Vince Carter’s Nike Shox BB4 OG “Black/Lapis” Returns Fall 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Shox BB4 OG “Black/Lapis” is coming back in Fall 2026, its first release since the 2019 retro. The original colorway will be available in men’s sizing for $190 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Black leather runs across the toe, tongue, and eyestays, while metallic silver covers most of the side panels and heel. Blue accents appear along the midsole and on the four exposed Shox columns in the rear. Dotted graphics near the toe and midfoot bring back another detail from the original design.

Eric Avar created the Shox BB4 for its 2000 launch, and was popularized by Vince Carter, using space suits and rocket ships as references. The influence comes through in the rounded upper, metallic finish, and mechanical-looking heel setup.

That exposed cushioning remains the part of the shoe people recognize first. Set beneath a black midsole with blue trim, the Shox pillars give the model the same early-2000s Nike Basketball look that separated it from other performance shoes of the era.

The Nike Shox BB4 OG “Black/Lapis” is expected to release August 28, 2026 at Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. The retail price is set at $190.

Nike Atelier Merc Premium Debuts July 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike Atelier is bringing one of its athlete-focused projects to retail with the Merc Premium, a bold hybrid created alongside a custom collection for French soccer star Désiré Doué. The sneaker is expected to release in July 2026 for $450, though Nike has not announced an exact date or confirmed where it will be sold.

Doué’s one-of-one apparel was designed for his first World Cup appearance and will remain exclusive to the athlete. The footwear, however, gives the public a chance to own part of the project—albeit at a price that places it among Nike’s most expensive releases of the year.

The Nike Atelier Merc Premium revives the shape of Ronaldo’s original Mercurial R9 from 1998. Its black leather upper keeps the streamlined look of the legendary soccer boot, which has recently influenced several Nike Cryoshot releases.

Underfoot, Nike swaps the Mercurial’s field-ready setup for the oversized cushioning used on the Pegasus Premium. ReactX and ZoomX foams work alongside full-length Air Zoom underneath.

Neither a traditional soccer boot nor a true running shoe, the Merc Premium lands firmly in the lifestyle category. The combination feels intentionally unconventional, linking a late-1990s football icon with one of Nike’s most advanced modern cushioning systems.

The Nike Atelier Merc Premium “Black/Game Royal” is currently expected to launch in July 2026 for $450. Release details remain limited, with sizing, retailers, and a firm launch date still to be announced.

Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low Samples Revealed

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 6/15/26: More Travis Scott x Fragment Air Jordan 1 Low samples have popped up. Following last week’s black/blue nubuck pair, two leather editions have now been unveiled. One is predominantly black with blue reverse Swooshes. The alternate colorway reverses the color scheme, offering a white shoe with blue overlays and black reverse Swooshes. As it stands, these sample shoes aren’t expected to hit the market.

Original Story 6/12/26:
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.

Pharrell x adidas Jellyfish “White” Releases July 15th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Chicago got an early crack at Pharrell’s adidas Jellyfish “Triple White” through a box truck release held ahead of the wider launch. The pair is currently expected to arrive July 15, 2026, through adidas and select retailers.

White takes over the shoe from top to bottom, covering its layered upper, oversized panels, and the extended framework running around the sides. It is a quieter colorway than most, which puts the attention back on the Jellyfish itself. There is plenty to look at, from the bulky proportions to the stacked pieces shaping its unusual profile.

Tonal finishes have already become a regular part of the model’s lineup. The “Triple White” pushes that idea to its simplest point without toning down the actual design.

The Pharrell x adidas Jellyfish “Triple White” is expected to release July 15, 2026. Pricing should remain at $300, although adidas has not confirmed the final launch details.

Timothee Chalamet Gets Exclusive BAPE STA “Knicks” Sneakers

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Timothée Chalamet joined the Knicks celebrations wearing Bape Sta sneakers made exclusively for him.

Chalamet’s Bape Sta sneakers were worn while courtside at Frost Bank Arena in a white patent leather colorway. Blue star branding adorned the shoes paying homage to New York as it mirrored the Knicks’ typical road color scheme.

It was later confirmed by Kevin Le, Brand Partnerships Manager at A Bathing Ape, that the sneakers were never an aftermarket customization. Instead, BAPE made them exclusively for Chalamet. They also unveiled a second colorway which bases the sneakers in black patent leather with contrast Knicks-inspired accents.

Apparently neither of the Timothée Chalamet x Bape Sta “Knicks” colorways will be seeing a retail release, remaining personal exclusives only.

