Nike Air Max 90 “Infrared Flip” Now Available

An all-black midsole replaces the familiar red Air surround on the Nike Air Max 90 “Infrared Flip,” while bright red laces move more of the color up top. The nickname references the classic “Infrared” palette, but the shade used here is actually Bright Crimson.

That red also covers the entire heel badge, including the Nike Air lettering. Across the upper, black mesh sits beneath white leather side panels and mudguards, with black leather Swooshes running along the sides. The tongue matches the dark base, while Light Smoke Grey appears on the lower eyestays and mudguard windows.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Infrared Flip” is available now at Nike.com for $135 in men’s sizes.

The PUMA MB.06 Goes Mismatched For Holiday 2026

LaMelo has worn plenty of mismatched sneakers over the years, and this PUMA MB.06 goes with red on one foot and yellow on the other. Both shoes have a black pattern that looks like reptile skin, with laces, tongues, and lining in their respective colors.

Black overlays wrap around the toe and sides, extending back toward the heel. On the yellow shoe, red accents highlight the angular side logo and familiar “RARE,” “1 of 1,” and “BE YOU” lettering. The red shoe reverses that contrast with yellow details.

Silver winged logos sit over the laces and on the heels, while “MELO” branding covers the tongues. “Not From Here” runs across the black heel panels. Underneath, black outsoles feature a herringbone traction pattern and contrasting colored inserts.

Following the Puerto Rico edition and Stranger Things collaboration, this red-and-yellow PUMA MB.06 adds another mismatched option to the lineup.

The PUMA MB.06 Mismatch “Yellow/Red” releases Holiday 2026 via PUMA.com and select retailers for $130

New Balance Kawhi 5 “Oxford Blue” Sits On Icy Soles

Kawhi Leonard’s fifth New Balance signature shoe gets a sky blue mesh upper for its upcoming “Oxford Blue” release. The Kawhi 5 stays within that palette from top to bottom, though a darker TPU support structure gives the upper some separation between its layers.

That darker blue wraps around the toe before running up to the eyestays and across the side panels. Mesh remains visible between those sections, with a reflective N logo placed on the lateral side. The branding adds a different finish to an upper otherwise defined by its two shades of blue.

FuelCell cushioning sits underfoot, paired with an icy blue translucent outsole that carries the colorway through the bottom of the shoe.

The New Balance Kawhi 5 “Oxford Blue” releases November 13, 2026, for $160 in unisex sizing. It will be available through New Balance and select retailers, both online and in-store.

Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Race to Evolve” Dropping Early at DICK’S Sporting Goods

A late September workout gave us a first look at the navy and tan “Race to Evolve” colorway Chris Brickley wore on court. It’s his third PUMA All-Pro player exclusive, a run that began in 2023 with a black-and-white All-Pro NITRO. Brickley switched to the All-Pro NITRO 2 for last year’s wheat pair.

The checkerboard upper has two patterns of its own. Some squares have fine diagonal stripes, while others are dotted. Blue-gray suede frames the patterned panels and matches the heel support. A checkered flag appears on the right tongue, and another touch of tan shows up in the speckling along the midsole.

DICK’S Sporting Goods gets the Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Race to Evolve” first on November 7, 2026. PUMA and select retailers will carry the pair online and in stores beginning November 13, 2026.

Nike LeBron 24 “Christmas” First Look

The Nike LeBron 24 “Christmas” has surfaced in green, while the Sabrina 4 and Book 2 from the same holiday collection are both dressed in red. All three have a zippered cover over the upper, something Nike hasn’t used on the regular versions of these shoes.

On the LeBron 24, the green synthetic material is translucent, with a zipper running straight down the tongue. It covers nearly the whole shoe, but the usual KingKnit upper is still underneath. The actual LeBron 24 construction hasn’t changed.

There’s still no explanation from Nike about the zippered design. It’s being used across the Christmas basketball lineup, though it’s unclear what the covering has to do with the holiday.

The LeBron 24 is the only green pair of the three shown so far. Both the Sabrina 4 and Book 2 use mostly red uppers, with the same general zippered design covering their usual construction.

