This New Balance 1000 Comes Pre-Worn

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

New Balance is giving the 1000 model a rougher edge with the upcoming “Dirty” colorway. From a distance, it looks like a typical mix of grey, silver, and white—but that’s just the foundation.

The uppers are brushed and beat-up on purpose, almost like they’ve been through a few city blocks already. Mesh panels come slightly scuffed. The midsoles carry faint stains that look natural, not theatrical.

Even the leather has a dull, oxidized finish. It’s more “worn chrome” than “shiny silver,” and honestly, it works.

Branding is subtle. You’ve got the classic “N” on the side and a small “1000” stitched in black. Nothing wild there. The personality really comes from the textures and the decision to skip that spotless look most new releases chase.

Is it risky? Maybe. Not everyone wants pre-aged sneakers. But this pair leans into the idea that wear adds character. It’s like getting a head start on a future beat-up grail.

Comfort isn’t lost in the aesthetic either. If you’ve worn New Balance before, you know their cushioning holds up. That hasn’t changed here.

The New Balance 1000 “Dirty” drops Fall 2025 for $150. It’ll hit NewBalance.com and select shops.

If you’re tired of keeping shoes clean, this one might actually reward you for not trying.

The Nike Diamond Turf 93 TD Cleats “Emerald” will release alongside the original Air Diamond Turf “Emerald” in Fall 2025.

Additionally, the cleat is equipped with mesh ventilation windows and a Zoom-loaded plate for the foot to keep things high-performing.

Nike Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat Arrives With Hidden “Color Reveal” Twist

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike Football’s next premium release, the Nike Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat, is set to combine tradition and high performance on the football field this Fall 2025.

The Nike Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat is inspired by the legendary Dunk silhouette, making the Dunk’s unmistakable high-top shape and design elements new on the football field. Crafted from black leather and mesh upper, the high-cut design hugs the ankle for added support while perforations on the toe panel allow for breathability. For stability and quickness, the cleat features a full-length molded plate that is built under the sole to help maximize traction and explosiveness. The standout feature of this model, however, is the “Color Reveal” scratch-off upper. Made to be scratched and worn away over time, each cleat will develop its own color story revealing a different shade with wear, making each pair unique to its wearer.

The design is finished off with a hang tag that reads “Color Reveal”, adding to the mystery of the design. Metallic gold Swooshes and branding are integrated throughout the sleek black design, with white accents on the cleated outsole, for a contemporary finish. The Dunk Cleat will be a true showstopper with a little history, a lot of flash, and a surprise that will continue to be revealed with every game and wear.

Nike has previously raised the bar for football cleat performance and style with the Alpha Menace and Vapor Edge series. The Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat builds on the traditional silhouette of the Dunk sneaker, one of Nike’s most famous basketball shoes, with key features designed to offer advanced playability on the field.

The Nike Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat “Color Reveal” will release in Fall 2025 available at select retailers and Nike.com.

While the look is whimsical, the construction remains premium. Durable materials and the usual Air Jordan 4 details—like mesh panels, visible Air units, and plastic wings—keep performance intact.

WORKSOUT x Nike Air Max 95 “Thunder Blue” Releases Fall 2025

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike has teamed up with Seoul-based streetwear stalwart Worksout to breathe new life into a familiar silhouette. The Nike Air Max 95 will receive its third new-toned colorway in “Thunder Blue”. The resulting design meshes classic ’90s running genealogy with a distinctly Korean street sensibility. The Worksout Air Max 95 is equal parts vintage homage and current sneaker culture zeitgeist.

The upper of the shoe is a layered combination of navy and indigo mesh, suede and leather, with a woven texture. This results in a tonal depth not unlike indigo dyeing techniques. The signature undulating overlays characteristic of the Air Max 95 are all dipped in a gradient of Thunder Blue, subtly graduating from a dark navy to a slate. Reflective detailing adds for a nice contrast, while custom Worksout branding can be found on the insoles.

Underfoot, the exposed Air Max units in the heel and forefoot remain unchanged. This gives the shoe its signature cushioning and bounce. The tonal execution is completed with a beige midsole and blue rubber outsole. This makes for a clean sneaker that will age well even with miles on it.

WORKSOUT Air Max 95 Thunder Blue Release Date

The WORKSOUT x Nike Air Max 95 “Thunder Blue” will release in Fall 2025 via WORKSOUT platform and Nike.com for $190 USD retail.

The model’s signature outsole detailing, depicting Michael Jordan’s early career accolades, will be included. These nostalgic nods bring authenticity to the shoe’s storied past.

Sabrina Ionescu Debuts Nike Sabrina 3 “All-Star” PE

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike Basketball WNBA players will be on full display at All-Star Weekend 2025 in Indianapolis and the brand is bringing out some of its marquee athletes to debut unique sneakers. Four-time All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Sabrina Ionescu lit up All-Star Weekend early on by revealing a new Nike Sabrina 3 All-Star PE.

The Player Exclusive colorway packs a powerful punch with large flames plastered all over the heel in reference to Indianapolis and its racing history. Jet black takes over the upper while a neon yellow Swoosh and corresponding flame hits running along the sides electrify the design. A fade from yellow to orange on the side panels, along with the “ASW25” logo etched into the heel, round out this personal take from Sabrina.

This special take on Sabrina’s third Nike signature shoe elevates her already growing signature line. As her latest Nike silhouette continues to pick up traction in retail, the collection of exclusive sneakers will be a testament to Nike’s commitment to scaling its women-led basketball offerings in the long term.

