Pharrell Debuts New adidas Jellyfish “Tan” Colorway

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Pharrell debuting a brand new adidas Jellyfish “Tan” colorway quietly stole the spotlight during a major awards-night appearance. Just as the rollout felt calmer, Pharrell stepped out in a fresh neutral take that instantly reset the conversation.

Since launch, the adidas Jellyfish has stayed in constant rotation. Early pairs fueled resale spikes and crowd moments rarely seen outside true hype eras. That momentum followed Pharrell to the Footwear News Achievement Awards, where he previewed this new look without any official announcement.

The updated version leans into tan and beige tones across the layered upper. Soft sky blue accents cut through the neutrals, while a black outsole grounds the design. Oversized Three Stripes remain intact, keeping the Jellyfish identity loud but more refined.

This debut matters because known colorways were thinning out. An all-black pair released in New York, while a red-and-black version appeared back in October. Together, these newer sightings suggest a shift away from performance-heavy palettes toward lifestyle-ready executions.

There’s still no confirmed release date tied to the “Tan” adidas Jellyfish. However, Pharrell’s public wear history often signals what’s next. If past patterns hold, this colorway could surface sooner than expected.

Edison Chen’s CLOT adidas Qi Flow Debuts in 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The CLOT x adidas Qi Flow continues Edison Chen’s refusal to play it safe with familiar silhouettes. From the start, this partnership promised ideas over easy flips. Early retailer images now confirm that direction ahead of a projected 2026 rollout.

The foundation sets the tone. A slim espadrille-style sole mirrors CLOT’s recent adidas experiments on the Stan Smith and Gazelle. That low-profile build fits the ongoing shift toward sleeker footwear with lifestyle-first appeal.

Up top, the Qi Flow feels closer to a wrap or slipper than a traditional trainer. The black fabric upper appears deconstructed, creating a relaxed shape that prioritizes movement and comfort. There’s also a subtle football reference. The forefoot opens naturally, while a diagonal lateral panel adds structure without stiffness.

Three elastic straps link that panel to a larger medial section. Knotted detailing gives the shoe texture, while a small faux pearl adds a signature CLOT flourish. It’s restrained, not flashy, and feels intentional rather than decorative.

Nothing is official yet. Still, expectations point toward a Spring/Summer 2026 launch. If this direction continues, the CLOT x adidas Qi Flow could sit among the duo’s most original designs to date.

Caitlin Clark Returns in Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Team USA” PE

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Caitlin Clark debuting a new Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Team USA” PE headlines her long-awaited return to the court. After an injury-limited 2025 WNBA season, Clark is back with Team USA Women’s Basketball for December training camp.

Her presence immediately changes the tone. Clark joins a youth-loaded roster featuring Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, and Juju Watkins. Together, they represent the next era of USA Basketball dominance. Seeing Clark healthy again feels meaningful for the sport’s momentum.

While shooting around at Duke University, Clark was spotted wearing an unreleased Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Team USA” Player Exclusive. The duo are decked out in a red, white and blue color palette with minimal gradient accents. The design is an obvious tribute to the Kobe 5 “USA” from 2010, but this one feels a lot crisper.

The Kobe 5 Protro silhouette remains a favorite among elite guards. Its low profile, court feel, and lockdown fit continue to translate at the highest level. Clark choosing this model reinforces its relevance nearly 15 years after its debut.

There is no confirmed retail release for this PE. However, growing demand for Kobe retros keeps the conversation alive. With Kobe Brand momentum still strong, a future public drop cannot be ruled out.

For now, the spotlight stays on Clark’s return and the her Nike Kobe 5 Protro Team USA PE.

This Jordan Tatum 4 Channels Bruce Lee

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Jordan Tatum 4 “Bruce Lee” taps into a color story that sneaker fans recognize instantly. Yellow and Black have long carried weight in basketball culture, tracing back to Bruce Lee’s film legacy and its later crossover into footwear.

They don’t dance around this theme. A bright yellow mesh and suede upper sets the stage. Black piping across the toebox, sides and heel sharpens the look without fussing. A red tongue logo is just enough of a break up. Laces stay on script as well in a yellow-and-black combo.

Bruce Lee-inspired sneakers usually land loud or symbolic. This one feels more wearable than most, especially compared to earlier tributes built purely for nostalgia.

The Jordan Tatum 4 “Bruce Lee” is expected to launch in Spring 2026 for $135 in men’s sizing. Check for pairs through Nike.com and select retailers.

UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Max 95 “Hyper Cobalt” Exclusive To Birmingham

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The UNDEFEATED x BCFC x Nike Air Max 95 “Hyper Cobalt” delivers a city-rooted take on an all-time classic. As part of UNDEFEATED’s global Air Max 95 run, Birmingham gets a dedicated edition tied directly to local football culture.

