Nice work with the Nike Juniper Trail 3!
The Juniper Trail 3 stands tall in Nike's catalog, paying homage to its heritage in redefining the running shoe segment back in the '70s. With fantastic support on uneven terrains and hilly inclines, you'll feel comfy on pavement too, thanks to the redesigned midsole featuring full-length foam construction. The revamped upper synergizes with a flexible mid-foot system for outstanding support and improved stability. We're digging this Summit White colorway with the jawbreaker-inspired soles.

Nike Gato LV8: Voguish Remix of Yesteryears
Nike has been slaying reissues, and the brand's street-ready Gato LV8 is no exception. Available in a Y2K-era look with metallic overlays on the textile upper, even extending to the Swoosh logo, these sneakers flaunt an eye-catching, retro vibe. Pairing shiny metallic tops with a brown gum sole may seem unconventional, but it keeps things interesting, my friends!

Nike Air Force 3 Low x NIGO Black and White: '80s Hip-hop worthy
Nike and multi-talented sensation NIGO teamed up again, inspired by '80s hip-hop culture, with '80s vinyl and turntable nods on these sleek AF3 Lows. The shoe sports full-length Nike Air cushioning but featuring sophisticated design elements that'll turn heads in your media room, if you ever take them off your display shelves.

Nike Victory Tour 4 Golf Shoes: Modernizing the green
Nike recently dropped these golf shoes with some kick-ass technology and a refined aesthetic. The innovative carbon fiber plate promises stiffness while swinging, flex when walking, and uppers crafted from supple full-grain leather with slight pebbling. They're currently in high demand, but we still want to recommend the non-BOA version in this North Carolina white-and-light blue colorway.

The Vaporfly 4: Speedster's Dream
Last month, Nike introduced the latest Vaporfly 4, boasting an impressive 13% reduction in weight compared to its predecessor. With a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate and ZoomX foam midsole, these lighter-than-feather runners promise a speedy stride. The cool kaleidoscope-graphic variant takes this to a whole new level, with a multi-colored shell that emulates motion and lumed details that glow in the dark - that's right, the first for Nike!

Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly "Big Head Mode"
Nike doesn't just slay on the cricket field - the brand's creative prowess shines in their sneaker offerings, like the Air Max 1 Low Poly "Big Head Mode" inspired by the N64 classic GoldenEye. With the tuxedo colorway, crosshair over a steel design on the insole, and a mock-rating on the inside of the tongue, you'll feel like 007 himself. These sneakers sold out within minutes but we still felt the urge to blast 'em out here.
