By
Mario Briguglio

Nike continues LeBron James’ legacy of storytelling with the upcoming Nike LeBron 23 “Best In Class”. Following the “Grand Opening” release, this pair celebrates LeBron’s 2003 NBA Draft night—when he was selected first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The colorway speaks volumes. Dressed entirely in University Red, the sneaker features intricate reflective graphics inspired by LeBron’s career milestones. The hand-drawn crown design is a tribute to his “King James” nickname, while the bitten apple logo on the heel is a reference to New York, also known as the “Big Apple,” where James was drafted and changed the course of his career. Gold accents on the Swoosh and LeBron’s signature on the tongue add a luxurious touch befitting of a king.

The sneaker is packed with meaningful details. The overall “Best In Class” theme is a tribute to LeBron being the number one pick in the league after his high school dominance, merging his hardwood legacy with a scholarly twist. Custom packaging, red and blue laces, and a booklet included with the release also offer a storytelling experience for sneakerheads.

Pairing the reflective upper with a royal finish, this shoe effortlessly combines nostalgia with modern craftsmanship, serving as a tribute to LeBron’s continuous pursuit of greatness.

Up There Debuts ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Natsukashii Pt 2”

By

Up There and ASICS have reintroduced their “Natsukashii” series with the second installment of the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 in “Glacier Grey.”

The silhouette refines the sporty-but-not-too-sporty aspect of the silhouette’s proportions while retaining the glossy patent overlays and rich red accents set against its crisp white base, reminiscent of Prada’s elegant America’s Cup sneaker.

Mesh accents are inspired by the GEL-KAYANO 20 and give a subtle nod to the running culture that helped build Australia’s sneaker identity. The green Up There logo shines on the guidance line, while pops of Signal Red underfoot give an extra pop of contrast.

Each pair will include a set of two different laces and a premium co-branded box.

Early access is available now to first colorway owners on UpThere.com, and will drop in store on October 24th and online on October 27th at 8AM AEDT.

UPDATE 10/24/25: Official photos of the “Aurora” Book 1 have been added below. Expect a release on November 7th, 2025.

Original Story 10/14/25:
The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” is a showstopper thanks to a Court Purple upper and iridescent Swoosh.

A nod to the northern lights, the color-shifting logo blinks in hues of pink, gold and blue–adding an otherworldly sheen to Devin Booker’s first signature shoe.

The Book 1 is a signature line that Nike is expanding with further storytelling. This shoe is a prime example with breathable mesh and durable leather overlays. A blend of both materials, they provide a winning combination of style and performance. The FlyEase-adjustable bootie silhouette and bold color scheme is offset by the cool tones of a Sail midsole and outsole.

Moving to the interior, supportive performance tech ensures it’s a sneaker that’s always game-ready. Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole and TPU sidewalls ensure plush comfort and on-cushion support.

The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” releases November 7, 2025, and will cost $145 USD at Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retail partners.

By
Mario Briguglio

UPDATE 10/24/25: The “Realtree” Air Force 1 is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/30/25:
Nike continues its outdoors-inspired streak with the Air Force 1 Low “Realtree,” updated for Fall 2025. The brand revisits its camo-driven theme, expanding the lineup to three pairs, now including this edition anchored by a gum yellow sole.

Whereas the darker Realtree version is a lot more subdued, this pair leans heavily into the woodsy theme. Opting for full camo textile uppers instead of the traditional leather, the combination of muddy browns and greens creates an edgier feel to the shoe. The gum midsole tones further emphasize the autumn-ready vibe. The rope-style laces with splashes of burgundy help to break things up without going too far.

The AF1 has always been a testing ground for new ideas, so this Realtree edition feels almost organic. That balance of streetwear and function is what keeps the silhouette evolving, well over four decades later. Fans who missed previous Realtree releases will likely be marking their calendars for this one.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Realtree” releases October 24, 2025, through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $125 USD.

Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” Releases November 6th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 10/24/25: Official photos of the “Loyal Blue” Air Max 95 Zip have been added below. A release is set for November 6th via SNKRS.

Original Story 10/7/25:
The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is bringing back a cult-favorite twist from the early 2000s. Originally released in 2001 as a women’s exclusive, this early Air Max 95 iteration was a forward-thinking experiment that introduced a zip-up futuristic shroud marrying performance style and sleek fashion-forward sensibilities. It’s now coming back as part of Nike’s 2025 Air Max lineup.

