Nike ACG Pegasus Trail Lands in Cream and Light Orewood Brown

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Neutral trail runners keep having a moment, and this latest ACG drop leans into that lane without losing its off-road identity. Arriving in Cream II, Light Orewood Brown, and Safety Orange, the Nike ACG Pegasus Trail “Cream” combines soft outdoor tones with a sharp performance-driven shape.

Across the upper, the palette stays understated and easy to wear. Cream covers most of the knit and mesh build, while Light Orewood Brown lands on the molded eyestays, side panels, and oversized Swoosh. That balance gives the trail shoe a refined look, but it still feels functional rather than dressed up.

Underfoot, the model gets a thick white ReactX midsole with sculpted lines wrapping the heel. The outsole adds a light tan finish and aggressive traction pods, reinforcing the rugged purpose behind the design. Small hits of Safety Orange on the ACG branding and insole graphics break up the neutral layout without changing the shoe’s clean direction.

There is also a strong mix of utility and comfort here. Tonal laces, side netting, a reinforced toe, and a padded collar keep the silhouette rooted in trail performance, while the softer color blocking makes this ACG runner easy to wear off the path too.

The Nike ACG Pegasus Trail “Cream” releases April 9, 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $155.

Nike Vomero Premium “White/Lapis” Keeps It Cool For Summer 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A bright performance runner always lands differently when the color balance is this clean. Nike is leaning into that contrast again with the Nike Vomero Premium “White/Lapis”. a Summer 2026 release.

Here, the white upper keeps the presentation sharp and modern, giving the shoe a light, technical feel from the first look. Mesh construction appears to drive the build, while soft yellow dotted detailing spreads across the side panels and helps break up the all-white base. Lapis blue Swooshes bring the strongest contrast, adding just enough punch without crowding the design.

The real showstopper is beneath your feet. Bulky white midsole cradles bright Total Orange Air Zoom cushions, set within an illuminated Laser Orange wash that makes the entire cushioning system appear futuristic and dare we say concept shoe-esque. Logos for Blue Air Zoom and ZoomX accents on the midsole help unify the look and bring your color story full-circle from sidewall to outsole.

Small details help finish the pair the right way. White laces, a padded collar, and a mostly white outsole keep things clean, while orange branding on the outsole pods and warm-toned insoles add extra life. There is a clear performance angle here, but the styling also shows Nike continuing to make advanced running models feel more visually expressive.

The Nike Vomero Premium “White/Lapis” releases in Summer 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $230.

Alysa Liu Joins Nike Athlete Roster With New Campaign

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Alysa Liu’s rise from skating prodigy to cultural force has been building for years, and her latest move makes it official—she’s now part of Nike’s athlete roster. At just 20, Liu has already made history as the first American figure skater in over two decades to win Olympic gold, and her influence now stretches far beyond the ice.

Nike’s new feature highlights her full journey, from becoming a national champion at 13, to stepping away from the sport, and ultimately returning to the top. That comeback story sits at the center of her appeal, paired with a personality and style that resonates strongly with Gen-Z audiences. Her growing presence in music, fashion, and online culture has only amplified that reach.

While Liu had been seen wearing Nike during her time in Milan, this campaign confirms the partnership in a bigger way. The rollout includes editorial-style visuals featuring key early 2026 pieces like the Air Max 95 “Neon,” Air Liquid Max, and Jacquemus Moon Shoe, positioning her at the intersection of sport and style.

Nike is also giving Liu her own apparel moment. A graphic tee, CLICK HERE, and hoodie, CLICK HERE, inspired by her gold medal achievement are set to release, priced at $45 and $70.

This partnership feels like a natural next step, aligning one of the most modern athletes in the sport with a brand focused on storytelling, identity, and global influence.

Nike Reimagines The Air Force 1 With Trail-Ready Vibram Tooling

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 3/23/26: The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 LX Vibram Pack is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 3/10/26:
Movement outdoors has started to influence some of Nike’s recent lifestyle updates. In the past few seasons, the brand has looked for ways to move classic silhouettes beyond city pavement, blending familiar heritage with details built for rougher environments.

