Bandaholics rejoice for theJuan&Only is back yet again with a fresh new band review! This time,
due to popular demand, im bringing you all the brand new Fall 2023 Nike Sport bands
and lemme just say, it seems the reception to all of the nike bands has been extremely
positive. I just reviewed the brand new 2023 nike sport loops, so in case you missed it,
ill attach a card at the top right. For this style, we were blessed with 6 ALL new colors
and each of these bands is distinct in the sense that the little flakes scattered around each band
is completely randomized effectively making every single band unique and one-of-a-kind. On top of
that , This band contains at least 32% recycled fluoroelastomer, with each flake containing
at least 66% recycled fluoroelastomer. Idk, some people really hate the flakes,
some love them . I happen to fall in the latter camp, but before we start guys in case you’re new,
make sure to stick around until the end of the video for rules on how to enter my official fall
2023 band giveaway! You can have a chance at snagging one of these all new nike sport bands
completely free just by participating! And finally, keep your eyes peeled as somewhere
scattered throughout this video is a hidden band. The first 2 people who spot it and comment
the correct timestamp will win entries into an ADDITIONAL live giveaway , yak how we do it over
here I just like spreading the love so without wasting any more time, lets get right into it.
*intro*
Alright alright band enthusiasts and band lovers, here they are,
the 6 all new slightly re-designed nike sport bands. Apple and Nike went all in this time
around as im a massive fan of the redesigned sport loops and also the flakes on these new
nike sport bands. Its such a small touch but it makes a massive difference. A weird
tid-bit but if you notice, all of our pins are now aluminum and they appear lighter,
which looks a bit weird at times vs what us bandaholics are used to. & ofc, some of you all
may be getting de ja vu, and that’s because some of these colors are actually re-released colors,
only this time adding those flakes. & the main and most obvious culprit of this is Magic Ember.
The original magic ember band released in the fall of 2021 and here they are side by side. So as you
can see, they look nearly identical except for the flakes but also the newer aluminum pin. Ehh,
I much prefer the stainless steel pin but it’s a small deatil although,
worth mentioning. Another thing is that apple no longer lists the color names
for this style of band as Color A/ Color B like they previously did. So in essence,
we don’t know the secondary color of these new bands but we can assume they will be colors from
their clothing like so you can much up the drip. The specs on this specific band range from whites,
to blues, to yellows and some people are wondering whether the specs fall off and the answer is no.
They are molded alongside the flourolastomer so the specs will stay in tact. Overall,
I really like the twist here on magic ember but do be warned, this was already a bright band and
now it’s even spunkier do to those randomized flakes, so if you don’t like bright bands that
ask for a lot of attention, then this band may not be for you. I do gotta give it a cool 7.7/10.
Up next is midnight sky, a curious amalgam of starry dark sky colors,
peppered in with some lighter flakes to create a starry kind of ambiance. I really dig this
band for it’s simplistic take on a dark band. Our secondary color that is no longer named is
this dark grey mixed with some browns, this creates a compelling complimenting duo when
seen from afar on the perforations themselves. Our colored flakes here consist of whites,
dark greys and some lighter minty greens. I love what apple has been doing lately with
their darker bands, throwing a small twist in their that gives each band a
distinct personality and it is why I rate this midnight sky band at a cool 8.5/10.
Alright chugging right along we have pure platinum. A re-released color now with
this massive colorful twist. This seems to be the only band in this new lineup to feature
color’d flakes comprising most of the colors you’d find on a color wheel. You got it all,
reds oranges, yellows, greens blues purples and with this lighter color, the brighter aluminum
pin is actually bumpin on this specific band. Our predominant color is this off white that has maybe
like 2% greys thrown in there. It’s certainly not white as that is the secondary color that
accents our porfirations and the backside of the band. Pure platinum was already a staple
within the band collecting community, and now it has mega evolved thanks to the beautiful array
of multicolored specs. This band honestly could even be mistaken as a pride band . In any case,
this is a tier A band and it comes in hot with a solid 9.0/10 a truly spectacular band.
Up next is my least favorite of this bunch and that is cargo khaki, and the thing is I LOVEEE
my dark olive green colors but idk if this is just my specific band since technically all are unique,
but mine BARELY got on of the flakes, which speaking of consist of blue and
even darker pine green specs and do more of a complimenting job rather than a contrasting
kind of feel. Our predominant color is this rich and subtle dark green colr while our underside
and proforations consist of a very dark navy. See idk, this one just isn’t as spunky to me,
not to mention apple has released a variety of dark green bands just like this before and they’re
starting to get a little stale in my opinion. On the bright side, this color pairs well with just
about any color apple watch so I guess that’s cool. Im not saying I don’t like this band,
it gets a passing grade from at a 7.1/10, I just wish it had more pizzazz you know what I mean?
Alright band lovers we’re nearing the end but now lets switch gears from my least favorite band,
to my favorite of this batch and that hands down has to go to desert stone. Like,
whats not to like here? Just like its name implies, the predominant color consists of
this gorgeous tan color that features slight elements of pink sand and a tiny hint of grey.
The color’d specs are what elevate this band into tier “S” territory, thanks to its contrasting
nature with deep purple, dark navy , oranges and peachy kind of colors to create a stunning
band. Our secondary color is this dark brown color that seems to also be mixed with plenty
of grays. This band pairs extremely well with the starlight aluminum apple watch,
the apple watch ultra as well as the ceramic apple watch . Again, ill say it over and over,
apple please bring back ceramic, my credit card is ready . Anyway, with this being my favorite
of this batch, I gotta give it superb rating at a nice 9.6/10, I just love it that much !
& last but certainly not least is blue flame. Not only does it have a
kickass name but it has so many great qualities going for it. So clearly,
here, we have a contrasting duo. Our predominant color is this rich dark blue
that is accented by a bright orange underside that allow those perforations to really pop.
Additionally , the flake pattern is also pretty gnarly here as it throws in blues, light pinks,
peach orange colors, and the occasional white flake. This one is a close second for me,
not far behind the dessert stone, and reminds me of the reception the game royal and orange
nike sport loop received. Its got the same blue on orange action going and im here for it. This band
deserves to be the Tier A category coming in at a nice 9.2/10 , a very great and memorable band.
