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

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

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

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.

Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘01 “NYC” Celebrates New York Basketball

New York basketball is getting another Air Force 1 with the Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01 “NYC”, a white, blue and orange colorway tied to the Knicks’ 2026 championship run. The shoe first appeared around the team’s celebration and is expected to return later this year.

White leather makes up most of the upper, with blue and orange splitting the Swoosh branding on each side. Blue covers the lateral Swoosh, while orange is used on the medial side. The two colors give the otherwise simple white pair a clear New York look without changing much from the classic Air Force 1 setup.

Blue continues across the outsole and appears again on the NYC tongue branding. An orange Swoosh is worked into the bottom of the shoe, while the lateral heel carries a “2026” graphic alongside another small orange Swoosh.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01 “NYC” will release during Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $140.

Air Jordan 4 “Bred” 2026 On-Feet Photos

The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” is returning Black Friday, November 27, 2026, in full-family sizing, with pairs expected to be widely available through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers worldwide. Images also show the shoe getting back to the look of the original, with black nubuck returning after the 2024 “Reimagined” pair swapped it out for leather.

Cement Grey, Fire Red and white fill in the rest of the familiar color blocking. Nike Air branding is back on the heel tabs, while Nike branding also appears on the outsole. Put together, the 2026 pair looks a lot closer to the 1989 original.

The “Bred” Air Jordan 4 has been brought back plenty of times, and each release has been a little different. The first retro arrived in 1999. Releases followed in 2008 and 2012, both with Jumpman branding on the heel. Nike Air returned in 2019 before Jordan Brand went in a different direction with the leather-covered “Reimagined” version in 2024.

For this release, the black nubuck and Nike Air branding are together again. It is a pretty simple change on paper, but it brings back two of the details that longtime fans usually want from a “Bred” 4.

Air Jordan 4 Bred 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 4 “Bred” will release on Black Friday, November 27, 2026, in full-family sizing. Adult pairs will retail for $230. Enjoy the retailer and on-feet images below.

This won’t be a limited drop. A wide general release is expected, with plenty more pairs available than some recent Jordan launches.

Deion Sanders Shows Off New Colorado Nike Air DT Max ’96 Cleats

Deion Sanders is getting Colorado ready for the upcoming college football season with another exclusive Nike cleat.

Sanders shared a look at a new Nike Air DT Max ’96 PE made for the Colorado Buffaloes. The cleat sticks closely to the school’s colors, pairing a black base with metallic gold across much of the upper. Black also covers the signature claw-like sections, inner bootie and other details throughout the design.

The Air DT Max ’96 has been a big part of Sanders’ recent return with Nike, with the former NFL star continuing to bring back models from his signature line while coaching at Colorado.

This Colorado version was made specifically for the Buffaloes and is not expected to release to the public. More Deion Sanders Nike releases, however, are already lined up for Fall and Winter 2026.

Wagyu x Nike Air Max 90 Releases September 12th

Wagyu is working with Nike on a new Air Max 90, marking the New York label’s first collaboration built around the classic runner. The rollout has already started with a few teasers, including a lookbook showing Sheck Wes in the shoes with a matching Nike Tech set.

The shoe keeps the colors pretty simple. Black and grey cover most of the upper, with a few gold details mixed in. Wagyu’s cow head logo takes over the heel, while another Wagyu mark appears inside the mudguard window.

A mix of materials gives the pair some texture without making it too busy. Hairy suede is used around the quarter, perforated leather covers the toe box, and white rope laces stand out against the darker upper. A patterned sockliner adds one more detail inside the shoe.

Wagyu and Nike are also releasing a matching Nike Tech sweatsuit with the collection. The full-zip hoodie is priced at $155, while the joggers are set at $135.

Wagyu Nike Air Max 90 Release Date

The Wagyu x Nike Air Max 90 is set to release September 12, 2026 in men’s sizing for $150 via SNKRS. Check out the official photos below.

Yu-Gi-Oh! x Crocs Collection Releases September 10th

UPDATE 9/2/26: The Yu-Gi-Oh! x Crocs collection releases September 10 with four pairs. Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba get Classic Clogs priced at $70, while Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon appear on the Echo Clog for $90. The collection will be available through Crocs, with additional retailers possible.

Original Story 8/26/26:
Yu-Gi-Oh! and Crocs are linking up for a four-pair collection releasing in September, with Yugi Yami, Seto Kaiba, Dark Magician, and Blue-Eyes White Dragon each getting their own design. The Classic Clog handles the Yugi and Kaiba pairs, while the two monster-inspired releases use the Echo Clog and lean more into molded details.

