Nike’s Classic Ultra is its low key answer to the Stan Smiths, but now it’s got its own style. The retro tennis shoe is modernized and should be a lot lighter and more comfortable with its knitted upper.

While it’s a few months later than Back to the Future predicted, Nike’s first real self-lacing shoe looks far more stylish and contemporary. A sensor in the heel triggers the adjustable laces when you step in. The HyperAdapt 1.0 will be available to Nike+ members for holiday 2016.

Kobe Bryant’s last pre-retirement signature shoe is bound to get a million colorways, but we think we’re going to go for this one. The 4KB features a white knit upper spiked with multicolored threads, as well as leather swooshes. Drops 3/14/16 for $220.

Classic basketball shoes look nice, but let’s face it, they’re clunky and heavy. Nike solves that problem by updating the Air Force 1 with a fully knit one-piece upper and a foam-injected midsole. The result is a shoe that’s 50% lighter than the original.

The Metcon 2 is as light, grippy and stable as the original, but it has an extra cushioning on the heel area for a more snug and comfortable fit. Larger abrasive-resistant patches and a heel bumper enhance its durability.

Whoever’s in charge of naming stuff at Nike screwed up, but these pseudo-running shoes look good. They’re like pudgier Air Prestos. They have mesh uppers for comfort and Flyknit and plastic heel pieces for support. Available in all white or all black.
