Last offered in Laser Blue, the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Essential is now presented in Action Red for its latest iteration this season.

Compared to its traditional counterpart, this variation of the iconic runner is defined by a breathable mesh upper with no-sew overlays for a comfortable and lightweight feel. The vivid tone graces its majority, while contrasting black accents adorn the eye stays and notable branding across the quarter panels and heel.

In addition, hits of white are prominently seen on the Swoosh branding, laces, inner lining and full-length sole unit top it all off.

You can find this pair at select Nike retailers worldwide now.

I’ll always be an advocate for this silhouette. I’m a fan of the revamped construction and this colorway is perfect for the warm months ahead.

No matter what LeBron James does from here on out, it won’t be enough for some. Twitter was a savage place on Thursday night as James led the Cleveland to another must-win against the Golden State Warriors, scoring 41 points (again) to along with 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocked shots. Despite those numbers, you still heard the “just not good enough as (insert their favorite player from ’80s or ’90s here)” or “if he was really good, it never should have made it this far” tweets, which made caused more than a few unfollows last night. While I think the Warriors will ultimately win on Sunday thanks to their home court and a Draymond Green that will probably play better, LeBron has done what he needs to do to put the Cavs in a position to win a championship. He’ll be there on Sunday; it’s his teammates “The Land” has to worry about.

As for the night in kicks, James did his thing in a white and gold Nike LeBron Soldier 10 (he should really keep wearing those now), Stephen Curry’s Under Armour Curry Two MVP debut was spoiled and JR Smith rocked a home version of his Nike LeBron 13 Low Finals PE.

I?m a fan of sneaker?s aesthetic. In this colorway, it?s appealing to the masses for sure. I guess I’m biased, but the two-tone finish looks great.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general and it looks solid with the different tooling. In this colorway, it?s pretty nice and stylish. The only downside is keeping it clean.

Earlier today we gave you a look at one of the latest colorways of the Nike Tennis Classic Ultra Flyknit that featured bold hits of Deep Burgundy on the Swoosh, collar heel, laces and tongue.

Now we shift our focus on something a little more monochromatic as this new colorway combines black and white on the breathable Flyknit upper with additional white accents landing on the Swoosh, collar, heel, laces and tongue.

There has been a couple of colorways of the new Nike Tennis Classic Ultra Flyknit that I’ve considered “cop worthy” but this doesn’t make the list. The colors on the upper are just too plain.

Last year we saw Nike take two of their most praised sleek runners, the classic Nike Cortez and the cozy Nike Roshe Run, and they fued them together to create the Nike Roshe Cortez.

The Nike Roshe Cortez combines the cushioning of the Nike Roshe with the iconic lines of the original Nike Cortez to create a brand new silhouette. The silhouette comes with a premium suede upper that delivers durability as well as a flexible natural motion midsole. Two new colorways are available now including the iconic Forrest Gump colorway, which features a combination of blue, varsity red, and white, as well as a simple but clean black and white rendition.

Both colorways can be purchased right now at select Nike retailers.

Author’s Take

I’m definitely a fan of the Nike Roshe Run, but not of the Cortez. I feel that this shoe looks more like a Cortez than it does a Roshe so I’ll pass on them.

Even though I?m not a fan of the Foamposite, I like the combination of a Maroon upper and a gum outsole. Solid job by Nike on these.

The first ever Nike Hyperdunk was released by Nike back in 2008. Eight years later, Nike is bringing the shoe back but this time it’s donning a luxe premium look. Here’s our latest look at the White and Gum colorway of the Nike Hyperdunk Lux .

Considered to be a lifestyle rendition of the basketball shoe, the Nike Hyperdunk Lux will feature a White woven upper, embossed Nike branding on the toe and heel, Dynamic Flywire and the clean patent leather placed on the mudguard. The all-White upper is beautifully contrasted by the Gum bottom outsole to give the shoe some classic flare. No word yet on when Nike will be releasing these, but stay tuned to find out as soon as that info is released.

I understand what Nike is trying to do, but I’d rather get a “true” lifestyle sneaker opposed to this basketball hybrid.

Before the launch of that long-awaited retro release, Nike is releasing a new style of the Nike Mercurial with a re-designed Flyknit upper and the Spiridon sole acting as the base. Nike recently unveiled these with a release date of June 23rd, but it appears that they are available now at select retailers like Sneaker Politics, so check out this detailed look and let us know if these are one of the must-have shoes of the Summer.

