Here Is Your Reminder That The Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom Still Doesnt Make Sense
By SoleInsider
Word is that the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom is scheduled to return on Black Friday. We at the Kicks On Fire offices consider them one of the greatest Foamposite Pros ever made. It’s hard to argue with black foams with white accents that give the shoe a pop that you probably wouldn’t expect from such a simple color palette. So it’s no surprise that sneakerheads are excited to see these come back after a ten-year hiatus. It’s great for those who loved the original and want a fresh pair to rock again and it’s awesome for those who missed out the first time and will now have a chance to own something that’s probably been on their wishlist for a long time.
Here’s the thing, though. It has one the dumbest, nonsensical nicknames ever. Ever. And that’s saying something.
Marvel
For reasons that nobody can explain beyond, “Hey, it came out the same time as another sneaker pack so let’s lump them in there and no one will know because nobody reads comic books, right?”, the Dr. Doom Foams (ugh…) earned their nickname because they are supposedly related to the Fantastic Four pack that Nike Sportswear put out a decade ago. Unlike the Doom Foams, the FF pack actually make sense with sneakers, color schemes and materials that match up with each member of Marvel’s First Family. The Invisible Woman’s Nike Air Force 1 had a transparent upper, for crying out loud, so you know the Sportswear team was paying attention.
Despite the fact that Victor Von Doom has never worn a black or white costume, he still has a pair of Foams named after him that it somehow snuck through the cracks and is now celebrating it’s tenth anniversary. It’s such a common thing to call them out now that practically every blog post about the shoes mentions the lack of connection but still calls it Doom. Hell, we’re doing it now. I hate my life…
So, once again, here is Dr. Doom, one of the greatest Marvel Super Villains of all time, in comic book and movie form…
And here is the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom. No connection, no logic, no sense whatsoever. Argh, I did it again.
It has been quite some time since we’ve seen a new colorway of the Nike Air Cruz hit retailers (the last pair released in February). But with NFL season kicking off again we will be seeing new colorways be released by the salsa dancing wide receiver.
Seen in two different colorways, both upcoming pairs of the Nike Air Cruz take the tonal route as one comes in all-white and the other in all-black. Both pairs utilize woven detailing by the ankle as well as nubuck/suede on the majority of the upper. A white sole unit and blue insoles as a nod to the New York Giants finish off the look on these upcoming colorway of the Nike Air Cruz.
No release information is available just yet but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.
The Nike Air Cruz had some good success when it released last year so I’m sure people are excited to see more colorways drop. I thought about picking up the Wheat and Wolf Grey pairs but I didn’t. I’m not a fan of either of these pairs.
Nike has added some premium details to the popular Nike SB Stefan Janoski for the Fall of 2016.
From a distance this may seem like an ordinary Janoski, but when you take a closer look you see that the shoe comes with a premium black suede all throughout the upper, an embossed Janoski logo on the tongue, and embroidered Swooshes on the side panels. Finishing off the look is a white rubber midsole.
Expect to see the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Premium HT at select SB retailers this Fall.
Victor Cruz And Nike Are Back With More Colorways This Fall
By SoleInsider
Victor Cruz was back to being his old self this past Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, catching 4 passes for 91 yards in a Giants victory. That’s not the only way that Cruz is back either, as his Nike Air Trainer Cruz is slated to return in two brand new premium colorways this Fall 2016 season.
While his Nike Air Trainer Cruz took the lifestyle world by storm despite the electric wide receiver missing the entirety of last season due to injury, we hope to see more releases throughout the NFL schedule while Cruz is actually on the field. After a hiatus since this past February, two monochromatic colorways in either an off-white Sail or a Black will be headed to retailers in the near future. The model features a woven heel construction and a hidden Giants-like blue shade on the insoles.
There’s no word yet on a release date, but stay tuned for more Nike Air Trainer Cruz updates right here on Sneaker News and catch more photos below.
This Night Maroon Colorway Of The Nike Sock Dart Will Release This Fall
By SoleInsider
We saw a few different colorways of the Nike Sock Dart release this Summer, and the slip-on silhouette will not be slowing down as we get into the Fall.
For the Fall we’ll be seeing the Nike Sock Dart take on a “premium” look as the lightweight runner will be outfitted in a heathered jacquard knitted upper. The pair comes dressed in a Night Maroon color scheme with subtle University Red detailing. Down below we see a white midsole with black speckling to finish off the look.
Look for the Nike Sock Dart SE Premium Night Maroon to release on November 11, 2016 for $130 at select Nike retailers.
This is a really nice colorway, but I’m curious to see how that jacquard knitted upper feels on your foot when you put on the shoe. I look forward to trying on a pair.

I?ve always been a fan of the Lunar Force 1 Duckboot, but I live somewhere where we?re lucky if it rains 7-10 days a year, so I don?t have much use for these.

