Willy Chavarria x adidas Stan Smith Previewed At Paris Fashion Week

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Willy Chavarria ended his Spring/Summer 2027 runway show in Paris with a first look at what appears to be his next adidas project. Two unreleased Stan Smiths showed up during the finale, with Chavarria wearing one pair and Stan Smith himself appearing in the other.

The white version stays close to the shoe’s traditional look, but the details give it a different feel. Chavarria added a shaggy green heel tab, “W” branding at the back, and a small rose embroidered along the side. It still reads like a Stan Smith, just with his fingerprints all over it.

The second pair goes much further. Worn by Stan Smith, the entire upper is covered in thick green suede that looks almost like grass. It is a simple idea, but it connects back to the model’s tennis roots in a way that feels direct without turning the shoe into a costume.

This would be the latest step in Chavarria’s expanding adidas partnership. His recent work with the brand has included Mexico-inspired clothing, goalkeeper jerseys, and reworked Copa footwear, so the move into one of adidas’ most recognizable lifestyle models feels like a natural next step.

adidas has not shared a release date or pricing for the Willy Chavarria x adidas Stan Smith. The two pairs could arrive later in 2026 or alongside the Spring/Summer 2027 collection, though neither timeframe has been confirmed.

A-COLD-WALL* x Salomon ACS Pro Releases July 1st

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The A-COLD-WALL* x Salomon ACS Pro is bringing fresh attention back to the early-2000s trail runner. Originally introduced in 2005, the ACS Pro has recently started gaining momentum again following projects with L’Art de l’Automobile and now Samuel Ross’ A-COLD-WALL* label.

First shown during Paris Fashion Week, the collaboration includes two colorways with the same updated construction. A thinner mesh replaces the model’s usual leather and mesh underlays, while rubber reinforcement wraps around the toe for added protection.

One pair keeps things muted with olive green and beige tones over a grey midsole. The second takes a louder approach, pairing royal blue with yellow accents. Both versions also feature woodgrain-like detailing on the lace eyelets connected to the shoe’s signature cage.

The A-COLD-WALL* x Salomon ACS Pro will release July 1, 2026, in men’s sizing. Check out the official photos below.

adidas Anthony Edwards Believe That 1 “Philippines” Nods To Gilas Pilipinas

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The adidas Anthony Edwards Believe That 1 “Philippines” gives Ant’s first takedown model a colorway made specifically for one of basketball’s loudest and most loyal fan bases.

Red, orange, and yellow run across the shoe in a warm gradient, with the brighter shades taking over the tongue and collar before fading into deeper tones near the toe. Dark burgundy pieces frame the sides, while the translucent outsole keeps the same fiery look going underneath.

The local references are worked into the smaller details. A Philippines basketball crest sits on the tongue, “Pilipinas Basketball” appears on the lace tips, and “Lahi” is printed on the heel pull tab. Patterned insoles add one more layer to the theme without making the shoe feel overloaded.

This pair arrives alongside the Anthony Edwards 2 “Magpakitang Gilas”, giving Filipino fans another special release from Edwards’ growing adidas lineup. It also comes as adidas builds a stronger connection with Gilas Pilipinas after becoming the national team’s official outfitter.

The adidas Anthony Edwards Believe That 1 “Philippines” is expected to release soon as a Philippines exclusive. The retail price should come in at roughly $100.

Jae Tips x Nike Air Bakin Low Releases Spring 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Jae Tips and Savior Worldwide are preparing their first official Nike collaboration, with the partnership expected to begin on the newly introduced Nike Air Bakin Low.

The Bronx designer is reportedly putting his stamp on two colorways of the low-top basketball model for Spring 2027. The project follows Nike’s announcement earlier this year that Jae Tips had joined the brand after a successful stretch with Saucony.

His Saucony releases became known for loud color combinations, personal storytelling, and packaging that felt connected to each project. That same approach appears to be carrying over to Nike, at least based on the first color details tied to the Air Bakin Low collection.

One pair comes dressed in Cobalt Bliss, Chile Red, Varsity Maize, Atlantic Blue, and Pine Green. The second combines Black, Blue Beyond, Purple Stardust, Arctic Pink, and Pine Green. Both palettes line up with the bright, layered look Jae Tips has used throughout his recent sneaker work.

