adidas Reveals The Fear Of God Athletics Basketball II “Ash Silver”

The collaboration between Fear of God and adidas continues to grow with the debut of the adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball “Ash Silver”. The fourth iteration of the silhouette merges technical performance advancements and Jerry Lorenzo’s trademark minimalism.

Showcasing one of the most successful AAU teams in basketball history, Compton Magic, the Fear of God Athletics II Basketball “Ash Silver” campaign lands with video and photography captured at The Magic Lab and at the Earn Your Stripes Tournament. Founded by Etop Udo-Ema and now coached by Justin Williams, Magic Magic had a chance to debut the custom Ash Silver uniforms worn in tandem with the new sneakers. An intergenerational crew wore the looks while on the court and off, furthering the collaborative mission of the project to continue to inspire and uplift future athletes.

Designed with performance and luxury in mind, the II Basketball leans into Fear of God’s duality in sport. It features a tight inner bootie, ventilation with mono-filament fabrics, a stretchy, ultralight Lightstrike midsole and a TPU shank to add to the energy return, while a solid outsole with multi-directional traction was made for the hardwood. Fear of God’s Ash Silver suede upper provides a polished finish while remaining connected to the contemporary label’s architectural aesthetic. Subtle compared to previous colorways, this take on the II Basketball sneaker also feels more versatile than ever, appearing just as suited for the street as it does for the court.

“It’s been a dream come true working with Jerry Lorenzo and Fear of God Athletics,” Etop Udo-Ema said of the project. “We are so grateful to adidas for bringing this dream collaboration to life. This is one for the books and the beginning of something so big.”

A powerful endorsement from one of the faces of the sport in Compton Magic, Etop’s words are just one of many testaments to the cultural relevance of the adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball, beyond its technical and performance focus.

Release Date & Where To Buy

The adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball “Ash Silver” will release Friday, September 17, 2025, at 10 AM PST (1 PM EST) for $180 via an exclusive drop on fearofgod.com.

Nike Basketball Immortalized Pack Celebrates Team USA’s Olympic Gold

Team USA Basketball had one of its most successful runs ever in Paris at the Olympics just over a year ago. The event also featured debut drops for many Nike athletes that made the City of Lights a sneakerhead paradise as well.

In celebration of their impressive performances, Nike has announced the Immortalized Pack, an extremely limited collection which will only be sold at Foot Locker. As a “bundle,” each configuration will be limited to just 400 pairs making the entire release a total of 1,200 pairs worldwide. The LeBron 22 Pack is $510, the KD Pack is $360, and the Book 1 Pack is $310.

Nike LeBron 22 Immortalized

LeBron James will have the Nike LeBron 22 “Immortalized” available in two colorways. The blue one will be reminiscent of his warmup gear while the gold model takes inspiration from his moment at the buzzer during game five. The LeBron 22 features metallic finishes on the upper to capture James’ MVP performance throughout Team USA’s historic run.

Nike KD 18/KD 4 Immortalized

Kevin Durant’s package is a fusion of past and present. He and Nike are uniting the KD 18 with a retro release of the KD 4, the sneaker he wore in during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The four paint splashes finish the collection off in the colors of the American flag and pays homage to Durant’s continued legacy as an international gold medalist.

Nike Book 1 Immortalized

Nike will also be making a nod to Booker’s Olympic experience in the design of his first signature, the Nike Book 1 “Immortalized.” This release commemorates his winning his second gold medal at the Games in Paris this past summer. As Booker loves to share his stories outside of the game as well, this drop will have a special patch that harkens back to the camcorder that was seen attached to his laces throughout Paris.

Nike Air Max 90 “Fir Croc” Takes A Reptilian Twist

This Nike Air Max 90 features a reptilian take on a timeless silhouette.

The upper is primarily constructed from sleek white leather and neutral grey mudguards. A green tonal overlay is added to the midfoot, heel and midsole wedge and detailed with crocodile embossed details.

Dark black Swooshes and heel logos provide contrast, while a white midsole with a visible Air unit maintains a connection to the classic AM90 DNA. A fir green outsole ties everything together and allows the colorway to make a statement, without being too over the top.

Similar to the previous Black Croc version, this model continues Nikes reptilian run in the Air Max 90 collection. The continuity will be welcomed by collectors who value subtle refreshes to classic models.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Fir Croc” will be available in Fall 2025 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Max Plus “Black/Metallic Silver” Comes With A Charm of Itself

The Nike Air Max Plus “Black/Metallic Silver” is a street-ready reissue of a cult classic, dropping Fall 2025.

The upper is black mesh and black TPU overlays, and a layered construction that emphasizes the flame silhouette. Accents of Metallic Silver add a muted contrast detail to the TPU cage and Swoosh.

