Diana Taurasi’s Nike LeBron 9 PE Set to Release in 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is digging back into the LeBron James archive for a release tied closely to Diana Taurasi and Phoenix.

The black and purple Nike LeBron 9 PE originally made for Taurasi is expected to make its retail debut during NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. The colorway was one of several exclusive LeBron models Taurasi wore throughout her career, but this pair was never available to the public.

Black covers most of the shoe, while purple accents connect the look to Taurasi’s years with the Phoenix Mercury. The release comes after Phoenix retired her No. 3, adding another chapter to her long relationship with Nike and LeBron James’ signature line.

Taurasi regularly received special LeBron colorways during her playing days, many of which remained true player exclusives. This release will give fans their first chance to own one of the more recognizable pairs from that run.

It also brings the LeBron 9 back into the spotlight. Nike last reissued the silhouette in 2022, making this the first new LeBron 9 release in nearly five years.

The Diana Taurasi Nike LeBron 9 PE is expected to release February 19, 2027, during NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. Retail price is set at $250.

Sneaker Talk: Air Jordan 10 “Double Nickel”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 10 “Double Nickel” takes us back to one of Michael Jordan’s biggest moments after returning to the NBA in 1995.

The nickname comes from Jordan’s 55-point game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on March 28, 1995. He had only recently returned from retirement and was still wearing No. 45 at the time, which is why that number is embroidered near the ankle on this pair.

That detail is one of the main things that separates the “Double Nickel” from the standard retail versions of the Air Jordan 10 “Chicago.” The No. 45 had originally been seen on player-exclusive pairs made for Jordan, making the 2015 release feel much closer to what he actually wore during that stretch.

Released in March 2015, the shoe also brought back the familiar white, black, and red color scheme tied to the original “Chicago” look. Compared to the 2012 retro, the “Double Nickel” was viewed as a closer match to the 1995 version in terms of shape, materials, and smaller details.

Twenty years after that night at Madison Square Garden, Jordan Brand used the release to celebrate one of the first major performances of MJ’s comeback.

For anyone still looking to add a pair to the collection, the Air Jordan 10 “Double Nickel” can still be found through resale marketplaces like StockX.

adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Bliss Blue” Releases September 2026

Anthony Edwards brought the adidas AE 3 with him to Manila for his “Believe That” Tour, and the “Bliss Blue” pair was the one that got the attention. It gave fans an early look at one of the first colorways expected to release on his third signature shoe.

The upper is mostly mesh, with molded TPU pieces placed along the sides for support. Those overlays give the AE 3 its sharp look and are one of the biggest changes from the AE 2.

Blue covers nearly the whole shoe, just in a few different shades. The mesh comes in lighter tones, while the molded pieces have a brighter finish that stands out more. Edwards’ logo is on the tongue, and adidas branding shows up around the heel.

Hyperboost cushioning is used underfoot, along with a midfoot plate for extra response on court. The outsole comes in a semi-translucent blue finish that matches the rest of the shoe.

adidas AE 3 Bliss Blue Release Date

The adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Bliss Blue” is expected to release September 15, 2026 through adidas Basketball retailers and adidas.com for $130. Check out the official photos below.

Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” Returns August 29th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” is officially returning for Fall 2026, more than a decade after its last release. The sneaker, originally released in 2003 before making a comeback in 2015, is one of the most beloved colorways of the Jordan 8. This cool toned color palette perfectly fuses the early-2000s nostalgia of the AJ 8s retro silhouette with the premium materials and fit that modern Jordans are made of.

In true Air Jordan 8 fashion, the upcoming retro will come equipped with a high quality black nubuck upper with chrome colored hardware on the strap buckles and midsole. Shades of grey will also be used for the chenille tongue logo and mudguard accents. As for the trademark details, there will also be the classic cross straps and perforated overlays to inject the shoe with the signature ’90s hype that is synonymous with the Air Jordan 8. Every element on the “Chrome” colorway pays homage to the OG AJ 8s that helped Michael Jordan win his third consecutive NBA championship in 1993.

Although it was not an original colorway for the Air Jordan 8, these “Chrome” 8s quickly gained a cult following in the years since they first hit the market for their clean and timeless aesthetic that can be dressed up or down to complement just about any streetwear or court look. The 2026 reissue of the “Chrome” 8s comes more accurate to the OG in both fit and shape.

Air Jordan 8 Chrome 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 8 “Chrome” is set to release August 29, 2026 at select Jordan Brand retailers and SNKRS for $215 USD. Check out the official photos below.

