KEEN Joins The Sneaker-Loafer Trend

KEEN is dropping something different with the UNEEK Loafer WK, landing August 28th in smooth black leather. It’s not just another slip-on — this one balances casual sneaker energy with a dress shoe’s edge.

The design pulls straight from KEEN’s DNA. Woven cords wrap the forefoot and collar, a detail longtime fans will recognize from the UNEEK sandal line. Here, though, it leans closer to a boat shoe vibe, which honestly feels like the right call for today’s loafer wave.

Comfort gets plenty of attention too. The pair rides on KEEN.CURVE cushioning, a sole made for all-day wear. Try them on and you’ll feel the difference compared to stiff loafers you’d normally avoid after a few hours. It’s practical, but also sneakerhead-friendly.

Retail is set at $190 in unisex sizing. Limited pairs release through keenfootwear.com and select shops. If past hybrid models are any clue, these won’t sit for long.

Yu-Gi-Oh! x Nike Air Max 95 Releases September 12th

UPDATE 8/21/25: Nike has revealed the Yu-Gi-Oh! x Air Max 95 from its .SWOOSH initiative. Two colorways drop September 12th — the global “Joey” in “Psychic Blue/Mystic Navy” – available on SNKRS, and Japan-exclusive “Jonouchi” in Grey. Both come in custom boxes with official playable Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards, a first for KONAMI collaborations. The collection also includes a Destroyer jacket and classic tees.

Original Story 3/23/25:
Nike just keeps getting more creative with their new Fall 2025 collaboration, this time, with the original Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. The iconic “Air Muscle” sneaker from the anime, which Joey Wheeler wore, and which was based on the Air Max 95 “Neon”, makes a comeback.

The new Nike Air Muscle 95 will be available in two colorways. While the “Joey” features the colors Psychic Blue, Mystic Navy, Stone Blue, and Volt accents, the Japan-only “Jonouchi” plays with a grayscale palette of White, Wolf Grey, Dark Smoke Grey, and Cool Grey. Of course, both designs keep the original Air Max 95 silhouette with added details based on the anime.

In addition to the sneakers, Nike will also be dropping a clothing line, which includes a Domino High x Nike Destroyer jacket ($200 USD) and black, white, and grey Solo Swoosh tees ($35 USD).

Yu-Gi-Oh! Air Max 95 Release Date

The Nike Air Muscle 95 Yu-Gi-Oh! Collection will be available on September 12, 2025 at select Nike Sportswear retail stores and at Nike.com. The price for each shoe will be $210 USD.

New Balance Made in USA Fall/Winter 2025 Collection by Teddy Santis

New Balance just unveiled its Made in USA Fall/Winter 2025 collection, directed by Teddy Santis. The 992 is the clear star of the show, presented in four colorways. We’ve got an earthy tan, olive, a bright sky blue, and a deeper purple. They each look a bit different but fit into Santis’ overall look of toning down some looks while pushing the limits on others.

The 990v6 returns too, done up in olive and brown, beige with cream, plus an olive–navy combo. The shapes stay the same, but the tweaks in color blocking give every pair its own identity. Sneakerheads will notice those small shifts right away.

Other entries include a 997 in yellow and a 1300 in rich brown. Both round out the lineup and remind fans that Santis is still pulling from New Balance’s deep archive, not just focusing on one model.

Some pairs are already out at select shops. Others will drop gradually over the next few months. With lifestyle shots highlighting the entire capsule, this Made in USA collection looks like one of Santis’ strongest runs yet. Good luck grabbing your size when the rest land.

Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 991 Spotted in Fall/Winter 2025 Lookbook

Teddy Santis is giving the original New Balance 991 some shine again. The pair shows up in the Aimé Leon Dore Fall/Winter 2025 lookbook, a switch from the newer 991v2 that’s been in the spotlight since last year. Choosing the first model feels intentional—almost like a call back to where things started.

The shoe mixes off-white mesh with red underlays and rich brown suede. The palette instantly grabs attention. Some will even see shades of the old SB Dunk “Bison,” though here it carries ALD’s cleaner finish. Shown with a western-style coat from the collection, it fits right into Santis’ layered look.

It’s worth noting the timing. Since the 991v2 came out in 2023, the original version hasn’t had much presence. Bringing it back now, heel-to-toe drop and all, shows a clear focus on heritage. That detail alone will matter to collectors.

No firm release info yet. But with the ALD x New Balance 991 already pictured in the lookbook, a launch is clearly on the way. And when it does happen, don’t count on pairs sitting around.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Reveals New Balance “Desert Heat” Collection

New Balance is dropping the Desert Heat Collection on August 28th, only through Foot Locker. Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is the face of the campaign, photographed in the desert with pairs that fit right into the scenery.

The highlight is the 1906R. One colorway mixes black and blue mesh with bright hits of yellow, green, and pink. It’s loud but balanced. The second pair is a women’s exclusive, leaning heavy into red and pink with black details. Both versions keep the layered 1906R shape but push it in different directions.

