Brain Dead x adidas Japan Low Releases August 28th

The adidas collaboration with Brain Dead continues to stir things up, this time with a pair that resurrects the adidas Japan Low.

One colorway drops in Core Black, Off-White and Purple. It showcases black tumbled leather upper, vintage white stripes, and purple hairy suede flames. Loud black laces with co-branded gold foil logos finish off this retro-futurist design.

The other drops in Dark Brown, Yellow and Olive. The palette is more rugged, finding a middle ground between earthy brown leather, mustard flames and olive accents. Both silhouettes are equipped with gum herringbone outsoles for vintage-inspired traction.

The Brain Dead x adidas Japan Low drops August 28, 2025, at the retail price of $140 USD, via adidas.com and select retailers.

Loud, weird and quintessential Kyle Ng design speak, these simply scream Brain Dead x adidas.

Skepta x PUMA Skope “Black” Releases August 14th

UK grime legend Skepta continues his momentum in fashion with the upcoming Skepta x PUMA Skope “Black”. Building on his successful run with the Skope silhouette, this latest version drops the mesh for a sleeker, fully blacked-out leather upper.

Known for his eye for detail, Skepta elevates the Skope with luxury-grade materials. The silhouette keeps its trail-inspired DNA with a chunky outsole and aggressive midsole carving, but now gets a clean, monochromatic finish. Hexagon Skepta logos appear on the tongue and insole, while hits of red and green PUMA branding add subtle contrast.

This isn’t Skepta’s first foray into sneaker design. Earlier in 2025, he dropped the “White Pack” and a series of mid-top Skope colorways that leaned into rugged, outdoorsy vibes. The Skepta x PUMA Skope Black colorway, on the other hand, is a departure in that sense, the design is sleeker, more minimal, and primed for the streets.

If you’ve followed Skepta’s previous collaborations with Nike, you’ll know his design work never misses. This all-black sneaker is no exception as it manages to look more mature, more refined and better constructed for longevity.

The Skepta x PUMA Skope “Black” releases on August 14, 2025, at select PUMA retailers and PUMA.com. Retail price is set at $160 USD.

Jean Paul Gaultier x Crocs Collection Revealed

Crocs has just announced their newest collaboration with renowned French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. The Crocs x Jean Paul Gaultier collection is part of Crocs’ mission to move beyond utilitarian to high fashion. This season they’ve created capsule collections with Simone Rocha and Balenciaga, and their most recent collaboration includes three styles that are a perfect fusion of fashion and function.

First, there’s a Classic Clog that’s been clad in black faux leather with an oversized safety pin, customized with the “Gaultier” logo. The Bae Clog is a bit more on the shocking side with wavy textile paneling, sneaker-like lacing system and a chunky platform sole that’s finished with a midfoot buckle. Finally, a new clog design is included in the collaboration. This one is finished with an elaborate black and white paisley pattern accented with off-white trim. It’s a direct callback to Gaultier’s own personal brand of embellishment.

With Gaultier’s signature boldness and Crocs’ deconstructionist vision, this collection is as unexpected as it is comfortable.

You can expect the collection to launch soon via Crocs.com, JeanPaulGaultier.com and select retailers worldwide.

Air Jordan 1 Low Inspired By “Panda” Colorways

Jordan Brand revives a crowd favorite with the release of Air Jordan 1 Low “Panda” dropping in Fall 2025.

For the most part, this iteration of the silhouette will maintain the overall monochrome color scheme that helped make the “Panda” moniker so popular. The introduction of a dark brown Swoosh and heel collar provides a bit of contrast. It also helps warm up the color scheme just enough without taking too much away from the OG aesthetic.

The upper is constructed of white leather underlays and black overlays. A black nylon tongue with matching laces and brown stitched Wings logo round out the design. A white midsole and black rubber outsole combine for a fresh aesthetic while also providing a steady performance with comfortable cushioning and reliable traction.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Panda” drops Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $120 USD.

The overall design provides a clean look that goes with nearly every wardrobe while still offering a unique flavor.

adidas Samba Joins Sporty & Rich Once Again

Sporty & Rich returns to adidas and brings its signature suave edge to the classic Samba. This Summer 2025 drop is all about essentials, with just a touch of flair.

The shoe keeps things simple, with a white leather upper contrasted by off-white suede toe cap and collar lining. The iconic gum sole provides that timeless retro finish. It’s all tied together with that head-turning green and navy three-stripe ribbon branding, a sleek swap for adidas’ usual all-black stripes and a co-branded “Sporty & Rich” logo.

This collaboration isn’t going for a super heavily designed look, rather it’s playing on premium details and contrast to elegantly level-up the model. The green heel tab and tongue badge showcase the brand’s signature color palette.

The Sporty & Rich x adidas Samba will launch Summer 2025 on adidas.com and at select retail locations worldwide. More details and pricing will be revealed soon.

This is a clean and simple take for those that love that minimalist, elevated style.

Original Story 7/19/25:
Jordan Brand gears up for Fall 2025 with a fresh take on the Spizike Low. This new colorway combines elements from classic Air Jordans.

In the back, each heel comes with a different emblem. One features the “40 Acres and a Mule” logo, while the other nods to Brooklyn, a salute to Spike Lee’s influence on the original Spizike line.

