Shop Button Requests / Air technology with the Nike Air Max 2016 shoes
« on: January 05, 2017, 05:43:23 pm »
Always a winning color combination on literally any sneaker, black, red, and white combine once again for a strong look on this latest Nike Huarache Prezzo. Releasing in grade school sizing for the stylish young sneakerheads, this version of the modernized Air Huarache features its upper in all black mesh and subtly silver speckled synthetic material with a hit of red for the Huarache tongue logos. White takes care of the lightweight all-foam sole unit. You’ll be able to find the “Bred” Huarache Ultra in stores soon.

The Holiday 2016 release slate is littered with a number of some of the year’s best releases, so we hope you’ve been saving your dough for the next two months and can grab everything on you and your loved ones’ respective wish lists. Nike Sportswear is making that feat especially difficult with surprise announcements of a Triple Black Flyknit Racer and city-exclusive offerings like this enticing laser-engravdNike Air Max 90 Essential.The Nike Air Max 90 Chicago will release at one special location this Saturday and features unique accents like iridescent lace eyelets, laser engraved graphics on the toebox with images ranging from a basketball, flower, ‘312’ callouts, and more. Luxurious Metallic Gold accents land on the added ‘Chicago’ lace dubraes and lace tips while special ‘312’ branding hits the ankle collar. The all-white colorway benefits from some off-white visible air while an icy outsole keeps things clean.Check out more detailed shots of this special edition laser-engraved Air Max 90 Chicago below and if you’re in the Windy City, head over to the Nordstrom x Nike Sneaker Boutique in downtown Chi-Town this Saturday, November 19th to grab your size.

The Nike Air Max 2016 Uomo has been one of the more interesting installments of the Swoosh’s flagship visible air-wielding model. Sure, the combination of an engineered mesh upper, dynamic flywire, and a 360-degree air max outsole has been the standard for the past three years, but here the placement of the Swoosh and minimalist design cues make this silhouette a subtle and complex must-have. Today we get a look at an angelic all-white rendition, one that features 3M hints on the exposed flywire support system and forefoot Swoosh to perfectly coincide with an icy outsole. What do you think of this Air Max 2016?

The Nike Roshe Run Uomo gets spotted and dotted for this latest iteration of the modern classic casual silhouette, featuring a perforated foam-mesh upper in three colorways. The “Pin Dot” Roshe pack offers a hole-filled sneaker that will keep your feet looking and feeling cool in the summer heat. The shoe comes in your choice of Team Red, black backed with Volt, and a pristine all-white look for the trio of colorways, each of which is hitting select Nike Sportswear retailers including Sneaker Politics and Rock City Kicks right now.

The Nike Roshe Run Uomo is now about to enter its 3rd straight summer, and after the recent rename to the Nike Roshe One, we’re patiently waiting to see if Nike has bigger plans. In the meantime, the Swoosh is doing what it does every summer to the silhouette – updating it with a number of festive prints and patterns while seasonal appropriate materials like mesh and nylon come together to make the shoe even more comfortable. The latest aesthetic features a clean white throughout while splashes of what the brand is calling ‘Bold Berry’ arrives in the form of cartoonish flowers on the side panel. The Swoosh is camouflaged in a matching white so that the array of electric blue, purple and green attracts the most attention. Pairs have already arrived at international shops so expect this Roshe Run to be available just in time for summer.

The Adidas Superstar Baratas 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.

If you thought by now adidas Originals would have ran out of ideas for theAdidas Stan Smith Mujer Baratas, you were wrong. The Three Stripes find yet another stylish new way to present one of their most classic sneakers of all time, this time featuring the Stan Smith in a fully woven upper. Looking like any old pair of Stans at first, especially in the OG white and green colorway, you’ll quickly notice the basket-like woven upper that still retains the iconic original silhouette. Along with the classic white and green color combo, the woven Stan Smith also debuts in white/navy and a reversed navy/white. All are arriving at adidas Originals retailers overseas now, so expect them in the US at adidas.com and select shops soon.

The ladies-only adidas Adidas Zx Flux Baratas drops this fall in an all-new blue colorway, with just a touch of pink thrown in. The Primeknit upper features a unique geometric graphic stitched into the upper with a series of randomly placed stripes and dots, while pink striping is found at the elastic collar. Look for your pair at select adidas Originals retailers soon.

