FRESH KICKS: NIKES

Another new Nike Special Field Air Force 1 High style is on its way.
Following the unveiling of the recently-revealed, NYC taxi-inspired SF-AF1 Mid “OBJ,” Nike has plans to give the SF-AF1 High the “Sage” treatment. Revolving around military themes, the “Sage” SF-AF1 High has an all-grey leather upper and is outfitted with sturdy ballistic nylon mesh. For this new iteration, the SF-AF1 High silhouette is also given some new functional features: a zipper now runs through the tongue area and its new thick rope laces are capable of enduring the test of time and extensive wear.
You can take a look at the Nike Special Field Air Force 1 High “Sage” above, while consumers will be able to pick up their own pairs on December 7 for $200 USD. Earlier this month, the SF-AF1 High “Rattan Tan” served as the star of a new Notre editorial.

LeBron James‘s first signature sneaker — the Nike Air Zoom Generation – is set to return in another memorable iteration. Following its “First Game” drop and a White/Varsity Crimson colorway, the road edition is slated to release just in time for the holidays.
The model will stay true to its original design but with a black-dominated upper. Varsity Crimson detailing is found throughout the silhouette in areas such as its Swoosh outline, tongue and outsole. Additional details include tumbled leather around the tongue and toebox and LeBron’s crown logo on the tongue.
The Nike Air Zoom Generation “Away” will retail for $175 and is expected to drop on December 28 at select Nike Basketball retailers.


Nike has teased a new boot-like sneaker in the vein of the weather-resistant Nike KMTR. Recalling the tall Nike SF-AF1, the new shoe looks poised to become an inclimate weather staple.
Although the new model appears to be related to the KMTR in terms of colorway, sole and material, several details distinguish this heretofore unseen iteration. Eschewing laces for a Fidlock buckle system, the sneaker prominently features an extended bootie meant to keep legs warm and dry. Also emphasizing the shoe’s versatility, robust outsole ensures grip on slippery terrain. Nike Sportswear branding further differentiates the sneaker.
No release info has been announced for the new shoe, but stay tuned for a possible wintertime release. In the meantime, check out Nike’s Gyakusou gaiter boot for more buckles.

Updating tried-and-true classics seems to be Nike‘s latest MO and its popular Air Max 95 is the most recent model to get a design update. The clunky retro silhouette comes to us in three new tonal colorways with a defining contrast pull-tab that runs from the tongue tab down through the laces.
Offered in tonal white, red and black upper options, the defining accent consists of a red-trimmed white strap with staggered “N” logos in navy and blue. A white sculpted midsole anchors the design, while an embroidered mini Swoosh at the lateral heel and tinted visible Air units (matching the upper) complete the color scheme. Finally, 3M reflective material at the heel counter gives an additional hit of contrast in the dark.
There’s no word yet on the release date of these models, so stay tuned for more information and let us know if you’re a fan of this new Air Max 95 look. For more bold design updates, check out Nike’s bold Air Max 90 “Big Logo” in “Laser Blue.”


After releasing a “Bright Crimson” colorway of the Air Max 90 “Big Logo,” Nike recently dropped a new “Laser Blue” iteration of its exaggerated themed silhouette. Once again drawing from a familiar retro colorway, the new “Laser Blue” Air Max 90 features a no-sew black upper accented by an oversized bright blue logo. While a simple white midsole with visible Air unit and textured black outside finish off the design of the new colorway. Priced at $150 USD, the “Laser Blue” colorway of the Nike Air Max 90 “Big Logo” is available now at retailers like Finishline.




To mark the 35th anniversary of its Air Force 1 sneaker, Nike recently announced a string of collaborations with an array of designers and creatives. Named AF100, the collection features takes on the silhouette from Don C, Kareem “Biggs” Burke, ACRONYM‘s Errolson Hugh, Travis Scott and Virgil Abloh.
Every sneaker in the collection comes in an all-white silhouette, arguably the most iconic colorway of the Air Force 1. Other key details include the zip that adorns ACRONYM’s efforts, as well as the silver Swoosh on Virgil Abloh’s design and the lace detailing from Travis Scott’s take on the sneaker.
All of the sneakers are set to go on display at a special pop-up at HBX’s exhibition space from November 30 until December 6, before being available through a raffle via the web store. In other news from the AF100 collection, BSTN recently created a range of custom-designed vehicles to mark the anniversary.

The Boston Celtics’ newest member, Kyrie Irving has been putting on an amazing showcase since donning the green and white. The All-Star has also played in a few eye-catching colorways of his Nike Kyrie 3 model throughout the season. In a recent victory against the Orlando Magic, Kyrie Irving sported a special “Fear” PE of his third silhouette with the Swoosh. Black coloring dominates the upper as its complemented by Neon Green coloring on the outsole, tongue logo and on its side panels. An additional graphic is implemented on each lateral and medial side to depict a dark forest which plays into “Fear” theme.

Hot on the heels of the leaked images for the next Off-White™ x Nike Air VaporMax drop, the Swoosh brand has created another colorway for one of the year’s hottest silhouettes — the Air VaporMax.
Arriving just in time for winter, the renowned sneaker will be swathed in a “Khaki” and “Anthracite” color scheme, with “Khaki” swarming the top half of the upper and the latter covering the bottom half, along with the Air VaporMax signature bubble sole sitting below. The Nike Air VaporMax “Khaki” will be hitting stores December 1 at select Nike retailers and the company’s own website. The latest iteration will be retailing for $190 USD.
