New Balance Allerdale Goes Full Dad Shoe in “Grey Stone”

Continuing its dabble into fresh retro silhouettes that mix New Balance heritage style with everyday function is the new Allerdale “Grey Stone” colorway.

Made in the UK at New Balance’s own Flimby factory, the sneaker is made up of a soft tumbled leather upper in neutral grey hues. The creamy interior and gum outsole provide the lifestyle-ready palette.

Functional D-ring eyelets mix in some hiking DNA to the classic silhouette, while embroidered logos and tonal branding throughout help to keep the details minimal. The midsole debuts FuelCell cushioning for a responsive retro build.

The New Balance Allerdale “Grey Stone” will be available on August 26, 2025 at NewBalance.com and select retailers for $250 USD.

The Allerdale is a nod to the current “dad shoe” trend thanks to its elevated materials and quiet styling. The sneaker is a no-brainer for sneakerheads looking for comfort, without sacrificing quality and craftsmanship.

Jay Chou Teases PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95 Collab

Taiwanese pop superstar Jay Chou is teaming up once again with Nike and his PHANTACI label, this time on the Jay Chou PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95. The musician is no stranger to fashioning sneakers with themes that pay homage to his music, and for this collaboration, he turned to guitars as the muse for the design.

From the first images, there is an attachable PHANTACI guitar pick necklace on a gold chain, a pearloid Jay Chou tongue logo, and tortoiseshell accents that are familiar to any guitar enthusiast. Additional features on the shoe include multi-layered grey leather parts with gradient effects and a textured mesh covering for contrast. The heel tab also has gold “PHANTACI” lettering for the finishing touch.

The PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95 continues on the path set by Chou’s most recent “Grand Piano” Air Max 1 by fusing together a variety of musical elements with high-end kicks. The Air Max 95 was selected as the base model, partly for its signature latticework on the sides and partly for the model’s history of being a staple in sportswear and streetwear culture.

Nike has not officially set a release date for the Jay Chou PHANTACI x Nike Air Max 95, but it could be hitting some select retail partners and possibly Nike SNKRS later this year.

Deion Sanders Reveals Nike Diamond Turf Proto 92 Samples

As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare for a 2025 season with new starting quarterback Kaidon Salter, Deion Sanders has been making headlines for something other than football. With Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in the NFL, it’s time to turn our focus towards the antics of “Prime Time” away from the game, including these four unreleased Nike Air Diamond Turf Proto 92 samples.

Gifted to Sanders for his birthday, the collection debuted during a team meeting and was later showcased in his office alongside Deion Sanders Jr. Each pair highlights a different chapter of Sanders’ style and legacy. The silhouettes include a classic black, white, and gold matching the team’s colors; a vibrant yellow suede; a clean white and red throwback nodding to his time with the San Francisco 49ers and their team color, including glossy patent leather overlays; and a loud purple and pink colorway that Sanders said would “look good on Cam’ron.”

The Nike Air Diamond Turf Proto 92 originally debuted in the early ’90s as a cross-training sneaker built for Sanders’ dual-sport dominance in the NFL and MLB. Known for its midfoot strap, layered paneling, and bold branding, the model became a staple in both sports and streetwear circles.

No official retail release or launch date has been confirmed from Nike for the prototypes, but expect more out of this collection as it renews nostalgia for the famed Air Diamond Turf Proto 92.

Sneaker Talk: Nike SB Dunk Low “Entourage” (Friends & Family)

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Entourage” Friends & Family edition was quietly produced in 2011 to honor the HBO hit Entourage as it reached its final season. A true collector’s grail, this pair never saw a retail release and was distributed only to close friends and family of the show’s cast and crew.

Design-wise, the sneaker features textured black elephant print overlays paired with rich black suede underlays. Blacked-out Swooshes and mid-panels keep the color palette sleek and understated. The Entourage branding is subtly placed on the tongue label beneath the Nike SB mark, while custom insoles display “Entourage” on one foot and “The End” on the other—marking the show’s close.

This SB Dunk Low shares its design DNA with other premium elephant print Dunks from the 2000s era but gains added weight due to its Hollywood connection. It’s one of those ultra-rare SBs that rarely surface, even in high-end auctions or private resale networks.

With no intentions of a public release, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Entourage” Friends & Family was a true representation of when pop culture and sneaker culture collided.
