London’s own Liberty has teamed up with Nike Sportswear a number of times over the past half-decade to bring us updated running silhouettes outfitted with unique floral textiles perfect for any season. This Summer 2016, Liberty and NSW are back at it with three new offerings ranging from the Nike Air Max 1 Ultra, the Nike Tennis Classic Ultra, and the Nike Roshe Cortez, each boasting their own premium finishes. A white base is accented by cartoonish spring floral designs on the Air Max 1, while a translucent volt outsole adds a splash of color to contrast the vachette tan leather tongue and lining. A translucent mudguard overlay and Swoosh adds a unique twist to the iconic runner too. A similar aesthetic can be found on the Tennis Classic, while the Roshe Cortez flips the script with a monochromatic tan upper, perforated branding, and floral lining. The collection will be available via Nike SNKRS on June 25th in a women’s exclusive size run. More photos below.

Kristaps Porzingis was one of the most surprising rookies to come out of the NBA Draft last year. The memes of crying Knicks kid were quickly reversed when the 7-foot Latvian proved he could hoop and then some. Kristaps rocked general release Kobes for much of last year, even coloring in the Swoosh with Sharpie to match his Knicks uniform at times. We doubt he’ll have to do that next season, as a new PE logo has surfaced possibly created by Nike. The interlocking KP6 logo is rather standard, but it could show that the Swoosh is expecting big things from the 6God. Stay tuned for more right here on Sneaker News.

Nike Golf introduces a new silhouette specifically catered for the golf course with this Flyknit Elite.

Developed via research and athlete testing, the model’s defining element consists of an all-new articulated integrated traction that decouples the medial heel and lateral forefoot area to help propel the athlete through the swing, and essentially facilitating better footwork.

Also allowing abetter balance while keeping the golfer lower to the ground, a unique TPU tread design offers continuous traction that replaces traditional spikes without sacrificing grip.

For this particular silhouette, the system is paired with a full-length Lunarlon midsole for responsive cushioning and a lightweight, breathable one-piece knitted upper that offer targeted support in key areas to help keep the foot locked down and stable.

Additionally, dynamic Flywire provides midfoot lockdown, a mid-height collar conforms to the athlete?s foot and a TPU skin for dew protection is applied on the upper?s edge.

You can purchase the model in two colorways — pure platinum/cool grey and black/clear jade — at select Nike retailers on Thursday, June 16.

LeBron needed some extra hype going into Game 5 of the NBA Finals, so he laced up the Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 collaboration during Cavs practice yesterday.

Do you remember the Nike Spiridon running series? We’re still waiting on a retro of the 1996 model for the shoe’s 20th-anniversary celebration as the silhouette was a cult-hit thanks to full-length zoom cushioning, a breathable mesh base, and a number of vibrant colorway options. In the meantime, Nike Sportswear has taken that outsole and transformed in into a lifestyle chukka of sorts with the Nike Zoom Mercurial Flyknit Spiridon . The new model features a sock-like fit with a high-arching ankle support, a leather heel panel, and a Flyknit base outfitted with a forefoot Swoosh inspired by Nike’s soccer boots. The latest colorway takes a simple monochromatic Gym Red approach for a vibrant look. Check out a full view below and let us know what you think of the transformed Spiridon by taking your thoughts to the comments section.