Nike carries that methodology over to the Air Force 1 Low “Vibram” Pack, an updated take on Bruce Kilgore’s original 1982 silhouette. Leather panels are replaced by a nylon upper materialized with a grid-like weave. The material instantly transforms the silhouette, nudging it closer to the gorpcore-inspired aesthetic. Meanwhile, pieces of leather on the Swooshes, heel tabs, and nylon tongue anchor important elements of the original AF1 recipe.

Where we see the largest departure from tradition is underneath. Nike replaces rubber tooling with a Vibram outsole for better traction and reliable grip on rugged terrain. The reworked tread pattern reinforces that theory, suggesting this iteration of the classic is meant to move with you and not just through your day.

Three colorways round out the lineup: “Pencil Point,” “Summit White,” and “Silt Red.” The palette mixes neutral shades with earthy tones often seen across Nike’s ACG-inspired releases, giving the collection a grounded outdoor feel.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Vibram” Pack releases on March 23, 2026 for $140 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Unheardof x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” Pack Releases March 28th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 3/23/26: Unheardof has officially announced release details for its adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” pack. The collection is inspired by founder Phillip Lipschutz’s childhood friend group, with Cupcake, Cheeseburger, and Steve-O each represented by their own colorway in green, yellow, and red. Every pair will be limited to 2,500 units. The full collection is scheduled to launch exclusively through Unheardof on March 28th, available in-store and online at unheardofbrand.com starting at 11:00 AM ET for $185 each. Enjoy the official and campaign photos below.

Original Story 3/11/26:
The Unheardof x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” Collection is expanding. What began as a single reveal has now grown into a three-colorway release, as founder Philip Lipschutz continues building the playful “Piggy Universe” tied to his Cincinnati-based boutique.

The project first surfaced during Paris Fashion Week, where Lipschutz previewed the green Piggy Runner 2.0 on the adidas Adistar Control 5. The debut established the direction of the sequel, combining expressive character storytelling with a performance running silhouette that has recently returned to fashion relevance.
The original Piggy Runner on the Adistar Cushion 3 drew attention for its bold pink palette and mascot-driven design. That reaction helped spark the follow-up, which now arrives with a more structured base while preserving the personality that defines the collaboration.

Three colorways make up the upcoming release. The green pair leads the pack with a mint-green mesh base, layered suede panels, and soft pink Three Stripes across the midfoot. The pig mascot returns on the tongue, while embroidered cartoon eyes appear on the heel, continuing the playful character theme introduced in the original project.

Two additional versions expand the concept. One arrives in a monochrome coral pink color scheme, covering the suede overlays, mesh upper, midsole, and laces in a single saturated tone. The other takes a lighter direction with a butter yellow upper paired with baby pink Three Stripes and pale yellow mesh paneling. Both pairs introduce colorful outsoles combining pink, yellow, mint, and blue accents, giving the sneakers a bright, candy-inspired finish.

Each colorway features its own pig character details on the tongue and insole, reinforcing the “Piggy Universe” storytelling that Lipschutz continues to develop through the collaboration. The sneakers also include alternate lace options, allowing wearers to customize the final look.

Beyond the playful design language, the project connects back to Cincinnati’s historic “Porkopolis” nickname, a reference that influenced the original Piggy Runner concept. The sequel builds on that identity while introducing a new model platform within adidas’ revived running lineup.

Unheardof adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” Release Date

The Unheardof x adidas Adistar Control 5 “Piggy Runner 2.0” Pack, including the Green, Coral Pink, and Yellow colorways, is scheduled to release on March 28, 2026. The sneakers will launch through Unheardof with limited availability.

