The 3D-Printed adidas ClimaCool Surfaces in Pink

The Adidas ClimaCool “Pink” colorway is the newest to be spotted in the company’s growing 3D-printed range. The futuristic ClimaCool has previously launched in a few different colors but this bright iteration could be the boldest of the lot so far.

The silhouette itself is praised for its super-breathable nature, offering up a laceless, lightweight 3D-printed upper. Over the last year pairs have dropped in limited quantities, and have built momentum for the model, indicating a possible wider release in the near future. Now Ricardo Nunes from SneakersBR has shared a closer look at the vibrant Pink iteration, with bold black Three Stripes branding, offering a preview of what may be on the way.

As this is the latest sample spotted, it’s unknown if we will see this exact color land in stores, however, its release would inject some new life and bolder colorways in the spotlight to shine on the models futuristic construction.

While there isn’t an official drop date, the signs are pointing to a possible Spring 2026 launch. Keep an eye out for further updates as they look to bring more 3D-printed shoes in the brand’s range to more feet next year.

The JD Sports-Exclusive Nike Air Max 95 “Apple Green” Returns Spring 2026

The Nike Air Max 95 “Apple Green” is officially returning in 2026. First a JD Sports exclusive back in 2010, this colorway became a cult classic among collectors desperate for its scarce blend of accents.

From UK retailer Block P, this retro brings back the OG design with a few small updates. The upper features the classic gradient of Anthracite, White, and Iron Grey, a look that defined many iconic Air Max 95 releases. Hits of Photo Blue and Action Green highlight the branding, lace loops, and visible Air units, keeping the colorway as fresh as its debut run. That’s the detail longtime fans will immediately notice.

One of the biggest changes comes underfoot. Nike ups the pair’s comfort game by giving the Air Max heel bubble a size increase. The subtle tweak gives the sneaker a more modern fit while staying true to its OG DNA. Purists might want the OG configuration exactly as-is, but this update gives the retro a modern twist without subtracting from the nostalgia factor.

Back in 2010, limited availability made the “Green Apple” one of the harder finds in the Air Max 95 lineup. Its comeback is a chance for both veterans and newer sneaker fans to secure a piece of that history. Whether or not it stays tied to JD Sports remains to be seen, but the excitement around this drop is undeniable.

The Nike Air Max 95 “Apple Green” will release in Spring 2026 with a retail price of $190 USD.

Jordan Brand digs into its vault again, bringing back a fan-favorite color scheme with deep Olympic roots. The Jordan MVP 92 “Golden Moments” reintroduces the celebrated black and gold palette, nodding to the 2012 “Golden Moments” Pack. That release honored Michael Jordan’s 1992 Dream Team legacy with the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 7 draped in regal gold tones.

In 2025, the story continues on the MVP 92 hybrid silhouette. This model blends elements from the Air Jordan 6, 7, and 8 which represent Michael Jordan’s first 3 championship wins. The new drop will come dressed in a full black suede upper with mesh overlays and a matching black inner lining. Vibrant metallic gold accents break up the design across the midsole, tongue, pull tab, and heel in combination with understated sail hits to reflect the original 2012 pack. Branding continues with the Nike Air heel mark and “Flight” script tongue patch.

Beyond the retro story, the colorway also feels updated on the refreshed silhouette. The materials lend a more premium finish to the MVP 92 and the design feels balanced between heritage performance DNA and a lifestyle-ready aesthetic.

Free The Youth x Air Jordan 16 Releases Summer 2026

Jordan Brand is teaming up with Ghana’s Free The Youth for a bold new take on the Air Jordan 16 set to release in Summer 2026.

This is the label’s first official sneaker collaboration. After joining Jordan’s 40th Anniversary campaign in 2025, the creative collective now puts its stamp on one of the brand’s lesser-used silhouettes.

The upper arrives wrapped in a grey-white shroud, made from tumbled leather. Remove it, and the energy shifts—bright orange mesh panels and oversized “FTY” branding dominate the base. Black trim carves out structure, while pops of neon green hit the heel tabs and pull loop.