The Nike Blazer Advanced Gets Rid Of The Laces And Uses A Zipper Instead
By SoleInsider
Last week we gave you the first ever look at the all-new Nike Blazer Advanced which was highlighted by its absence of laces that have been replaced by a zipper towards the medial side of the shoe.
Today we bring you official images of the Nike Blazer Advanced in the black/white colorway. Aside from the new zipper on the upper, we see that this version of the Blazer comes with a full nubuck upper, a tonal Swoosh, and a white rubber sole unit.
Take a look at official images of the Nike Blazer Advanced above and look for this sneaker to release stateside later this Fall.
The Nike Blazer Gets Advanced With New Off-Centered Zipper
By SoleInsider
Ever since its inception in 1972 as one of the first Nike basketball shoes ever, the Blazer hasn’t seen very many drastic updates throughout the years. Indeed, Nike Sportswear has kept the timeless silhouette pretty classic…until now. Introducing the Nike Blazer Advanced, featuring a new laceless design with asymmetrical zipper enclosures that lean towards the inside of the shoe. Along with an all-leather upper, the Blazer Advances also features reflective heel tabs and
a slightly tweaked sole unit with a sleeker look and more modern feel. Debuting in an all-black upper with contrasting white sole, the Blazer Advanced will be hitting select Nike Sportswear retailers later this fall.
Expect Orlando Colorways For The Nike Air Penny 4 Retro
By SoleInsider
Penny Hardaway had plenty of iconic sneaker moments from the rollout of the Nike Air Foamposite to the subsequent Sharpie color blocking to fit into NBA standards. His earlier retros were just as popular, but one silhouette that’s been missing from the retro treatments has been the Nike Air Penny 4. The outlier in the Penny series features a unique ankle strap and lace leather lace cover while visible air helps add an extra bounce in the heel. Today we have some good news for Penny fans everywhere, as the Nike Air Penny 4 will be returning to store shelves in a few Orlando themes in the near future.
While this black Nike Penny 4 is a new take on the Orlando theme, the original White/Black mock up is returning as well with royal blue accents throughout. The black pair even champions a new metallic touch for a unique twist. Which colorway do you prefer? Check out more photos of the upcoming Nike Air Penny 4 retro after the break and stay tuned for a release date announcement in the near future right here on Sneaker News.
Fans of the Nike KD 9 get ready, because next month will be bringing you at least four new colorways of the latest and greatest Kevin Durant signature shoe. The Flyknit-constructed and full-length Zoom Air-cushioned performance basketball sneaker will be arriving in October in the four new looks you can preview here today, including all-black, a grey version reminiscent of the classic “Cool Grey” color scheme, a very “Duke” royal and black, and an intriguing black and dark purple combination with Volt Zoom Air threading. No exact release dates for any of the four new KD 9 colorways are available yet, so stay tuned to Sneaker News for updates.
Clean White And Black Returns For The Nike Kobe 11
By SoleInsider
Nike Basketball is keeping things simple with the latest Nike Kobe 11 EM release, as a pristine White, Cool Grey, and Black combination helps the silhouette stand out atop an icy outsole. While the Kobe 11 will be known as the last Nike model ever worn by the Black Mamba on-court before his retirement, Nike Basketball has managed to keep people interested with a number of recent colorways that pay homage to past releases ranging from the Mambacurial to the 4KB series. This White/Ice aesthetic manages to be more of a team-centric release with the only pop of vibrancy being the four red stitches on the heel.
Underlying Dynamic Flywire helps add support and subtly peeks through the engineered mesh and fuse upper in wolf grey for a slight contrast. The real call to attention here is the hypnotizing icy outsole which pairs quite well with a simple white upper. What do you think of the latest Kobe 11 EM release? Check out more detailed shots below and know that you can grab your pair on September 24th via Nike.com.
Essentially a tribute to the iconic Air Jordan 11 Space Jam, this silhouette simply takes cues from its classic colorway. Black is dominant across its upper and distinctive straps, while contrasting accents of white are implemented on the midsole and Swooses. Finally, an icy translucent outsole finishes off the colorway and respective theme altogether.
An official release date has not been announced yet, but, stay tuned to KicskOnFire for further updates.
Although it’s not officially confirmed, I was wondering what sneaker would be used for the movie. This variation doesn’t look that bad either. The silhouette is still a pass for me though.
As the colder seasons approach, Nike has begun their annual launch of their collection of winter footwear. Duckboots have been a popular trend of Nike over the past few years and this year should be no different. The latest addition is the Nike Lunar Force 1 Duckboot in “Team Red”. Similar to last year’s release, the duckboots resemble the look of Nike Air Force 1 but are equipped with more premium materials to increase durability. Featuring a red leather upper while sitting atop of Nike’s signature Lunar midsole for increased versatility and a sturdy gum outsole, these duckboots were made to withstand the roughest of conditions. You can get your pair now at various retailers such as Oneness at a price of $165.
