Air Jordan 1 Low Element Gore-Tex Opts For A “Glacier Blue” Colorway

UPDATE 10/20/25: The Air Jordan 1 Element Low A/T “Glacier Blue” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/19/25:
The Air Jordan 1 Low Element Gore-Tex “Glacier Blue” reimagines a legend as a winter essential.

Glacier Blue, Pale Blue, Light Armory Blue, and Silver lace up in this frozen take that mixes lifestyle flair with performance grit.

Launched initially as a high-top, the Element collection immediately scored for its GORE-TEX lining. The new low-top offers that same performance with more trail-inspired flair. The rugged ripstop upper and slick overlays layer for durability while the reflective Swoosh and neon tongue prints make for a striking contrast.

Even the outsole turns heads. Packed with aggressive lugs, it’s got a hiking boot rather than hoops classic feel. Nike is taking the Air Jordan 1 narrative deeper into the outdoors while staying true to familiar elements like the Wings logo embossed at the heel.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Element Gore-Tex “Glacier Blue” launches October 20, 2025 for $205 USD at Nike.com and select retailers.

Original Story 7/25/25:
Jordan Brand is taking it to the streets and beyond again with the latest Jordan Trunner O/S. The new lifestyle and cross-training silhouette further expands Jordan Brand’s off-court offerings—and the upcoming “Cave Stone” colorway paves the way for Fall 2025.

Donning the shoe of a new, modern take on the Jordan Trunner, the O/S model is constructed with layered suede, breathable mesh, and an over-sized rubber sole that pays homage to old-school runners like the New Balance 990v6. For an extra pop of design, the O/S also features a sculpted TPU shank at the midfoot for more stability and style.

True to its earthy name, the “Cave Stone” colorway favors a tonal aesthetic. Tonal suede overlays are matched to brown mesh and a greyish-tan “Moon Particle” midsole, while “Ridgerock” accents are speckled around the interior. Coming full circle, reflective silver details on the heel add visibility and a dose of Jumpman heritage.

The “Cave Stone” colorway name is also shared with the upcoming Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone” that’s set to launch in September.

Jordan Brand is getting in step with the season. Coming Fall 2025, the Air Jordan 1 Low “Hemp” blends texture, warmth, and laid-back style in one clean package.

This pair doesn’t just stick to the basics. It features a soft hemp-colored suede base, leather overlays, and fleece tongues. Add in thick, textured laces and you’ve got something made to handle chilly days in style.

The standout here? Definitely the shaggy suede Swoosh and heel tab—both rough around the edges in the best way. Along the seams, contrast moc-style stitching gives it a hand-crafted energy without overdoing it.

Details like the embroidered Jumpman logo up top and Wings branding on the heel keep things familiar for longtime fans. A tonal rubber sole keeps it grounded in the classic AJ1 Low DNA.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Hemp” releases October 20, 2025 for $130 USD through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

Diving into the details, a pair of satin gold tongues with black Jumpman logos add punch to the look. Yellow plastic eyelets and elephant print overlays on the mudguards contribute more graphic elements to the look.

Molded heel tabs support two custom medallions on the back of the shoe, one with Brooklyn-based brand Mars Blackmon and the other with the 40 Acres logo.

Wrapping the midsole in metallic gold leather gives the insole some pop. A durable rubber outsole adds traction and comfort to the sneaker.

Aritzia x Nike LD-1000 Releases October 2025

Nike has just announced a collaboration with Aritzia, a luxury streetwear brand known for their minimalist and elevated take on classic wardrobe pieces. Hinted on their Instagram page, the Aritzia x Nike LD-1000 embraces the design cues from both brands: the Aritzia luxury, and the heritage of Nike’s design archive.

This new Nike LD-1000 by Aritzia has a clean brown leather upper with a small mini Swoosh on the toe, elegant stitching, a bronze four-leaf clover charm, and of course, the waffle outsole referencing the OG’s heritage. The overall look is a tonal, crisp, clean silhouette that’s simple yet polished. We think it’s a pretty seamless marriage of Aritzia and Nike — one that follows the line’s sleek silhouette with an understated, easy-to-style elevated streetwear aesthetic.

The Aritzia x Nike LD-1000 will release October 30th exclusively at Aritzia.com. Check out the official photos below and stay tuned for official launch details.

Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 15 Sample Surfaces

A new Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 15 Sample has surfaced — and it’s one of her boldest creations yet. This unreleased pair, dubbed “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, reimagines the silhouette with striking color and personal storytelling.

In contrast to her 2021 “Beige” Jordan 15, the shoe comes in a mustard yellow leather with a contrasting woven texture and vivid blue details across the tongue, lining, and pull tabs. On the outer side of the lateral is Billie’s hand-written signature saying, “When we all fall asleep, where do we go? “, a direct reference to her first album.

The rear heel tabs and sculpted midsole retain the futuristic DNA of the Jordan 15, while the color contrast delivers undeniable stage energy.

Unfortunately, this won’t be making its way to retail — it was made exclusively for Eilish and her crew.

That said, the release gives fans a look at what would have been one of her most expressive sneaker projects to date.

Sneaker Talk: OVO x Air Jordan 16 Sample

The OVO x Air Jordan 16 “White/Black/Infrared” Sample remains one of the rarest Drake collaborations to ever surface. First seen years ago as part of the OVO inner circle’s exclusive stash, this unreleased sample takes the silhouette Michael Jordan wore during his second return to the NBA and gives it a modern twist.

Originally launched in 2001, the Air Jordan 16 marked MJ’s comeback with the Washington Wizards, standing out for its removable shroud and luxury design cues. This OVO version keeps that DNA alive with a crisp white patent leather toe, black suede overlays, and a flashy infrared outsole paired with yellow midsole hits that recall early-2000s energy.

Inside, Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO) touch is unmistakable — a gold owl logo graces the footbed. Like past OVO x Jordan releases, this one blurs the line between sport and luxury.

Only a handful of these pairs exist, making them a collector’s dream. On resale platforms like GOAT, prices reflect their rarity — a size 11.5 lists around $3,309, while a size 12 goes for about $1,834.

Which OVO x Jordan collab do you think deserves a wider release?
