adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Core Black” Releases November 15th

UPDATE 11/12/25: A release date for the “Core Black” adidas AE 2 is set for November 15th, 2025 via adidas.com.

Original Story 9/11/25:
Following the massive success of Anthony Edwards’ adidas AE 1, the sequel arrives with high expectations. The AE 1 was a near “Sneaker of the Year” contender and became so popular that adidas extended its run, delaying the AE 2 to release more colorways of the original. Nearly two years later, the adidas Anthony Edwards 2 finally debuts, and official images of the sleek “Core Black” colorway have surfaced.

The pair takes an overwhelmingly black base and uses white piping to accent the TPU louvres and heel counter. The black textile midfoot panel, Primeknit collar and neoprene tongue are minimal touches that keep the design looking sleek. It’s only the pops of bright red on Edwards’ personal logo on the tongue and the Three Stripes branding on the heel tab that really bring the contrast. Underfoot, the brand utilizes Lightstrike and Lightboost cushioning technologies, along with a propulsion plate and herringbone traction pattern for explosive performance on the court.

Initial leaks of the AE 2 received a polarizing response with some fans wondering if it could match the hype of its predecessor. Yet, as more official photos and on-foot looks continue to release, sneakerheads are coming around to the design. This “Core Black” rendition, in particular, features a clean and versatile execution that finds the sweet spot between performance and style. It may not have the OG game-changing aura of the AE 1 but is creating its own legacy in adidas Basketball.

adidas AE 2 Core Black Release Date

The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Core Black” will release November 15, 2025 at adidas.com and select retailers. It will have a retail price of $130 USD.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Morse Code Surfaces With Green Croc Skin

UPDATE 11/12/25: New photos of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Morse Code” covered in “Cargo Khaki” croc skin. A release date has yet to be announced, but expected Holiday 2025.

Original Story 11/6/25:
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Morse Code Croc Skin” is likely the most surprising addition to the expanding Morse Code collection. The line has seen quiet releases on the Killshot 2, Cortez and even the Total 90 III, but this pair ventures down an entirely different path, one that’s far more luxe and lifestyle-oriented.

Smooth leather is out and a croc-embossed upper in deep green is in on this Air Force 1 that immediately elevates the silhouette’s profile (think boutique dress shoe meets street staple). Black leather lining and waxed rope laces pair with the embossed upper for a nice play on texture while a black midsole keeps the look grounded. As for the rest of the collection, the Morse Code reference is subtle, but present in the form of small, gold dot-and-dash marks on the heel and insoles that spell out “Nike.” The subtlety, in this case, is key because the detailing is not easily spotted and might be lost on most folks. Better that way, in my opinion.

A release date for the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Morse Code Croc Skin” has yet to be announced, but one its expected sometime Holiday 2025 or early 2026.

adidas Unites Nations in Style With The Football Federation Pack

The adidas Football Federation Pack takes international pride to a new level by merging national colors and DNA from adidas classics into one collection.

The collection features 4 shoes in total, the Superstar Argentina, adidas Japan, adidas Mexicana and adidas Italia.

In full national colors, the Mexicana features an all-green upper with a red heel tab and gold trim above white Three Stripes. In contrast, the Japan and Italia pairs are clean and simple in blue tones with only subtle graphic accents. Horizontal striping on Japan gives a crisp and minimal look, while Italia opts for a more old-school feel with a leafy pattern print on its upper.

The adidas Football “Federation” Pack will be available on November 15th on adidas.com and at select retailers.

adidas ClimaCool 2026 Preview Shows Off Some Promising Releases

The latest batch of adidas Climacool 2026 models was spotted overseas today, allowing us a preview of where the brand is going with one of its most adventurous ranges.

When it comes to Climacool, that means ventilation-centered performance design. However, these models move further toward sculpted, lifestyle-inspired silhouettes. That should stand out to veterans of the series, because running influence is on the nose in shoes like the Climacool Vento and Climacool Boost.

The two pairs in question feature ridged, streamlined uppers, slip-on construction, and exaggerated proportions that appear 3D-printed. They’re the kind of kicks you can see someone wearing when they’re in motion, travelling, or living. Sneaker culture would call that being on-trend, because performance and street continue to blur in footwear. It’s also interesting to see how much of the design vocabulary is futuristic in function, yet still grounded in the Three Stripes’ heritage. Sneakerheads will zero in on that part, for sure.

We don’t have a firm release date on these yet, but expect them to drop throughout 2026 into 2027.

adidas adistar XLG 2.0 Seamlessly Blends Black and Metallic Silver

This adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 revives the brand’s early-2000’s performance runner language with a fresh take on the color and details.

