By

Nike continues LeBron James’ legacy of storytelling with the upcoming Nike LeBron 23 “Best In Class”. Following the “Grand Opening” release, this pair celebrates LeBron’s 2003 NBA Draft night—when he was selected first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The colorway speaks volumes. Dressed entirely in University Red, the sneaker features intricate reflective graphics inspired by LeBron’s career milestones. The hand-drawn crown design is a tribute to his “King James” nickname, while the bitten apple logo on the heel is a reference to New York, also known as the “Big Apple,” where James was drafted and changed the course of his career. Gold accents on the Swoosh and LeBron’s signature on the tongue add a luxurious touch befitting of a king.

The sneaker is packed with meaningful details. The overall “Best In Class” theme is a tribute to LeBron being the number one pick in the league after his high school dominance, merging his hardwood legacy with a scholarly twist. Custom packaging, red and blue laces, and a booklet included with the release also offer a storytelling experience for sneakerheads.

Pairing the reflective upper with a royal finish, this shoe effortlessly combines nostalgia with modern craftsmanship, serving as a tribute to LeBron’s continuous pursuit of greatness.

Up There Debuts ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 “Natsukashii Pt 2”

By

Up There and ASICS have reintroduced their “Natsukashii” series with the second installment of the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 in “Glacier Grey.”

The silhouette refines the sporty-but-not-too-sporty aspect of the silhouette’s proportions while retaining the glossy patent overlays and rich red accents set against its crisp white base, reminiscent of Prada’s elegant America’s Cup sneaker.

Mesh accents are inspired by the GEL-KAYANO 20 and give a subtle nod to the running culture that helped build Australia’s sneaker identity. The green Up There logo shines on the guidance line, while pops of Signal Red underfoot give an extra pop of contrast.

Each pair will include a set of two different laces and a premium co-branded box.

Early access is available now to first colorway owners on UpThere.com, and will drop in store on October 24th and online on October 27th at 8AM AEDT.

UPDATE 10/24/25: Official photos of the “Aurora” Book 1 have been added below. Expect a release on November 7th, 2025.

Original Story 10/14/25:
The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” is a showstopper thanks to a Court Purple upper and iridescent Swoosh.

A nod to the northern lights, the color-shifting logo blinks in hues of pink, gold and blue–adding an otherworldly sheen to Devin Booker’s first signature shoe.

The Book 1 is a signature line that Nike is expanding with further storytelling. This shoe is a prime example with breathable mesh and durable leather overlays. A blend of both materials, they provide a winning combination of style and performance. The FlyEase-adjustable bootie silhouette and bold color scheme is offset by the cool tones of a Sail midsole and outsole.

Moving to the interior, supportive performance tech ensures it’s a sneaker that’s always game-ready. Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole and TPU sidewalls ensure plush comfort and on-cushion support.

The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” releases November 7, 2025, and will cost $145 USD at Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retail partners.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Realtree” Now Available (October 2025)

By
Mario Briguglio

UPDATE 10/24/25: The “Realtree” Air Force 1 is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/30/25:
Nike continues its outdoors-inspired streak with the Air Force 1 Low “Realtree,” updated for Fall 2025. The brand revisits its camo-driven theme, expanding the lineup to three pairs, now including this edition anchored by a gum yellow sole.

Whereas the darker Realtree version is a lot more subdued, this pair leans heavily into the woodsy theme. Opting for full camo textile uppers instead of the traditional leather, the combination of muddy browns and greens creates an edgier feel to the shoe. The gum midsole tones further emphasize the autumn-ready vibe. The rope-style laces with splashes of burgundy help to break things up without going too far.

The AF1 has always been a testing ground for new ideas, so this Realtree edition feels almost organic. That balance of streetwear and function is what keeps the silhouette evolving, well over four decades later. Fans who missed previous Realtree releases will likely be marking their calendars for this one.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Realtree” releases October 24, 2025, through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $125 USD.

Nike debuts another iteration of lifestyle comfort with the all-new Nike Mind 001 “Black”.

Inspired by both futuristic research and its foothold in the streetwear crowd, the new slip-on is just the latest in Nike’s mission of rethinking ergonomics.

The molded one-piece upper comes in a smooth black finish, complete with perforations and a streamlined Chrome Swoosh. The standout feature underfoot is the hyper crimson podded outsole that juxtaposes the upper while maximizing cushioning and flexibility. The multi-textured sole and minimal aesthetic mirror some of Nike’s more eccentric offerings, such as the ISPA line, and show that Nike’s design studio has no qualms with bending design rules.

The new shoes arrive in a unique “Nike Mind” box that features conceptual art paying homage to the project’s research background.

The Nike Mind 001 “Black” drops in January 2026 on Nike.com and at select retailers for $95 USD.

Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” Releases November 6th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 10/24/25: Official photos of the “Loyal Blue” Air Max 95 Zip have been added below. A release is set for November 6th via SNKRS.

Original Story 10/7/25:
The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is bringing back a cult-favorite twist from the early 2000s. Originally released in 2001 as a women’s exclusive, this early Air Max 95 iteration was a forward-thinking experiment that introduced a zip-up futuristic shroud marrying performance style and sleek fashion-forward sensibilities. It’s now coming back as part of Nike’s 2025 Air Max lineup.

The reissue features the full Loyal Blue suede overlays, which are wrapped in a form-fitting synthetic shroud that zips over the laces at the top. Details of Bright Crimson pop up at the mini Swoosh and visible Air units, while the deep chocolate-hued Max Air unit forms a clean contrast. The reissue also preserves the split Air Max logo on the tongue, a distinguishing detail from the original silhouette.

