You Can Try Out The 2016 Nike Mag In NYC
By SoleInsider
Everyone has an opportunity to own a pair of the 2016 Nike Mag, and with 89 only available worldwide, the chances are actually very slim.
While most of us won’t be acquiring the highly-coveted sneaker, Nike‘s media relations director has announced that a special Nike Mag experience is starting today, only in NYC. Those of you who attend can tour the exclusive space, as shown in the gallery above, with the option of trying the sneakers on as well.
If you’re near the area, don’t hesitate to stop by.
Click and bookmark our official Nike Mag (2016) launch page now for more images and information on how to purchase a pair.
A special edition Nike Cortez is introduced in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is observed from September 15 to October 15th.
Boasting a black nylon and nubuck upper, the silhouette’s defining aesthetic is punctuated with vibrant Mexican blanket-inspired Swooshes on the side panels. Additional details include a ?Cortez ?72? in yellow across the heel tabs, insoles that read “L.H.M.” in reference to the respective theme, while it all rests atop a white midsole unit and green outsole.
Priced at $90, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike retailers starting Friday, October 7th.
Nike just hosted an invite-only event at the Nike+ Clubhouse located at 45 Grand in SoHo, allowing invitees to test out the self-lacing Nike Mag for the first time ever. We were guided to the testing area in groups of four, and we were lucky to be the first group called on to give this 27-year-old fantasy a real spin.
The self-lacing Nike Mag features three buttons on the lateral side ankle collar – the yellow to turn on the LED lights, green to tighten, and red to loosen. The shoes itself are surprisingly lightweight and comfortable, while the self-lacing mechanism is extremely easy to use. Again, just 89 pairs will be given out to the public via the lottery drawing; to enter, you can purchase $10 tickets on the Nike+ App or on nike.com/mag.
Nike is opening up this opportunity for NYC locals to try the Nike Mag on. If interested, all you need to do is register for a spot here and visit the Nike+ Clubhouse at your designated time. Check out our video of the self-lacing Nike Mag in action below.
This Custom What The Nike Dunk Takes Inspiration From The City Of New York
By SoleInsider
The “What The” theme that first landed on the Nike SB Dunk a few years back has been done on so many sneakers these days that the special feeling just isn’t there anymore. Our EIC even made a case earlier this year talking about why he thinks the theme should be retired.
Evan Lorberbaum has attempted to breathe some new life into the “What The” theme by creating a new colorway of the Nike Dunk High. Known as the Nike Dunk “What The NYC”, this custom sneaker is a bespoke, one of one, NYC-inspired Nike shoe that also incorporates his original hand painted canvas.
It inspired by three of the most iconic and influential Nike SB Dunks of all-time: the Staple Pigeon Dunk, What the Dunk, and Paris Canvas Dunks. In addition to Lorberbaum’s original hand painted canvas, the shoe alludes to various iconic NYC imagery including a Metro Card, Subway Map, Pizza Box, Lotto Tickets, Crime Scene Tape, New York Times newspaper, concert tickets from MSG, the Palladium, and CBGB, and a cross walk intersection.
This “What the NYC” Dunk is a three way collaborative project between Evan Lorberbaum, Relevant Customs and Good Wood NYC. You can find out more about this collaboration by following @whatthenyc on Instagram and Snapchat.

Author’s Take
I’ve never been to New York, but I can tell that this custom embodies the New York spirit all over. Pretty amazing work by all parties involved.
NIKEiD Will Soon Give You The Greedy Option For The Nike Air Max 95
By SoleInsider
How many of you remember the Nike Air Max 95 Greedy that dropped about a year ago? Initially mistaken for a “What The” rendition of the shoe, this Air Max 95 was simply a funky mismatched/multi-color version of the classic model.
If you decided to pass on the release and are regretting it now, don’t worry, NIKEiD will soon have the “Greedy” option for you to take advantage of. This new options gives you the ability to alternate the color of the lace loops on the medial and lateral sides. You have your choice Neon, Grape, Teal, Orange, etc. Take a look at the images above to get an idea and just know that you’ll be able to do this to your very own creation in the near future.
