Rhyne Howard Unveils Meaningful Jordan Tatum 4 PE

Rhyne Howard unveiled her latest Jordan Tatum 4 PE at an Atlanta Dreams matchup against the New York Liberty on Thursday. Unlike most player/team sneakers, this shoe pays homage to multiple people and causes close to Howard’s heart.

Purple is used to represent lupus awareness and one of Howard’s best friends. Teal represents her grandmother who passed away from scleroderma. Blue is an homage to former Kentucky teammate and friend Terrence Clarke.

Shoes like this also typically have some type of personal inscription inside of them too. “Find A Way” is written on the shoe as it was Howard’s way of telling herself to protect her peace, stay grounded, and keep pursuing joy during her hardships.

She’s still heavily involved with the creation of her Jordan Brand Player Exclusives, collaborating with the design team on concepts, colorways and personal references for each pair.

Overall this Tatum 4 that was designed for more than just syncing up with an Atlanta jersey. It comes complete with nods to her family and friends, while also giving Howard another unique look to wear on the hardwood. A public release is not expected.

Nike A’Two Joins Nike By You With Custom Branding Options

Nike By You welcomes the A’Two by A’ja Wilson on June 15, 2026. The shoe will allow players to create their own version of Wilson’s latest signature shoe with Nike By You as summer running seasons ramp up.

Nike still hasn’t shown the full customization menu, so the exact colors, textures, and patterns are unknown for now. Past Nike By You drops usually give buyers plenty to work with, just not enough freedom to rebuild a regular retail colorway piece for piece.

Custom forefoot branding is the key detail already confirmed for the Nike By You A’Two. The regular “TOP” and “TIER” hits can be replaced with personal text, or buyers can swap that space for a Swoosh logo. It gives the performance model a more personal touch without moving too far away from the shoe’s original design language.

Wilson’s Nike signature line continues to expand beyond standard launches, and adding the A’Two to Nike By You gives the model a stronger connection to everyday hoopers. The timing also works well, with summer leagues, camps, and outdoor sessions getting underway.

The Nike By You A’Two releases globally on June 15th at 12 PM ET exclusively through Nike.com. The retail price is set at $170 USD.

Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” Releases June 26th

UPDATE 6/12/26: From Charlotte to LA, the Kobe Bryant Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” is set to release on June 26th via SNKRS for $145 USD. Check out the official photos below.

Original Story 3/17/26:
That moment in June 1996 still defines Kobe Bryant’s legacy, and Nike continues to build on that story with the next step in its Protro evolution.

After reshaping performance retros, Nike is now applying the Protro concept to lifestyle icons. The Dunk Low is the latest model to receive that upgrade, following earlier moves with silhouettes like the Air Force 1. This shift blends classic design with modern tech, staying true to Kobe’s mindset of constant improvement.

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” centers around the night he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets and quickly traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s a pivotal moment that instantly changed his career path, and this pair reflects that transition through its design details.

Compared to early leaked looks, updated images highlight major upgrades. The shoe features a drop-in React foam setup for better comfort, along with a redesigned traction pattern that includes Kobe’s sheath logo and a snakeskin-inspired texture. Additional padding on the tongue and lining improves the overall feel, while refreshed materials elevate the build.

One of the standout elements is the wear-away detailing on the Swoosh and heel. The upper shifts from teal to yellow over time, symbolizing the rapid change that defined Kobe’s draft night.

Kobe Bryant Nike Dunk Low “Draft Day” Release Date

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Dunk Low Protro “Draft Day” will release June 26, 2026 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $145 USD.

SP5DER x adidas F50 Formotion “Silver Metallic” Releases June 2026

SP5DER and adidas are extending their partnership, now incorporating Young Thug’s understated label style into the F50 lineup. Paying homage to the Adizero F50 Formotion, SP5DER’s take on the silhouette will come in a “Silver Metallic” colorway.

This drop isn’t a typical football boot crossover. Instead, the shoe maintains the fast-paced influences of the F50, but blurs them through a style reminiscent of a 2000s adidas runner. Low cut silhouette, layered upper and chunky Formotion sole mix to give the shoe that technical look we’ve seen adidas embrace recently, particularly as football inspired sneakers continue to evolve past the pitch.

Silver Metallic dominates most of the upper, with accents of Core Black and Bright Red providing some nice contrast. Branding of SP5DER can be found on the tongue and heels, while a spider-shaped hangtag links back to the label one more time. F50 logos around the forefoot help tie the football aspect together.

Lamine Yamal was front and center for the shoe’s reveal right before the international break, bringing in a current adidas Football face for the launch.

The SP5DER x adidas F50 Formotion “Silver Metallic” is expected to launch in June 2026 through KINGSPIDER.co, select retailers and adidas.com.

Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low Looksee Sample Surfaces

We’re seeing yet another potentially eye-catching Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low surface, revealing an early peek at an unreleased option from the duo’s popular 2021 release.

This early “looksee” sample, surfaced by @xcverum and @curators.official, adopts a considerably darker aesthetic than the Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low that was officially released in White, Black, Royal, and Sail. Sporting royal blue suede on the toe box and heel, black nubuck overlays cover each area for a sleeker, darker aesthetic. White leather is used for both the heel tab and reverse Swoosh for crisp contrast while still maintaining recognizable Fragment and Cactus Jack DNA.

After recently seeing Hiroshi Fujiwara wearing an unreleased black/navy Travis Scott x Fragment Air Jordan 1 Low, some wondered if this sample was related. With the photos being too grainy to confirm an exact match, there’s a prevailing thought that Fujiwara’s version might showcase a double Swoosh.

As of this moment, this Travis Scott x Fragment Air Jordan 1 sample isn’t slated for a release. Still, given that prior Travis Scott samples have ultimately dropped, it’s not impossible.

Air Jordan 1 Low Joins The “Bloodline” Family

Another black and red AJ1, the Air Jordan 1 Low “Bloodline”, is slated for a Summer 2026 release by Jordan Brand.

Dark suede covers majority of the main footbed and overlays. Red stitching is splattered around the toe box, eyestays, quarters, Swoosh, heel tab and Wings logo. While this shoe is not covered in red like some we have seen.

It’s that hint of red that gives us the correlation to the “Bloodline” series that started with the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 12 primarily. Each colorway utilized red accents around the whole shoe.

Red is used on the Jumpman logo embroidered on the tongue. Black details on the lace locks, tongue and lining help break up the black/red color scheme. White midsole helps your eye rest and a black rubber outsole adorns the shoe to keep it looking timeless.

You can cop your pair of Air Jordan 1 Low “Bloodline” shoes during Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers.

Win A Pair Of OG Anunoby’s Skechers Nexus “NYC Blue” Sneakers

UPDATE 6/12/26: Skechers is honoring OG Anunoby’s magnificent tip-in by giving away a pair of his sneakers. During Game 4 of the NBA Finals, OG was wearing the Skechers Nexus “NYC Blue.” You can enter the giveaway on the Skechers Instagram.

Original Story 6/11/26:
OG Anunoby’s latest Skechers PE now has an impressive Finals story behind it.

While wearing the Skechers SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE during New York’s 107-106 Game 4 victory over San Antonio at Madison Square Garden, Anunoby helped the Knicks erase a 29-point deficit in the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. The Knicks-inspired player-exclusives features a bold royal blue upper accented with orange trim.

Anunoby delivered the final play with 1.2 seconds left. After inbounding the ball to Jalen Brunson, he crashed the glass on Brunson’s missed three and put back the game-winner. That sequence instantly gave the “NYC Blue” PE more weight than a standard on-court exclusive.

The Skechers SKX Nexus 01 PE is decked out in a complete blue scheme across its mesh upper, midsole, and outsole. Orange accents are placed on the laces, lace loops, tongue branding and heel logo. A two-tone Skechers “S” is embroidered onto the lateral heel while SKX Nexus 01 branding is printed along the side panel. With Anunoby’s OG logo on the tongue tag, these sneakers are undeniably tied to his player exclusives.

This isn’t the only unique Skechers pair Anunoby has sported throughout the series. He wore a Timberland-inspired PE earlier in the Finals as well, helping Skechers get some extra shine as the brand continues carving out its space in basketball via player-exclusive moments.

For now it looks like the OG Anunoby x Skechers SKX Nexus “NYC Blue” PE will remain Anunoby’s pair only. No release date or retail drop has been confirmed. Unless Skechers says something else, we will remember this pair as the blue PE Anunoby wore while rescuing New York’s season.

Clot x adidas Samba Espadrille Kicks Off A World Cup Summer

The adidas Originals x CLOT Samba Espadrille by Edison Chen returns for Summer 2026 in three colorways: Classic Black, Grass Green, and Floral Pink. The collection releases June 18, 2026, with U.S. availability starting the evening of June 17th through JUICESTORE.COM and select JUICE channels.

Keeping with the Samba’s low-cut football-inspired silhouette, the sneaker features a suede T- stitched toe cap and gold tongue tab branding. CLOT’ s signature woven espadrille footbed does most of the talking here, giving the shoe a breathier feel for summer while still offering heaps of terrace credibility.

Classic Black is certainly the most familiar iteration, working with lightweight nylon and contrast details. Grass Green gives us closer to pitch-side cuts with Football Club themes integrated throughout. Floral Pink takes things softer with premium leather and a pastel coating. It’s easily the most lifestyle-leaning play of the group.

