Baseball season is officially under way! Lots of teams played their first game yesterday, one of those teams happened to be the San Francisco Giants. Looking to show their respect to Kobe Bryant, a few of the Giants players decided to start the season off by wearing Nike Kobe cleats as a way to pay tribute to the Black Mamba.

The picture above shows left fielder Angel Pagan and right fielder Hunter Pence rockin’ a custom pair of Nike Kobe 11 cleats. The colorway has the cleat come in a black and white color scheme making it pretty subtle in appearance, but the fact that they managed to convert a Nike Kobe basketball shoe into a baseball cleat that you can actually play in is what’s most impressive. Do you like this new trend that has baseball players turning hoops shoes into baseball cleats? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

A suede and denim construction seems like a more appropriate combination for fall, but that isn’t stopping Nike Sportswear from releasing the “Suede/Denim” Air Max pack this spring. Including the Air Max 1, Air Max 95 and the model we’re here to preview today, the Air Classic BW, the collection features each classic Air Max runner in a premium mix of suede and denim.

If you’re a fan of denim sneakers, you can pick up your pair of the Suede/Denim pack at select Nike Sportswear retailers soon.

Nike Basketball has spoiled us with Flyknit varieties of the Kobe 11 right off the jump. The last signature model that Kobe will ever wear during an NBA game has seen all sorts of references to the Black Mamba’s illustrious career and now we’re getting one more, just without the woven upper with the introduction of the Nike Kobe 11 EM. The Engineered Mesh variety features a bold ventilation system, a fused mudguard for extra durability and support, and its own history lesson with a subtle Lower Merion High School reference. Kobe’s Philadelphia alma mater is getting their own PE so to speak, only this Cool Grey/Team Red-Wolf Grey combination will be available at major retailers this weekend like few of them in the past. The back heel even features a unique Ace logo while reflective 3M can be found throughout the bottom half of this Kobe offering. The Nike Kobe 11 EM “Lower Merion” will arrive this Saturday, April 9th at select retailers for $160 USD. Check out more official photos below.

Fans of the Nike SB Dunk know all about Geoff McFetridge and the history of his Paper Dunks. Back in 2011, the artist collaborated with Nike SB and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art to create 24 original Dunk pairs comprised completely of original works by the artist. While you most definitely didn’t get your hands on a pair, Nike Skateboarding has commissioned McFetrdige once again for something a bit more accessible: two new Nike SB Stefan Janoski collaborative colorways. The classic canvas Janoski construction returns while a graphic print of human silhouettes floating throughout in either a White/Black or Royal/White option adds a unique twist. Check out more detailed photos below and know that select international shops like Size? have both pairs available today.

The Nike Air Presto has been Nike Sportswear’s retro of choice for the past couple of months, and the early 2000s running model should be the perfect addition to anyone’s rotation this Spring/Summer season. With a breathable form-fitting upper, lightweight yet supportive cage for lockdown support and a variety of awesome colorways, the Presto has managed to captivate an audience larger than it initially did upon its first introduction over 15 years ago. The Nike Air Presto “Triple Black” has already released throughout the United States, but those of you hoping for a worldwide release won’t have to wait much longer. International spots like Solebox will be stocking this pair on Friday, April 8th. More photos below.

Sergio Lozano’s iconic Nike Air Max 95 celebrated its 20th-anniversary last year with such classic installments as the “Neon” bringing some 90s nostalgia complete with original boxing. 2016 has seen the model take a backseat to other NSW offerings, but that doesn’t mean that the Swoosh isn’t finding new ways to keep Air Max fans interested in Lozano’s head-turning creation over two decades after originally arriving at retailers. The latest pair ditches traditional materials en lieu of a premium denim upper, smooth brown leather accents, and an off-white canvas stripe for an aesthetic more ready to fit into the autumn release slate than the current season. The only thing keeping traditions intact are the hidden reflective 3M accents on the tongue and heel. Stay tuned for a release date on this lifestyle-centric Air Max 95 and let us know if you’re a fan of the look by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

There’s going to be a lot of tributes for Kobe Bryant as we inch closer and closer to the finale of his historic career. There’s been the literal – with Jordan Brand giving him his PEs on the way – and the symbolic – players coming up to him to pay homage and ask for his shoes – that all point towards the inevitability of April 13th. With only a few more days to go, Nike has already done their part with the highly sought after Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack that looks back at the (almost) entirety of Kobe’s history with the swoosh, but they haven’t forgotten about his current shoe, the Nike Kobe 11. The Kobe 11 has received numerous new colorways and many more yet to come, but they have also blown out his NIKEiD offerings in a way that we haven’t seen before. Recently, Nike released not one, not two, but three new options for the Kobe 11 in the form of the Satellite, Sunset Fade and Summer Basketball Cities. So take a wild guess what we’re doing in this edition of Fun With NIKEiD….

Sunset Options

Satellite Options

Summer League Options

New Heel Symbol Options

Nike is celebrating the return of the Boston Marathon by introducing the revolutionary new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit in two new exclusive colorways for men and women.

