Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Lime” Releases November 12th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Vans first showed the Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Lime” during Paris Fashion Week, and the official photos are now in. The bright green colorway is part of the expanding Pearlized lineup and is scheduled to release in Fall/Holiday 2026.

Bright lime canvas makes up most of the upper, with black overlays covering the toe, eyestays, Jazz Stripe, and heel. Pearls and crystal-like accents are worked into those darker sections, bringing the same embellished look seen on other Old Skool 36 Pearlized styles. Off-white laces and exposed white stitching help break up the lime and black without changing the overall look.

The lower half gets a much rougher finish. Vans gives the midsole a distressed, worn-in treatment that makes the shoe look aged straight out of the box, a detail that has become part of the wider Pearlized lineup.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Lime” will release November 12, 2026 through Vans and select retailers. Retail price is set at $130. Check out the official photos below.

Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Marshmallow” Releases October 8th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Vans has officially unveiled its Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack for the Fall/Holiday 2026 season. One of the pairs coming from the collection is this “Marshmallow” edition, done almost entirely in an off-white finish.

The upper mixes canvas with suede, while pearls and small crystal accents are scattered around the shoe. You can see them along the Sidestripe, around the toe, on the tongue, and toward the heel. Most of the rest stays pretty simple, including matching off-white laces and the same light finish around the midsole.

Vans also went with a worn-in look instead of making everything look brand new. There are some distressed areas around the upper and sidewall, along with a thin black line around the midsole. The usual “Off The Wall” license plate is found on the heel.

The shoe sits on the familiar Vans waffle outsole and has a Sola Foam ADC insole inside.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Marshmallow” releases October 8, 2026 at select Vans retailers and Vans.com. The retail price is set at $130.

LSU Gets Its Own Nike Vaporposite Pro PE Cleats

By
Mario Briguglio
-

LSU is the latest college football program to get its own Nike Vaporposite Pro cleat for the 2026 season. The player-exclusive pair comes in the school’s familiar purple and yellow colors.

Bright yellow covers most of the molded upper, while purple is used on the tongue, collar, and laces. Tiger-style striping is worked into the upper, adding another LSU touch without changing much about the Vaporposite Pro’s overall look.

A gold-colored outsole sits underneath, and LSU’s Tiger logo appears near the heel. Nike has been making more team-exclusive versions of the Vaporposite Pro lately, alongside the colorways already available to the public.

This LSU Vaporposite Pro is expected to stay exclusive to the football program and will not be released at retail. Players could wear the cleats for LSU’s home opener against Clemson.

Madhappy x Puma Collection Releases September 5th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Madhappy and Puma will be releasing three more pairs on September 5, 2026. Instead of another Speedcat, this pack swaps it out for the Suede and H-Street.

The Suede comes in Matte Bronze, using different shades of brown across the upper. Matching overlays keep the look simple, while exposed stitching around the Formstrip gives the sides a little more definition. A tan midsole finishes it off underneath.

Satin plays a bigger role on both H-Street colorways. The Alpine Snow pair keeps things neutral with a light-toned satin base and grey suede around the eyestays and heel. The second H-Street comes in Soft Blue, pairing blue satin and suede across the upper with a black sockliner and gum outsole.

The H-Street has shown up less often than some of Puma’s better-known retro runners, which gives this part of the collection a different feel from Madhappy’s earlier Speedcat work. Both pairs keep the slim profile of the original model while using softer materials and muted colors throughout the upper.

All three pairs will be offered in unisex sizing. The Madhappy x Puma H-Street is priced at $120 in both Alpine Snow and Soft Blue, while the Madhappy x Puma Suede Matte Bronze will retail for $130.

The Madhappy x Puma Suede and H-Street collection releases September 5, 2026, through Madhappy, Puma, and select retailers in-store and online.

Nike Dunk Low “Pink Spell” Gets Glossy Patent Leather Makeover

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Dunk Low “Pink Spell” is lined up for Fall/Winter 2026 in women’s sizing, using white leather with glossy pink and black patent accents.

White leather fills in the toe box, side panels, and collar, with glossy Pink Spell patent leather running around the mudguard, eyestays, and heel. The Swooshes and heel tabs switch to black patent leather, and a small hit of pink Nike embroidery shows up on the back.