The minute I saw this Nike Sock Dart I got pretty excited. The moment that I saw that it was going to be a women’s release, my mood completely changed. Rocking a classic Navy Blue upper and Gum bottom, let’s take a closer look at the shoe.

The Nike Sock Dart starts off with its traditional knit upper done in a Dark Blue colorway. The Dark Blue hue extends on to the midfoot strap, heel tab and lining. Breaking up the tonal look of the shoe are the brass-colored buttons placed on the tongue, as well as the White midsole and classic Gum outsole. The colors used on the shoe definitely make for a classic aesthetic. Available now for $130, don’t sleep on these since I don’t see them sitting on shelves for too long.

If I come across these in a size that fits me, they will definitely be my first Nike Sock Dart pick up. It really is a classic colorway and it looks dope on the shoe.

This weekend we’ll be seeing the release of a new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11.

By now it has finally set in and we have come to terms with Kobe Bryant retiring from the NBA. Well at least some us have. As Kobe walks off into the sunset (says goodbye to the NBA), Nike will be releasing a special colorway of the Kobe 11 to represent Kobe’s career coming to an end. The Nike Kobe 11 Sunset features a gradient upper done in engineered mesh that includes Total Crimson, Hyper Violet, and University Gold which draws inspiration from the Los Angeles skies at dusk. Black accents have then been added on the Swoosh, tongue, laces, inner liner and the translucent outsole.

You’ll be able to find the Kobe 11 Sunset at select Nike retailers on June 18, 2016 for a retail price of $160.

Author?s Take

I?ve seen a few different shoes that are meant to resemble a sunset, but this is probably the best one so far. Dope colorway of the Kobe 11 for the Summer.

Over the last week or so we’ve seen lots of the new Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 ever since LeBron James decided to debut the sneaker during the NBA Finals.

After giving you a closer look at the black/red colorway earlier today, we now take a look at a colorway that matches up perfectly with the upcoming 4th of July holiday. This LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 features a blue mesh upper with red detailing on the two bottoms strap, and the Nike and LeBron branding. Finishing up the patriotic look is white on the upper strap, Swoosh and outsole.

Get a first look above and look for the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 10 USA to release on July 4, 2016.

Author’s Take

The more I see the Zoom Soldier 10 which is odd because I’m usually not the type who like sneakers without laces and this many strap. This USA colorway is pretty clean. I think it should have had more red though.

Where Nike has every other brand beat is in the Retro category. While NMDs and Currys are outselling Nike’s newer offerings, when it comes to the old-school game, Nike’s dominance is clear. Without any sort of marketing push, shoes like the Air More Uptempo can appear in stores and sell out just as quickly as the hyped Ultra Boosts or the Fire Currys, and those who grew up in the 90s still have a ton of disposable income for whatever else Nike is dropping next (the Spiridons and Talarias are a great example). As you already know, the OG Black/White colorway has already released in stores as did the white/red colorway, but soon to come is the clean white/gum version and in the unforgettable “Olympics” pair that Scottie wore during the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Stay tuned for the release of the latter two and let us know if you feel the Air More Uptempo is the best Retro sneaker of 2016.

We recently got an on-feet look at the upcoming Nike Zoom Spiridon, now we get a closer and more detailed look at the upcoming Europe exclusive release. Nike’s decision to bring back the retro runner has many people pretty excited about it, so it’s a shame that the model won’t b dropping in the U.S..

Being retroed for the second time since its inaugural release back in 1997, the first colorway of the shoe will keep it’s OG aesthetic as a Silver, Black and Red color scheme take care of the shoes upper. A White midsole and Black outsole complete the lower half of the shoe. Without a doubt the Metallic Red Swoosh on the side panels is the model’s most notable feature. Set to release tomorrow exclusively in Europe, we will be sure to let you know if these happen to arrive stateside anytime in the near future.

Wasn’t really into shoes 20 years ago and I have no recollection of this model. It’s dope to see the shoe make a comeback, but I have no interest in picking it up, even if it dropped in the U.S.

Previously offered in pure platinum and mint green, the Nike Air Max Tavas is introduced in another colorway for Spring 2016.

Utilizing an understated hue this time, cool grey essentially drapes its smooth suede upper and leather Swoosh across its side panels, while a darker tone is implemented on the perforated heel overlay to round out the monochromatic makeup.

All juxtaposed against a crisp, white midsole unit, subtle accents of black are also applied on the outsole and heel.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers overseas first.

I like the silhouette and in this colorway, it’s a lot more appealing. The model is pretty stylish and versatile altogether.
