UPDATE 11/21/25: Official photos of the “Christmas” Ja 3 have been added below. A release date is expected December 26th, 2026 available in family sizing.

Original 8/15/25:
Nike Basketball is ringing in the holidays with the Nike Ja 3 “Christmas”, a hyper-colorful and high-energy take on Ja Morant’s third signature shoe. A pioneer in pushing color stories in his own signature collections, Morant’s “Christmas” edition steps the bright and festive factor up a few notches over recent holiday drop competitors.

The Christmas Ja 3 dons an aggressive gradient fade from blazing red to electric green that overlays an underlying field of crisp white mesh. Stark black Swooshes break up the brighter colorways on the upper while the full-length responsive ZoomX cushioning packs a punch underfoot for supreme court performance.

While not shown here, the seasonal theme could be seen on the tongues, insoles, and/or packaging to give the rest of the design its “Christmas” association.

Following a litany of other Christmas sneaker drops in recent Nike Basketball history, the third edition of Ja’s signature continues the lineage of expressive (and high-performing) drops for the holidays.

Nike Ja 3 Christmas Release Date

The Nike Ja 3 “Christmas” will release December 26, 2025 in men’s ($140), grade school ($115), and preschool ($110) sizes. Pairs will be available at select retailers and on Nike.com.

Air Jordan 10 UNC PE Revealed For Tar Heels Players Only

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Nov 21, 2025

The Air Jordan 10 UNC PE is the latest Air Jordan exclusive for the Tar Heels, pairing a clean grey base with bright Carolina blue suede. The blocking leans into the team’s away colors, with the grey covering the forefoot and mid panels while UNC blue slides across the heel and medial side. Black leather adds some edge through the lace panel and midsole, giving the shoe a tough, court-ready look.

UNC’s signature marks stand out, too. A bold Jumpman hits the inner panel, and the stitched Tar Heel foot logo on the ankle instantly ties the pair back to Chapel Hill. It’s the kind of detail UNC PEs have always nailed.

This pair surfaced after practice as a surprise gift from Jumpman, continuing UNC’s long run of elite player exclusives. The program’s connection to Michael Jordan still delivers perks no other school can match. And with college hoops rolling, we’re seeing plenty of schools flex their own heat.

Another reminder that the Air Jordan 10 UNC PE stays strictly in-house.

Michael Jordan Face Box Returns For 2026 Air Jordan Retros

By

Nov 21, 2025

Jordan Brand is bringing back the Michael Jordan face box for Fall 2026, a packaging style many collectors still associate with peak early-2000s sneaker culture. For anyone who remembers grabbing Retros in that era, the face box wasn’t just a container. It felt like part of the moment — a little extra flair that made each pickup feel special.

The return was first mentioned by @zSneakerHeadz, who noted how Jordan Brand has spent the last several years tightening up retro accuracy across major models like the Air Jordan 1, 4, and 12. Because of that focus, revisiting the old-school box design fits perfectly with the brand’s 40th-anniversary run. The face box originally showed up with the Air Jordan 16 in 2001 and instantly changed the vibe around new releases, setting a premium tone that stuck with collectors.

This revival should stay close to the original look, though a few small details might shift. Some collectors believe we could see slight updates to the sizing labels or tissue paper. Others are quietly hoping the retro-style product cards make a return — the kind of small insert that always made unboxing feel like an event. Nothing in that department is confirmed, but the buzz around the packaging alone says enough.

With heritage branding coming back and nostalgia in full swing, 2026 is shaping up to be a fun year for Jordan fans. Expect every pair shipped inside the revived Michael Jordan face box to hit a little differently.

Jordan MVP 92 Gets Its Own “Greater China” Colorway

Nov 21, 2025

The Jordan MVP 92 “Greater China” brings back that early-’90s energy fans still chase today.

This pair lifts clear Air Jordan 7 “Greater China” cues while carving out its own lane, which feels like a smart move for a hybrid model. The tumbled white leather, black suede overlays, and breathable mesh keep the upper sharp, and the red pops instantly echo classic Jordan storytelling.

You can really see the Air Jordan 7 DNA in the jagged midsole peaks and the multi-section outsole. Those triangular pods and circular traction zones look built for court grip while still nodding to retro design. I like how the heel branding leans bold, too, with raised NIKE AIR framed by molded support ribs. It’s a small detail, but it adds attitude.

The embroidered “Flight” script on the tongue ties everything together, giving the shoe that vintage Flight-era edge without feeling dated.

Expect the Jordan MVP 92 “Greater China” to land Holiday 2025 through Nike.com and selected retailers.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Appears in Monochrome “Particle Pink”

Nov 21, 2025

This Nike Air Force 1 Low joins Nike’s Holiday 2025 lineup with a soft pastel look.

The shade covers most of the upper and fits the winter season well. Nike uses suede, smooth leather, and a few plastic pieces to build the layered design. Each material carries the pink tone, giving the shoe a steady and unified feel. Light Silt Red details sit along the edges for a small break in color.