Pink tongue labels add another hit of color up top, paired with white tongues and laces. Inside, black insoles feature pink Nike branding. A white midsole and black rubber outsole keep the bottom half straightforward.

There is not much extra going on beyond the material change, and that works here. The glossy overlays do most of the lifting visually without changing the classic Dunk Low shape or color blocking.

The Nike Dunk Low “Pink Spell” will release in women’s sizing during Fall/Winter 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers. A specific release date has yet to be announced.

Jordan Spizike Low “Fauna Brown” Is Wrapped in Rich Suede

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Jordan Spizike Low “Fauna Brown” is set for Fall/Winter 2026 with a dark, earthy mix of brown and black across the hybrid silhouette. Brown suede makes up most of the upper, with slightly different tones around the toe, side panels and heel giving the shoe a little more depth.

Black fills in the side netting, eyelets, inner lining and midsole. Gum Dark Brown covers the outsole, while Pearl White is kept to smaller details, including the Jumpman logos on the lace locks and insoles. The visible Air unit remains in the heel as part of the usual Spizike setup.

The heel keeps the model’s mismatched branding. One side features Brooklyn-inspired graphics, while the other uses the “40 Acres and a Mule” logo tied to Mars Blackmon and Spike Lee. It is one of the more recognizable details carried over from the original Spizike design.

The Jordan Spizike Low “Fauna Brown” releases during Fall/Winter 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $170.

Nike Giannis Freak 8 “Etched in Stone” Takes Inspiration From Greek Marble

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Giannis Antetokounmpo has another Freak 8 lined up for Fall 2026, this time with a marble-themed “Etched in Stone” colorway. White and grey cover most of the shoe, with the stone-like pattern carrying across the upper, midsole, and heel.

Most of the upper stays white, with light grey marbling worked through the material and around the molded side panels. The darker stone pattern is more noticeable along the midsole and heel, where the print gets heavier and gives the shoe more contrast. A metallic black Swoosh sits on the lateral side, while Volt green shows up on the Giannis logos and through sections of the outsole.

The outsole carries the marble theme further with grey streaking across the traction pattern. Small Volt hits break through underneath, and Giannis branding appears through the center. The white laces, grey lining and textured panels keep the rest of the shoe in the same neutral range.

Another Freak 8 has also surfaced with a black marble treatment, giving the “Etched in Stone” idea a second look built around much darker tones. This white version stays closer to the traditional appearance of Greek marble sculpture, with the grey veining doing most of the work.

The Nike Freak 8 “Etched in Stone” releases during Fall 2026 in unisex sizing for $115.

“Baroque Brown” Covers the Nike Air Force 1 GORE-TEX for Winter 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Set for Fall/Winter 2026, the Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Baroque Brown” takes the regular AF1 and gives it a tougher setup for colder, wetter days. GORE-TEX is worked into the leather upper, and Vibram rubber replaces the standard outsole for more traction.

Most of the upper is done in Baroque Brown leather, with black Swooshes, heel tabs, lining, and a black midsole breaking up the color. Brown rope laces and a thicker tongue add to the winter-ready feel, while the small yellow GORE-TEX tags near the collar are one of the only bright hits on the shoe.

Waterproofing is called out again on the metal lace dubrae, and the leather is shown beading water in the product images. Nike Air branding is embossed into the black heel tabs, keeping the back of the shoe simple without adding extra color.

Underfoot, Vibram replaces the usual Air Force 1 outsole with a more aggressive traction pattern. Black rubber wraps the outer edges, while University Red fills most of the center section. Yellow Vibram branding appears at the midfoot and lateral heel, tying back to the GORE-TEX tag on the upper.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low GORE-TEX “Baroque Brown” is expected to release during Fall/Winter 2026 in men’s sizing.

ASICS Turns the GEL-DS Trainer Into a Ballet Sneaker for 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

ASICS is bringing the GEL-DS Trainer into the ballet-sneaker mix for Fall/Winter 2026. The new GEL-DS Trainer Ballet keeps the runner’s recognizable shape and tooling, then opens up the forefoot to give the women’s model a much different look.

The upper still uses mesh with synthetic overlays, including the familiar ASICS side stripes and the layered structure carried over from the GEL-DS Trainer. Most of the change happens across the top of the foot, where the traditional closed construction is replaced by an open section held together with thin laces.