Nike introduced the Air Bakin Low during Paris Fashion Week, showing the reworked basketball shoe in its first general-release colorways. The model keeps the bold personality of the original Air Bakin while reshaping it into a lower-cut design. Its rugged look has already drawn comparisons to Nike ACG footwear from the 1990s.

Rather than beginning with one of Nike’s current flagship runners, his first project appears connected to an older period of Nike Basketball that still holds weight in New York sneaker culture. It could offer an early clue about the archival models Nike plans to place in his hands going forward.

Jae Tips Nike Air Bakin Low Release Date

Both Jae Tips x Nike Air Bakin Low colorways are expected to release during Spring 2027 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. The shoes will be available in men’s sizing with a retail price of $160 each. Nike has not yet announced an exact release date.

Reebok LTD Previews Spring/Summer 2027 Lineup

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Reebok LTD gave an early look at its Spring/Summer 2027 lineup during Paris Fashion Week, bringing back several archival models while continuing to push its more experimental designs.

The biggest reveal was the return of the Reebok DMX Daytona. Designed by Christian Tresser in the mid-1990s, the cross-trainer is often linked to his later work on the Nike Air Max 97. Reebok previewed the model in several directions, including metallic bronze and cobalt finishes, understated blue and beige suede options, and a light blue, brown, and yellow colorway.

The DMX Daytona also appears beyond its original sneaker form. Its sole unit has been paired with boat shoe and moccasin-style uppers, giving the retro performance design a more fashion-driven look.

Reebok applied a similar approach to the Premier LTD. Slip-on moc versions were shown in pink and grey, teal and burgundy, and a loud mix of purple, yellow, and green. Another variation keeps part of the traditional lacing system while adding circular brushed-metal cages along the sides.

More familiar versions of the Premier LTD were also included in the presentation, along with the Reebok Mostro in a steel, red, and gum color scheme. The Hammer and Club C LTD rounded out the preview with cleaner palettes and upgraded materials.

The Reebok LTD Spring/Summer 2027 Collection is expected to release during the first half of 2027. Exact launch dates, pricing, and availability have not yet been announced.

Nike Air Max 95 “Black Tongue Pack” Releases Spring 2027

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Air Max 95 “Black Tongue Pack” brings a small but noticeable change to the model’s familiar gradient setup. Blue, red, pink, and yellow colorways were previewed during Paris Fashion Week, all built around the layered upper and visible Air cushioning that have defined the shoe since 1995.

Rather than having a lighter tongue and lining like what you’ll find on duos such as the “Neon” these colorways keep black running through the center of the shoe. The darker base allows the bolder accents to pop without straying too far from the OG Air Max 95 formula.

The idea goes back further than most recent gradient releases. An early Air Max 95 prototype photographed with designer Sergio Lozano in the 1990s featured a similar look. That sample later became the reference point for the mita sneakers x Nike Air Max 95 “Ueno Prototype,” a highly limited release from 2013.

Nike has not tied the new pack directly to the mita collaboration, but the connection is there. For longtime collectors, especially those familiar with the Air Max 95’s prototype history, the black tongue is more than a simple color swap.

Four colorways have surfaced so far, with more possibly planned. The Nike Air Max 95 “Black Tongue Pack” is expected to release during Spring/Summer 2027 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. Exact release dates and pricing have not been announced.

adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Magpakitang Gilas” Celebrates Filipino Basketball Pride

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Anthony Edwards’ second signature shoe is heading into summer with a colorway tied to the Philippines. The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Magpakitang Gilas”, which translates to “show your best”, works the country’s red, blue, and white flag colors into the AE 2, though the upper leans much heavier on blue than anything else.

Royal blue mesh covers most of the base. Purple molded sections frame the shoe, dark navy breaks up the side panels, and red mesh peeks through the vents. Around the collar, sky blue fades into white near the heel. It is one of the quieter details on the pair, but it helps pull the flag-inspired palette together.

The Philippines reference is more direct on the tongue, where a red sun-and-stars emblem appears near the top. Bright green stitching runs underneath it. Green falls outside the main theme, but the contrast keeps the tongue from disappearing into the rest of the upper.

Much of the AE 2’s build remains exposed here. Breathable mesh sits behind the sculpted support pieces, while a carbon-fiber-patterned panel is tucked into the heel area. With several shades of blue used across the shoe, those separate layers are easier to pick out.