This release stands out because of its Swoosh shape. Nike uses a rounded, sculpted version instead of the usual flat style. The change gives the shoe a different read at first glance. It also works with the mix of textures, adding depth without pushing the design too far.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Particle Pink” is set to drop during Holiday 2025 for $125. Pairs will be available through Nike.com and select retailers.

emmi x ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 Brings Calm Neutrals To The Lineup

Nov 21, 2025

The emmi x ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 lands with the kind of easy, neutral look that fits right into the Japanese label’s calm aesthetic.

emmi has always leaned toward soft palettes and clean lines, so this collab feels like something they’d design even without a brand partner. You get a mix of grey and beige mesh up top, brown hits underneath, and gentle grey overlays that settle the whole shoe into a really balanced place. It’s understated in the best way.

Official photos made the pair look a little green—almost like there was a filter on them—but in-hand shots clear that up fast. The actual color is a smooth, wearable beige that works with basically anything. The light beige touches along the sides and the exposed GEL cushioning keep things from feeling flat.

The emmi x ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 is available now for $150. Get pairs through ASICS.com and selected retailers.

XBOX Crocs Releases November 24th

Nov 20, 2025

UPDATE 11/20/25: Crocs and Xbox are releasing their new controller-inspired Classic Clog, complete with joystick details and Xbox-themed Jibbitz. The collab officially releases at 12 PM ET on November 24th, exclusively on crocs.com.

Original Story 11/17/25:
The Crocs Classic Clog Xbox proves Microsoft is nowhere near slowing down, even with ongoing chatter around its hardware future. Instead, the brand is pushing into footwear with a design that blends gaming nostalgia and modern tech cues better than expected.

This Xbox Crocs clog keeps things bold with a stealthy black build accented by neon green hits. The standout feature sits right on the toe, where Crocs added a molded controller panel. It includes two joysticks, a D-pad, and the signature XYAB buttons. That’s the detail gamers will recognize instantly. Small bumpers along the front add a rugged, almost modded feel.

Compared to past novelty collabs, this Xbox Crocs collaboration feels more intentional. It channels the old Xbox 360 accessory energy but wraps it in the comfort Crocs fans expect. It’s weird, fun, and honestly way more wearable than early photos suggested.

Pairs are scheduled to drop overseas on November 20th, with U.S. retailers still waiting on confirmation. With demand already buzzing online, expect updates soon.

Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 Releases Fall 2026

Nov 20, 2025

The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 is set to headline Fall 2026 with two standout colorways crafted to honor the model’s 35th Anniversary. The boutique continues its strong run with Jordan Brand by reworking the Air Jordan 6 in “Midnight Navy” and “Playful Pink,” each carrying the bold, expressive style Awake NY is known for.

Following its Air Jordan 5 “Racer Blue” and “Arctic Pink”, plus its earlier Air Ship releases, Awake NY now turns its attention to the Air Jordan 6 with “Midnight Navy” and “Playful Pink.” Both versions lean into the brand’s recognizable palette choices, giving the model a noticeably different energy than the Air Jordan 5. The shift mirrors how Awake NY often reshapes each retro through color and storytelling, a pattern that has helped build buzz without even revealing official images.

Each colorway taps into Awake NY’s previous palettes. The “Midnight Navy” pair mixes deep blues with Infrared and Game Royal accents, while the “Playful Pink” version layers soft and vibrant pink tones with touches of Infrared. Although final color blocking isn’t confirmed and early images are mockups, fans can expect Awake NY branding and special packaging to mark the anniversary drop.

Awake Air Jordan 6 Release Date

The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 will release during Fall 2026 through Awake NY, select retailers, and SNKRS.

Nov 20, 2025

The atmos New Balance 1906R “Blue Moon” taps into the rising demand for darker, tech-driven runners. The look carries a moody energy that feels perfect for winter rotations.

This pair flips the brighter mood of the 2022 “White/Gold” colorway. It trades the clean upper for black mesh, metallic overlays, and sharp reflective lines. The contrast feels intentional and adds a modern edge to the 1906R’s classic frame.

Images highlight key features across the shoe. The outsole blends grey, off-white, and soft blue pods with segmented traction. The forefoot uses breathable mesh wrapped in glossy support panels. The N-Lock logo pops thanks to its blue outline. A sculpted heel cage sits above N-ERGY cushioning for a stable stance.

atmos is launching a Japan-only raffle for the “Blue Moon.” Entries close December 4th, with winners announced on December 6th. Join through atmos-tokyo.com.

Stone Island x New Balance Furon Elite v8 Releases December 2025

Nov 20, 2025

New Balance and Stone Island reunite, continuing a partnership that always blends performance tech with modern style.

Their latest take on the Furon Elite V8 pushes that formula further, bringing golden tones and subtle camo patterns that feel pulled from classic Stone Island outerwear. I like how the look stays clean, yet still feels experimental enough to catch your eye on the pitch.

The upper mixes alternating compass logos and New Balance text hits, creating a layered feel without drifting from that signature minimalist approach. Then, the silver heel flash shifts the whole vibe, adding a small but sharp bit of contrast. It’s a reminder of past SI collabs that used one standout detail to anchor the design.