Reebok ICECREAM Board Flip “Pale Cerulean” Returns 20 Years Later

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Reebok and ICECREAM are bringing back the Board Flip “Pale Cerulean,” a colorway last seen when the model debuted in 2006. The release starts July 2, 2026, through BBCICECREAM.com, followed by a wider launch on July 14.

Created during ICECREAM’s early years under Pharrell Williams and NIGO, the Board Flip sits firmly in the mid-2000s skate era. Its bulky build, loud colors, and cartoon branding reflected the crossover between skateboarding, music, and streetwear at the time.

The returning pair stays close to the original. Pale blue perforated leather covers most of the upper, with matching suede around the eyestays and a rubber toe cap up front. Yellow tongues and midsoles break up the tonal look.

ICECREAM’s Bones & Cones logo is stitched near the lateral heel. More branding appears on the tongue tags and heel tabs, while a skate-ready tread pattern finishes the outsole. The shoes will also come in custom packaging.

A Paris Fashion Week activation on June 24 will give the “Pale Cerulean” Board Flip an early spotlight. It is another reminder of how much of Pharrell and NIGO’s early ICECREAM work has found its way back into the current sneaker conversation.

The Reebok ICECREAM Board Flip “Pale Cerulean” releases July 2 at 10 AM ET on BBCICECREAM.com. Reebok.com and select retailers will carry the global release on July 14 at 10 AM ET.

Vans Authentic “Ibiza” Pack Now Available (June 2026)

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 6/1/26: The Vans Authentic “Ibiza” is available now through Vans.com for $110 in both black and blue. The red pair has yet to appear on the US site, but retailers including Extra Butter and Sneaker Politics currently have sizes available.

Original Story 5/26/26:
Greg Betty’s latest Vans work is already pushing the Authentic into weirder territory. Early images show a low-top pair covered in shaggy mixed-color panels, metal spikes, and small blue-toned studs. No release date, price, sizing, or retail plans have been confirmed, so this could still end up staying in sample territory.

The Greg Betty Vans Authentic keeps the familiar low-top build, but the usual simplicity is gone. Brown, rust, yellow, grey, and black fibers run across the upper with a rough, almost handmade finish. It looks worn-in from the jump, which feels intentional here.

Black suede covers the toe and side overlay, giving the hardware a darker base to sit on. Silver cone spikes wrap the toe and heel, while smaller jewel-like studs are scattered across the forefoot and side panel. The details lean punk without completely burying the Authentic shape underneath.

Cream laces, metal eyelets, and the small Vans side tag keep the shoe tied to the classic model. A floral-style trim around the collar adds an unexpected contrast against the rough fibers and spikes. The aged-looking midsole also plays into the same beat-up feel, instead of making the upper look like the only distressed part.

Greg Betty has become one of the few in-house sneaker designers that more dedicated fans actually recognize. His recent Vans work has helped make familiar silhouettes feel less predictable, and this pair follows that same lane without needing much explanation.

More details should arrive if the Greg Betty Vans Authentic moves past these early images. For now, it remains an unconfirmed look, but it is easily one of the more unusual Vans Authentic projects to surface in a while.

Nike By You Air Force 1 Low NYC “Knicks” Available Now

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike is marking the New York Knicks’ first NBA championship since 1973 with a customizable Air Force 1 Low. The Knicks-inspired “NYC” design is available now through Nike By You for $140.

Rush Blue and Safety Orange lead the customization palette, giving buyers several ways to build around the team’s familiar colors. Nike’s examples range from white-accented blue and orange pairs to bolder tonal versions with matching midsoles and outsoles.

The signature detail appears on the lateral heel, where large “NYC” lettering is crossed by a small Nike Swoosh. That city-specific graphic separates the design from a standard Nike By You release while keeping the Air Force 1’s classic leather construction intact.

Four sample colorways show how much the look can change within the limited palette. Available choices include contrasting Swooshes, white laces, gum rubber outsoles, white midsoles and fully tonal tooling.

The Nike By You Air Force 1 Low NYC “Knicks” is available now on Nike.com for $140. Each pair can be customized before ordering, allowing Knicks fans to create their own version of the championship-themed release.

Supreme x Martine Rose x Nike Dunk Low “Mike Tyson” Releases Fall 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Supreme x Martine Rose x Nike Dunk Low is shaping up to be one of the biggest three-way collaborations of Fall 2026, with Mike Tyson taking center stage.

The black leather Dunk features images of Tyson across both the lateral and medial sides. The artwork references his 1986 “Judgement Day” victory over Trevor Berbick, when the 20-year-old Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.