Nike LeBron 24 Christmas Release Date

The Nike LeBron 24 “Christmas” is currently expected to release on December 4th, 2026, with a retail price of $200.

Nike Basketball Introduces The G.T. Flight, G.T. Force & G.T. Uptempo

Nike Basketball is bringing back the Force, Flight, and Uptempo names, this time as part of its Greater Than (G.T.) series. Three new basketball shoes are scheduled to release on February 11, 2027, with each model built for a different type of player. The lineup covers jumping, physical play, and speed.

Force, Flight, and Uptempo were originally introduced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Nike separated its basketball shoes by playing style. The Greater Than series followed a similar idea years later, focusing on specific on-court needs. Now the two are coming together with the G.T. Flight, G.T. Force, and G.T. Uptempo.

Nike G.T. Flight

The Nike G.T. Flight is built for players who do most of their work in the air, from attacking the rim to grabbing rebounds and blocking shots. It uses a full-length Zoom Strobel unit with Cushlon 3.0 foam underneath for cushioning. The upper has a textile bootie surrounded by a TPU cage for support, along with a rubber outsole for court traction.

Nike G.T. Force

The Nike G.T. Force takes a different approach, focusing on players who use their strength and need stability when making hard cuts or changing direction. Both high-top and low-top versions will be available, equipped with ZoomX 3.0 foam, a reinforced synthetic upper, and a TPU window and shank. Its bulkier build also brings back some of the design characteristics seen on older Nike Force basketball shoes.

Nike G.T. Uptempo

Speed is the main focus of the Nike G.T. Uptempo, which has a lower-to-the-ground setup for quick movements and changes of direction. Cushioning comes from ZoomX 3.0 foam, an Air Zoom Strobel unit, and additional Air Zoom in the heel. The shoe also uses an engineered mesh upper to keep weight down, while a TPU window and shank add structure.

The Nike G.T. Flight, G.T. Force, and G.T. Uptempo will release on February 11, 2027 ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend in North America, with a global launch to follow.

Air Jordan 3 “Paris” Releases June 2027

The Air Jordan 3 “Paris” will be available only in Paris when it releases in June 2027. The shoe replaces the usual elephant print with a damask pattern, while the heels feature custom Nike branding.

The shoe comes in White, Blue, Navy, and Sail, with white tumbled leather covering most of the upper. Along the mudguard, “Jordan Paris Family 91, 92, 93, 94” references Michael Jordan’s first three NBA championships and his fourth title in 1996.

The damask pattern covers the usual elephant print areas around the toe and heel, with the same design appearing on the tongue next to the Jumpman logo. Around back, “NIKE PRS” replaces the standard Nike Air branding. A Sail midsole sits above a Navy rubber outsole.

Air Jordan 3 Paris Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Paris” will release in June 2027 through select Jordan Brand retailers in Paris. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $230.

Travis Scott Reveals Limited-Edition Nike Air Force 1 Low “GTA 6”

Travis Scott has revealed another Nike Air Force 1, this time featuring Grand Theft Auto 6 branding tied to Rockstar Games. The Houston rapper shared the shoes himself, along with plans to give a small number of pairs to people who have supported the game series over the years. Rather than putting this particular colorway up for sale, he’s looking to get pairs directly to longtime fans and people close to him.

Black patent leather makes up much of the upper, with camo ripstop nylon on the side panels and bright pink overlays adding contrast. Scott’s usual reverse Swoosh appears in oversized white leather, while the midsole replaces the standard “AIR” branding with “GTA” lettering.

Six pink stars appear along the inner midsole, referencing the highest Wanted level in Grand Theft Auto. The same stars are printed underneath the shoe on the outsole, giving the design another connection to the game.

Scott explained in his announcement that only a few pairs were made, mainly for longtime GTA fan pages, dedicated players, and friends. He also asked interested fans to message him their locations, suggesting he plans to personally send out some of the shoes instead of going through a regular release.

