The Whitaker Group x Air Jordan 10 Low Releases Summer 2027

The Air Jordan 10 is getting a new look in 2027, with Jordan Brand preparing to introduce the model in Low form for the first time. Helping kick things off will be The Whitaker Group, which is expected to release its own Air Jordan 10 Low during Spring/Summer 2027.

The Whitaker Group and Jordan Brand have worked together plenty over the years. Through A Ma Maniére, Social Status, APB, and JAIDE, the group has already put its touch on several Jordan models. The Air Jordan 10 Low will be the latest addition.

There still aren’t any official images, but early details from Sneaker Files and @zsneakerheadz give us an idea of what the shoe should look like. Tan is expected to cover most of the upper, while blue runs along the eyestays.

Black is used around the tongue, ankle, and parts of the midsole. Orange shows up on the inner lining and Jumpman branding at the heel, while the mix of colors keeps the overall look fairly muted.

The inside is expected to come with blue insoles and Nike Air branding. Underneath, the Air Jordan 10 keeps its usual outsole setup, this time done in black with light green accents.

The Whitaker Group Air Jordan 10 Low Release Date

The Whitaker Group x Air Jordan 10 Low is currently scheduled to release on June 5, 2027, through Jordan Brand and Whitaker Group retail locations including A Ma Maniére, Social Status, and APB.

Air Jordan 6 Low “Desert Berry” Releases September 2026

Yet another women’s Air Jordan 6 Low will be added to Jordan Brand’s already stacked 2026 roster, this version donning a “Desert Berry” inspired colorway. The low-top features a Black, Desert Berry and Metallic Silver color palette.

Built from black nubuck, the upper features panels of Desert Berry iridescence adding pops of color through the sides. The pink iridescent tone varies slightly based on lighting, and is also found on the Jumpman-branded lace lock.

Metallic Silver accents the heel spoiler and parts of the midsole, offering another contrast to the black upper. The classic Air Jordan 6 tooling can still be found on the interior, allowing the overall profile to stay true to previous low-top versions.

First released back in 2002, the Air Jordan 6 Low has always been less popular than the standard mid-top. Though Jordan Brand has retro’d them occasionally since, there have been a few women’s-exclusive colorways released through the years.

The women’s Air Jordan 6 Low “Desert Berry” will drop on September 16, 2026, via Nike.com and select Jordan Brand stores, priced at $205.

Nike Caitlin 1 Colorways Take Over SLAM Kicks Cover

Caitlin Clark is putting more of her first signature sneaker lineup on display ahead of the Nike Caitlin 1 launch later this year. For the latest issue of SLAM Kicks, the Indiana Fever star appears with several colorways she has already worn on court or shared through early previews.

The cover features four different Caitlin 1s, including Clark’s purple PE, the “Yellow Zest” colorway, her WNBA All-Star PE, and the bright “Hot Punch” pair. Each has surfaced over the past month, giving an early look at how much variety is coming to the new signature model.

More photos from the shoot show Clark holding six pairs of the Caitlin 1. Along with some of the colorways seen on the cover, the group includes the “White/Racer Blue” version, the original “Racer Blue” colorway, and the “White Label” PE she briefly showed on Instagram. Some are expected to release to the public, while others remain player-exclusive looks made for Clark.

The Nike Caitlin 1 is set to make its retail debut on October 1, 2026. Unisex sizing will retail for $140, followed by GS pairs at $115 and PS sizing at $105.

Nike Caitlin 1 “Emerald Rise” Releases January 2027

A brighter Nike Caitlin 1 colorway has surfaced ahead of Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe debut, this time in an “Emerald Rise” makeup. Green and blue do most of the work across the pair, with gold and navy mixed in for contrast.

Emerald Rise, Varsity Maize, Dusty Cactus, and Midnight Navy are used across the shoe. Much of the textured upper comes dressed in mint green, while blue appears underneath and creates a layered gradient effect through the raised construction.

Metallic Gold lands on the Swoosh and Clark’s double-C logo on the tongue. The back half gets noticeably darker, with black and deeper navy tones taking over around the heel and giving the brighter colors up front a little more contrast.

Several Caitlin 1 colorways have already been previewed by Clark before the shoe has officially hit stores. The “Emerald Rise” pair is one of the later releases currently lined up and shows another direction Nike is taking with her first signature model.

The Nike Caitlin 1 “Emerald Rise” will release January 16, 2027 through Nike and select retailers.

First Look at the Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Red”

Vans is bringing the pearl-covered Old Skool 36 back in red, giving the archival skate shoe another dressed-up look for Holiday 2026.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Red” first appeared during Paris Fashion Week. Red canvas makes up most of the upper, with a darker red suede used around the toe, eyestays, and heel. White stitching cuts through the tonal setup, while cream laces add to the older, slightly worn look.

