Sneaker Talk: OVO x Air Jordan 12 “White”

The OVO x Air Jordan 12 “White” was a widely anticipated 2016 drop thanks to its mix of luxurious accents and clean aesthetics. Adorned with a white tumbled leather upper, textured faux stingray overlays, and metallic gold hardware, the pair was one of October’s Very Own’s most popular and on-trend looks. A translucent outsole complete with OVO branding made the sneakers instantly recognizable and the gold accents helped draw attention to the premium finish.

Dropped in October 2016, the Air Jordan 12 was made available through NIKE SNKRS drawings as well as exclusive raffles at OVO’s Toronto and Los Angeles flagship stores. At the time, Jordan Brand was in the process of building its high-end collaborative pieces, and this release was one of the strongest sneaker moments for Drake. While there have been other limited Jordans to send resale heat, this OVO edition set the tone for premium Jordan collaborations.

In hindsight, the “White” OVO 12 was a good pick for sure. The reasons the sneaker was so successful in that sense are what old-school sneakerheads will dig — a sneaker that can be worn on court or off and still have that cache. While many collaborations from that year and after were over-the-top, the “White” OVO 12 remained rather simple, but executed in a luxe way, which helped it to age gracefully.

Where To Buy

If you missed out on the OVO x Air Jordan 12 “White” back in 2016, there are still pairs available on resale platforms like StockX, but pricing will fluctuate.

adidas Originals Pet Collection Expands With Fall-Ready Puffer Vests and Tracksuits

adidas Originals is spicing up their Pet Collection for the Fall with some cozy essentials. Focusing on outerwear, this season’s additions include puffer vests, windbreakers, and tracksuits.

Adding in everything from the brand’s “pet parent wear” to high end details on the dog leash and water resistant jackets, it’s their latest aim to blur the line between performance and lifestyle products.

Standouts in the lineup include a few special touches like cowhide leather collars and an original pet backpack with ventilation mesh pockets and a Trefoil window.

We love to see unique accessories that really take a whole collection up a notch. The Pet Collection isn’t the first time we’ve seen apparel made for pets, but it’s about time a major sportswear brand gave this a legit Originals treatment. In this case, it’s essentially the same cool vibe as an Originals Superstar tracksuit, translated into your fur baby’s size.

This drop is available now, but exclusively in China. There’s no word on a U.S release, but we will be keeping a close eye on this one.

Nike Air Max 95 “Grey Fog/Particle Grey” Returns With OG Big Bubble

The Nike Air Max 95 for Fall 2025 is a nostalgic reissue with a few updates.

Sergio Lozano’s original design returns with its DNA-inspired gradient sidewalls, mesh upper, and stacked panels that have been a staple of the shoe since its 1995 launch. The neutral color palette of Grey Fog, Metallic Silver, and Particle Grey also ensures a sleek, versatile aesthetic that will work for both streetwear and casual occasions.

Nike is also dusting off the sneaker’s OG Big Bubble Air unit, an ultra-comfy system that sneakerheads have long clamored for. The original Air Max 95 dropped with a noticeably larger bubble on the heel – only for Nike to decrease its size in the following years. However, for the sneaker’s 30th anniversary celebrations, the brand has now restored the true-to-OG cushioning across a handful of drops.

Offering rope laces, a supportive Photon Dust midsole, and premium detailing, the reissue nicely encapsulates the best of old and new.

The Nike Air Max 95 “Grey Fog/Particle Grey” is set to release Fall 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers.

Kuromi x Crocs Classic Clog Brings A Punk Twist This Halloween

The new Kuromi x Crocs Classic Clog is a fun but rebellious purple-and-black design.

Bold, fun, and punk, this quirky version has an all-over pattern of Kuromi, Baku, and similar imagery on the Croslite™ upper. Themed Jibbitz™ charms, such as a white rabbit and signature pink skull bow, add extra character.

Matching the playful design, the classic crocodile print is replaced by Kuromi motifs on the heel strap hinges. A detachable Kuromi wordmark across the back strap gives a shout-out to the devil-may-care Sanrio character. It all comes together with a black slip-resistant outsole that contrasts with the vivid purple upper while still maintaining the original sole’s comfort.

