Residing on a waffle sole and sporting mesh and canvas construction, the Nike Pre Montreal Racer harkens back to the early days of Beaverton brand running. A Black/Sail colorway is available now at Nike Store.

An unlikely cast came home with an ideal prize at the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics. Led by Jason Kidd, KG, The Glove, and Vinsanity, Team USA continued their winning ways by going a perfect 8-0 and grabbing the gold down under. From new technology to patriotic retros, America rocked it all and rocked it right. Find out who wore what in this installment of Roster Rewind.

In another example of senseless violence, three people were injured while camping out for the Air Jordan 7 ”Olympic” that dropped this weekend in Pennsylvania. The details of the incident are still pending, but we do know that a 17-year-old boy was being treated for a head wound, Joel Fernandez, 21, arrived at the hospital with a stab wound to his abdomen, and Christopher Vega, 19, of Hazleton was treated for stab wounds to his ribs and arm. Carlos Mejia, 19, of Hazleton, has been charged with the crimes after he was spotted with blood on his hands and the knife was found in a nearby garbage can.

Though its doesn’t need to be said, violence is never the answer. Stories like these are not the norm and should be prevented at all cost. Furthermore, it has yet to be confirmed if this act of senseless violence had  anything to do with the sneaker release, or a previous situation that erupted while those involved were camping out. Stay close to Nice Kicks and we will update you as more information is made available.

Some would say the Air Jordan 7 “Olympic” caused as many lines as it did yawns. Yes, there’s no denying the nostalgia and beauty of the Dream Team jewel, but what good is a jewel that isn’t precious? The third retro release in a less than eight-year span felt a tad too soon to some. That leads us to this request.

The Air Jordan 7 “Hare” is do for a re-retro. It’s 2008 release came with a package price tag and quality that has since been surpassed by JB. We’re buggin’ for this funky OG to return, bring ‘em back!