Pearls and crystals are worked into the white Jazz Stripe and then scattered across the toe, tongue, and heel. They come in different sizes, mixed with silver eyelets and smaller metal studs. There is a lot going on up top, but the Old Skool 36 shape itself is still easy to recognize.

The sole gets the same aged treatment. Vans uses a white midsole with darkened spots and scuffing around the edges instead of leaving it bright and untouched. It fits with the cream laces and keeps the shoe from looking overly polished.

This is not the first time Vans has used the pearl treatment on the Old Skool 36. A navy version released earlier in 2026, and the look has since become a recurring part of the model’s recent lineup.

The Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized “Red” is expected to release during Holiday 2026.

SLAM x Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Starfish” Releases August 25th

Nike is bringing the Zoom Hyperflight back into the spotlight with some help from SLAM, connecting two names that were all over basketball culture during the early 2000s.

The SLAM x Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Starfish” is the first shoe revealed from a larger collection between the two brands. Additional releases are expected to include the Nike GT Cut 4, Sabrina 3, and Ja 4.

SLAM has covered basketball through its own mix of hoops, sneakers, music, and street culture since launching in 1994. That history makes the Hyperflight a fitting choice for the collaboration, especially considering how closely the model is tied to the same era.

After an early heel preview surfaced in February, Nick DePaula gave us an on-foot look at the pair a few months ago while wearing them at Golden One Center. Now, with the release getting closer, official images give us a much better look at all of the details.

The shoe comes covered in glossy Starfish orange patent leather, giving the upper a look similar to the shine of a magazine cover while also pulling from SLAM’s familiar orange branding. A white Swoosh appears near the lateral toe, while grey covers the tongue, laces, and portions of the outsole.

Black detailing along the side structure breaks up the bright upper, while reflective 3M material appears around the collar and tongue. When hit with light, those sections light up and add another element to an otherwise straightforward orange, grey, and black color scheme.

SLAM branding is also worked into the tongue and heel, with the large “S” logo appearing across the back of each shoe. The collaboration keeps much of the Hyperflight’s original shape intact while giving it a finish that feels specific to SLAM.

The release also comes as Nike continues digging back into its early-2000s basketball catalog. Models like the Hyperflight and Foamposite have returned alongside newer performance shoes that are once again being worn away from the court.

SLAM Nike Hyperflight Orange Release Date

The SLAM x Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Starfish” releases August 25, 2026, through Nike SNKRS. The retail price is set at $170.

Nike Ja 4 “Dark Mode” Releases September 4th

New images of the Nike Ja 4 “Dark Mode” show one of the first colorways expected for Ja Morant’s fourth signature shoe. The Black, Dark Grey, and Cobalt Bliss palette stays mostly in the background, putting more focus on the model’s sharp shape and heavily molded upper.

Most of the shoe comes finished in a muted dark grey, with black worked into the sculpted sections. Diamond-patterned texture covers much of the exterior and gives the Ja 4 a harder, more technical appearance than the layered builds often used on basketball shoes.

Chrome breaks up the darker finish at the midfoot. A metallic “A” lines up with the reverse Swoosh to form “JA,” carrying over the branding idea Nike introduced on the Ja 3. Small Cobalt Bliss accents add a little contrast, but the overall look remains understated.

The Nike Ja 4 “Dark Mode” is set to release September 4, 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers. The retail price is $130. Check out the official photos below.

Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.0 “Night Navy” Releases September 2026

Now that Bad Bunny’s debut signature shoe, the adidas Badbo 1.0, has dropped this year, we’re starting to see new colorways emerge, offering a glimpse of what’s next. One of those colorways is this upcoming “Night Navy” edition set to drop this Fall 2026.

The shoe’s design opts for a deep, tonal look, featuring a range of blues across its upper. The color scheme makes the shoe feel relaxing and beachy allowing you to draw connections back to Puerto Rico’s coastlines and island landscape. The premium suede exudes luxury, while orange accents on the eyelets pop.

Rounding out the details is a midsole that channels a vintage vibe, the classic star logo gracing the heel tab, and an extra set of laces bundled with the release.

The adidas Badbo 1.0 by Bad Bunny “Night Navy” will be available on September 26, 2026 at select retailers and online at adidas.com. Expect retail pricing to be $160 USD. The shoe will be available in men’ styles. Look at the official photos below.

Where To Buy The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6

The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 has been teased for well over a year now, but this weekend the long-awaited collaboration is finally slated to debut. Coming in at two colorways, both “Bubblegum Pink” and “Blueberry” will receive their first release through Awake NY this weekend.

