Upcoming Nike Air Max 1 Releases For Women To Feature Exciting New Graphic Print
By SoleInsider
More graphic prints are arriving on the Nike Air Max 1 in these two women’s exclusives for Spring 2016. The Jacquard woven material hits the numerous updated overlays atop Tinker Hatfield’s 1987 classic with a vague croc-skin print. Bostonians will love the color options too, as a Celtics-like white and green or Patriots/Red Sox navy and red keep things simple and subdued. Stay tuned for a release date in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, check out more photos below.

Nike Unleashes The Perfect Air Force 1 For St. Pattys Day
By SoleInsider
Right around this time every year, many become consumed in the craziness that is March Madness. However, there’s another significant event going on this week and that is St. Patrick’s Day, the traditional holiday typically marked with a lot of green and Irish whiskey. Nike usually has something special lined up for the holiday each year, and this time all the Air Force 1 fans out there are in for a treat- although the surfacing of this green could be a total coincidence. Last we saw of the remastered Air Force 1 High was a clean white/black version, and today Nike swaps out black for a green swoosh sole and strap. We’ve already seen silver, black, blue, and brown grace the silhouette in the same color blocking, so it was only right green arrives in March. While it may not release in time for St. Patrick’s Day in the U.S., this colorway has been popping up at overseas retailers now, so expect it to hit the states in the near future.
Two Tonal Colorways Of The NikeLab Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Just Released
By SoleInsider
This morning we saw the release of a new Black Multicolor option of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit that was designed and released by NikeLab. But that wasn’t the only colorway that hit retailers.
There were two more options that were also designed by NikeLab. Both of them featured tonal uppers with one coming in all-red and the other in all-black. Both pairs were finished off with white sole units to provide a nice contrast. If you’re interested in any of the three pairs then you can head over to nike.com right now and pick up which ever one you prefer. All three pairs retail for $170.
Both of these tonal colorways are decent options and look good because of the contrast between the upper and sole unit. However I prefer the back multicolor pair over both of these.
Nike Expands Flyease Products For Disabled Athletes
By SoleInsider
LeBron James and designer Tobie Hatfield worked together to help disabled athletes through the use of unique zipper backings to help those suffering from limited hand functionality to tie their shoes themselves. What resulted was the creation of FLYEASE, one of our favorite stories from last year that saw Tobie and Nike set the plan in motion to create a strap-backing on the Nike LeBron Soldier 8 at the behest of Matthew Walzer, a young fan suffering from Cerebral Palsy.
Nike is back with a new collection of FLYEASE products for the Spring 2016 season featuring a trio of new models aimed to expand the collection to further benefit disabled athletes for the next year. LeBron’s Soldier series will be the focal point once again with the likes of the Nike Pegasus 32 getting a unique lacing system alongside the upcoming Nike Flex Run. Both kids and adult size runs plan on releasing in the near future.
The Nike LeBron Soldier 9 Flyease is available starting tomorrow, March 15th. The Nike Pegasus 32 Flyease will follow in a release for April 1st. The Nike Flex Run Flyease will be the last of the Flyease trio to release on May 1st. Check out more official photos below and stay tuned for more updates via our release dates page.
Following in the footsteps of the Air Jordan 3 Retro ’88 and the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Maroon, the Air Jordan 4 OG ’89 White Cement will have the coveted “Nike Air” on the heel to go along with the premium remastered treatment. Worn by Michael Jordan during the 1988-89 season, the White Cement colorway is one of the most popular Air Jordans ever made.
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: When it comes to great debate between the Air Jordan 3 and 4, I fall on the side of the Air Jordan 3. While I could not care less if this or any other Air Jordan 4 comes back with “Nike Air” on the heel, I don’t doubt that this might be the biggest release of 2016 that we know of so far. Start saving your money, kids, because while $220 is a lot of money, the resale on these is going to be dumb. Just dumb. Like, really, really, really dumb.
Andres Carrillo, News: The Air Jordan 4 White Cement is probably my favorite sneaker of all-time and I?m fortunate to own the pair that released back in 2012. It?s going to be a tough decision on whether or not I?ll be picking up this new pair with Nike Air on the heel. I?ll probably make my decision at the very last minute.
