A new edition to the Air Jordan 5 Retro family has just recently surfaced in the sneaker blogosphere. Dubbed “International Flight,” the colorway was inspired by a 1990 offseason game Michael Jordan played in Barcelona, where he allegedly wore a pair of “Fire Red” Jordan 5s.
An ode to the Spanish city’s street art landscape, the shoe dons a sail leather upper, black midsole, orange and royal accents, and an original graphic along the quarter mesh panels, finished by an icy blue translucent sole and “23” PE style number embroidered on the heels.
The Air Jordan 5 Retro “International Flight” drops August 4 at a retail value of $190 USD.
Continuing with its multitude of new colorways for the Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0, Nike is now gearing up for a bolder colorway of the model.
For the latest updated iteration, monochromatic “Red Orbit” takes over the entire upper while hits of black can be found on the redesigned Swoosh and VaporMax branding, as well as on the stitching running throughout. Finally a perforated orange heel cap and a signature tinted blue VaporMax cushioning unit finishes off this vibrant, lightweight pair.
The Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 “Red Orbit” is slated to hit select Nike retailers and Nike.com on Thursday, July 19 for $190 USD.
Nike is gearing up for next year’s Air Max Day with a three-shoe “Have a Nike Day” pack featuring the Air Max 97, Air Max 95 and Air Max 1. All models sport a pastel color palette — with the AM 97 and 95 donning a purple, aqua, and pink scheme and the AM1 boasting a monochrome pale blue look — as well as “Have a Nike Day” branding and smiley face designs on the lace locks and heel counters.
Nike’s Air Max “Have a Nike Day” pack is slated to release in March 2019.
Nike’s SF-AF1 silhouette will supposedly receive the classic “Wheat” treatment this coming Fall season. The technical high-top receives the golden brown hue across the upper portions crafted using premium suede and ballistic nylon overlays. Rounding out the shoe’s colorway are tonal black accents observed on the uppermost ankle straps and updated heel-ribbons that are now embellished with “Nike Air” lettering.
After being championed by London-based MC Skepta with the mismatched design earlier this year, Nike is set to give its hybrid Air Max 97 / BW silhouette a general release. The sneaker features the upper of the Air Max BW, which sits atop a full-length Air Max 97 air unit.
For the first general release, the sneaker is wrapped in a classic triple-black colorway which is reminscent of Skepta’s first joint Nike shoe from 2016. The black design is complimented by subtle shine detailing on the side panels and the use of a 3M stripe around the sneaker. As it stands, there is no official release date but the Nike Air Max 97 / BW is believed to be dropping this summer.
