Jordan Heir 02 “Pow Pink” Arrives For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The Jordan Heir Series 2 “Pow Pink” is scheduled for Fall 2026, with a bright pink colorway arriving around Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The release isn’t officially connected to the annual campaign, though its pink upper and softer Plum Fog TPU cage give it a similar look.

Smoke Grey covers the tongue and inner lining, while metallic silver tape-like detailing stretches across the upper. Each pair also includes a Jordan-branded hair tie, something the brand has carried over from other Heir Series 2 releases.

Feedback from women basketball players helped shape the Jordan Heir Series 2, which is available as a unisex basketball shoe. Air Zoom cushioning provides underfoot comfort, while the outsole is built for traction during play. A TPU cage adds structure and helps keep the foot contained during quick movements.

The Jordan Heir Series 2 “Pow Pink” will release in October 2026 through select Jordan Brand retailers and online. The shoe will retail for $115.

New Balance 992 “Medusa Green” Drops October 27th

New Balance has another 992 lined up for the colder months, this time pairing Medusa Green with Thunder Brown for its Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 collection. The darker color mix works across the 992 without changing much about the materials and construction people already know from the model.

Dark green mesh fills most of the upper, with matching overlays and teal stitching running around the panels. Thunder Brown suede covers the mudguard from the toe through the sides and continues around the heel. Brown also carries down to the midsole and outsole, keeping the bottom half of the shoe in the same earthy range.

White laces and collar lining lighten things up, while the side “N” logos come outlined in white against the green upper. Grey panels near the heel carry the 992 branding, and “USA” is stitched onto the back. New Balance and 992 branding finish off the tongue.

The New Balance 992 Made in USA “Medusa Green” releases October 27, 2026, on NewBalance.com and at select New Balance retailers. Retail price is set at $200.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Gets an Iron Man-Inspired Makeover

Another red and gold Air Force 1 is on the way, and this one has a pretty obvious Iron Man look to it. The glossy patent leather makes the colors stand out even more, especially with that bright orange sole underneath. Nike did something similar back in 2013, so longtime sneaker fans might remember the earlier pair. The timing also comes as adidas has been putting out officially licensed Marvel sneakers, including Avengers Superstars, with a Doctor Doom Anthony Edwards 3 also on the way.

The “Iron Man” name isn’t official, since this isn’t a Marvel collaboration. It’s just what people are calling the shoe because of the colors. Dark red patent leather covers almost everything up top, while burgundy laces and a darker heel add a little variation. The orange Swooshes match the translucent sole, and the black lines around the leather panels give it an almost illustrated look. There’s something about the shiny finish that also brings those old BAPE Marvel sneakers to mind. Orange Nike Air logos appear on the tongue and heel.

The Nike Air Force 1 Patent “Iron Man” is set to release November 1, 2026 through select retailers and Nike.com. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $125.

adidas Adios Pro Evo 3 Restocks October 29th Following Chicago Marathon Wins

UPDATE 10/13/26: The Chicago Marathon was another good weekend for runners wearing the adidas Adios Pro Evo 3. Amos Kipruto won the men’s race, while Hawi Feysa took first in the women’s event. Both had the same $500 racing shoe on their feet. Three of the six podium finishers wore the model, which has already been part of major results in London and Berlin this year.

The Adios Pro Evo 3 will be available again on October 29th. adidas is keeping the price at $500.

UPDATE 4/27/26: A 1:59:30 finish for Sabastian Sawe at the London Marathon put the adidas Adios Pro Evo 3 in the spotlight almost immediately. The Kenyan runner became the first to complete an official marathon in under two hours, and Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha followed just 11 seconds behind in 1:59:41. Both were wearing adidas’ new racing shoe.

At less than 100 grams, the Adios Pro Evo 3 was on the feet of the two fastest runners that day. Nike wasn’t far behind, though. Jacob Kiplimo finished third with a time of 2:00:28, wearing a prototype that hadn’t been released yet.

The timing worked out well for adidas, with the limited $500 release selling out that same morning. More pairs were expected to arrive later in 2026.

Original Story 4/24/26:

Six World Marathon Major victories, three world records, and an Olympic record have put adidas in a pretty good position heading into its next racing shoe release. The Adizero Adios Pro EVO 3 follows those results with a lighter build and some changes underfoot, all aimed at getting more out of the shoe over marathon distances.

Most of the weight reduction comes from Lightstrike Pro Evo foam, which adidas says weighs nearly half as much as the material used in earlier versions. The foam is also designed to be more responsive, so runners still get the cushioning they need without carrying as much weight through a full race.

