The Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro “Moonwalker” is set to return in September 2025. First released in 2014, this pair honors Michael Jackson’s cultural impact while celebrating Kobe Bryant’s creative drive.

A deep Hyper Grape Flyknit upper gives the sneaker its unmistakable look. The color nods to Jackson’s stage presence, while the translucent sole shows off a moonrock graphic—a subtle callback to the moonwalk.

Silver detailing on the Swoosh adds shine without going over the top. Black laces and a padded liner create balance, both visually and functionally.

Beneath it all, Nike’s Protro upgrade improves the ride with updated cushioning. The carbon fiber plate remains intact, giving players the support they remember.

Kobe’s ninth signature shoe was ahead of its time in both tech and style. This “Moonwalker” edition reminds fans why it stood out then—and why it still matters now.

More than just a sneaker, this release bridges performance and pop culture in a way few others have. It’s built to hoop but made to remember.

Ready to moonwalk into Fall 2025? The Air Jordan 1 Low MM V3 “Metallic Silver” is here to blind your haters.

Nike decided subtlety was overrated. This women’s-exclusive Method of Make model features enough chrome to make a toaster jealous. With glossy metallic overlays, diamond-mesh panels, and a 3D Swoosh that looks stolen from the future, this sneaker says one thing: look at me, now look again.

But wait, there’s more! The deconstructed upper brings edgy geometry, like your high school math teacher but way cooler. An exaggerated lacing system adds drama—because obviously your feet deserve theatrics too. Balancing it all out is a classic white midsole and translucent rubber outsole that scream retro roots with a sci-fi twist.

Let’s be real—this pair isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for the spotlight snatchers, the sidewalk stunners, and everyone who refuses to blend in. If minimalism is your vibe, turn back now.

adidas Crazy 2 “All-Star” Now Available (July 2025)

Jul 15, 2025

Adidas dives deep into basketball heritage with the revival of classic sneakers under the “Crazy” label. This collection pays homage to Kobe Bryant’s early footwear journey with adidas. The latest addition is the re-release of the adidas Crazy 2, once known as the adidas Kobe 2, in its nostalgic “All-Star” colorway.

Originally launched in the early 2000s, the Crazy 2 stood out for its low-top design inspired by the sleek Audi TT. Its bold, futuristic silhouette debuted in monochromatic colorways, including the famous USA Flag edition. This version gained fame when LeBron James wore it during a pivotal high school game.

Although innovative, the Crazy 2 didn’t fully align with Kobe Bryant’s preferences. His departure from adidas led to a “sneaker-free agency” period, which later birthed his legendary Nike signature line. This era marked a turning point in basketball sneaker culture.

The adidas Crazy 2 “All-Star” stays true to its original design while incorporating modern upgrades. It features a crisp white and yellow palette, a striking midsole, and minimalist detailing. These elements make it both performance-ready and visually captivating, appealing to players and collectors alike.

adidas Crazy 2 All-Star 2025 Release Date

Fans can purchase the adidas Crazy 2 “All-Star” on July 15, 2025. It will be available at select adidas Basketball retailers in-store, online, and on adidas.com. The retail price is set at $160 USD.

Adidas continues to celebrate its basketball legacy by reviving iconic styles like the Crazy 2. This release blends nostalgia with innovation, ensuring the brand remains a leader in sneaker culture. Whether you’re a player or a collector, the Crazy 2 “All-Star” offers a perfect mix of performance and style.

Nike keeps things fresh with the upcoming Dunk Low SE “Diffused Blue”, releasing in Fall 2025. This pair skips the usual gum sole and leans into a tonal, fully suede construction for a more modern, textured look.

What sets this version apart is its play on material contrast. A rougher, hairy suede shapes the overlays, offering depth and visual interest. Meanwhile, the underlays get a much smoother suede. Everything from the laces to the outsole carries the same Diffused Blue.

This Dunk embraces a moodier, more refined palette that sneakerheads will definitely appreciate. This isn’t your average GR. The suede craftsmanship gives the pair a premium edge that fits right into today’s tonal trend wave.

The Nike Dunk Low SE “Diffused Blue” will release in Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers, priced at $120 USD.

Fans of minimalist color blocking and texture-rich builds will find this edition especially appealing.

Nike is keeping things understated this Fall with the upcoming Dunk Low SE “Wolf Grey”. Built for fans of clean colorways, this version ditches bold palettes in favor of a soft, tonal look.

The upper is fully dressed in a Wolf Grey suede that creates the subtle contrast throughout the shoe. Instead of the typical flat laces, Nike switches things up with rope-style laces.

Another notable change is the sole. Rather than the usual gum rubber finish, Nike goes all-in on the greyscale theme with matching grey outsoles. Branding stays minimal too, with stitched Swooshes and a soft “NIKE” logo at the heel in the same tone.

The Nike Dunk Low SE “Wolf Grey” drops in Fall 2025 for $120 USD. Men’s sizes will be available through Nike.com and select sneaker retailers.

While we’ve seen plenty of Dunk Low variations over the years, this one keeps things fresh without going over the top. It’s clean, versatile, and built for everyday wear—exactly what many Dunk fans have been asking for.

Jul 15, 2025

Nike is stepping into new territory with the upcoming Nike Shox Z. Scheduled to drop Fall 2025, the sneaker blends throwback tech with a look inspired Kitten Heels.

The upper features a mesh that keeps things breathable. Wave-like ridges along the sides give the shoe texture. No sew overlays around the toe and laces add subtle structure.

What really turns heads is the heel. Nike’s familiar dual Shox columns return, but this time they’re paired with a lifted heel design that nods to classic women’s footwear.

You’ll also notice small functional touches. The padded tongue includes a pull tab for easy on-and-off. A molded heel counter keeps things steady, and the outsole grips well on a variety of surfaces.

Release Date & Where To Buy

Look for the Nike Shox Z to release Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers. The retail price is $140 USD.

While past Shox models were all about performance, this one leans into everyday wear. It feels like Nike is exploring what lifestyle sneakers can be; beyond trends, beyond nostalgia.

Kiko Kostadinov x ASICS US6-S GEL-Kinetic Fluent Pack Drops July 25th

By

Mason Tiniuc

Jul 15, 2025

Kiko Kostadinov is back with ASICS, bringing his signature edge to the GEL-Kinetic Fluent ahead of Summer 2025. Known for pushing form and function, the London-based designer strips down the original and rebuilds it with a fresh identity.

Gone is the typical mesh forefoot. In its place: smooth leather wrapping the lateral side, doubling as the eyestay. It gives the shoe a more structured look-clean, sculptural, and unmistakably Kiko.

The ASICS stripes fade into the background, replaced by a translucent TPU layer resting over lightweight mesh. It’s a subtle shift, but it modernizes the upper while keeping airflow in check.

Another small but smart detail? The tongue’s pull tab is off-center, nodding to Kostadinov’s ongoing interest in asymmetry and unconventional design choices.

ASICS plays it safe underfoot, keeping the GEL midsole intact. That means the ride stays just as comfortable—even with the upper’s new twist.
