Nike LunarEpic Flyknit Revealed - 8 Colorways
Mar 3, 2016, by Pat
Just over two years ago, Nike unveiled a completely novel concept to the world of football boots, the 'Dynamic Fit' heightened collar. Having made big strides in the cleat game since, both by expanding to more and more Nike models and by inspiring the competition, the collar is here to stay. Later today, the Swoosh will unveil the all-new LunarEpic Flyknit running shoe, the first of its kind to feature the collar.

This is the all-new Nike LunarEpic running shoe.
Design-wise, the new Nike LunarEpic shoe will come in bold and striking colorways, which will see the eye-catching sole set off in white. The lateral Nike Swoosh is black.
The style of the collar on the Nike LunarEpic shoes appears very similar to that used on the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV football boots, while the overall look with the huge sole slightly resembles that of the MagistaX Proximo.
Other than the hightop collar, the all-new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit running shoes feature a Flyknit upper, while the second standout feature is the thick sole. Taken from the -also unreleased- new Nike LunarGlide 8 shoes, it's designed to bring improved cushioning and a barefoot-like feel. Also like known from the Mercurial, an internal heel counter appears to be present to protect the heel area.
The new Nike LunarEpic Flyknit trainers will be launched as early as March 3, with an initial offering of eight colorways.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