While a wider retail release has not been confirmed for this particular pair, as this pair looks to be a Friends and Family exclusive, the other Travis Scott x Nike Air Force 1 “GTA 6” colorways are expected to release November 19, 2026 for $130 each.

Bam Adebayo’s Air Jordan 40 “Scooby-Doo” PE Gets A Closer Look

Shaggy material covers Bam Adebayo’s latest Air Jordan 40 PE, with a teal collar adding to its Scooby-Doo theme. The pair recently surfaced in new in-hand images, showing a different look from the usual finishes on Jordan Brand’s flagship basketball shoe.

The Air Jordan 40 “Scooby-Doo” PE references the cartoon dog through its furry upper and collar color. Those two details carry the design, with the teal trim standing in for Scooby’s familiar accessory.

How the theme connects to Adebayo remains unclear, since he hasn’t publicly shared the story behind this pair. For now, the photos give us a closer look at another player exclusive made for the Miami center.

A size 16.5 pair was listed through Spencer Soles. A public release date has yet to be announced.

Story mfg. x ASICS GEL-TRANSCEND FJ Releases November 2026

Story mfg. has filled in a few details about the plaid ASICS we saw during Paris Fashion Week. The model is the GEL-TRANSCEND FJ, and both the black and brown plaid pairs are due in November as part of the brand’s “Trees Are Poems” collection.

Plaid covers the uppers of both pairs, while branding appears at the toe boxes. Each colorway also comes with beads that can be added to the laces, giving wearers a way to change up the look.

Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi founded Story mfg. in 2013, building the label around slow fashion, vegan production, and traditional craft. The checked patterns and lace accessories fit with the clothing brand’s existing approach to design.

The Story mfg. x ASICS GEL-TRANSCEND FJ “Trees Are Poems” collection launches first at the label’s London studio during its free Rambling Club event this weekend. Blue in Green Soho follows on November 10, 2026, with an online release at storymfg.com on November 11. Both colorways will reach select stockists and ASICS.com on November 20.

Ja Morant Reveals Nike Ja 4 College Player Exclusives

LSU, Duke, Oregon, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Murray State each have a Nike Ja 4 PE, and Ja Morant gave a look at all six through his Instagram Stories. He posted the shoes in their boxes, showing how each program’s colors carry over to his fourth signature model.

The color placement stays consistent across the group, but a few schools get different finishes. Metallic Swooshes and JA plates appear on the LSU, Duke, and Oregon pairs. Kentucky, Arkansas, and Murray State use solid colors for those details instead.

The Murray State edition gives Morant’s alma mater another spot in his Nike lineup. Earlier Ja models have brought Racers-inspired colorways to retail, though that doesn’t mean this particular pair will follow them.

These Nike Ja 4 college PEs are made for the school programs and aren’t headed to stores. For anyone hoping for a separate Murray State retail colorway, a release date has yet to be announced.

adidas Badbo 1.1 “Blanch Blue” First Look

Pale blue suede covers the latest Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.1, with official images now showing the “Blanch Blue” colorway ahead of its expected Holiday 2026 release. It joins the “Chalk White” and “Simple Brown” versions already revealed for the low-top model.

The Badbo 1.1 carries over much of the Badbo 1.0’s shape, lowering the collar and adjusting the panels around it. On this pair, suede overlays sit over lighter blue mesh visible through triangular openings on either side. The colors are close to those used on the earlier “Puerto Rican Night” Badbo 1.0.

White on the tongue and midsole gives the blue upper a clean break, while light grey trims the tongue and lines the interior. Gum rubber runs underneath, rounding out a fairly simple mix of colors and materials.

The Bad Bunny x adidas Badbo 1.1 “Blanch Blue” is expected to arrive in Holiday 2026, likely December, for $120 through adidas CONFIRMED and select retailers.

Jalen Brunson Debuts Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Graffiti” PE

Jalen Brunson wore another exclusive Nike Kobe 6 Protro during the Knicks’ win over the Chicago Bulls, where he scored 26 points in the first half. New York had been off to a rough start this season, but Brunson helped get things back on track. His latest Kobe 6 also caught some attention, especially the unusual Swoosh design on the sides.

