The Jordan Luka 4 “Gone Ranching” Rides Into November 2025

The Jordan Luka 4 “Gone Ranching” pairs the Luka Dončić player’s everyday life with signature Jordan performance tech.

This new colorway features textured Summit White uppers on the lateral panels and deep Black overlays on the toe and medial sides. A brown-and-white cow-print pattern wraps the tongue and heel as a nod to Luka’s countryside ranch-life hobbies, while bright Green and Orange “77” logos bring extra pop.

The pair sits atop a speckled midsole with Cushlon foam and Air Zoom units to deliver responsive comfort on the hardwood. A translucent gum outsole completes the design with a Luka’s logo subtly etched near the heel. The look feels playful yet grounded, an apt representation of the Mavericks star’s personality.

The Jordan Luka 4 “Gone Ranching” will release November 5, 2025, and retails for $135 USD on Nike.com and at select Jordan Brand retailers.

UNDERCOVER x OTW by Vans Collection Releases October 29th

OTW by Vans bridges skate culture and the world of contemporary art with the release of a new capsule collection in collaboration with Japanese design collective UNDERCOVER. Renowned for his unique and counter-cultural designs, Jun Takahashi once again leads UNDERCOVER with two imaginative takes on Vans’ iconic footwear that encapsulate the rogue spirits of both labels in an ultra-limited edition collection.

Drawing inspiration from the surreal sketches of Spanish artist and former police officer Josep Baqué, the first iteration of the Old Skool 36 is filled with otherworldly imagery. The early-20th-century drawings were inspired by Baqué’s curious, fantastical creatures which – unbeknownst to the public until recently – he created by splicing elements of human and animal features. Baqué’s surreal sketches of bizarre animal-human hybrids now appear across the canvas uppers to great effect.

Elsewhere on the collection, Jun Takahashi pays homage to Jack Russell Terriers on the Era 95. Characterized by his own hand-drawn motifs of the playful pups, the lovable dogs act as a counterpoint to the more powerful Old Skool 36. The whimsical embroideries are inspired by Takahashi’s own personal experiences and narrate a softer, more emotive story.

The collection also sees both pairs sharing co-branded midsoles and being finished with premium materials.

The UNDERCOVER x OTW by Vans Collection releases October 29, 2025 starting at $120 for the Era and $135 for the Old Skool styles. Each pair will be available at Vans.com/OTW and at select retail partners.

Nike Ja 3 “LSU Tigers” PE Revealed Ahead of 2025-26 Season

With the 2025–26 college basketball season tipping off soon, Nike is ensuring its programs stand out on the hardwood. Following Duke’s custom Kobe 5 reveal, LSU’s women’s team has unveiled their exclusive Nike Ja 3 “LSU Tigers” PE — and it’s pure heat.

Ja Morant’s third signature shoe features LSU pride, with purple and gold blocking to represent the school’s spirit. The knit upper comes in a tiger-stripe pattern, nodding to the team’s aggression. LSU branding can be seen on the midsole under a golden “A,” completing the “JA” mark below the Swoosh.

The lightning-themed packaging and claw-like outsole design add even more flair, mirroring Ja’s explosive game. While it’s one of the cleanest college player exclusives this year, the Nike Ja 3 LSU Tigers PE won’t be hitting retail shelves.

Expect to see them in action when the Tigers open their season on November 4th, setting the tone for another dominant run.

Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “Flax” Releases Spring 2026

Nike SB is expanding its catalog once again, introducing the Nike SB Air Force 1 “Flax” (Wheat) as part of its upcoming 2026 lineup. After exploring crossovers like the SB Air Max 95, this marks the brand’s first-ever skate-built take on the Air Force 1.

