Nike Mind 001 “Neo Pink” and “Light Orewood Brown” Releases Spring 2027

The Nike Mind 001 will start 2027 with two new women’s colorways, “Neo Pink” and “Light Orewood Brown.” Both are scheduled for a January 1 release, bringing more color options to the recovery-focused slip-on.

The “Neo Pink” version is covered entirely in bright pink, from the molded upper down to the rounded pods underneath. “Light Orewood Brown” has a cream-colored upper instead, with bright pink Swooshes on the sides and matching pods along the outsole. It’s a more neutral option compared to the all-pink pair, though both use the same design.

The Mind 001 stands apart from traditional recovery slides with its closed-toe shape and laceless construction. Most of the design is fairly simple, with a smooth, molded upper and minimal detailing. Underneath is where things get interesting. The outsole features a series of oversized rounded pods designed to increase sensory feedback between the foot and the ground. Those pods also account for much of the shoe’s unusual shape.

Nothing about the construction changes with these two colorways. The molded upper, exaggerated outsole, and underfoot pod setup all carry over from the original design.

The Nike Mind 001 “Neo Pink” and “Light Orewood Brown” will release on January 1, 2027, in women’s sizing, with both pairs priced at $95 each.

Burna Boy x On Cloud Pack Releases October 22nd

Burna Boy’s first collection with On Running is set for October 22. The Nigerian artist has three sneakers coming out with the Swiss brand, including the Cloudtilt Remix, Roger Clubhouse, and Cloudmonster. There’s a mix of everyday and running shoes in the collection, priced from $150 to $180.

The Cloudtilt Remix gets the darkest look of the three, featuring an “Ox Brown/Tinder” colorway. Brown covers nearly the entire shoe, including the midsole, giving it a faded, scorched appearance. The walking and lifestyle model keeps its familiar shape and comes priced at $170.

For the Roger Clubhouse, Burna Boy went with an all-white design that looks much closer to a traditional tennis sneaker. The biggest difference is the upper, which replaces mesh with leather. Debossed On logos, metal eyelets, and visible stitching around the heel add a few more details without changing much of the original design. Retail is set at $150.

The Cloudmonster is the only running-focused model in the collection and will arrive in a “Sienna” colorway. Photos of the shoe have yet to surface, though its $180 price has already been confirmed.

The Burna Boy x On Running Collection will be available October 22, 2026, through On Running and select retailers, including Foot Locker.

Nike Rejuven8 WNTR Gets a Suede Makeover for Winter 2026

Nike has reworked the Rejuven8 for colder weather, giving the Nike Rejuven8 WNTR a suede upper in place of the original model’s open synthetic cage. The new upper gives it more coverage for colder weather, moving away from the breathable construction that made the Rejuven8 recognizable in the first place.

Most of the changes are on the outside, where suede panels are joined by a sturdier lacing system. A rough-textured welt runs along the area where the upper meets the midsole, adding to the shoe’s boot-like appearance. Nike kept the removable inner bootie from the original model, so wearers can still take it out when needed.

Earlier this year, Nike introduced a jelly sandal version of the Rejuven8 that made even more use of its open design. The WNTR takes a different approach, covering areas that were previously exposed and using materials more commonly found on winter footwear. The basic shape remains familiar, even with the changes to the upper.

Two colorways of the Nike Rejuven8 WNTR were shown during the latest SNKRS Verified preview. Both should be out before the end of 2026.

Lil Yachty x Nike Air Force 1 Mid Raffle Opens October 16th

UPDATE 10/15/26: Lil Yachty and Nike have shared a new video confirming their Air Force 1 Mid collaboration. The raffle starts October 16th at 7 AM PST on yachty.shop.

Original Story 10/4/26:
Lil Yachty showed up to ComplexCon 2026 with two new Concrete Boys x Nike Air Force 1 Mid colorways, and both were made in very limited numbers.

The yellow and black pair was sold through Yachty’s Pawn Shop booth at the event, with only 1,000 pairs produced for ComplexCon attendees. A second version uses pink and black, but that pair is even harder to come by. Only two were made, both for Yachty himself.

Both colorways use croc-embossed material across the upper with black piping outlining the panels. Concrete Boys branding appears on the heel, while “Just Us” is added to the tongue label.

The Air Force 1 Mid gives Yachty another Nike project after several collaborations built around the Air Force 1 Low.

For now, the yellow pair remains limited to the 1,000 pairs sold at ComplexCon, while the pink version is essentially a personal pair for Yachty. A wider release has yet to be announced.

