Nike will be bringing releasing a handful of patriotic-themed sneakers (new and old) this Summer in celebration of the 2016 Summer Olympics.

First previewed last month, today we get our first official look at the Nike Air More Uptempo in the Olympic colorway. This colorway of Scottie Pippen’s signature shoe features a Midnight Navy upper with “AIR” written in White on the side panels. Additional White accents have been added on the toe, heel, midsole and tongue. Sport Red Nike checks have been added on the tongue and outsole to complete the USA theme. Last but not least we see a gold “8” placed on the heel which was Scottie Pippen’s Olympic jersey number.

Take a look at the official images of the GS pair above and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for a firm release date.

The Nike Air More Uptempo is the definition of a classic. Great job by Nike of making the decision to bring these back.

After letting you know just last week that the Nike LunarEpic Flyknit will be releasing in low-top form for the Summer, those of you that were patiently will have to wait no more.

Two separate colorways of the all-new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Low have began to surface at select retailers. One pair comes in black/white and the other in blue/black/white. The shoe features a lower and more traditional ankle cut along with a Flyknit upper and a Lunarlon midsole for premium comfortability.

Do you plan on picking up a pair to rock this Summer?

I like to low-top version much better than the original ankle-length version. I don’t really like these colorways though so I’ll probably just wait until I see something that I do like.

Kevin Durant’s 9th signature Nike shoe recently released to the public. After a lackluster KD 8 drop, Nike and KD both hope that the KD 9 is better received. The first colorway to release is the Nike KD 9 Pre-Heat. Let’s get a closer look.

The shoe’s most notable features include the Flyknit upper accompanying the bootie construction sitting on top of the full-length visible Zoom Air unit. Below you will find a translucent outsole to complete the look of the shoe. This inaugural colorway comes in an all-Grey motif contrasted by the hits of Pink strategically placed throughout the shoe. Retailing for $150, let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

The Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low USA appears to be a dope looking sneaker to wear during the 4th of July. Only problem is that Nike has yet to release it and they still haven’t provided a release date either. While we patiently wait for these to drop, let’s get a closer look at the upcoming release.

Coming in a bold and vibrant upper, the base of the shoe consists of a Flyknit upper dones in Gym Red and Deep Royal. Th Deep Royal extends to the leather heel tab and the eyestay, tongue and lining. A burst of White is placed on the carved-out sole unit, and the iridescent Nike Swoosh gives the shoe some additional pop. Would you rock these during Independence Day? Stay tuned to find out when these drop stateside.

I like the theme, but do you know what would have looked better? A Flyknit upper that uses all three American flag colors. I’d definitely be all over those.

Any time I see a black and yellow sneaker it immediately captures my attention. I?m not a fan of the Foamposite silhouette but I have to admit that this is a clean colorway. There?s no way I would spend $230 on this shoe though.

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were crowned NBA Champions over the weekend. LeBron James is a big part of Nike, so in essence, Nike should also be winning, right? That’s what Nike’s hoping it translates to as financial experts are predicting a positive impact in Nike stock.

CNBC‘s Jim Cramer is stating that LeBron winning in the NBA Finals, as well as the brand being well represented in the upcoming Olympics in Rio could have a big impact in lifting Nike stock. Cramer states – “This stock has been really beaten down, basketball sneakers have been in the doldrums?maybe this one wakes up.”

As of right now, Nike’s stock was up 2% on Monday, while analysts are expecting the brand to exceed expectations during the quarterly earnings report next week. All this is good news since Nike stock dropped 15% since December. Do you think LeBron will help increase Nike stock in the near future?

NBA Champion and reigning NBA Finals MVP LeBron James has a lot to celebrate. Not only did he finally accomplish what he set out to do by winning a championship for his hometown, a city with a 52-year championship drought, but he did so in historic fashion. Over the 7 games, LeBron led all players in nearly every statistical category en route to a unanimous Finals MVP selection. He did so wearing his brand new Nike LeBron Soldier 10, a shoe that Nike debuted in a surprise effort during Game 3. For the most part, LeBron stuck to wearing rather subdued black on black pairs, but today we’re getting a look at what could be the first general retail release. This classic Bred combination sees a black mesh base bolstered with ventilations throughout while the ankle support and top strap get a vibrant Team Red treatment to match the outline of the heel Swoosh branding. It’s more Miami than Cleveland, but what do you think of the pair? Grab your size today from shops like Jimmy Jazz for $130 USD.

The Nike Sock Dart, much like the Nike Presto, has showcased that much of the technology that went into its early 2000s creation is as relevant as ever today. For the Sock Dart, the breathable upper served as a precursor to Flyknit technology while the outsole added a touch of natural motion even in the pre-Free days. Today we get a look at a lifestyle-inclined women’s exclusive colorway with a deep Night Maroon shade. The pair transforms the usually transparent midfoot strap through a splash of a matching shade and Metallic Gold touches on the strap to match the classic Gum outsole. What results is a Sock Dart perfect for any occasion. Check out more photos below and know that you can grab this pair today from retailers like Oneness for $130 USD.

The iconic Nike Bruin, which as first popularized in the classic cult film ? Back to The Future ? which was worn by Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), is revived once again for summer 2016.

The message on this collection is always a positive and the offerings are always pretty solid. I like the orange AM 2016s the most from the line.

In addition to the men’s offering, the women’s rendition of the Nike Air Max 2016 N7 is now available for purchase at select retailers starting today.

While the aforementioned pair flaunts a more vibrant makeup, this particular iteration, however, is treated in a slightly cleaner look. Sail white consists as its primary tone across the engineered mesh upper, while hits of dark turquoise throughout further pronounce the component.

Additional vibrance is provided by atomic pink accents on the exposed flywire system and triangular motif on the inner lining, as more touches of turquoise are evident on the large Swoosh branding on the forefoot and full-length visible sole unit.

Rounded out with hits of white located on the laces and piping on the midsole, you can purchase this pair at select Nike stockists now for $190.

Previously offered in noble red, the women’s variation of the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra is rendered in a more understated, yet still bold colorway for summer 2016.

This time sporting a blacked-out upper, the stealthy mesh/synthetic and leather component is nicely offset by its revamped sole unit in bright pink. Compared to its traditional build, this particular iteration is much more lightweight and breathable.

Embossed accents are also placed on the Swoosh across its side panels, eye stays and heel badge for additional flair.

You can find this model at select Nike retailers overseas first.
