Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I’m a fan of the sneaker in general and this colorway is pretty appealing. It’s a nice tribute to the summer games as well, but an Olympic colorway would’ve been nicer in my view.

This Nike Kyrie 2 Parade consists as the next standout variation of the silhouette which will be released to the public.

First seen on Kyrie Irving respectively during the Cleveland Cavaliers? championship parade, the basketball sneaker sports a simple two-tone color scheme of white and black. The main focal point is directed at the signature midfoot strap which bears a bold floral graphic in bold shades of purple, blue, violet, green and orange. Perfectly complementing the palette, additional vibrance is evidenced with volt accents gracing the branded tongue tab, as it all rests atop a translucent outsole unit.

The model has reportedly debuted at select Nike retailers overseas first, but, stay tuned for its availability here stateside.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I like the two-tone palette and how the thematic design is bold, but still subdued. It’s another nice colorway for the line in my view. Plus, the value it holds has a special meaning.

The shoe is build much better than it was back in the 90s. Aesthetically, it’s okay, but not good enough for me to want to buy a pair.

When it comes to breathable shoes, the Nike Air Force 1 High in a leather construction may not be the best choice to rock if you want to stay fresh in the Summer. If you love that look and take no substitution, take a look at the Nike Air Force 1 High Perforated Leather.

This version of the AF1 High comes dressed in a Gym Red premium leather upper. The only difference is that the entire leather base is covered in small perforations, thus giving the shoe exceptional breathability. Said to be a part of the Pivot collection, the shoe comes with unique logo on the heel that every shoe in the collection comes with. White accents found on the sole, tongue tag and branding add some contrast and complete the look of the shoe. Available now, pick up your very own pair for $100.

Author’s Take

I love the AF1 High, but the comfort level is just not there. I have a few pairs, but I’m really selective when it comes to which ones I pick up. These will not be one of them.

The Nike LeBron 13 model will soon be releasing an EXT version of the shoe. For those of you interested in seeing what the shoe is going to look like, here are the first images of the shoe.

The Nike LeBron 13 Elite EXT comes dressed in a Tan leather upper. Adding some depth to the tonal look of the shoe are the perforation hits placed on the tongue and ankle. Additional features on the shoe include the carbon fiber shank and the metal upper eyelets and heel pull-tabs. No word on when the shoes will release, but rumors are surfacing saying that the shoe will be limited to 700 pairs. Thoughts?

Author’s Take

For the most part, EXT models don’t do as good as the regular signature line models. The LeBron 13 didn’t do that great, I don’t see this one getting any play either. Releasing only 700 pairs will make the shoe “exclusive”, which is enough reason for people to want a pair.

The Nike Mayfly was originally created to be a running shoe so light that it would break down after only a few races – 62 miles worth to be exact. The name ‘Mayfly’ was a reference to the short lifespan of the model given how the insect has a notoriously short life cycle as well. Nobody expected Nike Sportswear to do the opposite – bolstering the silhouette with premium woven renditions and touches of suede and leather instead of the usual lightweight Tyvek upper. Today we get a look at five upcoming Nike Mayfly lifestyle renditions perfect for any occasion. The original cracked graphic returns with suede, leather, and nubuck touches in off white, olive, and obsidian. Two other pairs feature a ribbed corduroy-esque two-toned finish in either maroon or obsidian. Which pair are you a fan of? Check out more detailed photos below and stay tuned for a release date later this summer.

Following a sail/metallic gold iteration, the hybrid Air Jordan 2-inspired Nike Air Python is offered in another distinctive finish this season.

Bearing a similar makeup like the aforementioned pair, this particular take is a more fashionable interpretation with its snakeskin pattern rendered in black and gold for an understated, yet shimmering finish. Supplemented atop an Air Force 2 sole unit dipped in White, finishing details include matching black laces and branding adorning the tongue and heel tab.

Retailing for $150, select Nike retailers nationwide have this pair available for purchase now, but look for a wider release in the coming days ahead.

Author’s Take

I don’t think this hybrid is that bad, but, I’m just over that snakeskin upper. It’s not my aesthetic anymore, and this colorway isn’t that appealing to my eyes.

A colorway that has been prevalent in past silhouettes since 2004, the Dunkman theme will be offered on the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 as well this summer.

Comprised of flexible, stretch-lined upper with its distinctive straps on the forefoot and mid-foot dipped in white, the model’s extended ankle support with an additional strap is rendered in grey to complement the clean profile. Pronouncing the understated palette are pops of volt green gracing the outlining of the Swoosh logo on the heel, notable branding on the mid-foot strap and the entire outsole.