SZA x Vans Collection Includes Two Sneakers and Apparel

About a year after being named Vans’ first Artistic Director, SZA has her first collection with the brand ready to go. Two footwear styles are part of the release, along with clothing that reflects her longtime interest in fishing and the outdoors.

Before making music her career, SZA was studying marine biology at Delaware State University. Her interest in the outdoors also led to Ctrl Fishing Co., a streetwear project that promoted sustainability and cutting down on plastic waste. The fish prints on her new Vans Authentic are a nod to that side of her life.

The SZA x Vans Authentic has colorful fish prints across the upper, distressed midsoles, and a collapsible heel that can be folded down for easier wear. The SZA x Vans Knu Skool Mule is a backless version of the skate shoe, dressed in black and white with small insect graphics printed on the insoles.

Clothing makes up a good portion of the collection as well. There are snap shorts, a reversible fishing vest with several pockets, and other casual pieces based on outdoor gear.

The SZA x Vans collection releases October 22, 2026, at Vans and select retailers. The women’s Authentic is priced at $110, and the women’s Knu Skool Mule will retail for $115.

adidas AE 3 “Dr. Doom” Is Ready for Doomsday

The “Sneaker of the Year” winner at Anthony Edwards’ Believe That Awards was his own adidas AE 3 “Dr. Doom.” The second annual show was posted to YouTube on October 16th, where Edwards showed more of the Marvel-themed shoe that had previously appeared in just one photo. It beat out the AE Mule, AE Superstar, Believe That 1, and AE 2 Hellstar for the award.

The Dr. Doom colors are easy to spot on this AE 3. Green covers much of the shoe, with silver running across the sides and around the toe and heel. Some of the silver panels have a reflective finish, while the material through the middle has a brushed metal texture similar to the character’s armor. The usual AE logo is missing from the tongue, replaced by Dr. Doom’s face. A little gold also appears on the heel tab.

Justin Bieber received the “White Boy of the Year” award at the same event. Meanwhile, Avengers: Doomsday is set to open in theaters December 18, 2026, with adidas already working on other Marvel-themed sneakers. There hasn’t been any confirmation that this AE 3 is tied to the film’s release schedule.

There’s still no announced release date for the adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Dr. Doom,” also referred to as “Doomsday.” See the latest images below.

Carhartt WIP x Nike Air Max Goadome Low Pack Releases Holiday 2026

The Carhartt WIP x Nike Air Max Goadome Low has a few changes from the usual Goadome design, including an open section along the sides with stitching similar to the Nike Tailwind 4. Rope laces run through metal D-rings, and there’s a small metal Swoosh on the side panel. A leather patch sits on the tongue, with a black Carhartt label attached near the outer side of the shoe.

Three colorways are reportedly part of the collection, according to Sneaker Market Romania. Light British Tan and Black have already surfaced, while the third, Twilight Marsh, hasn’t been seen yet. The tan and other earth-toned versions use suede, while the black pair comes in leather. The Goadome has always had more of a boot-like look than a traditional running shoe, so the workwear connection with Carhartt makes sense.

This is also Carhartt WIP’s first Nike collaboration since 2018. The project comes as Nike brings more attention back to the Air Max Goadome Low, with several other versions recently shown during Paris Fashion Week. Those previews included croc-textured designs, the return of the Foamdome, and additional colorways planned for the model.

The Carhartt WIP x Nike Air Max Goadome Low Pack releases Holiday 2026 through Nike, Carhartt, and select retailers. An earlier release is expected at Australia’s Surplus 2026 event, held October 16-18. All three colorways will be available in unisex sizing, priced at $190 each.

Nocturnal x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Releases October 27th

Philadelphia’s Nocturnal skate shop has teamed up with Nike SB on a new Air Force 1 Low, with grey suede covering much of the shoe and green used throughout the smaller details. It’s one of several skate shop collaborations included in Nike SB’s “City Pack.”

Most of the upper is covered in grey suede, including the toe, side panels, and overlays. Green is used for the Swooshes, laces, and tongue labels, along with the leather heel tabs. A black midsole separates the upper from the green rubber outsole. The color blocking stays pretty straightforward, without too much going on outside of the two main shades.

Around the heel, there’s Nocturnal embroidery stitched into the grey suede. The back tabs have Nike SB Air branding, while a small metal “SB-1” piece sits at the bottom of the laces. These are some of the details that make this version different from the usual Air Force 1.

