Nike GT Cut 3 PE Made For Jason Kidd And His AAU Team Revealed

Nike Basketball put together a special GT Cut 3 PE for Jason Kidd, tying the pair to the girls’ AAU program that carries his name. While Kidd is now best known for coaching in the NBA, this exclusive colorway shows Nike is still finding ways to connect his legacy to the next generation of players.

The design leans into the Jason Kidd Select GBB team identity with a loud mix of neon pink, purple, black, and white. Bright pink takes over most of the upper, while purple wraps the midsole and outsole for extra contrast. White medial panels and oversized black Swooshes break up the color blocking, giving the shoe a sharp performance look that still feels built around team branding.

Personal details make this GT Cut 3 stand out even more. Kidd’s signature appears near the heel, the team logo lands on the tongue, and the insoles feature a flaming basketball graphic with “1 of 1” branding that confirms the pair’s player-exclusive status. Those touches push the shoe beyond a simple PE and make it feel like a true one-off made for the program.

In-hand images also reveal an SP25 production code, which suggests this pair was produced earlier than its public appearance might imply. That timing also explains why Nike used the now previous-generation GT Cut 3 as the base. At this point, there is no sign of a retail release, so this Jason Kidd PE looks set to remain a rare team-exclusive pair.

Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” Returns January 2027

First released in February 1997, the Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” is now expected to return in 2027 as part of the colorway’s 30th anniversary. The pair debuted alongside four other OG styles, then spent years in the Jordan Brand vault before making its retro return in 2012.

Original 1997 Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” release.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 12 drew inspiration from Japan’s Rising Sun flag. This influence appears through the signature stitched lines that radiate across the upper. The “Obsidian” edition stands out thanks to its deep navy leather base paired with clean white overlays and Carolina blue accents. Those UNC-inspired details reference Michael Jordan’s college roots and give the sneaker a refined yet sporty look.

When it first released, the “Obsidian” colorway broke away from the traditional Chicago Bulls palette that defined most early Air Jordans. Because of that, it became the only original Air Jordan 12 colorway never worn by Michael Jordan during an NBA game. Despite that distinction, the design quickly earned respect among collectors for its clean layout and versatile color blocking.

The model returned once before in June 2012, retailing for $160. A low-top variation also appeared in 2004, but the classic high-top version has not seen a wide retro release since the 2012 drop. Over time, the “Obsidian” has developed a reputation as a sought-after pair among longtime Air Jordan fans.

The Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” 2027 retro is expected to stay close to its original design. The sneaker will feature its signature navy leather upper, white mudguard, and Carolina blue accents while keeping the Rising Sun-inspired stitching intact.

Air Jordan 12 Obsidian 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” is currently expected to return on January 23, 2027, as part of the colorway’s 30th anniversary celebration. The pair will retail for $215 USD and release through Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. More release details should surface as 2027 approaches.

Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” Returns March 2027

The Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” is set to return in Spring 2027, bringing back a clean mid-2000s colorway that many Jordan fans never forgot. First released in 2005, the pair never reached the same status as the model’s original runs, but its understated blocking and easy wearability helped it gain lasting appeal over time. With wearable pairs now much harder to come by, this retro gives both longtime collectors and newer fans another shot at a quietly respected release.

White tumbled leather is expected to make up most of the upper again, keeping the shoe close to the original release. Red accents then take over the eyestays, laces, collar, tongue, and branding, while grey appears on the eyelets, liner pattern, and parts of the outsole. The “Red Steel” nickname comes from the way the color blocking echoes the classic “Steel” Air Jordan 10, only with red replacing the usual blue tone.

The Air Jordan 10 remains one of the cleaner models in the early signature line. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and first introduced in 1995, the silhouette is known for its straightforward upper and outsole that highlights Michael Jordan’s early career accomplishments. That history gives every retro a little more weight, even when the colorway comes from a later era.

Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” is currently expected to release on March 20, 2027 for $215 through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

Undefeated x Converse Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” Raffle Live

UPDATE 4/17/26: The raffle for the Undefeated x Converse Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” is now live. CLICK HERE to enter before the raffle closes on April 19th at 12 PM ET. Any remaining pairs will release on Monday, April 20, 2026, at select Undefeated stores in Los Angeles and New York.

Original Story 4/13/26:
UNDEFEATED, Converse, and Major League Baseball are teaming up on a Chuck 70 that digs into a real piece of baseball history. The “Brooklyn Dodgers” colorway looks back at the franchise before the move to Los Angeles and gives the shoe a story that feels more thoughtful than the usual team-inspired drop.

