Stranger Things x Crocs Classic Clog Tributes The Upside Down and Hellfire Club

The Stranger Things x Crocs Classic Clog collection is back, with two new collections that dive into the darker worlds of the hit show.

The first colorway is inspired by the darker scenes of the Upside Down with a slime-green Croslite™ upper. Paired with Jibbitz™ charms of the Demogorgon, a flashlight, and the iconic Stranger Things logo, the pair even swaps the logo on the heel strap with the monster itself.

Salehe Bembury Teases Upcoming New Balance Colorways in “I Make Shoes” Book

Salehe Bembury just released a new book, I Make Shoes, that delves into his storied career as a footwear designer. The New York–native has designed for the likes of Cole Haan, Yeezy, and New Balance, and the new tome, which is his first book, chronicles his journey from his beginnings to now. From Yeezy 500s to ON9s, Bembury displays his works in a photo-essay that reflects on how his understanding of texture and silhouette has developed over time.

Fans of the designer and avid sneaker collectors quickly identified Easter eggs hidden throughout the book, namely four exclusive New Balance sneakers, with two being New Balance 1000s and the other two New Balance 992s. Each of the kicks show off Salehe’s signature approach to storytelling through color. One of the 1000s shows off the “sibling” scheme with multicolor three-dimensional panels and floral cutouts. Another pairs terracotta suede with blue contrasts. The two previously unannounced 992s are more earthy and muted in tone with one version offering mossy greens and blues and another soft pinks with gradient detailing and sunset-inspired “N” logos.

This is precisely the level of detail that sneakerheads obsess over, with slight variations of hue that balance visual appeal with functionality and street wear. This is also the first time Bembury has gotten to work on the New Balance 992. This follows his “Made in USA” 990v2 which he released back in 2022.

No information has been revealed as to when these New Balances might release, but there’s a good chance that there’s more on the way, as the images tease the arrival of new projects on the horizon. Bembury’s world is always expanding and this new book cements that.

New Balance 1000 “Black/Blue” Returns With Retro Tech Style

The New Balance 1000 “Black/Blue” is a welcome comeback for one of the brand’s most underrated silhouettes. Debuted in the late ’90s, the trainer was an ode to Y2K performance aesthetics that we are now seeing re-emerge in lifestyle sneakers.

Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Better With Time” Sample Surfaces

This unreleased Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Better With Time” Sample from 2023 has resurfaced for sneakerheads to gaze at in awe. Posted by @davidsgrails on Instagram, this rare high-top would’ve preceded the 2025 Air Jordan 1 Low “Better With Time” but never saw the light of day as just a sample.

The high-top is constructed with a distressed black leather upper, off-white distressed Swooshes, and antiqued midsoles, which are perched on a maroon outsole. Small embroidered Swooshes are placed on both sides of the lateral toe boxes. On the collar, there is an inside embroidery referencing Sylvester’s cycling history which reads, “Jordan Biking Co. Est. 2017.” The bumps, creases, scuffs, and bleached panels further continue the narrative of Nigel’s “lived in” aesthetic.

In stark contrast to the 2018 “Sail” release, this pair swaps the colorway – exchanging white for black with a similar distressed look. Finding a sweet spot between the 2018 high and 2025 low, it begs the question if Jordan Brand erred by shelving this release.

For the time being at least, the sample will have to be just that – a historical artifact of sneaker culture – evidence that Nigel Sylvester’s collaboration with Jordan Brand is only growing in stature, just like his signature style of storytelling: “Better With Time.”

Nike World Headquarters Renamed Philip H. Knight Campus

Nike today announced that the company’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon will officially be known as the Philip H. Knight Campus. The new name honors Nike co-founder and Chairman Emeritus Phil Knight, and marks the first time in the campus’ 35-year history that its name has changed. The move is a testament to the lasting legacy of Knight’s belief in building an audacious brand and taking risks on innovative ideas that have built Nike into the global cultural institution it is today.

The rechristening of Nike’s flagship campus was announced by President and CEO Elliott Hill in an address to employees, on the one-year anniversary of his appointment to the role. In his letter to employees, Hill underscored that the campus renaming is more than just a change of name: it is a reflection of the same spirit of curiosity, questioning and determination that Knight and his original team of designers and collaborators brought to the company’s creation. “This is who we are,” Hill wrote in his letter. “This is the story of what happens when belief and action meet.”

The campus opened in 1990 and has since housed Nike’s R&D, design, brand and corporate teams. Occupying 400 acres in Beaverton, Oregon, the original campus is known for its moniker, “The Shoe Campus”, and includes building names that honor Nike-adjacent athletes that have been pivotal in Nike’s history and success, such as Michael Jordan, Steve Prefontaine, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Serena Williams, and LeBron James.

Over the next year, the Philip H. Knight Campus name will be updated on wayfinding, branding, and internal materials. A campus dedication ceremony will be held in Spring 2026.

Rick Owens x Dr. Martens Fall 2025 Collection Brings Bold Platform Boots To Life

Rick Owens has teamed up with Dr. Martens for Fall 2025 in a collection of three boots crafted in waxed black leather.

All three pairs rest on the audacious Quad platform sole, merging Owens’ gothic aesthetic with Dr. Martens’ punk attitude. Of note is the 1B60 Pentalace Boot which is knee-high and comes with a pentagram-inspired lace-up that encircles the whole upper.

The 1460 Megalace Boot reinterprets Dr. Martens’ flagship silhouette with elongated pearl laces that pass through metal eyelets. This lends an art-meets-industrial feel while retaining the original 1460’s tough spirit.

The third and final style is an updated take on Dr. Martens’ steel-toe that combines traditional workwear resilience with show-stopping wraparound laces. Each model also has side-zip entry, tall geometric tongues, and co-branded AirWair heel loops for added convenience and visual impact.

MENACE x adidas Superstar Honors LA Culture and Latino Heritage

adidas Originals has teamed up with Los Angeles streetwear brand MENACE to bring a fresh take on the Superstar.

Featuring textured suede uppers with embossed paisley designs, denim Three Stripes and high-end stitching, the new Superstar draws on Mena’s working-class background. The navy heel features embroidered “M” branding and is contrasted with the pink satin lining as a personal tribute to Mena’s mother and her favorite flower, the rose.

Pink itself is a reference to the mattresses Mena slept on as a child, and these personal details find their way into the narrative in subtle, emotional ways.

In addition to the shoe, the collaboration includes a short film directed by Mena himself, starring LAFC’s Denis Bouanga and LA Galaxy’s Riqui Puig.