Another change is the ENERGYRIM system, which uses carbon reinforcement to manage stiffness and stability. It also lets adidas add more foam without making the shoe heavier. According to the brand, the new setup weighs 30% less than the previous model, offers 11% more forefoot energy return, and improves running economy by 1.6%.

The numbers get even more interesting when looking at the actual weight. A men’s size 9 comes in at only 97 grams, despite having 39mm of cushioning in the heel and 36mm in the forefoot. That works out to a 3mm drop.

The adidas Adizero Adios Pro EVO 3 releases April 27th in extremely limited quantities through adidas.com and select running specialty stores. Retail price is set at $500.

adidas Harden Vol. 1 Retro “Pioneer” Returns October 15th

James Harden has been with adidas for a decade now, and his signature sneaker line is about to reach its 11th model. That’s a pretty big number for a basketball player with the Three Stripes. Derrick Rose was the last to get that far, and Harden could eventually go beyond him with his current contract running through 2028. He’s even talked about wanting a lifetime deal with adidas.

The first Harden sneaker is also making a comeback. Originally released in 2016, the adidas Harden Vol. 1 is returning as Harden heads into his 18th NBA season. We’ve already seen the retro surface in China, with Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams helping promote the shoe. From the outside, it looks much like the pair people remember, but adidas has made some changes to what’s inside.

The biggest difference is the cushioning. Instead of the original Boost setup, the Harden Vol. 1 Retro now uses Hyperboost foam, giving the older design a more modern setup underfoot. It’s only the second adidas basketball model to feature the technology, following the Anthony Edwards 3. We’ve seen this approach before with Nike’s Kobe Protro releases, where the original designs return with updated performance features. Under Armour also took a similar route by adding Flow traction to older Curry models.

The adidas Harden Vol. 1 Retro lands stateside via the “Pioneer” colorway on October 15, 2026. A $140 retail price is confirmed.

Nike 24.7 Boot Joins the Swoosh’s Recovery-Focused Lifestyle Lineup

A boot version of the Nike 24.7 is coming later this year, and it looks quite different from the sneaker that started the lineup. Nike has been experimenting with footwear made for everyday comfort, particularly shoes people can wear when they’re not training. The new 24.7 Boot follows that same idea, only this time with a suede upper and a bulky heel design that looks closer to some of the casual boots we’ve seen from other brands.

The back of the boot is probably where most people will notice the similarities to Yeezy footwear. Its molded, wrinkled collar has a shape reminiscent of the Yeezy 2, while the smooth suede construction brings Ugg to mind. It’s an unusual combination for Nike, especially considering the brand’s recent focus on athletic footwear.

The outsole comes from the same general design as the original Nike 24.7 sneaker, with raised traction underneath. There’s also some resemblance to the Nike Mind 001, although the 24.7 Boot doesn’t appear to use the same technology. Around the heel, a textured section could make the boot easier to slip on and take off, similar to what Nike has done with its EasyOn footwear. That feature hasn’t been officially confirmed.

Nike already has several options aimed at comfort outside of sports, including the Hyperice Slide and 24.7 sneaker. The boot gives that lineup another option, this time with a design better suited to casual everyday wear.

The Nike 24.7 Boot is scheduled for Holiday 2026 in men’s and women’s sizing, with a retail price of $160. Expect it to be available through Nike.com and select retailers.

Air Jordan 11 MCS Cleat “Space Jam” Releases November 2026

Jordan Brand is releasing a purple Air Jordan 11 MCS Cleat as part of its 30th anniversary celebration for Space Jam. The baseball cleat takes inspiration from Michael Jordan’s time with the Birmingham Barons, a period also shown in the 1996 film.

The Air Jordan 11 MCS Cleat “Space Jam” features a Lapis purple leather upper with black laces and a matching black midsole. Purple Jumpman branding appears on the lateral heel, while Jordan’s number “23” is stitched onto the black heel tab in the same shade. A purple cleated outsole finishes the baseball-ready design.

The colorway has a similar appearance to the Air Jordan 11 “Mojave” released in 2025. This version uses a different shade of purple and swaps the upper material for leather.

Jordan Brand has several releases tied to the movie’s anniversary, including Air Jordan 1 Low and Mid colorways featuring Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny. Other designs reference Spike Lee and the original Space Jam website, while two additional Air Jordan 11 releases take inspiration from the film’s magic basketball and green-screen scenes.

The Air Jordan 11 MCS Cleat “Space Jam” releases November 5, 2026, at select Jordan Brand retailers and online. The baseball cleats will be available in men’s sizing for $225. Check out the official photos below.

Bad Bunny x adidas Gazelle Indoor “Solar Gold” Releases October 17th

Bad Bunny has another adidas Gazelle on the way. His upcoming “Solar Gold” colorway links right back to Puerto Rico. Earlier drops leaned heavily into bright blues and pinks, but this new pair switches things up entirely. A golden yellow finish dominates the silhouette this time around to mimic a Caribbean sunset.