The hump of the Air Max Plus midsole is back, complete with visible Tuned Air units. This design touch will have diehard sneakerheads happy to see their favorite classic’s signature cushioning still rides front and center, but updated.

And for a collectible extra, the lace chain doubles as a TN badge and tiny Air Max Plus pendant. This little nod to the sneaker’s heritage roots will no doubt make each pair that much more of a covetable piece of foot jewelry.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Black/Metallic Silver” is set to drop in Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers.

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid “NYC” Gets A Seasonal Flax Makeover

For Fall 2025, Nike brings back the Air Force 1 Mid “NYC” in a seasonal shade.

Drawing from work boots and New York streetwear, this “Wheat” AF1 offers familiar vibes that fans expect to see during the colder months.

Crafted with a smooth nubuck upper in Flax, the sneaker offers a rugged touch while staying true to the AF1 name. Gum midsoles and outsoles bring durability and a boot-like edge that sneakerheads still appreciate today. Embroidered NYC branding and an Orange Swoosh make for a sharp take on the city that helped popularize the Air Force 1 silhouette.

Elsewhere, there’s a mini Black Swoosh on the toe box, tonal stitching, and the ankle strap which differentiates the Mid cut. That mix of ruggedness and everyday style is what makes this drop stand out.

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid “NYC” will releases Fall 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com.

Nike Pegasus Premium “Smoke Grey/Volt” Drops Fall 2025

This pair pushes the Nike Pegasus line into new territory with a bold update arriving Fall 2025.

A mainstay in Nike’s arsenal for decades, Pegasus Premium has been synonymous with being a daily trainer that exudes both performance and street appeal. Continuing this storied lineage, the line has arrived with minimal construction and striking details.

The upper features a breathable Smoke Grey mesh overlayed with darker materials. Bright, reflective details coupled with Volt pops infuse a dose of energy. A glossy 3D Swoosh definition on the side profile adds visual sharpness, while smaller branding details and Volt accents on the tongue and toe box are a subtle sneakerhead touch.

A full-length Zoom Air unit is housed in the midsole, cradling the foot and providing responsive cushioning on every step. The black sole keeps it more grounded, while the “AIR ZOOM” branding pops in Volt across the outsole.

Retailing at $215, the Nike Pegasus Premium “Smoke Grey/Volt” will launch Fall 2025 on Nike.com and at select retailers.

Nike Calm Elevation Slide Comes With Fur Lining

The Nike Calm Elevation Slide “Light British Tan” is an elevated take on the relaxed shoe.

Inspired by heritage hues, Nike has finished this slide in a tan that hits the fall moment just right. That sole does double-duty to offer a subtle fashion edge to an otherwise standard cozy silhouette.

Matching leather strap wraps across the forefoot and plush fur lining the interior and footbed. The blend of materials gives sneakerheads a version that nods to the appeal of UGG®-style kicks and other casual comfort shoes.

The shade itself is strategic. Light tan is an obvious match for fall wardrobes and shows off the slide’s warm lining. It’s the small details that comfort-centric buyers will appreciate.

Anwar Carrots x K-Swiss Racquet Club Drop 2 is set to launch officially this September. The capsule series continues to mix K-Swiss’ tennis-focused legacy, with elements of LA and Carrots’ design approach.

Justin Bieber Teases New SKYLRK Sneakers

SKYLRK is wasting no time making noise, as the Bieber-backed label teases its first sneaker just weeks after debuting its Beach Slide.

While this may feel new, the design isn’t entirely unseen. A prototype surfaced in April, showing a breathable mesh upper with bold structural overlays. Now, updated images highlight a slim TPU cage, sectioned midsole, and even cuffless SKYLRK socks designed to complement the look. Two clean colorways—blue on white and pink on white—have already been previewed.

Up to now, SKYLRK has leaned into comfort-first silhouettes, focusing mainly on slides. This sneaker signals a bigger push into the performance-lifestyle crossover space. It’s also worth noting that lead designer Finn Rush-Taylor brings strong pedigree, having worked with adidas, Crocs, and PUMA. That experience gives the project a layer of credibility sneaker startups rarely achieve early on.

The sneaker feels like a smart next move. Expanding beyond slides allows SKYLRK to compete in a more crowded but far more lucrative category. Given the timing and past rollouts, fans might see these sneakers on shelves before the year ends.

With SKYLRK’s celebrity backing, established design leadership, and growing buzz, this debut sneaker could mark the start of something much bigger for the brand.

Nike Sues Don C and RSVP Gallery For $190K

Nike has filed a lawsuit against RSVP Gallery, the Chicago boutique co-founded by Don C and Virgil Abloh, over unpaid invoices totaling nearly $200,000.

