Nike ACG Lunar Incognito
Mar 2nd
Inspired by the outdoors, Nike’s ACG line introduces the “Lunar Incognito” in two fresh colorways: Bright Citron and Volt. The sneaker is seamlessly designed for functionality and comfort, as its various components are a Hyperfuse upper, a breathable mesh rear for added suppor and a speckled Lunarlon sole. The Bright Citron colorway looks to be a combination of a bold purple and orange, while the Volt is quickly becoming known as Nike staple colorway/outfit.
Available in select stores on Saturday.
Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon 4 Diffused Jade
Mar 1st
Jumping off of the last Nike LeBron 11 to release, the Nike Zoom Kobe Venomenon 4 gets the “Diffused Jade” treatment as well. Designed for performance for both the court and pavement, the Venomenon sports a Hyperfuse construction for light, breathable durability. To get technical, the shoe’s outsole employs Blade Traction technology for durability on outdoor courts and forefoot Zoom unit cushions for comfort. The official colors that make up the sneaker are diffused jade, electric green and light loden.
Available online only Saturday.
After The Whirlwind of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October
Mar 1st
Taking a look back at this month, the most remarkable and unexpected release in the sneaker world was the release of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October. While Kanye West consistently ranted on his stops on his Yeezus Tour about how he needed a fashion deal with a large corporation, and calling out Nike CEO Mark Parker out in the process, the shoe was a limbo about whether or not it would be released at all for the past year. When Kanye West announced that he inked a deal with adidas Y-3, the questions arose once more for the much-anticipated sneaker.
Then on February 9th, 2014, Nike’s (@Nike) Twitter account randomly announced that the sneakers were on sale. This caused a stir amongst sneakerheads globally because the shoe was sold out in a matter of 11 minutes. However, looking back at how high the anticipation was for the shoe and the magnifying glass on it — the decision to make it fair and drop it randomly was probably the smartest move at that point.
It’s no secret that the shoe is special and amongst one of the more coveted shoes in the world. And now, they’re out in the wild.

Nike KD VI Liger
Feb 25th

The sneaker blends leopard and tiger prints with bright electric green and atomic orange for a shock of energy on the court. The Nike designer behind the shoe, Leo Chang, spoke to the precision craftsmanship that went into the creation of the Nike KD VI, likening its construction to the meticulous workings of a premium wristwatch.
Available online only this Saturday.
Nike LeBron 11 “Diffused Jade”
Feb 24th
There have been a slew of recent LeBron releases but we’ve got one more for you and it’s super sleek. The Nike LeBron 11 “Diffused Jade” will drop on Saturday and is named after the accent color which accounts for the majority of the color pop on the pair. Cloaked in a mostly black upper this release has diffused jade accents on Nike and LeBron branding on the toe, tongue, and inside of the sneaker, as well as the shoe’s inner lining. A frosty diffused jade outsole also gives the shoe some pop and character. Light crimson is also prominent on the shoe’s black background taking care of the lace loops, tongue accenting, and woven in on the laces.
The Nike LeBron 11 “Diffused Jade” drops on Saturday, February 22 at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker, and online at Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EST) for $ 200.

Nike Air Flightposite 2014 “Black/Metallic Silver”
Feb 23rd
The ’90s served as a period for glorious invention and reinvention of Nike Basketball footwear. Bold experiments in style and innovation brought us classics, with staying power. Perhaps, no sneaker better captures that sense of nostalgia than the Air Flightposite – a former hardwood classic turned urban staple that teeters the line between street and tech.
Meant to mirror a carbon fiber finish, the silhouette’s upper stays true to tonality with a range of black-on-black materials. No detail has been sacrificed to maintain the look and feel of the original. The lone contrast comes in the form of two white Swooshes on the heel and shell; both of which were featured on the same colored Air Flightposite model in 1999.
The Nike Air Flightposite 2014 “Black/Metallic Silver” drops tomorrow, Saturday,February 22nd at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EST) for $ 210. Check the Launch Locator to see which stores will have this release and let us know if you’ll be copping in the comments.
Nike KD VI “Home 2″
Feb 22nd
It’s inspiring to see all that Kevin Durant has accomplished by being such a good guy overall. In typical humble fashion, Kevin Durant puts his team on his back with this version of the Nike KD VI. This edition dubbed “Home 2” has a similar pattern and graphic detailing of the Nike KD VI “Away 2,” which dropped a couple months back. This sneaker is dressed in a color combo of a silver upper with accents of volt neon and light blue, which is louder and more vibrant than the previous release.
Releases in stores and online Saturday. Check out Release Locator for stores.
Nike Air Tech Challenge Huarache Cool Grey/University Blue
Feb 22nd
The Nike Air Tech Challenge Huarache pairs cool grey, university blue and a hint of white all together in an incredible colorway. This sneaker is a hybridized Andre Agassi retro tennis silhouette, which pairs the Air Challenge Huarache’s upper with the sole of the Air Tech Challenge III. While these bring an early 90′s aesthetic to 2014, it seems as if it will be another exciting year for Agassi Nikes.

Nike KD Lifestyle “Reflective Camo”
Feb 21st
The Nike KD Lifestyle “Reflective Camo” is a high-top sneaker adapted from the standard low-cut Nike KD VI. What makes this sneaker special is its large tiger camouflage print on the upper of the kicks along with an implementation of 3M. All of the above sits above a white sole mixed with black accents. It’s a departure from the standard version of the latest Kevin Durant shoe, but we’re digging it. What do you think?
