adidas Introduces The Adizero Evo SL Zip

adidas is giving the Adizero Evo SL a more technical look with the new Adizero Evo SL Zip, a zip-covered variation inspired by the brand’s track and field spikes from the early 2000s.

Rather than changing the shape that made the original popular, adidas rebuilt the midfoot. A fitted shroud stretches across the upper, while a tongue-length zipper conceals the standard lacing system underneath. The hidden laces and gusseted tongue are designed to improve lockdown, but the setup also gives the shoe a sharper, race-day appearance.

The debut colorway keeps things straightforward in white and black. Oversized Three Stripes sweep across the lightweight upper, with small perforations worked into the midfoot for added ventilation. Subtle Adizero Evo SL branding appears near the heel, while the exposed zipper hardware becomes the main difference between this version and the standard model.

Underfoot, the Adizero Evo SL Zip uses a full-length Lightstrike Pro midsole. It is the same cushioning family adidas uses across its faster Adizero racing models, including the record-setting Adios Pro Evo 3. Here, it is packaged in a shoe built for quick training, daily miles and casual wear rather than an all-out marathon setup.

The Zip carries a 38mm heel and 32mm forefoot stack, resulting in a 6mm drop. adidas lists the men’s version at 230 grams and the women’s pair at 195 grams. Those numbers put it close to the Adizero Evo SL Exo, though the zipped shroud gives this edition a noticeably different fit and identity.

The adidas Adizero Evo SL Zip releases July 6 as part of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 lineup. Retail pricing is set at $150, with pairs available through adidas.com and select adidas retailers.

Top Nike Releases For July 2026

July 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest sneaker months of the summer. From signatures to Kobe releases and retro basketball sneakers July has them all dropping in this month.

The Cade Cunningham Nike ST Charge “Detroit Tough” is the first of the month’s releases to weave in a hometown narrative. Nike Basketball is also coming through with a packed month, showcasing the Ja 3 “Tiger,” KD 6 “Meteorology,” LeBron 23 “Stewie,” and two fresh KD 19 styles. This month’s shoe lineup mixes fresh designs for Ja Morant and LeBron James with a returning Kevin Durant colorway and additional choices for his latest model.

The Kobe line from Kobe Bryant will be another large piece of the month. The arrival of the Kobe Dunk Low Protro “WNBA All-Star” further extends Kobe’s popular Dunk line, and the Kobe 5 Protro “NY vs. NY” is steeped in New York lore. Brunson wore the sneakers during the NBA Playoffs and features color blocking from the Knicks mixed with shades of green from the Statue of Liberty. Nike even released the sneaker early in NYC during the Finals before its July release.

Additionally, some older Nike Basketball models are scheduled for release this month. The lineup features the Zoom Hyperflight, Air Griffey Max 1, Sue Bird’s Air Zoom Huarache 2K4, Air Foamposite Pro, and Air Zoom Flight ’98 “The Glove,” plus Nike SB’s Air Max 95 “Club 58” offering a skateboarding angle.

Take a look at the biggest sneaker releases scheduled for July 2026 below. We’ll keep the calendar updated as more dates and details are confirmed.

Air Jordan July 2026 Release Dates

July 2026 continues to look strong for Jordan Brand. With the return of fan favorites like the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” and Air Jordan 7 “Miró.”

The Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” makes its first comeback since 2016. The sneakers see its white leather upper, blue accents, red detailing, elephant print, and Nike Air branding all make a return. It’s just the second time we’ve seen this original colorway make a comeback with the classic heel logo.

Jordan Brand will also be reissuing the Air Jordan 7 “Miró”. Designed with inspiration from Spanish painter Joan Miró, the colorful release from 2008 dropped exclusively in Europe and was limited to 1,000 pairs.

The Free The Youth x Jordan Brand partnership is kicking off with a Ghana-themed Air Jordan 16. Additionally, three fresh Air Jordan 4 colorways are anticipated, with the “Comic” version set to drop around San Diego Comic-Con.

Take a look at the full list of Air Jordan releases scheduled for July 2026 below. We’ll continue updating the lineup as more dates and details are confirmed.

Sneaker Talk: Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Dark Mocha”

Following the success of the high-top “Mocha”, Travis Scott and Jordan Brand brought the popular color scheme to the Air Jordan 1 Low OG in July 2019.

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Dark Mocha” carries over several details from the original high-top collaboration. Its most recognizable feature is the oversized reverse Swoosh running across the lateral side, while a traditional Nike Swoosh appears on the medial panel.

Black and Dark Mocha nubuck cover most of the upper, with University Red accents breaking up the darker palette. Cactus Jack branding appears across the tongue, medial side, and sockliner without taking over the design.