White/Silver and Black will be the first two colorways out of the gate. The White/Silver pair mixes white mesh with silver overlays, while the Black version keeps nearly everything dark with black mesh, glossy panels, and grey ASICS stripes.

The ASICS GEL-DS Trainer Ballet will release in women’s sizing during Fall/Winter 2026. An exact release date has yet to be announced.

Air Jordan 6 Low “Metamorphosis” Releases September 16th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 6 Low “Metamorphosis” is dropping September 16 as a new women’s colorway. Nike says the name points to how the Air Jordan 6 has changed over time since Tinker Hatfield’s original 1991 design.

Most of the upper is done in black nubuck, with Desert Berry panels bringing in the pink iridescent look. The color shifts a bit in different lighting, and the same finish shows up on the Jumpman lace lock.

Metallic Silver hits the heel spoiler and parts of the midsole. Outside of the new colors, the shoe keeps the same Air Jordan 6 Low shape people are used to.

The Air Jordan 6 Low first came out in 2002 and has always been a less common version of the model. Jordan Brand has brought it back here and there since then, including a few women’s releases over the years.

Air Jordan 6 Low Metamorphosis Release Date

The Air Jordan 6 Low “Metamorphosis” releases September 16, 2026 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The women’s pair is priced at $205.

Nike Air Bakin “Black/White” Releases December 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is bringing the Air Bakin back again for Holiday 2026, this time in a simple Black/White colorway. It joins the “Varsity Red” and “Varsity Royal” pairs already expected to return as part of the model’s latest retro run.

Long tied to Tim Hardaway, the Air Bakin still has that loud late-’90s attitude. This version tones the look down a bit, but not too much. A mostly black upper sets the base, while white hits and small Metallic Silver details break up the design. The signature flame-style overlays are still the star here, keeping the shoe’s aggressive on-court identity intact.

Nike also appears to be staying close to the original build. The retro comes with a Phylon midsole, visible Air-Sole cushioning in the heel, and a Durable Rubber Compound outsole that climbs up the sides for added grip and structure. It is very much a product of its era, which is exactly why the Air Bakin still stands apart from cleaner, safer basketball retros.

Nike Air Bakin Black/White Release Date

The Nike Air Bakin “Black/White” is expected to release December 3, 2026 at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. The shoe will be available in men’s sizing with a retail price set at $170 USD.

Looking further ahead, Nike also has more Air Bakin releases planned for 2027, including a “Multi-Color” pair and a low-top version.

JAIDE x Air Jordan 11 Low “Fiberglass” Releases September 18th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Whitaker Group is expanding its Jordan Brand lineup this year, with JAIDE now getting its first collaboration on the Air Jordan 11 Low. The release follows a look at APB’s pair and gives another Whitaker Group retailer its own take on the classic model.

JAIDE’s version uses a soft Fiberglass green across the outsole, tying back to the stone that helped inspire the store’s name. Pebbled leather covers the tongue and side panels, while the Air Jordan 11’s familiar patent leather mudguard stays in place around the lower half of the shoe.

The branding is kept simple, with JAIDE logos appearing on the inside of the tongue and on the insoles. A subtle stitched design also runs along the satin lining. Beyond being part of the first wave of Air Jordan 11 collaborations, the release also marks JAIDE’s first project with Jordan Brand.

JAIDE Air Jordan 11 Low Release Date

The JAIDE x Air Jordan 11 Low “Fiberglass” releases September 18, 2026 exclusively through JAIDE and The Whitaker Group stores, including Social Status, A Ma Maniére and APB Store. The women’s pair is priced at $205 and will not be available anywhere else.

Nike Covers the Air Force 1 Low in Red Pony Hair for Holiday 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is adding another furry Air Force 1 Low to its Holiday 2026 lineup, this time covering the shoe in a full “Team Red” look. The pair follows the “Orange” version that surfaced earlier this year along with the recently revealed “Atomic Violet” colorway.

Long red pony hair covers nearly the entire upper, including the toe box, side panels, Swoosh, heel, and tongue. A smoother leather lining is used inside the shoe, but the outside stays completely red from top to bottom.

The same color continues onto the midsole and outsole, giving this pair a different look from the orange and violet versions, which use white midsoles. With no other colors mixed in, most of the contrast comes from the long-haired texture itself.

