Nike Kyrie 5
Nike wanted to push the envelope when approaching Kyrie Irving's fifth signature shoe, so they created Nike Air Zoom Turbo. According to the brand "Nike Air Zoom Turbo is a new basketball technology that delivers wide forefoot cushioning. It rotates with each, multidirectional cut and delivers an explosive return of energy" (Nike.com).

Nike KD 12
Nike took a huge risk and unconventional aproach when removing the strobel board from the KD 12. A strobel board is essentially the back-bone of a shoe, and provides stability for one's foot and one's shoes. Fortunately, this attempt worked in their favor as this removal makes for a comfortable experience and allows you to feel the full-length articulated air zoom unit directly under-foot; and I must say it is amazing.

Nike Lebron 17
Although the Lebron sneaker-line has been arguably the most consistent line Nike's ever created, it has also shown the biggest form of evolution and change over the years. From the Nike Zoom Generation 1, to the Lebron 8, and now the Lebron 17, each sneaker has revolutionized the game with it's unique identity and distinguished cushion setup. The biggest upgrade is the introduction of Nike's new knitposite upper. KnitPosite is basically a mixture of Flyknit construction and "pre-twisted", "heat-molded yarns" that form a swirled pattern. This results in the shoe being lighter, while still providing durability and support. From a perspective of aesthetics, nike assures that knitposite creation process allows each shoe to have a look that is "subtly one-of-a-kind".

Nike Adapt BB 2.0
After some rather dissapointing comments regarding the first model of the Nike Adapt BB sneaker-line, Nike went back to the drawing board to try and fulfill all of the features customers were yearning for in last year's edition. For the most part, Nike did it's job. However, Nike's self-lacing model is still considered by most as "overpriced" and "slightly underwhelming". On the contrary, Nike states that the Adapt's "Power laces lock you in at the press of a button—built into the shoe or controlled via smartphone. So, what do you think? will Nike discontinue the Adapt BB to save money and produce a fresh concept? or can they redeem themselves with a 3.0 version?
