This rad commercial for the Nike Hypervenom II puts you in the shoes and head of Barcelona forward Neymar Jr. Be sure to watch it in Chrome or the YouTube mobile app. Keep looking around, there’s a lot going on in there.

Kevin Durant’s newest signature shoes are the first basketball shoes to have a Flyweave woven textile upper, as well as a full-length Zoom Air unit. We’re starting to fear for KD’s ankles. Drops 6/27 for $180; but it’s out for NikeID now.

Design student Milan Miladinov made this intricate model of the Nike Air Max 90 out of chocolate. We’re not sure if it’s life-size, but even if it isn’t, the details make it worth a look. The laces even appear to go through the holes.

Etsy shop Sickest Socks sells Nike Elite socks that have been printed with its original and outlandish designs, such as this hilariously mismatched pair featuring Jif peanut butter and Smucker’s grape jelly.

This Nike Air Max 90 is fully customizable with faux furs such as leopard, cheetah and zebra. If none of those take your fancy you can customize 15 different parts of your shoes with numerous colors, then add your name or personal tag.

Nike follows up its Waffle sole iPhone case with a new one for the iPhone 6 based on another classic shoe. The thick one-piece case is based on the outsole pattern of the Air Force 1 and is available in red or black.

The successor to the Sock Racer running shoe. The Socfly has a single Velcro strap in place of laces, a seamless mesh upper with Hyperfuse panels and the flexible Free 3.0 sole unit. Available in four colorways.

Nike looks back at MJ and Bugs’ 1992 commercial with two special editions of the Jordan 1 Mid. The 1 Mid Hare is silver, white and red while the 1 Mid Lola is brown, pink and white. Both have the Hare Jordan logo on their tongues.

The look of the past with the comfort of the present. The Lunar Dunk High Sherpa SP has a Lunarlon insole and a fleece lining, a leather and suede upper and a slimmer toe box than the Dunk High. Available in three colorways.

Nike drives the market with stylish clubs that will take you further than you thought possible. Their latest Vapor Speed Driver offers tremendous ball speed, a high quality shaft, easy forgiveness and a multitude of loft and ball flight combinations.

Their name is a mouthful, bet we still love Nike’s lightweight running shoe wrapped in GYAKUSOU’s distorted camo print and Flywire cables to fit your feet like a glove. Drops at NikeLab locations on 2/19/15.

Nike’s upcoming SNKRS app for iOS and Android will help save U.S. customers from long lines and scalpers. Stay on top of new drops and purchase shoes directly from the app. Adidas will also have a similar app but only for NYC residents.

Just as it did with its new cross trainers, the Nike SB Free skateboarding shoe inherits the Free’s flexible outsole and lightweight construction, while the suede and mesh upper and thick rubber sidewall ensures the shoe stays tough.

The Metcon 1 combines the durability of cross-trainers with the light weight of running shoes. Its toe is close to the ground for stability, it has a flexible outsole and a high rubber midsole for extra protection. Drops 1/31/15.

Nike honors athletes of African descent who stand up for their race and their rights as individuals with the Black History Month collection. Part of the proceeds (why not all of ’em Nike?) will go to charity. Drops 1/17/15.
