Nike Air Max Sunder Comes In A Gradient “Cave Stone”

Nike is poised to take things seasonal with this Air Max Sunder for Fall 2025

The upper on this silhouette is the usual Sunder zippered shroud over a sock-like inner. This houses brown accents on the zipper, piping, and plastic mudguard. Contrast sails of off-white Sail make the boot’s midsole, lining, and insoles.

Light Bone TPR pods peeking through the darker overlays of this sneaker offer a bit of contrast. The outsole keeps things balanced on the foot with a split of Sail and brown as well.

The range of textures and tones this one’s got in particular for colder temps in the rotation. That zip-up design has been around long enough to warrant some vintage vibes.

The Nike Air Max Sunder “Cave Stone/Sail” is releasing Fall 2025 retailing for $180 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Goes Dark Mode In “Off-Noir/Cave Purple”

The Nike Air Zoom Spiridon is making a comeback in Fall 2025 with a new design direction.

Off-Noir is the primary color for the mesh base and tongue, while the shoe’s iconic textured leather mudguard is swapped out with a more robust canvas option. It’s a small change that updates the Spiridon while still retaining its late ’90s edge.

Toe-boxes are also clad with suede Swoosh logos in place of the usual metallic silver finish for the line. Details like the reflective piping and eyelets carry over from past colorways to keep a signature element of the Spiridon’s DNA intact. White for the midsole offsets the upper for a crisp contrast, while the brown gum outsole unifies the entire package with a lifestyle-ready finish.

Retailing at $170 USD, the Nike Air Zoom Spiridon “Off-Noir/Cave Purple” will launch Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Mixing heritage references with modern material updates, the sneaker should work for both collectors and everyday users.

City Jeans x adidas Gazelle “Diamond in the Rough” Celebrates Bronx Resilience

City Jeans and adidas have partnered on a new project that centers on the Bronx. The adidas Gazelle “Diamond in the Rough” celebrates the determination and talent cultivated from struggle.

The limited-release Gazelle dons a black tear-away nylon upper that is suspended over a powder blue suede base layer. The juxtaposition of the two materials speak to an exterior toughness hiding beauty and ingenuity waiting to be uncovered. The use of reflective Three Stripes and a diamond-patterned tongue brings more visual depth to the overall narrative. It’s one of the most well-conceived Gazelle collaborations in recent years.

This means a lot for a brand like City Jeans, which has long been an institution in the Bronx since the 1990s. COO Ben Winrauke called it a “love letter” to the borough’s community that fuels them every day. Head Buyer Eric Canals also attributed the project to his own experiences growing up in the Bronx. He stated it shows “diamonds shining through struggle.” This personal connection makes the sneaker a statement, not just a product.

The “Diamond in the Rough” moniker, on the other hand, is meant to shine a light on people who emerge from seemingly invisible places to make an impact on culture, sports, and music. Dave East is one such Bronx-native emcee, so the sneaker’s intent resonates on an even deeper level. That’s a detail that will be well-received by sneakerheads and locals alike.

The City Jeans x adidas Gazelle “Diamond in the Rough” releases soon for $130. Pairs will be available exclusively at City Jeans locations across New York and online at cityjeans.com.

Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” Inspired By Her NBA 2K Cover

The Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” releases this Holiday 2025, fresh off Sabrina Ionescu becoming the cover athlete of NBA 2K24. Nike is bridging that feat with her heritage, bringing her impact on the court to life via a fashionable sneaker.

Sabrina Ionescu NBA 2K24 Cover

Featuring a vibrant green mesh upper for a light and airy fit, this variant of the Sabrina 3 is accented with a marbled, multi-color Swoosh down the sides. Purple highlights show on the tongue lining and heel tab as well, with her signature “S” logo stamped on the tongue to mark the shoe as a player-exclusive piece. Underfoot, black Zoom Air midsole tech offers responsive cushioning that ensures this shoe can perform on the court as well.

The color palette is drawn from Ionescu’s NBA 2K24 WNBA cover, which saw a radial gradient of green, purple, and blue tones. Nike has utilized the same colors to pay homage to her on-court success being spotlighted like never before. The overlap between basketball lore and gaming culture is rare to come by for sneakerheads.

From a storytelling perspective, the “Gamer” Sabrina 3 symbolizes resilience and creativity, echoing Ionescu’s role as a new face of the league. This is one of the freshest player-inspired drops we’ve seen from Nike Basketball in years.

