After getting a glimpse at Nike‘s colorful “Peach Jam” edition of the KD Zoom 12 earlier today, the Swoosh unveils another vibrant version of the sleek basketball sneaker. In celebration of the annual EYBL tournament, the summer event evokes a bright “Multi-Color” design which embraces a mix of pastel peach and purple hues that subtly blend into each other, emboldened by neon accents across the heels and laces. The design also incorporates light geometric shapes and text in the mesh overlays, calling out specs like the quad-axial Flywire.
With full-length Zoom Air cushioning, the sneakers provide responsiveness and support to impacts, while feeling light on the feet. Finished off with collaborative KD, Nike and EYBL branding throughout the shoe, the “Multi-Color” Zoom KD 12 is available for ¥17,500 (around $165 USD) at atmos Japan.
Every summer Nike tips off the summer season with its annual EYBL league, which sees high school basketball players from around the country go head-to-head before reaching the coveted Nike Peach Jam in Augusta, Georgia. In line with the festivities, the sportswear giant has unveiled a new iteration of Kevin Durant’s signature KD 12 sneaker. Entitled the Nike Zoom KD12 NRG EP “Peach Jam,” the multi-colored shoe takes on a variety of colors and patterns for a vibrant take on the silhouette.
Doused in summer-ready colors, the shoe’s upper features a variety of patterns alongside its teal base. Hits of Georgia Peach and neon accents, floral embellishments on the midsole and heel, and a checkered Swoosh round out the majority of the design. Each pair has been stamped with the EYBL logo on the lateral heel region as well as various Nike and KD branding throughout.
You can check out the Nike Zoom KD12 NRG EP “Peach Jam” in the gallery above. The shoes are currently set to release via Nike China’s web store on July 15, with a global release expected to happen soon after. The retail price has been set at ¥1,299 RMB (approximately $190 USD).
Jordan Brand has shared an official look at its upcoming Air Jordan 13 “White/Court Purple,” set to release next week. As the basketball and lifestyle imprint has shared, the newly revealed color way is “inspired by the black panther and Michael Jordan’s predatory nature on the court.” The new iteration pays homage to the historic rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls.
Doused in a Lakers-themed color scheme, the shoe features an upper constructed of white leather and “Court Purple” suede. Moving down to the midsole, the upper is met by contrasting black, with the outsole employing hits of white, black, and yellow to solidify the shoe’s color palette. The shoe is finished off with various Jordan Brand branding that marks the toe box as well as the tongue.

If Nike‘s announcement for plans of a new Air Manufacturing Innovation Facility in Goodyear wasn’t enough evidence that it is looking to push AIR in a big way, then these latest streams of new Air Max silhouettes should do the trick. Closely following the teased boxing shoe and the more recent Air Max 270, this latest Air-infused offering comes in the form of the Nike Air Max 200.
Clearly taking cues from the Air Max 180, this futuristic upgrade also borrows a few key design elements from the Air Max 90, and makes use of Nike’s modern rounded/tubular Air unit that can be found in the Air Max 720 and Air Max 270. The Air Max 200 also opts for padded synthetic uppers to keep things breathable and light; additional material is applied over the mesh uppers to provide support in important areas of the foot.
While the Air Max 200 is currently only offered in the Asia region online, for roughly $130 USD, we can expect a full global release on nike.com in the coming weeks.
UNDERCOVER and Nike continue with their lauded collaborative efforts, this time by introducing a bold yellow iteration of its highly-sought after Daybreak silhouette.
Unlike the black and blue iterations we’ve seen prior, this Daybreak model is outfitted in vibrant “Bright Citron” with contrasting hits of black found on both the lateral and medial Swoosh insignias, heel counter, laces and outsole. The dark tone can also be seen on the speckled off-white midsole and “UNDERCOVER Jun Takahashi” branding. Additionally grey accents the unique heel panels, suede toe cap and lace guard. Elsewhere, premium materials have been used to craft this special Daybreak seeing suede and grain leather helping to elevate the retro-inspired sneaker.
Over the course of the summer, seven different colorways will be released. Stay tuned for an exact release date for the UNDERCOVER x Nike Daybreak “Bright Citron.”
