UPDATE 9/5/25: Slam Magazine shares a detailed look at the upcoming Nike Ja 3 “Turbo Green” set to release November 5th.

Original Story 7/25/25:
Nike Basketball is getting festive with a holiday-ready release of the Nike Ja 3 “Turbo Green”, a new colorway added to Ja Morant’s signature collection. The high-performance sneaker arrives in time for the end-of-year festivities with an aesthetically sharp look.

The primary hue of the upper is Turbo Green, with textured logo graphics in black scattered throughout. The side and outsole are both wrapped in a contrasting University Red Swoosh for visual pop. Matching red embroidery on the heel reads “TWELVE,” a reference to Morant’s jersey number.

ZoomX foam from Nike sits below the foot, providing maximum responsiveness and energy return. The Ja 3 remains one of the more bouncy basketball shoes on the market thanks to this feature. Meanwhile, the outsole tread pattern provides multidirectional traction for swift cuts and explosive maneuvers.

Morant’s signature line has been a consistently strong product with a nice balance of performance technology and personal narrative. This latest iteration lands at a perfect time with a festive color scheme and aggressive ZoomX construction.

Air Jordan 1 Low “Somos Eternos” Celebrates Día de Muerto

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Jordan Brand pays homage to Día de Muerto with the Air Jordan 1 Low “Somos Eternos” edition. The Air Jordan 1 Low continues the collaboration’s theme of honoring tradition.

The Day of the Dead is a somber holiday, but it’s also a celebration of the people we’ve lost with color, joy, and a chance to remember what they meant to us. That’s exactly the vibe on display here with blue overlays accented with cream leather and pops of playful pink on the laces. A bright sun graphic is also displayed on the tongue for that extra glow up. The Swoosh has a more layered look thanks to a series of cut-out designs. It’s a subtle detail sneakerheads will no doubt geek out on.

The footwear also comes in “Somos Eternos” themed boxes that pack a similar punch. They also include a candle sticker as a modern-day offering. It’s cheeky and all in good fun, but it also does a nice job of letting people know sneakers are cool when they’re paying tribute to culture.

The Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Somos Eternos” debuts in Japan on September 8, 2025, with a broader release to come in the Día de Muerto period of late October and early November.

Tracy McGrady Officially Returns To adidas

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Tracy McGrady has officially re-signed with adidas. The Hall of Famer first inked his original deal with the Three Stripes back in 1997. After briefly breaking up with the brand, the two have reunited.

Tracy McGrady is one of the most important basketball figures in sneaker history when it comes to his partnership with adidas. His first $12 million contract was signed in 1997 when he was just coming into his own as a young star. Before that deal was set to expire, McGrady made a $100 million lifetime contract with the brand. Over the course of his career, McGrady released six shoes on his signature adidas line, and were considered some of the most important shoes from the early aughts. In 2022, McGrady publicly shared some of his grievances about how adidas had treated him and seemed to confirm their split by 2023.

Fast forward to today, and adidas has re-signed McGrady and will have him working with former adidas bigwig Sonny Vaccaro to bring back the legendary ABCD Camp to its former glory. For sneakers, we’ll be getting reissues of some of McGrady’s sneakers from his original signature line. For the full details and designs, we’ll have to wait, but McGrady’s return will be about more than just nostalgia.

“adidas has always been family to me,” McGrady said in the announcement. “Some of my proudest moments came while wearing the Three Stripes.”

With adidas Basketball reaffirming his impact, this new iteration of the partnership celebrates the best of what’s come before and opens the door to exciting new possibilities for future generations of players and fans.

Josh Allen Signs With New Balance

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The 2025 NFL season is in the books, and it’s safe to say that there’s plenty of action both on and off the gridiron. Earlier today, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has officially signed with New Balance.

In a letter published alongside the announcement, Allen opened up about his roots growing up in Firebaugh, California, and the values of grit, discipline, and community he credits for who he’s become. Joining the New Balance team, he wrote, “felt like home.” Tapping into the brand’s family focus and commitment to staying true to themselves and hard work, that’s a value statement sneakerheads and football fans will see manifest in the coming months.

The deal is an audacious one by New Balance, already a juggernaut in the lifestyle and running segments of the sneaker industry. Already a major player in football, the Boston-based brand is making an even bigger play for the association with Allen. Of course, there’s no way to ignore Nike as the NFL’s marquee partner, but as Allen’s deal is to show, there’s plenty of room for other contenders to find their lane. Keep an eye out for him breaking out New Balance cleats in-game as the 2025 season goes on.

Of course, for the curious sneaker fan looking to know what’s next, New Balance already has a full suite of football products for purchase on its site. Allen’s endorsement will carry plenty of credibility and no doubt drive interest from a younger generation of athletes exploring their options beyond the usual suspects. The move feels new, fresh, and deeply grounded in the culture of the sport.

Jordan Brand is marching into 2026 with the highly-anticipated release of the Air Jordan 3 “Orange Citrus”. Designed as a women’s sample in 2007 during the height of the LS era, the pair never made it to retail shelves — until now, almost two decades later.

Sticking to the Air Jordan 3 formula, the sneaker keeps things classic with a clean white leather upper and contrasting elephant print overlays. The signature pattern is updated with vibrant “Orange Citrus” accents across the collar, outsole, and lining. A red Jumpman on the tongue and heel brings a point of contrast, as grey TPU pieces unite the sneaker with a sense of balance and structure.

What makes this drop unique is that Jordan Brand is going deeper in the vault. This isn’t just a simple re-release of classic pairs. The brand is resurfacing from the archives a host of previously unseen samples that have only been seen in pictures by sneakerheads everywhere. For long time collectors, this is one for the books as it gives them something new and rare to drool over while also scratching their itch for nostalgia of the mid-2000s era of the LS. That is the kind of attention to detail true fans will pick up on and appreciate immediately.

Air Jordan 3 Orange Citrus 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Orange Citrus” will release on April 25, 2026, in women’s sizing only. Pairs will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers and online at Nike.com.

Original Story 5/5/25:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn’t just breaking ankles—he’s breaking necks with his sleek Converse SHAI 001 Charm Black. Inspired by his mom, Charmaine (yes, the drip is family-approved), this sneaker screams stealth and style.

The SHAI 001 “Charm Black” features a no-sew upper that looks smoother than your pickup lines. Crafted with neoprene and TPU paneling, it’s dipped in head-to-toe black. The plush midfoot and collar are puffier than a TikTok puffer jacket.

Covering the laces is a zipper shroud that adds spy-level secrecy and partially hides Shai’s hand-drawn logo on the tongue. The embroidery? A subtle dark grey flex. The name “Charm Black” doesn’t just sound cool—it’s a shoutout to Shai’s mom, which makes it cooler.

Branding is minimal but meaningful. You’ll find Converse’s chevron on the heel and a low-key Air Zoom logo on the toe. Performance-wise, this shoe isn’t just about looking good. It packs a full-length foam midsole and an Air Zoom unit, ready for game time—or flex time.

Jalen Hurts steps out in the brand new Air Jordan 11 “Love Hurts” Cleats to open the 2025 NFL season in Lincoln Financial Field.
