The upper structure incorporates mesh padding and overlapping suede panels, full of bold green tones. The small note of “Rain Cloud” brings some neutral contrast and is located on the side of the “N” logo and the higher part of the heel. Pure black accents are also displayed on the lining and on the New Balance brand on the top of the tongue.

Moving the focus down, the double-stacked midsole unit alternates between the cream layer at the top and the white part below, and the stepping combines its overall appearance with a concealed finish.

The Nike Air Max Pre-Day Connects Generations of Innovation

Fashion Nike Air Jordan 1 Low “UNC” Basketball Shoes Sale 553558-144 vamp

March 16, 2021-The Nike Air Max Pre-Day posture is reminiscent of Nike’s golden age of jogging shoes (think Daybreak, produced from 1979 to 1981) and the radical, visible Nike Air heel unit , Nike Air Max Pre-Day breaks new ground in the Air field.

The eye-catching aesthetics of the shoe combines the late 1970s and 2020s, highlights the spirit of simplified design, minimizes material waste, and contains at least 20% recycled content by weight (the upper is 100% recycled poly Ester; the outsole is about 13% Nike Grind rubber) and the Air device is placed at a new angle. The fully exposed heel airbag is the same as the airbags currently used in Air Max 1s, Air Max 90s, Air Jordan IIIs, IVs, Vs and VIs.the difference? Now, the complete Air cushion can not only be seen through the window, but also exposed between the midsole and the outsole.

In addition to the visual impact of engineering design, this articulation of the Air unit also supports a new feel under the foot. Air Max Pre-Day reduces the number of layers between the foot and the Air, and places the device between two hard surfaces to achieve a more obvious bounce with each step.

With this breakthrough, the shoe draws on the dawn of Air and pays tribute to Nike’s decades of experimentation and innovation in the field of cushioning. Although Air-Sole made its debut with Tailwind in the late 1970s, its development as the Nike logo is largely due to the continuous progress of Air Manufacturing Innovation (Air MI).

The predecessor of Air MI was Tetra Plastics, a plastics manufacturer located in the St. Louis area, based on four principles: quality, service, innovation and engineering. Tetra started working with Nike in 1981 to develop Air-Soles. In 1986, the company developed the Visi-Air tubing that made Air Max 1 possible, and from 1989 to 1991 pioneered the blow molding process for airbags, which allowed for increased cushioning in visible Air shoes. The relationship between the two parties developed to Nike’s full acquisition of Tetra in 1991.

In the past three years, Air MI has been characterized by continuous innovation. The evolution of Air is marked by breakthroughs in thermoforming technology, which has brought about new airbag shapes and performance improvements, as well as significant benefits from sustainable manufacturing. For example, more than 90% of the waste materials used in Air-Soles are recycled. Use to manufacture new and innovative cushioning systems.

In Pre-Day, Nike Air’s promise has witnessed another revolution. Reconsidering the use of the popular visible air unit provides a subtle reminder that a good idea can have multiple incarnations.

2021 New BalanceM5740MW blue gray black casual shoes sports shoes jogging shoes

Despite having been revealed as recently as January 2021, the New Balance 57/40 has already garnered a reputable list of collaborators with the likes of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and atmos. Adding to the ongoing list of Japanese powerhouses are retailer mita sneakers and streetwear brand WHIZ Limited, together delivering a pair that’s a sporty mix of primary colors offset by black and grey elements.

This isn’t the first time the two Asian brands are collaborating with The Intelligent Choice; the three names have been cooking up unique offerings since 2012, with the last arrangement being a USA-inspired New Balance 1700 that dropped in July 2020. The new 57/40 seems to retain the design ethos summarized by bright color-blocking on a simple base demonstrated by the aforementioned release. It sees grey mesh uppers that are primarily disrupted by black suede overlays to balance out the bold colors to come. Wavy overlays on the forefoot and the eyelets introduce green suede, while hints of red are found near the ankle and on the NB-branded tongue label. The final color, which is a true blue, is applied to the laces, toe, and beneath the silver, oversized “N” logo on the side. Although the trims above the midsole offer opportunities for more color-blocking, they all opt for a black makeup that blends in with the sole unit, finishing the versatile look.

