NikeLab’s latest creation is the NikeLab Air Zoom Chalapuka. Although this is not a new sneaker by any means, it’s still pretty cool to see this classic get modernized on behalf of NikeLab.

First released back in 2001, the NikeLab Air Zoom Chalapuka will feature an upper equipped with a very unique ventilation system placed throughout the base of the shoe. Giving all colorways of the shoe a premium feel are the Vachetta Tan leather hits strategically placed all over the shoe. The shoe is made out of a combination of suede, leather and mesh to help give it it’s unique motif. Coming in four different colorways, stay tuned to find out when these get a release date.

I vaguely remember these coming out 15 years ago. Seeing these in 2016, they don’t look to be like a pair that released 15 years ago. The ventilated upper definitely makes the shoe look interesting. I’d be down to pick up a pair if the price is right.

I like bball shoes in general, but I?m not that much of a fan of this design. I adore it tonal colorways but I?m not really interested in purchasing.

The Nike KD 9 will also be included in the The Academy theme, that honors the Academy tournament, but, unlike the Kobe 11 and LeBron Soldier 10, this variation of the basketball silhouette is a lot more simpler.

While the previous pairs were punctuated with a vibrant pattern, this particular rendition, however, is treated in white for its breathable flyknit construction, while contrasting accents of blue are seen on the eye stays and heel pull tabs, followed by tonal black accents gracing the Swooshes and branding on the tongue.

Finished off with a matching white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole, a release date for this pair has not been announced yet, but, stay tuned for more updates.

I like the silhouette but it should’ve incorporated the same vibrant pattern as the other silhouettes in the line. It’s simple and clean, but too basic.

Team USA has looked quite impressive in their first two exhibition games against Argentina and China as they continue to prepare for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio that begin in a couple of weeks.

I?m not a fan of Foams, but a colorway comes around every so often that catches my attention. This Olympic pair is pretty nice, but I wouldn?t be willing to pay anywhere near $250 for it.
