The UEFA Champions League is almost done, but sneaker fans know the real final is coming this December. That’s right—the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) kicks off in Morocco on December 21st, and Nike’s lacing up something special.

Meet the rumored AFCON x Nike Air Max Plus—a sneaker so proud, it might sing a national anthem. The leak comes from Instagram’s Air Max whisperer, @BubbleKoppe. According to the post, Nike is channeling the spirit of African football into one seriously eye-catching pair.

Expect the classic Tuned Air design but with an AFCON makeover. The colorway? A perfect pitch of White, Black, Kelly Green, and University Red—an homage to the Confederation of African Football logo. If you love flag-inspired flair, this one’s waving you down.

No official photos yet, but Nike’s past nods to African culture—like Nigeria’s Homecoming Festival—suggest they’re not just kicking a ball here. They’re scoring with meaning.

The AFCON x Nike Air Max Plus is expected to release in Spring 2026 at Nike.com and select retailers. Whether you’re in the stands or styling on the streets, this sneaker’s a win.

Nike Football (Soccer) is going full celebration mode with the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite “Solar Red”, a fiery nod to the Air Max 95s 30th anniversary. That’s right—three decades of visible Air magic now finds its way onto the pitch. Who says football boots can’t flex heritage?

The cleat’s wildest feature? A Zoom Air unit stamped with “1995” and “2025,” bridging sneaker history like a wearable time machine. The iridescent outsole screams style, while the color-shifting overlays give off serious “midnight jungle rave” energy.

Nike ditched the old-school greyscale for vivid Solar Red accents—seen on the Swooshes, heel text, and tongue badge. The red hits aren’t shy, but let’s be honest, neither is your game. And just when you thought it couldn’t get cooler, they threw in a matching drawstring bag that practically yells, “I got exclusive heat.”

Priced at $310, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite “Solar Red” drops May 12, 2025 on Nike.com and select football retailers. Lace up and make history—Air Max style.

This celebratory cleat connects the worlds of retro runners and elite football boots. A bold tribute that’s ready to score on and off the pitch.

If you thought the Jordan Heir couldn’t get any bolder, think again. The Jordan Heir “Bloodline” colorway is here—and it’s loud. Borrowing the famous red, black, and white combo that made Chicago legends, this version isn’t just a tribute—it’s a full-on remix.

You’ll spot the fiery red highlights lighting up the pull-tabs and side trim, giving real “I came to win” energy. The black and white base stays clean and classic, letting the crimson pop like a dunk contest finale. Nike calls it a celebration of Jordan heritage, but we call it a glow-up.

Beneath all that style? Serious performance. This sneaker still packs herringbone traction for grip, a drop-in midsole for cushy landings, and a sculpted support cage that looks like it belongs on a spaceship. (We see you, NASA.)

The Jordan Heir “Bloodline” release May 2025 for just $110. Available on Nike.com and at select retailers.

Limited Air Jordan 9 UNC PE Revealed

May 6, 2025

If you’re hoping to cop this Air Jordan 9 UNC PE 2025, we’ve got bad news and worse news. First, only around 50 pairs exist. Second, you’re probably not getting one unless your last name ends in “Bacot” or you can dunk from the free-throw line.

This exclusive UNC Jordan 9 PE was gifted to the University of North Carolina men’s basketball team during the past season. Because nothing says team spirit like a pair of Jordans the public can’t have. Thanks to English Sole, we now have a full, jealousy-inducing look.

The shoe sports a white leather base with glossy University Blue patent leather wrapping the mudguard and heel. Hits of navy land on the lining, tongue branding, and outsole. The tongue proudly displays “UNC” so everyone knows these aren’t your average mall Jordans.

The number “23” on the heel adds that MJ stamp of approval, because of course it does. The detailing on this Air Jordan 9 UNC Player Exclusive makes it crystal clear: these weren’t meant for the masses.

In conclusion, unless you’re suiting up in Chapel Hill, these Tar Heels Jordan sneakers are more fantasy than future pickup. But hey, we can still stare and dream.