The heel tabs give each shoe a different finish. The right heel features an embroidered Air Jordan Wings logo, while the left displays Travis Scott’s hand-drawn face graphic.

The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Dark Mocha” originally released in July 2019. Pairs are now available through resale platforms such as StockX.

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Love Letter” Releases August 1st

Michael Jordan’s third retirement in 2003 closed the book on his NBA career for good. More than two decades later, Jordan Brand is revisiting that farewell through the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Love Letter,” releasing August 1st for $185.

The pair is tied to Jordan’s open letter to basketball, which appeared in Sunday newspapers four days after his final NBA game. Its worn-in palette reflects the look of an aged basketball, led by brown nubuck across the ankle and heel. White leather builds the base, while dark brown suede covers the overlays, collar, and Swooshes. A muted red finish appears on the outsole and insoles.

Several details pull directly from Jordan’s message. “With Love and Respect,” the letter’s closing words, is printed along the medial side of the left shoe. The inner tongue carries a longer passage about basketball becoming more than a ball or court. A basketball-shaped hangtag and matching printed box complete the theme.

Jordan had announced his final retirement earlier during the 2002-03 season. During his last visit to Philadelphia, the 76ers marked the occasion by presenting him with a custom golf cart before the game.

The “Love Letter” also arrives during a sentimental stretch for the Air Jordan 1. Another story-driven Air Jordan 1 Low release is expected in September, using rose-inspired detailing and a subtle Knicks reference connected to Jordan’s final appearance at Madison Square Garden as a Chicago Bull.

Air Jordan 1 Love Letter Release Date

Look for the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Love Letter” to release August 1st through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. The retail price is set at $185.

Nike Celebrates 30 Years of “Reasonable Doubt” With a Special Air Force 1

Another Nike Air Force 1 made for the 30th anniversary of JAY-Z’s Reasonable Doubt has surfaced, and this one carries more of the album’s story than the pair revealed earlier.

The shoe sticks with an all-white leather build, a look that already has deep ties to JAY-Z, Roc-A-Fella Records, and New York’s Air Force 1 history. White laces, stitching, branding, and midsoles keep everything tonal. While it looks like a regular Triple White pair, the anniversary details become clear once you get around to the heels. An embossed Roc-A-Fella Records logo appears on one shoe, while the other reads “REASONABLE DOUBT 1996.” Nike Air branding remains on the heel tabs.

This version also feels more specific than the pair previously linked to the anniversary. That shoe pulled from the Roc-A-Fella promotional Air Force 1s of the past. Here, the album title, original release year, and label branding are pressed directly into the leather, making it feel less like a tribute to an old sneaker and more like a keepsake built around Reasonable Doubt itself.

The shoes were placed inside a large black display case with Nike and Roc-A-Fella branding, along with a note signed by JAY-Z thanking the recipient for 30 years of support. Judging by the packaging and timing, the pairs appear to have been given to friends-and-family, and people close to the anniversary celebration.

Roc Nation has hosted New York activations, pop ups, merch, and archive exhibits to commemorate 30 years of Reasonable Doubt. Similar to previous pairs, this Air Force 1 will likely remain a friends-and-family exclusive.

Nike Air Bakin “Multi-Color” Releases Spring 2027

The Nike Air Bakin “Multi-Color” is joining the model’s next retro run, giving the late-’90s basketball shoe a much louder look for Spring 2027.

Originally released in 1997, the Air Bakin became closely tied to Tim Hardaway during his Miami Heat days, while Kevin Garnett also helped give the shoe court presence with Minnesota. Nike is now bringing the model back around its 30th anniversary, with both original colorways and fresh styles expected to return.

This new “Black/Chlorophyll/Multi-Color” pair takes the Air Bakin in a more experimental direction. The early photos shows a dark base with a wild gradient-style upper panel, giving it a similar feel to Supreme’s 2023 Air Bakin collaboration. However, this version appears to have its own finish, possibly with a glossy, glitter-like, or lenticular effect based on the first look.

The colorway was revealed by NYC boutique two:minds alongside other upcoming pairs. It will join the OG “Varsity Red” and “Varsity Royal” releases, which are currently expected to launch during Holiday 2026.

The Nike Air Bakin SP “Multi-Color” is expected to release in Spring 2027 in men’s sizing. The retail price is currently set at $170 USD. Grab a look at some in-hand photos below.

Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” Releases July 2026

UPDATE 6/27/26: Official photos of the Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” have surfaced. The women’s exclusive releases is set to launch July 23rd for $220 USD.