Completing CLOT’ Football Club Capsule Collection will be jerseys, shorts, T-shirts, and lightweight jackets. Following suit with the three colorways, apparel items highlight rose graphics, dragon art, custom crests, and “MMIII” branding referencing the founding of CLOT in 2003.

The full adidas Originals x CLOT Samba Espadrille by Edison Chen collection will release on June 18, 2026 exclusively via JUICE retail locations and online channels.

Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” Now Available

UPDATE 6/12/26: A full size run of the “Toro Bravo” Air Jordan 4s are available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/15/25:
The Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” is officially set to return in May 2026, bringing back one of the most recognizable non-OG colorways in the model’s history. Thirteen years after its debut, the bold red classic is finally getting its first true retro, and anticipation is already building.

Originally released in 2013, the Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” stood out for its Bulls-inspired energy and its link to the “Raging Bull” theme. While not part of an official pack, the similarity gave it instant cultural weight. Over time, the Toro 4 became a symbol of Jordan Brand’s willingness to push color beyond traditional heritage tones.

The 2026 edition stays faithful to the original blueprint. However, the red nubuck appears slightly more muted, and the shape reflects Jordan Brand’s current AJ4 tooling. The Jumpman heel logo remains, which continues to divide purists who prefer Nike Air branding. Still, the overall execution feels respectful and intentional.

Compared to recent Air Jordan 4 releases, this retro leans more nostalgic than experimental. It balances classic styling with modern refinement, which is exactly what many collectors want from a true return.

Air Jordan 4 Toro 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo” releases May 30, 2026 in family sizing for $220 USD in men’s. Look for pairs at Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

Travis Scott Drops His Nike Total 90 Collection

UPDATE 6/12/26: The Travis Scott x Nike Total 90 gear is officially out today, with jerseys, jackets, hoodies, tees, and hats for ten big World Cup nations (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Croatia, England, France, Korea, Netherlands, Portugal, USA). You can grab items from this collection right now on the Travis Scott site. No footwear has been revealed yet, as of this writing.

Original Story 6/10/26:
Set for a June 11, 2026 launch, the Cactus Jack x Nike Total 90 Collection will release through CactusJack.com. The project was first teased in Nike’s “Rip the Script” commercial, where Travis appeared in a brown Cactus Jack T90 shirt.

The drop continues Travis’ Nike Football run following the Cactus Jack World Cup release, which included a bright green Nike Phantom 6 cleat and an indoor soccer shoe. This next chapter shifts attention to Total 90, a line closely tied to Nike’s 2000s soccer identity and a name that still carries weight with football fans.

Travis shared a new preview on Instagram showing 10 T90 Swoosh logos in country-inspired colors. The teams referenced include Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, England, France, Korea, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the USA. That points to a wider World Cup theme, though Nike and Cactus Jack have not confirmed the full product lineup yet.

Footwear and matching gear for each country would not be surprising, especially with Nike leaning into national team collections around the 2026 World Cup. For now, that part remains unconfirmed. Retail pricing, style codes, sizing, and wider launch details have also not been announced.

The Travis Scott Cactus Jack x Nike Total 90 Collection launches tomorrow, June 11, 2026, at CactusJack.com. More details should be revealed soon.

Nike Air Max 1 “Texas Rangers” Honors The Spirit Of Tejas

The Nike Air Max 1 “Texas Rangers” continues Nike’s City Connect series. Sporting a prominent red palette, this eye-catching sneaker celebrates Texas culture while acknowledging Mexican influences. The shoe drops June 17th, 2026, at Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sneaker Politics, and Nike will have them soon after. Expect a retail price of $150 USD.

Drawing from the Rangers’ “Tejas” City Connect alternate uniform, this Air Max 1 features a striking red base with Sail Swooshes and a prominent, oversized red midsole that sports an aged look. Across the toe and collar, you’ll find embossed patterns, and other touches draw from Mexican art, charro traditions, and the papel picado designs from their alternate look.

Nike also made sure to add a few baseball-centric details. The tongue features “TEJAS” branding, the toe box sports MLB lace dubraes, and the insoles showcase a Texas-shaped graphic. On the rear of the shoe, the heels are embroidered with “Viva” and “Tejas” to further link the pair to the jersey they were shown with.

The Nike Air Max 1 “Texas Rangers” serves as the final installment in Nike’s MLB City Connect series, celebrating a team deeply woven into the cultural fabric of the league. Look for the release on June 17th, 2026 at select retailers, followed by Nike.com.

Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.0 “Night Navy” Releases Fall 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 Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.0 “Night Navy” will drop September 15, 2026 at select retailers and online at adidas.com. It will retail for $160 USD and will be available in men’s sizing.

Caitlin Clark Debuts Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE Inspired By Taylor Swift Eras Tour

Caitlin Clark’s latest Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE brings a little pop-star energy to the hardwood.