The upper sticks to the iconic grey gradient made famous by the original “Neon” colorway. However, Hyper Cobalt replaces volt accents throughout. Blue hits appear on the lace loops, mini Swoosh, and visible Air units, creating strong contrast without straying from the model’s DNA.

UNDEFEATED branding runs deep across the design. Repeating logo piping lines the wavy panels, while custom laces and a bold outsole graphic reinforce the collaboration. What separates this pair is the Birmingham City Football Club connection. BCFC branding lands on the tongue, paired with the club’s globe crest stamped on the heel.

This drop belongs to UNDEFEATED’s ultra-limited Geo Pack, celebrating 30 years of the Air Max 95 through city-specific releases. After New York and Tokyo editions capped at 600 pairs each, Birmingham receives a wider run, though scarcity remains intact at 2,200 numbered pairs.

The UNDEFEATED x BCFC x Nike Air Max 95 “Hyper Cobalt” releases via raffle opening December 13th. Pickup takes place on December 16–17 at BCFC’s Knighthead Park stadium. Retail is set at $200.

Jordan Tatum 4 “Black/Pinksicle” Now Available (December 2025)

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 12/12/25: The Jordan Tatum 4 “Pinksicle” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 12/2/25:
The Jordan Tatum 4 “Black/Pinksicle” brings a sharp shift from the floral concepts used on earlier colorways, trading them for a more streamlined look.

This version leans heavily on deep black materials, giving the upper a tougher, more polished feel. The white mid-foot panel creates a crisp break, a contrast that quietly nods to some of Tatum’s past performance pairs that relied on simple split blocking rather than loud prints.

Bright Pinksicle accents then pull everything together, adding a hit of energy along the liner, trim, and full outsole. It’s a color pop that feels familiar to fans who enjoy Jordan Brand’s bolder hoops palettes, yet it still keeps the shoe wearable. The combination reads fast, clean, and built for players who want something expressive without going over the top.

The Jordan Tatum 4 “Black/Pinksicle” launches December 12th, 2025 for $130. Pairs release through Nike.com and select retailers.

UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Max 95 “Fire Red” Exclusive To Tokyo

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Max 95 “Fire Red” closes out the Air Max 95 “big bubble” year with rare Tokyo-only energy. Limited to just 600 pairs, this release lands among the most exclusive Air Max drops of the year.

The design pulls directly from classic Air Max 95 DNA. Like the original “Neon”, the layered gradient remains intact. However, Fire Red replaces volt accents across the eyelets, lace loops, and visible Air units. That swap gives the shoe a sharper, more aggressive finish.

UNDEFEATED branding appears throughout without overpowering the silhouette. Repeating text lines the upper panels, while TPU mini Swooshes add a modern touch. A red lace toggle stamped with UNDEFEATED’s logo reinforces the collaboration’s identity. Underfoot, the red-tinted Big Bubble nods to the model’s heritage while standing out visually.

Each pair is individually numbered, with “1/600” stitched onto the insole. That detail highlights the scarcity driving this release. Access remains strictly local. On December 12th, UNDEFEATED notified a handful of users in Japan through its app. Anyone who won will have to show up at UNDEFEATED Shibuya on December 14th at 9:00 AM local time to pick up their pair.

Adding even more buzz, a student-only challenge goes down on December 13th, with two winners taking home pairs outright. Altogether, the UNDEFEATED x Nike Air Max 95 “Fire Red” strikes a balance between heritage roots, a restrained design, and the kind of scarcity that fuels real demand.ke Air Max 95 Fire Red blends heritage, restraint, and scarcity-driven appeal.

JJJJound x New Balance 990v4 “Mushroom” Preorder Now Live

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 12/12/25: The JJJJound x New Balance 990v4 “Mushroom” preorder is now live, CLICK HERE.

Original Story 12/9/25:
New Balance and JJJJound are going back to basics with the upcoming New Balance 990v4 “Mushroom.” The shoe leans into a rich earthy palette, pairing brown suede with deeper brown underlays and soft off-white laces that highlight the subtle updates of the v4 build.

This release is also unique because it’s being offered through a preorder instead of a standard launch. While the internal reasoning isn’t publicly shared, the preorder format likely helps the team determine accurate production numbers ahead of the Fall 2026 delivery. That approach could make this one of the more accessible entries in the collaboration’s lineup.

Pricing has not been announced, but preorders open December 12th at 9 AM EST, and the landing page is already live for anyone wanting early details.

