Jordan City Boot Brings Urban Apeal In “Black”

Jordan Brand updates its new weather-ready pair with the Jordan City Boot “Black” arriving Fall 2025. Inspired by the original, this all-black update trades the rugged workwear aesthetic for something more streamlined and urbane.

Crafted with a smooth nubuck and contrast tumbled leather, the Jordan City Boot “Black” is designed to be both tough and comfortable for all your winter adventures. Breathable mesh on the tongue and collar for extra ventilation while speckled reflective laces and hexagonal metal eyelets add functional details. Tone-on-tone Jumpman branding on the tongue and on the ankle keep the focus on the neutral color palette.

The Jordan City Boot “Black” releases Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Strolling the city or braving the elements, this re-coloring is the perfect balance of style and functionality.

Jordan Trunner O/S “Light Orewood Brown” Brings Back Early-2000s Style

Sporting an early-2000s heritage color palette with performance-minded updates, the Jordan Trunner O/S is back in a new “Light Orewood Brown/Phantom” colorway. It made its debut on Jalen Hurts during Philadelphia Eagles training camp. The chunky and running-inspired silhouette is a more daring option for Jordan Brand’s casual, everyday wear selection.

Made with a lightweight mesh upper, this sneaker also has premium suede overlays on the forefoot, sides, and heel. A molded midfoot cage that continues into the sole unit and functions as a stability shank is the shoe’s calling card. This provides the Trunner O/S with a robust structure, while also offering a strong lateral support point. For its part, the cream-toned midsole has sculpted elements. The textured outsole has been rendered in dark rubber and offers dependable traction.

Launched as a hybrid training shoe, the Trunner O/S was originally intended to straddle running and performance in the gym. For this iteration, the silhouette maintains some of its unique DNA, but does away with its more vibrant color blocking in favor of a more muted and street-ready aesthetic. Light Orewood Brown, Phantom, and Muslin tones comprise the Trunner O/S’s palette, making for a colorway that can work just as well for simple, everyday looks or low-impact workouts.

The Jordan Trunner O/S “Light Orewood Brown/Phantom” is set to drop in Fall 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. Retailing at $115 USD.

Dover Street Market x New Balance 991v2 by Verdy’s VK Design Works

Japanese artist and label owner Verdy has recently partnered with Dover Street Market London for a pop-up event that will go on until August 27th. Amongst the series of drops being unveiled in-store is this New Balance 991v2 collaboration, that comes under Verdy’s VK Design Works sub-label.

Teased first on his social media handle @vkdesignworks, the silhouette is inspired by British clubwear style. Suede and leather overlays in a deep brown shade are used to construct the upper, which is also equipped with plenty of off-white mesh material for ventilation. The lower consists of a sole in a white, grey and black colorway and is finished with the signature ABZORB SBS padding pods in blue. For branding, only the text “New Balance DSM” is stitched onto the tongue and a small logo for VK Design Works on the lace keeper.

The 991v2 itself is part of New Balance’s Made in England collection, a series known for high-end construction. It follows a number of other recent premium collaborations and exclusive releases from the company that have become highly sought after and is sure to be popular with collectors and casual wearers.

No official release date or pricing has been revealed, however, the sneaker is set to drop during the DSM London pop-up. The price is likely to be higher than the regular £220 GBP that the silhouette usually retails for due to Dover Street Market’s luxury reputation.

The Dover Street Market x New Balance 991v2 by VK Design Works will drop exclusively at DSM London in limited quantities.

Nike Dunk Low Keeps It Simple in “Black/White”

Nike’s latest Dunk Low taps into the classic sneaker’s minimalist history with a basic “Black/White” release, due Fall 2025.

This new colorway steps back from the pack in favor of a more simple approach: the Dunk is constructed with an all-black leather upper and is detailed with smooth overlays and tonal laces, tongue, and midsole.

The major contrast to the clean aesthetic is a blocky white leather Swoosh that cuts across the shoe’s sidewalls. To complete the monochromatic look, expect to see some white detailing on the tongue tag and insole branding.

Round out the look with a black outsole and perforated toe box that give these Dunks an understated and classic finish. In short, these are an updated take on a heritage style — no fuss, no flash, just clean lines and solid style.

The Nike Dunk Low “Black/White” will be available in Fall 2025 for $120 USD. It will launch at Nike.com and select retailers.

Perfect for old school Dunk heads or anyone looking for a no-fuss everyday sneaker, this release is right on point. Sometimes less is more.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Goes “Old Blue”

Nike is reimagining one of its most beloved silhouettes with the Air Force 1 Low “Old Blue.”

Constructed with a full leather upper, the shoe arrives in a cool, medium-blue colorway throughout most of the construction. Bright white Swooshes, heel panels, and midsoles offer crisp contrast, while the outsole matches the original Old Blue.

This two-tone color blocking plays into the classic nature of the shoe while still offering something novel. The muted color palette and pristine detailing should also find appeal with those who enjoy a low-key, heritage-inspired aesthetic. As has been the case with previous monochromatic colorways of the Air Force 1, this version also looks primed for rotation.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Old Blue” will release in Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $135 USD.