Beyond the bold graphics, the rest of the design stays relatively understated. Plush leather covers the near “Triple Black” upper, while stacked Supreme and Martine Rose branding appears on the heel. Gold detailing on the Nike tongue tag adds a championship-inspired finish, with additional Nike, Supreme, and Martine Rose logos printed on the insoles.

The release is also notable because Supreme is working with the standard Nike Dunk Low instead of the SB Dunk, the silhouette behind many of the brand’s most celebrated Nike collaborations.

This early pair appears to be a sample, so some details could change before the retail version arrives.

The Supreme x Martine Rose x Nike Dunk Low “Mike Tyson” is expected to release during Fall 2026 through Supreme, Martine Rose, and Nike. The shoe will be available in unisex sizing for $150.

Penny Hardaway’s Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 “Knicks” PE Releases Fall 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 6/15/26: Official photos of the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 “Knicks” have been added below. As a nod to Penny Hardaway’s 2004 PE, this retail release will include his “1 Cent” logo on the heels. As of now, a release date is currently expected September 11th, 2026.

Original Story 11/2/25:
The Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 “Penny Hardaway” PE is getting a retail release in Nike’s Fall 2026 season. First seen on Penny during his short stint with the New York Knicks in 2004, this player-exclusive pair is finally back to help relive the moment for early-2000s basketball junkies.

Sporting a Black, Blue, and Orange colorway, the shoe exudes the Knicks’ heritage look from head to toe. Penny’s signature One Cent logo stamped on the heel takes the shoe to the next level for the long-time collectors. With the Huarache 2K4’s slick upper, sculpted ankle collar, and Zoom Air cushioning, it’s no wonder that this model is one of Nike Basketball’s most iconic silhouettes of the 2000s — the perfect middle-ground between Kobe Bryant and Penny Hardaway.

It’s no surprise that with the right mix of nostalgia and on-court performance, this sneaker will always be relevant, even after all these years. Sneakerheads who remember its on-court dominance will appreciate seeing this PE return under the spotlight.

Nike Huarache 2K4 “Knicks” 2026 Release Date

The Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 Penny Hardaway “Knicks” PE releases September 11, 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $210 USD.

Official Photos of the 2026 Air Jordan 7 “Miro”

Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 7 “Miro” is returning for the first time since 2008. Jordan Brand will release the shoe July 10, 2026. This retro has significance tied to Michael Jordan and the Dream Team’s 1992 Barcelona Olympics run. It will also pay homage to Spanish painter and sculptor Joan Miró.

Its color blocking pulls inspiration from Miró’s iconic Barcelona sculpture Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird), which gives us the color combination of playful primary hues splattered throughout the silhouette. Even though the silhouette sticks to the classic AJ7 form, this iteration combines crisp white leather sections with subdued nubuck elements, allowing the abstract bursts of color to truly shine.

The Olympic connection is further emphasized by accent details like Jordan’s signature number 9 on the heel and a translucent outsole adorned with gold and flag graphics.

After years of fans clamoring for the return of classic Jordan 7 colorways, “Miro” stands out as a particularly meaningful retro revival for the model.

Air Jordan 7 “Miro” 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 7 “Miro” is set to release July 10, 2026 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com, priced at $255 USD. Check out the official photos below.

PUMA Hali 1 “Mint Green” Gets A Fresh Summer Look

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Tyrese Haliburton’s PUMA Hali 1 is expected to return in a refreshing “Mint Green” colorway during Summer 2026. Designed by Salehe Bembury, the upcoming release gives Haliburton’s first signature basketball shoe a palette reminiscent of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Soft mint green spreads across the mesh and TPU upper, creating a mostly tonal appearance. A darker green strip reinforces the toe, while an off-white midsole adds a warm break between the upper and outsole.

Haliburton’s personal logo blends into the tongue in matching mint. PUMA’s oversized cat branding stretches across the lateral heel in the same tonal finish.

A cloudy, semi-translucent outsole completes the pair in a slightly deeper green shade. Its appearance may resemble glow-in-the-dark rubber, but no glowing feature has been confirmed.

The PUMA Hali 1 “Mint Green” is expected to release during Summer 2026 through PUMA and select retailers online and in stores. Official pricing has not been announced, though the shoe is expected to retail for $130, in line with previous Hali 1 colorways.

Naked Copenhagen x Nike Shox Z Calistra “Polka Dot” Channels Cruella de Vil Vibes

By

Naked Copenhagen is putting its own spin on the Nike Shox Z Calistra for Summer 2026, dressing the women’s hybrid in a black-and-white “Polka Dot” colorway. The collaboration will be available through Naked Copenhagen, Nike, and select retailers for $135.