Nike Sabrina 3 Gamer Release Date

Look for the Nike Sabrina 3 “Gamer” to release during Holiday 2025 in extended unisex sizing, priced at $145. Expect availability through Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike AlphaFly 3 Motivates You To “Pick Up The Pace”

The Nike AlphaFly 3 “Pick Up The Pace” starts Fall 2025 road racing on a new note.

Nike’s signature marathon shoe returns in a “White/Soft Pearl/Hyper Crimson/Black” colorway, a perfect balance of energy and minimalism. The vibrant combination takes center stage on the ZoomX midsole, where the majority of the shoe’s color-blocking lives.

Asymmetrical Swooshes layered on the knit upper bring a playful edge to the shoe’s performance-oriented base. But, it’s that “Pick Up the Pace” spray-paint style script across both heels that sets this drop apart. An element of motivation made instantly visible.

The Alphafly series has made a name for itself since its record-smashing launch. The line has quickly become a hallmark of Nike’s racing supremacy. This third iteration builds on the legacy with elite-level cushioning and a focus on self-expression. Function and statement coexist here.

Nike releases the AlphaFly 3 “Pick Up The Pace” for Fall 2025 for $295 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Toy Story’s Lotso Appears On The Crocs Classic Clog

Toy Story’s Lotso makes a cozy return through a playful Crocs Collaboration.

The Clog is covered in plush fur, starting with its Croslite™ base. The bear’s face is on the toe, printed with Lotso’s signature 3D ears and bulbous eyes. The fur strap is also purple-pink, and embroidered strawberries reference his strawberry-scented background from Toy Story 3. There’s a certain storytelling layer on this clog that sets it apart from the usual character collab.

For what it’s worth, past Crocs x Disney collabs weren’t all cuddly. This time, Crocs went all in on creating something warm and fuzzy (literally), but that also won’t skimp on playfulness. Sneakerheads will find this pair a bit more nostalgic and practical for daily wear, as well as collector-friendly for fans, than previous Disney x Crocs sneakers.

The Lotso x Crocs Classic Clog will drop September 23, 2025, for $90 at Crocs.com and some retailers.

Under Armour Curry Series 7 “Cotton Candy” Releases September 26th

The Under Armour Curry Series 7 “Cotton Candy” is here, and it’s packed with pastel colors and playful graphics.

The sneaker’s midsole transitions from speckled blue at the heel to electric pink as it approaches the midfoot, embodying the fuzzy sweet treat’s look. Bold orange toes, zig-zag green graphics, and a light blue mesh upper help keep the energy high. Inside, a purple lining and metallic silver overlays finish the fiery look.

Where this shoe really delivers, though, is on the court. Borrowing from recent running “super shoe” designs, the Curry Series 7 has a Pebax midfoot plate for stability and Under Armour’s UA Flow cushioning for speed and comfort. Hoopers have already declared this the most powerful Curry shoe to date. This futuristic sneaker doesn’t sacrifice performance to do it.

The Under Armour Curry Series 7 “Cotton Candy” will be available on September 26, 2025, for $160 at UnderArmour.com and select retailers.

Sneak Around The Court In The Nike KD 18 “Triple Black”

Nike’s KD 18 “Triple Black” returns Durant’s signature series in a modern, stealth-inspired look.

Decked head-to-toe in black, the upper features layered mesh and hardy overlays along with reflective TPU ribs that wrap the foot and act as lace support. It’s a nod to previous all-black KD iterations with an updated aggressive edge.

KD’s signature logo in metallic silver on the tongue, reflective Swooshes on the heel, and the “EASY” badge that references Durant’s “Easy Money Sniper” nickname are the details sneakerheads will spot first. Underfoot, a wavy traction pattern and Air Zoom cushioning provide responsiveness for players who crave control.

This iteration is a callback to the hard-nosed aesthetic of classic hoop sneakers. This sneaker shows that blacked-out colorways always have game. Whether worn on the court or as a street-style favorite, this sneaker checks both those boxes.

The Nike KD 18 “Triple Black” drops Fall 2025 for $155 on Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Max 95 Ultra Joins Iconic “Neon” Colorways

The Nike Air Max 95 Ultra “Neon” brings back a heritage style in a lighter, more refined package.

Announced for Fall 2025, this AM95 is a reboot of the 1995 OG known for its multi-layered upper and its visible Air cushioning technology. The new version keeps that DNA while updating it for the modern era.

The upper is composed of grey gradients, breathable mesh and synthetic overlays for strength. Neon Volt trim livens up the lace eyelets, tongue branding, heel Swoosh and Air units. The design, which channels the OG’s “Neon” colorway, remains one of the most popular Air Max colorways to date.

