Nike Astrograbber “Fir/Phantom” Releases August 26th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Originally released in 1974, the Nike Astrograbber was purpose-built to perform on America’s nascent artificial turf football fields. Arriving only a year after the Waffle Trainer, the silhouette came with an innovative, studded outsole for maximum traction and maneuverability. Today, Nike is resurfacing the vintage silhouette with an updated interpretation that straddles its sporty lineage and current streetwear allure.

In 2025, the all-leather silhouette is available in a striking combination of Fir green and Phantom tones. Sail accents help add contrast, while a tinted Fir outsole adds a premium touch. Additional laces are included with the pair, completing the detail-oriented retro treatment from Nike. Though once a gridiron exclusive, the Astrograbber’s sleek, streamlined design should easily transition into a contemporary lifestyle staple.

The Nike Astrograbber “Fir/Phantom” will launch August 26th on SNKRS and select retail partners for $135.

Sneakerheads and vintage collectors alike will certainly take notice of the thoughtful update.

Nike AlphaFly 3 “Eliud Kipchoge” Honors The No Human Is Limited Legacy

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike’s next “Eliud Kipchoge” capsule, the Nike AlphaFly 3, will be inspired by his lifelong mantra, “No Human is Limited.” The title is also Kipchoge’s upcoming autobiography and a call-to-action for athletes to push past limits, both perceived and actual.

This energy comes through in the shoe, which sports a lightweight synthetic upper. Bold neon green Swooshes and a vibrant array of color pop on this background. A gradient midsole transitions through pink, orange, and purple, reflecting Kipchoge’s fearless mentality. No Human is Limited is even graffitied across the midsole tongue.

For additional messaging, a custom drawstring bag is included in the pack. Featuring hand-drawn Swooshes in a variety of bright hues, it is a reflection of the shoe itself. Both items serve as a great reminder of Kipchoge’s contributions to modern distance running.

The Nike AlphaFly 3 “Eliud Kipchoge” will drop October 30, 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $295.

Fall 2025 will see the release of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Diffused Blue”. This variant elevates the original silhouette with a contemporary update without deviating from the AF1’s timelessness.

Smooth white leather underlays are matched with soft blue overlays to enhance the clean construction. Dark Team Red details on the Swoosh and heel break up the overall tone of the shoe, while also adding collegiate-inspired flair.

The AF1 has always had a culture-first feel to it, from its inception on the basketball court to being a streetwear mainstay. This release is no different, with the sneaker proving to be just as useful a pick for everyday looks as well as seasonal fits.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Diffused Blue” will release Fall 2025 for $120 USD on Nike.com and at selected retailers.

New Balance 2000 Brings Cool Ice Vibes

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Sporting an icy finish, the New Balance 2000 “Blue Ice/Grey” is a collaboration of early millennium running and millennial-age freshness.

Primarily consisting of ice blue mesh and synthetic materials in the upper, the look is contrasted by bold white accents. A splash of classic grey accents on the midfoot “N” logo, tab on the tongue, and ABZORB SBS cushioning pods complete the overall aesthetic with a timeless New Balance heritage.

Connecting to an archive of frosty hues, this fresh iteration of the 2000 once again checkmates on culture since its predecessors – the 990, 2002R and others – so did. The “Blue Ice/Grey” highlights a sculpted midsole with exposed cushioning technologies and a dual-tone outsole that plays on grey and black. New Balance’s longtime original runner gets an update that cements its early millennium-to-now lifespan.

The New Balance 2000 “Blue Ice/Grey” launches Fall 2025 via NewBalance.com and select retailers for $170.

Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy” Releases September 5th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Chris Brickley has worked with everyone from All-Stars to rising rookies. Now the trainer steps into sneakers with PUMA. His own pair: the All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy.”

This one leans heavy on New York ties. Cream leather and rough suede nod back to classics like the Clyde and Suede. A stitched “1948” patch marks PUMA’s founding year. The laces? Built like work boots—a clear wink at Timberland and the city that made them iconic.

The storytelling doesn’t stop there. The insoles look like a deli menu, a callback to Brickley’s grind before he became basketball’s go-to trainer. The box carries the Empire State Building skyline he sees daily. On the tongue sit his mottos—“Keep Going” and “Keep Growing.” His signature runs along the heel. No mistaking whose shoe this is.

Performance hasn’t been forgotten. PUMA dropped in NITRO™ SQD cushioning, tuned for today’s game. Trainers, pros, and anyone who runs full court will feel it right away. Clean look, solid build, and plenty of meaning baked in.

The Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy” drops September 5, 2025, for $140 on PUMA.com and select retailers.

UPDATE 8/20/25: The Nike Total 90 “Pink Foam” will release September 3rd via SNKRS.

Original Story 5/23/25:
Nike’s bringing the sauce and the sugar back this summer with the Nike Total 90 III “Pink Foam”. If you ever wanted your kicks to look like candy and play like a legend, these are it.

This retro soccer-inspired sneaker returns with a glossy pink upper that screams bubblegum and nostalgia in one breath. The iconic “90” branding on the side is like a shoutout to the early 2000s, minus the MySpace drama.

The gum brown sole gives it that old-school indoor footy vibe. But don’t get it twisted — these aren’t just for kicking balls around. They’re ready for streets, selfies, and sneaker shelves. A black Swoosh and crisp white midsole balance out the pink with some serious flair.

Originally from the Total 90 family, these sneakers are reborn for lifestyle wear but still show off their athletic roots. From couch to court (or café), this sneaker delivers retro charm with modern attitude.

The Nike Total 90 III “Pink Foam” drops September 3, 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers for $115.

Whether you’re flexing on the pitch or the ‘gram, this pair keeps your style sharp and your throwback game strong.

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

By
Mario Briguglio
-

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.

Kith has just revealed its Fall 2025 collection and it’s a major season thanks to the launch of the first-ever Kith Classics x adidas Running capsule.

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.

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.

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

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. Heel cushioning for both is in the corresponding color of each style.

Air Jordan 2/3 Surfaces in “Knicks” Colorway

By
Mario Briguglio
-

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

By
Mario Briguglio
-

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.