De’Aaron Fox Reveals the Under Armour Fox 3 in Baltimore

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Sneaker media were out at Under Armour’s Baltimore headquarters getting an early look at the Fox 3. It’s De’Aaron Fox’s third signature shoe, but the first one to come directly from Under Armour after the first two released through Curry Brand.

The Fox 3 was first seen during the 2026 NBA Playoffs and keeps Flow cushioning and traction at the center of the setup. Under Armour changed the sole with a more segmented design, while the grip remains built around Fox’s quick cuts, hard stops, and bursts of speed. Rubber-outsole versions are also planned for outdoor play, though those pairs may arrive after the standard Flow releases.

Fox wanted the third model to stay low to the ground while improving security, containment, and overall weight. The finished shoe comes in around 11.5 ounces, making it the first entry in his signature series to weigh less than a pound. Bold color options and Flow traction were also among the features he wanted to carry into the new design.

The familiar midfoot strap from the first two Fox models is gone this time around. Instead of keeping it as a functional piece, the design uses graphics around the midfoot to reference the look without adding extra material. The change also gives the Fox 3 a cleaner shape for anyone wearing the shoe away from the court.

The debut “Gamer” colorway uses a light blue base with black detailing and a black-to-pink gradient running across the midsole. More pairs are already lined up, including the “Arctic Fox” and “Future Fox.” Under Armour has also created Team Bank versions for sponsored college programs, along with a Black/Cyber Green edition for players taking part in the Baltimore Next City Classic on August 15.

The Under Armour Fox 3 “Gamer” releases September 4, 2026, followed by the “Arctic Fox” on September 18 and the “Future Fox” on October 2. Adult pairs will retail for $125, while kids’ sizing will be priced at $100.

Nike Giannis Freak 8 “Etched in Stone” Releases August 21st

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Giannis Freak 8 “Etched in Stone” takes one of the more recognizable patterns from Giannis Antetokounmpo’s signature line and pushes it across nearly the entire shoe. Black and white swirls cover the upper and continue onto the outsole, giving the Freak 8 a marble-like finish that traces back to a similar graphic used on the Zoom Freak 4.

Instead of carrying that pattern through the whole design, the midsole switches to solid black and uses lighter veining for a different stone effect. The change helps separate the upper from the tooling without dropping the theme altogether. Small metallic gold Swooshes sit along the side panels, while lime green appears in smaller doses on the heel, tongue, and sections of the outsole.

The marble treatment has already shown up in more than one form on the Freak 8. Giannis was seen earlier this summer wearing a lighter version built around a mostly white marble look. That colorway has not been confirmed for a retail release, but it gives a look at another variation Nike has prepared around the same concept.

Giannis’ eighth signature model continues a line that has regularly mixed performance basketball details with louder graphics and personal themes. For the “Etched in Stone” edition, the black-and-white pattern does most of the visual work, with the gold and lime accents kept to smaller areas rather than competing with the print.

The Nike Giannis Freak 8 “Etched in Stone” is scheduled to release on August 21, 2026 for $125. The shoe will be available through Nike and select retailers online and in stores.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Olive Canvas” Gets a Dark Utility Look

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A darker mix of canvas, mesh, and leather gives the Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Olive Canvas” a different feel from the suede-heavy versions usually seen on the model. The layered side panels are built with canvas, shifting from olive and charcoal near the top into black closer to the midsole.

Black canvas wraps the toe, while dark mesh fills out the upper and tongue. Olive leather is used on the tongue panel instead of the usual nylon, and the lace loops have also been switched to leather. Reflective rope laces add another small detail without changing the familiar Air Max 95 setup.

Muted olive accents continue on the small Swooshes near the heel, tongue branding, and sections of the outsole. Reflective silver covers the heel strip with Nike Air branding, while a black midsole houses the visible Big Bubble Air units. Underfoot, black and olive rubber complete the colorway.

The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Olive Canvas” is expected to release in Fall 2026 for $190.

PUMA MB.06 “Shooting Star” Revealed in Dark Amethyst

By
Mason Tiniuc

LaMelo Ball is heading into a new chapter in Minnesota, and the PUMA MB.06 will be part of the transition. His sixth signature shoe is scheduled to arrive in several colorways for Fall 2026, including the newly revealed “Shooting Star” edition following the model’s Puerto Rico-exclusive debut.

Dark Amethyst and Lavender Alert take over most of the shoe, covering the upper, laces, midsole, and outsole in different shades of purple. Layered lines run across the upper from the toe through the side panels, while molded sections add more structure around the forefoot and heel. Bright blue accents appear on the PUMA Formstrip, “1 of 1” branding, “RARE” lettering, and smaller graphics placed throughout the design.

