FIRST LOOK: Eastside Golf x Nike Air Max Plus Golf and Victory Tour 4 (2025)

The Eastside Golf x Nike Holiday 2025 Collection drops two new styles in a blod “Aluminium” colorway. Matt Kang first showcased the pack, which seamlessly meshes style and performance.

Leading the pack, the Eastside Golf x Nike Air Max Plus Golf, is a course-ready take on the late-’90s classic. A mesh upper with light blue TPU flames takes the place of the sneaker’s usual street-ready construction. Metallic mini Swooshes are layered over a plush Air Max midsole, while luxe details like gold aglets elevate the design. The silhouette finds a middle ground between its heritage cool factor and performance on the green.

The second pair, the Eastside Golf x Nike Victory Tour 4, is a nod to the traditional. In a crisp white leather upper, the shoe features a metallic blue Swoosh adorned in repeated Eastside Golf script. An icy translucent outsole and gold lace tips anchor the design back to the Air Max Plus Golf, completing the capsule’s cohesive design language. This combo speaks to Eastside Golf’s affinity for juxtaposing modern vigor with classic golf standards.

With these two designs, Eastside Golf continues to demonstrate their understanding of luxury and sporty functionality. The nod to classic golf sneakers combined with a retro-inspired Air Max silhouette provides just the right amount of freshness to the release. That appreciation of balance is why Eastside Golf’s Nike collaborations continue to resonate.

The Eastside Golf x Nike Air Max Plus Golf and Victory Tour 4 will drop Holiday 2025 at Eastside Golf and Nike.com.

Jordan Trunner LX Highlighted in “Pink Blast”

The Jordan Trunner LX “Pink Blast” is the return of one of Jordan Brand’s wildest trainers in a bolder colorway.

For women only, the shoes mesh the Pink Blast upper and quilted overlays with black for contrast. There are also reflective Silver accents on the heel for visibility. These feature a pair of adjustable straps on the midfoot and heel. That’s just one example of how the Trunner still manages to be useful.

This release is extra bold compared to previous tone-on-tone colorways from Jordan Brand. Sneakerheads will also note that the playful upper is balanced with a durable outsole for traction and comfort. That detail is what sets the Trunner apart from many other fashion-forward releases—it still works.

The Jordan Trunner LX “Pink Blast” will release Fall 2025 for $135 USD from Nike.com and select retailers.

TOMO KOIZUMI x Nike Air Superfly Releases September 20th With Interchangeable Swooshes

The TOMO KOIZUMI x Nike Air Superfly lands September 2025, channeling the silhouette’s performance roots through Koizumi’s maximalist lens.

Painted in Black, Photo Blue, and Fierce Purple, the featherweight runner is wrapped in an iridescent upper that feels ready for the runway. The Velcro-backed Nike Swooshes come with three different sets for swapping, an uncommon opportunity for customizing your kicks.

Hidden underfoot, the outsole pops with greens, purples, and oranges, lending the tread a vibrant, multicolored coating. Even the packing paper found inside is in-keeping with the palette, a detail we’re sure collectors will appreciate. Branding stamped across the left footbed further solidifies Koizumi’s rising alliance with the Swoosh.

Nike has long used lightweight runners as canvases for experimental exercises, from Jun Takahashi’s Gyakusou to Sacai’s inventive hybrids. This new project falls in line with that history, while Koizumi’s sense of drama brings an added dose of high-fashion cool to technical footwear.

The TOMO KOIZUMI x Nike Air Superfly will launch on September 20, 2025 at Nike.com and at select retailers.

A$AP Rocky x PUMA “Animal Print” Collection Releases October 9th

While we wait for A$AP Rocky’s upcoming “Don’t Be Dumb” album, his PUMA collections are showing no sign of slowing down. Rocky first entered the brand’s creative fold with designs like the Inhale and Mostro being silhouettes that now show off his unique design aesthetic in the boldest ways possible.

Inhale, Mostro, and PUMA’s Gabbia cage silhouette are back this Fall 2025 season with a lineup that gets Rocky’s animal print and textural pieces on fleek. The PUMA Inhale focuses on finding that perfect balance of wild with tan suede overlays, black flame-esque panels, and black-and-white leopard trim at the heel and tongue. A pair of matching lace ups are also on deck that allow wearers to curate the look.

On the other end of the spectrum, the PUMA Mostro is a matte black pony hair with a snakeskin Formstrip sweeping across the side. While this take keeps the silhouette feeling restrained, the luxe texture takes the futuristic aesthetic and makes it feel razor sharp. Rocky also offers up his take on PUMA’s Mostro Gabbia cage silhouette this go-around. In this iteration, a reptile upper is strapped with a glossy black TPU cage and elevated with an aggressive studded outsole that gives this otherwise sleek design some bite.