The design flips between subtle and loud depending on how it’s worn. That tension feels intentional—reflecting the group’s mission of empowering youth through culture, style, and duality.

This is also the first Jordan 16 to hit shelves since 2020. For longtime fans of the model, that alone makes this release one to watch.

Free The Youth Jordan 16 Release Date

The Free The Youth x Air Jordan 16 will release in Summer 2026 through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $250 USD.

KNWLS Brings A Nike Air Max Muse Made For Ballet

The KNWLS x Nike Air Max Muse Ballet launches Fall 2025. The shoe reinterprets the iconic Air Max Muse with a contemporary spin.

The unit sole remains unchanged: chunky at the heel, slim at the forefoot. The upper, however, draws inspiration from ballet, with a pointed toe, hollowed midline and shorter tongue that work together to create an edgy, streamlined silhouette. The detailing sets this silhouette apart from previous lifestyle releases.

Glossy TPU on the toe cap and sidewalls brings a shiny contrast. The detail is particularly striking on the Black patent colorway. Two other colorways join the release: Flat Spin/Veranda-Fiberglass-Light Beige Chalk and Elemental Pink/Light Crimson-Venice. Blending fashion cues with sport design, the Air Max heads down runway territory.

Release Date & Where To Buy

Retailing at $210, the KNWLS x Nike Air Max Muse Ballet launches Fall 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers.

Oregon Ducks Reveal Nike Vaporposite “Mummy Duck” Cleats

UPDATE 9/26/25: The Oregon Ducks will debut the “Mummy Duck” Vaporposite cleats in their matchup against #3 Penn State. Despite the buzz, Nike confirmed neither the cleats nor the Foamposite will release publicly.

Original Story 9/21/25:
Nike continues its streak of creativity with the Oregon Ducks by unveiling the Oregon Ducks x Nike Vaporposite “Mummy Duck” Cleats. While the Ducks have long been known for their audacious uniforms and footwear, the latest design features the perfect combination of school pride and tongue-in-cheek storytelling.

The “Mummy Duck” cleats come in a bone white base, covered by mummy-esque layers wrapped around a Foamposite-style shell. Lights up, reflective accents give a ghoulish pop, while black Swooshes are torn and frayed for a distressed appearance. Volt plates and pull tabs complete the vibrant look for maximum contrast and in-game impact.

Oregon-specific details bring it all together. The tongue of the cleat features the Ducks’ mascot wrapped in mummy bandages, while the heel pull tabs carry the school’s signature “O.” A design with a healthy dose of Halloween fun, but with enough nods to the program’s identity to remain authentic. Functionally, the Vaporposite technology provides a super-lightweight structure with elite grip. It’s the perfect marriage of bravado and performance that makes Oregon’s player exclusives so appealing.

Like with most Ducks footwear, this pair will remain exclusive to the program. “Mummy Duck” cleats won’t drop retail, but they’re another example of Nike’s commitment to some of the most innovative player exclusives in the game.

Mike Tyson Narrates Nike Ryder Cup AD Campaign

Today is the first day of The Ryder Cup and Nike is shining a light on golf’s biggest names. Rory McIlroy is at the forefront of Europe’s team while Scottie Scheffler leads Team U.S.A. The two have one of the most watched rivalries of the tournament.

Nike debuted a new short film to celebrate the start of the competition. Narrated by boxer Mike Tyson, the spot captures the drama of a fight night, with some street culture added in for good measure. New York City-based street golf legend @tigerhoodnyc is seen hanging up a poster, hyping up the upcoming showdown between McIlroy and Scheffler.

Nike is clearly stoked to highlight the battle between McIlroy and Scheffler, as the narrative nods back to the brand’s past of bringing sports and culture together. From Jordan on the basketball court to Tiger Woods’ worldwide influence, Nike proved that it still has the winning formula when it comes to storytelling with this latest piece.

