For those that are loving the all-new Nike Air VaporMax that debuted during Air Max Day 2017 and are wonder what’s next for the silhouette? The answer is, the Nike Air VaporMax Strap that will be making its debut in 2018.

Although the name of the shoe is unofficial, as it’s also being referenced as the Laceless Nike Air VaporMax, but either way the new-look VaporMax is set to release next year (2018).

The shoe still features the same construction, but the traditional lacing system has been replaced with a thick branded elastic strap for a more stylish look.

No word on when the Nike Air VaporMax Strap will actually release, but you can expect a few colorways become available for Air Max Day 2018. Take a look at how the VaporMax Strap (Laceless) looks on-feet below and stay tuned to Sneaker Bar for more updates.

Better Air Jordan 7 – “YOTR” or “Hare”

By

Aug 13, 2017

Both the Air Jordan 7 YOTR (Year of the Rabbit) and Air Jordan 7 Hare have a similar theme that are two of the more popular colorways from Michael Jordan’s seventh signature shoe.

Originally released in 2011, the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac calendar. This Air Jordan 7 played perfectly into the “Hare” theme with another Bugs Bunny related release.

Last seen in 2015, the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” might be one of the most recognizable Air Jordan 7s due to the shoe’s connection to Bugs Bunny.

It’s definitely a hard choice to pick one or the other, but if you had to choose, which is the better Air Jordan 7? Cast your vote below and leave your reasoning on why in the comments section.

Paul George has taken his talents to Oklahoma City to join Russell Westbrook, and he’s preparing for the upcoming season in some Nike PG 1 OKC iterations. While going head-to-head with Devin Booker, we were able to check out one of the first official Nike PG 1 in the OKC colors.

While the colors don’t exactly match the Oklahoma City team’s uniforms, the color scheme definitely gives us an idea of what’s to come later this Fall/Winter with the Nike PG 1 and the debut of the Nike PG 2. He was also spotted in another OKC pair using a similar theme.

Take a look at the photos below and you can design a similar pair of these Nike PG 1 OKC colors via NIKEiD.

Australian skateboarder Shane O’Neill’s first Nike SB pro model is a personal take on the iconic Nike SB Stefan Janoski skate shoe. The classic Black, Red and White colors maintain the clean look of the silhouette, while contrast lines were removed from the high side taping, emphasizing O’Neill’s favorite parts of the shoe. While having a Black-based upper with a Red outlined Nike Swoosh, Shane puts his personal touch midsole and insole while sitting atop a Red rubber outsole.

“Getting a pro model is something I’ve always wanted to make happen. I can’t wait to be skating in the shoe,” says O’Neill. “Considering it’s my first, I wanted it to be a classic, mellow colorway – nothing too crazy, just a clean looking shoe that I’d want to skate.”
