Unheardof x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” Pack Releases March 28th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 3/23/26: Unheardof has officially announced release details for its adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” pack. The collection is inspired by founder Phillip Lipschutz’s childhood friend group, with Cupcake, Cheeseburger, and Steve-O each represented by their own colorway in green, yellow, and red. Every pair will be limited to 2,500 units. The full collection is scheduled to launch exclusively through Unheardof on March 28th, available in-store and online at unheardofbrand.com starting at 11:00 AM ET for $185 each. Enjoy the official and campaign photos below.

Original Story 3/11/26:
The Unheardof x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” Collection is expanding. What began as a single reveal has now grown into a three-colorway release, as founder Philip Lipschutz continues building the playful “Piggy Universe” tied to his Cincinnati-based boutique.

The project first surfaced during Paris Fashion Week, where Lipschutz previewed the green Piggy Runner 2.0 on the adidas Adistar Control 5. The debut established the direction of the sequel, combining expressive character storytelling with a performance running silhouette that has recently returned to fashion relevance.
The original Piggy Runner on the Adistar Cushion 3 drew attention for its bold pink palette and mascot-driven design. That reaction helped spark the follow-up, which now arrives with a more structured base while preserving the personality that defines the collaboration.

Three colorways make up the upcoming release. The green pair leads the pack with a mint-green mesh base, layered suede panels, and soft pink Three Stripes across the midfoot. The pig mascot returns on the tongue, while embroidered cartoon eyes appear on the heel, continuing the playful character theme introduced in the original project.

Two additional versions expand the concept. One arrives in a monochrome coral pink color scheme, covering the suede overlays, mesh upper, midsole, and laces in a single saturated tone. The other takes a lighter direction with a butter yellow upper paired with baby pink Three Stripes and pale yellow mesh paneling. Both pairs introduce colorful outsoles combining pink, yellow, mint, and blue accents, giving the sneakers a bright, candy-inspired finish.

Each colorway features its own pig character details on the tongue and insole, reinforcing the “Piggy Universe” storytelling that Lipschutz continues to develop through the collaboration. The sneakers also include alternate lace options, allowing wearers to customize the final look.

Beyond the playful design language, the project connects back to Cincinnati’s historic “Porkopolis” nickname, a reference that influenced the original Piggy Runner concept. The sequel builds on that identity while introducing a new model platform within adidas’ revived running lineup.

UPDATE 11/11/25: In-hand images of the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark” have surfaced, giving us the best look yet at this upcoming colorway. This pair is a noticeable shift from Travis Scott’s usual earthy tones, leaning instead into a bold black and bright “Green Spark” setup. The suede-and-mesh build, the forefoot strap, and that signature reverse Swoosh are all still here, but the contrast hits harder this time around. The Cactus Jack heel features the Cactus Jack heel branding popping in white, and even the outsole text “Jack” in a lighter green hue. The release is still currently set for Spring 2026, though we’ll continue to monitor for any updates. More updates soon.

Original Story 7/8/25:
The Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark” is making waves after debuting during Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals.

Worn courtside at TD Garden, this fresh colorway received a nicknamed the “Celtics” edition thanks to its bold green theme. Dressed in Green Spark, Vapor Green, and Black, this model delivers a unique twist to Scott’s growing Jordan lineup.

The sneaker features a black suede base with toe box perforations for airflow. Bright green overlays bring the Celtics vibe to life. A midfoot strap adds lockdown support, while traditional laces complete the performance build. Scott’s signature reverse Swoosh appears in a soft mint tone on the lateral side.

Branding is consistent with other Jumpman Jack colorways. The Cactus Jack face logo is placed on the heel, and the word “Jack” appears beneath the outsole rubber—revealed as the outsole wears away. A black midsole and green outsole finish the energetic look.

Awake NY x Gap Collection Reworks Classic ’90s Staples Through A New York Lens

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

New York style is heading back to familiar ground, this time with a sharper streetwear edge. The Awake NY x Gap Collection pulls from Gap’s iconic ’90s archive and filters it through Angelo Baque’s Queens-raised point of view, giving the brand’s classic family staples a more current feel without losing what made them resonate in the first place.

