New Balance 2000 Brings Cool Ice Vibes

Sporting an icy finish, the New Balance 2000 “Blue Ice/Grey” is a collaboration of early millennium running and millennial-age freshness.

Primarily consisting of ice blue mesh and synthetic materials in the upper, the look is contrasted by bold white accents. A splash of classic grey accents on the midfoot “N” logo, tab on the tongue, and ABZORB SBS cushioning pods complete the overall aesthetic with a timeless New Balance heritage.

Connecting to an archive of frosty hues, this fresh iteration of the 2000 once again checkmates on culture since its predecessors – the 990, 2002R and others – so did. The “Blue Ice/Grey” highlights a sculpted midsole with exposed cushioning technologies and a dual-tone outsole that plays on grey and black. New Balance’s longtime original runner gets an update that cements its early millennium-to-now lifespan.

The New Balance 2000 “Blue Ice/Grey” launches Fall 2025 via NewBalance.com and select retailers for $170.

Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy” Releases September 5th

Chris Brickley has worked with everyone from All-Stars to rising rookies. Now the trainer steps into sneakers with PUMA. His own pair: the All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy.”

This one leans heavy on New York ties. Cream leather and rough suede nod back to classics like the Clyde and Suede. A stitched “1948” patch marks PUMA’s founding year. The laces? Built like work boots—a clear wink at Timberland and the city that made them iconic.

The storytelling doesn’t stop there. The insoles look like a deli menu, a callback to Brickley’s grind before he became basketball’s go-to trainer. The box carries the Empire State Building skyline he sees daily. On the tongue sit his mottos—“Keep Going” and “Keep Growing.” His signature runs along the heel. No mistaking whose shoe this is.

Performance hasn’t been forgotten. PUMA dropped in NITRO™ SQD cushioning, tuned for today’s game. Trainers, pros, and anyone who runs full court will feel it right away. Clean look, solid build, and plenty of meaning baked in.

The Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy” drops September 5, 2025, for $140 on PUMA.com and select retailers.

Where To Buy The CAV EMPT x Nike Air Max DN8 Pack

UPDATE 8/20/25: Cav Empt has confirmed its Nike Air Max DN8 sneaker release, starting with a Japan-only drop on August 22nd at 9 AM JST through CAVEMPT.com. All three colorways are included, though only the white and green pairs will see a wider release on August 27th via SNKRS and select retailers. The blue and black edition looks to remain exclusive to Cav Empt.

In addition to these pieces, Dover Street Market will also have a early release on August 22nd with an in-store installation. Pairs will also be sold online via DSML E-Shop for those outside Japan.

Original Story 7/25/25:
Tokyo’s CAV EMPT is back with another colorful and disruptive Nike collaboration—this spotlighting the Air Max DN8. Dropped in three colorways as seen in the brand’s Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook, the black, grey, and teal pairs feature all-over digital camo graphics on the mesh upper and midsoles. The graphics reinforce the tech-heavy feel that CAV EMPT has always incorporated in each of their bold and eye-catching drops.

The all-over camo treatment is similar to the brand’s 2019 Air Max 95 collaboration, but the DN8 has a slightly more futuristic shape thanks to the visible Air units encased in molded soles. The pairs have branded tongues and crisp overlays on top of that.

CAV EMPT was founded in 2011 by SK8THING, Toby Feltwell, and Yutaka Hishiyama. Since its founding the brand has blended influences from cyberpunk aesthetics, 90s net art, and tangible subculture in their clothing and collaborations. Each drop is a look at a discombobulated visual glitch from another time and place.

The CAV EMPT x Nike Air Max DN8 will drop August 22, 2025 and will be sold exclusively at cavempt.com. As usual, it will be available in extremely limited quantities.

This is a collab for collectors and style disruptors—another reminder that streetwear can still surprise us.

The six shoe capsule riffs on classic adidas performance footwear, reimagining styles that have spanned more than six decades of the brand’s innovation. Beginning with the 1972 SL 72 OG, the lightweight runner that was a game-changer in distance racing, the capsule chronicles history with the New York (1983) and Oregon Ultra Tech (1991), each newly updated with Kith co-branding. Reviving early-2000s energy, the Supernova Cushion 7 is reissued before the all-time classic Energy Boost (2013) makes a triumphant return, following its history in popularizing adidas’ Boost cushioning technology. The capsule concludes with the present day with the Kith Classic take on the daily training runner and race-day staple Adizero Boston 13, a first in the sneaker’s co-branded design.