Retailing for $140, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike accounts sometime during August 2016. Stay tuned for more updates.

Author’s Take

I like the 9 better, even though James wore this silhouette to win the championship. I?m just not a fan of the higher build and this is too bulky for my taste. This is a really nice colorway though.

Aside from the OG black/red pair, this NikeLab Air Zoom Spiridon in white consists as the silhouette’s latest iteration this summer, which happens to be available at select retailers starting today.

Essentially flaunting the pristine hue across its entire breathable mesh upper, the model is pronounced with metallic silver swooshes and a slightly grey-colored sole unit that’s detailed with subtle speckling.

Retailing for $175, you can purchase this standout variation of the revived classic at select Nike stockists worldwide now.

You can’t go wrong with a classic silhouette. I’m biased towards the style overall and in this colorway, it’s just stylish.

The newly-introduced Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit Spiridon receives a traditional palette of black and white for its latest iteration this summer, as the model is also offered in squadron blue and gym red.

The soccer boot/sneaker hybrid silhouette is essentially defined by its sleek and streamlined knitted upper with an extended sock-like collar that provides a comforting fit. All dipped in black, a tonal leather overlay is applied on the heel for additional reinforcement and premium flair as well. Finally, a crisp white Zoom Air sole unit rounds out the overall composition.

Retailing for $200, select Nike retailers overseas have this pair listed for availability on July 18th, so a stateside release should be imminent.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general and it looks solid with the different tooling. In this colorway, it?s pretty nice, versatile and stylish.

During Rochambeau’s fashion show during New York Fashion Week: Men’s S/S 2017, the classic Nike Chapuka sneaker made its debut once again, which unbeknownst to many, was initially introduced in 2001 but was quickly placed back in the vault.

More than a decade later, the model has been revived with modern tweaks, as the silhouette itself still flaunts contemporary appeal with its cutout style. Comprised of suede with breathable mesh, the fashion-forward sneaker’s unique upper offers maximum breathability and sufficient comfort throughout. All adhered atop a white sole unit, the model is previewed in navy, burnt sienna, sand and black colorways, but more may be expected.

Look for this silhouette to be officially unveiled in the coming weeks ahead. Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

It’s cool to see it come back. Since I’m older, I appreciate these type of styles more. It’s not bad and the colorways are solid.

Originally seen on Scottie Pippen during the 1996 Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain with the Dream Team, this classic Nike Air More Uptempo Olympic will be offered once again, in celebration of the forthcoming 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio and also its 20th anniversary respectively.

Unsurprisingly bearing the same aesthetic and build as its original counterpart, the basketball silhouette is treated in a primary two-tone colorway. Midnight navy and white comprises the sneaker?s overall tones, while subtle pops of red are seen on the tongue to encapsulate the USA theme.

Priced at $160, you can purchase the commemorative pair at select Nike retailers nationwide starting July 20th.

I?ve always liked this model ever since I saw Scottie rock the pair. I?m a fan of that enlarged branding, plus the design is just appealing in my view. It?s nice to see that this colorway will be offered again.

The Nike Air Safari is one of the OGs in the sneaker game as it made its debut way back in 1987. The shoe gets overlooked a lot but Nike hopes to change that with this new premium release.

Officially known as the NikeLab Air Safari Royal, this new version of the classic runner from the Swoosh features a premium leather and suede upper with safari detailing appearing on the ankle, heel and toe. Two colorways are offered at the moment with one coming in Black and the other in Russet (orange). Both have been completed with Vachetta Tan detailing on the inner liner and midsole as well as white sole units.

Both colorways are available now directly from nike.com for a premium price tag of $220.

Author’s Take

Beautiful materials on the upper and the addition of Vachetta Tan is also very nice. That $220 price tag is crazy though. I’m pretty sure these will get marked down quick.

The Nike Air Force 1 High receives a new-yet-classic look this summer with a mixture of a new perforated leather upper with a classic two-toned color block.

A couple of weeks ago we received our first look at new silhouette from Nike that seemed to be collaboration between their Basketball and Sportswear divisions.

Known as the Nike Air Zoom Cabos, this new sneaker is a modified version of Gary Payton’s Nike Zoom Flight The Glove. The shoe features a full mesh upper with bungee cords that extend from one side of shoe to the other. The bungee cords work as a lacing system to provide you with a lock down fit. Pull tabs have been added on the tongue and heel as well as the same sole unit as the Zoom Flight The Glove.

If you’re interested in picking up this Black/White/Reflect Silver colorway you can do so now directly from Nike for $135.

via: Nike

Author’s Take

I like the mesh upper and the use of bungee cords instead of laces. I’m just curious to know how comfortable they are.
