Nike's New Air Icarus Extra Radiates Orange and Purple
After dropping off the Air Icarus Extra in “Iced Jade” and “Light Orewood Brown” back in February, Nike returns with another fresh, vibrant colorway for the summer months. Featuring a “Radiant Orange” and “Voltage Purple” palette, the duo of vibrant colors are presented on a white upper with a mix of leather and mesh. The orange is used on outsole for an accent effect as well as the rear heel for “Nike Air” branding and on the inner tongue liner and tongue branding. A nod to the bright and expressive colors of the ’90s, this pair of Air Icarus Extras are the perfect pair of runners to add to your summer rotation.
You can grab your pair now at retailers like Titolo for $130 USD.

Nike's Latest LeBron 14 Takes Cues From King James' Hometown Gym
With the NBA playoffs right around the corner, Nike and LeBron James are heading back in time, paying homage to King James’ hometown gym with the latest rendition of James’ signature LeBron 14. Aptly dubbed the “Red Brick Road,” the kicks come with a predominately “University Red” upper and sport a speckled white midsole so go along with black accents and an icy blue outsole. Inside the tongue, the kicks sport another nod to James’ roots in the form of a “Just A Kid From Akron” inscription.

Could This Be the adidas UltraBOOST 3.0 "Multicolor" That Finally Drops?
The multicolor palette is a popular choice for sneakerheads in the summer months — with Nike re-releasing the “Multicolor 2.0″ Flyknit just last weekend — and now what appears to be adidas’s multicolor UltraBOOST 3.0 has resurfaced. Instagram user ylt_r3 showed off the pair which features a full multicolor run along the Primeknit upper like the version that surfaced on Christmas last year, but this time the translucent black cage is a solid deep obsidian blue with matching sockliner. Like the previous unreleased sample, this one is also married to a white BOOST sole unit. Could we finally be seeing the release of this pair just in time for summer?
