Charles Barkley's Nike Air Force 180 made a surprise nike court royale returns late last year in some surprisingly stylish colorways. While we cherish the original Olympic and black/red/blue looks, the more lifestyle-focused olive and khaki versions suggested an off-the-court look that shed new light on this early 1990s classic. Now, Nike is delivering the shoes in clean tonal black upper with speckled white midsoles for yet another impressive option for fans of Barkley to get their hands on.

There's already a gold and silver, so it makes total sense to round out the metallic trio and release a bronze colorway of the Nike Air Max 97. That's coming much sooner than expected because this "Metallic Red Bronze" colorway of last year's prominent Air Max retro is set to drop on January 11th overseas. It features a metallic finish of the darker reddish hue nikedownshifter and a tan/brown upper nylon, while the black interior, consistent with the "Silver Bullet" and "Metallic Gold", to finish off the look.

This particular version features special Air Max Day insoles that depict the March 26th date alongside the white, teal, and black color palette.

Nike is gearing up to add another silhouette to its expansive performance arsenal -; the Epic React running shoe. Aesthetically, this new running silhouette sports a unique heel design that sticks out past the model's upper, creating a small ledge that surrounds this offering's heel.

Its heel tab also comes equipped with "Epic React" branding emblazoned in a similar type face to the upcoming Air Max 270 design. The Swoosh's React technology is designed with nike dunk energy-responsive cushioning in mind that is engineered to push athletes further and perform under pressure in any circumstance. The Epic React is likely what's next in the Swoosh's LunarEpic line as the brand looks to shift toward its more innovative React technology. No official information has surfaced regarding a drop of the Nike Epic React, but stay tuned to Sneaker News for updates and better images as they become available.
