New Balance Sleeping Moc and Sleeping Jane Releasing November 2026

New Balance Korea is taking its winter footwear in a quilted direction with the Sleeping Moc and Sleeping Jane. Drawing from vintage outdoor shoes, the November 2 release includes padded slip-ons, Mary Jane-inspired shapes, and an oversized polka-dot option.

The New Balance Sleeping Moc comes in Black, Gray, and Yellow with broad horizontal sections of padding across its low-cut upper. The build is lightweight, with an adjustable opening and contrasting colors inside and out.

Oversized white polka dots cover the black upper of the Sleeping Moc “Dots,” but the pattern isn’t the only change. A strap runs across the top, adding a Mary Jane element to the slip-on design.

The Sleeping Jane brings the same padded construction to a Mary Jane-inspired silhouette of its own. It follows the Breeze and Winter Breeze as New Balance Korea continues to explore strap-based designs in its women’s lineup.

The New Balance Sleeping Moc and Sleeping Jane collection arrives November 2, 2026 through New Balance Korea.

New Balance MAXEY v1 Goes Dark With “Red Rock/Black”

Black mesh covers most of the New Balance MAXEY v1 “Red Rock/Black,” with dusty red overlays stretching from the toe through the sides. Those curved panels leave large sections of mesh visible, while another red piece wraps around the heel above the sole.

The upper mixes textures, including fuzzy black panels around the lace area and lower heel, plus a smooth finish at the back of the collar. A black N outlined in red sits on the outer side. Matching black laces run over a mesh tongue with small red branding details.

A glossy blue NB badge breaks up the black heel, adding a color that barely shows from the side. The black sole curves up around the upper, and a look underneath reveals wavy traction with four yellow-green circles across the forefoot.

The New Balance MAXEY v1 “Red Rock/Black” arrives November 2, 2026, for $130 through NewBalance.com.

New Balance 991v2 “Elevated Neutrals” Pack Brings Two Made in UK Colorways

Two more colorways are coming out of Flimby as the New Balance 991v2 “Elevated Neutrals” Pack arrives November 1, 2026. Priced at $250 each, the Made in UK releases pair suede overlays with black mesh in Iron/Mulch and Turbulence/India Ink.

Iron/Mulch combines steely grey suede at the toe and heel with navy panels along the sides. Reflective grey detailing stretches across the forefoot, adding another layer over the black mesh base.

Dusty pale pink suede brings a lighter touch to Turbulence/India Ink, alongside deep chocolate brown sections. The black mesh remains, with grey synthetic panels rounding out the upper. Those warmer suede shades give it a noticeably different look from the grey-and-navy release.

Both colorways in the New Balance 991v2 “Elevated Neutrals” Pack will be available November 1, 2026, through NewBalance.com and select retailers for $250 each.

Crocs Classic Clog “Yeti” Now Available

You can barely see the clog underneath all the white and tan fur on the Crocs Classic Clog “Yeti.” Long strands cover the toe, sides, and heel strap, hanging low enough to brush the ground. Only the white footbed and outsole give much of the familiar design away.

White, green, and black eyes sit on top of the toe, while black and silver claws extend across the front. The eyes glow in the dark, a fitting detail for a pair arriving two days before Halloween. With the fur covering most of the shoe, those monster features are easy to pick out.

The Crocs Classic Clog “Yeti” releases October 29, 2026, exclusively through SNIPES stores and online. The pair comes in unisex sizing and retails for $75.

Nike Air Force 1 Patent “Joker” Just Dropped

The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 is among the models getting more patent leather colorways this year. This latest pair uses purple, green, and black, giving it a look similar to the Joker. Nike recently released the “Deep Royal Blue” version, with more patent leather styles also coming through the upcoming Victory Lap Raido collaborations.

Most of the color comes from the Bright Cactus green base, which sits underneath black patent leather overlays. Dark Iris purple is used around the upper, including the laces and tongue branding. The combination gives the shoe its Joker nickname, although there’s no official connection to the character.

Green also appears on the heel branding, insoles, and rubber outsole. The rest of the shoe keeps the usual Air Force 1 ’07 shape, with the glossy black panels providing most of the contrast against the brighter colors.

The Nike Air Force 1 Patent “Joker” is now available through Hibbett.com for $125. Expect a wider release soon on Nike.com.