The “Neon” sees an Ultra treatment on the Air Max 95 for a lighter, more streamlined silhouette for added comfort. The black outsole adds grip, while the visible Air units burst with neon green.

Shop Nike Air Max 95 Ultra “Neon” online at Nike.com and selected retailers for $170 when they drop Fall 2025.

Nike Air Max 1 “Phantom/Sanded Purple” Returns With OG Style

The Nike Air Max 1 “Phantom/Sanded Purple” is an updated take on Tinker Hatfield’s seminal 1987 silhouette.

The latest Air Max 1 release is part of Nike’s steady rollout of new colorways, offering up understated contrasts with a daring touch. Phantom suede overlays contrast with white mesh upper while Sanded Purple accents appear on the Swoosh, mudguard and heel branding.

That combination also nods to the sneaker’s history of blending function with fashion. Visible in the midfoot, the Air unit was a first-of-its-kind unit when it debuted and remains comfortable. It also flaunts its heritage. The outsole, meanwhile, meshes black, white and purple in a classic take on Air Max DNA with a seasonally updated twist.

Nike fans will also take note of how the color palette’s more muted tones give the purple a chance to shine while not being too overbearing. That versatility also lends this drop a more casual feel for streetwear and sneaker collector alike.

The Nike Air Max 1 “Phantom/Sanded Purple” drops Fall 2025 for $145 at Nike.com and key retailers.

GANNI x New Balance 1906L Releases September 24th

The GANNI x New Balance 1906L is the latest take on the slip-on silhouette dropping this fall. Set for release September 24th, the collaboration marries Danish design with New Balance’s athletic-focused style.

Yellow snakeskin on the toe and tongue is what makes this colorway pop. Golden pebbled texture is then accented by glossy black overlays. Chrome hardware gives the shoe a more futurist approach, while gum yellow heel and pull tab provide contrast. Overall, the silhouette feels like a sleek take on streetwear luxury, and shows the 1906L still has more style tricks up its sleeve.

For New Balance, this is the second major collaboration to drop on the 1906L. Junya Watanabe recently dropped a monochrome take on the silhouette last year, but the GANNI collab is a bolder collaboration. GANNI sneakerheads will likely appreciate the label adding its own playfulness to the design, while not deviating too much from the 1906L’s tech-forward roots.

The GANNI x New Balance 1906L drops September 24th via GANNI’s official online store. Expect a fast sellout based on snakeskin and luxury factor.

Usher Reveals Air Jordan 4 “Universe” Super Bowl PE

Usher recently dropped some pics of his Air Jordan 4 “Universe” PE that he was given in advance of his Super Bowl Halftime show performance. This one-of-one remixed Tinker Hatfield’s original ’89 design for a sci-fi future and R&B royalty.

The glossy black patent leather upper features holographic accents that change depending on the light you see it in. The electrifying green outsole is just another piece of eye candy for the mic on the biggest sports stage. The Usher “U” logo steps in for Jumpman branding on the heel, while a big “IV” adorns the tongue. More subtle nods to the event include hidden messages such as “It’s just 15 minutes” and more.

This isn’t the only Air Jordan 4 exclusives Usher received from Jordan Brand though. In fact, he even debuted a “Chrome” version on stage during the performance itself. While this pair went the way of viral “just-posted online”, sneaker culture lives for telling stories such as these. This happens to be the sweet spot where elite performance collides with street attitude and a client’s personality.

Don’t expect this shoe to make it to retail. Usher’s Air Jordan 4 “Universe” PE will likely remain one of one in his personal collection and another testament to Jordan Brand connecting sport, music, and culture for generations.

BAPE x Marvel Fantastic Four Collection Releases September 27th

Marvel and BAPE bring comic book legends to the streets with their Fantastic Four Collection 2025 capsule. Spotlights for each member of Marvel’s flagship family, as well as some old adversaries and allies, the collection remakes each hero, villain, and anti-hero in the BAPE STA silhouette.

In the collection, each model plays up its character’s traits. The Human Torch sizzles in a combo of red and yellow, while The Thing is all rugged in orange with an accent of blue. Galactus and Silver Surfer go cosmic in pink and blue, Doctor Doom’s kicks are made of green armor and different tones of metallic gray, while Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman keep it simple in blue and white. Marvel embroidery on the right heel contrasts character artwork on the left as a nod to previous Bapesta and BAPE x Marvel collabs from the last few years.

Graphic t-shirts that feature some of the same characters complete the capsule, giving fans a chance to match up with their shoes. It’s a nice touch that many BAPE followers will appreciate, as the brand usually assembles lifestyle capsules that form a full outfit around its hero-themed drops.
