Kicking It x adidas Gazelle Indoor “Live Music” Honors Austin’s Soulful Sound

Austin’s Kicking It has teamed up with adidas for a new Gazelle Indoor “Live Music” sneaker.

Inspired by the city’s vibrant music scene and local landmark Antone’s blues club, where legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ray Charles used to perform, the sneakers feature a teal suede upper that pays homage to the Muddy Waters mural on the side of the Kicking It storefront, a symbol of hope and perseverance for the brand during the pandemic.

Attention to detail is at the forefront of every aspect of the sneaker. Details like guitar pick heel patches and string texture stripes along the sides pay homage to the city’s music culture, while maroon and yellow details represent Huston-Tillotson University, the alma mater of Kicking It founder Dr. Gregory Grovey II. Metallic “512” lace dubraes are a nod to Austin’s area code.

The collaboration is also community driven, with part of the proceeds going to music scholarships at East Texas University for members of the school’s jazz band. Kicking It will also host an in-store drop and free concert with J. Soulja and The Keezy Experience at the Antone’s venue.

The Kicking It x adidas Gazelle Indoor “Live Music” drops October 11th for $120 at Kicking It online and in-store.

Sneaker Politics x ASICS GEL-K1011 “Live Oak” Honors Louisiana’s Resilience

Sneaker Politics is teaming up once again with ASICS, this time on a soulful GEL-K1011 “Live Oak” inspired by Louisiana’s enduring natural beauty. Following their memorable GEL-Kayano 14 “Just Say No” collab, this project dives deeper into storytelling rooted in community pride.

Originally revived through a Gallery Dept. partnership in 2024, the GEL-K1011 is an under-the-radar gem blending design DNA from the GEL-Kayano 5, 6, and 10, paired with a GEL-Cumulus 17 midsole for balanced comfort and structure.

Inspired by the state tree, the Live Oak, with its storied history of survival in both tempests and hardship, the color palette is a natural, earthy greens and browns on the textured suede and mesh upper, accented by cool blues and a sunny yellow that symbolizes rebirth. The combination of rugged textures and organic tones makes the “Live Oak” the most down-to-earth ASICS collab to date.

The Sneaker Politics x ASICS GEL-K1011 “Live Oak” releases October 18th, exclusively through Sneaker Politics both in-store and online for $170 USD.

Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG “White/Black” Releases February 2026

UPDATE 10/9/25: New photos of the Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG “White/Black” have surfaced via holy_stephan on IG. This colorway is rumored to be a Japan-exclusive and will be released February 7, 2026. For full details, CLICK HERE.

Original Story 4/24/25:
The Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 2026 is a collaboration between Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design, Chris Gibbs’ Union LA, and Jordan Brand. These three major players have produced some of the most significant sneakers in recent years.

The color blocking is reminiscent of Fragment’s iconic Air Jordan 1 2014, also called “The Black Toe” style. It features Union’s iconic zigzag stitching for a more artisanal touch, and the co-branded insole features technical drawings reminiscent of the original Air Jordan 1’s sketch. A perfect blend of past and future for this collaboration.

I like the overall subtlety of the palette. It feels somewhat easy to wear while still having enough narrative for sneaker collectors. Based on Union and Fragment’s past collabs, I am assuming this drop will be hard to get.

Fragment Union Air Jordan 1 White Black 2026 Release Date

The Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG “White/Black” is scheduled to release February 7, 2026 as a Japan-exclusive. Expect it to hit Fragment Design, Union LA, select Jordan retailers.

Jayson Tatum x Jordan “World Tour” Pack Unites The Tatum 4 and Air Jordan 11 Low IE

Jayson Tatum’s latest signature sneaker from Jordan Brand is very much a story about overcoming. This Jayson Tatum x Jordan World Tour Pack, available in both the Tatum 4 and Air Jordan 11 Low IE, takes on themes of resilience during a time when the Celtics star struggled with injury.

Similar to last year’s Tatum 3 “World Tour”, this new pack of signature footwear for Tatum combines purpose and a personal narrative. Air Jordan 11 Low IE utilizes a clean color scheme with white and Sail with pops of an electric cerulean Jumpman. Those icy blue pops are repeated in the Tatum 4, which shares a similar color story in addition to premium tumbled leather uppers to join the silhouettes together.

Performance is still at the forefront of the Tatum 4. Jordan Brand improved the silhouette by adding Strobel S-seams, Cushlon 3.0 foam, and forefoot Zoom Air to enhance responsiveness when he needs to explode in a single direction. The TPU shank plate has also been redesigned to provide a more stable feel — which is necessary for someone returning from a severe injury. That’s the kind of design and engineering sneakerheads obsess over.

Internationally, the “World Tour” theme will take fans around the world, with only being released in cities as emblematic of Tatum’s global impact: St. Louis, London, Tokyo, and Shanghai. In areas surrounding TOKYO 23, the October 23rd will be your release date.

Specific global drop dates have not been announced yet, but this partnership embodies Tatum’s fashionable style and on-court performance, and what he’s had to overcome off the court.

On the ground, N-ergy shock absorption and ABZORB SBS cushioning provide a smooth ride for daily use. The rugged hex pattern outsole offers solid grip and stability.