Rocky’s approach to the brand’s archival silhouettes with wild and fashion-forward textures gets more believable with each release, especially since the rapper has been unapologetic in his sartorial eclecticism.

Release Date & Where To Buy

The full A$AP Rocky x PUMA “Animal Print” Collection will drop on October 9, 2025. Items like the Inhale ($140), Mostro ($150), and Mostro Gabbia ($250) will also be available with matching pieces from a collaborative capsule apparel collection at select retailers and online at PUMA.

Nike SNKRS App Introduces SNKRS Maps Feature

Nike’s SNKRS App is adding a new feature called SNKRS Maps, giving sneaker fans a smarter way to connect with retailers.

SNKRS Maps, as it’s called, will be an interactive store locator. You’ll be able to find tier-zero locations like Undefeated, Kith, and Extra Butter—but Maps will also spotlight local sneaker stores and regional boutiques. There’s an obvious value in being able to check where major retailers are, but I really like that Nike isn’t losing sight of local retailers. The SNKRS App is a great place to find pairs on release day, but this map makes it easy for collectors to find trusted, in-person retailers where they can buy authentic pairs any day of the year.

Maps is just one of the ways Nike has iterated on the SNKRS App since its launch in 2015. The App has always been the place for most hypebeast-friendly releases of limited Jordans, Dunks, and collaborations, but now it’s expanded to incorporate storytelling elements that have built its own culture and sub-community. Sneakerheads can learn about the design process through behind-the-scenes videos, and SNKRS sometimes even lets users decide which sneakers Nike should work on next through polls. Maps, then, seems like a logical addition.

Micro-opinion: I really like this feature. Sneaker culture is inextricably linked to community, and a lot of that community is defined by local retailers. By adding a new locator feature to the SNKRS App, Nike’s just making sneaker collecting more convenient without losing that essential authenticity. Plus, it could be a way to help direct attention to smaller retailers that get lost in the hype machine, which is a nice change of pace.

The Nike SNKRS App is available for free on both iOS and Android.

Atiba Jefferson’s Vans Collection Blends Photography and Skate Culture

Photographer Atiba Jefferson has crafted one of Vans’ most enduring silhouettes into the Atiba Jefferson x Vans Collection, coming September 2025.

A mosaic photograph in black-and-white spreads across the shoe’s canvas, midsole, and even up the laces. The inside utilizes a barely there branding and lands with an “ATIBA” stamp over the OTW by Vans stamp. That’s the detail most sneakerheads will look for on first glance.

Departing from black-and-white, the capsule also features an apparel item in a sunset colorway and skater graphic. Reports also suggest an all orange Old Skool 36 is in the works, pointing to a larger, all one-tone collection. As with past Vans artist collaborations, the project elevates Jefferson’s work as a creative while providing a wearable statement piece.

The Atiba Jefferson x Vans Collection will release on September 18th on Vans.com and the Old Skool on September 25th via retailers.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pearl White” Comes With Some Faux Leopard Print

Nike Sportswear is still expanding its Fall 2025 catalog with the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pearl White,” a clean-yet-bold take on the classic silhouette.

Wearing Pearl White and Khaki, the duo spot Team Red accents over the Swooshes and heel branding.

What makes this particular release unique is its faux leopard fur along the heel. The faux fur detail, which is extremely reminiscent of the recently-revealed Nike Dunk Low “Khaki Leopard,” injects that wild touch to an otherwise neutral color scheme.

The color combo creates a great mix of versatility and personality for the sneaker. The sole unit is consistent in Pearl White and Khaki, while a jeweled Nike lace dubrae with star details swaps out the traditional rectangular version.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pearl White” will release Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Dunk Low “Khaki Leopard” Combines Neutral Tones and Animal Print

Nike’s Fall 2025 lineup features the Nike Dunk Low “Khaki Leopard”. This shoe pairs neutral tones with playful animal-inspired accents for a modern twist on an iconic silhouette.

The upper is crafted from a mixture of leather and textile in khaki, pearl white, and baroque brown. Dark red Swooshes with yellow accents are complemented by embroidered heel branding for additional pops of color. The brown midsole with red stitching and speckled accents further cements this Dunk’s position in the Nike Next Nature collection, a series focused on sustainable practices and eco-conscious design.

The standout detail of this shoe is the faux leopard print around the collar area. It’s the one feature that sneakerheads will not be able to miss. The wild accents pay homage to the sneaker’s animal kingdom brethren and help the Dunk stand out in the collection.

The Nike Dunk Low “Khaki Leopard” drops Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers for $130.