Nike SB is handling this release a little differently, with two versions of the same shoe planned. Nocturnal will have the pair with its name embroidered along the side near the heel, while the version sold through other retailers won’t have that branding. Outside of the missing logo, the shoes will look the same.

Amsterdam’s Ben-G is also part of the “City Pack,” with more skate shops expected to be involved. Each shop will have its own branded pair, while versions without the shop logos will be available through other skate shops.

Nocturnal x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low Release Date

The Nocturnal x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey/Court Green” releases October 17, 2026, at Nocturnal’s Philadelphia store with the shop’s branding on the side. The wider Nike SNKRS release follows October 27th without the Nocturnal logo. Both versions will retail for $120 in men’s sizing. Check out the official photos below.

Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” Releases October 31st

The Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” is one of the colorways Jordan Brand has lined up for Holiday 2026, although this one won’t be getting a worldwide release. The shoe is exclusive to Europe, with an olive green upper and darker shades used throughout the rest of the design.

Most of the upper comes dressed in Light Army, including the suede panels and signature wings along the sides. Black appears on the tongue branding, outsole, and parts of the midsole, while grey netting and matching eyelets add some contrast. The collar also has a lighter grey finish, keeping the overall look pretty simple.

Unlike some Air Jordan 4 releases that bring back older colorways or have ties to Michael Jordan’s playing days, the “Light Army” is a new addition to the lineup. Jordan Brand has been mixing more of these original colorways into its release schedule alongside the usual retros.

The Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” releases October 31, 2026, exclusively through European retailers for $220. Check out the retailer photos below.

Reebok LTD Premier Arena Introduces a New Design

The Reebok LTD Premier Arena takes the familiar Premier Road Ultra and changes quite a bit of its upper. The thick sole stays, but the panels are cut differently, especially around the toe and sides. Reebok has also changed how the laces sit, adding larger overlays that cover much of the tongue.

Evan Belforti, Reebok’s Principal Footwear Designer of Special Projects, shared an early look at the sneaker on social media. The “Purple Suede” colorway mixes deep purple overlays with olive green panels, yellow mesh, and bright blue suede around the heel. Reebok also changed the toe construction, removing part of the medial overlay. The extended panels around the laces nearly cover the tongue, leaving the pull closure system and long laces exposed. Underneath, the shoe retains the chunky DMX Ride tooling associated with the Premier Road Ultra.

This particular colorway was previously shown during a Reebok LTD seasonal preview, alongside a “Brushed Metal” version that has yet to be confirmed for release. Belforti has indicated that the Reebok LTD Premier Arena “Purple Suede” is scheduled for Fall/Winter 2027. An exact release date and retail price have not been announced.

New Balance Kawhi 5 Releases October 21st in Two Colorways

New Balance has two colorways of the Kawhi 5 dropping October 21st. It’s the fifth signature shoe for Kawhi Leonard, who’s been with the brand since 2018. This one looks nothing like the Kawhi 4, which had a much bulkier, old-school shape. New Balance has slimmed things down quite a bit, especially around the upper.

For the first two releases, New Balance went with sage green and navy. The green version features gold “N” logos, while the navy pair uses icy blue branding. Both share the same updated construction, including synthetic uppers and TPU detailing that brings to mind some of the brand’s older technical running shoes.

Leonard signed with New Balance in 2018 and has since built a signature line that has found an audience among basketball players. He’s also no longer the only NBA player with a signature shoe at the brand, as Tyrese Maxey has joined the lineup.

The New Balance Kawhi 5 releases October 21, 2026, for $160 through New Balance and select retailers.

adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Purple Iridescent” Arrives November 10th

The adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Purple Iridescent” is releasing in November, giving Anthony Edwards’ third signature basketball shoe another colorway built around its oversized side panels. Purple covers most of the upper, while the molded zigzag cage features an iridescent finish that shifts between silver, blue, and pink depending on how the light hits it. The colors also have a bit of a Minnesota Timberwolves connection, particularly with the purple and blue combination.

The purple textile upper comes with matching laces, a padded collar, and a white mesh tongue. Along the sides are the AE3’s oversized zigzag panels, which have an iridescent finish that looks silver, blue, or pink depending on the lighting. You can see darker mesh through the gaps, while the panels themselves stretch from the heel nearly to the toe. It’s the same low-top build used on other AE3 releases, with the molded sides giving the shoe much of its shape.

