Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” Now Available (October 2025)

UPDATE 10/16/25: The Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/22/25:
The Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” releases this Holiday 2025, fresh off Sabrina Ionescu becoming the cover athlete of NBA 2K24. Nike is bridging that feat with her heritage, bringing her impact on the court to life via a fashionable sneaker.

Sabrina Ionescu NBA 2K24 Cover

Featuring a vibrant green mesh upper for a light and airy fit, this variant of the Sabrina 3 is accented with a marbled, multi-color Swoosh down the sides. Purple highlights show on the tongue lining and heel tab as well, with her signature “S” logo stamped on the tongue to mark the shoe as a player-exclusive piece. Underfoot, black Zoom Air midsole tech offers responsive cushioning that ensures this shoe can perform on the court as well.

The color palette is drawn from Ionescu’s NBA 2K24 WNBA cover, which saw a radial gradient of green, purple, and blue tones. Nike has utilized the same colors to pay homage to her on-court success being spotlighted like never before. The overlap between basketball lore and gaming culture is rare to come by for sneakerheads.

From a storytelling perspective, the “Gamer” Sabrina 3 symbolizes resilience and creativity, echoing Ionescu’s role as a new face of the league. This is one of the freshest player-inspired drops we’ve seen from Nike Basketball in years.

Nike Sabrina 3 Gamer Release Date

Look for the Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” to release on October 16, 2025 in extended unisex sizing, priced at $145. Expect availability through Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike x Carhartt WIP Reignite Their Legacy With Exclusive Surplus Capsule

Nike and Carhartt WIP are reuniting for the first time in a long while, and they’re doing it in style. The two brands will drop an exclusive capsule collection for Surplus Sydney 2025, a three-day event curated by Nike that celebrates the intersection of fashion, music, art, and food.

The collection is dedicated to apparel instead of footwear, so Carhartt’s signature Active Jackets and Pocket Tees are given a heavy wash to truly encapsulate the heritage of both brands. The execution of combining Carhartt’s durable workwear aesthetic with Nike’s athletic heritage is effortlessly executed through their choice of heavyweight fabric, industrial detailing, and vintage dye work, making for a timeless collection.

The collection marks the first major apparel collab from the two since a 2018 capsule that featured the Nike Air Force 1, Air Max 95, and Nike Vandal, though fans of Nike and Carhartt will likely remember their footwear collaboration best for Eminem’s Air Jordan 4 “Carhartt” from 2015. The hyper-limited collaboration saw only 10 pairs of Eminem’s custom Jordans go on sale with the profits donated to his Marshall Mathers Foundation.

Rumors have long swirled of a potential Nike SB x Carhartt WIP collaboration (no such luck, unfortunately), but this drop is another reminder that there’s power in understatement. The worn texture and tonal branding feel authentic and edgy, precisely the types of garments that improve with age and use.

The Nike x Carhartt WIP capsule will be available on October 18, 2025 exclusively at Surplus Sydney and at Carhartt WIPNEWS’ custom booth.

Jayson Tatum x Jordan Tatum 4 “Welcome To” Pack Expands Globally

Jordan Brand and Jayson Tatum have launched the star’s fourth signature sneaker on a global stage. The Jordan Tatum “Welcome To” Pack, which features the Air Jordan 11 Low IE and the Jordan Tatum 4, ties basketball’s international pulse with four destination-inspired colorways — each reflecting a unique city and style.

Following the initial “Welcome to Tokyo” and “Welcome to St. Louis” releases, two more welcome cards from the pair have been revealed as “Welcome to London” and “Welcome to Shanghai”. Each design represents the distinct flavor of each city, with Tokyo staying true to Japan’s cutting-edge culture and St. Louis infusing hometown pride and subtle personal touches to represent Tatum’s roots. London is inspired by the look of the city’s transit system Underground, and the Shanghai-inspired colorway embodies the city’s vibrant nightlife with neon colors.

It’s those details sneakerheads will appreciate: how the Jordan Tatum 4 seamlessly weaves cultural storytelling with the sneaker’s game-ready details. Lightweight construction, sculpted outsole for traction and Zoom cushioning offer sneaker aficionados no trade-off between unique design and game-time performance.

Compounding the exclusivity of the release, each “Welcome to…” pair will be available in select regions: Tokyo23 will release its colorway on October 23, Foot Locker and Nike stores will drop the St. Louis on November 7, Bouncewear will release the London-inspired colorway on November 16, and the Shanghai pairs will be ultra-limited and distributed to key influencers.

