adidas Samba Gets A Winter Upgrade in Black and Brown for Fall 2025

The adidas Samba Winter for Fall 2025 takes the classic shoe on a winter-ready journey.

Slim and terrace-ready, the silhouette gets an outdoors rebrand, complete with an aggressively textured sole for winter traction. Instantly differentiates this from the parade of retro reissues of the last several years.

Hairy suede textures the upper, while synthetic overlays protect the toe and heel. Rope laces and metal eyelets further speak to the hiking inspiration. Reflective detailing on the stripes and heel tab close things out with some functional flair. A welcome departure for a silhouette now building out its own streetwear durability.

Two colorways headline the drop, black and an earthy brown. Each iteration remains true to the Samba formula while extending the silhouette in a utility direction. A smart pivot, as sneaker brands lean into weather-proof silhouettes.

Available through adidas.com and selected retailers, the adidas Samba Winter drops Fall 2025.

Jordan Trunner O/S “Purple Smoke” Releases October 2025

The Jordan Trunner O/S is officially debuting and Jordan Brand has provided a fitting launch pad for the retro runner. One particular drop, an all-new “Purple Smoke” colorway, injects something of a lifestyle flavor into today’s typical exercise and running-focused drops.

As sneaker trends further shift from ‘80s basketball silhouettes to ‘90s-inspired suede and mesh runners, the Trunner O/S could not be more timely. Arriving in the early 2000s as a jack-of-all-trades lifestyle shoe, the Trunner collection has long been synonymous with multi-function training and running sneakers.

The silhouette’s upper is a tough mesh and suede patchwork decked out in muted purples, highlighted by electric blue laces and stringing. A molded midfoot strap keeps things secure, a common Trunner feature. A sturdy chunky foam midsole in soft pink hues provides further support and nostalgia. Jumpman branding, along with pops of yellow in the heel, help to finish the style.

The Jordan Trunner O/S “Purple Smoke” will drop in October 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and on Nike.com. The retail price is set at $115 USD.

Jordan Brand continues its push into lifestyle sneakers with the new Jordan Trunner O/S “Archaeo Brown”. This model blends retro running inspiration with modern comfort for everyday wear.

This Trunner features a mix of suede and mesh across the upper, creating a durable yet breathable design. Its standout “Archaeo Brown” and “Persian Violet” colorway delivers a vintage trail-runner vibe. Pull tabs on the tongue and heel make the sneaker easy to slip on and off.

A thick, ribbed midsole enhances the chunky look, while a perforated side cage offers added structure and support. You’ll find Jumpman branding on the heel and outsole, tying it back to Jordan’s signature identity.

Air Jordan 1 MCS Baseball Cleats “Black/White” Releases Fall 2025

Basketball heritage meets the field with the Air Jordan 1 MCS Baseball “Black/White” for Fall 2025.

Crafted from black leather, the uppers take inspiration from the iconic Jordan 1 silhouette. White accents from the Swoosh and Wings logo are subtle nods to MJ’s signature crossover move from hoops to baseball.

In the midsole, a metal spike MCS plate ensures stability for quick pivots, while Max Air technology provides a cushioned ride. Nike didn’t just pay homage to the Jordan 1 with a similar design. They infused a baseball cleat with MJ’s legacy.

Shoes take elements of the Jordan brand DNA across all style cues, from perforations in the toe box to padded ankle support. Compared to previous retro-inspired baseball cleats, they stay a bit more traditional, while offering performance features for players that want classic design and playability.

The Air Jordan 1 MCS “Black/White” Baseball Cleats are set to release Fall 2025 for $150 at Nike.com.

Kobe Bryant’s adidas Crazy 2 “USA” Releasing in 2026

The adidas Kobe 2 “USA” will return in 2026, more than two decades after it was initially released. Kobe Bryant first donned the all-American retro on October 30, 2001, as the Los Angeles Lakers opened the 2001-02 season. The Kobe 2, swathed from head to toe in red, white, and blue, was a bold yet patriotic design that Bryant used to pay tribute to those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks earlier that month.

The Kobe 2 has always been a polarizing sneaker among basketball fans. A futuristic, boxy design that defied convention for the style of basketball shoes at the time, the Kobe 2 was one of the most out-there silhouettes the NBA has ever seen. In addition, the Kobe 2 would be the final Kobe Bryant signature for adidas — with the player paying millions of dollars to leave his contract with the three stripes behind in order to sign with Nike, one of the biggest moves in sneaker history that helped lead to one of the most iconic signature lines in history.

In recent years, adidas has been able to make a successful revival of the original silhouette under the Crazy 2 name, which has had all the OG colorways selling out quickly. While the retro has been officially removed from Kobe Bryant branding, it has continued to do big business with both basketball fans and collectors that grew up in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

This is more than just a simple sneaker reissue; this release is a chance for fans to reflect on Kobe Bryant, basketball, and cultural history.

adidas Crazy 2 USA 2026 Release Date

Oregon Ducks Ready To Hit The Field in Bold Nike Kobe 6 Cleats

The University of Oregon upholds its Nike heritage with the introduction of the Oregon Ducks x Nike Kobe 6 Cleat PE for Game 3 of the season.