Nike is asking for $190,191.95 in outstanding payments related to merchandise supplied to RSVP from September 2023 to March 2024 in the complaint, filed in the Northern District of Illinois. Don Crawley Jr., a.k.a Don C is named in the filing as a guarantor of the store’s debts. Nike alleges that by not honoring the outstanding balances, RSVP violated the agreement it signed with the company.

The list of invoices in question features products shipped by Nike that RSVP did not pay for. At the time of writing, neither Nike nor Don C has issued a comment on the lawsuit. For sneakerheads, the case is an unexpected development, as Don C has a long history with Nike and Jordan Brand, both with his Just Don label and various collaborations over the years.

The case is not an isolated one. In fact, less than a month prior to this, Nike also filed a lawsuit for over $126,000 against Edison Chen’s Juice Los Angeles, though it was later withdrawn. Taken together, these cases show Nike is getting serious about going after clients for outstanding payments, even if they are well-known boutiques or industry veterans.

RSVP Gallery is an institution of Chicago’s sneaker scene, acting as a cultural epicenter for music, art, and fashion since it opened in 2009. The lawsuit tarnishes some of the shine of what is widely considered one of the most influential stores in the city’s history. While the case could be settled before a judgment, Nike is sending a clear signal that it will be coming down harder on businesses with unpaid bills in the future, no matter their names.

Nike Vomero Premium “Sail/Coconut Milk” Comes With “Total Orange” Air Zoom Units

Nike’s Vomero Premium is back and it’s one you’ll want to check out. Arriving in a new “Sail/Coconut Milk” colorway, the sneaker combines muted neutrals with punchy performance accents.

The engineered mesh upper comes in coconut milk and sail, with a crisp black Swoosh and pops of orange on the tongue. The “AIR” and “MAX” logos are embossed into the side panels for a more low-key look that will be appealing to athletes who aren’t into a ton of branding.

On the performance side, this Vomero Premium does not disappoint. The silhouette rides on a 55mm stack height and features a plush cushioning of ZoomX foam and visible Air Zoom units. Bright orange pops around the midsole, providing contrast and some personality to an otherwise neutral look. It’s that combination of clean minimalism and tech power that makes this sneaker noteworthy.

The Nike Vomero Premium “Sail/Coconut Milk” will be available in Fall 2025 for $230 USD. Shoe will release in pairs at Nike.com and selected retailers.

Air Afrique and Nike Create The New Air Max RK61

Nike’s Air Max RK61 fuses the brand’s Air Max technology with traditional African moccasins for a colorful hybrid.

The upper features three separate leather components—a mudguard, a robust heel tab, and a shrouded midfoot that wraps over conventional laces. Air Afrique’s jacquard pattern appears inside, while zipper pulls resemble the original airline logo.

Below, Nike has designed an entirely new Air Max sole unit in the shape of a dress shoe, with welting and brushed texture. Bright green Air units in the heel mimic jet engines in reference to the airline’s past, while Morse code for “Air Afrique” provides an additional layer of storytelling across the outsole.

The name “RK61” is also a nod to the airline’s flight code “RK” and the company’s founding year in 1961. This new sneaker will be available in Black and Coconut Milk.

The Air Afrique x Nike Air Max RK61 will launch on October 9, 2025, at $210. The release will be available at Nike.com and select retailers.

Stone Island and New Balance Team Up For Three Monochrome 574s

Stone Island is back in business with New Balance and it’s turning the original 574 through the Ghost design program.

The Fall 2025 drop comes in three colorways — Dark Brown, Dark Grey and Navy Blue. They are in keeping with the sub-label’s trademark tonal styling.

Ghost was first launched in 2011 and was all about “extreme camouflage.” That theme is at the heart of this collection, too. Premium suede has been used on both the upper and the midsole. It brings a smooth, homogeneous look that captures the pared-back aesthetic of Stone Island and the enduring style of the 574 silhouette.

The collection also includes a Ghost line of apparel, making it simple for fans to complete a full look. The muted colorways seem at home in a variety of outfits. They bring a polished look to casual attire.

The Stone Island x New Balance 574 Ghost Collection drops Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025. Pairs will launch through stoneisland.com.

Who says loafers can’t shine like disco balls? The New Balance 1906 Loafer “Metallic Pink” proves otherwise.

This Summer 2025 release brings bold energy with shiny pink leather that’s glossier than your favorite lip gloss. Supporting players include mauve straps, salmon mesh, and beige underlays—because even loud sneakers need a soft-spoken crew.

The loafer silhouette nods to street-ready cool but throws in performance tech to keep feet happy. No need to sacrifice comfort for flair—these are built for both.

Whether you’re heading to brunch or just want to flex at the grocery store, this loafer lets you do it in style.