The upper features breathable mesh with layered synthetic overlays, and the molded Three Stripes forming a structural cage along the sides. Reflective and Silver Metallic accents are placed across the heel, midsole shank, and toe overlays to contrast the mostly black build.

A chunky midsole features adiPRENE cushioning designed for stability and long-wear comfort. Underfoot, the adiWear outsole is detailed with a segmented traction layout inspired by distance-training shoes from the Adistar’s heritage. The silhouette lines up with the current wave of retro-tech runners re-emerging across lifestyle and performance channels.

The adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 “Black/Silver Metallic” will drop in 2026 for $150 USD via adidas.com and select retailers.

Tokyo Design Studio Brings Back The MT10T With A Quiet, Functional Edge

Tokyo Design Studio breathed new life into the New Balance MT10T, embracing a no-nonsense aesthetic and functional design.

The silhouette first launched as New Balance took a step towards barefoot-style trail running shoes, and this refreshed drop maintains that vibe. It features a sticky Vibram outsole and smooth suede upper that’s completed with a pull-cord closure that results in a slip-on fit.

Tokyo Design Studio brings the MT10T in two understated colorways — Blue and Brown — both combining suede and rugged synthetic overlays. The silhouette is functional with some water-shoe sensibility, making it more appropriate for mild, warm weather.

The New Balance MT10T will release November 15th at select retailers, with a wider release at NewBalance.com.

Jordan Tatum 4 x Air Jordan 11 Low IE “Welcome To St. Louis” Pack Releases November 2025

UPDATE 11/11/25: Official photos of the Jayson Tatum x Jordan “Welcome to St. Louis” Pack have been added below. The shoes release tomorrow, November 12th via Nike.com, priced at $355 USD.

Original Story 10/13/25:
Jayson Tatum may miss the season’s opening games, but his Jordan Brand spotlight isn’t fading anytime soon. After introducing the Jordan Tatum 4 “St. Louis” earlier this fall, the brand is expanding the tribute with an exclusive “Welcome To St. Louis” Pack featuring both the Tatum 4 and Air Jordan 11 Low IE.

Both sneakers honor Tatum’s hometown and its beloved St. Louis Cardinals, drawing inspiration from the team’s powder-blue uniforms. The Tatum 4 mixes nubuck, mesh, and hairy suede with bold red-to-yellow gradient accents, symbolizing the Cardinals’ bat-and-bird logo. The Air Jordan 11 Low IE mirrors that palette with a hairy suede upper and gradient-dipped mudguard, keeping the pack visually cohesive and premium.

This two-pair collection continues Tatum’s “World Tour” series, spotlighting city-exclusive drops in St. Louis, London, Shanghai, and Tokyo. The St. Louis edition is expected to release November 2025, priced at $150 USD for the Tatum 4 and $190 USD for the Jordan 11 Low IE. Both pairs come dressed in Cobalt Pulse, Metallic Silver, University Red, and University Gold.

Even though Tatum is out, his line is still popping — showcasing personal anecdotes along with hometown love. That’s what sneakerheads cheer.

Jordan Tatum St. Louis Pack Release Date

Expect the Jordan Tatum 4 x Air Jordan 11 Low IE “St. Louis” Pack to release November 12, 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $355 USD.

Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 Mule Releases Fall 2026

Jordan Brand and designer Mowalola Ogunlesi are teaming up once again — this time for a futuristic reimagining of a heritage silhouette. The Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 Mule brings the Ferrari-inspired original into the lifestyle realm, making the Air Jordan 14s debut mule of its kind.

Scheduled for Fall 2026, this backless iteration merges Black, Metallic Silver, and Burnt Red colorways, remaining true to Mowalola’s bold fashion language. Though official photos remain to be seen, initial leaks describe her characteristic design elements on the lateral panel, accompanied by a matte black midsole and deep red overlays. The iconic Ferrari emblem is also anticipated to be redesigned, in line with the mule aesthetic.

Pushing the envelope is nothing new for Mowalola and Jordan. Her history with the brand is full of boundary-pushing collaborations that have resulted in coveted silhouettes. It’s not hard to imagine this pairing doing the same. From the streetwear bravado to the high-fashion experimentation, it all works for this Jordan 14. Slip-on silhouettes are a hot trend on and off the runway right now. That, combined with the model’s popularity, gives this mule a real sleeper potential for collectors.

Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 Mule Release Date

The Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 Mule drops September 18, 2026 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

Shake James x adidas Cranberry 5 Tells A Milwaukee Comeback Story

The Cranberry 5 comes with a backstory that resonates on a deeper level than most releases.

