FIRST LOOK: Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “Flax”

Nike SB is expanding its catalog once again, introducing the Nike SB Air Force 1 “Flax” as part of its upcoming 2026 lineup. After exploring crossovers like the SB Air Max 95, this marks the brand’s first-ever skate-built take on the Air Force 1.

At first glance, the silhouette retains its familiar shape, but this project might be Nike SB’s boldest conversion yet. Skaters typically look for better board feel—something the AF1’s thick midsole isn’t known for. Still, as seen with past SB Jordan 4 and SB Air Max 95 launches, these redesigns attract both skaters and collectors alike. Adding authenticity, SB team rider Eric Koston has been spotted testing the pair, suggesting genuine skate performance updates beneath the surface.

Dressed in the beloved “Flax/Wheat/Gum Light Brown” palette, the shoe channels the iconic AF1 “Workboot” aesthetic from the early-2000s era. Premium nubuck uppers, tonal stitching, and black Nike SB Air branding on the heel tie the heritage look together. A gum outsole finishes the design with rugged appeal, making it ready for fall sessions or everyday wear.

The Nike SB Air Force 1 “Flax” releases Spring 2026 at select skate shops and Nike.com.

Original Story 6/11/25:
Anthony Edwards is lacing up for more than the hardwood. The adidas AE 1 Low Football Cleat is sprinting into Summer 2026.

Yes, you read that right—his beloved adidas AE 1 just got a turf-ready upgrade. This marks the first time adidas transforms the AE 1 Low into a football cleat.

Dressed in the “Best of Adi” colorway, this cleat keeps the basketball shoe’s bold identity. The TPU honeycomb wing, fang toe cap, and breathable mesh stay locked in. However, the outsole now flexes adidas’ Freak Plate 20 for football-ready grip.

Lime green logos give the black upper some punch, while a clean white wing provides fresh contrast. It’s loud, it’s fast, and it means business on the gridiron.

Even better, adidas kept Boost cushioning for all-day comfort—whether you’re running routes or running errands. This is a true sports crossover that blends sneaker culture with cleat tech.

Nike Air Rift “Light British Tan” Steps Into Luxury

Nike transforms the Air Rift “Light British Tan” from trail runner to something that would be at home on a dress shoe.

The Fall 2025 drop reinvents the split-toe silhouette in a more formal context with the British Tan model clad in luxurious leather with brogue-inspired stitching and perforations that hark back to more classic design.

The upper trades nylon construction for double leather straps and metal buckles for a higher-end, more fashion-forward vibe. Olive green insoles provide a little contrast, while a chunky rubber sole and prominently embroidered “AIR” logo ensure the performance DNA is still present and correct.

The Nike Air Rift “Light British Tan” releases Fall 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers for $145 USD.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Goes For A Monochrome “Vachetta Tan” Look

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Vachetta Tan” is a minimalist take on the high-end AF1.

Shiny beige suede covers every inch of the shoe. This is no ordinary pair, though. The most obvious difference is the absence of the Nike Air logo on the heel tab. That’s an easy mark of this iteration’s more refined, boutique quality that AF1 devotees will recognize immediately.

But the classic AF1 cues are still there, including the embroidered tongue tag, the mini Swoosh at the base of the lace system, and the sculpted “AIR” text on the midsole. It’s a straightforward yet luxurious rework of the OG Air Force 1.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Vachetta Tan” will be available Fall 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers.

Underfoot, a full-length Max Air unit offers plush cushioning for all-day comfort. The black midsole and multicolor outsole in maroon, white and black offer strong grip and visual contrast. Reflective hits on the tongue and heel ensure visibility during nighttime outings.

Swarovski x PUMA Speedcat Shines With Crystal-Covered Luxury

The Swarovski x PUMA Speedcat elevates PUMA’s signature motorsport design into a dazzling work of art.

Crafted in black suede with hundreds of Swarovski crystals meticulously applied by hand, this shimmering collaboration is a bridge between racing legacy and high fashion. Sleek and low-profile, the design echoes the original Speedcat from the early 2000s—a silhouette born out of PUMA’s F1 pit crews and motorsport subculture.

Each Swarovski crystal adds texture and sparkle, elevating a performance icon into a luxury staple. The tonal laces and signature PUMA Formstrip continue the sleek aesthetic, while the white PUMA logo on the toe offers a bold pop of contrast.

Featuring a grippy black sole for traction and stability, this crystal-laden edition retains the Speedcat’s authentic DNA, while adding a layer of pure luxury.

Travis Barker’s Vans Old Skool “Dues Paid” Drops October 23rd

Longtime Vans aficionado Travis Barker makes his latest collaboration with the shoe brand feel more intimate than ever. With his new Travis Barker x Vans Old Skool, he reinterprets the classic black-and-white Old Skool with subtle tattoo-inspired details that tell his personal story.

Inspired by his chest tattoo, Boombox logos are stitched on the tongue. Meanwhile, barbed wire around the midsole gives a nod to the tattoo on his knee. The hand-lettered “Dues Paid” text printed on the toe boxes is a reference to his knuckle tattoo that also represents his grind and sobriety.

To mark the drop, Barker released a song of the same name and stamped his signature ransom-style logo on the heels. Photographed by Vans curator Atiba Jefferson, the accompanying campaign is the cherry on top.

The Travis Barker x Vans Old Skool “Dues Paid” will be available October 23, 2025 at Vans.com and at The Grove in Los Angeles, with 50 pairs.

Hellstar x adidas Superstar Releasing At ComplexCon Las Vegas 2025

UPDATE 10/20/25: The Hellstar x adidas Superstar is set to launch at ComplexCon Las Vegas 2025 on Saturday, October 25th.

Original Story 9/8/25:
The Hellstar x adidas Superstar is a collaboration that brings flames, graphics, and showstopping details to an iconic silhouette.

Hellstar is a streetwear brand that launched in 2020 in Los Angeles. Since then, the brand has attracted a roster of celebrity fans and put out garments that are maximalist to say the least. Names like Kai Cenat, Lil Uzi Vert, and Metro Boomin have all rocked Hellstar in public. Hellstar is now taking their brand to the next level by debuting their take on a true adidas classic: the Superstar.

There’s no playing it safe on this Superstar. The entire sneaker is engulfed in flames that run along the midsole and upper. Thick stitching and uncut eyestays give the shoe an undone look, which Hellstar balances with a distressed face graphic on the heel. Smoky details line the shell toe and outsole. Hellstar doesn’t skimp on the branding either, as the laces are wrapped in the brand’s signature spell-out design. Hellstar also placed a custom logo on the tongue, a real honor because adidas only reserves that spot for its most high-profile collaborations. In other words, you can expect this Hellstar x adidas Superstar to make some serious noise.

Hellstar sneakerheads may have even seen this collaboration coming. Over the last few seasons, adidas sneakers have shown up in the brand’s lookbooks quite a bit. But what’s interesting about this drop is that Hellstar also sent its community a sneak peek of the collab on Discord. From there, teaser posts began popping up all over the brand’s social media accounts.

While there’s no release date for the Hellstar x adidas Superstar, it’s clear that an official announcement is just around the corner. The collab has all the makings of a major release, and will certainly be one of the most unique Superstars in years.
