The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Silt Red” is an official release for Nike’s Fall 2025. The silhouette returned to the lineup a few years ago and has cemented its place in the lifestyle arsenal of runners that gravitate towards retro-tech and comfort. This clean take amps up the feminine touch with Silt Red, Red Stardust and Vast Grey.

Mesh upper with suede overlays and a molded midfoot cage dress the foot before the Vomero’s 3D heel counter. White Swoosh bordered by Red Stardust will no doubt get sneakerheads swooning. Reflective 3M accents also pop under flash, another little nod fans of past Vomero releases have come to expect.

The cushioning is a blend of Cushlon foam with Zoom Air units. A waffle outsole ties up laces for traction. Compared to some of the more muted tones of the Vomero 5’s past colorways this colorway is a bit more lifestyle-focused, which helps to make it a prime candidate for pastel rotations.

Sep 12, 2025

The adidas Samba Winter for Fall 2025 takes the classic shoe on a winter-ready journey.

Slim and terrace-ready, the silhouette gets an outdoors rebrand, complete with an aggressively textured sole for winter traction. Instantly differentiates this from the parade of retro reissues of the last several years.

Hairy suede textures the upper, while synthetic overlays protect the toe and heel. Rope laces and metal eyelets further speak to the hiking inspiration. Reflective detailing on the stripes and heel tab close things out with some functional flair. A welcome departure for a silhouette now building out its own streetwear durability.

Two colorways headline the drop, black and an earthy brown. Each iteration remains true to the Samba formula while extending the silhouette in a utility direction. A smart pivot, as sneaker brands lean into weather-proof silhouettes.

Available through adidas.com and selected retailers, the adidas Samba Winter drops Fall 2025.

Sep 11, 2025

The Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4 OT “Black” is back in Summer 2026. The silhouette was one of Kobe Bryant’s most beloved pre-signature sneaker. It was originally released in 2004 and was designed by Eric Avar, who drew inspiration from the Air Flight Huarache and Air Force 1. The 2K4 silhouette is the foundation for many current basketball shoes.

Kobe most notably wore the “Black” pair from early in the 2004–05 season, including his iconic dunk over rookie Dwight Howard on November 12, 2004. He also wore the 2K4 in various colorways, including the “All-Star” edition that illuminated the 2004 NBA All-Star Game, which also returns in 2026. That ties the model to both a defining in-game moment and a star-studded showcase, cements its legendary status.

Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers dunks over Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic during a 2004 NBA game. — On November 12, 2004, Kobe Bryant delivered a thunderous dunk over rookie Dwight Howard during a Lakers vs. Magic regular season matchup.

True to the original, this retro keeps it simple, with muted hues and luxe materials and textures in place of loud colour. The upper is crafted in premium leather and suede overlays, with neoprene bootie construction for lockdown comfort. A TPU heel counter provides stability and a Phylon midsole, cushioned with Zoom Air units in the forefoot and heel, guarantee performance that made the sneaker a basketball classic.

That’s what makes this Huarache 2K4 OT “Black” such an important piece of Nike Kobe history and sneaker collecting in general. It is a hybrid of the shoes of the past with the play of the future.

Nike Huarache 2K4 Black 2026 Release Date

The Jordan Trunner O/S is officially debuting and Jordan Brand has provided a fitting launch pad for the retro runner. One particular drop, an all-new “Purple Smoke” colorway, injects something of a lifestyle flavor into today’s typical exercise and running-focused drops.

As sneaker trends further shift from ‘80s basketball silhouettes to ‘90s-inspired suede and mesh runners, the Trunner O/S could not be more timely.

The silhouette’s upper is a tough mesh and suede patchwork decked out in muted purples, highlighted by electric blue laces and stringing. A molded midfoot strap keeps things secure, a common Trunner feature. A sturdy chunky foam midsole in soft pink hues provides further support and nostalgia. Jumpman branding, along with pops of yellow in the heel, help to finish the style.

Basketball heritage meets the field with the Air Jordan 1 MCS Baseball “Black/White” for Fall 2025.

Crafted from black leather, the uppers take inspiration from the iconic Jordan 1 silhouette. White accents from the Swoosh and Wings logo are subtle nods to MJ’s signature crossover move from hoops to baseball.

In the midsole, a metal spike MCS plate ensures stability for quick pivots, while Max Air technology provides a cushioned ride. Nike didn’t just pay homage to the Jordan 1 with a similar design. They infused a baseball cleat with MJ’s legacy.

Shoes take elements of the Jordan brand DNA across all style cues, from perforations in the toe box to padded ankle support. Compared to previous retro-inspired baseball cleats, they stay a bit more traditional, while offering performance features for players that want classic design and playability.

The Air Jordan 1 MCS “Black/White” Baseball Cleats are set to release Fall 2025 for $150 at Nike.com.

Kobe Bryant’s adidas Crazy 2 “USA” Releasing in 2026

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Sep 11, 2025

The adidas Kobe 2 “USA” will return in 2026, more than two decades after it was initially released. Kobe Bryant first donned the all-American retro on October 30, 2001, as the Los Angeles Lakers opened the 2001-02 season. The Kobe 2, swathed from head to toe in red, white, and blue, was a bold yet patriotic design that Bryant used to pay tribute to those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks earlier that month.