Nike KD 5 Elite Returns Summer 2027

The KD 5 Elite is among the older Kevin Durant models Nike plans to bring back in 2027. Kicks Finder reports that the shoe will return in two colorways, one for the EYBL and another for the DMV. The original version came out in April 2013, when Nike Basketball was still making separate Elite editions of its signature shoes for the playoffs.

The Elite models weren’t just regular releases with different colors. Nike made changes to the materials, cushioning, and support, with the LeBron 10 and Kobe 8 also getting the treatment that year. The KD 5 Elite was quite different from those two, mainly because Nike changed so much of the original shoe that it barely looked like a KD 5 anymore.

Nike dropped the high-top cut for a low-top build and added a carbon fiber heel counter and shank for stability. The shoe also came with Kevlar-reinforced Dynamic Flywire cables, a foam tongue designed to relieve lace pressure, and a caged Zoom Air unit instead of the visible Air Max cushioning used on the regular KD 5.

It’s still unknown whether Nike will make any changes to the cushioning or materials for the upcoming release. The photos shown are of the original 2013 model, courtesy of SLAM.

Nike KD 5 Elite 2027 Release Date

The Nike KD 5 Elite “EYBL” is reportedly releasing April 22, 2027, followed by the “DMV” colorway on June 11, 2027. Both pairs are expected to retail for $190.

Nike Kobe “Mamba Eterno” Collection Releases October 30th

Four pairs make up the Nike Kobe “Mamba Eterno” Collection, which honors Kobe Bryant alongside the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos. The lineup brings together the Kobe 3 Low Protro and Kobe AD Protro with two familiar low-tops: the Kobe Dunk Low Protro and Air Force 1 Low.

Orange covers both basketball models, with floral graphics appearing beneath the outer structure of the Kobe 3 Low Protro. The AD Protro uses two shades of orange without the printed details.

On the Kobe Dunk Low Protro, orange and red patterned fabric fills the toe box, side panels, and collar. Black overlays surround those sections and match the Swoosh, while gold highlights the tongue’s sheath logo and Kobe’s signature on the heel. Inside, the right insole is emerald green and the left is purple, each finished with gold “Mamba Eterno” lettering.

Those same green and purple accents appear on the Air Force 1 Low, which pairs a sail upper with different colors on each foot. The left shoe gets emerald Swooshes and a matching heel tab; the right uses purple in both places. A marbled, multicolor outsole adds another detail below.

The Nike Kobe “Mamba Eterno” Collection releases October 30, 2026, through Foot Locker online and in stores. Check the links below to shop each available pair.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “TCU” Official Photos

TCU is among the college programs getting a Foamposite release from Nike this year. The Horned Frogs colorway has now been revealed through official photos, following the Florida State, Ohio State, and LSU pairs that were shown earlier. Each school has its own design, with TCU going with its familiar purple football colors.

TCU’s football uniforms provide much of the design here, particularly the purple shell and the geometric print running across it. The shade is officially called New Orchid, with white used for the Swooshes. Around the heel, there’s a Horned Frogs graphic on one tab and “Give ’Em Hell” on the other. That last detail is a reference to the Riff Ram Bah Zoo cheer, a longtime TCU tradition.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro TCU Release Date

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “TCU” releases November 5, 2026, at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $250.

50 Cent’s Reebok G-Unit G6 “White/Green” Returns in December 2026

50 Cent’s G6 revival includes a familiar pair from the original lineup, with the Reebok G-Unit G6 “White/Green” returning in December. The colorway brings white leather, cream suede, and green detailing back to the low-top that first arrived during the 2000s.

Suede runs around the front of the shoe, framing a perforated white leather toe box. Green and white stripes sit along the forefoot, while additional perforations carry across the leather side panels. The cream shade around the toe gives the upper a slight contrast without adding another strong color.

Green appears again on the lining and the script G-Unit logo across the heel. A matching green and white G6 lace dubrae rounds out the branding. The shape retains the court and skate-shoe influences associated with the original model.

Reebok G-Unit G6 White Green Release Date

The Reebok G-Unit G6 “White/Green” will release in December 2026 for $130. Look for unisex sizing through Reebok and select retailers, both online and in stores.

Bad Bunny’s adidas BadBo Stone Slides Expected June 2027

Blue and yellow versions of the Bad Bunny x adidas BadBo Stone Slides are on the way for Summer 2027, bringing a slip-on to a collection that already includes the BadBo 1.0 and BadBo 1.1. Both pairs feature an etched, stone-like surface that gives the model its name.