This duo takes inspiration from the Dodgers’ pre-1958 uniforms as the color black was once completely absent from their color scheme. The upper is decked out in black faux ostrich leather and the stitching and embroidery add extra definition and wear to the shoe. A large B logo patches the side, branding from Brooklyn hits the tongue and custom Converse x UNDEFEATED x Dodgers plates are added to the heel.

Baby blue branding on the inner tongue brings in that classic Dodgers look without making the whole design feel too on-the-nose. That is where the shoe gets it right. It clearly respects the past, but it still feels like something people would actually want to wear now instead of a pair built only around nostalgia.

Converse, UNDEFEATED, and MLB also gave the campaign a real New York connection by bringing in Kalil Justin, Ashley Alicea, and graffiti legend Futura. That part matters because this release is tied so closely to Brooklyn. It helps the project feel more rooted in place and less like a quick history lesson turned into a sneaker.

The UNDEFEATED x Converse Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” is scheduled to release on Saturday, April 18. Pairs will be sold at select UNDEFEATED stores, MLB Shop, the MLB NYC flagship, and the Dodgers Team Store.

Kith Classics x adidas Originals Spring 2026 Brings BW Army, Samba, and Japan Styles

Kith Classics and adidas Originals are back together for Spring 2026, and this season the focus shifts to the BW Army. For the first time, Kith puts its own stamp on the vintage indoor trainer, rolling out four new colorways while also bringing back the Samba and Japan with refreshed details. The drop keeps the collection rooted in adidas heritage, but the execution feels cleaner, softer, and more premium across the board.

The BW Army leads the collection in Raw Desert/Cardboard, Tent Green/Aero Green, Wonder Orchid/Magic Mauve, and Aurora Coffee/Shadow Brown. Each pair mixes leather, nubuck, and suede for a layered look that feels elevated without overdoing it. Tonal paneling keeps the design understated, while white laces, extra lace options, premium leather footbeds, and co-branded hits on the tongue, heel, and insole give the silhouette a more exclusive finish. Even with the updates, the shoe still stays true to its roots and keeps the familiar stripped-back BW Army look intact.

The Samba and Japan also return as part of the Spring 2026 lineup in evergreen color schemes built around Collegiate Green, White, and Black. Kith updates the Samba with a leather upper, suede T-toe, perforated toebox, side branding, and alternating heel debossing. The Japan takes a slightly different route with an all-nubuck build, matching perforated detailing, and similar co-branded touches, while standing out as the only pair in the collection to use round laces.

The Kith Classics x adidas Originals Spring 2026 drawings open today, April 17th, through the Kith App worldwide. A wider release will follow through Kith’s Monday Program on April 20th at 11 AM, available in-store, online, and through the Kith App in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo.

Nike SB Dunk Low “Songkran” Friends & Family Edition Surfaces

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Songkran” Friends & Family has surfaced with a louder twist on the Thai-inspired concept, pushing the already colorful story into even more exclusive territory. Nike SB has been on a strong run lately, and this alternate version builds on that momentum with a more expressive mix of textures, colors, and cultural references tied to the Solar New Year celebration.

Green woven-style overlays wrap the upper, while pink side panels and a bamboo-toned toe box keep the palette lively without losing the original theme. Bright orange-red laces add even more contrast, and the beige Swoosh helps balance the look across the sidewalls. A lotus flower hit near the heel gives the pair another standout detail, while the overall construction appears to lean further into the handcrafted inspiration behind the design.

In-hand images shared after the pair surfaced added more context to the story. This Friends & Family edition was reportedly connected to designer Heather Truong and draws from sticky rice baskets, giving the shoe a deeper cultural angle beyond just color. “Ascend” branding on the tongue ties the release to Nike’s AAPI employee network, adding another layer of meaning to an already detailed project.

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Songkran” Friends & Family is not expected to release to the public. That keeps this version as a true inner-circle pair, while the standard “Som Tom” or “Songkran” release remains the one available to the wider Nike SB audience.

For now, this exclusive edition stands as a more limited and more vibrant extension of one of Nike SB’s strongest recent storytelling drops.

Nike’s LeBron 10th Anniversary Cavs Jersey And Shorts Are Available Now

UPDATE 4/17/26: The Nike LeBron 2015-16 10-year anniversary uniform has officially landed on Nike. Pricing is set at $260 for the jersey, while the matching shorts retail for $155. Buy the jersey HERE and the shorts HERE.