Crocs has made pop culture icons a part of its collection in the past, and this new drop is another great addition to their lineup. Crocs and Sanrio fans will want to keep an eye out for this collectible pair.

The Kuromi x Crocs Classic Clog drops October 31, 2025 at Crocs.com and select retailers.

PUMA Channels Elphaba & Glinda in Wicked Speedcat Collection

Inspired by the award-winning theatrical hit, PUMA and Wicked have created a sneaker collection that pays homage to the musical’s core characters and classic story.

The “Elphaba” Speedcat by Wicked channels the spunky spirit of the musical’s standout anti-heroine. In keeping with Elphaba’s gothic flair, black uppers feature dimensional ruffles and electric green foil stitching for an edgy touch. A tongue tag inscribed with the word “Wicked” seals the look with a touch of drama.

Glinda’s collaboration is a master class in fabulous. Feminine pastels like soft pink and lilac are elevated with frilly accents and crystal embellishments. Bubble embroidery on the heel references her enchanted travel bubble.

Completing the collection is the “Silver Slippers” Speedcat Ballet, a glittering Mary Jane silhouette inspired by Dorothy’s iconic footwear. Metallic uppers, spiral stitch lines and three glitter straps complete the shoe.

Wicked-themed branding and theatrical elements make an appearance on each style.

“Silver Metallic” New Balance 1000 Comes With Pops of “Rose Sugar”

This New Balance 1000 brings futuristic vibes to the refreshed late-’90s silhouette.

Metallic silver leather dominates the sleek retro-tech look. Soft “Rose Sugar” logos provide subtle contrast, while maroon accents on the tongue, heel and midsole add depth. Dark grey outsole and sockliner accents complete the color palette.

New Balance originally released the 1000 in 1999. It has slowly re-emerged in recent years, propelled by the chunky runner trend and Y2K nostalgia. This pair melds both elements, with a nod to OG fans and new collectors alike. That chunky upper and bold midsole is definitely of the time, but the metallic treatment updates it for 2025.

The New Balance 1000 “Silver Metallic/Rose Sugar” will drop Fall 2025 for $155 via NewBalance.com and select retailers.

Air Jordan 1 Low “Somos Eternos” Celebrates Día de Muerto

UPDATE 10/3/25: After the Air Jordan 4 reveal, official photos of the Air Jordan 1 Low “Somos Eternos” arrive. Inspired by Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos), the pair is set to release in November 2025.

Original Story 9/5/25:
Jordan Brand pays homage to Día de Muerto with the Air Jordan 1 Low “Somos Eternos” edition. The Air Jordan 1 Low continues the collaboration’s theme of honoring tradition.

The Day of the Dead is a somber holiday, but it’s also a celebration of the people we’ve lost with color, joy, and a chance to remember what they meant to us. That’s exactly the vibe on display here with blue overlays accented with cream leather and pops of playful pink on the laces. A bright sun graphic is also displayed on the tongue for that extra glow up. The Swoosh has a more layered look thanks to a series of cut-out designs. It’s a subtle detail sneakerheads will no doubt geek out on.

The footwear also comes in “Somos Eternos” themed boxes that pack a similar punch. They also include a candle sticker as a modern-day offering. It’s cheeky and all in good fun, but it also does a nice job of letting people know sneakers are cool when they’re paying tribute to culture.

The Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Somos Eternos” debuts in Japan on September 8, 2025, with a broader release to come in the Día de Muerto period of late October and early November.

Jewell Loyd Gets Her Own Nike A’One “Sequence” PE

The Nike A’One “Sequence” PE is the latest in a line of player exclusives for Jewell Loyd. However, these sneakers have an even more meaningful layer for Loyd. She has consistently used sneakers as canvases for her life story, the people around her and her career journey.

This special edition colorway, a green and black upper with digital-inspired graphics, represents how Loyd sees and interprets words because of her dyslexia. The print pattern is meant to represent Loyd’s strength and connection to Nike A’One signature athlete A’ja Wilson, who has dyslexia as well. Their connection also shows how sneakers can be used to highlight empathy and power as much as they can highlight sports prowess.