UPDATE 11/11/25: In-hand images of the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark” have surfaced, giving us the best look yet at this upcoming colorway. This pair is a noticeable shift from Travis Scott’s usual earthy tones, leaning instead into a bold black and bright “Green Spark” setup. The suede-and-mesh build, the forefoot strap, and that signature reverse Swoosh are all still here, but the contrast hits harder this time around. The Cactus Jack heel features the Cactus Jack heel branding popping in white, and even the outsole text “Jack” in a lighter green hue. The release is still currently set for Spring 2026, though we’ll continue to monitor for any updates. More updates soon.

Original Story 7/8/25:
The Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack “Green Spark” is making waves after debuting during Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals.

Worn courtside at TD Garden, this fresh colorway received a nicknamed the “Celtics” edition thanks to its bold green theme. Dressed in Green Spark, Vapor Green, and Black, this model delivers a unique twist to Scott’s growing Jordan lineup.

The sneaker features a black suede base with toe box perforations for airflow. Bright green overlays bring the Celtics vibe to life. A midfoot strap adds lockdown support, while traditional laces complete the performance build. Scott’s signature reverse Swoosh appears in a soft mint tone on the lateral side.

Branding is consistent with other Jumpman Jack colorways. The Cactus Jack face logo is placed on the heel, and the word “Jack” appears beneath the outsole rubber—revealed as the outsole wears away. A black midsole and green outsole finish the energetic look.

Awake NY x Gap Collection Reworks Classic ’90s Staples Through A New York Lens

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

New York style is heading back to familiar ground, this time with a sharper streetwear edge. The Awake NY x Gap Collection pulls from Gap’s iconic ’90s archive and filters it through Angelo Baque’s Queens-raised point of view, giving the brand’s classic family staples a more current feel without losing what made them resonate in the first place.

Across 27 pieces, the capsule taps into the era that helped define everyday American style. Heavyweight GapSweats fleece returns in bold colors, while logo staples, cargo pieces, plaid shorts, and a butter-yellow quarter-zip help shape the lineup. Printed denim with an all-over polka-dot pattern adds a louder twist, and the athletic jersey plus the limited Gap x Awake NY x ’47 Brand Mets hat push the drop deeper into New York territory.

That balance feels intentional. Rather than simply reproducing vintage pieces, the collaboration updates them through a label that has always been tied to culture, identity, and city storytelling. Baque’s connection to Gap makes the project feel personal, but the broader message stays rooted in community.

The campaign supports that idea with a cast of New York creatives, families, and neighborhood names who naturally reflect the spirit behind the release.

The Awake NY x Gap Collection releases March 27th at 12 PM ET on Gap.com, select Gap stores, and Awake NY’s flagship.

Palace x Evisu Spring 2026 Collection Celebrates 35 Years of Evisu

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Another Palace and Evisu link-up is on the way, and this one has real weight behind it. Their fifth collaboration arrives for Spring 2026 with a 23-piece capsule that taps into Evisu’s deep roots in London style. It also lands as the Japanese denim label celebrates its 35th anniversary.

Drawing from Evisu’s archives, the collection doesn’t feel trapped by nostalgia. Denim leads with jackets, jeans, and shorts done up in light wash, indigo and a soft pink hue inspired by hanami. That color choice gives the range a seasonal lift while still keeping the brand’s heritage close.

Palace and Evisu also push beyond denim here. A co-branded cycling jersey and a zip-up bomber bring in a sportier edge, while crewnecks and graphic tees keep things easy to wear. The sakura-style Tri-Ferg branding on the back helps tie the whole Palace Evisu collaboration together without overdoing it.

The extras give the drop more personality. Denim caps round out the apparel side, while a Buddha snow globe nods to Evisu’s Godhead logo.

The Palace x Evisu Spring 2026 Collection releases March 27th through Palace, palace.evisu.com, and select Palace and Evisu stores.

Nike Air Max SNDR “Black Legacy” Limited To 365 Pairs

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is highlighting its Black Employee Network (BEN) with a special, ultra-limited Air Max Sunder that celebrates culture and legacy. Founded in 1997, BEN has grown into a strong community within the brand, focused on connection, representation, and impact.