Underfoot, you’ll find a matching Storm Blue outsole with a red “Jordan” logo. Visible Air cushioning is still here. The aged Sail midsole adds a retro feel without overdoing it.

Chris Paul Shares His Air Jordan 40 PE At 2025 Elite Camp

Chris Paul has just added another one-of-a-kind Jordan PE to his impressive collection. While in Las Vegas for his 2025 Elite Camp, Paul unveiled a special Player Exclusive Air Jordan 40 PE in a soft pink suede colorway with floral embellishments.

The 1-of-1 Player Exclusive is hard to miss with the floral-embroidered Swoosh stitched onto the side panel of the shoe. The Swoosh has been featured on some of Jordan’s signature Air Jordan 31 and hybrid silhouettes before, but it’s rare to see it so prominently featured on a flagship Air Jordan mainline silhouette.

The upper is made from premium suede in a pastel pink shade. The floral embroidery is present across the Swoosh and the heel while the lining has a matching print. The translucent fuchsia outsole is a nice contrast while Paul’s personalized CP3 logo replaces the Jumpman on the tongue.

Featuring a base of Nike’s ZoomX foam, the Air Jordan 40 pushes performance forward while nodding at Jordan’s legacy in sneaker design. However, this PE will not be available in retail stores. Paul confirmed that the Air Jordan 40 PE was made exclusively for the camp attendees.

Fans may not be able to purchase this exclusive pair, but it’s a strong start to the new release of the Air Jordan 40. With storytelling and exclusives like this, Jordan Brand continues to move forward while still highlighting their legacy.

FIRST LOOK: Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 4 (2025)

Billie Eilish is once again teaming up with Jordan Brand, this time unveiling a bold new Air Jordan 4 collaboration on tour. The collab builds on her 2021 releases—the Air Jordan 1 KO and Air Jordan 15.

The Grammy-winning artist showcased the unreleased pair during her HIT ME HARD AND SOFT concert stop in London. The sneaker features a mostly black upper, but what stands out are the plaid accents layered across the midsole, lace wings, heel plate, and even beneath the netting.

Adding a personal stamp, Billie’s Blohsh logo appears just above the Air unit and possibly overlays the Jumpman on the heel tab.

The shoe shares a lot of the musical artist’s signature wardrobe — flannels, baggy silhouettes and a general hard punk-meets-grunge aesthetic. Eilish has been spotted wearing Jordan 4s during live performances for years now, so a special colorway was more than a little overdue.

While official release info hasn’t been confirmed, the appearance hints at a future retail drop or possibly a friends-and-family edition. Stay tuned for updates.

Coinciding with Elvis Week 2025 that takes place in Memphis from August 8-16, the annual week-long event at Graceland dedicated to the King, the croc-shaped clog has black-and-white images printed on the Croslite™ upper while keeping true to Crocs’ brand DNA. A reflection of Elvis’ legacy as a cultural icon.

Six Elvis-inspired Jibbitz™ charms bring storytelling to life, including Elvis’ pink 1955 Cadillac, blue suede slippers, and his “Taking Care of Business” logo. A signature and quote are also included on the left and right footbed, respectively.

A unique release with plenty of nostalgia, this Classic Clog is one to watch this Summer 2025.

The Elvis Presley x Crocs Classic Clog will release in August 2025 available at Crocs.com and select retailers.

Ja Morant Joins Nike’s Asia Tour Legacy With “Make Them Watch” China Stop

Ja Morant has officially become the newest member of Nike’s Summer Asia Tour heritage. After LeBron, Kobe and KD, the young Hornets guard made his “Make Them Watch” way to China this summer.

At Nike flagship stores in Shenzhen and Shanghai, Morant also served as the guest of honor at Mission Rise 2025 where he worked one-on-one with young athletes at a youth clinic in the Jiangwan Sports Center. He was on the same court where Kobe Bryant had appeared back in 2017, too.

But beyond highlight-reel dunks and a larger-than-life personality, Morant is also on track to become one of Nike’s biggest international game-changers of all time. It all seems to be authentic as well. In addition to his on-court performances, the man clearly enjoys connecting with the community as well.

Now it’s onto Tokyo as fans and consumers in Japan can expect to see him in the coming weeks, as Nike’s summer itinerary keeps turning international.

Similar to how Sabrina Ionescu held down the fort for Nike Basketball in the Philippines, Morant has the potential to be the face of the game on a global scale as well.

Nike Air Max 95 OG Keeps It Cool in “Grey/Jade Green”

Nike’s original Air Max 95 is on deck for a classic overhaul. Dropping Fall 2025, the Air Max 95 OG “Grey/Jade Green” taps into the sneaker’s famed gradient template with a multidimensional application of cool grey hues across the upper. Expect a patchwork of perforated mesh, woven nylon, and flattened suede in place of the standard uniform materials.

The highlight of the shoe? Splashes of jade green. Injected into the lace loops, mini Swoosh, and insole of the full-length Air units, the bright color provides a stark contrast to the muted color palette.

Inspired by the sneaker’s mid-’90s heritage while amping up its modern appeal, this Air Max 95 is a cool way to score vintage runners or simply diversify your current selection of greys with a fresh pop of color.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Grey/Jade Green” will be available at Nike.com and select retailers for $190 USD starting Fall 2025.