Metallic Swooshes, bright coded text, and future-forward paneling give it shape. That vision is elevated to art with details that make it feel so personal it’s beyond future. It’s that intersection that makes great players exclusive. Nike has used this pair to remind fans that footwear can help connect performance and identity. It’s been able to create conversation that goes far beyond the hardwood.

The Nike A’One “Sequence” PE is not likely to see a public release, but it will stand tall culturally. For Loyd, it’s more than just a shoe. It’s a stage for her story.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Safari” Releases Holiday 2025

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Safari” is set to launch Holiday 2025, bringing one of Tinker Hatfield’s most popular designs back to life. The print was originally featured on the 1987 Air Safari, an Air Max-style cross-trainer that broke the mold with its furniture-inspired textures and daring style.

Nike SB previously tapped into that heritage during the Paris 2024 Olympics, dropping a Dunk Low with Safari cues. Now, this Friends and Family pair leans even closer to Hatfield’s original “Cobblestone/Black/Monarch” colorway, blending skateboarding functionality with a piece of Nike history. The combination of the two things make this drop feel much more than just another SB for collectors.

The standout feature is the Safari-print overlays across the forefoot, eyestays, and heel. Black nubuck underlays balance the design, while Monarch Orange suede at the toe box adds contrast. A light grey Swoosh cuts through the mid-panel, and Nike embroidery hits the heel tab in bright orange. Underfoot, a cream midsole with subtle aging effects sits atop a black outsole, offering durability and vintage character. Skaters also have the choice of black and orange extra laces to deck themselves out in.

Fans of Nike SB’s storied collabs will recognize this look as a continuation of the brand’s decades-old legacy: connecting skate culture to vintage Nike gear. It’s the kind of easter egg sneakerheads will spot, bridging the gap between eras of performance and style.

Nike SB Dunk Low Safari 2025 Release Date

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Safari” drops Holiday 2025 at select skate shops and Nike.com for $130 USD.

Air Jordan 4 SE “Somos Eternos” Celebrates 2025 Día de Muertos

The Air Jordan 4 SE “Somos Eternos” is joining Jordan Brand’s annual Día de Muertos collection in 2025. Celebrated all across Mexico and beyond, the holiday commemorates those who have passed away with customs such as ofrendas, marigolds, and colorful art. The sneaker channels that tradition with an elevated twist.

Available in a premium combination of Soft Pearl, Metallic Gold, Light Bone, and Jade Horizon, the duo nods to the intricate golden floral designs and decorative motifs often incorporated in Día de Muertos artwork. Decorative overlays of smooth leather, breathable mesh panels, and sculpted TPU wings maintain the classic silhouette of the Air Jordan 4, while stand-out details like gold tongue patches, insoles with a special “Somos Eternos” stamp, and a chain-accented Jumpman hangtag complete the design.

On the bottom, there’s a Jade Horizon midsole with fine speckling, accented with Sail and blue to contrast. The outsole is translucent to show off additional Jumpman branding and logos on every angle. The box also follows the theme of the sneaker, using “Somos Eternos” lettering and custom graphics for the packaging.

Every year, Día de Muertos collections from Jordan Brand get droptimes penciled into sneakerheads’ calendars with days to spare. Air Jordan 4 sets the bar even higher with its mastery of storytelling and craftsmanship. These kicks are sure to catch eyes for their intricate details and balance of streetwear flair and collectible design.

Brain Dead and adidas Serving Up Two Barricade 13 Colorways

Performance and streetwear are combined in one under the subversive aesthetic with the Brain Dead x adidas Barricade 13.

The Barricade silhouette has always been synonymous with performance on the court, and the latest iteration is no exception. The design features REPETITOR cushioning as well as an extended traction strip along the medial side of the upper that loops around and down for stability.

In two colorways, the Brain Dead styling subverts the design with bright and metallic twists. A silver and grey mesh colorway features chrome elements, brown laces, and pops of yellow to give the sneakers an unorthodox appearance while still maintaining its athletic essence. Burgundy and blue shaggy uppers make for a decidedly more vibrant look, playing with materials that has been appearing frequently in Brain Dead’s collections.

