Where To Buy The CAV EMPT x Nike Air Max DN8 Pack

UPDATE 8/20/25: Cav Empt has confirmed its Nike Air Max DN8 sneaker release, starting with a Japan-only drop on August 22nd at 9 AM JST through CAVEMPT.com. All three colorways are included, though only the white and green pairs will see a wider release on August 27th via SNKRS and select retailers. The blue and black edition looks to remain exclusive to Cav Empt.

In addition to these pieces, Dover Street Market will also have a early release on August 22nd with an in-store installation. Pairs will also be sold online via DSML E-Shop for those outside Japan.

Original Story 7/25/25:
Tokyo’s CAV EMPT is back with another colorful and disruptive Nike collaboration—this spotlighting the Air Max DN8. Dropped in three colorways as seen in the brand’s Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook, the black, grey, and teal pairs feature all-over digital camo graphics on the mesh upper and midsoles. The graphics reinforce the tech-heavy feel that CAV EMPT has always incorporated in each of their bold and eye-catching drops.

The all-over camo treatment is similar to the brand’s 2019 Air Max 95 collaboration, but the DN8 has a slightly more futuristic shape thanks to the visible Air units encased in molded soles. The pairs have branded tongues and crisp overlays on top of that.

CAV EMPT was founded in 2011 by SK8THING, Toby Feltwell, and Yutaka Hishiyama. Since its founding the brand has blended influences from cyberpunk aesthetics, 90s net art, and tangible subculture in their clothing and collaborations. Each drop is a look at a discombobulated visual glitch from another time and place.

The CAV EMPT x Nike Air Max DN8 will drop August 22, 2025 and will be sold exclusively at cavempt.com. As usual, it will be available in extremely limited quantities.

This is a collab for collectors and style disruptors—another reminder that streetwear can still surprise us.

The six shoe capsule riffs on classic adidas performance footwear, reimagining styles that have spanned more than six decades of the brand’s innovation.

Reviving early-2000s energy, the Supernova Cushion 7 is reissued before the all-time classic Energy Boost (2013) makes a triumphant return, following its history in popularizing adidas’ Boost cushioning technology. The capsule concludes with the present day with the Kith Classic take on the daily training runner and race-day staple Adizero Boston 13, a first in the sneaker’s co-branded design.

Release Date & Where To Buy

The Kith Fall 2025 Collection, which includes the adidas Running capsule, will be available Friday, August 22nd at Kith.com and at Kith stores around the world.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Metalwork” Releases September 2nd

UPDATE 8/20/25: The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Metalwork” will release on September 2nd via SNKRS.

Original Story 6/22/25:
This sneaker doesn’t play it safe. It rolls out with rough vibes and serious edge.

Nike crafted this pair with distressed suede that looks well-worn right out of the box. Thick rope laces and oxidized eyelets back up the gritty look.

The Swoosh doesn’t rest easy—it bolts onto the upper like it means business. Even the tongue tag locks in place with visible screws.

Nike didn’t hide the details. They leaned into the brutalist theme. Each part adds personality and toughness to the sneaker.

The midsole carries the same story. Faded overlays and textured wear patterns give it a battle-hardened vibe.

Instead of chasing perfection, this shoe embraces chaos. It’s bold, unique, and ready for anything.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Metalwork” will release September 2, 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers for $130 USD.

If clean white pairs bore you, this sneaker offers something grittier. It’s loud without saying a word.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Fauna Brown” Covered In Croc Leather

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Fauna Brown” joins the recently seen “Croc Leather” pairs dropping Fall 2025.

The pair is built on premium leather that features a square embossed texture across the upper. An earthy brown tone is used throughout with contrast stitching to keep with the fall color scheme. The AF1 Low gets a slightly upscale and crafted feel compared to the everyday GR you may be used to.

The textured leather is also present in the midsole and features a lighter brown tone. The leather is expected to develop a patina over time, resulting in a one-of-one feel. A darker outsole balances out the brown leather, and golden lace dubraes pay homage to past Air Force 1 releases.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Fauna Brown” drops Fall 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com.

This is sure to be a highly sought after release.

New Balance 2010 Introduces “Vintage Indigo” and “Ice Wine” Styles

New Balance is reviving a pair of retro styles with new colorways of the 2010 in “Ice Wine” and “Vintage Indigo”.

Made with a combination of mesh and suede, the shoes offer a laid-back vibe with just a touch of retro flair. Neutral grey accents and the classic “N” logo further ground the sneakers in New Balance heritage.

The “Ice Wine” 2010 offers a feminine appeal with dusty pastels while the “Vintage Indigo” 2010 is more modern and edgy. Sitting on an off-white midsole, the colorways exude a subtle vintage charm, while ABZORB SBS cushioning keeps the shoes supremely comfortable.

Air Jordan 2/3 Surfaces in “Knicks” Colorway

The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample has surfaced, giving fans a look at what might have been the cleanest version yet. The Jordan 2/3 hybrid hasn’t gained much traction compared to other recent mash-ups like the Spiz’ike Low or Jordan 4 RM. Only four colorways have released in 2025 so far, most hitting discounts within weeks. This Knicks-inspired sample, originally targeted for Spring 2025, feels like it could have shifted that story.