Materials is one of the standout differences between these pairs and your average Air Jordan 6. Appearing around portions of the midfoot and heel is Saffiano leather, which is used in conjunction with nubuck suede across the toe and up through other areas of the shoe’s upper. Though the recognizable shape of the Jordan 6 is retained, both colorways benefit from the upgraded materials, giving them a noticeably different finish than what we’re used to.

Awake NY also makes it known who the shoes belong to without going overboard with branding. On the heel, Awake replaces traditional “AIR” lettering beneath the Nike Air logo, while over at the midfoot the brand’ iconic “A” logo is placed prominently. Details in Infrared can also be spotted across both colorways, giving sneakerheads another small homage to the original Air Jordan 6 “Infrared.”

Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 Raffle Details

Buyings its way into either pair will be available directly through Awake NY on August 23, 2026. Awake is hosting an EQL raffle for both colorways which will open at 10 AM EDT Saturday and is expected to remain live for only a few hours.

Online delivery will be available for both colorways, while “Bubblegum Pink” will also be available for in-store pickup. Pickup for both shoes begins August 24 at 10 AM EDT, at which point winners should expect to receive an email later that night. Awake NY will also be shipping globally.

It’s worth noting one key difference between releases. “Bubblegum Pink” Air Jordan 6 will be a special Awake NY exclusive, according to Angelo Baque. With that in mind, this raffle will more than likely be the only chance to buy these at retail. “Blueberry” will receive a wider release on August 29.

Awake NY will also be hosting an in-person raffle in conjunction with their annual park jam in New York City. The event will take place at Seward Park, but has since been rescheduled from August 22 to August 24 due to weather.

How Limited Is The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6?

According to Sneaker News, around 10,000 will be available for the “Bubblegum Pink” colorway. “Blueberry” is said to have a slightly higher quantity, but will still be fairly limited at 25,000 pairs.

The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 “Bubblegum Pink” and “Blueberry” will release first through Awake NY on August 23, 2026. “Bubblegum Pink” will be an Awake NY exclusive, where “Blueberry” releases widely on August 29.

Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01 “Dark Team Red” Revives an Early-2000s Favorite

Nike has another Air Force 1 Low ’01 on the way for Holiday 2026. The latest is a “Dark Team Red” colorway, following the recently revealed “Light Army” pair.

Most of the shoe comes dressed in a deep burgundy red, covering the leather upper from the toe through the heel. White is used for the Swoosh, tongue, heel tab and midsole, while the laces, tongue label and outsole switch back to red. The sockliner comes in a slightly darker shade.

The bigger story here is the shape. The Air Force 1 Low ’01 has a slimmer, more streamlined build than the standard AF1 Low that has become common over the years. It pulls from the early-2000s version of the model, with a lower-profile look that gives the shoe a noticeably different feel on foot.

So far, Nike has kept the returning ’01 fairly straightforward. “Dark Team Red” does not add much beyond the two-tone color scheme, and it really does not need to. The darker red upper and white branding already give the shoe enough separation from the usual all-white and all-black Air Force 1 releases.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01 “Dark Team Red” will release during Holiday 2026 through Nike and select retailers. The retail price is set at $130.

Action Bronson Shows Off Upcoming New Balance 2811 Drops

Action Bronson is wasting little time building out the New Balance 2811. After introducing the signature model in the “Mikročpske” colorway, he has now previewed two more versions in black/red and white/blue.

The black and red pair is the same colorway Bronson was spotted wearing courtside at Madison Square Garden. Most of the shoe is covered in black, including the upper and sole, with a red jewel-style badge adding contrast. White sections underneath the mudguard keep the design from going completely dark.

A white and blue version brings a much different look to the 2811. Off-white takes over the center of the shoe, while teal and light blue appear across the surrounding panels. Red contrast stitching adds another hit of color, and a black sole finishes off the pair.

That colorway had already surfaced before Bronson showed it himself. Multiple pairs appeared on GOAT in late July, with some listed below the model’s expected retail price. Bronson later addressed the situation on social media and referred to the incident as a “heist.”

Both pairs are expected to follow the Action Bronson x New Balance 2811 “Mikročpske” as upcoming releases for the new model. Release dates for the black/red and white/blue colorways have yet to be announced.

Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” Releasing as a Europe Exclusive

Another Air Jordan 4 is slated to drop, though this particular model won’t see a global release. This specific take on the classic silhouette is a regional exclusive. This Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” is scheduled for a European-only Holiday release.

The colorway is rather straightforward, dressing most of the AJ4 in neutral military-inspired tones. Light Army covers the majority of the upper, with darker hues showing up on the outsole, branded tongue and select pieces of the midsole. Bits of light grey netting and eyelets, as well as collar accents help break up the color scheme without shifting away from the muted, earthy aesthetic.