Yugi Yami’s Classic Clog is the most detailed of the two. Purple covers most of the shoe, with gold, red, and black worked in around the midsole and upper. A chain across the front carries a Millennium Puzzle piece, while the Jibbitz include Yugi and a Duel Disk. Silver hardware and studded strap details finish off the look.

Seto Kaiba’s version goes in another direction with a dark grey upper, blue straps, burgundy lining, and a white section around the midsole. The circular cutouts along the side give it a different profile from Yugi’s pair, and the Jibbitz pull from Kaiba’s side of the series with Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a playing card, the KC logo, and another Duel Disk reference.

Dark Magician gets one of the Echo Clogs, dressed almost entirely in purple. White graphic lines run along the sides, while the straps carry symbols tied to the series. A green staff charm and Dark Magician details across the upper make the reference easy to spot without covering the whole shoe in graphics.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon Echo Clog keeps things lighter with a pale blue build and darker blue straps. Molded extensions around the upper give the pair a sharper shape, while Blue-Eyes charms are worked into the sides. Of the four, it looks the least like a standard Crocs release because of how much of the theme is built directly into the silhouette.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! x Crocs Collection releases September 10, 2026, through Crocs and select retailers in stores and online. All four pairs will be available in unisex sizing. The Classic Clogs are priced at $70, while the Echo Clogs will retail for $90.

First Look at the Street Souk x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Rage Green”

Street Souk is teaming up with Nike for its first Air Force 1 Low collaboration, bringing the Lagos-based fashion platform into Nike’s growing lineup of partners from Africa. The project follows other recent collaborations tied to the continent, including Free The Youth and Homecoming.

Founded by Iretidayo Zaccheaus, Street Souk has become a major part of Lagos streetwear culture over the years. The group has also worked closely with Homecoming, helping curate fashion for the annual event while building its own relationship with Nike.

Their Air Force 1 Low comes in a bright “Rage Green” colorway mixed with white across the upper. Croc-textured panels give the shoe most of its character, while lizard-inspired branding around the heel adds another detail tied to the collaboration.

Street Souk Nike Air Force 1 Low Release Date

The Street Souk x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Rage Green” is expected to release during Holiday 2026. Street Souk’s 2026 event takes place in September, so a release around the event is possible, although wider launch details have not been confirmed.

Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 “Iron Grey” Releases September 2026

Yuto Horigome Nike SB Air Force 1 Iron Grey

The Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 “Iron Grey” is now set to release in September 2026. The shoe first showed up earlier this year and is releasing before the “Laser” colorway, which is rumored to be limited to 1,000 pairs.

This pair sticks with a pretty simple color setup. Off-white leather makes up most of the upper, while grey mesh is used through the panels. Grey Swooshes and matching padding around the collar finish off the upper, and the aged midsole gives the shoe a slightly older Air Force 1 look.

There are a few Yuto details worked into the shoe as well. The standard “AIR” branding is still on the outside of the midsole, while “YUTO” is molded into the medial side. His feather logo can also be seen on the heel and insoles.

The tongue tags mix Nike SB and Yuto Horigome branding, while the heel tab gets a “7” graphic and a small red Swoosh. That little bit of red is one of the only colors that stands out from the rest of the shoe.

Since this is an SB version, Nike also made some changes to the Air Force 1 for skating. The build has been adjusted for better board feel, with extra padding around the collar for added comfort.

Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 Iron Grey Release Date

The Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 “Iron Grey” releases September 12, 2026 at select skate shops and soon on SNKRS. Men’s sizing will be available for $125.

Jordan Strada Debuts Fall 2026 in “Velvet Brown/Rust Pink”

Jordan Brand is bringing a new low-top lifestyle model into the mix for Fall/Winter 2026 with the Jordan Strada. The first colorway pairs brown and pink tones across a chunky build that pulls a few recognizable ideas from the Air Jordan 1 Low without looking like a direct offshoot of it.

The outsole carries the strongest AJ1 connection, using segmented traction beneath a completely new sole unit. From there, the shape changes noticeably. The midsole curves up through the midfoot, and the quarter panel follows that same line before meeting the lower eyestay. Hairy suede covers the toe box, a small Swoosh sits near the lateral forefoot, and ballistic-style mesh appears through the side panel.

The overall proportions lean more toward the oversized skate shoes that were everywhere in the early 2000s, with shades of Osiris and DC in the silhouette. Jordan Brand has explored a similar lane with the Flight Court, another lifestyle model built around familiar elements from older Air Jordan designs.

The Jordan Strada “Velvet Brown/Rust Pink” is expected to release during Fall/Winter 2026 for $130.