The Kobe 2 has always been a polarizing sneaker among basketball fans. A futuristic, boxy design that defied convention for the style of basketball shoes at the time, the Kobe 2 was one of the most out-there silhouettes the NBA has ever seen. In addition, the Kobe 2 would be the final Kobe Bryant signature for adidas — with the player paying millions of dollars to leave his contract with the three stripes behind in order to sign with Nike, one of the biggest moves in sneaker history that helped lead to one of the most iconic signature lines in history.

In recent years, adidas has been able to make a successful revival of the original silhouette under the Crazy 2 name, which has had all the OG colorways selling out quickly. While the retro has been officially removed from Kobe Bryant branding, it has continued to do big business with both basketball fans and collectors that grew up in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

This is more than just a simple sneaker reissue; this release is a chance for fans to reflect on Kobe Bryant, basketball, and cultural history.

adidas Crazy 2 USA 2026 Release Date

The adidas Crazy 2 “USA” will release in June 2026 at select adidas Basketball retailers and adidas.com.

Oregon Ducks Ready To Hit The Field in Bold Nike Kobe 6 Cleats

Sep 11, 2025

The University of Oregon upholds its Nike heritage with the introduction of the Oregon Ducks x Nike Kobe 6 Cleat PE for Game 3 of the season.

The Kobe 6 basketball shoe influences the color and style of this cleat. The clean white base contrasts Oregon’s signature green and yellow. A bright green Swoosh lined in yellow ties it all together.

The subtle Ducks nods throughout the design are all the hint sneakerheads need to know that this one is very player only. That’s the kind of detail to look for.

Rolled out with the release of Oregon’s latest uniform, the Kobe 6 Cleat PE quickly became the biggest story. It’s just another example of Oregon football and Nike’s love for pushing the envelope on cleat design with a little bit of dope sneaker culture. Few teams around the world can do both while still paying homage to a legend like Kobe Bryant.

Unfortunately for sneakerheads, the Nike Kobe 6 Cleat PE for Oregon won’t see a public release. It is a true on-field exclusive for the Ducks.

Ja Morant Helped Design This Nike Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY”

By

Sep 11, 2025

Ja Morant is moving in a new direction with a new streetwear collab as the NBA season approaches. The Memphis Grizzlies guard will be teaming up with Nike Basketball for the Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY”, which pays tribute to New York City’s famous summer basketball tournament.

The “NY vs NY” league is a well-known basketball tournament in the city, bringing together the best high school players in the city to play in some of the most famous playgrounds in the world such as Rucker Park and Dyckman. Nike has in the past created a connection between the tournament and exclusive sneaker drops, but this release is even more special given Morant’s growing celebrity.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low features a polished build that’s as simple as it is detailed. Starting with a black premium nubuck upper as a base, the shoe is finished with tumbled leather Swooshes for some texture. White rope laces provide bold contrast and powder blue accents on the lace dubrae and insole give the shoe a pop without being too much. On the heel, there’s an embroidered “NY vs NY” that reiterates the city culture. A gum sole is used on the bottom to provide a classic, durable finish. The gum element is what makes this pair stand out from the rest.

Instead of being a signature shoe for the Ja line, this Air Force 1 stays true to the tournament’s legacy and features no personal branding. Despite that, it still feels like a seamless intersection between the rising basketball superstar and the city’s streetball culture. The sneaker is a minimal, everyday-ready Air Force 1 that forges a link between basketball performance shoes and lifestyle classics.

The Ja Morant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY” is set to release Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $125 USD.

Sep 11, 2025

Jordan Brand keeps summer vibes fresh with the Air Jordan 1 Low “Watermelon”, a vivid combination of green and pink hues. This playful take embraces the season’s energy while paying homage to colorways popular with past summer releases.

The shoe is constructed with a leather upper divided between two different green tones — “Fir” and “Malachite” to reference the watermelon rind. The contrasting tones are playfully accented by pops of “Pink Blast” on the Swoosh, Jumpman tongue logo, and heel Wings branding. This new colorway was given the nickname of “Watermelon” for these pink and green details. An off-white midsole complements the rest of the palette, set on top of a dark green rubber outsole.

The Air Jordan 1 Low is a classic silhouette favored by sneakerheads that love the brand’s traditional Jordan Brand DNA in a low-top profile. The “Watermelon” colorway is a new addition that is ideal for multiple styles and stands out for the upcoming seasonal Jordan Brand releases. It also has the right amount of summery vibes from that pop of pink contrasting against the more subdued greens.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Watermelon” will release soon through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers for $115 USD. Are you picking up this new fruity release for your rotation?

BAPE STA Returns In A Patent Leather Trio

By

Sep 11, 2025

There aren’t many sneakers with a history as storied as the BAPE STA, and this September it’s back with a triple “Patent Leather” offering.

Originating in the early 2000s, the STA quickly became a cultural staple. Worn by Pharrell, Kanye and untold sneakerheads, it was a key factor in elevating the silhouette to global relevancy. Unlike many sneakers that drew inspiration from basketball culture, the BAPE STA created its own lane, and in the process, ensured every drop would feel special.

This offering is available in three colorways: the original Turquoise Blue, a fan favorite Black and a crisp White. All three pairs keep true to the brand’s signature DNA with a bold side star and debossed APE HEAD heel logo. Luxurious details like silver eyelets and APE HEAD lace dubraes provide additional refinement. That subtle hardware is exactly the type of attention to detail sneakerheads will notice.
