Ja Morant Leaks Upcoming Nike Ja 3 Colorways

The Nike Ja 3 colorways lineup just expanded in a major way. Ja Morant has previewed seven upcoming takes on his third signature model, shifting attention back to the court and away from the ongoing headlines surrounding Memphis. The Ja 3 has quietly developed a reputation as one of Nike’s more experimental performance sneakers, and this batch keeps that energy alive.

Fans who track leaks will recognize a few pairs. The Valentine’s Day pink/white edition, Chinese New Year red/gold, Twelve Time teal/orange, and the Murray State navy/gold have been circulating online for months. Morant recently called out the fake waves on social media, so seeing official pairs helps reset the narrative.

The new looks offer some real storytelling potential. There’s a bold yellow and black pair with a cracked red Swoosh that gives off “Bruce Lee” vibes dubbed, “Let Me Be Ja”. Another features a tropical-style ombré fade that stretches from upper to outsole — almost like a summer “At Dawn” on foot. A Memphis throwback-colored pair rounds things out, mixing deep navy with teal and yellow accents.

While release details have yet to be announced, you can expect each of these Ja 3s to begin releasing early 2026.

Muthoni Kimani Previews Nike Equestrian Boot Ahead Of The 2028 Olympics

Nike’s Equestrian Boot is getting its official first look courtesy of Kenyan rider Muthoni Kimani.

On a leafy hillside, Kimani gave an early look at the performance-minded boot in a matching training kit. Designed by Tobie Hatfield and Leo Chang, the silhouette features a full-length asymmetric zip, 3D textured shaping, and nuanced detail cues inspired by Maasai beadwork. Kimani’s personal lion-head icon is a stamp of authenticity not a designer-approved logo for hype.

Nike has dabbled in this space without much fanfare. In 2008, the Nike Ippeas Boot was launched with a Zoom cushioned sole and molded heel for Olympic Equestrian athletes. The new iteration is sleeker, sportier, and more intrinsically linked to an athlete’s story.

There is no word on a public release date, but Nike traditionally reserves performance-first shoes for the last possible moment before the Games. Keep an eye out for more attention—and potentially a retail drop—as LA approaches.

Nike N7 Fall 2025 Collection Celebrates Indigenous Heritage

The Nike N7 Fall 2025 Collection is back for Native American Heritage Month, and it’s grounded in land, culture and community. Nike’s long-standing initiative for Indigenous youth programs continues with this season, which stays true to its roots through well-meaning design references to the outdoors.

Arriving first are the Nike Pegasus 41 and V5 RNR, as well as woven cargo pants, Phoenix fleece crews and casual tees. The color scheme brings to mind sage, sand and anthracite, spanning the wide range of landscapes found on tribal homelands. And the graphics have an authentic, less corporate touch.

Actress Amber Midthunder leads the campaign alongside runners Kutoven Stevens and Lenise Omeasoo. Midthunder, Stevens and Omeasoo add depth to the Nike N7 Collection, elevating its presence past tokenism.

The Nike N7 Collection is available now at Nike.com and select retailers.

Air Jordan 3 “Champagne & Oysters” Releases November 2025

UPDATE 11/7/25: Official photos of the women’s Air Jordan 3 “Champagne & Oysters” have been added below. A release date is set for November 22nd, 2025.

Original Story 11/4/25:
First rumored in February, the Air Jordan 3 “Champagne and Oysters” is now officially surfacing ahead of its Holiday 2025 release. The premium pair lives up to its nickname — elegant, celebratory, and built for style.

The design features a mix of Sail, Pale Ivory, Metallic Gold, and Team Gold across tumbled leather uppers. Rather than elephant print overlays, Jordan Brand uses smooth panels for a more high-end contrast. Gold accents on the eyelets and heel add a champagne shimmer, and the icy outsole finishes it off.

While “Champagne and Oysters” isn’t the official name, it suits the shoe’s high-end appeal well. This is a colorway that blends heritage and high fashion — that’s the detail collectors will appreciate.