That texture covers the uppers, with subtle changes in tone bringing out the rough finish. Each colorway stays mostly monochromatic, so the carved effect remains visible without contrasting panels breaking it up. The blue pair has an aquatic look; yellow gives the same design a brighter appearance.

The Stone Slides extend a partnership that has covered plenty of ground, from Bad Bunny’s Campus and Gazelle releases to the F50 Ghost Sprint. His early collaborations reworked familiar adidas models, while the growing BadBo lineup has introduced signature footwear. A slide adds another option alongside those sneakers.

The adidas BadBo Stone Slides are expected to release in June 2027 in blue and yellow, priced at $70 each.

Nike LeBron 24 “Storm Drain” Inspired by LeBron’s Pennywise Halloween Costume

LeBron James showed up as Pennywise from “It” for Halloween in 2017. His face was covered in makeup, making it difficult to tell who was behind the costume. He posted pictures of the outfit on social media, and almost nine years later, Nike is using that same look for the LeBron 24 “Storm Drain.”

The sneaker comes in different shades of dark grey, with a faded picture of James dressed as Pennywise printed across the upper. Since the image is so close in color to the rest of the shoe, it can be hard to see at first. The laces, Swooshes, and crown logos are red, matching the colors associated with the character.

Even the name has a connection to the movie. In It, Pennywise hides underground in the sewer system, which explains why Nike went with “Storm Drain.” The shoe also uses a photo of LeBron’s actual Halloween costume instead of relying only on the colors and details from the film.

Nike LeBron 24 Storm Drain Release Date

The Nike LeBron 24 “Storm Drain” releases on October 30, 2026, for $200. Pairs will be sold on Nike.com and at select retailers. Check out the official photos below.

Wales Bonner x adidas FW26 Collection Available Now

Wales Bonner puts pony hair on the BW Army and crocodile-stamped leather on the Gazelle for her latest adidas collection. Five sneakers make up the Fall/Winter 2026 footwear release, joined by clothing that ranges from a brown leather jacket to football tops and knitwear.

The BW Army comes in “Khaki Pony” and “Black Pony,” both with lizard-print leather overlays against the textured uppers. Gum soles carry over the familiar trainer look, while exposed stitching runs along the heel. Underneath, each pair has a “BW-Sport 265” stamp.

On the Gazelle, green crocodile-stamped leather meets cream Three Stripes, with bright blue lining providing the biggest color contrast. Brown stamped leather and brushed gold eyelets give the Karintha a darker finish. The Adizero Adios takes a different route with cream suede, custom Three Stripes, and a visible Torsion plate beneath the sole.

The apparel includes a bark-brown leather jacket with crochet-style stripes down the sides and tonal embossed branding. A striped polo mixes red, maroon, and mustard, while a grey knit tee keeps the adidas and Wales Bonner logos together. Double-knit tracksuits, pinstripe pieces, a collared football top, and stirrup track pants sit alongside socks, a lanyard, and a paneled neoprene bag.

Photographer Harley Weir’s campaign draws from 1980s London music and youth culture, placing the collection against red and peach backdrops and open skies.

The Wales Bonner x adidas Fall/Winter 2026 collection is available now through adidas.com, CONFIRMED, walesbonner.com, and select retailers. Pricing is $220 for the Gazelle and Karintha, with the two BW Army colorways and Adizero Adios priced at $200 each.

A Few Good Kids Gets Its First Nike Air Force 1 Collaboration

The Air Force 1 has been getting plenty of attention from Nike throughout 2026, especially with the return of the original ’01 shape and the arrival of the SB version. There have also been quite a few collaborations along the way, and another one is coming before the year ends. This time, Nike is working with A Few Good Kids, a Chinese streetwear brand that hasn’t had its own Nike release until now.

A Few Good Kids was started in 2018 by rapper Ma Siwei and Zhang Chi, and the label has built much of its identity around streetwear and its signature green color. That same green shows up on its first Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01, which takes a different approach from the usual two-tone leather releases. The shoe has an autumn theme, with maple leaves and stems worked into the design.

Green leather covers the upper, with the leaf pattern printed across the panels in a slightly different shade. The Swoosh comes in golden yellow, while salmon pink shows up inside the collar. Down below, there’s a black midsole with yellow AIR lettering, along with an embroidered A Few Good Kids logo near the outer heel. Only one leaked image has surfaced so far, so there aren’t many other angles to look at yet.

