Following a black/blue colorway, the football-inspired Nike Air Max Mercurial 98 is introduced in a new colorway that’s perfectly suited for the warm months ahead.

Draped in University Red, the defining hue essentially covers its engineered mesh upper, while contrasting reflective silver accents are applied across the component in a wavy design.

Further detailed with matching laces and distinctive branding on the side panels and tongue, the model is finished off with a clean white rubber sole that’s equipped with its signature visible air bubble unit in the heel.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike retailers overseas now, while a stateside release is expected in the coming weeks.

I like the design a lot and I like it even more in this colorway. I’m pretty biased so far and this should receive a lot of attention as well.

This colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2 is the next in line to drop, as the sneaker essentially takes inspiration from the iconic Air Flight Huarache that first debuted back in 1992.

Simply inheriting the very same colors of the classic silhouette, bold purple and blue color-blocking are prominent on the mid-foot strap, tongue, inner lining and rear section, with an exoskeleton design mimicking the intuitive fit of ancient Mayan sandals.

Perfectly offset against a crisp white upper and rubber sole unit, you can find this pair at select Nike stockists on June 7th for a price tag of $120.

I?m a fan of the sneaker in general but I really like it in this execution. The outcome is solid and this pair should garner a lot of attention.

Along with Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith and most of the Cleveland Cavaliers are chasing their first Larry O’Brien trophy. During Game 1 of the NBA 2016 Finals at the Oracle Arena last night — in which they lost to the Warriors, 104 – 89 — Smith was seen wearing this special Nike LeBron 13 Low PE.

Sporting a Cavs-inspired colorway, the basketball sneaker’s defining theme is prominent on the gradient midsole with subtle speckling. Perfectly offset against a dark navy-colored upper, the model is finished off with large white Swooshes across the forefoot and an icy translucent outsole.

This model was only showcased during the first half of Game 1.

I like the silhouette more in this low-cut form. The colorway is pretty solid and hopefully it’ll receive a general release in the future.

During game 1 of the 2016 NBA Finals last night at Oracle Arena, Kyrie Irving wore a special PE variation of his signature Nike Kyrie 2, which is essentially a tribute to the Larry O’Brien trophy.

Punctuated by its metallic gold accents prominent on the distinctive mid-foot strap and midsole, additional golden speckles are also applied on the laces and translucent outsole. All juxtaposed nicely against a navy-colored upper, gold branding on the tongue finishes off the design.

No word on an actual release to the public, but stay tuned for further updates.

I’m a fan of the silhouette in general. I’m biased towards this color combo as well and it looks really solid. Hopefully it’ll get a general release.

Kyrie Irving is strapped in and ready to help the Cleveland Cavailers reach championship glory. Barring any freak injury like what happened a year ago, Kyrie will be a key contributor to his team’s success this series, giving Curry and other defenders fits on the defensive end. For Game 1, Kyrie will be wearing this Finals-specific black/gold colorway of his signature shoe, and while a release hasn’t been confirmed, but you can craft a similar colorway right now on NIKEiD (no gold option on the midsole). Check out additional photos just ahead.

J.R. Smith finds himself in the middle of another epic NBA Finals battle, and his effectiveness from beyond the arc will be a major player in the outcome of the series. He’s been rocking LeBron 13 Lows for most of the season, but Nike blessed him with his own PE colorway of the shoe that makes use of a yellow-to-wine red gradient on the midsole. He laced these up for the first half and has reverted back to the neutral grey pair, for the remainder of the game, but you can expect him to wear this PE on other occasions throughout the series.

In a few weeks we’ll be seeing the debut of the Nike KD 9 as it’s scheduled to arrive at retailers on June 18th. So far it’s believed that the debut colorway will be this Black/White pair that you see above.

Even though KD and the Thunder were eliminated from the playoffs earlier this week, the KD 9 should still get the attention it deserves as it’ll be the first sneaker from the KD line that features a Flyknit upper. Here we have @police_nupe giving us some beautiful on-feet images of the black/white colorway that features a black and white Flyknit upper with additional white detailing on the Nike and KD branding on the heel and ankle.

Are you looking forward to picking up this KD 9? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for updates.

I thought these KD 9s looked decent in al of the pictures that I’ve seen so far, but these new on-feet images makes them look amazing. I can’t wait to see future colorways.

For anyone that loves bright and comfortable sneakers for the Summer then this new colorway of the Nike Air Huarache fits the bill.

Here we take a look at the Nike Air Huarache as it gets covered in Beta Blue, Light Grey and Black. The sneaker is constructed out of a combination of mesh, neoprene and synthetic overlays for that comfortable and lightweight feel. Beta Blue covers the front half of the shoe, including the mesh toebox and synthetic overlays. We then see grey land on the signature neoprene bootie. Lastly we have black covering the heel counter and a white midsole.

Available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers, will you be picking up this Huarache?

Author’s Take

If I had the money to pick up all of the colorways of the Nike Air Huarache that I like then I would definitely add this to my collection. But since I don?t I?ll have to pass on these.

Nike is proud to introduce the latest installment from the Nike Pegasus series, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33. Known as Nike’s longest continuous franchise in the brand?s history, the latest version of the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus will feature a more crisp ride than before. Part of the reason as to why that’s the case is due to the more streamlined look and the use of double Zoom Air compared to previous models.

The shoe is built to last as it’s perfect for people who run casually or competitively. The Pegasus 33 now has a Zoom Air unit on the forefoot that accompanies the on placed on the heel. Other features on the shoe include the highly breathable engineered mesh upper paired up with the updated Dynamic Flywire. An inner sleeve locks your foot in nicely making you feel secure throughout. Available no for men, women and kids, let us know if this will be your next running shoe.

Looks like the shoe is better than ever. If I was an avid runner, I’d definitely try these on for size.

Just yesterday we saw the newest colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 arrive at retailers with the 4KB Red Horse.

Equipped with a University Red and Team Red Flyknit upper, this Kobe 11 is then contrasted with White detailing on the Swoosh, tongue, laces, heel tab, and outsole. One new detail that has been mentioned is that the shoe features distressed white leather on the heel, Swoosh and tongue that is unique to each pair. The leather treatment is symbolic of Kobe?s hard-fought 20-year professional career.

Don’t sleep and head over to your local Nike retailer now to pick up a pair for $220.

Like the colorway and the materials but I’m not a fan of that $220 price. I’ll wait until these get discounted in the future.

The only lifestyle I own by Nike is the Nike Roshe Run. Not really diggin’ their latest designs, this one is no different. Everything begins to look the same after a while.

There’s a new colorway of the Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit on the way and it may become an instant hit as soon as it releases.

Falling in line with most of the colorways that we’ve seen so far, this Air Presto takes the tonal approach and comes dressed in Cool Grey all throughout the Flyknit upper. The branding on the toe and midsole has also been done in Cool Grey while the only touch of contrast comes courtesy of the White midsole/outsole.

Look for this Cool Grey Nike Air Presto Ultra Flyknit to arrive at stateside retailers in the near future. In the meantime leave your thoughts down in the comments below.

Did the world need another Air Yeezy-esque sneaker in tonal colorways? Probably not, but Nike rehashes the trite concept once again with a new model called the Kwazi. Somewhere in between a performance basketball silhouette, Air Yeezy 2, Roshe, and Huarache, the Kwazi isn’t a terrible looking shoe by any means, but many will probably agree that it’s just not anything anybody is still looking for. Are we being a bit hard on the Kwazi? Or do you agree that it’s time for the tonal lifestyle sneakers to cease and desist? Check out a preview of the latest silhouette from Nike Sportswear here, and let us know your take in the comments below.