The Stone Island x New Balance Furon Elite V8 launches December 8th for $225. Fans can expect pairs through NewBalance.com, StoneIsland.com, and select football retailers.

Nov 20, 2025

The A$AP Rocky x PUMA Speedcat brings a new take on PUMA’s well-known racing shoe.

This version uses a mix of red, black, and ivory that ties back to early motorsport colors. The upper is made from distressed suede, giving the model a worn, track-ready look that fits the Speedcat’s roots.

PUMA also added several racing-style details. The heel comes with a carbon-fiber style print, while the red laces are wrapped twice for a layered look. Rocky’s signature sits on the tongue, and the outsole has a scorched finish that connects back to old track gear.

Each pair comes in a custom box made to look aged, with A$AP and PUMA branding across the packaging. The presentation follows the style used in other recent PUMA projects tied to past models.

The A$AP Rocky x PUMA Speedcat is available now for $130, only through the PUMA app. See official images and full launch info at PUMA.com.

ESENES Frog Clogs Bring Amphibian Energy For One Wild Release

Nov 20, 2025

ESENES Frog Clogs arrive with one of the brand’s most eccentric ideas yet, and fans of oddball footwear might call this their most charming experiment so far.

The bulky rubber sole teams with a green shell that instantly channels the playful spirit behind the design. It reminds me a bit of how Crocs once leaned into character themes, but ESENES takes the theatrical side a step further.

The faux frog eyes on the leather forefoot panel give these clogs real personality, while the brown crest shapes a nose-like detail that ties the look together. Inside, the nylon bootie adds a surprising comfort boost, which is a nice touch considering how wild the exterior appears.

ESENES has built a reputation for dropping left-field concepts, and this pair feels like another future cult favorite. The ESENES Frog Clogs arrive November 21, 2025, exclusively through esenesworldwide.com.

Original Story 8/25/15:
On September 2nd, Nike will release an updated, limited edition Nike Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” boot to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the video that made its predecessor famous.

The new boot pays homage to the Nike Air Legend Tiempo that was released in 2005 via “Crossbar,” the first YouTube video to garner a million views.

Much like the original, Tiempo “Touch of Gold” features an all-white upper with exquisite golden accents and branding that honor its signature athlete, Ronaldinho. The new version includes a gradient treatment on the sole plate, transitioning from a clean white forefoot to a golden heel. Ronaldinho’s name spreads across both sole plates in the forefoot and his signature R10 logo appears on the classic Tiempo tongue.

Only 3,000 pairs of the Nike Tiempo Legend “Touch of Gold” have been made for its 2015 reissue and each is individually numbered on the lateral side of the heel.

Nike Tiempo Legend FG Touch of Gold 2025 Release Date

The Ronaldinho x Nike Tiempo Legend FG “Touch of Gold” will see a global release during Holiday 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $275 USD.

Nike Air Max 95 “Smoke Grey” Sample Previews Spring 2026 Release

By

Nov 20, 2025

The Nike Air Max 95 “Smoke Grey” is already gaining attention months before its expected Spring 2026 debut. A new GS sample recently surfaced, giving the first real look at how Nike plans to expand its growing lineup of “big bubble” Air Max 95 styles. The early images come from @con_mcnaughton, who also confirmed that a men’s version is currently in development with upgraded materials.

This grade school sample leans into a grey-and-black palette across the signature layered upper. Smooth leather panels transition into breathable grey mesh, creating a clean gradient that fits the Air Max 95’s classic DNA. Soft grey accents hit the tongue, eyelets, and laces, while the visible Air units feature a faint blue tint for a subtle contrast. A full black midsole and outsole finish the build with a simple, sturdy look.

Pairs are circulating early, but Nike hasn’t finalized a release date. The colorway is tentatively lined up for March 2026, with more info expected once official product images appear. With both GS and men’s sizing planned, the model looks positioned to be a strong addition to the Air Max 95 catalog.

Pharrell and Louis Vuitton Unveil $85,000 Timberland Boots Made With 18K Gold

By

Mario Briguglio

Nov 20, 2025

The Pharrell Louis Vuitton Timberland Boots might be the most outrageous remix of the work boot we’ve ever seen. Pharrell stretches the silhouette well beyond its blue-collar roots by covering LV’s monogram leather with 18k gold hardware. Instant luxury.

Each panel is wrapped in rich Italian leather, stamped with LV florals that feel more runway than jobsite. Even the Timberland tree logo gets a gold makeover on the heel, while classic red-and-yellow rope laces add a tiny nod to the original DNA. The gum outsole stays untouched, which weirdly grounds the whole thing.

Only 50 pairs exist, and every pair comes stored inside a custom Louis Vuitton trunk—very on-brand for Pharrell’s approach since taking over LV’s men’s division. This project also connects back to last year’s Timberland x LV anniversary pieces, showing Pharrell isn’t done exploring that lane.

Anyone trying to secure a pair won’t find them at retail. You’ll need a private seller, a collector channel, or serious connections. Which honestly matches the boot’s vibe.