Release Date & Where To Buy

The Kith Fall 2025 Collection, which includes the adidas Running capsule, will be available Friday, August 22nd at Kith.com and at Kith stores around the world.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Metalwork” Releases September 2nd

UPDATE 8/20/25: The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Metalwork” will release on September 2nd via SNKRS.

Original Story 6/22/25:
This sneaker doesn’t play it safe. It rolls out with rough vibes and serious edge.

Nike crafted this pair with distressed suede that looks well-worn right out of the box. Thick rope laces and oxidized eyelets back up the gritty look.

The Swoosh doesn’t rest easy—it bolts onto the upper like it means business. Even the tongue tag locks in place with visible screws.

Nike didn’t hide the details. They leaned into the brutalist theme. Each part adds personality and toughness to the sneaker.

The midsole carries the same story. Faded overlays and textured wear patterns give it a battle-hardened vibe.

Instead of chasing perfection, this shoe embraces chaos. It’s bold, unique, and ready for anything.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Metalwork” will release September 2, 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers for $130 USD.

If clean white pairs bore you, this sneaker offers something grittier. It’s loud without saying a word.

New Balance is reviving a pair of retro styles with new colorways of the 2010 in “Ice Wine” and “Vintage Indigo”.

The “Ice Wine” 2010 offers a feminine appeal with dusty pastels while the “Vintage Indigo” 2010 is more modern and edgy.

Air Jordan 2/3 Surfaces in “Knicks” Colorway

The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample has surfaced, giving fans a look at what might have been the cleanest version yet. The Jordan 2/3 hybrid hasn’t gained much traction compared to other recent mash-ups like the Spiz’ike Low or Jordan 4 RM. Only four colorways have released in 2025 so far, most hitting discounts within weeks. This Knicks-inspired sample, originally targeted for Spring 2025, feels like it could have shifted that story.

The pair features a low-cut Air Jordan 2 upper dressed in white leather, detailed with orange piping and bold blue lining. Underfoot, the Jordan 3 sole unit appears in Sail, accented by blue around the heel for contrast. Knicks colors on Jordans always bring mixed feelings. New Yorkers remember the ’90s battles with Michael Jordan, when the Bulls repeatedly crushed the Knicks’ playoff hopes. Some die-hard Knicks fans even avoided Jordans altogether, instead rocking Patrick Ewing’s own line.

Still, there’s no denying that a Knicks colorway always sparks attention in New York City. The look carries both nostalgia and irony, making this unreleased hybrid one of the more interesting samples from Jordan Brand in recent years.

Whether the Jordan 2/3 Knicks ever sees a drop remains uncertain. Reports point to a planned Spring 2025 release, but it never made it past the sample stage. Collectors will be watching closely in case Jordan Brand decides to revisit the design.

The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample is not confirmed for release. Stay tuned for updates if retail plans change.

Jordan Dub Zero “Motorsports Laser” Sample Surfaces

Back in 2005, Jordan Brand dropped the Dub Zero. A mash-up built from the Air Jordan 4, 6, and 11. Fans still argue about it. What nobody forgets are the etched panels. That detail gave the shoe its own lane during mid-2000s Jordan experiments.

Now a “Motorsports Laser” Sample has surfaced. White tumbled leather runs the base. Black trim sharpens the edges. And those laser graphics? They cover both sides, bold as ever. Look once—you’ll spot them instantly. A visible Air unit in the heel and sculpted midsole keep the hybrid DNA alive. Clean lines. Strong presence.

Inside, the tag reads “SP25.” Spring 2025 was the target. Whether it ever hits stores, who knows. Jordan Brand samples get delayed. Some never make it. That risk is part of the Dub Zero story. Which, honestly, makes this pair more interesting. Collectors who once ignored the Dub Zero are starting to circle back.

Right now, it’s just a look at what could have been. If Jordan Brand pushes it through, hybrid fans will jump. If not, this pair stays a reminder of one of Jordan’s boldest experiments.

The Jordan Dub Zero “Motorsport Laser” is not confirmed for release. Updates will follow if plans change.
