LeBron made good on his promise to give Cleveland the championship the city so desperately sought. It took 7 games, a historic comeback from a 3-1 deficit, and a Kyrie Irving three to seal the deal, but it actually happened. SCP Auctions is taking us back to the earlier years of LeBron’s career with their latest relic, Game-Worn LeBron Shoes from The King’s rookie season. This Nike Air Zoom Generation pair features that iconic white and black colorway from LeBron’s first game against the Sacramento Kings (although it isn’t specified which outing this particular game used offering is from).

The Nike Zoom Generation was famously inspired by LeBron’s H2 Hummer that he drove in high school – not without controversy. It was rumored that his mother, Gloria James, took out a loan based on Lebron’s future earning potential to gift him the vehicle. Here the interior tag showcases a 15.5 size with a “SP04” label to verify that these are official player-issed Game-Worn LeBron Shoes. There’s even markings from sweat from in-game use and wear on the heel. Bid on these Zoom Generations today from SCP Auctions, just be prepared to shell out some serious cash for the pair. Starting bid is $5000 USD.

The Nike Blazer has been a wardrobe staple since it was first introduced all the way back in 1972. We’ve since seen the silhouette grow up from being a performance basketball model to transitioning over to the skate world much like the Nike Dunk did. Now NikeLab is upping the Blazer Low‘s street credentials with a premium all leather upper perfect for any occasion.

The NikeLab standard look returns here, as a monochromatic leather upper build dazzles with a simple Black/White or Light Bone colorway now known as the Nike Blazer Low Studio. Even the tongue tags get a matching textile treatment while a cork insole adds a hidden, premium feature.

The Nike Blazer Low Studio will release in two simple leather colorways this Friday, August 12th at select spots like Foot Patrol for £90.

Coach K and Kevin Durant have reunited this summer for USA Basketball, and the relationship is paying off for both parties. Not only does KD get to play under one of the most legendary coaches of all-time, but Coach K can go back to school with some fresh Kevin Durant PE connections for his squad. Today we get a look at the Nike KD 9 “Duke” for the upcoming collegiate season.

The KD 9 Duke sports a simple black Flyknit upper, white block letter ‘Duke’ branding trademarked on the heel, royal blue accents on the lining and Zoom-laden insole, and an icy bottom. Sure, Kevin was a Longhorn for all of one year where he won the National Player of the Year Award as a freshman, but we’re sure some of that Blue Devil work ethic has rubbed off on him by playing under Mike Krzyzewski the past two Olympics.

Check out more of the KD 9 Duke after the break and stay tuned for the Kyrie 3 Duke that’s sure to follow later this year. Hopefully it looks something like last year’s version.

I?m biased towards this model, especially in a flyknit upper. The colorway is appealing and one of the better options so far this season. It should garner the attention it deserves.

The new Nike Air Huarache Ultra continues to receive more colorways this season, as the latest consists of the popular and iconic gym red/black finish.

While it stays true to its original design ethos, this particular take is updated with modern technology such as perforated foam and mesh throughout its upper, as well as a midsole-outsole combo for enhanced breathability and lightweight comfort.

Further detailed with the distinctive elastic strap and rubber cage on the heel to solidify its signature aesthetic, hits of jade are also found on the tongue, insoles and rear for a complementing contrast.

Topped off with a white sole unit, you can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers nationwide and online now for $120.

Although Kevin Durant was a member of the Texas Longhorns, the Duke Blue Devils has received a special variation of the Nike KD 9 PE for the upcoming season.

Essentially covered in the university’s signature colors — black dominates its flyknit upper, while royal blue accents are prominent on the inner lining, laces and midsole unit. Finally, contrasting white accents adorn the Swoosh and KD logos, as more respective branding is seen on the heel pull tabs.

It’s uncertain if this rendition of the silhouette will be available to the public, but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Lifestyle images of the newly-introduced Nike Air Max 95 Ultra SE in gym red/black are now showcased, as the revamped runner has now arrived at retailers.

Defined by foam and mesh build across its seamless upper to promote a more lightweight and comfortable profile, the silhouette is also punctured with perforations along its eye stays for sufficient ventilation as well. An exposed flywire system in contrasting black evokes a deconstructed vibe, as it all rests atop a full-length black sole unit.

Select Nike retailers overseas have this pair available for purchase now, but, its arrival stateside is expected very soon.

I?ll always be a fan of this model. I really like the exposed lacing system and the build on this pair is solid. This colorway is a crowd pleaser as well.

The Nike Air Flow was as futuristic a release as any when it first dropped back in the late-80s. The neoprene mesh construction was ahead of its time and as relevant as ever once it got the patented Tier Zero retro treatment back in 2012. What many didn’t expect was for Nike Sportswear to revamp the iconically vibrant offering with a modern Lunarlon tooling known as the Nike Lunar Flow. Premium lifestyle renditions even hit retailers featuring a perforated leather upper that fit more in-line with office dress codes than athletic wear.

The added comfort was a hit and flawlessly blended retro sensibilities with the latest Nike running technology. Today we get a look at the latest Lunar Flow Leather edition in the ever-popular “Triple Black” colorway. The simple yet ominous vibe pairs a perforated synthetic leather with tumbled leather overlays to add some quality control for those paying attention. The perforations might add some ventilation but this pair won’t compete in the breathability department when compared to the original. What does stand out though is the Lunarlon cushioning paired with a luxurious leather upper.

Expect this all-black-everything Nike Lunar Flow release to drop in the coming weeks.

For those if you patiently waiting for the Nike SB Dunk Low Road to drop, you won’t have to wait much longer as the “street” inspired SB Dunk Low will be arriving tomorrow. Consider this your release reminder!

The Nike SB Dunk Low Road comes with an upper that looks very similar to the Air Jordan 3 Elephant print. Although that may be the case, Nike SB suggests that the shoe’s pattern is actually a pavement-like graphic that’s placed all over the upper. Additional White can be seen on the tongue, laces, Nike Swoosh, heel tab and midsole. The shoe is completed by utilizing a gum bottom outsole which definitely adds a nice touch to the shoe.

It’s Elephant print to me! Haha. Whatever it is, it’s cool. If these drop in price closer to $60, I’d be down to pick up a pair.

It’s a clean colorway for the Summer and for the Fall season. It’s a bit bold, but the accent colorway tones it down a bit.

The latest Nike Kobe 11 colorway releases tomorrow. Having already gone over the official images, let’s take one last look at the Nike Kobe 11 Elite Master Of Innovation.

This colorway of the Kobe 11 plays homage to all the years the Nike Kobe line innovation.

Author’s Take

It’s a good-looking Kobe 11. A few changes I’d make on the shoe would be to make the embroidery on the heel a contrasting color, while also doing the same thing for the Kobe logo on the tongue.