The reissue features the full Loyal Blue suede overlays, which are wrapped in a form-fitting synthetic shroud that zips over the laces at the top. Details of Bright Crimson pop up at the mini Swoosh and visible Air units, while the deep chocolate-hued Max Air unit forms a clean contrast. The reissue also preserves the split Air Max logo on the tongue, a distinguishing detail from the original silhouette.

In comparison to the early-2000s model which utilized copious amounts of leather, this retro primarily employs premium suede and neoprene for a more contemporary approach. It’s a welcome change — the texture adds lifestyle cred, while still retaining the shoe’s futuristic swagger. The visible Air cushioning and chunky build echo elements that make Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 DNA a design mainstay after almost three decades.

The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is set to release November 6, 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is expected to be $210 USD.

Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “White” Now Available (October 2025)

By
Mason Tiniuc

UPDATE 10/24/25: The Vibram Air Force 1 GTX in “White” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 10/24/25:
The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex finds new terrain for the AF1’s classic silhouette.

The Summit White leather, tonal lacing and eggshell accents nod to the low’s legacy before amping up the toughness.

Nike has taken the AF1 further than just a lifestyle sneaker before, but the Vibram sole is a new level of grip. It’s a subtlety that sneakerheads will appreciate first, in the form of a yellow Vibram badge that speckles the midsole and outsole. This build has a more utilitarian and street-ready feel, compared to your standard AF1.

Finishing details include a pair of lace options, as well as metal dubraes etched with “AF1” and “Gore-Tex” for all-weather footwear. The outsole also gets a pattern facelift, providing function while maintaining the original’s signature minimal aesthetic.

The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “Summit White” will spearhead a three-pair pack, and will officially drop on October 24, 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers.

UPDATE 10/24/25: The Vibram Air Force 1 GTX in “Black” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 10/7/25:
The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “Black” will be one of the following “White” and “Clay Green” colorways to drop soon. This iteration on Bruce Kilgore’s icon reinterprets the street staple in utilitarian fashion.

In place of a full-grain leather upper, the shoe uses a combination of tumbled leather and a more rugged fabric, which is then sealed with Gore-Tex waterproof treatment. It has the same premium feel, with the added bonus of weatherproofing, which makes it possible to wear the shoe all year round. That’s the small change sneakerheads will spot when they compare it to standard AF1 iterations.

Akin to the interior, Vibram’s signature rubber sole makes its first appearance on the silhouette’s outsole. Celebrated for its rugged traction and outdoor lineage, the yellow Vibram logo is featured beneath the quintessential “Air” branding, merging performance innovation with Nike’s iconic design language. The result is a smart decision that strikes a sophisticated balance between luxury craftsmanship and functional upgrades.

The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “Black” will be available at select retailers and Nike.com on October 24, 2025. Price is set at $150 USD.

Nike Air Max Plus “Doernbecher” by Sergio Cano Marquez Brings Imagination To Life

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike’s Doernbecher Freestyle program is back, once again honoring bravery and imagination in collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

This time around, the remixer is Sergio Cano Marquez, who was born with mucopolysaccharidosis type IV A, and he’s bringing a world of imagination to the Air Max Plus.

A dark, video-game-infused design on one shoe tells the story of Sergio’s passion for drawing on the right, while the other is splashed with all sorts of vivid cartoon monsters chomping on pizza in front of a bright New York City skyline. The split design and overall execution gives the silhouette a cartoonish and storybook vibe that’s unique within the Air Max family.

Heartfelt personal touches, including his name on the heel of one shoe and “MPS” on the opposite, make this one more than a style statement.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Doernbecher” will be available January 17, 2026 for $180 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Max 95000 Pushes 3D Printing Into The Future

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is once again redefining innovation with the Air Max 95000, a futuristic leap for 3D-printed sneakers. Building on the success of the Air Max 1000, this next chapter continues the brand’s collaboration with Zellerfeld, merging digital manufacturing with Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 DNA.

The outlined aesthetics of the silhouette’s muscular lines take inspiration from the original 1995 model and have been reimagined as a fully 3D-printed lattice construction. Bold Black and Volt colorway calls back to the seminal “Volt” Air Max 95. The one-of-a-kind look combined performance tech with nostalgic design elements of the original. The upper and midsole were seamlessly printed from the same TPU material, with no glue or stitching required.

All eyes are on the Project Nectar outsole. Project Nectar is a flexible and durable outsole created to optimize performance in one piece. The outsole alone takes ten minutes to print, while the entire sneaker requires roughly two full days to complete, underscoring the complexity behind its design.

