Ken Griffey Jr., already regarded as one of the most celebrated sluggers in the history of baseball, will reach the pinnacle of personal success as he will officially be inducted into baseball’s Hall Of Fame later this month. Nike has been releasing iotas of nostalgia in the form of his Air Griffey Max 1 in classic and bold new colorways, but today’s new development is a bit of a mix of both as the crisp and clean all-white look finally lands on the Nike Air Griffey Max 1. This super-crisp pair of Griffey Retros is beginning to release at Nike retailers now, but there’s likely a firm release date for these in regards to a Nike.com or Nike SNKRS release. Full photos are just below.

The post The “Triple White” Look Hits The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 appeared first on Sneaker News.

Aside from the standout glory pack, the classic Nike Air Force 1 High has been updated once again this summer.

Rendered in two timeless colorways of white and black, the classic basketball sneaker features a perforated leather upper for sufficient ventilation throughout. Further defined with its distinctive ankle strap that offers additional lockdown support, the models’ simplistic theme is punctuated by a basketball logo on the heel tab, in addition to 1992 imprinted on its insoles.

While the actual theme has not been officially revealed yet, although, it may refer to an event that occurred that year, the sneakers are topped off with crisp, white full-length rubber sole units.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for its availability stateside.

You can’t go wrong with classic silhouettes. I’m not really into the high-top, but, these offerings are pretty solid.

In addition to the Air Jordan 14, the Oregon Ducks continue to receive player exclusive variations of popular silhouette, this time featuring the Nike HyperChase.

Essentially dressed in the university’s signature colors of green and yellow across its entirety, the basketball sneaker’s aesthetic is also punctuated with a tree landscape printed on the upper as a tribute to the Ducks’ court at the multi-purpose Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene.

It’s still undetermined if these pairs will be offered to the public, but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

The silhouette itself is alright, but, that colorway is too bright for my taste. It’s appealing through and the print looks nice.

The durable and versatile Nike Metcon 2 training is set to receive a classic colorway which is inspired by the Air Jordan 1.

This time donning the original “Royal” finish, the low-top is essentially dressed in a two-tone combination of blue and black across its abrasion-resistant mesh upper, tongue, inner lining and heel section. The bold theme is supplemented atop a complementing white sole unit with sticky rubber in the forefoot that provides excellent traction.

Retailing for $130, you can expect to find this standout pair at select Nike retailers starting July 18th.

I?m a fan of the model?s sleek profile. The inspiration and overall colorway is cool. It?s suitable for all genders too.

Popular soccer boot silhouettes — Nike Magista Obra and the Opus — receive its latest update this season with a new lineage.

Revamped with a new thermoformed Flyknit or Kanga-Lite upper, the silhouettes delivers an enhanced lockdown fit and ultimate control in all conditions. The Obra in particular inherits a more anatomically contoured Dynamic Fit Collar, which essentially conforms to the shape of the ankle bone while leveraging a thicker knit structure for additional coverage.

For a more secure fit, an internal heel counter has been implemented, while a grip sockliner enhances in-boot stability and is part of the boot?s overall traction system. Additionally, the stud configuration of the soleplate has been tweaked through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) — a scientific testing of the optimal pattern per style of play.

Each rendered in a vibrant color scheme of Volt/Total Orange/Pink Blast-Black, you can find both pairs at the Nike Football App on July 24th, while an online release is set for July 26.

Retail price is listed at $230 – $300.

I’ve never bought soccer cleats, but, these offerings are pretty solid. I like the overall style and build. It blends performance and style nicely.

When we first started getting leaked looks of the Nike Air Trainer Cruz (before it even released) one of the first colorways that surfaced was this all-red pair that many were calling the Red October colorway.

For reasons unknown, Nike decided to never officially release this color and instead gave us a handful of others. But did they really scrap it? According to a user on Nike Talk the shoe was recently available for purchase in a full size run at a Marshall’s location in Long Island. To make things even crazier, the sneakers were priced for only $60!!

If you would have spotted these at your local Marshall’s, would you have copped or passed?

Remember when CrossFit banned the Nike Metcon and Nike fired back with their own Air Jordan 1 inspired “Banned” edition of the shoe? (If not, read about it here.) Well it looks like the Metcon 2 is also receiving a colorway borrowed from an OG Air Jordan 1 look, which as you can see here, is the the iconic “Royal” color combination in blue and black. If you’ve always wanted a pair of Royals for the gym, now you’re all set. You can find the Nike Metcon 2 “Royal” soon at select Nike Training suppliers.

The post The Nike Metcon 2 Also Gets an Air Jordan 1 Inspired Colorway appeared first on Sneaker News.

About a year ago Nike released a special Nike Metcon, their first CrossFit trainer, that took inspiration from one of the most iconic sneakers of all-time, the Air Jordan 1 Bred. The shoe featured a black upper with strategic hits of Varsity Red throughout.

A year later we get our first look at a new colorway of the Nike Metcon 2 that takes inspiration from another iconic Air Jordan 1, this time the Royal 1. As you can see in the image above the Metcon 2 is dressed in a black/royal color scheme reminiscent of the Air Jordan 1. There’s rumors that this colorway will be releasing on July 18th, but nothing has been confirmed just yet.