More Colorways Of The Nike Roshe Mid Winter Stamina Hiking Have Surfaced
By SoleInsider
We just went over the Nike Roshe Mid Winter Stamina Hiking these past couple of days. We now got word that even more GS colorways of the model are available for purchase now. Let’s get a closer look at all the new options we have.
This GS-exclusive model is supposed to be a mid top winter/hiking version of the classic Roshe Run model. Nike gives the shoe new updates to help convert the shoe into somewhat of a sneakerboot. Features on the shoe include the simplicity of the upper, the revamped outsole with hexagonal lugs for maximum traction, the mesh extended upper and the added midfoot strap that acts as the sole lacing system on the slip on. Out now, pick up a pair of your own in any of the colors you see above for $85.
We’ve already gotten a few different look at the Nike Air Presto Greedy which takes some of the most popular colorways that have landed on the silhouette and puts them all together into one pair.
Today we bring you official images of the shoe along with a release date. The Nike Air Presto Greedy features a mash-up of colors all throughout the neoprene constructed upper with even the cage panels being done in different hues.
You can expect the Nike Air Presto Greedy to release on Saturday, October 29th. We’re still waiting on a retail price so stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more details.
Our First Look At The Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka SE Black Denim Drops
By SoleInsider
Another version of the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka SE is on the way, and this one happens to rock a sleek looking Black denim upper. Dropping at the end of the month, let’s take a look at the official images of the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka SE Black Denim.
The unorthodox aesthetics of the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka SE has the shoe come ready for the Fall season as it comes with an upper constructed out of a combination consisting of a woven nylon paired up with Black denim placed on the paneling. The dark motif of the upper then rests on top of an off-White Footscape midsole to help give it that unique look we all know and love. Said to be dropping in the states on October 28th, are you adding these to your Fall rotation?
I like the original/unique look of the shoe. I always thought it was a bit pricey, but I’d be down to get a pair if the right colorway comes along. This is not the one. Dope, but not good enough for me to want a pair.
Our First Look At The Nike Air Zoom Talaria Mid Flyknit
By SoleInsider
This one came out of nowhere. The latest Nike model to utilize a Flyknit construction is none other than the Nike Air Zoom Talaria. Adding some heightened aesthetics during the process, take a look at the upcoming Nike Air Zoom Talaria Mid Flyknit.
Said to be a part of the Fall/Winter collection, the Nike Air Zoom Talaria Mid Flyknit comes in three different tonal colorways, it ditches the customary mesh paneling and instead uses the beloved Nike Flyknit construction. Additional features on the shoe include the sock-like collar bootie, a similar design the OG Talaria used on the overlays, a seamless construction, D-ring eyelets and a outsole with some added traction. Said to be dropping in December, let us know what you think about the shoe.
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.
Mark Parker Officially Introduces The Nike Mag 2016
By SoleInsider
For the past two days, everyone, including people who aren’t into shoes have been talking about the Nike Mag 2016. Earlier today, it was confirmed that the highly anticipated self-lacing sneaker would be releasing in limited quantities and they would only be made available via a raffle between October 4 and October 11. Being that only 89 pairs are made, the odds of us getting a pair are slim to none. Since 99.99% of us won’t ever get to own or even see a pair in real life, the next best thing is to see Mark Parker talk about the shoe.
The video above shows Mark Parker the charity behind the Nike Mag 2016 while also talking about how the upcoming Hyperadapt 1.0 is similar to the Nike Mag since they both offer Nike’s innovating self-lacing system. Check out the shoes in action by clicking play in the video above.

The Nike Air Foamposite One Royal Releases In January 2017
By SoleInsider
2017 will be the year of the Foamposite, as Nike Sportswear and Nike Basketball will honor the 20th anniversary of Eric Avar’s iconic design with a number of original Nike Air Foamposite One and Nike Air Foamposite Pro colorways returning to store shelves. Today we get news that the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal will be making its return this coming January 2017 with a remastered attention to detail featuring that hypnotizing Dark Neon Royal upper paired with black accents and that perfect icy outsole combination.