The shoe shares some colors with Brunson’s previous “Super Saiyan God” Kobe 3 and “Statue of Liberty” Kobe 6. What separates this pair is the Swoosh, which features a graffiti-style outline with a cartoon-like appearance. The rest of the design is fairly simple, with little else competing with the oversized side branding.

For now, this Nike Kobe 6 Protro remains exclusive to Brunson. Other PEs, including the Kobe 3 “Arancia,” Kobe 6 “Statue of Liberty,” and Kobe 5 “What the Rick,” have been mentioned as possible retail releases. There’s no word yet on whether this latest Kobe 6 will get a retail launch.

Jalen Brunson provided a better look at his latest Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Graffiti” PE below.

Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Draft Night” Revisits Her WNBA Arrival

Angel Reese’s charcoal grey gown from the WNBA Draft gets a nod on the Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Draft Night.” Already well known from her time at LSU, Reese arrived in a sparkling hooded dress that now supplies the palette for this edition of her first signature basketball shoe.

Reebok carries the dress’s charcoal grey tones across the synthetic side cage and midsole, with matching rubber sections along the outsole. White fills the spaces between, breaking up the darker panels throughout the design. The contrast gives the cage’s curved lines more definition without adding another color to the mix.

The connection here comes through the palette rather than a recreation of the gown’s sparkling finish. Grey and white keep the focus on the Angel Reese 1’s construction, while the “Draft Night” name ties the release to the evening her professional career began. That fashion connection also fits into a broader part of Reese’s career, which has since included a Vogue cover and a Victoria’s Secret runway appearance.

The Reebok Angel Reese 1 “Draft Night” releases November 12, 2026, for $130. Look for the pair through Reebok.com and participating retailers.

Bad Bunny’s adidas Badbo 1.0 “Grey Three” Releases November 12th

Bad Bunny’s next adidas pack brings together the Badbo 1.0 and low-top Badbo 1.1 this November. The 1.0 gets a “Grey Three” colorway, pairing grey suede overlays with leather underneath and a white midsole.

Grey Three suede covers the overlays, while Orbit Grey leather forms the base. The colors are close, leaving the contrast between the materials to define much of the upper. Cloud White on the midsole gives the shoe a brighter finish underfoot.

Blue lace tips marked with “BB” stand out against the grey laces and upper. The tongue retains its zigzag stitching, another familiar feature of the Badbo 1.0. There’s no major change to the design here; the focus stays on the new material and color combination.

The subdued palette also falls in line with earlier Bad Bunny adidas footwear and his debut apparel collection, which leaned toward neutral shades.

The adidas Badbo 1.0 “Grey Three” arrives November 12, 2026, at adidas.com and select retailers. The retail price is $160.

adidas Badbo 1.1 “Simple Brown” Releases November 12th

The Bad Bunny x adidas BadBo 1.1 “Simple Brown” returns to the earthy colors that ran through many of his Forum and Campus collaborations. Due in November, the low-top mixes brown suede with pale pink rather than the brighter shades seen on some of his recent adidas releases.

Textured suede overlays cover the pink synthetic base, which shows through between the brown panels. White along the midsole breaks up the upper and gum outsole. That sole combination has become a recurring detail across the BadBo family, and it fits naturally with the brown suede here.

The BadBo 1.1 lowers the cut of the original BadBo 1.0, which debuted earlier this year after Bad Bunny wore it during the Super Bowl halftime show. Together, the two models introduced his signature line following years of collaborations on existing adidas sneakers.

Color has played a bigger role elsewhere in that partnership. The Gazelle Indoor “El Yunque,” “San Juan,” and “Cabo Rojo” all explored brighter palettes, while the BadBo releases have generally stayed closer to neutrals. The pink underlays give “Simple Brown” a little variation within that approach.

The Bad Bunny x adidas BadBo 1.1 “Simple Brown” releases November 12, 2026, for $120, sharing its release date with the BadBo 1.0 “Grey Three.” Both will be available on adidas.com.
