ANTA KAI 2 Speed Debuts August 2025

Kyrie Irving’s journey with ANTA is taking another step forward this August with the introduction of the ANTA KAI 2 Speed. Lighter and more agile, the second chapter in the KAI series of sneakers prioritizes speed with a sleeker and swifter design than its predecessors.

Crafted with the help of designer Dallas Stokes, the KAI 2 Speed is meant to “look fast standing still.” As such, the sneaker is for players that favor shiftiness over size. A more refined silhouette means less bulk while still offering a great lockdown and support.

Irving’s “K11” logo is also split down the center on the tongue and back on the heel, adding to the physical and conceptual importance of the signature logo. Bold design makes way for plenty of storytelling opportunities.

Available in White/Purple, Black/Pink, Black/Blue, and Blue/Orange colorways, arrow graphics traverse breathable mesh uppers. Contrasting materials, layered accents, and gradient tonal shifts give each iteration a pop.

Herringbone traction on the outsole improves grip and a responsive midsole will keep athletes nimble and balanced even in the clutch.

The ANTA KAI 2 Speed will release August 2025 on ANTA.com and with select retailers.

These are sure to sell out quickly among both players and collectors.

Aries x Salomon XT-Whisper Brings Bold Trail Style in Two Colorways

Aries and Salomon are back at it again, this time with an update on the XT-Whisper silhouette. After first collabbing on the Snowclog earlier this year, the two brands are following up with a fresh pair dropped in two completely different colorways.

The first shoe takes inspiration from Aries’ maximalist approach to design, featuring a gradient mesh, red suede overlays and neon pink accents. Its signature column motif is also featured on the collar, in tribute to its Roman namesake. An unabashed gorpcore powerhouse.

The second colorway of the XT-Whisper is more for those who like to keep it a bit more under wraps, arriving in a stealthy, all-black color scheme. Splashes of burnt orange and a bit of texture add some flair to the neutral scheme while still keeping a technical focus. Each shoe is outfitted with EnergyCell cushioning, Contragrip outsoles and Quicklace™ systems.

Trail sneakers are most often designed with performance in mind, with little consideration for fashion. But with the XT-Whisper, Aries has continued its trend of showing Salomon up on the fashion front while still giving utility some due respect.

The Aries x Salomon XT-Whisper will release globally on November 18th, 2025 via salomon.com and ariesarise.com. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD each.

This UNDEFEATED Air Jordan 4 Sample Became Eminem’s Encore Instead

As the UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 is set to return on August 2nd, a new early sample that might have been the inspiration for Eminem’s famed “Encore” Air Jordan 4 has resurfaced.

One of the earliest samples in a rare faded blue with grey, white, and red hits on the upper in a cleaner and less military-inspired colorway compared to the olive version that everyone knows and loves was originally made early on in UNDEFEATED’s development process. In a recent interview with Complex, UNDEFEATED co-founder James Bond and creative director Chris Gibbs opened up about the sample’s inspiration and story. According to them, the early direction for the Air Jordan 4 sample was inspired by a different kind of OG: the Blackberry phone. They wanted to incorporate the early-2000’s cool-tech color blocking in their color scheme.

Eminem has long been rumored to have heard about the look see sample during a trip to Nike HQ and fell in love with the colorway which led to an agreement in the end. Just two months after the creation of this sample, Eminem released his now-iconic “Encore” Air Jordan 4 in a nearly identical color scheme.

This “Look See Sample” resurfaced recently by @mc1snkrs and has all the markings and factory spec tags to prove it’s authenticity. While this version may never see the light of day, it’s influence on Eminem’s “Encore” Air Jordan 4’s legacy is clear.

The UNDEFEATED Jordan 4 raffle ends July 30th at 11AM ET.

Original Story 5/6/25:
This shiny yellow masterpiece looks like Pikachu hit the track team and never looked back. Inspired by the 2008 Adios Neftenga, the sneaker blends heritage with a high-speed, high-style glow-up. The name “Goukana” even means luxurious in Japanese, because of course it does.

Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE Shines For Arike Ogunbowale

Nike is showing some love for women’s basketball once again with a new PE for Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale. The Nike Kobe 5 Protro Arike Ogunbowale PE was recently seen making its on-court debut and is already turning heads thanks to its soft pink, chrome, and metallic gold color scheme.

The PE features a reflective chrome overlay, a blush pink synthetic upper, and premium grey accents at the heel and collar. The most eye-catching detail is a gold foil Swoosh that slices through the side panels for just the right amount of bling on a shoe that belongs to the reigning champion’s most clutch scorer. A segmented tongue and Zoom Air cushioning round out the performance-focused details.

The Arike Ogunbowale Kobe 5 Protro PE follows Ogunbowale’s 2023 GT Cut 2 PE and continues to build her profile as an influential player for the Nike Basketball team. Nike hasn’t announced a retail release date, but fans are hoping this one will be general release eventually—especially as more and more player exclusives Kobes are hitting stores lately.

In addition to being a celebration of Arike’s career, the Kobe 5 Protro PE is also a part of Nike Basketball’s continued effort to show up for women athletes in new ways with thoughtful storytelling and stylish designs. This is also a subtle but major tribute to Kobe Bryant’s love for women’s basketball that will continue to live on through PEs like this.

For now, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro Arike Ogunbowale PE will remain a player exclusive. But with so much buzz around WNBA PEs now, we wouldn’t be surprised if this one gets a general release down the line.

Nike Honors Kobe Bryant With FC Barcelona Jerseys and Footwear Collection

Nike continues the Kobe Bryant legacy with a special crossover collection that pays tribute to one of the game’s greatest football clubs: FC Barcelona. For the first time ever, Kobe’s signature sheath logo debuts on Barcelona’s 2025–26 away kit.

Kobe was a lifelong football fan, and his connection with FC Barcelona was well-known and documented. With this collection, Nike pays homage to his passion for the beautiful game by unifying two of the brand’s most internationally beloved athletes and icons.

In our opinion, this collection transcends crossovers. Kobe had a mentality that spanned court and field, and this release is one more way we get to keep the legend alive.