For this version, adidas went with honey-yellow suede across the upper, matching Three Stripes, and leather lining on the inside. The gum rubber outsole gives it that familiar Gazelle Indoor look, while the lack of contrasting colors keeps the design fairly simple. It’s a different look from some of Bad Bunny’s earlier Gazelles, though the connection to Puerto Rico hasn’t changed.

That connection goes back to 2024, when the partnership introduced the blue “San Juan” Gazelle, which referenced both Bad Bunny’s hometown and Casa Amadeo, a longtime Puerto Rican music store in New York. The following year brought the Gazelle City Series during his Puerto Rico residency, with three pairs based on places around the island. “El Yunque” drew from the tropical rainforest, “Santurce” referenced the neighborhood’s music and art culture, and “Cabo Rojo” used colors associated with the region’s pink salt flats.

Rather than focusing on another specific location, the “Solar Gold” gets its inspiration from the island’s sunsets. The yellow suede and gum sole keep things straightforward, making this one of the simpler colorways in Bad Bunny’s growing Gazelle collection.

Bad Bunny adidas Gazelle Indoor Solar Gold Release Date

The Bad Bunny x adidas Gazelle Indoor “Solar Gold” will release worldwide on October 17, 2026, through adidas.com and select retailers. Registration opens October 13th on the adidas CONFIRMED app.

Jalen Brunson Confirms Two Upcoming Nike Kobe Sneakers Are Releasing

Jalen Brunson has two more Nike Kobe sneakers coming out. The Knicks guard recently talked about both pairs on his “Roommates Show” podcast, confirming they are heading to retail. He has worn plenty of player-exclusive Kobe models in New York, but these upcoming pairs include an orange and blue Kobe 3 Low for Knicks fans and a personal Kobe 5 dedicated to his father, Rick Brunson, who played for several NBA teams before becoming a coach.

The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Arancia” is up first, and Brunson confirmed we can expect it this December. Bright orange dominates the upper, accented by blue Nike Swooshes to match the iconic Madison Square Garden home threads. This isn’t his first nod to the Big Apple either—he previously dropped a New York-inspired Kobe 6 Protro “Statue of Liberty”—so the “Arancia” keeps that hometown momentum rolling.

The story behind the Kobe 5 Protro “What The Rick” hits a lot closer to home for the Brunson family. Rick Brunson spent his playing days constantly moving from team to team, meaning Jalen spent his childhood frequently packing up and adapting to new cities. Jalen has opened up about those hectic years on the podcast, noting that his dad’s journey was far tougher than anything he faces in the league today. The mismatched “What The” theme serves as a direct thank you to his father for grinding through those years.

Brunson confirmed that the Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Arancia” will release in December 2026, followed by the Kobe 5 Protro “What The Rick” sometime during Spring/Summer 2027.

Tyler, The Creator x Converse Pro Leather “Red” Now Available

UPDATE 10/13/26: The GOLF le FLEUR x Converse 1908 Pro Leather in “Red” is now available on Converse.com for $105.

Original Story 7/30/26:
Tyler, The Creator continues his collaboration with Converse with another take on the brand’s Pro Leather for the upcoming release. Instead of re-releasing the old basketball shoe Tyler previously worked on, the duo decided to put a Tyler twist on this pair.

Red covers nearly the entire sneaker, including the upper, laces, lining, and sole. With the color blocking kept simple, most of the attention stays on the shape. The low-top profile is still recognizable, but the added size gives it a different look from the slimmer court model Converse introduced decades ago.

An embossed star near the toe breaks up the otherwise uniform finish. It is a small detail, though it connects back to the branding that has long been tied to the Pro Leather.

The Tyler, The Creator x Converse Pro Leather “Red” will release October 13, 2026 through Converse.com.

Tyler, The Creator x Converse Pro Leather Pack Now Available

UPDATE 10/13/26: GOLF le FLEUR x Converse 1908 Pro Leather colorways are now available on Converse.com for $105 each.

Original Story 9/16/26:
Tyler, The Creator and Converse are adding three more colorways to the 1908 Pro Leather lineup, continuing a partnership that has grown well beyond his earlier Golf Wang releases.

The 1908 Pro Leather surfaced earlier this summer after Tyler was spotted wearing the model ahead of its wider launch. Converse eventually introduced the shoe in green and white options, keeping the familiar Pro Leather shape while working in a few changes that give this version its own look.

Three more pairs are now on the way in White/Red, Black/Pristine, and Bison/Dusty Citron. White and red keeps things simple with a familiar two-tone setup, while the black pair leans closer to the model’s basketball roots. The Bison version stands out more, mixing a brown suede base with Dusty Citron accents.