The Kobe 6 basketball shoe influences the color and style of this cleat. The clean white base contrasts Oregon’s signature green and yellow. A bright green Swoosh lined in yellow ties it all together.

The subtle Ducks nods throughout the design are all the hint sneakerheads need to know that this one is very player only. That’s the kind of detail to look for.

Rolled out with the release of Oregon’s latest uniform, the Kobe 6 Cleat PE quickly became the biggest story. It’s just another example of Oregon football and Nike’s love for pushing the envelope on cleat design with a little bit of dope sneaker culture. Few teams around the world can do both while still paying homage to a legend like Kobe Bryant.

Unfortunately for sneakerheads, the Nike Kobe 6 Cleat PE for Oregon won’t see a public release. It is a true on-field exclusive for the Ducks.

Ja Morant Helped Design This Nike Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY”

Ja Morant is moving in a new direction with a new streetwear collab as the NBA season approaches. The Memphis Grizzlies guard will be teaming up with Nike Basketball for the Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY”, which pays tribute to New York City’s famous summer basketball tournament.

The “NY vs NY” league is a well-known basketball tournament in the city, bringing together the best high school players in the city to play in some of the most famous playgrounds in the world such as Rucker Park and Dyckman. Nike has in the past created a connection between the tournament and exclusive sneaker drops, but this release is even more special given Morant’s growing celebrity.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low features a polished build that’s as simple as it is detailed. Starting with a black premium nubuck upper as a base, the shoe is finished with tumbled leather Swooshes for some texture. White rope laces provide bold contrast and powder blue accents on the lace dubrae and insole give the shoe a pop without being too much. On the heel, there’s an embroidered “NY vs NY” that reiterates the city culture. A gum sole is used on the bottom to provide a classic, durable finish. The gum element is what makes this pair stand out from the rest.

Instead of being a signature shoe for the Ja line, this Air Force 1 stays true to the tournament’s legacy and features no personal branding. Despite that, it still feels like a seamless intersection between the rising basketball superstar and the city’s streetball culture. The sneaker is a minimal, everyday-ready Air Force 1 that forges a link between basketball performance shoes and lifestyle classics.

The Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY” is set to release Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $125 USD.

Air Jordan 1 Low Appears With Watermelon Vibes

Jordan Brand keeps summer vibes fresh with the Air Jordan 1 Low “Watermelon”, a vivid combination of green and pink hues. This playful take embraces the season’s energy while paying homage to colorways popular with past summer releases.

The shoe is constructed with a leather upper divided between two different green tones — “Fir” and “Malachite” to reference the watermelon rind. The contrasting tones are playfully accented by pops of “Pink Blast” on the Swoosh, Jumpman tongue logo, and heel Wings branding. This new colorway was given the nickname of “Watermelon” for these pink and green details. An off-white midsole complements the rest of the palette, set on top of a dark green rubber outsole.

The Air Jordan 1 Low is a classic silhouette favored by sneakerheads that love the brand’s traditional Jordan Brand DNA in a low-top profile. The “Watermelon” colorway is a new addition that is ideal for multiple styles and stands out for the upcoming seasonal Jordan Brand releases. It also has the right amount of summery vibes from that pop of pink contrasting against the more subdued greens.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Watermelon” will release soon through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers for $115 USD. Are you picking up this new fruity release for your rotation?

BAPE STA Returns In A Patent Leather Trio

There aren’t many sneakers with a history as storied as the BAPE STA, and this September it’s back with a triple “Patent Leather” offering.

Originating in the early 2000s, the STA quickly became a cultural staple. Worn by Pharrell, Kanye and untold sneakerheads, it was a key factor in elevating the silhouette to global relevancy. Unlike many sneakers that drew inspiration from basketball culture, the BAPE STA created its own lane, and in the process, ensured every drop would feel special.

This offering is available in three colorways: the original Turquoise Blue, a fan favorite Black and a crisp White. All three pairs keep true to the brand’s signature DNA with a bold side star and debossed APE HEAD heel logo. Luxurious details like silver eyelets and APE HEAD lace dubraes provide additional refinement. That subtle hardware is exactly the type of attention to detail sneakerheads will notice.

Release Date & Where To Buy

All three colorways will be available starting September 13, 2025, at BAPE STORE® locations and US.BAPE.COM.

Miu Miu x New Balance 530 Just Dropped For $1,220

Miu Miu is back with more premium upgrades to the New Balance 530, dropping three new colorways for Fall 2025. The line originally debuted on Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2024 runway show, slimming down the silhouette and adding a fashion-first edge to the classic retro runner. The release was so popular it even influenced New Balance to put out the mass-friendly 204L, but there’s nothing like the runway-ready refinement of the original.

Compared to the standard 530’s chunkier ABZORB midsole, the Miu Miu 530 has a lower profile for a sleeker and more elevated aesthetic. The three pairs launched for Fall 2025 include a glossy black patent leather edition, a metallic silver and white edition with gold accents, and a more muted grey suede pair with gum soles. For the first time, the 530 will also feature mesh construction, sneakerhead-approved details that hint at the shoe’s technical runner heritage.