Author’s Take

I don’t do CrossFit so I wouldn’t really wear these shoes. If I did I would definitely have picked these up and the Breds though.

Over the weekend we saw the release of the latest Nike KD 9 which has been dubbed the Mic Drop colorway.

This simple colorway of the KD 9 features a black and white Flyknit upper along with additional white accents on the branding. A black midsole and Air Zoom unit keeps things tonal. It’s being said that this colorway takes inspiration from the color of Kevin Durant’s audio equipment in his home studio. Not sure how “cool” or significant the story behind the colorway is, but it is versatile and very easy to wear. You can scoop up the Nike KD 9 Mic Drop at select Nike retailers now for $150.

Most of the time when NikeLab jumps on a project they like to take classic or brand new silhouettes from the Swoosh and give them a simple, clean and classic look. One of their favorite things to do is create tonal colorways like the multiple colorways of the Air Force 1 Mid and Low that released earlier this year.

Later this week we’ll be seeing NikeLab’s newest release as they take the Nike Dunk Low and create the premium NikeLab Dunk Low Lux. This shoe features a tonal premium black leather upper with a contrasting white midsole and black outsole. Nothing too complex, just a classic silhouette in a monochromatic colorway.

You can look for the NikeLabDunk Low Lux to release on July 14, 2016. Will you cop or drop?

Author’s Take

Maybe if this were a Dunk High I would have liked it, but even then the colorway is just too plan for my liking. Not a fan.

The Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Low was one of the highlights of Nike Running’s “Unlimited Collection” thanks to a vibrant splash of Volt and Fuchsia Flash speckled Flyknit. The LunarEpic Flyknit stands as Nike’s premier runner of the moment thanks to the innovative laser-siped Lunarlon sole unit that brings both cushion and flexibility to the table while that patented lightweight woven upper brings unlimited possibilities in the colorway department. Today we get a preview of two new Multi-Color looks, each featuring an array of rainbow shades – one based in yellow and red, and the other on the colder end of the color spectrum thanks to blue and purple shades. Check out more detailed shots below and for more of the Nike LunareEpic Flyknit Low, check out our recent visit to the USA Track & Field Trials at Historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon here.

If Nike continues to release new colorways of the Nike Air Huarache it must mean that lots of people are still buying them, right? I’m a huge fan because of how easy and comfortable they are to wear so it’s always cool to see new releases.

One of the newest pairs that is making its way to retailers right now is the pair we see above which comes draped in a light grey hairy suede all throughout the upper. The Huarache’s signature neoprene inner sock/bootie is also done in the same color to keep things tonal. You can find this Air Huarache at select Nike retailers now for $120 since it’s considered a PRM colorway.

Author’s Take

I?m a fan of Huaraches but not in suede and not in a colorway this light. These would crease and get dirty so quick. Bad idea if you like clean shoes.

Also releasing this weekend along the blue colorway is this red Nike Free Train Instinct Hart.

Just like the red pair, this colorway takes inspiration from Kevin Hart’s children, this time his son. Red was used because of the passion and fiery nature of Hart’s son, Hendrix. The Free Train Instinct features a warp knit upper that keeps you comfortably locked in during lateral movements. Other details include a Nike Free midsole and 23 reflective quotes from Kevin Hart such as ?Success Is A Mindset? and ?Find Your Inner Athlete.?

Set to release on July 16, 2016 via Nike SNKRS, do you plan on copping for $140.

Author’s Take

It’s a toss up between this red and the black colorways if you were to ask me which one if my favorite. I like the hits of gold that have been added on this pair.

The Nike Air Trainer Cruz was a welcomed surprise to Nike Sportswear’s lineup, as it flawlessly blended lifestyle Yeezy-like influences with the nostalgia of Nike’s legendary training series from the early-90s. Of the colorways that released, Nike decided to hold back on a “Red October” look, thinking it would be better to hop trends and pay homage to other aspects of Vic’s on and off the field style. But now sample pairs are ending up in sales bins in surprising fashion, as NikeTalk user UrbanMiracle found a pair at a Long Island Marshall’s for only $60 this past weekend. A full-size run from 6-12 were stacked up and waiting to be purchased. Resellers and fans alike probably grabbed the remaining stock, but that means you can find a pair on eBay today.

The post The “Red October” Nike Air Trainer Cruz Appeared At A Marshall’s Store appeared first on Sneaker News.

Exactly one month ago we saw the release of comedian Kevin Hart’s signature sneaker with the Nike Free Train Instinct “Hustle Hart” in the all-black colorway. Next up for the international superstar are two colorways that are inspired by his two children.

Presented above is the blue colorway that is inspired by the calm and thoughtful demeanor of Hart’s daughter, Heaven. The Free Train Instinct features a warp knit upper that keeps you comfortably locked in during lateral movements. Other details include a Nike Free midsole and 23 reflective quotes from Kevin Hart such as “Success Is A Mindset” and “Find Your Inner Athlete.”

This blue Nike Free Train Instinct will be releasing via Nike SNKRS on July 16, 2016 for a retail price of $140.

Author’s Take

The Nike Free Train Instinct reminds me a lot of the Nike Lunar Flyknit Chukka which I’m a big fan of. I liked the debut black colorway but I’m just not a big fan of this shade of blue. If it would have been more like a navy or a royal then I would have liked it.
