author’s Take

This colorway of the Foams are definitely going to sell out. Its a classic/iconic colorway. I’m sure people are happy to see these make a return to celebrate the model’s 20th!

Nike Sportswear’s obsession with the Mercurial line continues as the soccer-inspired Nike Mercurial Flyknit IX is back with the perfect combination of University Red and Black for a head-turning colorway that will be hard to pass up on. The Nike Zoom Mercurial IX Flyknit takes inspiration from Ronaldo’s infamous boots back in 1998 but also brings another late 90s icon with it – the Nike Zoom Spiridon – by outfitting the bottom with the Zoom technology found in that cult-classic running model.

The Nike Mercurial Flyknt IX utilizes an exposed Flyknit upper for a supportive yet flexible ride found here in a vibrant University Red to Black gradient. The mid-cut collar has a sock-like finish for an extremely comfortable fit while a black leather heel adds a luxurious finish complete with added star stitching on this release. Be sure to check out a full look at this latest “Bred” take on the Nike Mercurial Flyknit IX and grab your pair today from Sneaker Politics for $200 USD.

We’re as excited for the Nike Air Vapormax as any upcoming silhouette for 2017, as Nike has revolutionized Air Max technology once again through the creation of pod-like visible air that not only keeps its form but is flexible enough to move with a runner’s natural foot motion. Pair that with a bolstered sock-like Flyknit upper that’s as sleek as it is fashionable, and the Nike Vapormax should be on everyone’s shortlist of must-haves for the Spring 2017 season, especially given the fact that COMME des GARCONS is cosigning the model with an upcoming collaboration.

This all-black COMME des GARCONS Nike Vapormax keeps things simple thanks to shades of black and anthracite throughout while that flexible visible air unit gets a matching smokey visual. What do you think of the look? While we’ll have to wait a few months until these arrive in expected limited quantaties, we’ll keep you updated on more of the latest Nike Sportswear collaborative news right here on Sneaker News.

It’s been over a decade since we last saw the Nike SB Dunk High Pro “Sea Crystal”, a unique colorway that turned heads thanks to an Ice Green suede combination that had Dunk fanatics running out to get more than one pair given how easily the suede faded and attracted dirt. Nike Skateboarding has been bringing back some of their most iconic creations for a retro treatment, but has been given original high-tops the low-top treatment and vice versa for a slight deviation from the norm. While we’d love to see a true and through retro of the Nike Dunk Sea Crystal, this Nike SB Dunk Low take on the retro colorway definitely warrants some attention.

The Nike Dunk Sea Crystal will return to retailers this Holiday 2016 season in lowtop form and sports the traditional Ice Green and Sea Crystal teal combination as the suede panels beautifully give way to a matching midsole. A high-contrast black lining matches the Swoosh branding and outsole while a white base keeps things simple. Are you excited about the return of the Nike Dunk Sea Crystal? Check out more detailed shots below and know that we’ll keep you updated on a release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.

No graphics, no gimmicks, just color, preferably shiny. That should be the mantra of the color lab at Nike Sportswear whenever they come up with new editions of the Nike Air Foamposite One. After a few years there where we dreaded each new release that featured awful graphics and nonsensical colorways, the ships seems to have been righted with a handful of solid drops this year and now we’ve got another potential hit in our hands with this Maroon release that’s shiny just like how we want it.

To learn more about this upcoming drop, be sure to follow our Nike Air Foamposite One Maroon launch page for all the latest info, images, videos and links to buy on release day later this month.

With this pair recently showcased as part of the brand’s Spring 2017 collection during Paris Fashion Week, the silhouette is essentially treated in an all-black finish. Comprised of breathable flyknit across its upper, the component bears notable Comme des Garçons branding on an attached piece which covers the eye stays. Finally, a glossy and matching new Air sole unit tops off its blacked-out profile.

You can expect to find this pair at select Nike and CDG boutiques starting in 2017.

The Nike Mag was finally made available to the public yesterday through a digital drawing with those interested entering a lottery by purchasing a $10 ticket. Only 89 pairs released making the “release” more akin to the Powerball Lottery given the likelihood of actually attaining the unattainable. It was all for a good cause, though, with the Back To The Future sneaker raising millions for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson?s Research.

Michael J. Fox joined Good Morning America to talk about the legendary sneaker and Parkinsons research while showing the world just how mezmorizing auto-lacing technology can be. Be sure to watch Michael J. Fox’s appearance on the morning staple with a special guest spot featuring the auto-lacing Nike Air Mag and check out our own video of the new Mag below.

Is Kobe Bryant the greatest Laker of all time? The Los Angeles faithful will have to debate that topic for years to come, but it’s worth noting that the Black Mamba did spend every single one of his 20 NBA seasons in the purple and gold. Nike Basketball has been releasing a plethora of awesome Kobe 11 colorways throughout the summer, but it’s great to see the Nike Kobe Venomenon 5 embrace the classic purple and gold color scheme with this latest release.

The Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon 5 turned heads thanks to its wavy midsole unit, icy heel construction with unique diamond-shaped cuts, and premium use of Dynamic Flywire for a silhouette that could be considered a stellar signature model if it weren’t for the fact that the Kobe 11 already existed. The entire package comes equipped for just $120 USD and now with a Court Purple mesh base and yellow branding accents, you can pay tribute to Kobe’s Laker tenure one last time. Check out more detailed photos below and be on the lookout for this pair to arrive at retailers later this month.

2017 marks the 20th Anniversary of one of the most game-changing, influential sneakers in Nike history – the Air Foamposite One. Designed by Eric Avar and made famous by Mike Bibby and then later Penny Hardaway, the Air Foamposite One was a design marvel that was a bit ahead of its time. It garnered a cult following in select cities and later became the most popular sneaker in our culture, leading to groundbreaking releases like the “Galaxy” in 2012, the “ParaNorman” collaboration, and more.

Next year, Nike will celebrate the silhouette beginning with the OG “Dark Neon Royal” colorway. Slated to release in January of 2017, the Air Foamposite One XX is just the first of a string of Foamposite One drops that will be sure to cause a stir. Get a look at the official images below and let us know if Foamposites can make a comeback!