This latest AJ4 release doesn’t appear to have a storied backstory like some others do tying it back to Michael Jordan’s career or an archival sneaker. Rather, this colorway is simply another original rendition of the model. We’ve seen Jordan Brand release more originals as of late in addition to its consistent crop of retros.

The key takeaway here, though, is that this is a regional drop. As mentioned, the Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” will launch exclusively in Europe.

The Air Jordan 4 “Light Army” is set to be available online from European stores for Holiday 2026. Price tag is set at $220.

First Look at the Air Jordan 4 “Pink Thunder”

Pink is taking over the “Thunder” look on this upcoming Air Jordan 4. Made for women, the “Pink Thunder” keeps the black base people know from the series, but replaces the usual yellow with pink. It’s currently lined up for a December 2026 release.

Most of the upper is black, with pink worked in behind the netting, around the lace wings, and through parts of the midsole. It’s basically the familiar Thunder layout with a different accent color doing the work.

That color blocking goes back to 2006, when the original Air Jordan 4 “Thunder” arrived in black with bright yellow details. Jordan Brand has gone back to the same idea a few times since then, most notably with the “Red Thunder” and “White Thunder.”

This pair stays close to that same look. The pink is more muted than bright, so it stands out against the black without making the shoe feel completely different from the other Thunder releases.

The “Pink Thunder” will also be the first version from the Thunder series made specifically for women. Women’s, preschool, and toddler sizes are expected.

Air Jordan 4 Pink Thunder Release Date

The Air Jordan 4 “Pink Thunder” releases December 19, 2026, for $220 in women’s sizing.

Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green” 2026 First Look

The Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green” returns in 2026 for the first time since 2005. It’s been a long time since this white and green pair was on shelves, and now it’s finally coming back.

White leather covers most of the upper, with Forest Green filling in the midsole, heel, tongue trim, and other smaller details throughout the shoe. Grey accents also show up around the tongue and branding, keeping the color blocking close to the original pair.

The Ferrari-inspired shape is still the main draw here, especially with the green working its way around the midsole and into the shield logos on the sides. The heel keeps the familiar Jumpman and “23” setup, while white underfoot finishes off the look.

For longtime Jordan fans, this one is more about the era than any famous game or story tied to the shoe. The “Forest Green” has always been a straightforward colorway, and bringing it back in its original style gives 2005 collectors another pair to revisit.

Air Jordan 14 Forest Green 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 14 “Forest Green” releases October 31, 2026 in adult and grade school sizing. Retail is set at $215 for adults and $155 for GS pairs.

First Look at the Air Jordan 5 “Halloween”

Halloween is still a couple months away, but Jordan Brand already has an Air Jordan 5 ready for October. The new “Halloween” pair sticks with a mostly black setup, with glow-in-the-dark details and bright accents giving it the seasonal look.

Black suede makes up most of the upper, covering the toe, side panels, collar, and surrounding overlays. The same dark finish continues across the laces, eyelets, mesh panels, tongue, and midsole, leaving the brighter details to do most of the talking.

Glow-in-the-dark green shows up on the Jumpman logos on each tongue, the embroidered “23” near the heel, and the Nike Air branding on the back. The translucent outsole also glows in the dark, which ends up being one of the biggest details connecting the shoe to its Halloween theme.

Picante Red breaks up the black midsole across the signature shark teeth, finished with black speckles throughout. More red can be found behind the tongues, where “XXIII” stitching adds another small detail that is easy to miss at first glance.

The combination stays pretty simple overall. Rather than covering the Air Jordan 5 in obvious Halloween graphics, the black suede, glowing green branding, red accents, and icy outsole are enough to carry the theme.

Air Jordan 5 Halloween 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 5 “Halloween” releases October 17, 2026 in family sizing through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. Adult pairs will retail for $220.

Nike Air Max Joga Bonito “Black/University Red” Releases September 2026

The Nike Air Max Joga Bonito is set for another release in September, this time in a mostly black “Black/University Red” colorway. Black and charcoal make up nearly the entire shoe, with white Swooshes and a few red details doing most of the contrasting.

There’s more variation in the upper than the color palette suggests. Different synthetic panels bring in glossy, matte, and slightly patterned finishes, especially around the toe and along the sides. Dark piping follows the layered shape of the shoe, and the black laces and lining keep the overall look pretty uniform.

The white Swoosh is the clearest break from all that black. Smaller branding appears near the heel, while University Red shows up around the tongue, on the insoles, and in sections of the outsole. You can also see a dark red tint through the larger Air unit at the heel.

Several visible Air chambers run through the midsole, which stays black from front to back. Combined with the stacked upper and heavy tooling, that cushioning gives the Joga Bonito its familiar bulky shape.

The Nike Air Max Joga Bonito “Black/University Red” releases September 3, 2026, for $180.