Across 27 pieces, the capsule taps into the era that helped define everyday American style. Heavyweight GapSweats fleece returns in bold colors, while logo staples, cargo pieces, plaid shorts, and a butter-yellow quarter-zip help shape the lineup. Printed denim with an all-over polka-dot pattern adds a louder twist, and the athletic jersey plus the limited Gap x Awake NY x ’47 Brand Mets hat push the drop deeper into New York territory.

That balance feels intentional. Rather than simply reproducing vintage pieces, the collaboration updates them through a label that has always been tied to culture, identity, and city storytelling. Baque’s connection to Gap makes the project feel personal, but the broader message stays rooted in community.

The campaign supports that idea with a cast of New York creatives, families, and neighborhood names who naturally reflect the spirit behind the release.

The Awake NY x Gap Collection releases March 27th at 12 PM ET on Gap.com, select Gap stores, and Awake NY’s flagship.

Palace x Evisu Spring 2026 Collection Celebrates 35 Years of Evisu

By
Mason Tiniuc

Another Palace and Evisu link-up is on the way, and this one has real weight behind it. Their fifth collaboration arrives for Spring 2026 with a 23-piece capsule that taps into Evisu’s deep roots in London style. It also lands as the Japanese denim label celebrates its 35th anniversary.

Drawing from Evisu’s archives, the collection doesn’t feel trapped by nostalgia. Denim leads with jackets, jeans, and shorts done up in light wash, indigo and a soft pink hue inspired by hanami. That color choice gives the range a seasonal lift while still keeping the brand’s heritage close.

Palace and Evisu also push beyond denim here. A co-branded cycling jersey and a zip-up bomber bring in a sportier edge, while crewnecks and graphic tees keep things easy to wear. The sakura-style Tri-Ferg branding on the back helps tie the whole Palace Evisu collaboration together without overdoing it.

The extras give the drop more personality. Denim caps round out the apparel side, while a Buddha snow globe nods to Evisu’s Godhead logo.

The Palace x Evisu Spring 2026 Collection releases March 27th through Palace, palace.evisu.com, and select Palace and Evisu stores.

Nike Air Max SNDR “Black Legacy” Limited To 365 Pairs

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is highlighting its Black Employee Network (BEN) with a special, ultra-limited Air Max Sunder that celebrates culture and legacy. Founded in 1997, BEN has grown into a strong community within the brand, focused on connection, representation, and impact.

This latest project draws inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance, translating that era’s creativity into a bold sneaker design. The pair features premium Purple Dynasty leather, pearl accents, and a color-shifting upper that gives it a distinct, elevated look. The storytelling is rooted in culture, with contributors involved in the project helping shape its direction and meaning.

Only 365 pairs were produced, each individually numbered, making it one of Nike’s more exclusive internal releases. Instead of a retail launch, the brand is gifting pairs directly to Black leaders, creatives, and voices in media. That approach reinforces the purpose behind the shoe, keeping it tied to community rather than commercialization.

While there are no plans for a public release, the BEN x Nike Air Max Sunder “Black Legacy” stands as another example of Nike using product to spotlight culture and honor influential voices beyond the traditional consumer space.

Billionaire Boys Club x New York Yankees Spring 2026 Collection

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

With baseball season right around the corner, timing also provides this collaboration a natural feel. Billionaire Boys Club and the New York Yankees return for Spring 2026, giving us another capsule that feels connected to the city yet stays clear of typical team gear clichés. The BAPO sub-label and MLB squad team up for clothing that merges sports culture with NYC streetwear.

This pack jumps out first with a Stadium Jacket that tones down the rest of the capsule. A Stadium Jacket leads the release, while a navy nylon windbreaker set, heavyweight graphic tees, heritage rugby jerseys, and New Era fitted caps build out the range. Instead of leaning too hard on obvious team merchandise cues, this collection plays more into BBC’s visual identity while still holding onto a strong New York presence.

That balance shows up clearly in the colors and textures. Navy and white stay at the center, but the burgundy-and-navy rugby adds a stronger twist, especially with “New York” scripted across the back in white. Sherpa-trimmed fitted caps also give the capsule a more seasonal feel, adding depth without taking away from its athletic base. This collaboration knows just enough to shake things up when it steps outside the box of typical activewear designs.