Though their $1,220 retail price point is a bit of a barrier, the Miu Miu x New Balance 530 has left a strong impression on the sneaker community with its luxury-retro balance and high-fashion meets heritage design approach.

The latest trio of Fall 2025 colorways are now available via Miu Miu’s official website.

New Balance 990v6 Comes In A Military Inspired Colorway

The New Balance 990v6 “Dark Camo” continues the model’s premium DNA with a military inspired color scheme for Fall 2025.

Introduced in 2022, the 990v6 has quickly become a modern classic. A descendant of the legendary 990 silhouette that originally released in 1982.

The upper is comprised of olive mesh, with brown suede and earthy leather overlays. Red accents on the tongue, collar and “N” logo add understated depth. Lifestyle and performance meet in the dual tone midsole with a balance of comfort and cushioning. The 990v6 is finished with a durable black outsole.

New Balance will release the 990v6 “Dark Camo” Fall 2025 via NewBalance.com and select retailers for $200.

Expect to see this one near the top of the list for fans of previous rugged New Balance releases.

adidas Stan Smith Freizeit Reinvents Itself As A Dress Shoe

Moving from the courts to the boardroom, the adidas Stan Smith Freizeit is anything but casual. This take on the tennis classic reimagines the silhouette to look more like a contemporary dress shoe.

Made with high-quality black leather, the shining upper sports clean details and no blaring branding. Perforated Three Stripes mimic a subtle stitching effect, while tonal laces complete the look. The high gloss sheen will instantly class it up from the average sneaker.

Flip the shoe over and you’ll see adidas once again went big on the outsole, this time with a lugged rubber sole. Though rugged, it’s executed in a muted way. This gives the Freizeit a lot of versatility and could work for a dinner, office environment, or even with some tailoring. A supple leather lining provides that comfort not typically associated with dress shoes.

The adidas Stan Smith Freizeit drops September 15, 2025 on adidas.com and select retailers for $150.

adidas Samba “Snakeskin Pant” Adds Extension

The adidas Samba “Snakeskin Pant” is a classic indoor soccer silhouette like none you’ve ever seen. The original Samba was a staple of futsal courts since its release in the 1950s. It only became an urban classic later. The Fall 2025 version continues that long history but with high-fashion twists.

The nylon snakeskin upper is a glossy navy that flashes when you walk. Dark olive Three Stripes and toned-down branding add understated contrast. Meanwhile, a deep gum outsole keeps things more grounded and Samba traditional. But make no mistake, this is no ordinary Samba. It’s got that balance of familiar heritage and avant-garde style that sneakerheads love.

Accents like metallic Trefoil, tone-on-tone laces, and pivot-point tread patterns tie the Samba to its adidas family tree. But the removable pant cuff is the showstopper. It takes the low-top to totally unexpected sock-boot territory.

Expect the adidas Samba “Snakeskin Pant” to launch Fall 2025 online at adidas.com and other select retailers. Be sure to drop in early to grab a pair.

Ronnie Fieg Previews Kith x ASICS Gel-Lyte III “Blue/White” 2025 Collab

Ronnie Fieg’s collection with ASICS has become one of the most storied chapters in contemporary sneakers. He has collaborated on over 100 unique sneakers with the Japanese lifestyle brand over the last 15 years. His newest drop pays homage to the silhouette that started it all: the ASICS GEL-Lyte III. Fieg made his first debut with the classic split-tongue silhouette in 2006 as the first sneaker he collaborated with ASICS on. Fieg comes back around to the silhouette again, bringing heritage into the mix, along with a number of new details to create a fresh take on the silhouette.

Previewed via Instagram, the sneaker features overlapping blue suede panels layered over tumbled white leather, with stitching mimicking the look of quilting. The split tongue on the sneaker bears a small FIEG logo written in ASICS font. A mesh heel wrap and off-white midsole further add to the vintage aesthetic of the sneaker. Flat cream laces and rope-style blue laces will be provided with the shoe, so that wearers can customize their look whether they’re feeling lifestyle or ready to hit the trails. Those are the kind of thoughtful details that longtime fans of the brand recognize and value.

For Fieg, the GEL-Lyte III is a particularly special silhouette for a number of reasons. It was the silhouette that he first collaborated on with ASICS back in 2006, when he designed the “252 Pack” as part of his work at David Z. Those initial sneakers with ASICS set the course for Fieg’s career. Releases like the 2011 “Salmon Toe” and the “Leatherback” not only cemented Fieg’s reputation in the world of sneakers but also established Kith as an essential player in sneaker culture. This newest release not only continues that legacy, but taps into nostalgia while feeling sleekly refined.

While a release date have not been confirmed, from Fieg’s sneaker teasers, the Kith x ASICS GEL-Lyte III “Blue White” is expected to release later this year through Kith’s online and in-store.

GEL-Lyte III collectors and those invested in Kith’s work with ASICS will want to be on the lookout—this release has significance for sneaker storytelling as well as sneakerhead culture.