Air Jordan 3 Champagne Oysters Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Champagne and Oysters” releases November 22, 2025, in women’s sizing for $205 USD through Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Flightposite “Midnight Navy” Releases November 2025

UPDATE 11/7/25: Official photos of the Nike Air Flightposite “Midnight Navy” have been released (see below). The colorway is very similar to the player exclusive model worn by Jason Kidd back in 2000. This drop will drop on November 21, 2025.

Original Story 7/8/25:
Nike brings back another retro favorite with the upcoming Nike Air Flightposite “Midnight Navy” colorway. Unveiled during the SNKRS Showcase, this release revives a cult classic from the early 2000s with a fresh twist.

The sneaker features a striking iridescent Foamposite upper that shifts between deep purple and green tones. Midnight Navy covers the zippered shroud, neoprene tongue, and outsole for a sharp, futuristic contrast. A mini Swoosh and carbon fiber midfoot plate complete the bold design.

Though it’s a new colorway, fans will recognize similarities to Jason Kidd’s 2000 All-Star PE. The design echoes elements from the iconic Eggplant and Carbon Flightposites, adding to its retro appeal. This release also pairs with the upcoming Baroque Brown edition previewed by Nike.

On the performance side, the Air Flightposite offers full-length Zoom Air and a one-piece Foamposite shell for elite-level support. Its laceless zip-up closure provides a sleek fit, perfect for both casual wear and court action.

Nike Flightposite Midnight Navy Release Date

The Nike Air Flightposite “Midnight Navy” will release November 21st, 2025 at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $250 USD in men’s sizing.

With its eye-catching upper and nostalgic roots, this Flightposite is a must-have for Foamposite fans and sneaker collectors. Be sure to mark your calendar for the release date.

Nike GT Cut 4 “Black” Releases Spring 2026

The Nike GT Cut 4 “Black” features a dramatic, shadowed aesthetic with a smooth, velvety upper.

The sidewall has lifted, blade-like ridges that give it depth and dimension. The medial-side is paneled in a ribbed mesh pattern with layered muscle-like structure. Detailing feels crisp and intentional, giving the model a near sculptural quality.

The midsole is a gradient of metallic silver on the inside and icy blue on the outside. It provides a slight contrast while not distracting from the blackout theme. On the bottom, the shoe has ZoomX foam stacked with Air Zoom Strobel for responsive cushioning and a speedy court feel. Guards and quick-footed players will feel the difference on drives and cuts.

You can expect the Nike GT Cut 4 “Black” to launch in Spring 2026 for $200 through Nike.com and select retailers.

BAPE x F1 Las Vegas Capsule Captures Grand Prix Energy

BAPE and F1 Las Vegas teamed up in time for the 2025 Grand Prix weekend. Racing and streetwear collide in this collaboration.

This capsule collection gets the essence of the city. Especially in the neon-infused Las Vegas Camo, which draws influence from the night race.

The full collection features a bomber, SHARK half-zip hoodie, APE HEAD tee, and BABY MILO tee. All have the LV race stop markings and graphic details inspired by the F1 circuit. This drop also includes an APE HEAD tee that uses the actual imagery captured from the track.

Details like the podium take-off for the 6-panel cap and BAPE x F1 Las Vegas-themed BE@RBRICK wearing the same camo are also part of the collection. Collectible aspects are another BAPE crossover staple that often involves art.

The BAPE x F1 Las Vegas will be available from November 8–December 6 at the F1 Las Vegas Hub located in The Venetian. A second drop is in-store only at the BAPE Las Vegas flagship on November 22.

Nike Daybreak Releasing in “Moon Particle” and “Anthracite”

The Nike Daybreak returns in two minimalist colorways: Moon Particle and Anthracite.

The upper gets a full-leather treatment, rather than the usual mix of mesh and suede. This creates a smooth, softened shape that feels luxe, but still keeps its heritage DNA.

Stitched outlines form the Swoosh and toe rather than stacked panels. Rope-style “Coconut Milk” laces, leather tongue tags, and a debossed heel logo are all small finishing touches. On their own, the updates work quietly, but collectively they step the Daybreak past its old-school retro setup.

Beneathfoot, the Bill Bowerman-designed waffle outsole remains unchanged. It keeps the shoe tethered to Nike’s early running history, while the upper takes more of a lifestyle bent.

