Remember when CrossFit banned the Nike Metcon 2 Dame and Nike fired back with their own Air Jordan 1 inspired “Banned” edition of the shoe? (If not, read about it here.) Well it looks like the Metcon 2 is also receiving a colorway borrowed from an OG Air Jordan 1 look, which as you can see here, is the the iconic “Royal” color combination in blue and black. If you’ve always wanted a pair of Royals for the gym, now you’re all set. You can find the Nike Metcon 2 “Royal” soon at select Nike Training suppliers.
Dylan Raasch’s Nike Roshe Run proved that Nike can make a coveted sneaker that’s ubiquitous the sneaker world over. At an original base price point of $70 and limited on what materials could be used, the Roshe’s success has since seen numerous attempts at replication throughout the sneaker world. Nike has yet to make a true and through sequel but this new silhouette – the Nike Tanjun – is definitely close in proximity. Today we get a look at two debut colorways, a Midnight Navy/Game Royal combination and a clean Wolf Grey/White. A mesh base forms a diamond grid while a ‘Tape’-esque Swoosh keeps the design sleek and lightweight. The midsole definitely looks up to par with the Roshe’s construction, only this time a wave hits the mid-section for an added aesthetic twist. What do you think of the upcoming Nike Tanjun Dame Sort? Check out more photos below and we’ll keep you updated on a stateside release date in the near future.
The Adidas Superstar Tilbud Dame celebrated its 30th anniversary not too long ago, but has since taken a backseat to a number of silhouettes in the three stripe’s catalog that’s now more focused on innovation and new technologies than anything else. That doesn’t mean that the 80s icon hasn’t been revamped itself, as adidas Originals is ushering in the New Year with two premium “Metallic Toe” takes on the Superstar’s legendary shelltoe construction.The adidas Superstar Gold Toe and adidas Superstar Silver Toe takes the precious metal route to task while each colorway features smooth white or black leather uppers for a more traditional juxtaposition. Even the tongue branding featuring the trefoil logo is revamped with metallic prints while the side panel ‘Superstar’ wordmark gets a matching gold or silver finish. What do you think of the look?Check out more detailed shots of the adidas Superstar Gold Toe & Silver Toe options below and know that this women’s exclusive will be available come January 2017 at select shops.

The Adidas Nmd Danmark Pris Primeknit “Sun Glow” was one of the more sought after general releases of the adidas NMD this winter. The salmon-like pink shade managed to stand out on the adidas Ultra Boost too, but we’ll still have to wait for that pair to arrive at retailers come Spring 2017. Today we have some good news: those of you hoping to get the adidas NMD R1 Sun Glow will have another shot on the day after Christmas morning, as select international retailers like Germany’s own The Good Will Out will be stocking the pair in a full-size run.The adidas NMD R1 Sun Glow benefits from that premium woven Primeknit construction with an aesthetic reminiscent of the early “Glitch Camo” releases.

If you’re a fan of the classic Nike Air Mowabb from the glory days of Nike ACG, then this new colorway of the Nike Huarache Damen should look familiar. That’s because the shoe, which is already partly inspired by the Mowabb, receives a colorway very reminiscent of the OG brown and purple look for the classic early ’90s hiker/runner hybrid. The Huarache Utility receives its own brown, black, and purple color combination for its techy design, completed with reflective striping running down the tongue.

It’s been quite some time since Nike Sportswear’s Nike Air Huarache Ultra finally brought back all of the OG 1991 goodness we deserved, but NSW is still finding ways to include the iconic Tinker Hatfield design in new and exciting ways. Take the Nike Huarache Ultra as the perfect example of old school elements blending flawlessly with a modernized fit and style. Today we get a look at two brand new colorways of the Nike Huarache Ultra Premium SE featuring a bolstered winterized upper, added ‘Tape’ on the toebox, and an updated back heel strap to maximize comfort.The Nike Air Huarache Ultra PRM SE is back in familiar “Triple Black” and “Triple White” options while flashy iridescent reflective elements hit the tongue for an added pop.