Original Story 5/18/26:
The Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” has just surfaced online giving us first look photos of the women’s exclusive release, and the real pair looks noticeably different from the beige-heavy mockups that have been floating around online.

Jordan Brand’s upcoming women’s Air Jordan 4 is currently expected to release July 23rd for $220 USD. The color palette still lines up with the early info — Coconut Milk, Metallic Gold, Muslin, Bright Mango, Sundial, and Black — but the actual execution brings more life to the shoe than those early mockups suggested.

Most of the upper keeps things calm with soft neutral shades across the pebbled leather base. Suede lands on the toe, tongue label, and backtab, giving the pair a little more texture instead of making the whole shoe feel flat. The semi-translucent TPU wings and eyestays also help separate the real version from the leather-heavy mockups people were judging a little too confidently.

The brightest part of the Air Jordan 4 “Birds of Paradise” shows up underfoot. A tropical outsole mixes semi-translucent Bright Mango and Sundial hits, adding the kind of color pop most people probably expected to see more of on the upper. So yes, the party is mostly happening on the bottom of the shoe.

Metallic Gold appears on the heel Jumpman logo, giving the design a small premium hit without turning the shoe into a full gold-accented release. The pair also comes with special packaging covered in tropical plant artwork, which ties the theme together better than the shoe alone might suggest.

First Look At The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Coals” Releasing Holiday 2026

Nike is giving the Kobe 6 Protro a much darker holiday story with the upcoming “Coals” colorway. Inspired by the old tradition of leaving coal for children on the naughty list, the pair swaps the usual Christmas look for black scales, sharp green hits, and touches of purple.

That kind of offbeat holiday theme is already part of the Kobe 6’s history. Kobe Bryant wore the original “Grinch” on Christmas Day in 2010, and the shoe quickly became one of the line’s defining releases. “Coals” doesn’t try to repeat that colorway. It carries over the same mischievous spirit and takes it somewhere heavier.

Black covers most of the textured upper, with an uneven graphic worked across the scales to resemble scattered pieces of coal. The Swoosh moves from Venom Green into Purple Venom, bringing the strongest color to the side panels. Underfoot, a translucent outsole reveals more green and purple detailing while keeping the darker look intact.

Nike Kobe 6 Coals Release Date

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Coals” is expected to release in December 2026 for $190. The pair will be available through Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers.

Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 Low “Cactus Jack” Pack Releases June 2026

UPDATE 6/27/26: The Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 Low releases June 27th through TravisScott.com. The Elite cleat is priced at $320, while the Indoor version will retail for $200.

Original Story:
Nike’s World Cup push has brought out nearly every major name and collaborator in its orbit. After the packed “Rip the Script” campaign and a growing Nike Cryoshot lineup featuring Patta, Jacquemus, Jordan Brand, and Virgil Abloh Archives, Travis Scott is now adding his own project to the mix.

The Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 “Cactus Jack” has surfaced in official images after several early previews and on-field appearances. The collaboration includes a traditional performance cleat and a reworked indoor version with a low-profile shape that feels inspired by Nike’s classic Total 90 era.

Both pairs feature bright neon green uppers paired with glossy Reverse Swooshes and yellow laces. Brown covers the collars and sole units, bringing in the earthy color palette commonly used across Travis Scott’s Nike collaborations.

Cactus Jack insoles, crooked smiley graphics on the heels, and special drawstring bags complete the release. Each version also carries nearly identical color blocking despite being built for different playing surfaces.

The Travis Scott x Nike Phantom 6 Low “Cactus Jack” Pack is expected to release in June 2026 through TravisScott.com, SNKRS and other retailers. The indoor model is expected to retail for $200, while the performance cleat will be priced at $320.

Nike Air Liquid Max Appears in “Triple Black”

Nike has another all-black Air Liquid Max on the way for Summer 2026, but this one takes a slightly different route from the pairs we have already seen.

The upper sticks to black throughout, mixing mesh with smooth overlays and a series of thin TPU lines around the lower half. Nike dropped the nanoprint pattern used on earlier versions, which gives this pair a more straightforward look.

That simpler upper puts more attention on the sole. The rounded Air units sit across the bottom in a long, segmented setup, giving the shoe its most recognizable feature and a much more aggressive profile from the side.

This is not the first dark Air Liquid Max, following the Fragment collaboration and another black general release. Still, the stripped-back upper helps separate it from those earlier pairs. No contrast colors, no oversized graphics, just a full black finish built around the model’s unusual cushioning.

The Nike Air Liquid Max “Triple Black” is expected to release during Summer 2026 in men’s sizing for $220. Look for it at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.