Suede covers the uppers across the collection, joined by the Converse star logo along the sides and the molded toe that has become one of the more noticeable details on the 1908 Pro Leather.

The Tyler, The Creator x Converse 1908 Pro Leather collection is expected to release October 13, 2026 Converse and additional retailers. Each colorway will retail for $105.

Air Jordan 3 “Santa” Features A Throwback To 1985

The Air Jordan 3 is getting a Christmas makeover this November, and this one is just for kids. Called the “Santa” colorway, the shoe borrows its red, white, and black colors from Santa’s outfit, including a fuzzy lining that you wouldn’t normally find on a Jordan 3. There’s even a reference to an old Nike Christmas ad from 1985, back when the Air Jordan line was just getting started.

Looking at the photos, nearly all of the upper is covered in University Red leather, with darker Gym Red around the toe and heel. The tongue and eyestays are white, giving the black laces a little contrast against the red leather. A red Jumpman is stitched onto the tongue, and underneath is a white midsole with a visible Air unit and black rubber outsole.

The fuzzy black material around the ankle is meant to resemble Santa’s boots, but the insoles might be the more interesting part of the shoe. They show an image of the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” from Nike’s 1985 Christmas advertisement, bringing a little history into the holiday theme. On the back, there’s a gold Jumpman with AIR lettering on a black heel panel, surrounded by dark red overlays.

Air Jordan 3 Santa Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Santa” will release on November 21, 2026, in grade school ($155), preschool ($95), and toddler ($80) sizes. Adults will have the Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice” to look forward to, with that pair also releasing on November 21.

BBC ICECREAM x Reebok Board Flip “Pumpkin” Releases October 23rd

Remember when the mid-2000s skate scene belonged to the Board Flip? BBC ICECREAM and Reebok are throwing it back to that exact era by reviving the “Pumpkin” colorway right before Halloween hits. While their collaborative lineup has seen a steady stream of archival releases throughout 2026, this particular pair brings back a truly unforgettable design from the vault.

Stepping away from the hyper-vibrant themes dominating recent drops, this setup prefers a much moodier, low-key look. Most of the shoe is covered in black perforated leather, giving it a darker look than some of the brighter Board Flip releases we’ve seen recently. Orange leather wraps around the T-toe and appears again on the tongue and heel, while light blue laces and a matching stripe along the midsole add some contrast. The combination keeps the original color scheme intact without changing much about the shoe’s early 2000s design.

Every nostalgic graphic makes its way onto this re-release exactly where collectors would expect them. The familiar ICECREAM details are also back, including the embroidered running ice cream graphic near the heel and the brand’s cloud-shaped logos on the tongue and rear tabs. Underneath, the outsole features a yellow and brown design with a waffle-like pattern, adding another detail that fits the shoe’s playful styling.

The BBC ICECREAM x Reebok Board Flip “Pumpkin” releases October 22, 2026, through BBC ICECREAM, followed by a wider launch on Reebok.com on October 23rd. Retail is set at $150.

New Balance 1890 “Metallic Blue” Gets a Futuristic Blue and Silver Look

The New Balance 1890 “Metallic Blue” is arriving in Fall/Winter 2026 with glossy blue panels covering much of the front. The metallic finish wraps around the toe before extending along the sides in curved sections outlined in silver. Black mesh fills the spaces between the overlays, with darker blue panels sitting beneath the large silver “N” logos.

Silver takes over toward the heel, where black textured inserts are worked into the metallic panels. “1890” lettering appears on the lateral side, and a small New Balance logo is placed at the back. The rest of the upper includes a blck mesh tongue, speckled black-and-white laces, and blue detailing around the eyelets. Light grey padding lines the collar.

Brain Dead Brings Back The adidas Barricade V For Holiday 2026

Brain Dead and adidas are bringing back the Barricade V in two colorways for 2026. The tennis shoe originally released in 2008 and later returned in 2013. This latest version keeps much of the original design, with a few changes to the materials and finishes.

Brain Dead and adidas have worked on tennis shoes before, including the Barricade 13 and Stan Smith Unstructured. Their past releases also include climbing shoes and a bowling collection.

Both Barricade V colorways feature mesh uppers, synthetic overlays, and metallic silver detailing. Dark Green covers one pair, while the second comes in Mystery Ink. The translucent-looking panels and glossy finishes are reminiscent of electronics from the late 1990s and early 2000s, fitting the shoe’s original design era.

The Brain Dead x adidas Barricade V has already appeared at overseas retailers, with a U.S. release expected during Holiday 2026. An exact release date has yet to be announced.