At first glance, the silhouette retains its familiar shape, but this project might be Nike SB’s boldest conversion yet. Skaters typically look for better board feel—something the AF1’s thick midsole isn’t known for. Still, as seen with past SB Jordan 4 and SB Air Max 95 launches, these redesigns attract both skaters and collectors alike. Adding authenticity, SB team rider Eric Koston has been spotted testing the pair, suggesting genuine skate performance updates beneath the surface.

Dressed in the beloved “Flax/Wheat/Gum Light Brown” palette, the shoe channels the iconic AF1 “Workboot” aesthetic from the early-2000s era. Premium nubuck uppers, tonal stitching, and black Nike SB Air branding on the heel tie the heritage look together. A gum outsole finishes the design with rugged appeal, making it ready for fall sessions or everyday wear.

The Nike SB Air Force 1 “Flax” releases Spring 2026 at select skate shops and Nike.com.

Star Wars x Crocs Classic Clogs “Darth Vader” and “R2-D2” Releases October 29th

Inspired by the heroic droid, the R2-D2 edition features the character’s signature white-and-blue color palette, painted control panels, and light accents. Straps on the R2-D2 get “legs,” which can be dressed up with the coordinating R2-D2 Jibbitz charms.

Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 2010 “Hand-Me-Downs” And “Bag Lady” Revealed

UPDATE 10/22/25: Joe Freshgoods has officially unveiled his latest New Balance 2010 “Hand-Me-Downs” and “Bag Lady.” The “Bag Lady” comes dressed in a white and off-white mix, while the “Hand-Me-Downs” offers a darker twist with the same worn-in details. Both pairs include plush furry laces for a cozy touch and detachable “JFG” chains that let wearers add a custom feel. Inside, a new JFG logo sits on the insoles, rounding out the look.

While release details haven’t been confirmed yet, this hands-on reveal suggests a launch may be near—possibly kicking off at ComplexCon.

Original Story 10/21/25:
The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 2010 is another lifestyle classic from the Chicago-born designer.

Arriving for Fall 2025, the silhouette remixes the 2010 with a fresh take on vintage style.

A rugged wool-like upper, cream mesh sockliner and vintage yellowed ABZORB midsole come together for a stylized distressed look. The black chain detail injects a renegade style, emblematic of Joe Freshgoods’ world of functional aesthetics and narrative-driven design. The contrasting bold “N” logo, outlined in a warm beige, roots the rugged texture of the upper in familiar New Balance heritage.

The sculpted midsole and black outsole complete the look, providing both comfort and character. The entire design exudes a lived-in quality, raw and deliberately imperfect.

While on-site at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, the Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 2010 will likely drop globally in November 2025 via NewBalance.com and select retailers.

Virgil Abloh Archive x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” Releases Spring 2026

UPDATE 10/22/25: A closer look at the Virgil Abloh x Air Jordan 1 High OG “White” colorway has been shared by @xcverum on IG. A release is expected Spring 2026.

Virgil Abloh x Air Jordan 1 High OG White 2026 detailed look with V.A.A. for Nike branding.

UPDATE 10/4/25: Hiroshi Fujiwara has revealed what appears to be the upcoming Air Jordan 1 “Alaska.” The Fragment founder showed up at the “Virgil Abloh: The Codes” exhibition in Paris wearing a new version of the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Euro,” highlighted by “V.A.A. for NIKE” branding on the side panels. Similar to the “Sesame” Air Force 1s, all Off-White branding has been removed, signaling that this release will not be an official Off-White collaboration but instead a project with the Virgil Abloh Archive and the late designer’s estate. Initially expected for Holiday 2025, the V.A.A. x Air Jordan 1 “Alaska” is now set to drop in early 2026.

Original Story 5/3/25:
The iconic Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG is set to make a grand return in 2026 (originally slated for Holiday 2025), paying tribute to the late Virgil Abloh and celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Jordan Brand. This collaboration originally debuted in 2017 as part of Abloh’s groundbreaking “The Ten” collection, which revolutionized sneaker design with its deconstructed aesthetic.