Original Story 4/15/26:
Nike is revisiting one of LeBron James’ defining career moments with a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey set inspired by the 2015-16 championship season. Official images show a black Swingman-style jersey and matching shorts finished with gold and wine accents, echoing the look and feel tied to that historic title run.

The jersey keeps things clean with a large Cavaliers “C” logo across the chest, LeBron’s No. 23 on the front and back, and James lettering across the rear. A special signature patch near the hem highlights the commemorative angle, directly referencing Cleveland’s 2015-16 season and giving the piece a more collectible feel than a standard team issue.

Matching shorts continue the same theme with black mesh construction, gold trim, and classic Cavaliers branding on the leg. The overall setup feels rooted in the era without copying the exact on-court uniform, instead translating that championship identity into a more wearable retail format.

Nike appears to be using the release to honor the 10-year window around Cleveland’s unforgettable 3-1 Finals comeback, still one of the biggest moments of LeBron’s career. That timing would point to a June launch, though official release details have not been announced yet.

This Cavaliers commemorative jersey set adds another chapter to Nike’s ongoing LeBron storytelling, this time centered on the season that delivered Cleveland its long-awaited title. More release information should surface soon.

Nike Air Liquid Max “Triple Black” Releases April 30th

Nike is taking a straightforward route with the latest Air Liquid Max “Triple Black”, but the shoe still feels anything but plain. The color scheme stays fully black from top to bottom, yet the mix of finishes keeps it from looking flat. Mesh covers most of the upper, while glossy molded pieces wrap the mudguard and heel, giving the design a slick, modern feel.

Colors are understated as usual, allowing the silhouette to pop more. A black Swoosh fades into the side panels, tongue branding is also subtle and the entire upper features a tactile texture that pops more in close ups. Detailing that texture creates a slight scaled effect on the shoe in some photos, giving this blackout iteration just a bit more character.

Speaking of the outsole, that’s definitely the talk of the show. Nike equipped this release with a full-length Air unit that’s comprised of bubble-like pods spanning the entire bottom. This alone really sets the shoe apart from your typical Air Max offerings. Peeking through, the translucent outsole features a smoky finish that continues the dark color scheme without going overboard.

Nike even carried that same energy over to the packaging, with an iridescent black box that fits the pair nicely.

The Nike Air Liquid Max “Triple Black” releases April 30, 2026 for $230 via SNKRS and select retailers.

The Air Jordan 1 Low TD Cleats A “White Cement” Makeover

One of Jordan Brand’s signature style motifs will soon be making its way to the football field in the form of the Air Jordan 1 Low TD Cleat “White Cement” edition. Rather than overthinking the shoe, this colorway features a clean canvas of white leather topped with black speckled overlays to add some of that AJ3 inspiration to the classic football sneaker silhouette.

Much of the upper is made up of premium white leather that helps keep things looking clean. Case in point: you’ll probably be able to rock these around town with ease. Black cement-inspired speckling hits the toe panel, eyestay, and heel of the shoe to add contrast without distracting from the simplicity of the build. A black leather Swoosh is printed across the sides while black Jumpman branding on the tongue helps finish off the look.

White studs underfoot keep the color blocking consistent and push the design even closer to that all-white, performance-ready finish. Jordan has used the Air Jordan 1 Low TD Cleat as a canvas for lifestyle-inspired makeovers before, but this “White Cement” colorway stands out because it taps into one of the brand’s most beloved visual cues without losing its athletic purpose.

The Air Jordan 1 Low TD Cleat “White Cement” is set to release on May 1, 2026. Retail price is locked in at $145, with pairs expected to launch through Nike.com and select retailers.

For athletes and Jordan fans alike, this one brings classic sneaker energy to a cleated silhouette in a way that should get plenty of attention once it hits shelves.

Cecilie Bahnsen Gives The ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 A Bold Mary Jane Makeover

Cecilie Bahnsen is giving the ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 a look that barely feels rooted in performance footwear. Rather than playing it safe, she strips the upper down and rebuilds it with a no-sew Mary Jane shape that changes the whole mood. The sole still brings that chunky, segmented look, but the upper pulls things in a softer, more fashion-leaning direction.

Bahnsen’s influence is evident right away in the finer details. The rubber bootie opening lends some snug comfort to the shoe as if it were almost slip-on, while the blossom cutout across the top steals the show. Little floral embossments stamped across the toe and sides is the final touch that compliments without cluttering. The whole aesthetic is breezy and refined while still feeling a little off-kilter in the best way possible.

