New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

The summer will be winding before we want it to, but at least that mean that the heat won’t stop coming in the form of sneakers.

Nike Retro division has two runs of kicks that got our attention while looking through the catalogs. The first (top row) is part of the August Urbano line. Its been a minute since we have seen the Nike Air Flight 89´s and with patent leather, this one is a wrap. The Nike Air Max 90´s and Nike Vandal Lows aren’t award winners, but still finish off the trio in a nice way.

The bottom row is known as the “purple pack” for obvious reasons. Now don’t be surprised if you run into someone from Houston claiming that the Bayou city is behind the new trend of purple, but wherever the designers at Nike got the inspiration, we couldn’t care less as long as they come in our size.

The Purple Pack set to release on the 20th of August!

A few months back the “Glow in the Dark” Package released which included 4 shoes: Dunk Hi, Blazer, Air Max 90, and the Vandal Low. Just recently a few sample versions of the Dunks have popped up with variations such as a clear sole and different color placement.

Sadly, one shoe that was originally supposed to be included in the package, was not given its chance to shine; the Nike Trainer SC. For one reason or another these were scrapped. Nicekicks were fortunate enough to get ahold of a pair when visiting a nearby Nike Outlet.

You can find more detailed pictures here.

Thanks to Crooked Tongues, we can give you a look at the upcoming Supreme x Nike collaboration project.

As seen in the image, the project will be based on the Nike Air Trainer TW II.

No more info is available for now, stay tuned with us for any further updates!

It looks like that the sneaker boutique Mita Sneakers in Japan will be collaborating with Nike once again. This time, they have taken their new Nike Free Trainer Dunk model to create this sneaker dubbed “Sinra Bansho”. We’re not exactly sure what “Sinra Bansho” is but after doing a Google search, it seems like that this shoe could be inspired by an old Japanese game. But no matter what, this new Nike Free Trainer Dunk features crazy material all in one shoe including ostrich skin, snake skin, cement and square mesh. The sole also features a splattered pattern as well.

This project will be available on June 23rd and will be available only at Mita Sneakers.

Here is the latest from Nike’s hybrid sneakers, a Nike Trainer 1 mixed with a Dunk high and a Free. This hybrid used suede on the toe and ankle strap has the slightest grape hue which is set off by the popping vibrancy of the purple synthetics. The yellow accents are tiny but if you close your eyes you could have sworn you saw more yellow. Perforations in balance, the right amount of speckle, close-weave mesh side panels and a touch of croc on the Swoosh.
