The 2016 Rio Olympics are less than two days away. Over the past few months we’ve seen an endless amount of sneakers rocking the USA/Olympic themed look. Just because the Olympics are about to be underway doesn’t mean that the releases have to stop. Up next is the patriotic version of the Nike Air Zoom Talaria.

The Nike Air Zoom Talaria USA will be releasing exclusively at KITH. The sneaker will be a part of the Medal Stand Olympic collection. It comes in a White upper accented by the hits of Red and Blue placed throughout. The mesh-constructed shoe gets an additional pop by way of the Metallic Gold Swoosh. Dropping tomorrow at the Nike x KITH Pop-Up Store in New York, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

The White, Red and Blue colorways looks great on the shoe. Not a huge fan of the shoe, but I must admit that is looks great in the makeup.

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Ishod Wair just came out in a brand new colorway. Keeping things fairly simple, the shoe rocks a two-toned look that always manages to look great on the model. Let’s take a closer look.

The hybrid version of the SB Dunk Low comes with a much slimmer tongue, which changes the look of the shoe. The shoe comes constructed out of a leather upper consisting of a White base accented by the Blue suede placed on the overlays. The shoe also comes with a little bit of White patent leather noted on the heel tabs and Nike Swoosh. Thoughts? If you want a pair, you can now pick one up for the retail price of $95.

I actually prefer the slimmer tongue if I’m only using the shoe for casual wear. I just think it makes it easier to wear. As far as the color goes, it’s spot on. Good work.

Heads up! NikeLab is bringing back the Nike Footscape Woven in two brand new colorways. Although there is now release date yet, let’s take a look at the shoe’s official Nike images.

Rocking a “Rainbow” colored theme, both pairs come equipped with colorful woven threading that mimics the colors of the rainbow. The tonal suede construction is broken up by the woven ribbon seams found right down the center of the shoe. Coming in either Light Bone or Black, both pairs sit on top of an off-White Footscape sole. Which pair are you feeling the most? Let us know in the comments below.

I’ve always been intrigued by the uniqueness of this model, but never went ahead and bought a pair. I like the multi-color hits on these pairs, I may just have to get a pair.

Nike is definitely trying to finish in first place when it comes to the offerings of Olympic-inspired sneaker releases for 2016, and this latest set of NIKEiD options is pretty much a victory lap for the brand at this point. The Air Force 1, Air Max 90, and the Air Max 1 which we see here are all hitting NIKEiD in an “Olympic Medal” pack, featuring each model in metallic uppers in gold, silver, and bronze that shine even brighter than the actual medals that will be awarded at the podiums in Rio. The NIKEiD “Olympic Medal” options will be available beginning tomorrow, August 5th just in time for the Opening Ceremonies in Brazil.

Bright tones land on a classic Nike Sportswear silhouette with this new Air Max 1.

While most of the Air Max 1 attention has been focused on the new Ultra Flyknit version that just released, today we take a look at the Air Max 1 No-Sew. Equipped with a one piece breathable mesh upper, this Air Max 1 is covered in Peach Cream throughout the majority of the shoe with Volt landing on the mudguard and Hyper Turquoise on the Swoosh branding and the Nike branding on the tongue. A white sole unit balances things out a but on this tropical colorway of the Air Max 1 that is available now exclusively for the ladies at select retailers for $120.

Fresh colorway for the Spring/Summer. It doesn’t get much brighter than this. Even though these are designed for women, I’m not a fan of the colors.

A new colorway of the Nike LeBron 13 Low has surfaced and it’s one that is more inclined towards the Fall season due to the color selection.

Covered in what Nike is calling Phantom all over the upper which is like a shade of beige/grey, this LeBron 13 Low is then offset by hits of Olive on the midsole, inner liner, and heel. Adding some more color to the shoe is Turf Orange which can be seen on the Swoosh on the medial side of the shoe, tongue and heel pull tabs, heel, midsole, and outsole.

What are your thoughts on this upcoming colorway of the LeBron 13 Low? Check out the official images above and look for them to arrive at select Swoosh retailers in the near future.

I’ve been a fan of a few of the colorways of the LeBron 13 Low that have already released, but I can’t say the same about this pair. I just don’t feel like the colors mesh well together.

Is there a shoe better prepared for the casual and subtle nature of Fall style than the Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka? The unique NSW specialty flawlessly blended Eastern Zen-like influences with a casual suede build, asymmetrical lacing system, and head-turning woven stripe construction. All of that rested atop a bolstered outsole unit with hints of natural motion technology. Now we have some good news: NikeLab is bringing back the Nike Footscape Woven Rainbow in two additional colorways.

The Nike Footscape Woven Rainbow managed to make the pair a bit flashier thanks to multi-color combinations of the woven ribbon seams found splicing the suede silhouette in half. This year’s rendition sees tonal shades perfect for autumn ranging from a black suede upper or a subtle Light Bone option. While the accent colors aren’t as vibrantly rainbow-themed as past incarnations, darker hues of navy, maroon, and olive all add to the woven build with relative ease.

What do you think of the upcoming Nike Footscape Woven Rainbow colorways? Check out more detailed photos below and stay tuned for a release date right here on Sneaker News.

It’s crazy to think that most kids today won’t remember Kobe Bryant’s on-court genius, but Nike Basketball is appealing to the next generation with this upcoming Kobe 11 release. The kids-exclusive Kobe 11 Green Snake returns to the Black Mamba’s roots with an aggressive Lucid Green snake-themed graphic upper.