The Nike Air Max 95000 launches in limited quantities during ComplexCon’s Mad Stadium activation, with a wider Zellerfeld release on Black Friday, November 28th, priced at $250 USD.

That combination of legacy and forward thinking proves Nike’s 3D-printed future isn’t just hype—it’s the next Air Max revolution.

Katt Williams Takes Shots at SGA in New adidas AE 2 Ad

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Katt Williams just stole the spotlight in adidas’ newest AE 2 ad, taking a not-so-subtle jab at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his Converse deal. “He’s lucky his game is as smooth as his little poems, because them shoes? No thank you. The game left that brand behind for a reason,” Williams jokes — and sneaker fans instantly caught the reference.

The ad centers on a “mystery two-guard rival,” but everyone knows who that’s aimed at. Shai’s been one of the league’s biggest breakout stars, pairing MVP-level performances with his own Converse SHAI 001 sneaker. Williams’ delivery turns the playful rivalry into classic marketing gold, feeding adidas’ “Believe That” campaign with just the right amount of attitude.

Following Ice-T’s cameo in an earlier AE 2 spot, this latest feature pushes adidas’ basketball storytelling to another level. It blends humor, confidence, and just enough controversy to get people talking — exactly what sneaker culture thrives on.

The adidas AE 2 “Blue Fusion” drops October 25th, with the “Christmas” colorway arriving in December 2025. Tap in to see why Anthony Edwards and adidas are owning both the court and the conversation.

Raekwon and Ghostface Killah For Ronnie Fieg’s adidas x Clarks Wallabee Collection

By
Mario Briguglio
-

To celebrate Clarks Originals’ 200th Anniversary, Ronnie Fieg reunites with adidas Originals for a creative crossover that redefines craftsmanship. The 8th St Wallabee Collection combines Clarks’ timeless moccasin design with adidas’ most advanced soles, bridging the gap between heritage and performance.

The creative forces behind the campaign are hip-hop legends Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, Fieg’s long-time collaborators, who represent an archetype of culture and craftsmanship. Their casting is also a homage to Fieg’s history in New York style, a “mixture of classic silhouette and forward-thinking ideas.” Past projects with adidas saw the revival of models like the Samba and Gazelle—but this time, Fieg flips the formula, putting Clarks’ iconic Wallabee upper atop adidas’ Ultraboost and 4D platforms.

Each pair tells a story of precision. The Ultraboost edition features Stretchweb traction with Continental™ Rubber for everyday comfort, while the 4D model uses adidas’ futuristic 3D-printed midsole for responsive cushioning. The lineup spans six options—two Wallabee Mid and four Wallabee Low—crafted in earthy hues like Maple, Dark Grey, Scarab, and Black. Premium suede uppers, tonal stitching, and tri-branded hangtags tie everything together under the 8th St banner.

Fans can enter the drawing for the 8th St Wallabee by Ronnie Fieg for adidas Originals & Clarks Originals from October 24–26, with a limited launch set for October 27 at 11 AM EST/CET through Kith shops, Kith.com, and the Kith App as part of the Monday Program™.

It’s a project that honors two centuries of Clarks’ craftsmanship while pushing sneaker design into the future—a true meeting of legacy and innovation.

Bad Bunny x adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Collection Races Into November 2025

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Bad Bunny is taking his partnership with adidas Originals to new speeds through a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 collaboration dropping this November.

Earlier this summer, Bad Bunny and Mercedes-AMG teamed up to bring Formula 1 racing to Puerto Rico for the first time ever. Over 12,000 people in attendance on the Condado and Old San Juan connecting bridge took in the sights and sounds of driver Esteban Gutiérrez tearing up the asphalt, a true transcultural crossover event. During the same week, the singer was also named an honorary member of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team at his residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí.

Adidas then threw a pop-up exhibition at Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico which gave attendees a first look at the forthcoming Adiracer GT sneaker as well as a preview of some of the select clothing items included in the collection. The full collection combines the technical rigor of race engineering with the vibe of streetwear.

Now, the full collection has been released — a series of 2000s-inspired racing silhouettes, technical stitching, and high-speed tailoring. Leading the pack is the Adiracer GT, a racing-inspired sneaker detailed in black, cream and metallic. Graphic yellow gloves and “94” branding complete the look, a reference to Bad Bunny’s birth year and his racing alter ego.

The result is a bold fusion of motorsport precision and reggaeton flair — exactly the kind of creative collision that defines Bad Bunny’s fashion legacy.

The Bad Bunny x adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Collection releases November 16, 2025, via adidas.com and select retailers.
