Up There Debuts ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Natsukashii Pt 2”

Up There and ASICS have reintroduced their “Natsukashii” series with the second installment of the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 in “Glacier Grey.”

The silhouette refines the sporty-but-not-too-sporty aspect of the silhouette’s proportions while retaining the glossy patent overlays and rich red accents set against its crisp white base, reminiscent of Prada’s elegant America’s Cup sneaker.

Mesh accents are inspired by the GEL-KAYANO 20 and give a subtle nod to the running culture that helped build Australia’s sneaker identity. The green Up There logo shines on the guidance line, while pops of Signal Red underfoot give an extra pop of contrast.

Each pair will include a set of two different laces and a premium co-branded box.

Early access is available now to first colorway owners on UpThere.com, and will drop in store on October 24th and online on October 27th at 8AM AEDT.

Nike Book 1 “Aurora” Releases November 2025

UPDATE 10/24/25: Official photos of the “Aurora” Book 1 have been added below. Expect a release on November 7th, 2025.

Original Story 10/14/25:
The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” is a showstopper thanks to a Court Purple upper and iridescent Swoosh.

A nod to the northern lights, the color-shifting logo blinks in hues of pink, gold and blue–adding an otherworldly sheen to Devin Booker’s first signature shoe.

The Book 1 is a signature line that Nike is expanding with further storytelling. This shoe is a prime example with breathable mesh and durable leather overlays. A blend of both materials, they provide a winning combination of style and performance. The FlyEase-adjustable bootie silhouette and bold color scheme is offset by the cool tones of a Sail midsole and outsole.

Moving to the interior, supportive performance tech ensures it’s a sneaker that’s always game-ready. Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole and TPU sidewalls ensure plush comfort and on-cushion support.

The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” releases November 7, 2025, and will cost $145 USD at Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retail partners.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Realtree” Now Available (October 2025)

UPDATE 10/24/25: The “Realtree” Air Force 1 is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/30/25:
Nike continues its outdoors-inspired streak with the Air Force 1 Low “Realtree,” updated for Fall 2025. The brand revisits its camo-driven theme, expanding the lineup to three pairs, now including this edition anchored by a gum yellow sole.

Whereas the darker Realtree version is a lot more subdued, this pair leans heavily into the woodsy theme. Opting for full camo textile uppers instead of the traditional leather, the combination of muddy browns and greens creates an edgier feel to the shoe. The gum midsole tones further emphasize the autumn-ready vibe. The rope-style laces with splashes of burgundy help to break things up without going too far.

The AF1 has always been a testing ground for new ideas, so this Realtree edition feels almost organic. That balance of streetwear and function is what keeps the silhouette evolving, well over four decades later. Fans who missed previous Realtree releases will likely be marking their calendars for this one.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Realtree” releases October 24, 2025, through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $125 USD.

Nike Mind 001 “Black” Redefines Everyday Slip-On Innovation

Nike debuts another iteration of lifestyle comfort with the all-new Nike Mind 001 “Black”.

Inspired by both futuristic research and its foothold in the streetwear crowd, the new slip-on is just the latest in Nike’s mission of rethinking ergonomics.

The molded one-piece upper comes in a smooth black finish, complete with perforations and a streamlined Chrome Swoosh. The standout feature underfoot is the hyper crimson podded outsole that juxtaposes the upper while maximizing cushioning and flexibility. The multi-textured sole and minimal aesthetic mirror some of Nike’s more eccentric offerings, such as the ISPA line, and show that Nike’s design studio has no qualms with bending design rules.

The new shoes arrive in a unique “Nike Mind” box that features conceptual art paying homage to the project’s research background.

The Nike Mind 001 “Black” drops in January 2026 on Nike.com and at select retailers for $95 USD.

Flip up the layer to see the classic Max tongue adorned with a black-and-silver badge. Underneath, the black midsole features icy blue Air bubbles and houses the model’s Big Bubble cushioning.

Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” Releases Holiday 2025

UPDATE 10/24/25: Official photos of the “Loyal Blue” Air Max 95 Zip have been added below. A release is expected during Holiday 2025.

Original Story 10/7/25:
The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is bringing back a cult-favorite twist from the early 2000s. Originally released in 2001 as a women’s exclusive, this early Air Max 95 iteration was a forward-thinking experiment that introduced a zip-up futuristic shroud marrying performance style and sleek fashion-forward sensibilities. It’s now coming back as part of Nike’s 2025 Air Max lineup.

The reissue features the full Loyal Blue suede overlays, which are wrapped in a form-fitting synthetic shroud that zips over the laces at the top. Details of Bright Crimson pop up at the mini Swoosh and visible Air units, while the deep chocolate-hued Max Air unit forms a clean contrast. The reissue also preserves the split Air Max logo on the tongue, a distinguishing detail from the original silhouette.

In comparison to the early-2000s model which utilized copious amounts of leather, this retro primarily employs premium suede and neoprene for a more contemporary approach. It’s a welcome change — the texture adds lifestyle cred, while still retaining the shoe’s futuristic swagger. The visible Air cushioning and chunky build echo elements that make Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 DNA a design mainstay after almost three decades.

The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is set to release Holiday 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is expected to be $210 USD.

Nike Air Max Plus “Doernbecher” by Sergio Cano Marquez Brings Imagination To Life

Nike’s Doernbecher Freestyle program is back, once again honoring bravery and imagination in collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

This time around, the remixer is Sergio Cano Marquez, who was born with mucopolysaccharidosis type IV A, and he’s bringing a world of imagination to the Air Max Plus.

A dark, video-game-infused design on one shoe tells the story of Sergio’s passion for drawing on the right, while the other is splashed with all sorts of vivid cartoon monsters chomping on pizza in front of a bright New York City skyline. The split design and overall execution gives the silhouette a cartoonish and storybook vibe that’s unique within the Air Max family.

