UA Curry Series 7 “World Tour” Releases August 22nd

UPDATE 8/12/25: Under Armour and Curry Brand have announced the Curry Series 7, developed from Steph Curry’s concept of creating a basketball shoe with the same comfort as his 2023 prototype running shoe. Curry Series 7 will offer marathon-like cushioning and premium in-game support with a supercritical foam midsole, long-lasting UA Flow outsole and 3D-molded shank. The Curry Series 7 debut “World Tour” colorway will be available starting August 22nd for $160 through UA, Dick’s Sporting Goods and select retailers.

Original Story 8/5/25:
Stephen Curry’s name recognition has grown exponentially around the world off the court—and now on it—with the forthcoming Curry Series 7 “World Tour” sneaker. After drawing huge crowds at his previous stops throughout Asia, Under Armour and Curry Brand are delivering fans an exciting new drop that honors the international game.

This release is decked out in a royal purple base with turquoise, yellow, red, and pink accents that give it a feel of dynamism. The Curry Series 7 shares many hallmarks of a performance runner in its sculpted midsole, flared heel, propulsion plate and signature UA Flow outsole.

Despite the name “Series 7,” this sneaker is not part of a linear lineup. Instead, the name is an ode to the excitement of a 7-game NBA playoff series. However, the silhouette does pick up on certain elements from the original Curry 7, like the overall shape and plate placement.

Its outsole features aggressive patterning and a refined silhouette that call back to Under Armour’s legacy of performance-driven innovations, including the Curry Flow 2, while also projecting the silhouette forward. This sneaker is versatile from the hardwood to the runway.

The Curry Series 7 “World Tour” will be available August 22, 2025 on UnderArmour.com and at select global retailers for $160 USD.

FIRST LOOK: Nike SB Dunk Low “Mineral Slate” (2026)

Nike SB is expanding its Dunk Low lineup with the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low “Mineral Slate”, expected to release in Summer 2026.

First seen via @sbheadsbe, this skate-ready edition keeps the Dunk Low’s iconic shape while introducing a fresh color mix. Mineral Slate suede covers the toe box, mid-foot, and heel panels, offset by soft Particle Rose overlays. A Dark Raisin Swoosh is used on the tongue, while the sole is a timeless Gum Light Brown.

The silhouette stays true to its SB roots by using Zoom Air for impact protection, along with a padded tongue to enhance boardfeel. The model itself is a sample that has “PROPERTY OF NIKE INC – NOT FOR RESALE” stamped on the shoe lining, meaning the pair was most likely one of the first versions created during the design process.

Storytelling has yet to be made available for this model, but it is continuing on Nike SB’s path of taking retro basketball-inspired DNA and making it into a fit for the modern-day skater.

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Mineral Slate” is expected to launch in Summer 2026 through select skate shops and Nike.com. Retail pricing is set at $120 USD.

Jay Chou Teases PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95 Collab

Taiwanese pop superstar Jay Chou is teaming up once again with Nike and his PHANTACI label, this time on the Jay Chou PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95. The musician is no stranger to fashioning sneakers with themes that pay homage to his music, and for this collaboration, he turned to guitars as the muse for the design.

From the first images, there is an attachable PHANTACI guitar pick necklace on a gold chain, a pearloid Jay Chou tongue logo, and tortoiseshell accents that are familiar to any guitar enthusiast. Additional features on the shoe include multi-layered grey leather parts with gradient effects and a textured mesh covering for contrast. The heel tab also has gold “PHANTACI” lettering for the finishing touch.

The PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95 continues on the path set by Chou’s most recent “Grand Piano” Air Max 1 by fusing together a variety of musical elements with high-end kicks. The Air Max 95 was selected as the base model, partly for its signature latticework on the sides and partly for the model’s history of being a staple in sportswear and streetwear culture.

Nike has not officially set a release date for the Jay Chou PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95, but it could be hitting some select retail partners and possibly Nike SNKRS later this year.

Nike Dunk Low “Abominable Snowman” Brings Fuzzy Yeti Fun for Kids

Nike has another feel-good holiday release on the way with the Nike Dunk Low “Abominable Snowman” in pre-school sizing. The silhouette is inspired by the infamous snow-loving yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, so it makes sense that it’s one of the Nikes colder weather offerings.

While most of the upper is clad in high-pile fuzzy material reminiscent of a yeti’s fur, the smooth Celestine Blue toe box is paired with Green Abyss accents on the Swoosh and lining. Branding on the tongue and heel also feature an icy theme to continue the wintry aesthetic, while the inner message on the tongue, “Make Your Own Tracks” plays into the playful theme of this release.

Nike also included a plush keychain of a smiling yeti holding onto a Swoosh. The keychain, along with the furry construction, are similar in feel to past fan-favorite releases like the Grateful Dead x Nike SB Dunk Pack and “Three Bears” pack, though it’s not a collaboration with the band.

The Nike Dunk Low “Abominable Snowman” will release Holiday 2025 in pre-school sizes for $120 USD. We may also see grade school sizing, but there aren’t any known adult pairs on the way. The Dunks will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers as well as Nike.com.

Deion Sanders Reveals Nike Diamond Turf Proto 92 Samples

As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare for a 2025 season with new starting quarterback Kaidon Salter, Deion Sanders has been making headlines for something other than football. With Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in the NFL, it’s time to turn our focus towards the antics of “Prime Time” away from the game, including these four unreleased Nike Air Diamond Turf Proto 92 samples.

Gifted to Sanders for his birthday, the collection debuted during a team meeting and was later showcased in his office alongside Deion Sanders Jr. Each pair highlights a different chapter of Sanders’ style and legacy. The silhouettes include a classic black, white, and gold matching the team’s colors; a vibrant yellow suede; a clean white and red throwback nodding to his time with the San Francisco 49ers and their team color, including glossy patent leather overlays; and a loud purple and pink colorway that Sanders said would “look good on Cam’ron.”

The Nike Air Diamond Turf Proto 92 originally debuted in the early ’90s as a cross-training sneaker built for Sanders’ dual-sport dominance in the NFL and MLB. Known for its midfoot strap, layered paneling, and bold branding, the model became a staple in both sports and streetwear circles.

No official retail release or launch date has been confirmed from Nike for the prototypes, but expect more out of this collection as it renews nostalgia for the famed Air Diamond Turf Proto 92.
