nike shoes for summer 2015

Nike and Liberty reprise their longstanding partnership for Spring/Summer 2015, ushering in a new collection of apparel and footwear. The release is based around Liberty’s exclusive “Merlin” print, originally produced by Liberty for a silk scarf in 1972. Sneaker offerings include collaborative editions of the Air Max Thea, Air Rift, Air Max 90, Cortez, Tennis Classic and Zenji silhouettes, for a balanced selection of classic and progressive models. For the apparel component, Nike elected to add in a windbreaker jacket, cap and T-shirt, continuing the use of the colorful and geometric “Merlin” print throughout. /sportswear, while full availability of the collection starts May 15.

Nike N7 recently announced their new Summer 2015 collection and it is inspired by the tradition of playing basketball on Native lands. A love of basketball unites Native American and Aboriginal communities and provides a steady pulse that resonates from court to court and generation to generation. The popularity of the sport among Native youth continues to rise, as they set the stage to move their generation and inspire the next. Nike N7 is celebrating their seventh anniversary this year and to honor the occasion they are teaming up with three Jordan Brand footwear styles: the Air Jordan 1 Low N7, Air Jordan 7 Retro N7 and the Jordan Super Fly 3 PO N7 (also in kids’ sizes).

A fresh pair of sneakers is a pretty good way to start off spring. Here are a few we fully recommended.
nike shoes 80 discount Nike Roshe Run Breeze White/Wolf Grey: Lightweight, modern, and simple---these bad boys will go with anything. Nike Air Pegasus '83 Woven: A really cool retro style sneaker with suede overlays throughout. Nike 2015 Spring/Summer Air Huarache Light: Dig this look completely and the three different color combos provide a whole lot of options. fragment design x Nike Hyperchase "Dark Obsidian": A really unique and almost futuristic look manages to stand out from other sneakers without being obnoxious. Nike MetCon 1: Even those these are more athletic-focused than some of the other looks listed here, these would look just as good with a tee and jeans as they would in the gym. Nike Air Pegasus 83 Pigskin Leather "Squadron Blue": Gloriously vintage, blue pigskin leather with contrasting white Nike logo are flat out perfect and will look solid with any kind of weekend look.

fragment design Sock Dart "Obsidian": Loving the no laces slip-on look and have a feeling this style is gonna stick around for quite a bit. Nike Free Viritous: An all-black look that's hyper modern and sleek as can be. Nike Air Stab "Hot Lava": The color pops here in every possible way. It's based off an 80's look and has some killer style to it.Running is a simple (and cheap) way to keep fit, as well as a great mood lifter – scientific studies say a 30 minute workout five days a week will help keep you happy and less stressed. But whether you’re a beginner or have been running for years, a good-quality pair of running trainers is essential to help you reap the benefits of your efforts, rather than cause yourself an injury. Gait analysis is a popular method to help pick the pair for you, with specialist retailers offering the service in store. It involves someone watching you run and measuring your degree of pronation (how your foot moves). Under-pronation means your foot rolls outwards, over-pronation means they roll inwards and neutral-pronation is when there is minimal rolling.

If you’re a neutral-pronator you can wear a wide variety of trainers, while under- and over-pronators need to look for ones with more cushioning and support. Questions have been raised about the effectiveness of gait analysis on reducing injury though. While useful, the distinct categories do not work for everyone and it’s important to check your feet feel comfortable and supported in your new pair too – you shouldn’t notice your trainers as you run. We’ve been busy testing a wide variety of women’s trainers to find out which ones are worth buying. You should aim to replace them after 300 to 550 miles, depending on how hard you land on your heels and wear through them. Expect to pay £80-150 for a good-quality pair and, unfortunately for us girls, colour options can be limited, often rather annoyingly to pink and purple. But style aside, performance is the most important factor and we’ve found eight that really excel. 1. Merrell All Out Crush Light: £90, Merrell

Outdoor adventure brand Merrell has a range of trail shoes to help you run across any terrain. We love this green pair (pink and purple are available too) for their lightweight and versatile build. You won’t notice you’re wearing them and as your foot hits the ground the springy sole will give you an energy boost to help you onto the next step. Great across mixed terrain and wet or dry ground, these are an all-rounder when it comes to running trainers. We even played a few sports in them too. You don’t get sweaty feet or damp socks in rainy weather and Merrell gets bonus points for making them vegan friendly. Designed for long-distance running, these trainers are extremely comfortable. There’s lots of cushioning thanks to Asics’ FlyteFoam midsole, which also absorbs the initial impact of your foot hitting the ground well, making you feel stable and balanced while running. Because of this protection, they’re a good option for city runners or those who prefer to pound the pavement over softer grass or fields (although they do well here too).