Moon Particle has a utilitarian every day tone. Anthracite is darker, and more reserved.

Both drop November 18, 2025 for $115 at Nike.com and select retailers.

New Balance 997 “Dried Apricot” Offers A Seasonal Essential

The New Balance 997 “Dried Apricot” has that laidback autumnal vigor sneaker aficionados enjoy.

997s have always been a staple of the Made in USA line, and this release certainly continues that tradition. Pairs include suede overlays in this deep apricot hue, atop a breathable cream mesh, and on top of the ever-reliable ENCAP midsole. The muted, golden colorway is right up NB fans alley, a little reminiscent of gentle sunlight on weathered stone.

The nubbly suede around the heel and tongue provide a little artisanal charm that the 997 is known for. The shade is also a little reminiscent of those earlier New Balance Earthtone Made in USA releases, though this iteration is a little softer and more subdued. That’s really the key part that will appeal to those sneakerheads who prefer a little understated intention in their classics.

The New Balance 997 “Dried Apricot” will release November 13 via NewBalance.com and select retailers for $200 USD.

Victor Victor x Timberland 6-Inch Boot Releases November 2025

The Victor Victor x Timberland 6-Inch Boot injects some new attitude into one of the most familiar shapes out there.

The timeless Wheat suede upper is back to pay homage to the boot’s rich history in workwear and hip-hop culture. But designer Steven Victor makes some understated, yet significant tweaks that take the mood in a different direction.

A deeper blue suede collar references Detroit and gives the boot a subtle hometown narrative. That’s the type of nuance sneakerheads will read. Victor’s dog logo is stamped on the tongue and echoed on custom leather hangtags, giving the boot his own hallmark. Even Timberland’s signature tree logo near the heel is replaced with “Victor Victor” text, a simple, unobtrusive co-branded moment that doesn’t overtake the boot’s DNA.

It still feels tough, dependable, and familiar—just more intentional. An astute update, rather than a reinvention.

The Victor Victor x Timberland 6-Inch Boot will launch November 14th on Timberland.com and select stores.

Puka Nacua And Jordan Brand Give Harbor City Raiders A Day To Remember

Jordan Brand energy from Puka Nacua continues to ripple off the field. The Rams wideout surprised the Harbor City Raiders, a youth football team, with an exclusive VIP Game Day experience that kids will no doubt remember for the rest of their lives.

The day began at Jumpman LA, where the players received gifts of exclusive Jordan apparel. To start with, that’s a move that references the brand’s long history of investing in the future generation of athletes. Channel a bit of the classic Jordan community activations. Now swap out Charlotte for L.A. Then the team made its way to SoFi Stadium to enjoy the Rams game against the Saints. There they saw the game action up close.

It’s refreshing to see a rising star player like Puka lean into that type of mentorship. That’s the level of detail sneakerheads and hoops heads pay attention to because they know it matters for the culture.

Donovan Mitchell Pulls Up To St. John’s With Exclusive adidas DON Issue 7 PE

The St. John’s adidas D.O.N. Issue 7 PE has arrived, and it’s a major moment for Red Storm basketball.

Done in collaboration with Donovan Mitchell, adidas took time out to make a special in-person surprise and visit the St. John’s locker room to personally present the team with exclusive player editions. It’s the program’s first ever adidas signature PE, and the pairs won’t be available for retail sale, they are staying with the roster.

The special moment also comes with a little added significance, as Mitchell has known Head Coach Rick Pitino for a long time (from their Louisville days) and Pitino has been a part of Mitchell’s basketball development since early on.

We have to believe both the student-athletes and coaching staff are ready to hit the ground running with a new era in house as adidas moves to the forefront of the St. John’s program.

The PE is a big bold gradient that transitions from the team’s navy to its red color and fits their branding perfectly. It’s a clean look on court and the streamlined construction works for both speed and durability.

The St. John’s team will debut the signature D.O.N. Issue 7 PEs this Saturday at 12 PM ET, during their home game against the University of Alabama.

Delta x Nike Air Force 1 Employee Pair Starts Arriving

UDPATE 11/6/25: Pairs of the Delta x Nike Air Force 1 (the employees-only anniversary edition) are finally landing with buyers. New photos give a clearer look at the red Delta logo on the heel, blue-trimmed Swoosh, and the special centennial tongue tag. They even come in a Nike By You box with a “restricted from resale” card to keep them exclusive to Delta staff.

