Back to the Future x Crocs Classic Clog Channels The Iconic Lightning Strike Scene

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Channeling one of the greatest scenes in film, The Back to the Future x Crocs Classic Clog features the 88mph lightning strike made famous in the 1985 cult classic.

Its upper is alive with lightning imagery, as well as callouts from the movie including the “OUTATIME” license plate, hoverboard and the iconic flux capacitor.

Features from the film are also cleverly hidden throughout, including a range of Jibbitz charms referencing Marty’s jacket, Biff and his Sports Almanac, the clock tower and even a 1955 newspaper headline. A metallic strap mimics the iconic DeLorean’s detailing, and features a mini flux capacitor at the back, while flaming sidewalls pay homage to the trail left behind when time travel occurs in the film.

The Back to the Future x Crocs Classic Clog will be available on October 21, 2025 for $80 USD on Crocs.com and at select retailers.

FIRST LOOK: Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Lower Merion Aces” (Home)

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is keeping Kobe Bryant’s legendary high school legacy alive by dropping the Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low “Lower Merion Aces” (Home) in Spring 2026. This will be the second Kobe release in celebration of Kobe’s high school days following the release of the Kobe 5 “Lower Merion Aces”.

Before Kobe skipped college to enter the NBA Draft in 1996, he lit up the courts at Lower Merion High School as a member of the Aces in their signature white and burgundy uniforms. The same color palette is back here in a storytelling-driven Air Force 1 that serves as a tribute to the beginnings of the Black Mamba.

Made with white snakeskin-textured leather uppers to represent Kobe’s “Mamba” mentality, deep burgundy accents hit on the lining and outsole. Personal touches are littered across the shoe, including the number 33 (Kobe’s high-school jersey number) embroidered on the heel, and the spade logo on the insole and outsole (his team’s playing card emblem). Kobe’s sheath logo is also present near the heel and tongue to connect the story to his later Nike career.

The “Home” edition of the AF1 is clean and classic, but Nike will also be dropping an “Away” version in bright maroon. The two together tell the complete story of Kobe’s journey from Philly gym floors to global superstardom. This is the kind of symbolism that makes this project more than just another AF1.

Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Lower Merion Aces Release Date

Expect the Nike Kobe Air Force 1 Low “Lower Merion Aces” (Home) to release in March 2026 via select retailers and Nike.com for $120 USD.

KAWS has revisited Sesame Street for another nostalgic crossover, reinterpreting the best-loved characters through his pop-art style.

Set to launch in the days leading up to Water Parade by AllRightsReserved , a public art-meets-pop-up event in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour showcasing large-scale inflatables of KAWS’s work alongside creations by Doraemon, Grimace, and others (October 25–November 1), the Big Bird figure will be available as a special edition that is only available to event ticket holders, or as a two-pack with Elmo to purchase online.

UCLA Football Receives Exclusive Air Jordan PE Cleats For 2025 Season

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UCLA has been officially added to the Jordan Brand’s 2025 player edition (PE) sneaker family, alongside schools like UNC, Florida, and Oklahoma, being given exclusive Air Jordan cleats to kick off the season.

The new UCLA cleats for the upcoming 2025 season are a two-piece pack, which include the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 1 Low. Each sneaker is styled in colorways of the program’s official colors, while incorporating a more clean and subtle style, for a sneaker fit for game day.

The Air Jordan 4 Cleat features a black nubuck upper, with light blue accents on the netting, wings, and heel branding, with UCLA’s cursive logo embroidered onto the left tongue. White laces and a pop of brighter blue on the cleat plate, is the final touch to the sneaker.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Cleat takes a different route, with the basketball silhouette on a black and grey elephant print base, with baby blue accents on the Swoosh, Wings logo, and outsole. These sneakers feature various textures, including synthetic satin, matte overlays, to achieve the sharp, yet subtle take on the AJ1, staying true to the classic lifestyle roots of the sneaker.

The PE’s for UCLA lack the well-known gold color most commonly associated with the program, however, this “UNC-style” of colorways allows for a sleek, yet modern look. A look that is both retro and contemporary, for the brand’s ongoing PE series which often collides collegiate spirit with Jordan performance heritage.

In the months ahead, we can look forward to additional releases from the Jordan Brand’s PE family from other Jordan-sponsored football programs, all while continuing to elevate the Jumpman’s already rich relationship with college athletics.

Grand Collection x New Balance Numeric 770 Blends Skate Precision With Minimalist Style

By
Mario Briguglio
-

New Balance Numeric is turning to collaborations in order to advance skate footwear with their well thought out and purpose-driven releases. After the successful 993 with Andrew Reynolds, the brand continues to rework the 770—a cross-training staple with a newly built pedigree on the board—with New York’s Grand Collection. The label steps in to deliver an elevated, minimal effort that does the best thing possible for the shoe.

