The Nike Air Tech Challenge II gets a premium upgrade this spring, featuring lasered paneling on leather and suede construction. Dropping the bold colorways the classic Andre Agassi tennis sneaker is known for, the Tech Challenge II goes for a refined look in a tonal ‘Birch’ upper, with unique laser-cut perforation lines across the toe box and quarter panel. A candidate for the classiest edition of the Tech Challenge II ever, the Laser iteration in “Birch” will be arriving at select Nike Sportswear retailers soon.

In my opinion, the Nike Air Huarache Run is a shoe that you can wear all year long, but to keep it real, it looks and feels best in the Spring/Summer time. The slip-on and mesh construction makes it a fan favorite for the warm seasons. If you need to pick up a new pair, take a look at the recently released Nike Air Huarache Run Midnight Navy.

Coming in an all-Midnight Navy colorway, the shoe’s upper comes constructed out of mesh, neoprene and synthetic leather overlays. The tonal look of the shoe is nicely offset by the all-white midsole seen below. A blue, outsole, blue laces, blue lining and blue heel cage complete the monochromatic aesthetics of the shoe. If you’re looking to pick up a pair, you can now do so at select Nike stockists.

I like the all-Navy look, and it happens to look great on this classic Nike model. Don’t sleep on the colors this Spring/Summer season.

Kobe Bryant’s NBA career might be over and done with, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stop salivating over the wonderful player exclusives he has rocked over the years. Thanks to the versatile Flyknit upper that has been the base of his recent signature kicks, we can expect to see a number of variants to pop up from the ether for now until forever.

One of the best places to find those Mamba exclusives is @realpromotagged and today he delivered once more with a white and black colorway of the Kobe 11 with a yellow swoosh. What makes these even more special is that the swoosh appears to be leather instead of the reflective material found on other Kobes. It’s a similar finish found on the Nike Kobe 11 Black Mamba/Fade To Black so I’m going to call this Nike Kobe 11 PE the Fade To White for now. Because Lord knows I can’t use the nickname promotagged put on his caption. First of all, only Filipinos would get it and even they wouldn’t be able to make sense of it.

New images of the UNDFTD x Nike Dunk Lux is unveiled as the model is set to make its debut nationwide very soon.

Essentially celebrating the iconic silhouette that first debuted in 1985, this commemorative iteration between the LA-based retailer and the Swoosh flaunts a classic palette of white, black and infrared inspired by the original Air Max 90.

?1985? and ?NIKE? branding are prominently displayed on the quarter represent the bold nature of the Swoosh, while a classic hangtag nods to footwear icons from the era.

Author’s Take

I?ll always be a fan of this silhouette, although I don?t really wear it that often anymore. This finish is simple and minimal so I dig it. It would?ve been nice with a White Swoosh as well to pronounce the branding on the side more, but the Infrared touch isn?t bad.

The atmos x Nike Air Max 1 Elephant is set to return next year, as the model won the recent “Vote Back” campaign, which essentially allows fans to vote and bring back one iconic Air Max silhouette from the past 29 years.

During a recent interview with Hypebeast, atmos head designer, Koji shared his thoughts of possibly tweaking the original 2016 design.

Have you considered updating the shoe with new colors or new materials?

As I said, it will be released next year. It would be very interesting if I could change some design or materials for the new Air Max 1 ?Elephant? 2017 ver. I?m not sure it would be approved but I?m curious? (laughs)

Fans can look forward for the release during next year’s Air Max Day.

When initially released in 1995, the Nike Air Max 95 was known for its unique construction inspired by the anatomy of the human foot as well as a number of vibrant colorways that were as shocking as they were head turning. We’re speaking of course of the likes of the Neon 95s, the and the OG Grape vibes, each with their own grey gradient running up and down the side panel waves. But what happens when you take away that standard gradient aesthetic? The Nike Air Max 95 “Chalk Blue” is pristine rendition perfect for the warmer months ahead, as an all-white construction is accented by just the right amount of “Chalk Blue”, a pastel shade that’s subtle enough to match any wardrobe selection. The mesh even blends into the white base for a uniquely sterile rendition of one of the most original visible air donning models. International spots like Titolo are stocking this clean pair today, so catch a glimpse at the pair below and grab your pair right now.

Official images of the forthcoming Nike Flyknit Racer Multicolor 2016 edition are finally revealed, and the renderings are somewhat misleading.

While a few pairs have already arrived at retailers, the most notable difference on this year’s pair consists of a grey-colored tongue, although, these latest images from the Swoosh showcases its original 2013 design with a black version instead.

Perhaps there was a mistake, but essentially the model is set to arrive on at Nike retailers on May 13th for a price tag of $150 with a grey-colored tongue.

Author’s Take

I?m biased towards this silhouette. This colorway is surely one of its most sought after. I don?t mind the slight change to its tongue color.