In comparison to the early-2000s model which utilized copious amounts of leather, this retro primarily employs premium suede and neoprene for a more contemporary approach. It’s a welcome change — the texture adds lifestyle cred, while still retaining the shoe’s futuristic swagger. The visible Air cushioning and chunky build echo elements that make Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 DNA a design mainstay after almost three decades.

The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is set to release November 6, 2025 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price is expected to be $210 USD.

Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “White” Now Available (October 2025)

By
Mason Tiniuc

UPDATE 10/24/25: The Vibram Air Force 1 GTX in “White” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 10/24/25:
The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex finds new terrain for the AF1’s classic silhouette.

The Summit White leather, tonal lacing and eggshell accents nod to the low’s legacy before amping up the toughness.

Nike has taken the AF1 further than just a lifestyle sneaker before, but the Vibram sole is a new level of grip. It’s a subtlety that sneakerheads will appreciate first, in the form of a yellow Vibram badge that speckles the midsole and outsole. This build has a more utilitarian and street-ready feel, compared to your standard AF1.

Finishing details include a pair of lace options, as well as metal dubraes etched with “AF1” and “Gore-Tex” for all-weather footwear. The outsole also gets a pattern facelift, providing function while maintaining the original’s signature minimal aesthetic.

The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “Summit White” will spearhead a three-pair pack, and will officially drop on October 24, 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers.

UPDATE 10/24/25: The Vibram Air Force 1 GTX in “Black” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 10/7/25:
The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “Black” will be one of the following “White” and “Clay Green” colorways to drop soon. This iteration on Bruce Kilgore’s icon reinterprets the street staple in utilitarian fashion.

In place of a full-grain leather upper, the shoe uses a combination of tumbled leather and a more rugged fabric, which is then sealed with Gore-Tex waterproof treatment. It has the same premium feel, with the added bonus of weatherproofing, which makes it possible to wear the shoe all year round. That’s the small change sneakerheads will spot when they compare it to standard AF1 iterations.

Akin to the interior, Vibram’s signature rubber sole makes its first appearance on the silhouette’s outsole. Celebrated for its rugged traction and outdoor lineage, the yellow Vibram logo is featured beneath the quintessential “Air” branding, merging performance innovation with Nike’s iconic design language. The result is a smart decision that strikes a sophisticated balance between luxury craftsmanship and functional upgrades.

The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Gore-Tex “Black” will be available at select retailers and Nike.com on October 24, 2025. Price is set at $150 USD.

Nike Air Max Plus “Doernbecher” by Sergio Cano Marquez Brings Imagination To Life

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike’s Doernbecher Freestyle program is back, once again honoring bravery and imagination in collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University’s Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

This time around, the remixer is Sergio Cano Marquez, who was born with mucopolysaccharidosis type IV A, and he’s bringing a world of imagination to the Air Max Plus.

A dark, video-game-infused design on one shoe tells the story of Sergio’s passion for drawing on the right, while the other is splashed with all sorts of vivid cartoon monsters chomping on pizza in front of a bright New York City skyline. The split design and overall execution gives the silhouette a cartoonish and storybook vibe that’s unique within the Air Max family.

Heartfelt personal touches, including his name on the heel of one shoe and “MPS” on the opposite, make this one more than a style statement.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Doernbecher” will be available early 2026 for $180 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Palace x Nike Total 90 III Releases Holiday 2025

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike and adidas might jab at each other all day, but what Palace just did by making the leap from the Three Stripes to the Swoosh is a new way to engage in battle. On the side of the sneaker culture arms race, the importance of the skatewear–sportswear connection has been a completely new ballgame because Nike’s history and longstanding relationship with Supreme is so deep. With Palace x Nike Total 90 III leading the pack for their first-ever collection for Holiday 2025, the long-rumored collaboration is now a go.

Totally reworked, these Total 90 III trainers worn by football icons including Wayne Rooney arrive in a clean White, Metallic Silver, and Volt colourway. The combination of smooth white leather with quilted stitching across the toe, contrasted by a chrome medial panel, lends the silhouette a futuristic retro look. Bright Volt accents are scattered across the outsole, Swoosh, and heel branding adding that signature Nike Football flavour Palace are known for reinventing.

The best part? This isn’t a standalone release. A Palace x Nike clothing capsule that mirrors the shoe’s Volt-highlighted color scheme, made up of tees, tracksuits, and shorts, accompanies the release. While we patiently await the elusive Air Max DN8 that Palace has been teasing, the Total 90 III with its rich heritage and modern flair, has no problem stealing the show.

The Palace x Nike Total 90 III will drop Holiday 2025 at Palace Skateboards, select retailers, and Nike.com.

FIRST LOOK: LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 “Black Patent”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike Basketball’s crossover with the Air Force 1 continues its strong run, this time enlisting LeBron James for a luxe reinterpretation. After Kobe Bryant’s Air Force 1 Low Protro revival and Ja Morant’s logo-teased pairs, LeBron adds his own royal twist to the franchise.

The LeBron James Air Force 1 “Black Patent” is a luxe take on the classic silhouette. Black patent leather uppers sit alongside polished tonal stitching and gold crown-embellished details inspired by James’ King James moniker. The subtle personal touches in the form of metallic lace dubrae and LeBron-branded heel tabs pay homage to James’ King James moniker.

Inside, Nike has swapped the classic star-shaped traction for a radial-floral design, a detail that ties into evolution and growth. LeBron has also taken a traditional basketball silhouette and elevated it, reinventing it in his own way, year after year. The LeBron James Air Force 1 “Black Patent” debuts in a black box with crown graphic.

The LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 “Black Patent” will be available at select retailers and Nike.com in December 2025. Retail price will be $200 USD.