The release date for the adidas Barricade 13 from Brain Dead will be on October 6th and retail for $160. The sneakers will be available on adidas.com and at select retailers.

Nike Basketball Class of 2025 NIL Athletes Announced

Nike Basketball announced its Class of 2025 NIL Athletes on Thursday and revealed an exciting group that includes Aaliyah Chavez, Brandon McCoy, and Tyran Stokes. The additions give Nike yet another recruiting coup and underscore the brand’s commitment to leading the NIL revolution and playing a major role in developing basketball’s future stars.

Oklahoma-bound Aaliyah Chavez is the No. 1 player in the country, according to the consensus of top prep rankings. The nation’s leading returning player finished her prep career with just under 4,800 points and 1,300 rebounds, a prep scoring record that will be nearly impossible to top. Twice a Nike Nationals champion, Chavez will also be part of the 2025 USA Women’s Nike Hoop Summit Team.

Brandon McCoy, who recently moved to powerhouse Sierra Canyon, has earned a number of significant wins already, including titles at the Mamba League Invitational and U19 FIBA World Cup. He also averaged 22 points as part of Nike’s EYBL Peach Jam.

Tyran Stokes, meanwhile, has continued to be a dynamo for Notre Dame High. He’s currently on the USA Basketball Gold team after averaging 21 points per game last season while racking up gold at the U16, U17 and U19 FIBA tournaments.

Aaliyah Chavez, Brandon McCoy, and Tyran Stokes join JuJu Watkins, Dylan Harper and AJ Dybantsa on Nike’s NIL roster. For the brand, the NIL agreements are less sponsorships and more partnerships that further the culture of the game.

adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball II “Wonder Oxide” Releases October 2025

Jerry Lorenzo’s growing performance line takes a subdued turn with the adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball II “Wonder Oxide.”

Constructed from mesh-and-synthetic upper materials, this take on the silhouette is treated in a muted rose-finish shade. Complemented with tonal laces and minimal accents, the restrained build is a testament to Lorenzo’s design aesthetic. Details on this release are sparse, with Fear of God branding in the heel and small adidas text across the toe. In that restraint, the product’s understated color and form factor do most of the talking.

Game play isn’t forgotten though. Its sculpted LIGHTSTRIKE midsole provides lightweight cushioning while radial-pattern traction underfoot aids in stability.

Arriving at retail October 17, 2025, the adidas Fear of God Athletics Basketball II “Wonder Oxide” will launch for $180 at adidas.com and select retailers.

Veneda Carter Shows Off Fragment x Nike Book 1 PE

UPDATE 10/3/25: Veneda Carter gives us another look at the fragment x Nike Book 1 “Blue Python” collab. As of now, there is no release date scheduled.

Original Story 12/12/24:
Devin Booker’s “Book Club” sneaker series might unveil an exciting new addition soon. Hiroshi Fujiwara, the creative force behind Fragment Design, has hinted at a potential Fragment x Nike Book 1 collaboration. While Nike has yet to confirm this, sneaker enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the news. If true, this would mark Fragment’s first involvement with the Book 1 and a bold leap into Nike Basketball’s modern silhouettes.

The teased collaboration draws inspiration from the Book 1 “Python” colorway, with unique design enhancements. A vibrant blue leather Swoosh contrasts perfectly against the clean blue-and-white outsole, creating a sleek and dynamic look. Fragment Design’s iconic branding graces the heel and tongue, giving the sneaker a distinct, exclusive appeal.

However, the collaboration’s availability remains a mystery. It’s unclear if this version is a player-exclusive (PE) for Booker or if it will be offered to the public. Traditionally, Fragment Design’s Nike collaborations focus on retro and lifestyle models like the Air Jordan 1 and Dunk High. A partnership involving a contemporary basketball silhouette would mark a significant departure from their usual approach.

Stay connected for more updates on this possible collaboration. Whether a PE or a retail drop, the Fragment x Nike Book 1 could solidify its place as a must-have in the sneaker community, blending sport, style, and innovation seamlessly.