This latest project draws inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance, translating that era’s creativity into a bold sneaker design. The pair features premium Purple Dynasty leather, pearl accents, and a color-shifting upper that gives it a distinct, elevated look. The storytelling is rooted in culture, with contributors involved in the project helping shape its direction and meaning.

Only 365 pairs were produced, each individually numbered, making it one of Nike’s more exclusive internal releases. Instead of a retail launch, the brand is gifting pairs directly to Black leaders, creatives, and voices in media. That approach reinforces the purpose behind the shoe, keeping it tied to community rather than commercialization.

While there are no plans for a public release, the BEN x Nike Air Max Sunder “Black Legacy” stands as another example of Nike using product to spotlight culture and honor influential voices beyond the traditional consumer space.

Billionaire Boys Club x New York Yankees Spring 2026 Collection

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

With baseball season right around the corner, timing also provides this collaboration a natural feel. Billionaire Boys Club and the New York Yankees return for Spring 2026, giving us another capsule that feels connected to the city yet stays clear of typical team gear clichés. The BAPO sub-label and MLB squad team up for clothing that merges sports culture with NYC streetwear.

This pack jumps out first with a Stadium Jacket that tones down the rest of the capsule. A Stadium Jacket leads the release, while a navy nylon windbreaker set, heavyweight graphic tees, heritage rugby jerseys, and New Era fitted caps build out the range. Instead of leaning too hard on obvious team merchandise cues, this collection plays more into BBC’s visual identity while still holding onto a strong New York presence.

That balance shows up clearly in the colors and textures. Navy and white stay at the center, but the burgundy-and-navy rugby adds a stronger twist, especially with “New York” scripted across the back in white. Sherpa-trimmed fitted caps also give the capsule a more seasonal feel, adding depth without taking away from its athletic base. This collaboration knows just enough to shake things up when it steps outside the box of typical activewear designs.

The Billionaire Boys Club x New York Yankees Spring 2026 Collection drops Friday, March 27th at 10 AM ET online at the BBC ICECREAM website, as well as at BBC’s US flagship shop, New Era, and at the Yankees Team Store located inside Yankee Stadium.

Supreme x Ghostface Collection Releases March 26th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A familiar horror icon is stepping into Supreme’s Spring 2026 lineup this week, bringing a tighter, more graphic-driven drop than some of the brand’s larger seasonal capsules. Rather than spread the idea across a massive range, Supreme keeps the concept controlled here, using Ghostface imagery on a handful of standout pieces that feel direct and easy to place within the label’s current run.

At the center of the release is the Supreme x Ghostface Collection, led by a GORE-TEX jacket in red and black. Both color options feature oversized Ghostface artwork across the back, while the rest of the shell stays stripped back and functional. That balance helps the visual hit harder without crowding the garment.

The same theme carries into the rest of the capsule. Mesh shorts place the graphic on one leg, while the beanie selection mixes clean logo styles with knit designs that work the mask into the build itself. A pendant shaped like the Ghostface mask and a full-face mask help push the drop beyond apparel without making it feel overloaded.

Most notable is just how curated the capsule feels. By allowing one photo to drive the narrative, Supreme gives this drop a cleaner identity than a wider, more diluted collection would have.

The Supreme x Ghostface Collection drops March 26, 2026 in-store and online via Supreme at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT.

The mix of colors reflects Reese’s versatility and confidence, tying directly into the theme behind the release.

Reese describes the sneaker as a direct extension of her personality, emphasizing confidence and individuality. The design is meant to empower wearers, encouraging them to embrace their identity and step forward with purpose every time they lace up.

FIRST LOOK: Nike Ja 3 “Animal Instinct”

The Nike Ja 3 continues to build momentum as one of Ja Morant’s strongest signature models yet. Designed to match his explosive, high-speed play style, the silhouette has already delivered a steady run of standout colorways. Now, a new “Animal Instinct” edition is set to join the lineup for Summer 2026.