A quilted white upper sets the base, with black dots covering the shoe from front to back. The pattern gives the pair a Dalmatian-like look, while the red accents bring a clear Cruella de Vil influence without turning the design into a direct character collaboration.

Three narrow straps run across the forefoot, each finished differently. One continues the polka-dot print, another arrives in bright red, and the third uses silver jewel-like detailing for a dressier contrast. The open-top construction leaves the Calistra’s mule shape exposed, blending a sneaker upper with the proportions of a kitten heel.

Red also appears on the Shox cushioning columns and the small Swoosh near the heel.

The Naked Copenhagen x Nike Shox Z Calistra “Polka Dot” releases in women’s sizing during Summer 2026. Expect pairs to launch in-store and online through Naked Copenhagen, Nike, and select retailers.

adidas Originals “Cow Print” Pack Adds Animal Print To Three Classics

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

adidas Originals will drop a women’s “Cow Print” Pack later this summer. Scheduled to release August 2026, the three-pair pack consists of the Superstar, Japan, and Taekwondo built with a black-and-white pony- hair-style upper.

For all three styles adidas channels the cow print to exaggerate the classic silhouettes each shoe offers. The Superstar “Cow Print” takes center stage with additional details. A cream colored Three Stripes, white midsole and even the shoe’s black shell toe caps are placed on top of the spotted base. Touches of brown are introduced through burgundy laces.

Keeping things subtle is theadidas Japan “Cow Print”. Blue laces play off the colored upper while cream accents cover the sides of the shoe. Black covers the tongue, lining, and outsole. The Japan also features a narrow silhouette, keeping the shoe low to the foot and true to its vintage track inspiration.

There’s even more print shown throughout the adidas Taekwondo “Cow Print”. The laceless upper is left mostly uninterrupted aside from three cream stripes. A black sole finishes off the shoe.

Whether the trio is worn together or separately, each model wears the shared material differently. It feels weightier on the chunky Superstar, crisp on the Japan, and simplistic on the slim Taekwondo.

The women’s adidas Originals “Cow Print” Pack will launch August 2026 online at adidas.com and select retailers. Stay tuned for updated price points and an official release date.

New Balance “Tan/Grey” Brings Premium Neutrals Into Summer 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

New Balance unveiled a “Tan/Grey” colorway of its popular 992, bringing the runner another understated release focused more on texture than pops of color. Available starting Summer 2026 via NewBalance.com and at select retailers for $200.

Tan suede caps the mudguard, eyestay, side panel, and heel. It dresses up the 992’s complex shape with an effortless feel. Tan mesh is also present underneath those sections within the toe box and midfoot for some added ventilation.

Grey leather accents appear on the toe, collar, tongue, and side overlays. While subtle, they help define the upper. Silver laser-cut “N” logos are found on the side panels, while smaller reflective-style branding near the heel takes influence from runner-specific shoes without being overbearing. Meanwhile, the halo around the translucent window on the heel features hairy tan suede, creating one of the better contrasts with the metallic silver New Balance tab within.

Grey shows up on the tongue, which is mostly white with branding, while a translucent “992” badge is found on the laces. White is also present on the midsole, creating an illusion that some sections are fewer Senses. Grey appears on the ABZORB cushioning, while a standard black rubber outsole rounds out the shoe.

The New Balance 992 “Tan/Grey” is an effortless colorway. Utilizing suede, mesh, leather, and neutral color blocking makes the shoe feel complete without overthinking the design.

Sneaker Talk: Air Jordan 7 “Ray Allen”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 7 “Ray Allen” brought one of the sharpshooter’s most recognizable Player Exclusives to the public in 2019. Released globally on June 1, the sneaker arrived 23 years after Allen was selected in the 1996 NBA Draft.

Jordan Brand based the retail release on the Air Jordan 7 PEs Allen wore during his run with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2002. Rather than reproducing one pair exactly, the final design pulled details from both his “Home” and “Away” versions.

The sneaker leans heavily into Milwaukee’s throwback color palette. Smooth black nubuck covers most of the upper, giving the pair a clean foundation. Purple and silver then appear across the tongue, jagged midsole and outsole, while metallic-looking branding adds another nod to the original Bucks-themed PEs.

Although commonly connected to Allen’s “Bucks Away” pair, the retail edition stands on its own as a blend of two rare designs that were once made exclusively for him. It also serves as a reminder of Allen’s years in Milwaukee before his championship runs with the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.

The Air Jordan 7 “Ray Allen” is no longer available at retail, but pairs can still be found through resale platforms such as StockX.