A Few Good Kids Nike Air Force 1 Release Date

The A Few Good Kids x Nike Air Force 1 ’01 will release during Holiday 2026, through A Few Good Kids, Nike SNKRS, and select retailers. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $150.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Champagne” Celebrates 25th Anniversary of SB Dunks

The Nike SB Dunk has been through a lot of different releases since it first arrived in 2002, and the shoe is getting ready to turn 25. While Nike SB has spent much of this year working on the SB Air Force 1 and new P-Rod 1 colorways, there’s still something planned for the Dunk’s anniversary. A new “Champagne” pair has surfaced in official photos, complete with green patent leather, gold accents, and a few details taken from an actual champagne bottle.

The green patent leather is probably the first thing people will notice, especially with how shiny it looks across the upper. Gold shows up around the Swoosh and heel, matching the kind of foil you’d find wrapped around the top of a champagne bottle. Nike went with cork insoles as another reference, along with a small crest near the inside heel and gothic-style lettering. It’s a pretty direct take on the theme, right down to the materials.

Anyone who remembers the Air Jordan 6 “Champagne” from 2014 has probably seen a similar combination of colors before. That Jordan release also used green and gold, although the two shoes aren’t officially connected. Nike SB has a history of using Air Jordan color schemes on its Dunks through the J-Pack series, but this one appears to be its own take on the champagne bottle.

Nike SB Dunk Low Champagne Release Date

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Champagne” will begin hitting select skate shops in November 2026, followed by a SNKRS launch. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $130.

Travis Scott x CPFM x Nike Air Flea 1 Releases Spring 2027

Travis Scott has worked with plenty of big names on his sneakers over the years, including Fragment Design, but his next project is with Cactus Plant Flea Market. The brand founded by Cynthia Lu is joining Travis and Nike for a new model called the Air Flea 1, expected to arrive in Spring 2027. It’s a pretty unusual looking shoe, even compared to some of the other Cactus Jack releases we’ve seen.

The Air Flea 1 was first teased by Travis earlier this year, and there are a few things about it that might remind people of the Nike SB Dunk Low. The shape is similar in places, although the proportions are different, especially around the laces. There’s a thick padded collar and a large tongue with a hidden pocket, something Travis has used before on his Air Jordan 1 and Jordan 6 collaborations. The back also has extra ankle padding, a striped heel tab, and a pull tab.

Khaki suede covers much of the upper, but the panels have an uneven, almost lumpy appearance with stitching running between them. The brown midsole looks like it was dipped in mud, giving the shoe a worn look straight out of the box. Travis’ usual reverse Swoosh comes in Night Forest green, matching the thick green laces. One side of the heel combines the Cactus Jack logo with CPFM’s smiley face, while pink accents show up on the tongue, insoles, and opposite inner side.

Travis Scott CPFM Nike Flea 1 Release Date

The Travis Scott x CPFM x Nike Air Flea 1 “Cactus Jack” is expected to release Spring 2027 through CPFM, Travis Scott’s website, SNKRS, and select retailers. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $180.

The Next Air Jordan “Black Pack” Pairs Release November 2026

Jordan Brand has been giving some of its older, less popular signature models more attention lately, especially the shoes Michael Jordan wore after his Chicago Bulls days. Collaborations with Infinite Archives and Free the Youth have helped bring interest back to that part of the Air Jordan lineup. Now the Air Jordan 15 and Air Jordan 17 Low are getting their turn with the “Black Pack,” which brings both models back in mostly black materials.

The collection actually includes four shoes, with the Air Jordan 14 and Air Jordan 16 already released. The remaining two stick with the same dark colors, but each has its own textured details. Snakeskin covers parts of the Air Jordan 15’s side panels, while the Air Jordan 17 Low uses a faux stingray leather finish around the laces. Both have that dressed-up look Jordan Brand has been using throughout the pack, without adding much color.

Jordan Brand has also been keeping the “Black Pack” releases away from the usual Nike SNKRS launches. The shoes have been sold through select neighborhood retailers instead, giving smaller sneaker shops a chance to carry the collection. The Air Jordan 15 and 17 Low are expected to follow that same setup, with pairs also available through 232323232323.com, where the entire collection was originally shown.

Air Jordan Black Pack Release Date

The Air Jordan 15 “Black Pack” and Air Jordan 17 Low “Black Pack” are scheduled to release November 7, 2026, through select NBHD retailers and 232323232323.com. Both pairs will retail for $245 each.