The pale pink shade arrives as you would expect and lends itself nicely to the overall concept while giving the shoe its lighter, sweet demeanor. Every minute detail pops just a bit more, especially the floral cuts and soft matte finishes. The black pair presents itself entirely different. It feels sleeker, slightly sharper, and allows the glossy accents to speak for themselves.

The Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 will release April 18, 2026, via Cecilie Bahnsen’s online boutique.

adidas SPZL Spring/Summer 2026 Collection Includes Six Archive Driven Pairs

adidas SPZL is loading up Spring/Summer 2026 with a six-piece drop that feels made for people who still care about the brand’s deeper archive. Instead of forcing one theme across every pair, this set moves through different eras and shapes, which gives the release more personality.

The lineup features the Mendocino SPZL, Burnden II SPZL, Longridge SPZL, Samoa II SPZL, Gralfy SPZL, and Punstock SPZL. Some pairs lean sporty, some feel terrace-driven, and a few pull from more casual lifestyle roots. That mix is what makes this drop easy to pay attention to.

The Punstock SPZL will probably get the most looks. It first showed up in 2018 as a wallabee-like spin on the adidas Freizeit, and this new version changes the formula a bit with a soft beige suede upper. The shape still feels unusual in a good way, but the material swap gives it a lighter, easier look for the season.

Elsewhere Samoa II SPZL leans into a darker vintage territory, Longridge SPZL takes things more towards classic runner territory. Gralfy SPZL plays it cool with a minimalist take on the silhouette while Mendocino SPZL and Burnden II SPZL close out the archive laden pack.

Expect the entire adidas SPZL Spring/Summer 2026 Collection to release April 24, 2026 via adidas.com and select retailers.

PUMA MB.05 “Showtime” Releases May 28th

The PUMA MB.05 “Showtime” brings full LaMelo Ball energy in a colorway that refuses to blend in. Poison Pink floods the upper, tongue, laces, midsole, and outsole, giving the shoe a bright, animated look from every angle. Yellow Alert cuts through that pink-heavy base with sharp graphic hits, while Ultra Blue adds contrast across the branding, text details, and outsole to make the entire design pop even harder.

Mesh layers on synthetic panels provide some texture to the upper, but it’s those cutout side panels that really take it over the top. The slashes expose striped underlays that lend speed, aggression and a dash of the future. The serrated midfoot strap provides additional attitude, highlighted by the stitched word art throughout the molded piece.

Signature details are spread throughout the shoe and help give this pair more personality. “ONE OF ONE” branding appears near the forefoot and lower overlay, while “NOT FROM HERE” is stamped near the lateral toe for another familiar Melo touch. The heel keeps that same energy going with the winged “1 of 1” logo in Yellow Alert and Ultra Blue, giving the back end of the shoe just as much presence as the front.

Underneath, the outsole sticks with the Poison Pink base and adds a large blue “1” through the center, along with a skull graphic near the heel.

The PUMA MB.05 “Showtime” releases May 28, 2026 via PUMA.com and select retailers for $130.

Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” Returns For 2027 All-Star Weekend

The Air Jordan 7 “Raptors”, also known as the “Playoffs” colorway, is expected to return in 2027 for the first time since 2012. Originally released in 1992, the black, red, and purple design remains one of the most recognizable looks in Air Jordan 7 history. Its return will also coincide with the model’s 35th Anniversary, adding even more significance to the comeback.

This colorway was one of the pairs Michael Jordan wore throughout the 1992 NBA Playoffs while securing his second championship with the Chicago Bulls. The Air Jordan 7 also appeared during one of his most famous moments — “The Shrug” in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals after Jordan hit six first-half three-pointers against the Portland Trail Blazers. Over time, the black, red, and purple palette earned the nickname “Raptors” due to its resemblance to the early team colors of the Toronto Raptors.

Michael Jordan’s iconic “The Shrug” during the 1992 NBA Finals.

Early reports suggest the 2027 retro will stay true to the original design. The sneaker is expected to feature a black nubuck upper paired with bold red and purple accents across the midsole, branding, and heel tabs. Signature geometric details on the tongue and outsole should also return, maintaining the early-1990s aesthetic that helped define the model.