On display with Grand’s August runway show was an interpretation of the 770 that encapsulates the label’s “beauty in simplicity” approach. The signature multi-panel overlays are omitted, allowing a more streamlined, all-leather construction in tonal Black and White options to take the spotlight. Both styles are marked with Grand detailing on the heel and tongue, and a subtle embossed “N” logo is printed along the side, in lieu of a large visual punch.

The collection captures Grand’s archival styling along with New Balance’s engineering legacy, all with a level of detail that matches each brand’s standard for quality. It’s also not without some degree of restraint, a characteristic that is highly welcomed by skaters looking for anti-hype releases.

The Grand Collection x New Balance Numeric 770 will be available October 15th, 2025, on grandcollectionco.com. A global drop will follow soon after on NewBalance.com.

Nike Dunk Low SE “Wolf Grey” Now Available (October 2025)

By

UPDATE 10/14/25: The “Wolf Grey” Dunk Low SE is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/15/25:
Nike is keeping things understated this Fall with the upcoming Dunk Low SE “Wolf Grey”. Built for fans of clean colorways, this version ditches bold palettes in favor of a soft, tonal look.

The upper is fully dressed in a Wolf Grey suede that creates the subtle contrast throughout the shoe. Instead of the typical flat laces, Nike switches things up with rope-style laces.

Another notable change is the sole. Rather than the usual gum rubber finish, Nike goes all-in on the greyscale theme with matching grey outsoles. Branding stays minimal too, with stitched Swooshes and a soft “NIKE” logo at the heel in the same tone.

The Nike Dunk Low SE “Wolf Grey” drops on October 14, 2025 for $120 USD. Men’s sizes will be available through Nike.com and select sneaker retailers.

While we’ve seen plenty of Dunk Low variations over the years, this one keeps things fresh without going over the top. It’s clean, versatile, and built for everyday wear—exactly what many Dunk fans have been asking for.

Invincible x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1 “404 RGB” Marks A Decade of Collaboration

By
Mario Briguglio
-

ASICS Taiwan licensee Invincible commemorates 10 years of collaboration with the new GEL-Nimbus 10.1 “404 RGB”, dropping on October 18th. With a playful twist, the release revisits two pivotal eras from Invincible’s past and kicks off a new chapter in storytelling, one that embraces imperfection and evolution.

Invincible ASICS Gel-Lyte III 2015
Invincible x ASICS GEL-Lyte III (2015)

The silhouette takes cues from Invincible’s 2015 GEL-Lyte III “Formosa” that referenced Taiwan’s native Crested Goshawk bird as well as the island’s unofficial epithet, “Beautiful Island.” From there, the design mashes up that influence with the technology-forward nostalgia of their earlier “HTTP 404” series, switching “Green” with “Grey” as an allusion to artisanry and patina. Textures vary between a raw suede, mesh, and leather juxtaposition in an intentionally patchwork construction that is as much about progress as it is about not being perfect.

Echoing those ideals, Taiwan’s national holiday, Double Tenth Day, is subtly referenced with red and blue heel details, grounding the narrative. Additional graphic touches in reflective piping and windowpane elements further modernize the retro-inspired aesthetic. For a label that grew out of the online universe, it’s a look that’s one with its time and yet knows not to take itself too seriously.

The Invincible x ASICS GEL-Nimbus 10.1 “404 RGB” will be available across Asia on October 18th at Invincible stores, then goes global on October 19th through ASICS.com.

UPDATE 10/14/25: The Air Jordan 1 Low Element “Medium Olive” are now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/19/25:
The Air Jordan 1 Low Element Gore-Tex “Medium Olive” takes the MJ1 from retro staple to outdoorsy trail sneaker.

Protected by Gore-Tex, this version is for year-round wear. Sneakerheads will spot references from nubuck overlays, ripstop panels, and perforations, as a thank you to Jordan Brand’s history with trail-ready styles.

Colors are dominated by Medium Olive and Khaki, with Sequoia green tongues and electric orange pull tabs for pop. Below lies a spotted midsole and lugged outsoles for superior traction, more similar to ACG offerings than recent Jordan 1 iterations.

Eye-catching details include reflective 3M laces, embossed Wings logos, and graphic Gore-Tex branding. It’s not the first Jordan to dabble in the outdoors, but this one feels more balanced between function and streetwear.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Element Gore-Tex “Medium Olive” will be available October 14, 2025 retailing for $205 USD. They will drop on Nike.com and at select retailers.

Virgil Abloh: The Codes Exhibit in Paris Draws 60,000 Visitors in 10 Days

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 10/14/25: Virgil Abloh Archives and Nike brought Virgil Abloh: The Codes to Paris — the first European version of the hit exhibition. Presented at The Grand Palais from September 30 through October 9, the display welcomed almost 60,000 guests over 10 days, with about 6,000 people per day, honoring Abloh’s enduring impact on design and culture.