Virgil Abloh remixes Air Force 1 sneakers for Nike x Louis Vuitton

The Nike x Louis Vuitton collaboration includes 21 new colors for iconic sneakers designed by Louis Vuitton creative director Virgil Abloh.

The shoes are part of the French luxury brand’s spring/summer 2022 menswear collection, which was exposed through a film called “Amen Break”. According to the description of the series, the new Air Force 1 design combines “the coach’s classic code with the Louis Vuitton logo and materials, paying tribute to the hip-hop culture that shaped him.”On the catwalk, models wore monochrome versions of Nike x Louis Vuitton sneakers, which were bright green, yellow, red and blue-all the colors released before Air Force 1s. However, in the cooperation, the logo of the sneakers is the combination of the leather Swoosh logo and the Louis Vuitton monogram on the upper, and the words “AIR” and “LACET” in Abloh’s iconic quotations. The tongue of the sneaker also carries the joint label of Nike and Louis Vuitton.

More experiments with sneakers have been conducted elsewhere in the series. The two pairs of multi-color shoes are mainly yellow, green and blue, and the toe and upper are made of reflective monogram materials. The Swoosh logo on both sides is also outlined with contrasting zigzag stitching.The other pair is made of cream and brown leather, similar to Louis Vuitton’s famous suitcase, decorated with the brand’s Damier checkerboard pattern. It uses a thick black sole, also marked “AIR”. The other style is kept simple, the white vamp is embossed with the LV monogram, and the side is marked “LOUIS VUITTON for NIKE”.

As part of the collaboration, Abloh also designed a special sneaker trunk to match the shoes. It is made of bright orange embossed calfskin with a white Swoosh label attached to the handle.This is not the first time Abloh has remixed Nike’s beloved sneakers. The Off-White designer first collaborated with the sportswear giant in 2017 to redesign a series of Nike sneakers for his “The Ten” series. Since then, he has been an ongoing collaborator, creating the best-selling sneakers with his design signatures (such as zipper tags and quoted keywords). His most recent project is the Nike x Off-White “Dear Summer” series, which introduces the former Dunk Low sneakers in 50 new colors.This is Abloh’s first collaboration with Nike through Louis Vuitton, and he was appointed as Men’s Artistic Director in 2018. This also marks that the French luxury fashion brand is still hyping up its cooperation with Supreme in 2017 when it sold out.

Louis Vuitton has not disclosed more details of its new series of Air Force 1 sneakers, including price and release date, but it may be as important as Dior’s collaboration with the Nike Jordan brand last year. Be sure to watch this space to stay updated.

The Best Nike Running Shoes Make You Feel Like an Olympian at Every Turn

2021 Nike Phantom GT Elite FG red and blue football boots

If you have considered running on a sidewalk, track, or trail this summer, you may inevitably encounter the best Nike running shoes on the market. For many reasons, Swoosh is a multi-billion dollar behemoth, but when it comes to performance footwear, nothing is more compelling than the brand’s outstanding reputation. Look, before Nike became a global superpower almost synonymous with sports, it was a small business founded by a former college track star and his coach. Its ultimate mission was to design a better running shoe. Today, this Portland factory produces various types of sportswear, but sports shoes are still its backbone, and its running shoes work overtime to maintain this tradition. Nike’s running shoes are one of the best running shoes in the world, because what they provide-from cushioning, durability to energy feedback-gives you the opportunity to feel like Eliud Kipchoge, whether you are an amateur looking for a new daily routine Trainers or hardcore half-marathon runners on the enthusiast running shoe market, this will help you smash the final PB.