When the Air Jordan 7 first debuted, it stood apart from previous Air Jordan releases. The design removed visible Air units and introduced a Huarache-style neoprene inner sleeve, focusing on a snug fit and lighter performance on the court. That forward-thinking approach made the silhouette a standout in Nike Basketball’s lineup during the early ’90s.

Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” is currently expected to release on February 20, 2027 during NBA All-Star Weekend for $215 USD via select retailers and Nike SNKRS.

Air Jordan 11 “Gamma” Restock Confirmed For The Nike SoHo Location

The Air Jordan 11 “Gamma” is getting a surprise return tomorrow at Nike SoHo, giving New York shoppers another shot at one of the most talked-about Jordan releases in recent memory. The drop is scheduled for April 17, 2026 from 10 AM to 8 PM EST at 611 Broadway, with Nike using its new SoHo location to host the event around the iconic black-and-blue retro.

Nike sent out push alerts through the SNKRS Map feature on April 16th, directing users to the in-store event and confirming the upcoming release window. In-store signage at Nike SoHo also previewed the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma,” making it clear that the launch is happening at the Manhattan space. Early details point to a first come, first served format, though shoppers will want to stay alert in case Nike adds any reservation or entry instructions closer to opening.

The Air Jordan 11 “Gamma” already made major noise with its recent return, bringing back the same kind of energy that defined peak holiday Jordan 11 launches years ago. Black mesh, glossy patent leather, Gamma Blue accents, and a clean translucent outsole continue to make this pair one of the more popular non-OG Air Jordan 11 colorways ever released.

Nike’s SNKRS Map feature also gets a meaningful spotlight through this event, as the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma” restock is easily one of the most notable releases tied to the tool so far.

For now, anyone in New York looking to secure a pair should be ready early and keep an eye on the app before doors open tomorrow.

Pokémon x Target Collection Celebrates 30 Years With a Nostalgic Kanto-Inspired Drop

Pokémon is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an extensive collection coming to Target. While not limited to just clothes, the assortment will feature over 100 pieces spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, electronics, candies, snacks, toys and more when it launches later this year.

The Starter’s Kanto pullover jacket appears to be one of the heavier hitters in the drop. Joe Jonas wears it in the campaign, and the design pulls straight from the original games with a blue, red, and yellow color scheme. Hidden on the pouch pocket flap are the eight Kanto Gym Badges, which gives the jacket a nice extra detail without overdoing it.

The rest of the collection keeps that same nostalgic feel. Target mixed in collabs with familiar names like Mead, Caboodles, Lip Smacker, and Starter, while the accessories side adds fun stuff like Trapper Keepers, kickballs, Butterfree hair clips, 151-piece puzzles, and blind box water bottles inspired by Water-type Pokémon.

Target is also treating the launch like a bigger event in select stores. Target SoHo in New York City will host interactive experiences, giveaways, photo moments, and character-themed activations tied to the release.

The Pokémon x Target collection drops in two parts. Drop 1 arrives May 2, 2026 in stores and May 3rd online, while Drop 2 follows on June 6th.

Davion Mitchell Debuts The UA Curry Fox 3 Before De’Aaron Fox

Davion Mitchell gave the next Under Armour De’Aaron Fox signature shoe an unexpected on-court debut, wearing what appears to be the UA Curry Fox 3 during Miami’s Play-In Tournament loss. While many expected De’Aaron Fox himself to introduce the model first, Mitchell ended up providing the first real in-game look at the upcoming signature sneaker before its official rollout later this year.

The UA Curry Fox 3 keeps the sleek, speed-focused shape seen on Fox’s earlier signature models, but the design has clearly evolved. A striped upper runs from heel to toe, giving the shoe a sharper sense of movement, while the low-cut build stays true to the quick guard identity that defines Fox’s line. The pair shown on court used a bright gradient mix of light blue, pink, and black, giving it a color scheme that instantly stood out under the lights.

Underfoot, the model appears to keep Under Armour’s Flow setup, though the sole unit looks more segmented than before. Forefoot and heel pods give the sneaker a more traditional performance structure compared to earlier Fox models, suggesting a slight shift in how the shoe handles support and transition. One of the more notable early details is the Curry branding, though reports suggest the retail version will swap that out for standard Under Armour branding by the time it officially launches.

The timing of this debut only adds more intrigue around De’Aaron Fox’s next signature release. With Fox heading into the postseason with San Antonio, attention now shifts to when he will lace up the UA Curry Fox 3 himself.

For now, this first look gives fans an early preview of what Under Armour has lined up for one of its fastest-rising signature athletes.
