Yesterday we previewed over ten upcoming Nike Huarache releases for Spring 2016. The collection focused on three models: the Nike Huarache Ultra, Nike Air Huarache Light, and the ever-classic original Nike Air Huarache. Tinker’s iconic model trended on the tonal side this season, but one of the standouts of the five or so colorways previewed was this women’s exclusive “Pink Blast” colorway. The pair immediately brought memories of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund exclusives thanks to the vibrant pink shade on the overlays, but a few things remain of interest: the Hyper Crimson heel strap seems a bit random and micro-perforations on the overlay add some depth. Check out this women’s exclusive below and we’ll keep you updated once this pair arrives at retailers.

It’s safe to say that the Nike Air Presto Safari that dropped yesterday was one of the best releases of the weekend. When the shoe was initially unveiled many people sort of overlooked it, but as the release date got closer and we were able to see on-feet images of the shoe, many people began to gain interest. While I did not attempt to get a pair, I did hear that it was a bit difficult to get one.

The Safari version of the Nike Air Presto comes in a neoprene upper covered in Nike Safari print placed all over the shoe. The print in nicely contrasted by the contrasting cage construction to complete the Safari theme. Enough about the shoe, you already what it looks like. My question is how many of you managed to get a pair? Are they as clean in person as they are in the images? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I kind of regret not trying to get a pair, but the main reason i chose not to is because the slip-on upper is not kind to my wide foot. I have a Tech Fleece Presto and it’s one of the hardest shoes to put on. That’s why I chose not to try to get a pair.

When legendary skate brand Supreme hooks up with Nike Sportswear for a footwear release, their iconic collaborative process usually comes in three options: white, black, and the ever-sought-after red. We saw it happen most recently with the Nike Air Force 1 High and now this inline Nike Dunk High CMFT is mirroring ‘Preme’s ways with similar color choices. No, this isn’t a Supreme Nike Dunk, but just in case you’re nostalgic for the days when the skate brand brought their signature style to the iconic model, you can get a similar vibe here. The back heel brand is of interest, as each pair features bold white branding with different wordmarks (that of which remain a mystery given the photo limitations here). So perhaps a city pack is looming. Check out more of this Nike Dunk CMFT below and let us know if you’re a fan of this trio by taking your thoughts to our comments section.

The Nike Kobe Mentality 2 recently came out with a brand new Wolf Grey colorway. Today we take a look at yet another readily available offering. Let’s take a look at the official images of the Nike Kobe Mentality 2 Total Crimson.

If you’re not very familiar with the Kobe Mentality 2 it’s a more affordable alternative to the Nike Kobe signature line. The shoe comes in a Flyweave constructed upper that offers great flexible support. Below the shoe you will find herringbone traction on the outsole. The particular colorway comes in a mixture of Total Crimson and Volt colorways. Available now, pick up your very own pair for the retail price of $100. Cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

I keep saying that the Kobe Mentality 2 is a great deal at only $100. Kobe fans should not be sleeping on this model.

Nike Basketball has been busy churning out an awesome slate of memorable colorways for Kobe’s last on-court model before he hangs it up for good at the end of this NBA season. Not only has the Kobe 11 been a major priority, but the Kobe imprint has grown to include even more team shoes, from The Glove-natured qualities of the Nike Zoom Kobe Icon to his updated Mentality series. The Nike Kobe Mentality 2 builds upon the first with a premium Flyweave upper that offers flexible support. A full-length Lunarlon midsole creates a responsive footbed for a comfortable ride. Even a herringbone traction unit gives off a snake-esque vibe. This colorway utilizes a vibrant combination of Total Crimson and Volt to stand out and is a great deal when you consider some of Nike’s premier technology is going into a sneaker well under the expected price of a premium playing model. The latest Nike Kobe Mentality 2 pair is available today straight from Nikestore for $100 USD.

It’s Saturday, so that means a lot of new sneakers released today. Two of those releases happened to be a couple of different colorways of the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit, and they couldn’t be anymore different from each other.