The Billionaire Boys Club x New York Yankees Spring 2026 Collection drops Friday, March 27th at 10 AM ET online at the BBC ICECREAM website, as well as at BBC’s US flagship shop, New Era, and at the Yankees Team Store located inside Yankee Stadium.

Supreme x Ghostface Collection Releases March 26th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A familiar horror icon is stepping into Supreme’s Spring 2026 lineup this week, bringing a tighter, more graphic-driven drop than some of the brand’s larger seasonal capsules. Rather than spread the idea across a massive range, Supreme keeps the concept controlled here, using Ghostface imagery on a handful of standout pieces that feel direct and easy to place within the label’s current run.

At the center of the release is the Supreme x Ghostface Collection, led by a GORE-TEX jacket in red and black. Both color options feature oversized Ghostface artwork across the back, while the rest of the shell stays stripped back and functional. That balance helps the visual hit harder without crowding the garment.

The same theme carries into the rest of the capsule. Mesh shorts place the graphic on one leg, while the beanie selection mixes clean logo styles with knit designs that work the mask into the build itself. A pendant shaped like the Ghostface mask and a full-face mask help push the drop beyond apparel without making it feel overloaded.

Most notable is just how curated the capsule feels. By allowing one photo to drive the narrative, Supreme gives this drop a cleaner identity than a wider, more diluted collection would have.

The Supreme x Ghostface Collection drops March 26, 2026 in-store and online via Supreme at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT.

Following the debut of the “Navy Halo” pair, Reebok and Angel Reese are quickly building momentum with the next Angel Reese 1 release, titled “Unapologetically Angel.” The new drop leans into Reese’s growing presence both on the court and in culture, delivering a louder and more expressive look compared to the previous colorway.

This version stands out with a vibrant tie-dye upper that blends soft pastel tones. Shades of pink, purple, blue, and aqua come together across the design, giving the shoe a light, spring-ready feel while still carrying a bold edge. The mix of colors reflects Reese’s versatility and confidence, tying directly into the theme behind the release.

Reese describes the sneaker as a direct extension of her personality, emphasizing confidence and individuality. The design is meant to empower wearers, encouraging them to embrace their identity and step forward with purpose every time they lace up.

FIRST LOOK: Nike Ja 3 “Animal Instinct”

By

The Nike Ja 3 continues to build momentum as one of Ja Morant’s strongest signature models yet. Designed to match his explosive, high-speed play style, the silhouette has already delivered a steady run of standout colorways. Now, a new “Animal Instinct” edition is set to join the lineup for Summer 2026.

This upcoming pair leans into a bold visual direction, featuring a bright red upper covered in black tiger stripe detailing. While the pattern echoes the model’s usual claw-inspired design, it introduces a more aggressive and layered look. Additional branding updates help separate this release, including “Instinct” replacing the usual “Twelve” heel text and stylized Nike lettering on the ZoomX cushioning that carries a dramatic, almost cinematic feel.

Metallic red Swooshes with an orange tint add contrast along the sides, while a blacked-out midsole keeps the overall design grounded. The mix of textures, colors, and graphics gives the shoe a louder identity compared to earlier versions, reinforcing the theme tied to Ja’s instinct-driven play.

Aaliyah Chavez Reveals Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mexico” PE

By
Mario Briguglio

Oklahoma standout Aaliyah Chavez continues to build her national profile during March Madness, helping push her team into the Sweet 16 with strong scoring and playmaking performances. Alongside her on-court impact, her growing connection to the Nike Kobe line is starting to take shape, signaling her emergence as a next-generation face tied to Kobe Bryant’s legacy.

Her latest player exclusive, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mexico,” reflects a personal story rooted in her Mexican-American heritage. The design pulls directly from the Mexican flag, blending red, white, and green across a gradient-heavy upper. Details like the collar, heel, and midsole shift between tones, while a gum outsole adds a classic finish that balances the bold colorwork.

The pair also highlights a deeper cultural connection, as Chavez’s background aligns naturally with Vanessa Bryant’s heritage, making the collaboration feel authentic rather than forced. It’s another step in what looks like a long-term relationship between Chavez and the Kobe signature line.