This Air Jordan 1 Mid Comes With Black Elephant Print Overlays

Elephant print may be tied most closely to the Air Jordan 3, but Jordan Brand has used the pattern across nearly every corner of its footwear lineup. The latest example comes on a new Air Jordan 1 Mid expected in 2026.

This pair keeps things mostly black, using different materials to create its contrast instead of relying on several colors. Smooth leather covers the toe box and side panels, while elephant print appears across the overlays, heels, and Swooshes. Tough Red adds a sharper break through the laces, lining, and Wings branding.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Elephant Print” is expected to release during Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers.

Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 “Hellfire” Features Lenticular Heel Eyes

Nike is taking the Air Force 1 Low ’07 in a darker direction with the upcoming “Hellfire” colorway. Cracked black leather, reptile-like overlays, and red accents give the familiar all-black setup a more aggressive finish, while a pair of lenticular eyes on the heels carries most of the theme.

The upper begins with distressed black leather at the forefoot. Overlaying scales adorn the toe, Swooshes and heal zones. This gives the shoe a dramatic shift in texture while keeping the classic silhouette of the Air Force 1 intact.

Red appears in smaller doses along the tongue label, underside of the tongue, midsole stripe, and AIR branding. Instead of dominating the shoe, the color works its way through the black construction as a sharp contrast.

Orange eyeball graphics replace the usual heel branding. Each lenticular image changes as the shoe moves, with Nike Swooshes used as the pupils. It is the most unusual part of the design and gives the “Hellfire” name something more distinctive than another black-and-red color scheme.

A solid black outsole completes the bottom, while the included spare laces feature a scaled pattern that matches the leather overlays.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 “Hellfire” is expected to release in Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers, both online and in stores. The retail price is set at $125.

Nike Dunk Low PRM “Sesame” Gets The Gum Sole Treatment

Nike is adding some extra weight to the Dunk Low with the upcoming “Sesame” edition. The usual Peter Moore shape is still there, but the padded Swoosh sits higher off the side panels and gives the shoe a noticeably fuller look.

The upper remains straightforward. Sesame leather is featured on the footbed and overlays, supported by tone stitching and branding. Cream tone tongue and white laces provide subtle contrast, but it’s the exaggerated Swoosh that transforms the shoe the most.

That inflated logo has already shown up on several recent Air Force 1 releases. Moving it over to the Dunk gives Nike another way to update the model without leaning on louder color blocking or changing its familiar construction.

A matching midsole carries the tan finish below, while the gum rubber outsole adds a darker edge. It also gives the pair a slight skate feel, which fits a Dunk that has spent decades moving well beyond its basketball origins.

The Nike Dunk Low PRM “Sesame” will release during Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

Story mfg. x ASICS Unveils Two Plaid Sneakers

Story mfg. is bringing its offbeat, craft-heavy style to ASICS through two footwear designs from the brand’s “Trees Are Poems” collection. Both were previewed at Paris Fashion Week, where black and brown plaid versions appeared in early overhead images.

The limited photos leave plenty unanswered. ASICS has not revealed the model names, materials, or full shape of either shoe, but a few details are already visible. Branding is etched into the toe boxes, while bead sets are included for customizing the laces.

Plaid does most of the work across both uppers, giving the shoes a softer, handmade character than the technical look usually tied to ASICS. The beads push that idea further without feeling disconnected from the rest of the design.

Founded by Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi in 2013, Story mfg. has built its name around slow fashion, vegan production, and a design language shaped by nature and traditional craft. The ASICS project follows that same direction instead of simply placing the brand’s colors on an existing runner.

The Story mfg. x ASICS “Trees Are Poems” footwear is expected to release in November 2026.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Phantom/Light Khaki” Goes Floral For Summer 2026

Nike is bringing woven fabric and floral embroidery to the Air Force 1 Low for a “Phantom/Light Khaki” release made with summer in mind. The leather framework remains familiar, though the fabric underlays and soft, sandy colors give the shoe a noticeably different feel.

Open-knit material runs through the toe box and side panels. Muted tan flowers are stitched across it, with parts of the pattern passing beneath the leather rather than stopping at each panel. The embroidery looks a little irregular by design, closer to one continuous arrangement than a graphic repeated around the shoe.

Phantom leather is used on the mudguard, eyestays and rear quarter. Light Khaki suede overlays the Swooshes and heel tabs providing texture to the smooth silhouette without introducing a new color. Nike takes this neutral theme throughout the striped rope laces, collar trim, tongue labels, insole and heel branding.

The sole comes entirely in Light Khaki, including the midsole and rubber outsole. Keeping that section plain puts more attention on the material changes above it, especially where the woven fabric meets the suede and leather.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Phantom/Light Khaki” will release during Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.