Nike Dunk Low “Sail/Fir” Brings Year-Round Appeal

Nike continues the Dunk Low rolling with the “Sail/Fir” colorway, arriving in Fall 2025.

The silhouette merges retro vibes with daily versatility. It dons a white leather upper, complemented by Sail-toned overlays for a crisp, vintage foundation.

Fir Green accents make an appearance on the laces, Swoosh, heel tab, liner, and outsole, adding depth without being overwhelming. A Sail midsole brings the look full circle, tying into Nike’s retro basketball heritage.

Retailing at $120, the Nike Dunk Low “Sail/Fir” will release in Fall 2025 at Nike.com and at selected retailers.

The two-tone aesthetic stays true to Dunk DNA, but elevated materials and seasonal color palette add a fresh, modern feel. This colorway will seamlessly fit into fall rotations, and has year-round potential.

The Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn Low Workboot “Black” adds street-ready attitude to a classic design.

Built on a platform sole and midsole with a grid-embossed pattern, this pair embraces a work-ready aesthetic.

Black tumbled leather makes up the upper, stitched with bronze highlights that stand out against the dark base. Rope laces match the color of the upper, while the Nike Air branding on the tongue is bronze, too.

At the heel, gold Wings logos and brass toe plates add a touch of luxury, while an aggressive lug outsole secures serious grip. Look closely at the outsole and you’ll spot a Jumpman logo stamped into the tread.

The Air Jordan 1 Brooklyn Low Workboot “Black” drops Fall 2025 at a price of $155 through Nike.com and select retailers.

While there have been many Superstar rereleases over the years, this is an ode to authenticity. The “MADE IN_” box and keychain tag it comes with are a nice touch that solidifies its originality and superb quality.

Nike Air Max 95 OG “Blue Tint” Releases August 2025

Nike is continuing to fuel the hype of the Air Max 95 Big Bubble with a new “Blue Tint” variation, due August 2025.

Having a similar design as the 2019 “Aluminum” release, this new take instead opts for a more pastel gradient design. Swathes of wavy suede overlays transition from light grey into a muted shade of blue, while details of white mesh paneling have been added for breathability. Bright white lace loops and matching eyestays help to keep the shoe defined, while a white embroidered mini Swoosh detail on the heel adds a touch of tradition.

As is signature of this silhouette, the centerpiece of the shoe is the Big Bubble Air unit. Harkening back to Nike’s original Visible Air technology, the updated unit was first showcased on the early iterations of the Air Max series, before coming back to the Air Max 95. A black midsole and outsole also make an appearance on the underside of the sneaker, while traces of white in the outsole’s tread pattern helps to balance the color scheme.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Blue Tint” will be released August 21, 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers. Price will be set at $190 USD.

James Harden Debuts The adidas Harden Vol. 10

adidas is gearing up for the Harden Vol. 10, even as the Harden Vol. 9 continues releasing through November 2025. James Harden debuted the next chapter of his signature line while touring China this summer, offering fans an early glimpse inside adidas’ design facilities.

The upcoming model keeps the mid-cut profile seen in recent Harden releases but introduces a bold molded shell exterior. Concentric elliptical patterns wrap the forefoot, giving the shoe a futuristic, aerodynamic look. A synthetic upper overlays an internal bootie construction, providing the fit and lockdown support that have become staples of the Harden line.

While adidas hasn’t confirmed the tech specs, the Harden Vol. 10 is expected to retain the Lightstrike Pro and BOOST cushioning combination that delivers responsive comfort for Harden’s style of play. Design duties may once again be led by Jalal Enayah, who has overseen the series since the Harden Vol. 5.

With the Harden Vol. 9 still in its launch cycle, the Harden Vol. 10 is likely targeting a late 2025 or early 2026 release window. Expect more detailed images and colorway previews as the season progresses.

Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” Releases Summer 2026

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” releases Summer 2026. The silhouette is another homage to a major NBA draft moment. The Charlotte Hornets originally drafted Kobe Bryant 13th overall in 1996 before immediately trading him to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The retro-inspired colorway takes cues from the Hornets’ color scheme of the time with Fierce Purple, Blue Lagoon, and Sail throughout. While the initial images shared are mock-ups, the actual release will be in a Protro form factor. The Nike Dunk Low will feature its traditional heritage design, but with a range of modern performance updates and improvements. Expect to see signature Kobe Bryant branding in addition to the traditional Swoosh.

The “Draft Day” theme is a special concept for Kobe Bryant sneaker collections. The trading of one of the league’s greatest talents for Hall of Fame careers is one of the more widely recognized deals of all time. As of late, Nike has expanded Kobe’s sneaker game to also include lifestyle silhouettes. However, this Dunk Low Protro will appeal to both basketball and sneakerheads alike.

Bad Bunny and adidas are expanding their Puerto Rico “City Series” with a fourth release, the Gazelle “Vega Baja”. This new edition joins the “Cabo Rojo,” “Santurce,” and “El Yunque” colorways, each honoring a different part of Puerto Rico’s culture and geography.