This Nike Kobe 11 release showcases that the silhouette doesn’t need Flyknit to stand out. The jagged pattern mixes in multiple shades of green with black and metallic silver for a head-turning look. We’re jealous that this pair will only be available in a grade school size run. The leather heel construction even features a synthetic snakeskin textile complete with a menacing snake logo in silver.

The Kobe 11 Green Snake will arrive at retailers on August 8th for $135 USD.

LeBron‘s candid interview with Sports Illustrated‘s Lee Jenkins revealed that The King believes at this point in his career he’s chasing a certain ghost that played in Chicago. And while LeBron has a summer to relax and reflect on his latest accomplishments, his Nike Basketball signature series is hard at work. Take this LeBron 13 Low as a prime example.

While we’re still waiting on release info and a first look at the LeBron 14, the Swoosh is still finding ways to rejuvenate the current roster of Lebron silhouettes. This militaristic combination of Neutral Olive and Turf Orange accents works perfectly on a neutral Phantom white mesh base. The real attention grabber though, is the leather Swoosh branding on the toecap and medial side. Instead of the usual tape and fuse construction, premium leather accents bring a perfect lifestyle touch to this offseason LBJ pair. Think Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design KD 6 Elite from a few years back.

What do you think of the latest LeBron release? Expect this LeBron 13 Low to arrive at retailers later this month.

Even after Bryant’s retirement, more variations of the Nike Kobe 11 are expected to be unveiled throughout the season in honor of his illustrious career.

A new colorway has been revealed, which consists of an eccentric graphic pattern in shades of green and black across its entire upper. Somewhat evoking his alter ego, the Black Mamba, the eye-catching theme is complemented with snakeskin textured heel tabs, metallic silver swooshes and a green translucent sole unit that perfectly coordinates with its respective theme.

This particular pair is suggested to be a grade school exclusive only and reportedly arriving at select Nike retailers starting Monday, August 8th.

I’m biased towards this model. I think it’s the best-looking silhouette that’s perfect for on and off the court. The simple design has that solid lifestyle appeal. I’ll pass on this variation though.

The post More Graphic Details On This Next Nike Kobe 11 appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

This Nike Kyrie 2 Parade consists as the next variation to release to the public, as the model is renowned for the pair that Kyrie Irving wore during the Cleveland Cavaliers? championship parade ? their first in over 50 years.

Flaunting a traditional black and white color palette as its primary makeup, the basketball sneaker is defined by a bold floral graphic on the mid-foot strap, which complements the overall design perfectly. Rounded out with a translucent outsole unit, you can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers starting this Saturday, August 6th, for a retail price tag of $120.

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.

With the volt-colored pair having released to kick-off August, the classic Nike Hyperdunk 2008, which was a staple silhouette that Kobe Bryant wore during his early tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers, is now available for purchase in solar red.

Comprised of a sleek flywire-reinforced upper, the basketball sneaker is further reinforced with tonal leather overlays implemented on the toe box, eye stays, heel panel and collar, while the tongue is composed of breathable mesh for sufficient ventilation. Finally, a matching full-length rubber sole unit solidifies its overall profile.

Retailing for a price tag of $150, you can purchase a pair at select Nike retailers nationwide now.

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

Sometimes you just have to showout  for your motherland.

With the 2016 Rio Olympics Opening Ceremony just a few short days away, it’s time for everybody to start representing in the colors of their country of residence and/or origin. With everybody in the US understandably rocking the red, white and blue (and I’ve already started rocking one of my favorite pairs of Team USA kicks), I had to show some love to the Philippines as well, especially since Nike added them to their Unlimited Pride program that allows you to choose from a sizable number of flags and add on your kicks. So for this edition of Fun With NIKEiD, we created some Philippines-based colorways that any Filipino would wear with uh, pride.

Of course, the big difference between a Team USA colorway and a #SoPinoy one is the gold/yellow sun that represents the different regions of the country. We couldn’t use yellow or gold on every pair because they weren’t always available as options, but I feel like the results came out just fine, especially on the Nike KD 9. Hopefully after Kevin Durant wears the KD 9 USA during the Olympics, he will embrace the rich Asian contingent – and it’s many subcultures – that is a huge part of the Bay Area and rock something similar to the #SoPinoy style we’ve got below.

Nike announced today that it will no longer product select performance gear such as clubs, golf bags, and golf balls. Nike, despite having a rich stable of athletes and legends such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, has never been the top dog in the golf business, coming behind golf-specific brands like Callaway and TaylorMade (owned by adidas). Nike’s golf business has been on steady decline since 2013, and this news raises a few questions regarding the athletes that have contracts with the Swoosh. They will likely take a pay-cut now that they are presumably free to pursue endorsement contracts with other brands.Nike brand president Trevor Edwards says that the brand is committed to being the undisputed leader in golf footwear and apparel, so you’ll at least get to wear your Flyknits and Dunks for the green.

Kevin Durant is one of the bonafide leaders for Team USA on both the on-court and off-court fronts. He’s ready to take center stage as the Olympics are just a couple of days from officially starting, and if you’re an avid hoops fan, you will undoubtedly find the newest Warrior in his new signature shoes – the Nike KD 9. Don’t count on him wearing this “Unlimited” colorway, which grasps a hot magenta and neon green color-combo that debuted from the larger collection that also features a variety of performance Nike footwear. Best part is, these are just $150, and they drop tomorrow. Full details below.