Shake crafted this colorway after beating cancer and re-building his life. The cranberry hues nod to Wisconsin’s state fruit, but also pay homage to Milwaukee’s people who supported him. The tones feel warm, rooted, and proud. It’s storytelling you can see.

The release also marks the permanent reopening of the original Black Market location as the new home for JAY ACADEMY. The on-site academy will provide year-round support to Milwaukee youth via tutoring, mentorship, creative coaching, DJ classes, and sneaker design workshops. It will provide a space for young people to learn and express themselves.

A series of Milwaukee-first events are planned in partnership with adidas Cornerstone Community and Shake. Expect a Sneaker Fair (think: hands-on, in-person sneaker sessions), grand reopening celebration, comedy night supporting local talent, and an afterparty uniting culture leaders. It’s a community moment, not just a release.

The Shake James x Adistar Control 5 “Cranberry” releases on November 15, 2025 through CLICKS in-store and online.

KITH x ASICS Marvel Vs. Capcom Pack Available For Pre-Order

UPDATE 11/11/25: The full KITH x Marvel vs. Capcom x ASICS lineup is now live for entry on the KITH app. Four drops are listed: two double-box sets — GEL-Nimbus 10.1 “Iron Man vs. Mega Man” and GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Captain America vs. Guile” — both priced at $450. The GEL-Kayano 14 “Ryu” and GEL-Kayano 14.1 “Wolverine” release individually at $220 each. Entries are open now, so check the KITH app if you’re planning to shoot your shot.

Original Story 11/10/25:
The Kith x Marvel vs. Capcom x ASICS Collection continues Ronnie Fieg’s push into gaming nostalgia. This capsule builds on earlier Kith arcade drops, where fans got working cabinets loaded with classic fighters. Instead of just referencing the games, the Kith Marvel ASICS rollout taps directly into the vibe of late-90s character select screens and bold stage colors. It feels personal, not corporate.

It seems that each pair is a nod to an individual fighter. In the earliest images, Iron Man and Mega Man were tied to GEL-Nimbus 10.1s and Guile and Ryu were paired with GEL-Kayano 12.1s and GEL-Kayano 14s, respectively. The box art for both of these alludes to Captain America and Wolverine being in the mix as well, which further supports the idea that the pack will be a collection of character-themed sneakers. This is the type of detail sneakerheads will value, as it keeps the essence of the roster intact.

The Kith x Marvel vs. Capcom x ASICS Collection drops November 14, 2025, online and in-store at Kith. Select pairs may arrive in collector edition footwear sets, similar to last year’s Super Villains release. Given how strong the Ronnie Fieg collaboration series has been lately, expect hype to build quickly.

Air Jordan 12 GS “Pearl Pink” Releases November 2025

UPDATE 11/11/25: Official photos of the Air Jordan 12 GS “Pearl Pink” have been added below. The shoes release November 21st.

Original Story 10/27/25:
Holiday season releases are heating up, and the Air Jordan 12 “Pearl Pink” is shaping up to be one of the highlights for younger sneaker fans. Following the return of the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma”, Jordan Brand adds this soft-toned pair to its festive 2025 lineup.

Nike builds the Air Jordan 12 in White and Pearl Pink, pairing top-tier tumbled leather and smooth overlays for a classic two-tone look. The colorway throws pink on the mudguard, outsole, lace loops, and pull tab for a soft pop that complements the luxurious, playful tone. It’s a look we haven’t seen since some of the last generation’s fan-favorite colorways like “French Blue” and “Cherry” — only this time, it’s kids-specific.

Air Jordan 12 Pearl Pink Release Date

The Air Jordan 12 GS “Pearl Pink” will drop November 21, 2025 at Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers. Available in grade school ($150), preschool ($90), and toddler ($75) sizes, this pair delivers classic Jumpman style in a youthful palette—just in time for the holidays.

Nike Ja 3 “Liquid Silver” Covered in Cobalt Bliss With Chrome Swooshes

The Nike Ja 3 “Liquid Silver” keeps Morant’s signature line in motion, revealing yet a mother new colorway for 2026.

This colorway lands right in the heart of the Grizzlies’ palette, blending that familiar Cobalt Bliss shade with metallic pops that feel made for FedExForum lights. The upper mixes breathable mesh and sculpted synthetic overlays, while both Swooshes come dressed in a brushed chrome finish that actually stands out more in hand than in leaked photos. That’s the detail sneakerheads will notice when they lace these up courtside.