Nike SNKRS Reloaded Continues With Patta Air Max Restock

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 12/12/25: Day three keeps the momentum going with the Patta x Air Max collaboration, featuring two Air Max 90 colorways alongside the eye-catching “Blue Patent” Air Max DN8.

UPDATE 12/11/25: Day two rolls in with fresh restocks of the Kobe 9 Elite Low Protro “Moonwalker” and the Kobe 4 Protro “FC Barcelona.” These aren’t the year’s biggest Kobe releases, but they’re still drawing real interest. In fact, both pairs are already moving for more than retail on the resale market.

UPDATE 12/10/25: Nike is launching SNKRS Reloaded, a six-day restock series that will see some of the season’s most sought-after pairs making a return. The event will be available across select European territories (UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands), and will include a fresh drop each day from December 10–15.

The first drop of SNKRS Reloaded is already live, bringing back the Travis Scott Zoom Field Jaxx in the “Pale Ivory/Leche Blue” colorway originally released in May 2025. This restock is only available through Nike SNKRS in participating European markets.

Original Story 10/9/25:
The Nike SNKRS Reloaded event is back this month, bringing a six-day wave of restocks that could revive some of 2025’s most talked-about drops. Nike hasn’t confirmed which pairs are returning, but the teaser hints at heat the brand held back all season.

Recent history suggests this run will blend quiet movers with quick sellouts, similar to past SNKRS restock cycles. Yet fans shouldn’t expect unicorn pairs like the “Brick By Brick” 4s, UNDEFEATED 4s, or anything tied to Travis Scott. Those pairs almost never surface during Reloaded events, though sneakerheads know surprises can hit without warning.

For now, the rollout remains locked behind SNKRS’ usual mystery. No launch time has been posted, and early signs point to a Europe-only window. Still, restocks often shift without notice, so staying glued to the app is the best strategy. Keep notifications on and check frequently as the Nike SNKRS Reloaded event unfolds.

Nike Vomero 5 Appears in Black Patent Leather

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Vomero 5 “Black Patent” takes a familiar model and gives it an unexpected shine.

The shoe sticks to a dark mix of Black, Metallic Silver, and Anthracite, but the glossy panels instantly change how it feels in hand. It’s the kind of finish you usually see on dressier sneakers, not a tech runner, so it gives the Vomero a different energy right away.

Nike has played in the “stealth runner” lane for years, though this one feels a bit more confident. The patent hits don’t scream for attention, but they definitely catch light in a way past pairs didn’t. Silver branding and a few reflective bits help break up the blackout look so the upper doesn’t turn into one flat block of color.

The Nike Vomero 5 “Black Patent” is expected in Spring 2026 for $160, releasing through the usual Nike.com and select retailers.

Jordan Brand Goes Full Citrus With This Gore-Tex Air Jordan 1 Low Element

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Air Jordan 1 Low Element Gore-Tex “Light Lemon Twist” lands with the kind of energy you notice right away. This color mix—Light Lemon Twist, Life Lime, and Lime Ice—feels like something Jordan Brand saved for a moment where the AJ1 Low could lean outdoors without losing its roots.

The upper pairs tough ripstop with smooth leather, then throws in Light Wild Mango hits that act almost like high-vis tabs on hiking gear. You also get that classic Gore-Tex beading across the surface, which tells you the shoe isn’t just pretending to be weather-ready. Reflective lace details and a glowing Swoosh add a small “night trek” vibe too.

Then there’s the outsole. Those chunky lugs look ripped straight from early ACG archives, and they completely change how this AJ1 sits.

The Air Jordan 1 Element Low “Light Lemon Twist” arrives Spring 2026 for $205 through Nike.com and select retailers for $205.

Nike Gives The Air Max 90 A Sharp Premium Look With “Burgundy Croc”

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Air Max 90 “Burgundy Croc” feels like one of those pairs Nike sneaks in at the end of the year, when everyone’s watching the big holiday drops and a sleeper quietly steals the spotlight. This one leans on a mix of Tattoo, Light Violet Ore, White, and that deep Burgundy Crush shade that always seems to hit on the 90. But let’s be real—the croc overlay is what people will talk about. It adds that old premium AM90 energy Nike used to play with, except the shape here looks a little sharper.

There’s a mix of tumbled and smooth leather up top, nothing overdone, just enough texture to keep the shoe interesting. The burgundy eyelets and heel badge lock the palette in place. Clean midsole. Classic Air window. The usual formula, but dressed up.