The first colorway comes in an all-white motif in which the upper is constructed out of a white Flyknit and white leather. The second option comes in multicolor fashion as the Flyknit comes in the beloved multicolor offering while being offset by the hits of black placed all over the shoe. Tonal soles accompany both shoes to complete the look of the shoe. Are you a fan of the all-white look, or do you like some color in your life? Either way you can’t go wrong with either. Did you pick up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The multicolor colorway is really clean. I’ve heard good things about the shoe, I need to try on a pair asap!

The Nike Air Classic BW is considered one of the most classic Air Max models that Nike has to offer. Releasing between the Air Max 90 and and Air Max 95, the shoe is often overlooked by the majority of us. Nike looks to change that as they plan on giving the shoe extra attention throughout the year.

Looking to give the shoe a modern upgrade, Nike has decided to cover the upper of the Classic BW in a synthetic snakeskin found in all of the black areas found on the upper. Contrasting the black is the Persian Violet hits placed on the tongue, lining, heel, sole and Nike Swoosh of the shoe. Rounding out the look of the shoe are the white accents placed on the heel, midsole and piping of the shoe. What are your thoughts on this version of the Nike Air Classic BW using the premium snakeskin hits? Like the new modern look or do you prefer the classic construction?

via: Nike

Author’s Take

I prefer this classic model in it’s classic state. The snakeskin upper is cool, but being that the shoe is barely coming back into the spotlight, I think should have waited a little bit before giving the shoe a new look. I would have preferred different colorway instead of a different construction.

Not only did Nike and Kevin Durant unveil the Nike KD 8 Elite this week, it also appears as if the next KD model was also leaked just moments ago. Although we can’t confirm 100% what the name of the shoe is in the image above, there are several rumors stating that it’s the latest installment of the Nike KD Trey 5 series, the Nike KD Trey 5 IV.

Unlike the Nike KD 8 Elite, our first look of the shoe shows it coming in a much lower cut than the KD 8 Elite. The part of the shoe shown gives us a close look at the tongue of the shoe as it features a hand throwing up the thumbs up sign along with the KD letters placed on the wrist. If you also take a closer look at the image you will see that the shoe’s tongue also comes covered in different embossed script that I’m now quite able to read on these images. If you tell what words are, please help a homie out! Check out the images above and let us know what your initial thoughts are on the shoe.

Author’s Take

The thumbs up patch is different, but Im definitely not against it. While I’m unable to read what the words on the tongue say, I think it’s good of the tongue that adds another dimension to the shoe. I’m looking forward to see more images of the shoe.

The Nike Air Force 1 is forever evolving. There’s probably no other Nike shoe that has as many versions as the Air Force 1. One of the reasons the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit is well liked is because the shoe is substantially lighter and more breathable than the original Air Force 1. If you’re a fan of the modern look that the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit consists of, there’s a good chance you’re also going to like the Nike Air Force 1 Low Upstep BR.

This new version of the AF1 comes with an upper that features Nike’s Breathe technology that helps make the shoe much more lighter, breathable and comfortable. All the current colorways set to release come in a tonal offering, with some even donning a striped Nike Swoosh on the side panels for an added dimension. A matching midsole and tonal outsole complete the look of the shoe. No release date on this brand new model but be sure to let us know what you think of this new look of the AF1.

Author’s Take

I’m all for a shoe to be more lighter, comfortable and breathable. I’m looking to see what these look like and feel like once I lace up a pair.

Aside from the amazing games that March Madness will provide, I’m also looking forward to see what the players will be wearing on their feet. We recently got a sneak peak of what the Oklahoma Sooners will be wearing once they begin their journey to the championship game.

The shoes you see above consist of 2 Nike PEs as the Nike Kyrie 2 and the Nike Kobe 11 Elite come in the Oklahoma Sooner’s school colors. The Kyrie 2 comes in a white upper contrasted by the crimson hits found on the Nike Swoosh and sole of the shoe. The Nike Kobe 11 Elite also comes in white and crimson, but it also adds some grey Flyknit add another dimension to the shoe. Odds are you won’t be able to get a pair of these (unless you ply of OSU), but we just wanted to give you some eyecandy on this fine Saturday afternoon.

We may not be able to get a pair, but if you really like them you can try to mimic the look through NikeiD.

The white and multicolor version of the Nike Kobe 11 that we showed you earlier this week has gotten a release date and it’s coming quick.