Heartfelt personal touches, including his name on the heel of one shoe and “MPS” on the opposite, make this one more than a style statement.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Doernbecher” will be available early 2026 for $180 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Palace x Nike Total 90 III Releases Holiday 2025

Nike and adidas might jab at each other all day, but what Palace just did by making the leap from the Three Stripes to the Swoosh is a new way to engage in battle. On the side of the sneaker culture arms race, the importance of the skatewear–sportswear connection has been a completely new ballgame because Nike’s history and longstanding relationship with Supreme is so deep. With Palace x Nike Total 90 III leading the pack for their first-ever collection for Holiday 2025, the long-rumored collaboration is now a go.

Totally reworked, these Total 90 III trainers worn by football icons including Wayne Rooney arrive in a clean White, Metallic Silver, and Volt colourway. The combination of smooth white leather with quilted stitching across the toe, contrasted by a chrome medial panel, lends the silhouette a futuristic retro look. Bright Volt accents are scattered across the outsole, Swoosh, and heel branding adding that signature Nike Football flavour Palace are known for reinventing.

The best part? This isn’t a standalone release. A Palace x Nike clothing capsule that mirrors the shoe’s Volt-highlighted color scheme, made up of tees, tracksuits, and shorts, accompanies the release. While we patiently await the elusive Air Max DN8 that Palace has been teasing, the Total 90 III with its rich heritage and modern flair, has no problem stealing the show.

The Palace x Nike Total 90 III will drop Holiday 2025 at Palace Skateboards, select retailers, and Nike.com.

Inside, a soft foam midsole provides cushy support for daily or court use.

FIRST LOOK: LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 “Black Patent”

Nike Basketball’s crossover with the Air Force 1 continues its strong run, this time enlisting LeBron James for a luxe reinterpretation. After Kobe Bryant’s Air Force 1 Low Protro revival and Ja Morant’s logo-teased pairs, LeBron adds his own royal twist to the franchise.

The LeBron James Air Force 1 “Black Patent” is a luxe take on the classic silhouette. Black patent leather uppers sit alongside polished tonal stitching and gold crown-embellished details inspired by James’ King James moniker. The subtle personal touches in the form of metallic lace dubrae and LeBron-branded heel tabs pay homage to James’ King James moniker.

Inside, Nike has swapped the classic star-shaped traction for a radial-floral design, a detail that ties into evolution and growth. LeBron has also taken a traditional basketball silhouette and elevated it, reinventing it in his own way, year after year. The LeBron James Air Force 1 “Black Patent” debuts in a black box with crown graphic.

The LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 “Black Patent” will be available at select retailers and Nike.com in December 2025. Retail price will be $200 USD.

FIRST LOOK: PSG x Air Jordan 6 “Metallic Silver”

Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain have extended their partnership, with the Air Jordan 6 PSG arriving in 2026 as part of the 35th anniversary of the Jordan 6. Coming on the heels of the Air Jordan 5 PSG dropping later this year, Jordan and PSG are continuing their relationship through 2026 and the Air Jordan 6, bringing one of Jordan’s most iconic sneakers into a revamped, metallic future.

Dropping in Spring 2026, the new Air Jordan 6 PSG arrives in a dressier, metallic colorway as expected. Shiny silver leather makes up the entire upper with tonal overlays, while white and pure platinum accents and details appear throughout the midsole and heel. Finished with a sleek heel tab and clean toebox, the combination of high-end materials and classic design cues exude luxury and performance, a nod to both Parisian style and Jordan Brand’s DNA.

Though we don’t know for sure, the shoe will likely come with Paris Saint-Germain branding and custom insoles, though we’ll have to wait to see the full packaging and insole art to be sure. The PSG-specific Eiffel Tower crest replaces the Jumpman heel branding on this sneaker to symbolize the storied connection between the Jumpman and PSG brands around the world.

The Paris Saint-Germain x Air Jordan 6 is the third edition of the Air Jordan 6 for Paris Saint-Germain, following the 2019 fan-favorite Infrared colorway and a low-top release in 2023. In each drop, the PSG have leaned into their tailored, fashion-forward approach while Jordan’s have been able to combine sport and style seamlessly.

Air Jordan 6 PSG Release Date

The PSG x Air Jordan 6 “Metallic Silver” releases Spring 2026 at Jordan Brand retail stores and Nike.com for $215 USD.

Nike Air Max 95000 Pushes 3D Printing Into The Future

Nike is once again redefining innovation with the Air Max 95000, a futuristic leap for 3D-printed sneakers. Building on the success of the Air Max 1000, this next chapter continues the brand’s collaboration with Zellerfeld, merging digital manufacturing with Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 DNA.

The outlined aesthetics of the silhouette’s muscular lines take inspiration from the original 1995 model and have been reimagined as a fully 3D-printed lattice construction. Bold Black and Volt colorway calls back to the seminal “Volt” Air Max 95. The one-of-a-kind look combined performance tech with nostalgic design elements of the original. The upper and midsole were seamlessly printed from the same TPU material, with no glue or stitching required.

All eyes are on the Project Nectar outsole. Project Nectar is a flexible and durable outsole created to optimize performance in one piece. The outsole alone takes ten minutes to print, while the entire sneaker requires roughly two full days to complete, underscoring the complexity behind its design.

The Nike Air Max 95000 launches in limited quantities during ComplexCon’s Mad Stadium activation, with a wider Zellerfeld release on Black Friday, November 28th, priced at $250 USD.

That combination of legacy and forward thinking proves Nike’s 3D-printed future isn’t just hype—it’s the next Air Max revolution.