The “Euro/White” colorway, now dubbed “Alaska”, will make its highly anticipated comeback. Inspired by snow-covered landscapes, “Alaska” offers a fresh take on the original design. While official details remain under wraps, it’s unclear whether this release will be a true reissue of the “Euro” pair or lean more towards Abloh’s initial Air Jordan 1 Sample.

Expect signature Off-White elements to remain intact, including the iconic zip tie, exposed foam details, and “AIR” text on the midsole. The all-white design captures the fusion of high fashion and streetwear that Abloh mastered so well.

Off-White Jordan 1 Alaska White 2026 Release Date

The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Alaska” will release in Spring 2026 at select Jordan Brand retailers and on Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $195 USD.

adidas is keeping the Anthony Edwards spotlight bright with another standout edition of his debut signature sneaker. The adidas Anthony Edwards 1 “Pink Ascent” takes bold design cues from Edwards’ dynamic playstyle, combining performance innovation with eye-catching visuals.

First previewed earlier in 2024, this AE 1 colorway immediately turned heads for its swirling marbled midsole, which fans quickly compared to Ye’s Yeezy MX series.

New Balance 1000 “Black Cat” Releases November 2025

New Balance is breathing “Black Cat” energy back to life, this time via a daredevil take on the 1000 silhouette. The Boston brand has had its all-black kicks become a reoccurring theme of late, but this latest iteration finds a smarter mix of textures that differentiates itself from past drops.

Forgoing the suede-heavy release that popped on shelves at the start of 2025, this version instead trades up with synthetics across the upper’s top wave. The subtle shift adds a futuristic edge, while glossy hits at the heel, back tab, and midsole cushioning deliver a polished finish. Pops of white outlining the “N” and “1000” logos provide the perfect contrast against its stealthy base — a small detail that sneakerheads will notice immediately.

Balancing lifestyle comfort and archival nostalgia, the New Balance 1000 “Black Cat” feels like a modern nod to the brand’s early-2000s runners. Its tonal look and ABZORB cushioning make it versatile enough for daily wear while maintaining that fashion-forward appeal.

The New Balance 1000 “Black Cat” releases November 15, 2025, via NewBalance.com and select retailers for $150 USD.

Action Bronson x New Balance 992 “Digitalis Purpurea” Raffle Now Live

UPDATE 10/22/25: The raffle for the Action Bronson x New Balance 992 “Digitalis Purpurea” is now open, CLICK HERE. Priced at $240, the release will be available exclusively through Bronson’s Specializing in Life website.

Original Story 8/27/25:
The intersection of food, music, and pop culture has been the lifeblood of Action Bronson’s career, but sneakers have been a throughline in his narrative. His various collabs with New Balance over the last several years have especially stood out for their audacious colorways and cheeky references. The Queens native now showed off another upcoming release from the brand on the red carpet for his new film Caught Stealing, in which he costars with Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Bad Bunny, and Matt Smith.

The latest shoe was a prototype Action Bronson x New Balance 992 “Cosmic Rose” and found the rapper in an all-out shade fest. The sneaker is drenched in color and features deep purple suede overlays, fluorescent pink reflective detailing, lilac eye-stays, and orange mesh underlays. The colorway continues Action Bronson’s typical design sensibilities of using colors that would typically be considered clashing, but work somehow when worn. Compared to his previous “Knicks” edition, this new release leans into louder and more experimental direction.

For context, the 992 silhouette is no stranger to making design statements. Since its initial release in 2006, the silhouette has been popular among both runners and sneakerheads for its ample midsole and performance-oriented design. Bronson’s collaboration takes the silhouette a step further into a lifestyle direction while also making a conversation piece. This is the detail sneakerheads will notice, as another shoe is blurred into the line between a performance and collectible.

The Action Bronson x New Balance 992 “Digitalis Purpurea” will release October 2025 via his website specializinginlife.com, with a potential wider launch on NewBalance.com.