A tonal grey serves as the women’s option with a yellow accent hitting the exclusive Boston Marathon logo on each heel. The men will be treated to a Game Royal option complete with a contrasting Wolf Grey color on the new sock construction and Team Red accents.

We’re sensing a trend here. It appears that Nike is dressing up its contemporary signature models after classic Nike Basketball models from over two decades ago as we get a first look at a Nike LeBron 13 inspired by the legendary Air Command Force. This LeBron 13 features the same color pairings of white, light blue, and that speckled neon green, but the most nostalgic detail is undoubtedly the Nike Air logo placed on the heel. Now that we’re aware of the LeBron 13 “Command Force” as well as the Kyrie 2 “Huarache”, what can we expect from the Kobe 11 and KD 8? Expect these in stores this June 11th.

It’s getting really hard to keep track of all the “Multicolor” versions of the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit, with yet another iteration now hitting the market. It’s another low-top this time, featuring a black-based Flyknit construction with vibrant hues of Blue Lagoon, Voltage Green, and Pink Blast intertwined throughout. As with all other Flyknit Air Force 1’s so far, they’re detailed with black leather for the Swooshes and tongues, while the lighter ‘Ultra’ outsole sits below. Expect this latest Air Force 1 Flyknit Low at select Nike Sportswear retailers on April 22nd.

The NBA regular season is winding down and it’s looking like we we’ll go another year without seeing an “elite” version of Kyrie Irving’s signature sneaker.

What we will be seeing however is this new colorway of the Nike Kyrie 2 that takes some OG inspiration from a retro Nike runner that was designed by Tinker Hatfield. Dubbed the Nike Kyrie 2 Kyrache, this colorway of the Kyrie 2 draws inspiration from the OG Bold Berry colorway of the Nike Air Huarache. The shoe features a classic combination of White, Black, Bold Berry and blue for a clean and classic look. Kyrie Irving has actually already worn them on the court this season as you can see in the picture above.

At the moment there is no exact release date for the Nike Kyrie 2 Kyrache 2 but we’ll be sure to keep you updated here at Kicks On Fire. In the meantime check out the official images above.

Author’s Take

Who would have thought that the Bold Berry colorway would look just as good on a basketball shoe like it does on the Air Huarache? Pretty cool idea and nice execution by Nike.

After seeing the return of the Miami Heat colorway of the Nike Air Penny 2 last month, we’ll now be seeing the return of another OG colorway of Penny Hardaway’s 2nd signature sneaker with Nike.

Scheduled to release this Friday, April 8th is the Varsity Royal colorway of the Nike Air Penny 2. This Penny 2 features Black nubuck on the majority of the upper with Varisty Blue and Metallic Silver detailing throughout. The signature One Cent logo has been placed on the tongue, ankle and heel for that unique touch.

Set to retail for $160, will you be picking up a pair come Friday?

Author’s Take

The more I look at the Nike Air Penny 2 the more I like it. However if I were ever to pick up a pair it wouldn’t be this one. Not really feeling the shade of blue used on this colorway.

Nike Air returned on the Air Jordan 6 last year with the Maroon colorway. That was then followed up by the return of Nike Air on the Air Jordan 4 during All Star Weekend with the White Cement colorway. Next up to receive the OG Nike Air treatment is the Air Jordan 5.

Releasing this Summer will be the OG Black/Metallic Silver colorway of the Air Jordan 5. This Air Jordan 5 features a Black nubuck upper with Metallic Silver detailing on the 3M tongue, and the shark teeth on the midsole. White Nike Air branding on the heel and a Fire Red Jumpman on the tongue finish off the look on this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 5.

Will you be purchasing a pair when they release on July 23rd for $220? Let us know down in the comments below. Don?t forget to visit our Air Jordan 5 OG 90 Black/Metallic Silver launch page for the latest images, videos and other updates.

Author’s Take

I?ve always wanted a pair of Black/Metallic 5s, but if it means having to spend $220 plus tax I may just have to pass. *Sigh*

With the NBA Playoffs less than two weeks away, the Nike LeBron 13 Elite will begin releasing next week so fans of The King can wear the same sneakers that LeBron will also be wearing during the chase for his 3rd NBA Championship.

But before the LeBron 13 goes Elite on us we’ll be seeing at least one more colorway of the original LeBron 13 arrive at retailers. Looking at this new colorway of the LeBron 13 above we can see that it features a gradient effect on the upper that starts off with Wolf Grey at the toe and then shifts to Black on the back half of the sneaker. Bright Crimson then lands on the eyelets and outsole while a graphic Volt and Crimson Swoosh appears by the toe for a bold finishing touch.

It is being reported that this will be a kids exclusive colorway of the LeBron 13 and should be hitting Nike retailers in the near future. Do you wish this colorway would have released in men’s sizes?

Author’s Take

If the Swoosh on the toe would have been solid red this colorway would have looked better. Regardless, this is still a colorway I’m sure many men will be left wanting.