Ever since the first Ja 3 pairs arrived during last year’s postseason run, the silhouette has established its own identity. It’s lighter, quicker, and more aggressive than the Ja 1. The traction pattern is designed for quick changes of direction, which aligns with Morant’s stop-start burst.

The Nike Ja 3 “Liquid Silver” is expected to release February 13, 2026 through Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com for $125 USD.

Kith Releasing “Marvel vs. Capcom” Action Figures With ASICS Collection

The Kith Marvel vs. Capcom Collection reimagines the arcade classic as streetwear. Apparel, accessories, skate decks, rugs, and a new line of ASICS shoes get character-driven designs.

Stop-motion studio PlasticAction directed a short film to premiere the collection. It stars exclusive action figures from Kith, Hasbro, and Jada Toys. Wolverine, Captain America, Ryu, and Mega Man fight in the street outside a life-sized Kith storefront. Longtime fans of the game are in for an instant jolt of arcade nostalgia.

Trucker hats, posters, woven blankets, and home goods are also part of the collection. Kith’s own Hyper Mega Tech handheld and a Marvel vs. Capcom Arcade1Up cabinet both nod to the gaming roots of the franchise. PSA-graded comic books will come with select pairs of the ASICS sneakers. That gives the collection a really strong collector’s appeal.

The Kith Marvel vs. Capcom Collection is available November 14 at Kith stores, Kith.com, and the Kith app.

Division Street x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ducks of a Feather” Releases November 2025

UPDATE 11/12/25: For full coverage on the DOAF x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Duck or Egg” Pack, CLICK HERE.

Original Story:
The Division Street x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ducks of a Feather” leans directly into Oregon pride. This pair doesn’t tiptoe around the theme — it embraces it with school spirit, humor, and a nod to long-running Nike–Oregon ties. The white leather base keeps things straightforward, while Oregon green pops on the Swoosh, lining, and outsole. That contrast lands clean.

However, the playful touches are what really tell the story. Embroidered orange duck feet sit on the heel, and the tongue reads DOAF (“Ducks of a Feather”), a reference that longtime Ducks fans will appreciate. The cracked-egg hangtag with a cartoon duck climbing out? That’s the detail sneakerheads will smile at — it adds personality without turning the shoe into a novelty pair.

Nike’s connection with Oregon’s athletic community has deep roots, stretching from uniform innovation to NIL support through Division Street. This pair feels like a continuation of that culture rather than a marketing play.

The Division Street x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ducks of a Feather” will release on November 27th via GOAT.

Lamine Yamal Debuts The Sp5der x adidas Superstar “Red” Colorway

The Sp5der x adidas Superstar just got its first real moment in the wild, thanks to Lamine Yamal. The 18-year-old football phenom pulled up in a bold Red and Black colorway, signaling the start of a major collaboration era between Young Thug’s Sp5der brand and adidas. And honestly, this one feels like the right cultural alignment — music, streetwear, and global sport converging.

The shoe maintains the classic Superstar shell toe but shifts several key elements. The Black Three Stripes sit closer to the laces, echoing the adidas Supermodified. The tongues look slightly puffed, adding volume without going full skate shoe. Subtle spider web textures overlay the red leather, while a Sp5der charm and outsole branding tie the concept together. That’s the detail sneakerheads will catch immediately.

A second Brown and Yellow pair previewed earlier this year at Sp5der’s Sweet Tooth Rodeo event, suggesting a themed rollout rather than a one-off. And having Yamal debut the pair says a lot — Sp5der has always thrived in youth-driven style spaces.

The Sp5der x adidas Superstar collection is set for Spring 2026, alongside matching apparel and accessories.

Ja Morant Debuting Nike Ja 3 “Welcome To The Garden” For Knicks Matchup

The Nike Ja 3 “Welcome to the Garden” brings that unmistakable MSG energy. When players hit Madison Square Garden, the atmosphere just feels different, and Ja Morant is leaning right into that moment. He previewed this new colorway ahead of Memphis’ matchup in New York, tapping into the arena’s history of spotlight performances.

This pair runs with bold teal and black tones, which instantly recall his earlier “Scratch 3.0” pairs. However, the details shift. White branding and a handstyle “JA” graphic add a gritty street-level feel — almost like a nod to subway walls and downtown paint markers. There’s also a small leaf accent near the midsole, hinting at New York’s park culture. That’s the kind of detail sneakerheads will clock immediately.

As of now, this looks like a player exclusive. No release schedule, no retail talk — just Ja bringing heat to the Garden stage. But we’ve seen “PE-only” colorways make surprise retail cameos before. So, worth watching.