Believed to possibly the Easter colorway of the Kobe 11, it turns out that Nike is calling this the Nike Kobe 11 Elite 4KB. What does that 4KB stand for? Well at this point we don’t really know but we’re sure that the backstory/theme behind the name will be unveiled by Nike very soon. Looking at the shoe we can see that the upper is dominated by a White Flyknit with multicolor detailing appearing on the side panels. Almost everything else on the shoe has been left white including the outsole, tongue, and inner liner with the exception of some color being added on the heel tabs.

Look for the Nike Kobe 11 Elite 4KB at Nike retailers on March 14th for a retail price of $220.

Author?s Take

Kind of looks like the Kobe 9 ?What The? but in low-top form. I have a feeling not many people will like this colorway because of how plain it is. I know I don?t, especially not for $220.

Yet another new colorway of the Nike Kobe 11 has surfaced today and this just might be the Easter colorway for 2016.

Dressed in a grey and orange Flyknit upper, the only thing that kind of throws you off from this being an Easter release is the skeleton skull that appears on the heel. The white and multicolor pair that we showed you earlier this week would serve as a much better Easter release due to the colors that it uses, but we won’t really know until we hear something official from Nike.

By the way this grey and orange colorway is scheduled to release on March 25th which is two days before Easter so we’ll have to wait and see. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more updates on this and all Kobe 11s.

Author’s Take

That skull on the heel makes this colorway seem like an unlikely candidate for an Easter colorway of the Kobe 11. We’ll have to wait an see I guess. As far as the colorway I think it’s decent but I’m not a huge fan of orange.

After giving you an initial look yesterday, today we present to you official images of the next colorway of the Nike Air Force 1 High OG.

Dressed in premium Summit White leather all throughout the upper, Black accents appear on the suede Swoosh, outsole, ankle strap, and Nike Air branding on the heel tab and tongue. Just like every other remastered OG colorway that has released this pair will come with an extra ankle strap for an alternative look.

Overseas retailers have these releasing on March 5th which means that the stateside release can’t be too far off. What are your thoughts on this Nike Air Force 1 High OG? Is the colorway too plain or is it cool and classic?

via: Nike

Author’s Take

I still can’t understand why people continue to sleep on all of these remastered Air Force 1s to the point where you can get them for almost 50% off. This is a clean and simple colorway but I’m waiting on the burgundy colorway to go on sale.

Nike took the time to officially unveil the Nike LunarEpic Flyknit yesterday and released it in more colorways that we can handle.

The Nike LunarEpic Flyknit comes equipped with a ?revolutionary? mid-height collar design and a brand new tooling system. Flyknit takes care of the upper and Lunarlon technology is found on the sole of the shoe. The shoe is said to offer a ?virtually vanishing fit, fluid feel and superior softness?. Now the silhouette is wasting no time and will already be collaborating with Japanese designer Jun Takahashi to release the Gyakusou x Nike LunarEpic Flyknit.

There will be two colorways as a part of the collaboration that feature Gyakusou branding on the heel strips as well as special branded insoles. Look for both colorways of the Gyakusou x Nike LunarEpic Flyknit along with accompanying apparel on March 10th at NikeLab locations.

Author’s Take

These two colorways don’t really stand out as a “collaboration” in comparison to the other GR pairs that already released. Might as well just pick up a GR colorway for a lower price.

Nike has just taken the liberty to create special iD pairs of a few Air Max silhouettes for some of the biggest Nike athletes around.

Gearing up for Air Max Day which falls on March 26th, Nike has created NIKEiD pairs of various silhouettes for athletes that include Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Skylar Diggins, Victor Cruz, Giovani dos Santos, Rafal Nadal and this pair that you see pictured above that was designed for Roger Federer. Nike dressed up Federer’s Air Max 1 in a Black leather upper with a University Red mudguard that has also been done in leather. A Metallic Gold leather Swoosh, White midsole and clear translucent outsole wrap things up on the pair created for the tennis legend along with “GOAT” written on the heels in gold.

Author’s Take

It’s hard not to like a black and red Air Max 1 and those gold hits just make it even nicer. The only thing I would have changed is the leather upper and made it mesh.