The pair features a low-cut Air Jordan 2 upper dressed in white leather, detailed with orange piping and bold blue lining. Underfoot, the Jordan 3 sole unit appears in Sail, accented by blue around the heel for contrast. Knicks colors on Jordans always bring mixed feelings. New Yorkers remember the ’90s battles with Michael Jordan, when the Bulls repeatedly crushed the Knicks’ playoff hopes. Some die-hard Knicks fans even avoided Jordans altogether, instead rocking Patrick Ewing’s own line.

Still, there’s no denying that a Knicks colorway always sparks attention in New York City. The look carries both nostalgia and irony, making this unreleased hybrid one of the more interesting samples from Jordan Brand in recent years.

Whether the Jordan 2/3 Knicks ever sees a drop remains uncertain. Reports point to a planned Spring 2025 release, but it never made it past the sample stage. Collectors will be watching closely in case Jordan Brand decides to revisit the design.

The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample is not confirmed for release. Stay tuned for updates if retail plans change.

Jordan Dub Zero “Motorsports Laser” Sample Surfaces

Back in 2005, Jordan Brand dropped the Dub Zero. A mash-up built from the Air Jordan 4, 6, and 11. Fans still argue about it. What nobody forgets are the etched panels. That detail gave the shoe its own lane during mid-2000s Jordan experiments.

Now a “Motorsports Laser” Sample has surfaced. White tumbled leather runs the base. Black trim sharpens the edges. And those laser graphics? They cover both sides, bold as ever. Look once—you’ll spot them instantly. A visible Air unit in the heel and sculpted midsole keep the hybrid DNA alive. Clean lines. Strong presence.

Inside, the tag reads “SP25.” Spring 2025 was the target. Whether it ever hits stores, who knows. Jordan Brand samples get delayed. Some never make it. That risk is part of the Dub Zero story. Which, honestly, makes this pair more interesting. Collectors who once ignored the Dub Zero are starting to circle back.

Right now, it’s just a look at what could have been. If Jordan Brand pushes it through, hybrid fans will jump. If not, this pair stays a reminder of one of Jordan’s boldest experiments.

The Jordan Dub Zero “Motorsport Laser” is not confirmed for release. Updates will follow if plans change.

UPDATE 8/20/25: The Air Jordan 1 Low “Tokyo Bio Hack” is now available on Nike.com.

The Air Jordan 1 Low is getting a vibrant makeover inspired by one of 2020’s standout sneakers—the “Tokyo Bio Hack.” Set to launch in Summer 2025, this new low-top model offers a colorful twist on a modern classic.

Though it doesn’t mirror the original pair exactly, the new design leans heavily on the same bold attitude.

Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone” Now Available (August 2025)

UPDATE 8/20/25: The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 4/2/25:
Jordan Brand is ready to spice up the Summer 2025 season with the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone”, a fresh take inspired by the upcoming Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone” release. Though it’s not a direct match, the color blocking hints at Travis Scott’s fan-favorite “Mocha” AJ1.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid pairs smooth white leather with dark chocolate suede overlays, while black and brown tones alternate on the collar and Swoosh. A vibrant touch comes in the form of pink sock liners and yellow tongues, which add warmth and energy. An aged midsole and black rubber outsole seal the vintage vibe.

This colorway is another sign that Jordan Brand is stepping back from strict color-matching across retro drops and instead leaning into creative new palettes—offering something that feels both nostalgic and new.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone” is expected to drop on August 20, 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and on Nike.com. It will be available in men’s sizing, with a retail price of $140 USD.

The upper blends smooth suede and mesh-like fabric for texture galore. And let’s not overlook that fuzzy Swoosh—it’s giving major teddy bear vibes. The darker overlays contrast perfectly with the brighter blue underlays, creating a layered look that’s anything but boring.

Breaking up the sea of blue, the white midsole adds a fresh, clean touch. Down below, the navy rubber outsole brings back grip and swagger in equal measure. This Dunk doesn’t just walk—it struts.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Switches Up Materials With This “Corduroy” Pack

Nike is giving the Air Force 1 Low a textured treatment with the all-over corduroy remake coming for Fall 2025.

The two colorways both come with ribbed corduroy uppers, with vertical paneling on the toe box and sides, and then overlays with the texture running horizontally for visual contrast.

Nike Shox TL “Black/University Gold” Brings Back 2000s Energy

The Nike Shox TL is making a high-impact return, bringing back a silhouette that was one of the most popular at the start of the 2000s.

With a futuristic aesthetic and easily recognizable cushioning pillars, the Shox line was for a time Nike’s most performance-minded and streetwear-approved footwear. This forthcoming colorway is no different, offering a sleek combination of stealth and bravado.

Grounded in black mesh, the shoe’s upper is layered with glossy TPU cages that form ribbed frame around the rest of the shoe. Highlights of University Gold adorn the side Swooshes, lace loops, tongue branding and contrast lining at the heel of the shoe.

Accenting the shoe further are reflective elements on the laces and the immediately recognizable Shox columns in black on the midsole.
