The burgeoning favorite Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low receives yet another vibrant iteration this season.

Essentially defined by its revamped upper which features the brand’s iconic intricately knitted composition that offers a lightweight build, breathability and comfort, the component flaunts a mixture of tones such as Blue Lagoon-Voltage Green and Pink Blast to perfectly complement with Black.

Tonal Black is utilized for the Swoosh branding, tongue, laces, inner lining and leather heel tab, while a clean white sole unit in addition to slight translucent portions on the front and rear section of its outsole rounds out the profile.

I?ve never been a fan of any Foamposites but this University Red option isn?t that bad. I just can?t see myself spending more than $200 on a shoe that I ?sort of? like.

Just like the Air Force 1 received the Flyknit Ultra treatment earlier this year, Nike will be doing the same exact thing with the Nike Air Max 1.

The Nike Air Max 1, considered by many the best Air Max silhouette of all, will be stripped down even further and made even lighter thanks to a Flyknit upper and Ultra midsole/outsole. The Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit Ultra does not yet have a release date but up above we can see what the shoe will look like as the new upper will be composed of a combination of Flyknit and textile with Flywire for added support. The outsole will also be modified to make the shoe lighter and more comfortable.

No exact release date is know yet but the Nike Air Max 1 Flyknit Ultra is expected to release some time this Summer. Are you liking the new look?

These are not the best images for me to give a good opinion on the shoe, but I can’t say that I’m too excited about them so far. I I’d like to see better pictures.

Another Nike ACG model is making a return this year as Nike plans on bringing back the Nike Air Lava Dome. What you see above are a plethora of colorways set to drop this upcoming Summer and Fall season. Just like the OG pair, this retro version appears to come true to form. The shoe’s upper comes with a suede base complimented by the suede overlays placed all over the shoe. Hits of leather can be spotted throughout the shoe to give it just the right amount of style and grace. Were you fan of the Nike Air Lava Dome back in the day? If so, which colorway are you looking to pick up? Check out all the pairs set to drop and let us know if you plan on scooping up a pair or two.

Nike has a good thing going on with the use of Vachetta Tan on their sneakers. It seems like every time they utilize the hue on any model it automatically looks and feels better. Up next is the Nike Air Max 90 Woven. Initially previewed back in February along with two other colorways, today we get another look at the Nike Air Max 90 Woven Vachetta Tan.

The woven version of the Air Max 90 comes with an all Vachetta Tan leather upper. Woven construction is placed all around the mudguard region/heel area to give the shoe a look of its own. Embossed/Debossed Nike branding can be found on the side panels, heel tab and tongue of the shoe. Adding some contrast to the shoe is the all-white sole unit seen below. No word yet on when these will arrive stateside, but they have already been spotted in some stores overseas, which means a stateside release is imminent.

Author’s Take

Still on the fence when it comes to how I feel about the model. One thing is for sure though, I love the use of Vachetta Tan, so if I were to pick up any pair, these would be it.

In honor of Mamba Day there has been lots of athletes over the past few days paying tribute to Kobe Bryant by wearing black and gold Nike sneakers, particularly Kobes.

There is a new colorway of the Nike SB Dunk Low Ishod Wair and this one may be the most colorful pair yet.

This SB Dunk Low starts off with a Black suede upper and White accents on the Swoosh branding, midsole, laces, and the Nike branding on the tongue and heel. What catches your eye the most however is the rainbow-like tie-dye print that covers the side panels and the ankle. Finishing things off is a dark grey rubber outsole.

The colorful tie-dye print does catch your attention, but I’m just not a fan of it. I would have preferred just one or two colors on the shoe instead.

The Shadow colorway recently dropped, so did the Royal Blue pair. Now all that’s left is the Bred iteration. Although it’s still not yet available stateside, today we take a look at the official images of the Nike Air Force 1 Low J Pack Bred.

Paying homage to classic Air Jordan 1 colorways, Nike decided to release the Air Force 1 Low J Pack. The Air Force 1 Lows are dressed and color-blocked exactly as the Jordan 1 colorways. This particular pair rocks the Bred motif, where the upper is done in red and black fashion. The Jordan 1 theme extends to the sole as a white midsole and red outsole sit below the base. No word yet on when these will drop, but being that the other two colorways already dropped, it should only be a matter of time.

It’s cool, but if I had a choice I’d just pick up the Air Jordan 1 Low models. If you like the mold of the Air Force 1 Low better, these are for you.