The Adidas Nmd R1 Mujer 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.

Cool down with this latest look for the Nike Air Max 90 Ultra Moire this summer with this new colorway in “Ice Blue”. The modified version of the already modified Air Max 90 featuring a foam-mesh construction to go along with the cored-out lightweight tooling is featured here in the Grade School sizing with an icy blue hue accenting the white, grey, and silver upper. Cooler than your AC window unit, this latest Air Max 90 Ultra SE is breezing into select Nike Sportswear retailers now.

It’s been quite some time since Nike Sportswear’s Nike Air Huarache Pas Cher 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. Stay tuned for a release update in the near future right here on Sneaker News.

The women’s Nike Air Max Pas Cher Femme gets lighter and more summer-ready than ever with a new die-cut iteration named the Air Max Thea Joli.Presented in an all-white look, the new Air Max Thea with geometrically-shaped holes for a sandal-like take on the popular women’s retro-inspired runner.

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 Femme Pas Cher 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.

Tennis legend Adidas Stan Smith Femme Pas Cher was granted a pair of signature sneakers in the 60’s. The adidas Originals Stan Smith is game changing sneaker that has been well-loved since it released. Once used for performance, the sneaker is now worn for everyday use. In 2014, adidas popularized the Stan Smith once again by issuing a variety of iterations of the sneaker.

We’re less than one week away from the release of the Adidas Nmd R1 Pas Cher. With the year coming to an end, adidas is looking to finish it off with a couple of dope releases. There’s no doubt in my mind that the NMD model was one of their best-selling models of 2016, so it’s no surprise that one of their last big releases of the year is centered around the highly coveted NMD.These new takes on the adidas NMD R1 will feature a Black or White Primeknit upper that features an engineered ‘White Noise’ knit pattern. The same pattern can also be found on the sock-fit design that ends up blending in nicely with the rest of the upper. The pack gets its Tri-Color name due to the three different colors used to fill in the Three Stripe branding on the paneling. Other notable features include the White Boost midsole, the White (or Black) EVA inserts, the Black eyelets, laces and heel pull tabs, and the molded heel-patch. So which pair are you feeling the most?

First released in 1990, the Nike Air Max 90 Baratas was not originally known as that. It was produced as the Air Max III but Nike changed the name in 2000. The Air Max 90 delivers incredibly as a great performance shoe that features a stable midsole and a mesh upper. Nike has released many colorways and retroed the shoe several times. The Infrared stands strong as the most sought after in the Air Max 90 line. The Air Max 90 is a classic shoe that has become very popular among sneakerheads.

The 1972 Olympics wouldn’t have been the as significant if the Nike Cortez Mujer Baratas didn’t make its first appearance at the big games. The runner shoe gained a significant amount of momentum during the 1970’s and still gains popularity being a classic shoe. Since its initial release, the Cortez has seen some minor advancements in design throughout the years but admiration for the shoe hasn’t changed as it transitioned from the track field onto the street for more casual wear.

As part of an upcoming campfire pack which also features the AM 90 and AM 95,theNike Air Huarache Mujer is particularly highlighted and displayed in a lifestyle editorial.Embodying the respective theme across its profile, the silhouette is rendered in deep earthy hues, alongside premium details such leather, woodgrain, flannel and ripstop nylon. Subtle white speckling is evident on the signature heel cage system to evoke the starry night sky, while the tongue patch bears a campfire with marshmallows ready to be roasted to further encapsulate its moniker.

The Adidas Zx Flux Mujer is the latest model in the ZX family. Constructed of an earlier model that has been stripped down to the core, the shoe has a personality of its own. The shoe inhibits an upper built of nylon and suede creating a dynamic look. Installed with innovative technology, the ZX Flux has become incredibly popular in little time since its debut.

The Adidas Superstar Baratas was recently outfitted with cork toes to replace the traditional rubber shell toe. So what’s next? Metal toes.
Seen above are two of the newest colorways of the classic Superstar. Both feature the traditional leather construction on the upper in OG colorways of black/white and white/black. Where things get really interesting is on the toe where we see Metallic toes in gold (black pair) and silver (white pair). Both are then finished off with gold or silver branding on the tongues and side panels.
Which pair do you like better? Get a good look at both colorways above and check for them at select retailers in the near future.