More of Ball’s signature details show up around the heel and medial side, including the familiar “Not From Here” messaging. A metallic wing graphic is positioned near the rear, while silver tongue details give the mostly purple colorway another contrast point. The outsole continues the same look with purple rubber traction, a blue strip through the center, and a star graphic near the forefoot.

The PUMA MB.06 “Shooting Star” will release in Fall 2026 for $130 through PUMA and select retailers.

Timberland Heritage Clog Turns the Classic Boot Into a Slip-On

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Timberland has reached back into its ’90s archive for the Timberland Heritage Clog, a men’s slip-on built around an older clog design. The shape still carries the bulky feel of the brand’s classic boots, but drops the laces and ankle coverage for a much simpler open-back setup.

The upper comes in premium leather over a thick lugged rubber outsole, with a small Timberland logo stamped on the lateral side. Yellow, Black, Brown, and Grey colorways are in the mix, and the finish changes depending on the pair. Some use smoother leather, while others have a rougher texture that gives the clog a slightly different look.

That Yellow version is the easiest one to connect back to Timberland’s traditional boot lineup. The darker pairs feel less obvious, but the same chunky sole and stripped-down upper are still there. Nothing about the branding is overdone either, which fits the archive-based design.

Timberland also gave the Heritage Clog a more supportive setup than a standard mule. It uses a removable anti-fatigue footbed, an EVA midsole, and a steel shank for added arch support. ReBOTL fabric lines the inside and is made with at least 50% recycled plastic.

The Timberland Heritage Clog is already releasing in parts of Europe, with select colorways starting at €150 depending on the market and material. As of August 13, 2026, the men’s model still has not appeared on Timberland’s U.S. footwear or new-arrivals pages. A U.S. release date has yet to be announced.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Black/Silver” Adds Red Hits for Fall 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Black/Silver” is set for Fall 2026, and the colorway keeps the shoe close to the look people already associate with the model. Black mesh covers the upper, while the side panels move through grey, silver, and white in the usual layered Air Max 95 layout.

The darker shades sit higher on the shoe, with lighter panels showing up closer to the midsole. White laces cut through the black tongue area, and matching lace loops add more contrast through the midfoot. A small red Swoosh near the heel is the main color break on the upper.

More red shows up on the Air Max tongue branding and again underfoot. The heel is finished with black Nike Air branding, while grey lining runs around the collar and inside the shoe.

A black midsole keeps the lower half dark and frames the larger visible Air units used on the Big Bubble version. The outsole follows the same setup, using mostly black rubber with red traction sections near the forefoot.

There is not much extra going on here, and that works for this colorway. Most of the look comes from the shift between black, grey, silver, and white across the sidewalls, with the red hits kept to a minimum.

The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Black/Silver” releases Fall 2026 via Nike and select retailers for $190.

New Balance 1890 “Black/Silver” Brings Back 2002 DNA

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The New Balance 1890 “Black/Silver” is expected to arrive in Fall 2026, putting the newer model in one of its darker looks so far.

The upper is built with black mesh and synthetic overlays, with silver reflective piping worked through the curved lines along the sides. That same silver trim also outlines the oversized “N” logos. Small “1890” branding appears near the heel, while the rest of the shoe stays mostly black.

There is some older New Balance DNA in the build too. The 1890 uses the original 2002 sole unit with full-length SBS ABZORB cushioning. Up top, the flowing no-sew pattern takes cues from the 890v3. A black segmented midsole and rubber outsole keep the darker theme going underfoot.

The New Balance 1890 “Black/Silver” releases Fall 2026 through NewBalance.com and select retailers for $180.

Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Dodgers” Releases August 15th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Dodgers” leans into one of Los Angeles’ biggest sports connections, taking the city’s baseball colors and working them into Kobe Bryant’s signature line. Most of the shoe comes dressed in Dodger blue, with a few baseball-inspired details mixed in throughout.

Blue covers the upper from front to back, while a snakeskin-like texture shows up around the support panels and eyestays. The heel gets one of the best details on the pair, with red stitching that looks like the seams on a baseball.

White is used on the Kobe sheath logo on the tongue and around the grey Swoosh, helping break up all the blue. The color combination stays pretty close to the Dodgers’ usual look without turning the shoe into a full team-branded release.

Early samples showed Kobe photo insoles, but that detail won’t make it onto the retail pair. Official images show a simpler setup inside, with a white sheath logo printed on the insole instead.

