With a gym red variation on the way, the new Nike Air Max 95 Ultra SE is also offered in a stealthy makeup of black/grey this season.

Essentially a modernized take of the iconic runner, the model retains its iconic design language intact, but instead, it incorporates a mixture of mesh and foam to create a seamless upper. Promoting a sleeker and lightweight build altogether, the model also inherits an exposed flywire system that evokes a deconstructed vibe.

All adhered atop a tonal black sole unit with the signature air bubble inserts throughout, you can find this pair at select Nike retailers worldwide now.

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.

Sergio Lozano’s ode to the anatomy of the human foot came in the form of the iconic Nike Air Max 95, a silhouette that’s seen its fair share of modern updates and retro treatments in the last year alone. The latest renditiion is this Nike Air Max 95 Ultra SE, a pair that accentuates the retro side panel waves with added Dynamic Flywire cables, 3M reflective heel panels and an Ultra Moire inspired outsole.

Nike Sportswear is releasing a plethora of Ultra SE renditions of some of their most iconic retro running models this weekend, but these two are slated to arrive later in August. A tonal blue features shades of Navy and Royal while a vibrant red pairs well with a black outsole.

The recently released Nike Kobe 11 Quai 54 edition was an overseas exclusive, but, there was another variation of the silhouette that was only given to the friends and family of Kobe Bryant.

Unlike the original model’s traditional black and white colorway, this particular flaunts an understated palette with a combination of grey and cream hues across its entire makeup. Luxe detailing is evident with metallic gold hits gracing the tongue, toe and heel, while distinctive branding that correlates with the event is subtly seen on the rear as well.

According to Retroshop_Paris, this pair is extremely limited to 54 pairs only.

I like the original pair, but, I like this muted edition even more. I’m biased towards the palette and it’s just a more stylish rendition.

Nike wasn’t messing around with their visible air when they introduced the Nike Air Classic BW in the early 90s. The BW stood for ‘Big Window’ because of just how much Air Max was utilized in the cushion system. This year, we’ve seen a number of different toolings update the retro with more modern amenities from fuse to a seamless ‘Ultra’ construction with a lighter outsole unit. Today we get a look at this weekend’s upcoming Nike Air Max BW SE that utilizes the original “Persian Violet” colorway with a near seamless construction and lightweight tape mudguard for added protection from the elements. Available this Friday at select retailers, the update adds more ventilation throughout the black upper for a breezy ride perfect for the rest of summer. Continue onward for a full look at the latest Nike retro transformed by modern amenities and be sure to check out our full release dates page for the latest and greatest sneakers headed to retailers in the near future.

I like the gold accents and the gum outsole, but that upper is just a little too light for my liking. These would be tough to keep clean.

While Kobe Bryant was making his rounds in Europe last week he was spotted wearing a brand new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 that is expected to release next month.

Known as the Nike Kobe 11 Summer Pack, this colorway of Kobe’s latest signature shoe features a White mesh upper with Washed Teal accents on the Swoosh branding and the inner liner. Bright Crimson can then be seen on the eyelets and the branding on the tongue. Capping things off is a gum outsole.

Look for the Kobe 11 Summer Pack to release on August 31, 2016 for $160. Will you cop or drop?

Author’s Take

Pretty clean and subtle colorway for the Summer. However, I think the shoe would have looked even better with a Flyknit upper. That gum outsole is a real nice touch too.

No, it’s not the Nike LeBron 14. What you see above is a brand new Nike LeBron model that will go by the name of the Nike LeBron Zoom Witness. This is set to be the latest sneaker model set to be a part of the Nike LeBron line.

This first look of the shoe shows that this is a simplified sneaker, in other words, it doesn’t appear to use many of the tech we’re used to seeing on the LeBron signature sneakers. The most notable feature is how the rear portion of the White midsole expands all the way to the ankle region of the shoe. The provided image makes it hard to tell what material is used to construct the shoe, but keep it locked as more info on the shoe is sure to release in the near future? Initial thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

My initial thoughts is that I don’t really like it. The midsole build /Nike Swoosh placement kind of reminds me of a Kyrie 2 knockoff, haha.

After creating his own Nike Air Rift and Air Max 90, Brazilian designer Pedro Lourenco is now teaming up with NikeLab once again for one of the most unique versions of the Roshe yet. The modern classic casual silhouette has seen no shortage of makeovers since its debut in 2013, but this is definitely one of the most intriguing yet thanks to the juxtaposition of white patent leather for the quarter panels with heat sensitive material that changes from black to white across the rest of the upper. Unfortunately for the guys, this Roshe will be sold in women’s sizing only. For all those that can fit a pair, the Pedro Lourenco x NikeLab Roshe NM is available beginning today at select global retailers.

Multicolor kicks are not a brand new concept. We’ve been seeing sneakers that look like something out of a fever dream since the 90s, but they always felt like they were ahead of their time. It wasn’t until Nike introduced the concept in the Flyknit Racer where everything changed. Using patterns and colors that were simply not possible (or just wouldn’t look good) on a regular leather or sythentics-based shoe, the Flyknit material allowed for each shoe to look wholly unique; no two pairs were exactly alike. The 2013 debut iteration of the Multicolor Nike Flyknit Racer was an instant classic and has spawned a pair of sequels since that sneakerheads have thirsted over.

Meanwhile, over at the three stripes, adidas has only recently started to break out of their monochromatic shell when it comes to Ultra Boost colorways. Not that they’ve had a reason to go multicolor, however, because everybody loves the utilitarian look of Ultra Boosts and the versatility of their colorways. But for those who see Primeknit as counter programming to Nike’s Flyknit, we knew then adidas pulled that ace out of their sleeve it would be huge. But they’ve been very conservative in breaking out the Multicolor look, not completely engulfing the shoe in a total kaleidoscopic mess, but rather in bunches.

Two brands. Two totally different approaches to one very popular style. So who takes the crown? Let’s find out in this Multicolor edition of Clash of the Kicks.

Kobe Bryant’s recent trip to Europe reflects the premium taste that the Black Mamba has. Above the basketball clinics he led at The Palalido, a famous sports hall in the city of Milan, Kobe visited the Ferrari HQ, the original office of brand creator Enzo, and hit the track with the supercar himself. To commemorate this awesome trip to the country he once called home, Nike is dropping a Kobe 11 inspired by the Italian flag. You’ll see hints of green and red atop a white upper, with a solid gum sole adding to that lifestyle effect. Get another on-foot shot ahead and expect these on August 31st.

In addition to the classic neon pair, the new Nike Air Max 95 Ultra SE will be introduced in another popular colorway this season, consisting of gym red/black.

Unlike the runner’s traditional leather/suede makeup, this particular iteration is composed of foam and mesh across its seamless upper to promote a more lightweight and comfortable profile. the sneaker is also punctured with perforations along its eye stays to enable sufficient ventilation as well. Additionally, an exposed flywire system in contrasting black evokes a deconstructed vibe for more modern appeal.

Finished off with a full-length black sole unit, you can find this standout pair at select Nike retailers starting August 8th.