When you buy a Nike racer, the product you bought has been enthusiastically repaired: foam midsole, patterned outsole, mesh upper-every detail is specially designed to achieve the highest caliber performance, long-term long-distance Trails, 10-second sprints or winding uphill. This level of attention is a key part of Nike’s story. This special seasoning made sneakers snapped up by the masses and shamelessly copied by the brand’s competitors. Flyknit, Flywire, FlyEase? Before Nike turned them into household terms, all of these were meaningless internal jargon while making them represent industry-standard technologies in the process.

Nike Take Flight With Mercurial Vapor Superfly ‘Dragonfly’ Football Boots

The vibrancy, geometry and agility of a dragonfly’s wing has served as inspiration for the new generation Mercurial Vapor Superfly Dragonfly football boots from Nike. And the eye-catching footwear is locked in for an online release at the top of February, already set to be worn by players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ada Hegerberg who will sport the boots ahead of release.

Nike has gone with a feathery lightweight design that moves away from the previous model’s Flyknit and introduces a new Vaporposite upper, a combination of a grid mesh for superior grip and premium lining for precision ball control at high speeds – made from four different layers including a duragon wet traction, engineered mesh, titan synthetic and avail Q lining. A Nike Aerotrack plate has been included underfoot for better responsiveness and acceleration, sharpening focus on the essentials, which were identified through numerous player feedback resulting in the 4 key focus areas of fit, touch, traction and style.

Athlete insight has led Nike’s design team to aspire for an upper that feels more like a natural extension of the foot, as well as a more true-to-life touch to help players maintain control at high speeds. Traction was identified as one of the most important areas for quick acceleration and breaking in all directions, while a brighter, lighter and faster style has also been kept as one of the central elements. The result is what looks to be one of the biggest evolutions to date for the Mercurial Superfly, not just performance-wise, but aesthetically with a wild and attention-grabbing super bright look that was inspired by a computer motherboard and collates visuals from the past 23 years of iconic Mercurials. It won’t be hard to spot this one from the top of the stands.

Just 7 prime components have been used to ensure both maximum efficiency and minimal weight for the wearer, placing performance and speed above all else.

Skepta’s Next Move is on the Pitch

May 13, 2021 – London-born artist Skepta applies his creative vision to the world of football through the Nike Phantom x Skepta boot. The release corresponds with a second, the “Bloody Chrome” colorway, of the Nike Air Max Tailwind V x Skepta and further extends his on-going relationship with the Swoosh.

The first music artist to collaborate with Nike on a performance football boot, Skepta has created a Phantom boot that sits proudly alongside its Air Max counterpart.

The two silhouettes share a wealth of design details — the red butterfly print applied to the uppers continues Skepta’s exploration of creative metamorphosis, while the chrome Swooshes and soleplate on the Phantom are inspired by the silver jewelry that’s an integral part of Skepta’s style. As on the previous Tailwind V x Skepta, the heels of both the red Phantom and the Air Max feature a subtle iridescent material as an eye-catching nod to the thermographic cover art of Skepta’s 2019 album “Ignorance Is Bliss.”

Reflecting on his own footballing experiences, Skepta says, “I love the pressure when you call for the ball. When they pass it to you, you become the sole director of the next move for the team. You’ve got a split second to decide, ‘is it good for me to keep this and show what I’m about or is it good to pass it and show that I’m thinking about all the players on the pitch?’”

Presenting the Phantom and the Nike Air Tailwind V together creates a full-circle view of Skepta’s community-centered mentality.

“I love the culture around football as much as the game; I’m really into the culture of football jerseys for what they represent. They represent ‘team,’” he says. “Going to matches is sick too. When you go to a match, you experience live people, live audio, all the things that the TV might miss …you really feel it more than see it or hear it when you’re there.”

The Nike Phantom x Skepta and “Bloody Chrome” Nike Tailwind V x Skepta release June 12.