The Indiana Fever guard recently debuted a new player-exclusive Kobe 6 Protro against the Chicago Sky, and the colorway appears to nod to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Clark, a well-known Swift fan, wore a pair dressed in a bright gradient mix of pink, yellow, and green across the upper, giving the shoe a colorful look similar to the tour’s visuals and stage themes.

Navy accents land on the tongue, heel, and midsole, helping balance out the louder upper. The tongue also features Kobe branding in a soft baby blue shade, adding another personal touch to the PE.

She attended back-to-back Eras Tour shows at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in 2024, making this theme feel like a natural fit for one of her final Kobe Bryant PE designs.

This pair is also notable because it could be the last Caitlin Clark Nike Kobe PE before Nike shifts attention to her own signature line. Clark recently said her first Nike signature shoe is coming “very, very soon,” with a Holiday 2026 release currently expected.

With her impact on women’s basketball and her growing crossover appeal, Clark’s first signature sneaker already has major potential. For now, this “Eras Tour”-inspired Kobe 6 Protro PE gives fans one more standout look before her signature era officially begins.

New Balance 1954R “Black” Goes Full Stealth Mode

The New Balance 1954R “Black” is lined up for Summer 2026, with a release expected through NewBalance.com and select retailers. Pricing has not been confirmed yet, and sizing details have not been announced.

New Balance keeps this pair deep in blackout territory, but it is not just a flat all-black runner. The upper mixes open mesh with suede and glossy patent-style overlays, giving the 1954R a darker, more dressed-up look than some of the brand’s usual retro-inspired models. The shine across the overlays adds shape to the shoe without breaking from the tonal theme.

Small details carry most of the branding. A black “N” logo blends into the side panels, while “1954R” embroidery appears on the tongue and near the collar. Inside the shoe, the insole adds the only real contrast with “Heritage Running,” “new balance,” and “1954” branding in red, white, and grey.

The heel brings the most technical feel to the design. A glossy black cage wraps the back of the shoe, finished with layered cutouts and silver New Balance branding. Below that, the blackout setup continues with a black ABZORB-style midsole and matching rugged outsole.

The New Balance 1954R “Black” fits right into the brand’s current lane of sport-built lifestyle runners, but the patent shine gives this one a sharper edge. Expect the pair to release in Summer 2026 via NewBalance.com and select retailers.

adidas Anthony Edwards 3 Mule “Bliss Blue” Releases Fall 2026

The adidas Anthony Edwards 3 Mule “Bliss Blue” is expected to release in September 2026 for $70 through adidas.com and select retailers, giving Anthony Edwards’ signature line a slip-on option outside the main basketball models.

This pair connects back to the adidas Anthony Edwards 3 “Cold Blooded”, another September 2026 release with the same icy direction. Instead of building that look around a performance sneaker, adidas applies it to a molded mule made for recovery, casual wear, and off-court rotation.

Bliss Blue covers the smooth top panel and shows through the five carved openings along the side. Sky Tint takes over the shell, keeping the base light and frosted, while Grey Metallic trim wraps the upper and separates the two main sections.

The small Anthony Edwards logo near the front keeps the branding minimal. Most of the shape does the talking here, from the rounded toe to the sculpted side cuts and raised wave pattern underfoot.

The adidas Anthony Edwards 3 Mule “Bliss Blue” feels like a natural extension of Ant’s growing adidas world. It keeps the aggressive design language from his signature shoes, but tones it down into something easier to wear before or after hooping.

Disney x Crocs Classic Clog “Lilo & Stitch” Releases June 26th

Disney and Crocs continue releasing characters in celebration of their full-amily collab collection. Coming June 26, 2026 is the adorable Lilo & Stitch Classic Clog. The full-amily inspired theme combines both halves of Disney’s quirky duo into one footwear silhouette. Stitch’s blue hues decorate the upper while Lilo’s red flowery dress wraps across the footbed and lower stretch panel.

Blue leads the way on this Croc as Stitch takes priority on the upper. Tonal graphics of the iconic alien character covers the shoe in multiple dancing positions. Stitch themed details are even embossed on the strap hardware at the ankle.

Lilo’s signature look takes over the bottom half with a red base and yellow flower print inspired by her Hawaiian dress. That split between blue and red gives the clog a clear two-character theme instead of simply placing Disney graphics across the shoe.

Character Jibbitz charms round out the release with Lilo and Stitch details across the upper. Crocs has leaned heavily into licensed collaborations over the years, and this pair fits right into that lane with a bright, summer-ready design made for kids, adults, and collectors who follow Disney footwear drops.

The Disney x Crocs Classic Clog “Lilo & Stitch” will release June 26, 2026 through Crocs.com and select retailers in-store and online. Sizing will be available for adults, grade school, and toddlers, with prices set at $70, $55, and $50.