Edwards’ signature logo is printed in purple on the tongue, while white adidas branding appears on the molded heel piece. One detail that isn’t immediately noticeable is the reflective material near the toe, which lights up under flash photography. Underfoot, a purple rubber outsole features a herringbone traction pattern, along with a white section through the middle. The purple also carries onto the toe bumper and heel, keeping the color consistent across the upper and sole.

The adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Purple Iridescent” releases November 10, 2026, through adidas.com and select retailers for $130.

Nike Air Max 95 “Blue Tint” Comes With A Patent Gradient Finish

The Nike Air Max 95 “Blue Tint” arrives in November 2026 with a mix of off-white and blue spread across its signature layered upper. Off-white mesh covers the tongue and upper section, while the wavy side panels gradually fade from light grey into darker shades of blue. The glossy finish gives those layers a different look, especially around the bright blue patent leather toe cap. Matching blue accents also show up on the tongue, lacing system, and small Swoosh near the heel.

Most of the lower half is done in blue, including the midsole and visible Air cushioning in the forefoot and heel. The outsole has a semi-translucent finish, with Nike Air branding on the heels and blue insoles featuring Swoosh graphics inside.

The Nike Air Max 95 “Blue Tint” releases in November 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $200.

Evelynn World Gives the Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 a “Mom Shoe” Makeover

Evelynn Escobar is bringing the “Mom Shoe” to Saucony with her own version of the ProGrid Triumph 4. Better known as Evelynn World, Escobar founded Hike Clerb, an outdoor collective that helps bring more women of color into hiking and outdoor spaces. She first hinted at the collaboration in May with a sonogram-themed teaser, playing off the idea of giving the popular dad shoe trend a mom-focused alternative.

Her take on the Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 uses off-white mesh and leather overlays, with metallic silver covering parts of the toe, forefoot, and eyestays. Yellow accents sit alongside the silver, while red detailing appears around the collar, midfoot, and midsole. Green touches on the heel and laces, purple lining, and a pink outsole bring more color into the mix. Gold embroidered Saucony logos appear on the sides, with Evelynn World branding on the left heel and Saucony branding on the right, both framed by maroon leather.

The Evelynn World x Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 will first release October 17, 2026, at a pop-up event at Tommy’s Gift Shop. A wider launch is scheduled for October 23 through Saucony and select retailers, with unisex sizing available. The retail price has not been announced.

Nike Air Flight One OG “Black/White” Returns Fall 2027

Penny Hardaway’s Nike Air Flight One OG “Black/White” is finally getting another release in Fall 2027. Nike first put the shoe out in 1995, then brought it back in 2012 before leaving it alone for the next 15 years. It’s one of those older basketball models that hasn’t been retroed nearly as often as other Nike shoes from the same era, despite having a pretty interesting history involving Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan wearing Penny Hardaway's Nike Air Flight One Black/White

During the 1995 NBA Playoffs, Jordan actually stepped onto the court wearing Penny’s Air Flight One against the Orlando Magic. He had been fined for wearing the “Concord” Air Jordan 11, so he switched to the Nike model for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Jordan wearing another player’s sneakers was almost unheard of, especially with his own signature line already well established. Penny later spoke about the moment as a huge sign of respect coming from someone he looked up to.

As for the shoe itself, the 2027 version is expected to stick with the original black nubuck upper and white detailing. The striped tongue, small Swoosh near the toe, and oversized circular pods along the midsole are all part of the design. Penny’s number “1” also appears on the heel, keeping another detail from the original release. Those chunky pods are probably the easiest way to spot an Air Flight One, even among all the other basketball shoes Nike made during the ’90s.

Nike Air Flight One Black White 2027 Release Date

The Nike Air Flight One OG “Black/White” will release in Fall 2027 at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.

Nike Kobe 7 Protro “Invisibility Cloak” Returns Fall 2027

The Nike Kobe 7 “Invisibility Cloak” hasn’t been available since its original release in 2012, but that’s finally changing. Nike Basketball is bringing the shoe back in Fall 2027, marking the first time the Kobe 7 will receive the Protro treatment. The original pair became a favorite for its unusual color-changing upper, which shifts between purple and turquoise as the light hits it from different angles.

Nike is keeping the familiar Black, Court Purple, and Turquoise Blue colors for the 2027 version. The shoe features textured black leather, Metallic Silver Swooshes, and Infrared Kobe branding, with an icy outsole underneath. Most of the attention will probably go straight to the upper, though. Its iridescent finish gives the shoe that changing appearance people remember from the original release, and it’s also how the “Invisibility Cloak” nickname came about.