Nike Dunk Low “Khaki/Team Red” Adds a Double Swoosh Look

The Nike Dunk Low Double Swoosh “Khaki/Team Red” is joining the Dunk lineup for Fall/Winter 2026. Most of the upper is done in suede, pairing White on the toe box and side panels with Khaki overlays around the toe, eyestays and heel.

Two Swooshes share the side panels instead of the usual single logo. The larger one comes in Khaki leather, while a smaller Team Red Swoosh sits just above it. That red carries over to the tongue labels and Nike embroidery on the heels. White laces and brown lining finish off the upper.

An off-white midsole sits above a brown rubber outsole with light speckling throughout.

The Nike Dunk Low Double Swoosh “Khaki/Team Red” releases during Fall/Winter 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Air Jordan 1 Low Element GTX “Black/Purple Dynasty” Is Built for Bad Weather

The Air Jordan 1 Low Element GTX returns for Holiday 2026 in a Black/Dark Concord/Purple Dynasty/Celery colorway. Black takes over the overlays, tongue and Swooshes, while the purple tones fill the textile sections across the toe box, side panels and collar.

The upper is built with GORE-TEX protection and a mix of textile and synthetic materials, keeping the model ready for wet weather. Reflective hits are worked into the rope laces and Swooshes. Celery shows up in smaller spots on the tongue label and pull tabs, while a gold Wings logo finishes the heel alongside GORE-TEX branding down the back.

A thick black rubber outsole changes the look more than anything else. Deep lugs cover the bottom and wrap around the toe and heel, giving the shoe extra traction and a more rugged shape than a standard Air Jordan 1 Low.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Element GTX “Black/Purple Dynasty” releases during Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers for $205.

Stan Birch Brings His “Stand Out” Style to the Saucony ProGrid Guide 7

Making his first move with Saucony, Stan Birch has linked up with the brand for a new take on the ProGrid Guide 7. Birch, who previously worked under the Flou Customs name, has already shown the shoe at several Fashion Week stops before its wider release this month.

His version of the ProGrid Guide 7 uses double-layer mesh underneath the runner’s usual mix of overlays. Burgundy covers much of the shoe, with mint green and off-white worked into different sections of the upper. Rather than sticking to one dominant color, the pair moves between the three shades across its layered construction.

A more personal detail comes from Birch’s “Stand Out” philosophy. The Three Rivers logos can be swapped out, giving the shoe either a white and red look or a gold finish. Several lace options are also included, adding another way to change how the pair looks.

The Stan Birch x Saucony ProGrid Guide 7 releases September 10, 2026 for $165 through Saucony and participating retailers.

adidas Crazy Energy Gets a McDonald’s All-American Colorway

Back in April, players at the 2026 McDonald’s All-American Games got their hands on a special adidas Crazy Energy made just for the event. A few months later, that same colorway is starting to show up at retail.

Yellow, red, and purple run across the upper in an uneven pattern that resembles a heat map. Bright yellow continues underfoot across the outsole, giving the shoe another clear connection to McDonald’s familiar color scheme. The mix is loud, but it fits the kind of player-exclusive releases that usually come out of All-American weekend.

A Harden Vol. 10 was also included in adidas’ McDonald’s All-American lineup for 2026. Both pairs use colors tied to the event, though the Crazy Energy takes a more mixed approach across the upper rather than sticking to traditional color blocking.

The adidas Crazy Energy “McDonald’s All-American” has already started showing up at select retailers, with a wider release expected during the Fall/Winter 2026 season.

Air Jordan 16 “Ginger” Returns June 2027

The Air Jordan 16 “Ginger” is coming back in Summer 2027, bringing one of the model’s original colorways back for the first time in years.

The “Ginger” first released in 2001, right as the Air Jordan line was entering a new chapter. Michael Jordan had already finished his run with the Bulls, and the Air Jordan 16 looked noticeably different from a lot of what came before it. The shoe had a cleaner, more upscale feel, and the warm Ginger colorway fit that look well.

Michael Jordan wearing the Air Jordan 16 Ginger while playing for the Washington Wizards in 2001.

Wilson Smith III designed the Air Jordan 16 with a removable magnetic shroud over the laces, giving the shoe a different look depending on whether it was worn on or off. Full-length Zoom Air was added underfoot for cushioning. Jordan also wore the “Ginger” during his time with the Washington Wizards, giving the colorway an on-court connection late in his career.

The 2027 release will bring back the original Light Ginger, Dark Charcoal, and White color scheme. Light Ginger covers most of the upper, while Dark Charcoal appears on the inner bootie, branding, and parts of the outsole. White finishes off the colorway, and the removable shroud is coming back too.

Air Jordan 16 Ginger 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 16 “Ginger” is expected to release June 19, 2027 through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. The retail price is set at $245.
