Introducing the Nike Air Max 2015
Nov 29th
With very few exceptions, and perhaps none outside of basketball, the Nike Air Max line is an industry standard for style, innovation, and function. Black Friday will see the release of the newest addition to the Air Max family – the Nike Air Max 2015. Though the silhouette of the Air Max isn’t drastically different from past years, the design and features of the 2015 edition are certainly game changing and very different stylistically than the 2014 model. Exposed flywire and a fused heel piece allow for some eye popping colorways that look great, not to mention the lightweight stability the features add.
From Nike:
The Air Max 2015 upper works harmoniously with the full-length Max Air cushioning platform, known for its ultra-plush, bouncy cushioning. The Max Air unit’s tubular construction allows for greater flexibility while still delivering full-length cushioning underfoot. Flex grooves further enhance forefoot flexibility and a smooth transition from touchdown to takeoff, and a Waffle outsole provides excellent road traction. Sculpted Cushlon positioned between the Max Air unit and the shoe upper rounds out the cushioning platform for a smooth, soft ride.
The Nike Air Max 2015 will release on Friday, November 28th, at Foot Locker and Footlocker.com in both men’s and women’s sizes for $ 190. Kids sizes will also be available.

Nike LeBron 12 ‘Six Meridians’
Nov 28th

The LeBron 12 is designed to enhance James’s explosiveness while combining three key benefits: superior cushioning, harnessed support and natural flexibility. Pick up your pair of the Nike LeBron 12 ‘Six Meridians’ starting Saturday, November 29th at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EST) for $ 200.

Nike Kobe 9 EXT ‘Snakeskin’
Nov 27th
The Nike Kobe 9 continues to stretch the imagination, taking its heightened innovation from the court to the community with a Mamba-centric lifestyle feel. The latest extension, meant to embody the aesthetic and attitude of the venomous copperhead, is the second off-court extension in Kobe Bryant’s repertoire. Camouflaged in brown and tan hues, the snake-inspired upper replicates the reptile’s crossband pattern. Black premium leather runs along the tongue, collar, and heel, adding rich accents to each piece. Tying the design together, chrome insignia, inlays, and a translucent midsole let you shine off the court.

Nike Sportswear Bamboo Pack (Nike Air Max 90, Nike Air Max 95, Nike Air Huarache)
Nov 26th
The new “Bamboo Safari” Pack from Nike includes three Premium versions of your favorite runners: the Air Huarache PRM, the Air Max 95 PRM and the Air Max 90 PRM. As the Swoosh leans on the late 80′s print to bridge the gap between the past and present, these three kicks are among the chosen few for the “Bamboo Safari” gathering. The premium pack is crafted predominately in grey tones, accented by Hyper Punch hits throughout. Although the Air Max 1 typically accompanies the Air Max 90 and Air Max 95, the Huaraches fill in admirably, adding a sense of diversity while matching its partners in style and comfort.

adidas Rose 5 Navy/Orange
Nov 25th
This edition of the adidas Rose 5 is nicknamed the “Woven Blues” as it arrives in a navy, white and a dark orange colorway. With just enough pop and understated qualities at the same time, the sneaker’s predominantly navy blue-based upper make for a crisp and clean sneaker that can be worn/paired in a multitude of ways. While Derrick Rose was born and raised in Chicago, these kicks carry the same colorway as the city’s football team: the Chicago Bears.
Available in stores and online tomorrow. Check out Release Locator for stores.