Underfoot, adidas uses an icy blue translucent outsole with herringbone traction through the forefoot and heel. Red and blue components remain visible beneath the rubber rather than being covered by additional graphics.

The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 “Magpakitang Gilas” releases June 26, 2026 via adidas Philippines. Retail is set at $130. No word yet on stateside availability.

Nike Book 2 “Detroit Tigers” Releases July 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Devin Booker is bringing another piece of home into his signature series with the Nike Book 2 “Detroit Tigers”. Built around a nearly all-navy color scheme, the pair connects Booker’s Michigan roots to one of Detroit’s most recognizable sports identities.

Midnight Navy covers nearly every part of the shoe, including the molded upper, midsole, laces, and translucent rubber outsole. The restrained palette puts more attention on the smaller details, especially the oversized patent Swoosh running along each side. White striping appears through the lace loops, tongue, and heel pull tabs to break up the darker finish.

Detroit’s Old English “D” gives the colorway its defining touch. The Tigers logo is embroidered near the lateral heel in white, while “Chapter Two” lettering runs vertically down the back. Booker branding also appears along the tongue, keeping the baseball reference tied closely to the Book 2 rather than turning the shoe into a full uniform-inspired design.

The connection goes beyond Booker simply being born in Michigan. He has continued to support Detroit sports throughout his NBA career, even after becoming closely linked with Phoenix. Earlier in 2026, Booker released his latest “Detroit Tigers” Blazer Lows, making this release feel like a continuation of that relationship.

Personal storytelling has shaped the Nike Book line from the beginning. Booker and Nike have used previous colorways to reference his dogs, Arizona, vintage footwear, and pieces of his off-court life. The “Detroit Tigers” edition takes a quieter approach. There are no oversized graphics or heavy baseball details, just a familiar team color and a logo that carries the story.

The Nike Book 2 “Detroit Tigers” releases July 8, 2026, in men’s sizing for $155. Look for the pair at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com.

Nike Air Max 1 “Baltimore Orioles” Now Available (June 2026)

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 6/26/26: The Nike Air Max 1 City Connect “Orioles” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 5/26/26:
The Nike Air Max 1 City Connect “Baltimore Orioles” brings Camden Yards into the spotlight with a release built around one of baseball’s most familiar ballparks. The Orioles-inspired pair is scheduled to release June 8, 2026, at DICK’S Sporting Goods for $150.

Nike’s City Connect line has leaned heavily into local storytelling, and Baltimore gives this Air Max 1 plenty to work with. Instead of relying only on Orioles colors, the design pulls from details tied to the team’s latest City Connect uniform and the stadium itself.

Camden Yards’ brick architecture plays a key role across the shoe. A brick-style pattern lands on the heel as a nod to the B&O Warehouse, the iconic backdrop sitting beyond right field. It gives the pair a direct Baltimore connection without turning the shoe into a full team-uniform replica.

The tongue adds another stadium reference with a graphic inspired by the analog clock in center field. Eutaw Street’s home run markers also help shape the story, giving the release more depth for Orioles fans and sneaker collectors who appreciate city-specific details.

The Nike Air Max 1 City Connect “Baltimore Orioles” releases June 8, 2026, at DICK’S Sporting Goods for $150. Pairs may also arrive earlier through the Orioles Team Store, with select local shops possibly receiving pairs as well.

Nike Air Max 1 “San Diego Padres” Now Available (June 2026)

By
Mario Briguglio

UPDATE 6/26/26: The Nike Air Max 1 City Connect “San Diego Padres” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 3/27/26:
Nike is tapping into baseball energy again, this time with a Nike Air Max 1 inspired by the San Diego Padres’ alternate look. The pair appears to pull from the team’s leaked City Connect direction, blending bold colors with Día de los Muertos details for a design that feels lively and full of character.

The theme comes through most clearly on the insoles, which feature a floral skull graphic tied to the holiday influence. From there, the shoe leans into a colorful mix of panels that gives the Air Max 1 a louder, more expressive finish than usual. Nike also made sure the Padres connection stays visible, adding team-style branding on the shaggy suede Swoosh and an MLB lace lock at the center.

Beyond the baseball tie-in, the sneaker stands out on its own thanks to its bright palette and layered construction. It fits the growing crossover trend of turning team uniform stories into lifestyle footwear, similar to what Nike has already done with football-inspired Air Max releases.