And then there’s the New Balance 1000. This one comes in black, pink, and green, almost giving off a watermelon vibe. Suede and ripstop materials toughen the shoe up, while leather panels keep it from going over the top. You can see why the 1000 keeps gaining traction—early-2000s sneakers have a way of sliding back into today’s style rotation.

The New Balance Desert Heat Pack lands August 28th at Foot Locker, and Champs already has some pairs listed. Good luck grabbing your size—these kinds of retro runners rarely stay on shelves.

Nike Astrograbber “Fir/Phantom” Releases August 26th

Originally released in 1974, the Nike Astrograbber was purpose-built to perform on America’s nascent artificial turf football fields. Arriving only a year after the Waffle Trainer, the silhouette came with an innovative, studded outsole for maximum traction and maneuverability. Today, Nike is resurfacing the vintage silhouette with an updated interpretation that straddles its sporty lineage and current streetwear allure.

In 2025, the all-leather silhouette is available in a striking combination of Fir green and Phantom tones. Sail accents help add contrast, while a tinted Fir outsole adds a premium touch. Additional laces are included with the pair, completing the detail-oriented retro treatment from Nike. Though once a gridiron exclusive, the Astrograbber’s sleek, streamlined design should easily transition into a contemporary lifestyle staple.

The Nike Astrograbber “Fir/Phantom” will launch August 26th on SNKRS and select retail partners for $135.

Sneakerheads and vintage collectors alike will certainly take notice of the thoughtful update.

Nike AlphaFly 3 “Eliud Kipchoge” Honors The No Human Is Limited Legacy

Nike’s next “Eliud Kipchoge” capsule, the Nike AlphaFly 3, will be inspired by his lifelong mantra, “No Human is Limited.” The title is also Kipchoge’s upcoming autobiography and a call-to-action for athletes to push past limits, both perceived and actual.

This energy comes through in the shoe, which sports a lightweight synthetic upper. Bold neon green Swooshes and a vibrant array of color pop on this background. A gradient midsole transitions through pink, orange, and purple, reflecting Kipchoge’s fearless mentality. No Human is Limited is even graffitied across the midsole tongue.

For additional messaging, a custom drawstring bag is included in the pack. Featuring hand-drawn Swooshes in a variety of bright hues, it is a reflection of the shoe itself. Both items serve as a great reminder of Kipchoge’s contributions to modern distance running.

The Nike AlphaFly 3 “Eliud Kipchoge” will drop Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $295.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Surfaces in Diffused Blue and Dark Team Red

Fall 2025 will see the release of the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Diffused Blue”. This variant elevates the original silhouette with a contemporary update without deviating from the AF1’s timelessness.

Smooth white leather underlays are matched with soft blue overlays to enhance the clean construction. Dark Team Red details on the Swoosh and heel break up the overall tone of the shoe, while also adding collegiate-inspired flair.

The AF1 has always had a culture-first feel to it, from its inception on the basketball court to being a streetwear mainstay. This release is no different, with the sneaker proving to be just as useful a pick for everyday looks as well as seasonal fits.

New Balance 2000 Brings Cool Ice Vibes

Sporting an icy finish, the New Balance 2000 “Blue Ice/Grey” is a collaboration of early millennium running and millennial-age freshness.

Primarily consisting of ice blue mesh and synthetic materials in the upper, the look is contrasted by bold white accents. A splash of classic grey accents on the midfoot “N” logo, tab on the tongue, and ABZORB SBS cushioning pods complete the overall aesthetic with a timeless New Balance heritage.

Connecting to an archive of frosty hues, this fresh iteration of the 2000 once again checkmates on culture since its predecessors – the 990, 2002R and others – so did. The “Blue Ice/Grey” highlights a sculpted midsole with exposed cushioning technologies and a dual-tone outsole that plays on grey and black. New Balance’s longtime original runner gets an update that cements its early millennium-to-now lifespan.

The New Balance 2000 “Blue Ice/Grey” launches Fall 2025 via NewBalance.com and select retailers for $170.

Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy” Releases September 5th

Chris Brickley has worked with everyone from All-Stars to rising rookies. Now the trainer steps into sneakers with PUMA. His own pair: the All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy.”

This one leans heavy on New York ties. Cream leather and rough suede nod back to classics like the Clyde and Suede. A stitched “1948” patch marks PUMA’s founding year. The laces? Built like work boots—a clear wink at Timberland and the city that made them iconic.

The storytelling doesn’t stop there. The insoles look like a deli menu, a callback to Brickley’s grind before he became basketball’s go-to trainer. The box carries the Empire State Building skyline he sees daily. On the tongue sit his mottos—“Keep Going” and “Keep Growing.” His signature runs along the heel. No mistaking whose shoe this is.

Performance hasn’t been forgotten. PUMA dropped in NITRO™ SQD cushioning, tuned for today’s game. Trainers, pros, and anyone who runs full court will feel it right away. Clean look, solid build, and plenty of meaning baked in.

The Chris Brickley x PUMA All-Pro NITRO 2 “Empire Legacy” drops September 5, 2025, for $140 on PUMA.com and select retailers.