The Nike Air Foamposite One “Royal” first burst onto the scene in 1997 attached to the rising star of Penny Hardaway. The Royal colorway matched the Orlando Magic uniforms and wasn’t necessarily a smash hit at the time – many simply weren’t ready for the futuristic aesthetic and original price point. In fact, it took Nike an entire decade to retro the original Foamposite colorways back in 2007. Are you excited about the return of the Foamposite One Royal? Be sure to check out more photos of 2017’s 20th anniversary celebration of the Nike Air Foamposite One Royal and we’ll keep you updated on an exact release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.
An Italian Version Of The Nike Air Max 97 Silver Bullet Is Releasing
By SoleInsider
Of the recognized chapters of the Air Max legacy, the Air Max 97 model, inspired by bullet trains and a running track, remains the most “untouched”. By that, we mean the shoes have yet to undergo an “Ultra” treatment that its predecessors have gone through. The 97 itself hasn’t gotten the Retro treatment in a while either, but we know that’ll change in 2017 for the 20th Anniversary of the bubbly shoe. Before that year-long celebration arrives, it appears that the OG “Silver Bullet” colorway is making a surprising return, but with a twist; it features tongue and heel pull-tabs striped with Italian flag colors, and unsurprisingly, the shoes are only available at select shops in Italy such as Slam Jam Socialism. Preview the shoes just below and stay tuned for the release tomorrow, October 5th.
The “Greedy” colorway of the Nike Air Presto first released this past weekend as an exclusive to Japanese retailer BEAMS (which is where the confusion regarding the collaboration came from). The shoes are most certainly releasing worldwide, and they’ve already begun to appear on Nike.com at select regions around the globe. The Air Presto “Greedy”, which mixes and matches a number of famliiar Presto colorways of the past, is now set to drop on October 29th, the final Saturday of the month. Enjoy a look at the official Nike images ahead and mark these on your sneaker release dates calendar.
Greedy Options Are Coming To The NIKEiD Air Max 95
By SoleInsider
If you were a fan of the mismatched multi-color “Greedy” version of the Nike Air Max 95 from last year, then you may be interested in this new option for the classic sneaker on NIKEiD. The mismatched look is back in part, with the new option to alternate the color of the lace loops on the medial and lateral sides. You can go for two classic options like “Neon” and “Grape”, or come up with a whole new multicolor design all your own. Other current options on the NIKEiD Air Max 95 include reflective, leather, or suede materials for the upper, and of course, a wide variety of color choices throughout the shoe. You can get started on your own pair now at NIKEiD.
What Other Foamposites Should Nike Bring Back After The Dr. Doom
By SoleInsider
2017 will be the year of the Foamposite as Eric Avar’s iconic design will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. The stories behind the head-turning silhouette are as legendary as the model itself. From Scottie Pippen turning down the design for one of his signatures to Penny Hardaway having to hand-color in some tiger stripes with a Sharpie to follow NBA rules a the time, the Nike Air Foamposite One and Nike Air Foamposite Pro each come with plenty of tall tales from its early years. The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Dr. Doom” will kick things off early with a release on November 25th, but what other Foamposite retro colorways do you want to see brought back for the two-decade celebration?
The Foamposite Dr Doom was a part of Nike Sportswear’s “Fantastic Four” Pack, but was an outlier due to its simple Black/White matte colorway in an effort to display the villainous nature of the comic book character. Now slated for a Black Friday release, it’s safe to say that the Foamposite Dr Doom will finally get the shine it deserves after having sat on retail shelves for quite some time when it first released in the early aughts. The cult-classic keeps things simple and traditional with a high-contrast white Swoosh on the side panel to match the outsole and lining. Check out more photos after the break and be sure to let us know which other legendary Foamposte colorways you want to see brought back throughout next year by taking your thoughts to the comments section below.
