Kevin Durant‘s latest signature shoe with Nike is about to drop in a sleek new colorway over a premium woven upper. Featuring a Black/Metallic Gold-Laser Crimson theme, the new KD 8 EXT is constructed with a fully woven upper in solid black, matching black laces, metallic gold accents as seen on the “kd” initials on the tongue, a crimson red midsole stripe, and a gum rubber outsole with Zoom Air technology. The OKC Thunder star’s signature is etched in red on the insole. Keep an eye out for these KD 8 EXTs to be released sometime this month.
New Balance reworks the brand’s classic 696 silhouette with an extended upper and winterized construction. The monochromatic black body features suede and mesh segments, while the upper is topped with a thick collar. New Balance’s preference for reflective material is welcomed here, as the 3M detailing around the N branding adds an eye-catching accent to the dark upper of the shoe. The beige REVlite midsole rounds off the look, adding a classic spin to the new offering. The New Balance 696 Boot is available now at select U.S. retailers, including Premier.
Nike gears up for deep winter with the formidable Air Max 90 Sneakerboot, made even more imposing by this new black-on-black colorway.

Tonal black laces and a see-through Visible Air sole unit complete the sneakerboot’s murderous look. The Nike Air Max 90 Sneakerboot Winter Black/Black is now available online from 43einhalb for €160 EUR (approximately $180 USD).
Nike revamps the Air Max 90 Sneakerboot — which first appeared in 2013 — with the Air Max 90 Mid Winter, unveiling the model in a slick tonal black colorway for the cold season. This durable and lightweight silhouette features a black tape seam leather and synthetic upper, and an inner bootie which allows for a snug fit. A Max Air unit at the heel provides cushioning, while a black PU midsole and a matching pyramid-embossed rubber outsole for great traction and an athletic finish. Matching black laces complete the look.