Nike Kobe 5 Protro Dodgers Release Date

The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Dodgers” releases August 15, 2026, in unisex sizing for $190. Pairs are expected to be available through SNKRS and select Nike Basketball retailers online and in stores.

Air Jordan 4 “Jackie Robinson” Releases April 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Jordan Brand will honor Jackie Robinson with a special Air Jordan 4 release in 2027, marking 80 years since his historic debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The pair is expected to arrive on Jackie Robinson Day as one of two Air Jordan 4s connected to the baseball legend.

Robinson made history on April 15, 1947, when he suited up for Brooklyn and broke Major League Baseball’s modern-era color barrier. His impact went well beyond that moment. He won Rookie of the Year in 1947, earned National League MVP honors in 1949, and helped the Dodgers capture the World Series in 1955.

Jordan Brand has previously made Jackie Robinson-inspired player exclusives, but this will be the first retail project created with the Jackie Robinson estate. Along with an MCS cleat that surfaced earlier, a standard Air Jordan 4 will be part of the celebration.

The upcoming colorway uses Sail with Dodgers-inspired blue and red accents. Its layout carries some similarities to the “White Cement” Air Jordan 4, including cement print on the wings and midsole. Blue covers the eyelets, lower midsole, and select branding, while red appears on the Jumpman.

The Jackie Robinson details are what separate the release. The heels feature Nike Air alongside Robinson’s retired No. 42, while “Robinson” appears behind the tongue. The overall palette also connects back to the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Air Jordan 4 Jackie Robinson Release Date

The Air Jordan 4 “Jackie Robinson” is expected to release April 15, 2027, in family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $230.

Air Jordan 3 “Khaki” Releases Summer 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 3 “Khaki” is finally making the jump from sample to retail. The colorway first showed up back in 2011, but never made it past that early stage. Now, more than a decade later, Jordan Brand is expected to bring it back for Summer 2027.

The 2027 pair is said to stay pretty close to the original sample. Khaki suede covers most of the upper, giving the shoe a different feel from the leather-heavy Jordan 3s we usually see. Navy Blue shows up on the elephant print around the toe and heel, with more of the same shade worked into the eyelets.

White handles the laces, liner, heel tab, upper eyelets, and most of the midsole. A Navy Jumpman appears on the heel, while a translucent gum rubber outsole finishes things off underneath.

Air Jordan 3 Khaki Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Khaki” is expected to release June 12, 2027 in full family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $215.

Air Jordan 4 “Bloodline” Releases Spring 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The “Bloodline” series is moving onto the Air Jordan 4 in 2027, giving the model a Black, Red, and White look that fits right in with the rest of the lineup. This will be the first time the theme has been used on the AJ4.

Jordan Brand first introduced the “Bloodline” name back in 2015 on the Air Jordan XX9. It has popped up on a few other pairs since then, including the Air Jordan 1 High OG and, more recently, the Air Jordan 12.

The name has also led to plenty of comparisons with WWE star Roman Reigns and his Bloodline faction, but there is no official collaboration between the two. Jordan Brand did add to the connection by gifting Reigns a pair of the Air Jordan 12 “Bloodline” around that shoe’s release.

For the Air Jordan 4, Black nubuck will cover most of the upper, along with matching mesh panels, wings, tongue, and heel. White laces break up the darker look and match much of the midsole. Red appears on the Jumpman logo across the tongue, while blacked-out Nike Air branding lands on the heel. A Black and White rubber outsole finishes the design.

Air Jordan 4 Bloodline Release Date

The Air Jordan 4 “Bloodline” is scheduled to release on April 24, 2027. The pair will retail for $230 in adult sizing.

Hellstar’s “Neon Yellow” adidas Megaride S2 Stays Friends & Family

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Hellstar has another adidas Megaride S2 in the works, although this one probably won’t be an easy pair to find. The latest colorway comes dressed almost entirely in neon yellow and was made as a Friends & Family exclusive for the Los Angeles streetwear label.

Flame-shaped cutouts return across the toe box and side panels, giving the upper the same recognizable setup seen on the earlier black and white version. Mesh underneath shifts through red, pink, and purple, while synthetic yellow overlays frame the design. The Megaride cushioning system remains exposed through the heel.

Metallic silver covers the outsole and carries up around the rear of the shoe, standing out against the highlighter-colored upper. Black lining is used inside, providing one of the few darker touches on an otherwise bright pair.

Hellstar co-founder Seanie revealed the yellow Megaride S2 on Instagram and said that he and co-owner Juice are the only two people with pairs.

For now, the Hellstar x adidas Megaride S2 “Neon Yellow” remains a Friends & Family exclusive, with no retail release date planned.