Nike Air Force 1 Pony Hair Red Release Date

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Pony Hair “Team Red” is expected to release during Holiday 2026 in men’s sizing for $140.

PAF x On Cloudsoma Closes Out the Partnership With a New Trail Runner

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

POST ARCHIVE FACTION and On are bringing their long-running partnership to a close with the Cloudsoma, a new trail-focused model introduced through the South Korean label’s “Current Form 5.0” collection. The shoe first surfaced around Paris Fashion Week earlier this year and now arrives in three colorways.

The Cloudsoma has a stripped-down knit upper with very little stitching across the build. Open knit sections appear along the toe and side panels, while a wavy overlay runs around the lacing system for added structure. An extended knit tongue and tall heel pull tab give the shoe a slightly exaggerated shape, with POST ARCHIVE FACTION and On branding kept small throughout.

A thick CloudTec sole handles the trail side of the design. Separate pods run underneath the shoe and are made to move with the ground, while deep tread and rubber wrapping around the toe add more coverage. The blocky midsole also gives the Cloudsoma much of its look, sitting noticeably wider and heavier under the lightweight upper.

Three pairs are included in the release. Cobble/Raven mixes dark brown and charcoal across the upper and sole, Black keeps the entire shoe nearly monochrome, and Haze/Linen uses a pale yellow-green shade from top to bottom.

The POST ARCHIVE FACTION x On Cloudsoma Collection releases September 3, 2026 for $200 in Cobble/Raven, Haze/Linen, and Black. Grab pairs here via On.com.

Nike Air Foamposite One “Phoenix Suns” Returns February 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is bringing back another popular Foamposite colorway from the early 2010s. The Nike Air Foamposite One “Phoenix Suns” is set to return for 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend, giving collectors their first shot at the colorway since its 2013 release.

The colorway ties back to Penny Hardaway’s years with the Phoenix Suns from 1999 to 2004, giving the shoe a stronger story beyond its bold finish. While Penny is still most associated with Orlando, this pair taps into another chapter of his NBA career and gives longtime Foamposite fans a reason to pay attention.

As for the design, the Nike Air Foamposite One stays true to the look that made it stand out the first time around. The upper is covered in an Electro Purple Foamposite shell, while black nubuck lands on the eyestay and collar area for contrast. Total Orange details hit the Swoosh branding, tongue trim, pull tabs, and 1 Cent logos, giving the shoe that unmistakable Suns-inspired finish. An icy outsole completes the retro look.

What made this pair memorable back in 2013 was its glossy, almost candy-painted shell. It was never the most understated Foamposite release, but that bold finish helped separate it from many other pairs in the model’s archive.

Nike Air Foamposite One Phoenix Suns 2027 Release Date

The Nike Air Foamposite One “Phoenix Suns” is expected to release February 19, 2027 for NBA All-Star Weekend through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $240 USD.

Nike Air Bakin “Varsity Royal” Returns November 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is bringing back a nostalgic late-’90s basketball sneaker as the Nike Air Bakin is rebooted in its original “Varsity Royal” colorway. Last seen back in 2008, the blue and black color scheme closely resembles the design first released almost thirty years ago.

Black mesh is featured on an upper that’s split by panels of blue and white “Varsity Royal” coloring. Long cutouts divide the royal blue sections to reveal black mesh underneath. Black overlays are placed over the toe, mudguard, and heel while grey laces and thin white piping separate the darker colors. White swooshes are placed laterally near the ankle and on the midsole while embroidered blue Nike Air logo complete the heel. The shoe features a black rubber outsole with blue accents down the center.

The Nike Air Bakin was initially released back in 1997 and was worn by multiple NBA players throughout the late-’90s. Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, and Kevin Garnett were just a few names that wore the unique silhouette during their careers.

Originally, the shoe came with a flame-embroidered heel spell out “AIR.” However, the logo was later removed due to controversy over claims that it spelled “Allah” in Arabic. Later, different versions of the shoe swapped out the original branding for Nike’s standard Air logo, which you’ll find on this new release.

Nike Air Bakin Varsity Royal 2026 Release Date

The Nike Air Bakin “Varsity Royal” releases November 12, 2026 for $170. The pair will be available through Nike and select retailers. Check out the first photos below.