This upcoming pair leans into a bold visual direction, featuring a bright red upper covered in black tiger stripe detailing. While the pattern echoes the model’s usual claw-inspired design, it introduces a more aggressive and layered look. Additional branding updates help separate this release, including “Instinct” replacing the usual “Twelve” heel text and stylized Nike lettering on the ZoomX cushioning that carries a dramatic, almost cinematic feel.

Metallic red Swooshes with an orange tint add contrast along the sides, while a blacked-out midsole keeps the overall design grounded. The mix of textures, colors, and graphics gives the shoe a louder identity compared to earlier versions, reinforcing the theme tied to Ja’s instinct-driven play.

Aaliyah Chavez Reveals Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mexico” PE

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Oklahoma standout Aaliyah Chavez continues to build her national profile during March Madness, helping push her team into the Sweet 16 with strong scoring and playmaking performances. Alongside her on-court impact, her growing connection to the Nike Kobe line is starting to take shape, signaling her emergence as a next-generation face tied to Kobe Bryant’s legacy.

Her latest player exclusive, the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mexico,” reflects a personal story rooted in her Mexican-American heritage. The design pulls directly from the Mexican flag, blending red, white, and green across a gradient-heavy upper. Details like the collar, heel, and midsole shift between tones, while a gum outsole adds a classic finish that balances the bold colorwork.

The pair also highlights a deeper cultural connection, as Chavez’s background aligns naturally with Vanessa Bryant’s heritage, making the collaboration feel authentic rather than forced. It’s another step in what looks like a long-term relationship between Chavez and the Kobe signature line.

At this time, the Aaliyah Chavez x Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Mexico” PE remains a player exclusive and is not expected to release publicly. Still, with Chavez continuing her tournament run, there’s a strong chance the pair will get more visibility on the national stage.

adidas 3D-Printed Basketball Shoe Debuts During March Madness

By
Mario Briguglio
-

adidas is continuing its push into the future of footwear, expanding its 3D-printing innovation beyond lifestyle models and into performance basketball. After building momentum with the Climacool, the brand has now introduced a fully 3D-printed basketball shoe designed specifically for on-court use.

The reveal comes alongside adidas’ new “R.A.P” platform—short for Radical Athlete Perception—which focuses on creating gear shaped directly by athlete movement and feedback. While the initiative will eventually extend into football, its first real product has already made an appearance on the hardwood, worn during NCAA Tournament play by Darryn Peterson.

Visually, the shoe blends familiar adidas Basketball DNA with new tech-driven elements. It features a layered inner and outer structure with a recognizable lacing system, similar to recent signature models. The standout detail is the 3D-printed upper, which transitions from a solid toe into a lattice-style build along the sides. This design aims to balance breathability, support, and structure, while also delivering a more customized feel.

Under the hood, the shoe is engineered for a precise fit, with targeted cushioning and stiffness based on how athletes actually move. adidas positions this as a major step toward performance footwear tailored at a deeper level than traditional manufacturing allows.

The 3D-printed basketball model is expected to release in the coming months, with a football version of the technology set to follow later this year.

Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” Now Available (March 2026)

By
Mason Tiniuc

UPDATE 3/23/26: The Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 2/25/26:
Energy around early-2000s runners keeps building, and Nike continues to tap into that wave with purpose. A global influence shapes this latest drop, as the Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” brings a familiar silhouette into a more expressive space without losing its performance roots.

A mix of Black and Metallic Pewter forms the base, giving the upper a clean but structured feel. Perforations across the black panels help with airflow, while the molded pewter sides add depth and shape. The design still carries that futuristic edge that defined the original Shox era.

Color does the heavy lifting here. A Canary Swoosh cuts through the neutral tones, while Light Photo Blue Shox columns underfoot add contrast and energy. The blue support plate ties it together, and the black outsole keeps everything grounded with durable traction.

Little details help ground the theme. Brazil makes an appearance on the tongue with the CBF crest as well as “Brasil” text that enhances the shoe without cluttering it. It appears purposeful and feels like another small step for Nike finding ways to better tie together sport and culture.

The Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” will drop March 23, 2026 for $155 through Nike.com and selected retailers.
