Devin Booker Debuts Nike Book 1 “Impala” Inspired By His Classic Chevy

The Nike Book 1 Impala just hit the court, and it’s one of Booker’s cleanest personal colorways yet. The pair draws direct inspiration from his cherished 1996 Chevy Impala SS, a car he’s referenced often as part of his style and identity. That connection shows clearly here. The Book 1 feature a deep burgundy patent upper that mirrors the car’s sleek paint, paired with chrome accents echoing its polished trim.

The Chevy Impala emblem stamped near the Swoosh might be my favorite touch. It’s small, but that’s the detail sneakerheads will notice. The design sticks to Booker’s minimalist approach, with embossed “BOOK” branding and a streamlined, low-cut build meant to look good both in motion and up close.

Player-exclusive pairs don’t always translate into public releases, and this might stay special to Booker for now. Still, it fits perfectly into his growing on-court storytelling catalog. If this colorway ever drops, expect hype — quiet, tasteful hype.

Original Story:
The Nike Kobe 9 EM Low Protro “China” is reuniting with fans for the holidays. It was originally released back in 2014 and was a direct nod to Kobe Bryant’s long-standing bond with China. His on-court play, mentality, and international presence made him a cultural phenomenon over there. That’s part of what has made this pair so memorable for collectors.

This Protro edition sticks close to what made the original special. The red engineered mesh upper pops instantly, while Metallic Gold hits on the Swoosh and heel signature add a polished touch. The floral-style graphic on the tongue is still the standout detail—that’s the kind of artistry Kobe fans always look for. And yes, the heel still features the nine golden stitches that symbolize both recovery and resilience. That’s the detail sneakerheads will notice.

Performance-wise, the Protro build means updated cushioning underfoot, making these wearable both on-court and casually.

BAPE Shark Sta Winter 2025 Collection Goes Trail-Ready Under Kazuki Kuraishi

The BAPE Shark Sta Winter 2025 capsule blurs the line between streetwear and outdoors.

Kazuki Kuraishi has delivered a shoe with a trail-ready build, featuring ripstop mesh, suede overlays, and a snap latch lace system for a no-fuss tightening. With this in mind, the shoe has a utilitarian appeal, while not skimping on the BAPE edge.

The Shark motif stretches across the upper, but the overall design language here is more toned down compared to the previous, bolder Shark Sta sneakers. On the other hand, the beefy midsole and rugged rubber outsole make it suitable for daily life, whether on the streets or light trails.

Release Date & Where To Buy

Drop 1 will be released on November 8, 2025, and Drop 2 will release on November 22, 2025. Available via BAPE.com.

AVAVAV x adidas Holiday 2025 Reimagines The Superstar & Megaride

AVAVAV’s x adidas Holiday 2025 capsule revives two of the collab’s most memorable silhouettes: the Superstar Vacuum and the Moonrubber Megaride.

On the Superstar, a sculpted and softened leather upper evokes a sense of purposeful distortion, like a warped shadow of the OG silhouette, a style exaggerated by the cracked, worn-in shell toe, which also caters to that destroyed aesthetic. There are two greaser-approved black makeups, while the addition of a brown colorway adds patina and a touch of dressiness without diverging from the Superstar’s street roots.

As for the Megaride, that experimental tooling takes things to new extremes. The swollen, bulbous sole unit looks like a Dali painting in contrast with the mesh upper. A triple-black iteration is quietly aggressive, while the grey and olive combination is more jovial and artistic. It’s also a conversation starter without a doubt.

Jordan Tatum 4 Keeps It Simple In “Smoke Grey/Anthracite”

The Jordan Tatum 4 “Smoke Grey” feels fresh and balanced between performance and everyday casual style.

A hairy suede upper helps the shoe feel high quality, textured, and ready for any lifestyle moments. Smoke grey dominates the upper, while black wavy overlays provide contrast and fluidity. The heel features a breathable mesh panel that will make wearing the shoe for hours comfortable. Tatum’s signature JT logo sits on the tongue, and metallic silver Jumpman marks the side panel.

On the court, the sneaker puts an emphasis on control and cushioning. The midsole’s base is Cushlon foam, which offers a comfortable ride that is also stable. Zoom Air adds extra responsiveness for sharper cuts and jumps. Players with a faster style will feel this the most. The same comfort carries over in casual wear, which gives the shoe real versatility.

atmos Adds Gore-Tex To The adidas Superstar

atmos’ x adidas Superstar GORE-TEX is a new look at the classic black-and-white Superstar with some weather-ready additions.

It’s a familiar design at first blush: white leather upper, black Three Stripes, and distressed shell toe to finish off the well-loved look. But the GORE-TEX lining to keep feet dry is an atmos touch, as is the luxe gold branding details.

And then the lights go out. The black stripes on the sides and the heel tab feature a snakeskin pattern that glows in the dark, an ode to atmos’ long-standing “G-SNK” series. That’s a quintessential atmos detail: streetwear cool mixed with technical gear. Inside, there’s also a small “Designed in Tokyo” tag.

They’ll drop in November 2025, most likely via atmos as an international release.

Kevin Durant Debuts Nike KD 18 “PSG” PE

The Nike KD 18 PSG just made a surprise appearance on the hardwood. This moment comes right after Kevin Durant officially became a minority stakeholder in Paris Saint-Germain earlier this year, marking a rare crossover where business, style, and sport all hit the same spotlight.

Durant laced up the pair during warmups before Houston’s matchup with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs — a fitting stage considering the international draw of both stars. The shoe nods to PSG’s identity with a deep navy base with sharp red accents that trace the lace caging and Swoosh outline. The PSG crest is affixed to the tongue while KD’s number 7 hangs behind the Swoosh on the ankle. One detail die-hard Nike heads will clock instantly: a subtle Total90 nod near the forefoot, tying back to Nike’s early-2000s soccer aesthetic.

The overall look feels premium without forcing the theme — almost like a quiet flex. And with Durant’s global interests expanding, it doesn’t feel like a one-off moment.

As of now, the Nike KD 18 “PSG” remains a Player Exclusive with no release details.

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.