Original Story 9/8/25:
Nike Virgil Abloh Archive is making a homecoming in Paris this fall for “The Codes,” which opens September 30.

Few designers have left the impression on fashion and sneakers quite like Virgil Abloh. Since his passing in 2021, there’s a certain sense of incompletion when it comes to the projects left behind. But his signature style remains influential. To highlight Abloh’s work, Nike and the Virgil Abloh Archive have curated a major exhibition in Paris, allowing the late designer’s creativity to be showcased through never-before-seen pieces and rare samples.

“The Codes” will run from September 30 to October 10. The highlight of the show is the exhibition of Abloh’s signature Nike work, but the Nike Virgil Abloh Archive has prepared a range of experiential pieces including workshops, live performances, and screenings for visitors. The goal is to not only celebrate Abloh’s work but to use the cultural context to make it relevant to new audiences. His ability to bridge creativity with access is what made Abloh a cultural influencer in the first place.

Ahead of the show, GQ got a preview of what to expect. Some of the highlights include Air Force 1 prototypes that were never before seen in public. On display will be Louis Vuitton AF1s with embossed monograms, butter slides with Y2K finishes, and over-scale Swooshes in metallic. Abloh’s playful take on sneakers extends to some of the early ISPA-inspired mids and MCA/overlace pairs. Here, the influence is even more exaggerated, giving an idea of the path those iterations could have gone down. Most exciting for sneakerheads are the pair of Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Canary” colorways. The sneakers were rumoured for some time, but never actually made a debut. Seeing them here will be a huge topic of discussion, at least among sneakerheads. Those details will be what people remember.

The Nike Virgil Abloh Archive “The Codes” opens on September 30 in Paris and runs through October 10.

Introducing the New Balance Allerdale “Cinnamon Stick,” a luxe tip of the cap to British activewear refined with premium detailing and heritage design cues. Cinnamon suede uppers bring autumn vigor to the silhouettes that a hearty gum outsole only cements as a classic.

Minimal “Black Coffee” accents keep the laces, lace loops, and “N” logo grounded while a tan leather liner and green insoles give the model just a dash of elevated swagger. This is another in a growing line of elegant colorways from New Balance’s catalog that taps into earthy roots and takes it that notch past joggers and into a sportier, laid back lifestyle category.

Luxury materials meet minimal appeal as this pair sits comfortably in the modern “fit-for-life” silhouette family.

The New Balance Allerdale “Cinnamon Stick” releases on October 16th at NewBalance.com and select retailers for $270 USD.

New Balance 204L “Pearl Grey” Releases October 17th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Continuing their archival revival series, New Balance has the 204L “Pearl Grey,” a minimalist iteration of New Balance’s early-2000s running style.

Done in plush suede with a palette of light grey and off-white hues, the sneaker is as low key as it gets. An off-white and grey dual tone outsole provides a hint of contrast to a shoe that is otherwise all about serene neutrality.

Revisiting hallmark sculpted side panels and a debossed “N” logo, this 204L is as much of a callback to the brand’s Y2K running archives as the quietly cool dad sneaker connoisseur could ask for. Textural and structural elements balance to give this silhouette a sense of always-versatile understatement that never feels overstated.

The New Balance 204L “Pearl Grey” will be available October 17th on NewBalance.com and at select retailers for $120 USD.

Awake NY x Jordan Brand Apparel Collection Launches Fall 2026

By
Mario Briguglio

Awake NY and Jordan Brand are linking up once again, this time with a fresh Apparel Collection scheduled for Fall 2026. After building buzz with their previous collaborations, the two labels continue to merge New York streetwear energy with Jordan’s sport heritage for a lineup that’s equal parts premium and understated.

According to Sneaker Files, the upcoming apparel includes two polo shirts, a t-shirt, a track jacket, and matching track pants. Crafted in premium fabrics and featuring discrete co-branding accents, each item embodies the union of street luxury and sporty practicality. We haven’t seen any official images yet, but early reports indicate that Awake’s signature audacious and sophisticated touch will be apparent throughout the capsule.

The partnership draws on Awake NY’s legacy of balancing cultural narratives with practicality—elements that made previous Awake x Jordan drops popular. The consistency in that approach has contributed to meshing trendy style with basketball nostalgia, a synergy the brands further investigate together.

No sneaker has been confirmed to be dropping along with this collection, but the speculation persists. Keep an eye out for additional details and official product images in the months leading up to Fall 2026.

As it stands, the Awake NY x Jordan Brand Apparel Collection is shaping up to be another highly-anticipated installment in the brands’ collaborative history — one that marries their shared heritage, craftsmanship and timeless streetwear style in quintessential Awake NY fashion.