At this time, the Aaliyah Chavez x Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mexico” PE remains a player exclusive and is not expected to release publicly. Still, with Chavez continuing her tournament run, there’s a strong chance the pair will get more visibility on the national stage.

adidas 3D-Printed Basketball Shoe Debuts During March Madness

By
Mario Briguglio
-

adidas is continuing its push into the future of footwear, expanding its 3D-printing innovation beyond lifestyle models and into performance basketball. After building momentum with the Climacool, the brand has now introduced a fully 3D-printed basketball shoe designed specifically for on-court use.

The reveal comes alongside adidas’ new “R.A.P” platform—short for Radical Athlete Perception—which focuses on creating gear shaped directly by athlete movement and feedback. While the initiative will eventually extend into football, its first real product has already made an appearance on the hardwood, worn during NCAA Tournament play by Darryn Peterson.

Visually, the shoe blends familiar adidas Basketball DNA with new tech-driven elements. It features a layered inner and outer structure with a recognizable lacing system, similar to recent signature models. The standout detail is the 3D-printed upper, which transitions from a solid toe into a lattice-style build along the sides. This design aims to balance breathability, support, and structure, while also delivering a more customized feel.

Under the hood, the shoe is engineered for a precise fit, with targeted cushioning and stiffness based on how athletes actually move. adidas positions this as a major step toward performance footwear tailored at a deeper level than traditional manufacturing allows.

The 3D-printed basketball model is expected to release in the coming months, with a football version of the technology set to follow later this year.

Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” Now Available (March 2026)

UPDATE 3/23/26: The Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 2/25/26:
Energy around early-2000s runners keeps building, and Nike continues to tap into that wave with purpose. A global influence shapes this latest drop, as the Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” brings a familiar silhouette into a more expressive space without losing its performance roots.

A mix of Black and Metallic Pewter forms the base, giving the upper a clean but structured feel. Perforations across the black panels help with airflow, while the molded pewter sides add depth and shape. The design still carries that futuristic edge that defined the original Shox era.

Color does the heavy lifting here. A Canary Swoosh cuts through the neutral tones, while Light Photo Blue Shox columns underfoot add contrast and energy. The blue support plate ties it together, and the black outsole keeps everything grounded with durable traction.

Little details help ground the theme. Brazil makes an appearance on the tongue with the CBF crest as well as “Brasil” text that enhances the shoe without cluttering it. It appears purposeful and feels like another small step for Nike finding ways to better tie together sport and culture.

The Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” will drop March 23, 2026 for $155 through Nike.com and selected retailers.

Nike Air Max 95 “England” Now Available (March 2026)

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 3/23/26: The Nike Air Max 95 “England” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story3/11/26:
As the countdown to the next global tournament begins, Nike is once again leaning into football culture with a wave of country-inspired sneakers. Among them is a special edition of the Nike Air Max 95 celebrating England, a nation long tied to the silhouette’s legacy.

The Air Max 95 has held a unique place in British street culture for decades. Often called the “110” across the UK, the Sergio Lozano-designed model became a symbol of style and status, especially in cities like London and Liverpool. With that deep connection in mind, Nike chose the iconic runner as the canvas for an England-themed release timed around the World Cup.

Design-wise, the pair keeps things clean and straightforward. A mostly white upper covers the midsole and several of the signature layered side panels. Bright Speed Red accents highlight the lace loops, mini Swoosh, and the enlarged Air unit underfoot, adding contrast against the lighter base. Meanwhile, Metallic Silver details land on the spine, tongue cover, and one of the upper panels, bringing a subtle flash to the otherwise minimal palette.

The finishing touch appears on the tongue, where England’s Three Lions crest replaces standard branding to emphasize the national theme. The small but meaningful detail ties the sneaker directly to the country’s football identity.

This pair is part of a broader Nike Sportswear collection inspired by national teams ahead of the tournament. Other releases reportedly include themed versions of the Air Force 1, Air Max Plus, and additional styles representing countries such as the United States, France, and Mexico.

The Nike Air Max 95 “England” is scheduled to release on March 23, 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers, carrying a retail price of $190 USD.