UPDATE 9/15/25: Official photos of the CPFM x Nike Swamp Sponge Dunks have been revealed. All three pairs are listed on the CPFM site for $155 each. Expect release details to be announced soon.

Original Story 7/27/25:
Cactus Plant Flea Market (CPFM) is teaming up with Nike once again for another innovative Dunk Low collaboration, this time set to drop in Fall 2025. The trio, already dubbed the “Swamp Sponge” collection, is expected to channel CPFM’s signature bizarre and whimsical style as part of their latest project to subvert the norms and disrupt the traditional sneaker culture.

Introducing three bold colorways in “Sequoia,” “Photo Blue,” and “Psychic Purple,” fans have no doubt that these upcoming Dunks will continue the brand’s legacy of playful and unexpected designs. While Nike and CPFM have yet to reveal official design details, the name “Swamp Sponge” hints at heavy use of textured, layered materials, similar to CPFM’s 2019 “Sponge By You” Blazer collaboration. It can also be assumed that CPFM will deliver plenty of familiar elements, including distorted proportions, oversized silhouettes, velvety construction, and experimental finishes.

One of the unreleased colorways was worn by Travis Scott at a Nike football event that took place in Los Angeles recently. Fellow artist Rayessa was also spotted alongside him, further fueling anticipation within the sneaker community.

In addition to what has been revealed about the collection so far, fans can rely on what they have come to expect from Cactus Plant Flea Market.

Dove Details & Olive Embroidery Define The END. x Saucony “Olive Branch” Pack

The END. x Saucony “Olive Branch” Pack returns to two beloved silhouettes, the ProGrid Omni 9 and Shadow 6000.

Both shoes sport a clean canvas of off-white and olive green which nod to Saucony’s long history of earth-toned runner styles. Between the two sneakers, the Shadow 6000 packs the more confident punch, owning its bulky retro runner aesthetic.

Mini-storytelling elements add gravitas to the Olive Branch collection. Olive branch stitching is stitched onto the medial sides of the sneakers, and dove iconography is printed on tongue labels. Both are strongholds of peace symbolism. The minutiae is the type sneakerheads will lean in for, giving extra dimension to what is otherwise a pared-back collection from END., especially relative to their previous Saucony collaborations.

The “Olive Branch” Pack will be available on September 19, 2025 at Endclothing.com and select retailers. The END. x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 retails for $215 USD. The END. x Saucony Shadow 6000 retails for $190 USD.

Market x Reebok Preseason 94 Low Joins The “Land and Sea” Club C Pack

The Market x Reebok Preseason 94 Low is the latest release from their growing partnership, joining the Club C “Land & Sea” Pack. This sneaker continues the collection’s fun, rugged theme while introducing another autumn-ready option.

The Reebok Preseason 94 does so in a blend of earthy colors. Burnt orange textiles are contrasted by dark charcoal suede overlays. Metallic silver detailing hits the side panels and tongue, while big “Preseason” script makes an appearance on the lace shroud. A gum outsole with aggressive tread work ties the build together and gives it that trail-inspired edge. Compared to the lifestyle-driven Club C collabs to date, this silhouette leans into that durability and functionality. It’s the combination of heritage hoops design and outdoor flair that really makes the shoe stand out.

Subtle Market branding at the heel of the sneaker is a reminder of the collaborative nature, while the chunky 90s aesthetic of Reebok still remains. A sneaker that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, one that’ll catch the eye of collectors and casual wearers alike.

The Market x Reebok Preseason 94 Low will be available September 24, 2025 at select retailers and Reebok.com retailing for $130 USD.

Unreleased Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Oregon” Sample Surfaces

Nike’s Kobe line has produced countless releases, but behind the scenes, even more samples never reached retail. One such pair, a Kobe 4 Protro from 2019 in “Black/Yellow Strike/Gorge Green,” has surfaced, giving fans their first close-up look.

The vivid palette of yellow and green demands the most immediate association with Oregon. But how exactly it relates to the state is up for debate. It could be an homage to Kobe Bryant’s prep school in Manhattan. That led to a “Rice” series in 2009. If so, the 2019 timing makes sense for a 10-year anniversary drop.

Design elements on the Kobe 4 Protro sample feel like a release-level finish. Glossy black patent leather accents on the toe and collar pop alongside a bright yellow Swoosh. Gorge Green mesh and outsole hits complement the color scheme. A speckled white midsole provides necessary contrast. The colorway on this prototype feels simultaneously aggressive and refined. It’s the type of execution that the Nike Basketball line has been known for throughout its Kobe iterations.

While this particular Kobe 4 Protro will not be hitting retailers, at least one is in circulation in a size 10. It was recently by @yyt_snkrs on IG. For those seeking rare samples, it’s an opportunity that comes around rarely.