It appears that polka dots will be a reoccurring motif for Nike in early 2015, as we’ve already spotted the dotted pattern on a number of models including the Nike Cortez Womens even a whole pack from Nike Sportswear dedicated to the pattern, aptly named the “Polka Dot Pack”. Now the classic Cortez gets in on the fun, with this special polka dotted edition just for the ladies. The Nike Cortez receives a perforated leather build in black, accented with white-dotted Wolf Grey for each Swoosh and heel tab for a playful and stylish take on the silhouette. Look for the  Cortez to arrive stateside soon, or find them now at select European Nike Sportswear stockists like Suppa.

Tis the season for Nike Sportswear’s Timberland-inspired “Flax” regime to arrive at retail shelves. While the past two autumns we’ve seen a number of Nike’s best retros don the outdoorsman aesthetic, this year any announcement on a return to form has been noticeably absent from the release slate, until now. Today we get a look at the Nike Air Force 1 High “Flax” which released in November 2015 exclusively in a men’s size run. Now NSW will be bringing back the head-turning take on Bruce Kilgore’s iconic basketball high-top for a women’s size run only this October.The Nike Air Force 1 High Flax features a subtle Flax suede tooling while a classic gum outsole unit adds to the lifestyle appeal. These were a huge hit last year and the previous year when the Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Flax” debuted, but do you think this Nike Air Force 1 High will have the same hype this Fall 2016 season? Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for a stateside release date right here on Sneaker News. If you can’t wait, international spots like Titolo have your size right now.

The Rambler series of drinkware is the first line of YETIs you can fit in your hand. And, yeah, we over-engineered these Yeti Cups On Sale to be virtually indestructible and keep your drink as cold (or hot) as science allows. With 18/8 stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation, and No Sweat™ Design, they’re perfect for the deer lease, cleaning table, or just the times in between your outdoor adventures.

One Colored Yeti Cups 20 Oz against one Tervis Tumbler 16oz mug. The air temperature in my kitchen was a constant 68F. I filled both with 163 grams of ice @ 7:46pm. Both had lids on. The YETI Rambler 20oz with the lid it came with which is clear plastic with a drinking hole in it. A rubber gasket allows for a close and tight fitting lid. The Tervis Tumbler had a lid too, the after maker lid with a sliding/closing drink hole. I left it slid open to mimic the YETI version as closely as possible.

First ice check of the Headhunters Fly Shop test v.1 of YETI Rambler vs. Tervis Tumbler Test and Review was at 5:11 in the morning. The Tervis Tumbler 16oz had lost 158 grams of its original 163 grams of ice. The YETI Rambler 20oz is starting to look good already.
The Yeti Wholesale Prices. only lost 20 grams of ice at 5:11 in the morning. A trickle of water poured from the YETI Rambler.Only 20 grams lost at 7 1/2 hrs.Only 20 grams lost at 7 1/2 hrs.Just awesome. Clearly the winner at this point, nearly 8 hours in to the test, is the YETI Rambler.

Air temperatures still holding at 68F. The ice in the YETI was rock solid. No bad ice here.Fast forward to 1:26pm, now near 18hrs of ice in the YETI Rambler I poured out another 48 grams. Still plenty of ice to cool your beverage here! Performing much better than I anticipated for sure.

At nearly 24 hrs into the YETI Rambler vs. Tervis Tumbler Test and Review the YETI still had plenty of ice. Honest. The photos prove it.I have used the Tervis Tumbler since our good friend Capt. Scott Yetter introduced me to the Professional Drinking Cup a number of years ago. I adopted it and had been bragging them up ever since. Hot coffee in the morning and cold cocktails int he afternoon. Rocked it in the boat for guests and at home for guests.I may be changing my tune as of today. The YETI Rambler is clearly the mug to have in your possession this holiday period and beyond. Pick up a few of them for your friends, and for your wife.

The Tervis Tumbler is out of the game. But, it comes in at under 12 bucks. The Yeti Tumblers 30 Oz is not cheap at a penny under 30 bucks. The performance alone may push you towards the YETI product although the Tervis Tumbler with the lid configuration and if you can pick up nearly 3 of them for the same price as one YETI Rambler you may find yourself filling your kitchen cabinets with a few Tervis products.

I have not done a test on hot liquids but I am sure it will fare just fine. I have had several cups of coffee from the Wholesale Yeti Tumblers and love it. Holds the temp well.We have both for your pleasure at Headhunters Fly Shop in Craig Montana. Give us a call and we will use the magic of YETI, no the magic of the USPS and get a few in the mail for you this holiday season.