This Nike Air Force 1 Low Celebrates Team USA

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 3/23/26: The “Team USA” Air Force 1 is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 3/9/26:
Red, white, and blue color schemes always seem to find their way back into Nike’s catalog. With international competition around the corner, the brand turns again to one of its most dependable silhouettes. The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Team USA” keeps the formula simple, using classic American tones on a shoe that rarely needs much adjustment.

The upper sticks with smooth White leather, a choice that immediately recalls the original DNA of the model. Clean stitching traces the familiar panel layout, while the perforated toe box keeps the look and ventilation exactly where longtime fans expect it. Nothing here feels overworked, which is part of the point.

A deeper shade steps in along the sides. Midnight Navy Swooshes stretch across both panels, finished with a slight shine that contrasts the softer white leather around them. Matching navy hits land on the woven tongue tag, quietly tying the upper together.

Red accents bring the theme into focus. Inside, the insoles carry University Red Nike Air branding, while the heel tabs introduce a stitched USA shield emblem in red and navy. It’s a small touch, but it immediately signals the inspiration behind the pair.

Underneath, the build stays true to tradition. A metallic AF1 lace dubrae sits across the laces, while the familiar white cupsole and circular traction pattern finish the design the way it always has.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Team USA” releases March 23, 2026 for $125 USD via Nike.com and select retailers.

Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low “Lower Merion Aces” Honors Mamba’s High School Legacy

By
Mario Briguglio
-

As March Madness approaches, Nike is revisiting an important chapter of Kobe Bryant’s story with a special Nike Dunk Low inspired by his days at Lower Merion High School. Although Bryant skipped college and entered the NBA straight from high school, his time with the Lower Merion Aces helped shape the mindset that later defined the Black Mamba legacy.

Set to release on March 23rd, the sneaker arrives as part of Nike and Kobe Brand’s broader Lower Merion collection. The lineup also includes the return of the Kobe 5 Protro “Aces” alongside two Air Force 1 colorways. However, this Dunk Low stands out by translating Kobe’s early basketball roots into a lifestyle silhouette.

The shoe features a mix of suede and satin materials across the upper, delivering a refined look that connects sport and storytelling. At the heel, Bryant’s Lower Merion jersey number “33” replaces standard branding, while his signature is stitched across the heel tab. The Kobe sheath logo also appears on the tongue, tying the Dunk Low directly to the Mamba identity.

Additional details deepen the tribute. Behind the tongue sits the phrase “Friends hang sometimes, banners hang forever,” a line that reflects Bryant’s relentless focus on winning. Inside the sneaker, a custom lining mimics the woven pattern of a basketball net, reinforcing the theme.

Nike Kobe Dunk Low “Lower Merion Aces” Release Date

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low “Lower Merion Aces” will launch through a SNKRS Reserve pre-order on March 23rd for $135 USD. Orders placed during the drop are expected to ship beginning July 25th.

Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “White/Hyper Crimson” Releases On Air Max Day

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Patta and Nike appear ready to continue their latest Air Max collaboration with another entry in the popular “Waves” series. After debuting the “Hyper Crimson” edition earlier this month, a second colorway of the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 has surfaced through official images, hinting that another release could arrive soon.

This upcoming version, known as the Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “White/Hyper Crimson”, uses the bold orange accent more selectively than the previous pair. Hyper Crimson appears on the Swoosh, outsole, and branding found on the tongue and heel. The signature wavy mudguard, which defines Patta’s take on the Air Max 1, arrives in white leather and helps separate the overlays from the rest of the upper.

The remaining upper combines Pure Platinum leather and mesh, creating a lighter, neutral base that contrasts the bright accent color. Off-white tones resembling Sail cover the tongue, lining, and midsole, giving the shoe a slightly vintage appearance. Like earlier releases in the collaboration, the pair also includes multiple lace options for customization.

Another meaningful detail arrives through the accessories. Each pair includes a bracelet featuring the Surinamese flag, a tribute to the heritage shared by Patta’s founders. The addition continues the storytelling element that has become a signature of the Patta “Waves” collaborations with Nike.

Patta Air Max 1 “White/Hyper Crimson” Release Date

The Patta x Nike Air Max 1 “White/Hyper Crimson” is scheduled to release on March 26, 2026 through pattaxnike.com and at Patta’s London, Milan, and Lagos chapter stores. Retail price is set at $150 USD.