Nike’s retail version of the Sabrina 3 “All-Star” model is currently available to the public, but we expect the All-Star PE worn by the New York Liberty guard to be reserved for Sabrina herself. If that’s the case, then it will be one of the weekend’s most sought-after releases.

The Nike Sabrina 3 All-Star PE will not be available for purchase, but fans can expect to see more loud colorways like this during the 2025 WNBA season.

Nike Dunk Low SE “Deep Royal Blue” Releases Fall 2025

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is dipping a toe back into the skateboarding versus lifestyle pool with the Nike Dunk Low SE “Deep Royal Blue”. As it’s part of the Sportswear catalog, the pair can be placed under the lifestyle category; however, the color palette and material mix of this Dunk give it serious SB (skateboard) cred. The silhouette is something that you could easily skate in as well.

The upper is a mix of Deep Royal Blue suede overlays on top of a Wolf Grey leather canvas base, giving the shoe an almost “layered” or vintage feel. The white Swoosh and heel tab contrast nicely with the deep blues and blacks, while the large blue laces give the top part of the shoe an intense look. Underfoot, the white “Sail” midsole and gum rubber outsole offer a fresh nod to the retro skate silhouettes that were worn in decades past.

Although the Nike Dunk Low SE “Deep Royal Blue” is not an official SB Dunk, the vibe of this shoe is straight out of the SB Dunk world. This Special Edition (SE) tag promises better materials and higher construction quality. You won’t see Zoom Air or padded tongues on this Dunks (honestly, you don’t really need it), but the shoes definitely carry enough street style aesthetic.

The shape itself will call back to older skateshop collaborations or even the GR Dunks of the early 2000s to some, but the overall feel is new and fresh enough for 2025. The muted colorways and gum bottom make this a super easy shoe to drop in your daily rotation.

The Nike Dunk Low SE “Deep Royal Blue” will be released in Fall 2025 for men’s sizing, through a select retailer and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $115 USD.

Revealed first with a few early sample images, the Dashawn Jordan x Nike SB Dunk Low tells a technical narrative through premium materials — all built around Jordan’s hometown of Arizona.

The incoming SB Dunk Low features a faux snakeskin overlay and desert rattlesnake-inspired black suede underlays, while Bright Spruce, Fierce Purple, and Dark Russet accents create a burst of contrast on the neutral base. A deep purple lining and teal heel tabs add layers to the silhouette while a custom insole graphic and lace jewel push the finer details. Nike SB branding is stitched onto the tongues in turquoise with Dashawn’s name stitched just below. A black midsole and outsole round out the design, balancing the detailed upper with a stealthy finish that should make it easy to wear on and off the board.

Dashawn’s SB connection runs deep into the Southwest. Nike has not yet revealed the full narrative for the sneaker, but the textured material and desert-inspired palette imply the rocky, rugged landscape and hot temperatures of Jordan’s Arizona home.

Paige Bueckers Debuts The Nike GT Cut 4

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike Basketball previewed its next generation sneaker on Saturday as WNBA All-Star Paige Bueckers wore a prototype at WNBA All-Star weekend in Indianapolis. The shoe, a Nike GT Cut 4, has been a highly anticipated drop since the original GT basketball shoes dropped in the early 2010s. Bueckers stood out in the prototype’s vivid blue-purple upper as she played on the court on Saturday night. The shoe is the latest release in the brand’s Greater Than line of basketball shoes.

The GT Cut 4 design is notably aggressive and futurist in its approach. The left shoe Paige wore last night features jagged ridges and overlays wrapping around the upper, as well as an iridescent blue-purple upper. The shoe is a continuation of the DNA of previous GT Cut sneakers, but to a more extreme degree. The sharp design of the upper is accented by a foam midsole and low to the ground design. The shoe, based on the preview alone, seems to cater to explosive crossovers and quick play.

Nike has yet to release the shoe’s performance specifications. The one known is that it’s officially being called the Nike GT Cut 4. Previous iterations of the GT Cut series sneakers were highly praised for their cushioning and feel on the court. The GT line has seemingly accelerated with this debut in terms of innovation and design. Basketball greats, including Damian Lillard, have spoken highly about previous iterations of the GT series sneakers in the past.

Nike’s social media teased the sneaker by sharing an image of the shoe’s heel with the caption “Buckets incoming.” This essentially confirms the official reveal of the sneaker is imminent.

As of this writing, an official release is likely to be in late 2025 or early 2026.

adidas Crazy 2.0 “Zero Metallic” Now Available (July 2025)

By
Mario Briguglio
-

adidas keeps the memory of Kobe Bryant alive with the release of the adidas Crazy 2.0 “Zero Metallic”. The standout silhouette is a 2000s-era throwback, originally released as the KB8 III as part of Kobe’s retro-futuristic playstyle. Now, the sneaker is back in an updated form with some new twists.

The “Zero Metallic” colorway features a tonal bone-white upper with textural highlights and angular paneling. Subtle pops of Core Black and Onix Grey on the collar lining and outsole provide contrast, but retain the lowkey base. All in all, it’s unapologetically aggressive—a design that borders on the sculptural with sci-fi vibes and robotic references that nod to the current state of sneakers.

Performance upgrades don’t take a backseat to form either. The Crazy 2.0 holds true to the OG design while incorporating Lightstrike cushioning to Kobe’s chunky silhouette. The feature packs in adidas’ lightweight responsiveness and plush feel. Meanwhile, the outsole features signature herringbone traction and midfoot Three Stripes bars, as expected from the reissue of the KB line.

The adidas Crazy 2.0 “Zero Metallic” is available now at adidas.com and select retailers for $160 USD in men’s sizes.