It’s a women’s drop set for December 2025 at $155, check for pairs via Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Gives The Vomero 18 A Calm Lunar New Year Glow For 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Vomero 18 “Year of the Horse” slips into the 2026 Lunar New Year with a surprisingly calm mood. The upper stays clean in cream mesh, while the heel swaps the expected horse artwork for small wing graphics. It’s a clever nod that doesn’t shout for attention.

The midsole handles the spotlight instead. The gradient rolls from yellow to blue, then finishes on orange, giving the runner a hit of energy without breaking the vibe. The maroon liner and black Swoosh help ground everything, and the desert-style tongue label quietly links the shoe to the rest of the pack.

Expect the Nike Vomero 18 “Year of the Horse” to release during Spring 2026, priced at $155 in unisex sizing. Pairs will be available through Nike.com and select retailers.

The New Balance 1906F Debuts Spring 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The New Balance 1906F steps in as the next twist on the 1906 line, keeping the cushioning people already trust while shifting the spotlight to the upper. The midsole doesn’t try to reinvent anything—ABZORB SBS in the heel still handles the long days without making a scene.

But the upper tells a different story. New Balance moves away from the usual suede-and-leather build and leans into a smooth synthetic shell, a setup that echoes the old “no-sew” 1906R that quietly influenced the series. Then comes the wild part: a dense grid of tiny TPU hits layered exactly where the overlays used to sit. Up close, it gives the shoe this engineered, almost armor-like look, the kind of detail collectors love to study.

Two colorways start things off—Silver/White for the clean crowd and Black/Grey for something moodier. The New Balance 1906F is expected in Spring 2026, with pairs hitting sneaker shops once the launch rolls out.

Outkast x Nike Air Force 1 Low “ATLiens” Releases Fall 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Outkast x Nike Air Force 1 “ATLiens” is shaping up to be one of those sneaker moments that taps directly into music nostalgia. Nike is lining up this Air Force 1 O96 colorway for Fall 2026, just in time to salute the 30th Anniversary of ATLiens — the record that shifted the sound of Atlanta and pushed Southern hip-hop into a different orbit.

This Air Force 1 pulls cues from the album’s sci-fi cover art, blending Black, Vivid Purple, Deep Night White, Barely Volt, and Desert Bronze. Even though early talk suggests this isn’t an official Outkast collab, the palette alone makes the tribute feel unmistakable. The cosmic vibe matches the artwork fans know by heart, and Nike has a long history of dropping story-driven colorways that nod to culture without calling it out directly. We still haven’t seen first-look images, so details may tighten up as the release gets closer.

ATLiens dropped on August 27, 1996, and quickly hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 before going double platinum off songs like “Elevators,” “Two Dope Boyz,” and “Jazzy Belle.” The album’s space-themed visuals and fresh, forward sound defined a whole moment in music, so a sneaker inspired by it immediately connects with anyone who grew up listening to Outkast.

Outkast Nike Air Force 1 ATLiens Release Date

The Outkast x Nike Air Force 1 Low “ATLiens” is expected to drop in Summer 2026, with an August launch lining up nicely with the album’s original release date. You’ll be able to grab pairs through Nike Sportswear retailers and on Nike.com.

One Piece x Nike Air Max Plus “Devil Fruits” Collection Releases Fall 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The One Piece x Nike Air Max Plus “Devil Fruits” Collection is shaping up to be one of next year’s most ambitious anime crossovers. Nike is preparing three themed colorways inspired by the Gomu Gomu, Mera Mera, and Ope Ope Fruits, each tied to some of the series’ most famous abilities.

The collaboration won’t be limited to footwear, as a small capsule of apparel with tops and accessories will also be featured as part of the drop. Fans of the franchise as well as Air Max collectors will likely have this launch bookmarked on their radars, particularly as the Air Max Plus is already one of the most cultized silhouettes of sneaker culture worldwide.

In the world of One Piece, Devil Fruits are a magical force that provides their consumer with superhuman abilities which also go on to have entire story arcs surrounding them. Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Mi is what causes his rubber elasticity, which is responsible for many of his most famous attacks.The Mera Mera no Mi, first wielded by Ace and now by Sabo, fuels flame-based combat and flight. Trafalgar Law’s Ope Ope no Mi lets him manipulate space through his “Room,” enabling everything from teleportation to surgical reality-bending. These abilities provide a natural foundation for bold sneaker storytelling.

While Nike has not released official photos, early descriptions outline clear color themes. The Gomu Gomu pair mixes purple, green, and sport red. The Mera Mera colorway embraces bright oranges and yellows, leaning into its heat-driven identity. Meanwhile, the Ope Ope version uses berry tones, jade, and deeper greens for a look that mirrors Law’s controlled chaos. Coordinating jerseys, tees, and hats will land alongside the three sneakers.