Original Story 7/30/25:
In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Delta Airlines has partnered with Nike for an exclusive Delta Airlines Nike Air Force 1 Low.

Made as a limited edition for Delta employees in celebration of Delta’s 100 years of service, this special Air Force 1 Low is a premium iteration from the brand. The upper is rendered in all-white leather, while a two-tone silver and blue Swoosh embellishes the upper. Delta’s iconic red triangle is also present on the heel, stitched on as the primary design detail.

“Delta 100 Years” is embroidered across the tongue in navy, while Nike Air branding is printed on the grey heel tab. The insole features grey textile lining as the interior lining.

Nike has done other internal collaborations such as with the USPS, the NBA and even the U.S. Department of Defense. But the partnership with Delta Airlines feels uniquely personal.

The Delta Airlines x Nike Air Force 1 Low will not be available for public release. It will be an employee-only drop for Delta in honor of the airline’s 100-year anniversary.

Nike Air More Uptempo OG “Black/White” Returns Fall 2026

The Nike Air More Uptempo OG “Black/White” is making its way back in Fall 2026, and this one should hit differently for longtime hoops fans. If you grew up watching Scottie Pippen glide through the ‘90s playoff run, you remember this pair — big, loud “AIR” lettering and all. That era didn’t whisper on-court, and neither did its footwear.

This upcoming 2026 pair carries the same SKU as the 2023 retro, which already aimed to get closer to the 1996 original. That means the familiar black nubuck, bold white trim wrapping the oversized “AIR” panels, and the black jeweled Swoosh on the heel return just as fans prefer. The full-length Air cushioning and chunky outsole still pack the nostalgic, slightly aggressive stance that made the shoe a street staple long after it left the hardwood.

Safe to say, this model still has that “don’t overthink it” appeal. It’s loud, timeless, and surprisingly wearable.

The Nike Air More Uptempo OG “Black/White” is scheduled for Fall 2026, priced at $170 USD, available via Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.

Nike Air More Uptempo “Cobalt Bliss” Returns Fall 2026

The Nike Air More Uptempo “Cobalt Bliss” is set for a comeback in Fall 2026, marking the return of one of the boldest ’90s basketball sneakers ever to hit the court. Last seen in 2023, this Air More Uptempo retro will arrive with the same SKU, suggesting Nike is bringing it back untouched — and that’s something longtime fans will appreciate.

This pair leans fully into that bulky Uptempo identity: black nubuck, oversized ‘AIR’ lettering, and the clean Cobalt Bliss outline adding a subtle pop of color. It still carries the Scottie Pippen-era energy — loud, unapologetic, and built for presence. I’ve always thought this model walks that perfect line between nostalgic statement piece and wearable street shoe, especially when the color blocking stays simple like this.

Underfoot, visible Air cushioning runs the length of the midsole for that classic, slightly springy ride. The elastic straps and speed lacing system keep it secure, whether you’re hooping or just stepping out.

The Nike Air More Uptempo “Cobalt Bliss” releases Fall 2026 through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com for $180 USD.

Victor Wembanyama Shows Off A “Cow Print” Nike GT Hustle 3

Victor Wembanyama debuts his Nike GT Hustle 3 “Cow Print” PE during last night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The shoe dons a daring white upper adorned with black patches, emulating traditional Texas ranch hide — a natural nod to Wemby’s new home in San Antonio. Bright green accents on the Swoosh and midsole add a lively contrast, almost evoking the image of fresh grass underfoot. The standout detail? His personal motto, “Be Unique Every Day,” printed across both tongues.

Wemby’s build is based on the GT Hustle 3 platform we’ve already seen in multiple versions this season, a sneaker notable for its lightweight feel and smooth cushioning, specifically designed for taller players that run like guards. While there have been other themed PE colorways released that Wemby has worn, this shoe feels like an extension of his personality, speaking with confidence.

A release date is yet to be announced, and it’s possible it will remain a player-exclusive. With buzz building, a 2026 retail drop wouldn’t be surprising either.
