Of course Packer Shoes brought this exact colorway nike court royale onto a shoe when they collaborated with Saucony and the Grid 9000 back in 2014. Peep the detailed photos below and stay tuned for a global drop on January 11th. The upcoming winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea will feature medal ceremonies in open-air arenas, with temperatures expected to be below freezing. In response, the United States Olympic Committee has created a Medal Stand Kit in conjunction with Nike to keep American athletes warm as they proudly watch the rise of the Stars and Stripes and hear the National Anthem played.
Charles Barkley's Nike Air Force 180 made a surprise returns late last year in some surprisingly stylish colorways. While we cherish the original Olympic and black/red/blue looks, the more lifestyle-focused olive and khaki versions suggested an off-the-court look that shed new light on this nikedownshifter early 1990s classic. Now, Nike is delivering the shoes in clean tonal black upper with speckled white midsoles for yet another impressive option for fans of Barkley to get their hands on.
Expect a release and select retailers in February. Nike is reaching back into its archive and nike dualtone racer pulling out one of its seldom-used silhouettes that has gained a bit more attention as of late -; the Air Humara. After a 2017 collaboration with Supreme, the cult-classic ATR design is back with three new camouflage-infused designs that take the popular aesthetic and add a bit of a twist. Each selection boasts a unique color blocking scheme, with the camouflage detailing coming on different panels, and the in-sole sporting different patterns as well.
The first two offerings have been revealed, while the third is yet to be seen, but with the first carrying an nike dunk Alpha-division monicker and the second, a Bravo division name, it is safe to assume the third will be the Charlie-division. You can't draw up a more natural partnership than what Kendrick Lamar and Nike have surrounding the Cortez. The Compton native grew up with the classic running shoe turned lifestyle icon, so the narrative around the upcoming collaborative releases between the rap star and the Swoosh is sure to be authentically driven.
