Yet another first-hand look at an unreleased Nike KD shoe as we get a look at this Grey/Red/Royal PE that we saw several weeks back. We know for a fact that this colorway won’t release because designer Leo Chang confirmed just give (the White Gold, Superhero, OKC Home, the “Easter” Mint, and the Team Orange joints that we just dropped the release date for), so through the computer screen might be the only chance you’ll see them. A few more angles are below so take a look and let us know if you’d like to see a release, or if you’re ready to move on to the KD VI.

The Nike KD V Elite in orange/yellow/blue will release on June 15th. The pair was the first of the Nike KD V Elite colorways we ever saw and appears to be the last one set to hit retail. At first glance they have a vague “DMV” vibe to ‘em, but a further look reveals some photo blue sections that pull them in closer with the Oklahoma City colors. The sneaker has been pretty elusive to date, but with their release looming imminent we should start to see some clearer photos any day now. Check back in with us for that and stay tuned for more on the Nike KD V Elite.

So the Nike Foamposite took a strange turn when we first laid eyes on the funky “Weatherman” sample, with many of our readers being rather vocal regarding the overtly ornate colorways mocked up by the Nike team. This first look at yet another graphic print on a Foamposite should coerce a similar response for sure, as the Foamposite appears to explore outer space once again with an incredible gradient on the upper and outsole and what appears to be imagery of an asteroid belt. A few more shots are just below, so take a look and let us know what you think of either the gradient treatment or this revisiting of outer space on the Foamposite, and stay tuned to Sneaker News for all Nike Foamposite updates.

Nike Sportswear brought back the Nike Zoom Hyperflight recently with the “Superhuman” Pack, debuting some tonal graphic uppers representing the alter egos of Nike Basketball’s trio of superstars, and even the recent previewing of the Vis Zoom Hyperflights with the holographic lenticular upper has given this classic Nike hoops silhouette some energy. Later this year, the Hyperflight will take on a much more wild stance as we get a first look at the Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Orange Tiger” – a shoe that we first caught a glimpse of at a teaser preview of upcoming NSW releases. This enticing release features the feral orange/black graphic on the upper with hints of jungle green on the outsole, adding up to a distinct personality of a primal beast. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more release info, and check out the gallery below.