The Ryder Cup drama is upon us and Nike’s story telling kicks it up a notch. You can watch the campaign ad below.

Only Losers of the Mars Yard 3.0 Can Buy This Tom Sachs Nike General Purpose Shoe

If you missed the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 through the I.S.R.U. program, here’s a second chance. Nike and Sachs introduce the General Purpose Participation Shoe, created as a thank-you release for those who came up short in the draw.

First revealed on the Complex Sneakers Podcast, this sneaker carries the same stripped-down appeal as the 2022 General Purpose Shoe. Even its campaign mirrors the original rollout, with offbeat ads highlighting its purpose as an exclusive consolation drop for I.S.R.U. participants. That detail makes this pair one of the most unique NikeCraft releases to date.

The shoe has a tonal grey upper accented by light yellow on the Swoosh and forefoot piping. Red I.S.R.U. branding pops on the heel, side panel, and pull tabs, directly connecting the sneaker to the program. This particular design details have Tom Sachs’ utilitarian flavor, but do not dilute Nike’s storytelling edge one bit. The shoe is also subdued, yet collectible, much like previous NikeCraft drops.

Pre-orders are live now in the I.S.R.U. app for $110, but access is strictly limited. Only those who entered and lost the Mars Yard 3.0 draw are eligible. Orders will ship in Summer 2026, making this pair both a consolation prize and a collectible for sneaker fans.

The Nike x Tom Sachs General Purpose Participation Shoe shows us that losing can be winning. It isn’t a Mars Yard 3.0, but it is a continuation of Sachs’ mission to combine the banal utility of day-to-day survival and the art of cultural narrative. For fans, this one’s worth the shelf space.

Nike Air Max 95 “Black/Game Royal” Delivers Bold Retro Energy

The Nike Air Max 95 “Black/Game Royal” steps out this Fall 2025 with the OG Sergio Lozano design.

The mixed black mesh/dark grey overlays get a fresh vibe with the angular Game Royal accents.

Nike has updated the Air Max 95 here and there in recent years, but this iteration feels especially fresh. The mini embroidered Swoosh in royal blue is a premium touch. That’s the kind of detail that’ll catch sneakerheads’ eyes at first glance.

Air visibility is another win as the Game Royal units under the heel and forefoot add to the sneaker’s comfort. Reflective 3M hits lace up the side panels for style and visibility.

Pairs will be released on Nike.com and select retailers this Fall 2025 for $190 USD.

The forefoot is perforated for airflow without compromising on a slim fit that offers ultimate control.

Stamping at the translucent heel counter in Bright Crimson Nike SB branding contrasts the neutral colorway, while pull tabs on the sides make for easy on-and-off.

South Park Crocs Releasing September 26th

UPDATE 9/25/25: The South Park Crocs collection, originally planned for September 12th, will now release September 26, 2025. The drop is confirmed and will be available on Crocs.com.

Original Story 8/26/25:
Crocs has partnered with South Park for a playful riff on the Classic Clog silhouette. Inspired by the show’s most iconic characters, the collaboration spotlights Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, Towelie, and Randy Marsh, with each Croc imbued with the cartoon personalities of their life-size counterpoints.

Every design is accented with character-specific details. Towelie’s variant is finished with a soft terry cloth texture, while Kenny’s comes with a faux-fur fleece lining as a direct nod to his signature parka. Cartman’s red and blue version is outfitted with bright red uppers, contrasting blue accents, and pom-poms that mimic his signature winter hat. Randy’s bold turquoise uppers are adorned with custom Jibbitz charms paying homage to his South Park misadventures.

Details on charms across the collection add an extra layer of detail as South Park aficionados will immediately spot. Creative cues like these are a nice diversion from more usual Crocs drops as the collaboration bridges the gap between pop culture nostalgia and everyday comfort. Crocs collectors and South Park fans will feel like it’s a special crossover moment when they add a pair to their rotation.