Built for a neutral-pronator, they didn’t feel heavy to run in or weigh our feet down. There’s a blue and yellow style available too but both designs are bright and reflective, meaning they can easily be seen on darker runs. They’re a well-designed pair that’s worth the investment. 3. New Balance Vazee Prism V2: £95, New Balance This entry from New Balance is designed to help those who over-pronate or need a little extra support. Available in two styles – pink and grey being the other option – they win immediate points for style and were our favourite looks-wise. But they didn’t disappoint when it came to performance either. Firstly, they were the lightest we tested – we barely noticed we were wearing them, making running smooth and easy. They’re also well cushioned so your foot doesn’t feel the full force of hitting the ground. Designed for speed, they’re better for short to mid-distance runs. We also played a few sports in them and they stood up to change of pace and stopping and starting well.

4. Brooks Women’s Ravenna 8 Running Shoe: £115, Brooks Running Running specialist Brooks has created an excellent shoe with its latest Ravenna design. Although the colour options are a little disappointing their performance more than made up for it. They’re a comfortable fit that has enough cushioning for support but not too much it affects your run. You’re unlikely to notice you’re wearing them as they are lightweight and support your natural movement, with a springy toe-off to give your stride some power. This pair is a safe purchase for keen runners who want to continue to clock up the miles. 5. Salomon XA Enduro: £122.95, Trekk Inn Now here’s a trainer for the serious cross-country runner. Purpose built for hard-core terrain and wet and muddy weather, they’re not for those who are just doing the odd run here or there. These trainers provide an extremely stable run – the grip was excellent, even in puddles, and you could maintain a steady pace through muddy fields too.

You use the drawstring fastening around the ankle (rather than laces) when putting on, resulting in your feet staying dry whatever you run through – make sure you’re wearing socks that cover your ankles though to stop any blisters forming (we learnt the hard way). The only negative is that they are heavy; you can feel them as you move which becomes increasingly more noticeable the longer you run for. Size-wise they come out on the small side, so go up half a size if you’re unsure. If you like going off the beaten track though, these should be top of your list. 6. Saucony Triumph ISO 3: £135, Saucony Designed for a neutral foot and road or track surfaces, this is another good option for city dwellers. They are super springy, so you feel like you’re given extra power when you run and they absorb shock from your foot hitting the road well. The cushioning provides comfort and support (no blisters, even after a long first run) but they aren’t waterproof – our feet started to feel a bit damp after a particularly wet and windy outing.

If you’re serious about clocking up the miles and getting fit though, these are a safe option. 7. Adidas Supernova Sequence 9 Shoes: £49.97, Adidas These were trialled on the frozen, winter roads of London and we couldn’t fault the grip. There was no slipping or sliding and we felt stable and supported throughout our runs – even across precarious icy patches of pavement. They are cushioned too, making them comfy to wear and keeping the risk of blisters to a minimum (although we did only test them on mid-distance runs). You do feel a certain degree of bounce as you move which gives you additional energy – Adidas says this is because of its “Boost” technology which uses energy capsules in the cushioning – and the reflective sides are good for evening sessions. They’re a snug fit though and a little heavier than others we tested. But for the price, they’re a great pair to help you achieve your fitness goals. 8. Puma Women’s Speed 600 Ignite Running Shoes: £89.99, Puma

Another safe option for those who run regularly is this pair from Puma. They’re a comfy ride with good grip, making winter running easier. The cushioning and build provide enough support (just make sure you’re wearing proper running socks) and you feel stable as you run. We thought they were also a good option for playing sport in. At under £100, they’re great value. 9. Nike Lunar Epic Low 2 Running Shoe: £130, Nike You can always rely on Nike when it comes to buying reliable running trainers. It’s engineered some brilliant designs in the past and this latest pair for women is no different. They’re lightweight, breathable and provide a stable run. Teamed with great comfort and cushioning, these shoes are a safe option for any budding runners. We played other sports in them too and found they were supportive when it came to changing pace or direction quickly. Buy from end of February The Verdict: Women’s running shoes For light and versatile trainers, our top pick is the vegan pair from Merrell.