In the “Welcome To” Pack, Tatum’s signature sneaker evolution continues — from hometown to international stage — offering a signature style and message that’s both personal and universal.

adidas Samba Decon Appears With A Zipper

One of adidas’s most iconic sneakers has been reimagined with the adidas Samba Decon, which is offered in a pair of Grey and Burgundy colorways this Fall 2025 season.

Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 Releases Fall 2026

Jordan Brand’s expanding roster of high-fashion collaborators is getting a new addition in Mowalola Ogunlesi. The Mowalola x Air Jordan 14 “Burnt Red” is set to release in Fall 2026, cementing itself as one of the most memorable designs in the designer’s growing list of artist collaborations.

Mock-ups first reveal the design’s Burnt Red suede upper complemented by black accents and metallic gold detailing. Performance meets luxury with Mowalola’s signature stitched in cursive across the lateral side, turning the Ferrari-insipired silhouette into an instant head-turner. The black midsole helps the shoe ground itself while the original Jumpman shield remains untouched, a nod to the original colorway’s motorsport origins.

That contrast between high-speed and high-fashion suits the Nigeria-born and London-based designer’s universe to a T. Mowalola’s unabashed approach to her design work has won her many admirers both on the runway and the street. Breaking boundaries is her bread and butter, so fans can expect the Air Jordan 14 to follow suit, subverting traditional sneaker aesthetics and infusing them with the technical DNA of basketball’s timeless silhouette.

Outside of the sneakers, Jordan Brand and Mowalola are set to drop a full apparel capsule that includes a leather jacket, trackwear, halter top, and knit tights. Expect each item to carry Mowalola’s signature rebellious silhouettes as well as her fearless colorways.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” Returns Summer 2026

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” is officially set to return Summer 2026, reworking a key iteration from 2013. Elevating the sporty silhouette with a bolder military look, the camouflage re-coloration of the Foamposite proved to be a fan favorite within Nike’s basketball archives.

Detailing for the reissue sees the signature molded Foam shell decked out in camo hues of forest green, beige, brown and black. The eyestays and collar are sheathed with black nubuck overlays, and Nike outfits the tonal mesh tongue and laces in the same tones. A shiny black Swoosh on the side is met with smaller Volt Swoosh logos that help create bold contrast at the toe and heel. There are other military text details including “N-758384” and “PRO97”, as well as neon chevron pull tabs. Nike outfits the shoe with a gum rubber outsole, resulting in a footwear collaboration that is steeped in hoops heritage and rugged streetwear charm.

While Foamposite was extremely popular in the late ’90s and early 2000s, the silhouette is not as hot today. Still, Nike has been dusting off and re-releasing select Air Foamposite models. While it’s a no-brainer to reach back for long-time collectors, it’s also a method of reengaging folks that may have missed the silhouette in the last 10+ years. The concept of keeping the Foamposite brand in the conversation, especially with an iconic or loud colorway like “Green Camo” is a massive factor in when one compares recent releases to the retros.

Its release comes alongside other signature Foamposite Pro drops for Summer 2026, including the “University Blue”, “Gym Red” and “Voltage” colorways.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro Green Camo 2026 Release Date

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” will release in Summer 2026 likely between April and June at select retailers and Nike.com. Price will be $240 USD.

END. x adidas Gazelle “Grass Roots” Celebrates British Football Culture

END. Clothing and adidas are hitting the terraces again with the Gazelle “Grass Roots”.

Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” Releases October 2025

UPDATE 10/15/25: Official photos for the Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low have been added below. The shoe is scheduled to release October 17, 2025 retailing for $255 USD. A raffle is currently live via infinitearchives.com.

Original Story 8/12/25:
The Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” has finally been revealed in its retail-ready form after months of speculation. A pair of early leaks from earlier this year have since been proven to be unreleased samples that were altered from the official release, while this release fits with the anime-inspired marketing that Infinite Archives has teased out thus far, and builds the shoe’s visual language to a larger, bolder story.

Infinite Archives’ take on the AJ17 Low was influenced by the original model as well as Mike Bibby player exclusives, with the most notable feature being its multi-color outsole. The sneaker also features smooth leather toe caps, tumbled leather on the side panels, and perforated black leather on the tongue and collar. Its most defining feature is its translucent TPU midfoot cage that exposes the blow-molded Air unit, as well as a color-shifting heel clip.

The “Beach” colorway combines cream and black tones for a look that is both classic and striking. Metallic “IA” and “23” badges, embroidered Jumpman logos, and “PEEL OFF” markings on the holographic heel strip continue the AJ17’s unique design language.
