FRESH KICKS: NIKE

Following its exclusive TEDx colorway, Nike’s Air Humara is back with a new iteration for the month of May. The trail-ready sneaker shares a mix of “Elemental Gold,” “Neo Turquoise” and purple throughout the multiple layers found on the upper. Its signature checkerboard pattern returns to the midsole in black and white as a contrast to the colorful upper. As small Swoosh logo is added to the lateral and medial side, in addition to the heel, as the final touch.

Retailing for $140 USD, the Nike Air Humara “Elemental Gold” arrives on May 24 at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike SNKRS.

Earlier this week Nike shared a first look at the KD 11. Today a second colorway has already emerged in black and grey. Kevin Durant‘s favored Zoom Air cushioning makes its way back into the fold as Nike’s REACT foam joins in on the fun, marking the first time it’s been incorporated into KD’s signature line. The Flyknit upper consist of black and dark grey weaving that gives it a charcoal look while branding is kept to a minimum with KD’s logo subtly placed on the heel counter and Nike’s Swoosh logo found on the lateral side of the toebox. The aforementioned sole unit receives a translucent touch to complete the colorway.

This iteration of the Nike KD 11 is expected to arrive on June 18 at select Nike Basketball retailers.

Durant’s KD IV is also set to return next month with a “Battle Tested” drop slated for June 7.

Confirming speculations back in March, Nike‘s ACG Air Revaderchi is indeed returning for 2018, and in a slew of OG and new colorways for our picking. The archive trail runner will be joining fellow ’90s classic, the Air Mowabb, as part of Nike ACG‘s retro Spring/Summer 2018 lineup.

The re-upped Air Revaderchi stays true to its original 1992 look with a multi-textile upper, reinforced heel counter caging (that links to the lace eyelet), a speckled midsole, high traction outsole and a sock-like collar that is most likely upgraded with improved materials.
The Revaderchi is set to return in at least five different colorways ranging from an OG beige/magenta look and a slick all-black version.

The Nike ACG Air Revaderchi is expected to release sometime in June.

Our first look at the Nike Air Max 97 “Pull Tab” — teased in tandem with its Air Max 95 counterpart — came back in March, however, with it now officially hitting shop shelves, we thought it time to take an in-depth look at the retro runner.

Varying shades of blue mix in with clean white along its leather/textile-constructed upper, with subtle splashes of red showing face on the mini Swooshes found throughout. The new rendition makes its mark through the statement “N”-branded pull tab running from the vamp area all the way up the length of the tongue, in addition to the Air Max strip detail found at the heel. Nike’s signature Air-centric midsole and navy-toned outsole help tie the look together. Priced at $170 USD, you can find this Nike Air Max 97 model at such retailers as Notre.