Nike Air Max 1 “San Diego Padres” Release Date

The Nike Air Max 1 “San Diego Padres” is set to release June 26, 2026 at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price tag is set at $150 USD.

Nike A’Two “A’ja Effect” Gets Mismatched Pink and Blue Style

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A’ja Wilson’s second signature sneaker takes on a mismatched pink-and-blue look with the Nike A’Two “A’ja Effect”. Designed for grade school sizing, the colorway splits its palette between the left and right shoes while carrying several shared details across the pair.

The left sneaker is built around a baby blue molded upper and matching midsole. Royal blue fills the quilted collar and padded heel, then appears again across a jeweled Swoosh that fades out from black. Pink breaks up the cooler shades through the A’ja logo near the midsole and the mesh ventilation on the medial side.

Pastel pink covers most of the right shoe, including the upper and midsole. Hot pink sharpens the collar, heel, and gradient Swoosh, while a lighter translucent pink finishes the outsole. Royal blue details along the medial section and midsole bring the left shoe’s main color into the opposite side.

The sneakers each have black quilted toe boxes, sockliners, heel tabs and A’ja-branded heel counters. Those black elements help tie together the asymmetrical look without overpowering the independent color blocking. Glitter-encased A’ja tongue logos finish them off.

The Nike A’Two “A’ja Effect” will release during Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers online and in stores. This colorway will retail for $122.

Nike GT Cut 4 “EYBL” Releases July 7th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike is opening up one of its latest EYBL exclusives to the public with the Nike GT Cut 4 “EYBL,” a Bright Violet edition scheduled for July 7, 2026. Originally expected in May, the release has been pushed deeper into the summer and will retail for $210.

Bright Violet covers the GT Cut 4’s asymmetric upper from heel to toe, moving away from the contrasting two-tone layout used on other versions of the performance model. The metallic treatment reacts to changing light, giving the purple finish a darker or brighter appearance depending on the viewing angle.

Soft purple appears along the sockliner and outsole, while dark mauve laces break up the tonal design. Together, the three shades give the shoe more depth without distracting from the reflective upper, which remains the defining feature of the colorway.

EYBL editions are created around Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League, a national circuit that brings many of the country’s top high school players together for showcase competition. Special footwear has long been part of the tournament, with athletes regularly receiving player-exclusive colorways that never reach store shelves.

This GT Cut 4 takes a different route. Nike is making the EYBL makeup available beyond the tournament, continuing the recent shift toward releasing select youth-circuit designs to a wider audience. The bold purple palette also gives the model a distinct identity compared to the team-based and two-tone colorways commonly associated with performance basketball releases.

The Nike GT Cut 4 “EYBL” is set to release July 7, 2026 through SNKRS and select retailers for $210.

BAPE MARY JANE STA Debuts June 27th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

With the Women’s MARY JANE STA, BAPE brings the familiar Mary Jane shape into its growing footwear lineup. Metallic Grey and Pink make up the first colorways, both carrying over the familiar strap design while moving the shoe well away from the slim, understated versions seen lately.

The uppers are mostly glossy and tonal, broken up by mesh panels along the sides. Those sections add ventilation, but they also keep the metallic finish from swallowing the whole design. Across the midfoot, a wide STA logo strap replaces the laces and secures the shoe. It is the main branding hit and part of the actual build, not something added afterward.

BAPE provides the sole with something extra to look at. The midsole is semi-clear, and features a shimmering TPU STA embedded in the side. This accents creates some dimension under the glossy upper, helping transition the model more towards sneaker.

The BAPE MARY JANE STA “Grey” and “Pink” will release June 27, 2026, through BAPE.Com and participating BAPE STORE locations.

adidas Adizero Electric II Stitch Cleats Release For 626 Day

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Disney’s Stitch is heading to the football field on the adidas Adizero Electric II, giving the performance cleat a full Experiment 626 makeover. Made for the annual 626 Day celebration, the collaboration releases June 26, 2026 for $130.

A Bright Royal base sets the tone, joined by Cloud White detailing and light blue laces. adidas went beyond a standard character print by adding hairy suede and chenille finishes across the upper, textures chosen to mirror Stitch’s fuzzy blue appearance.

Purple lines the interior as a reference to the character’s ears, while different Stitch graphics are worked into the forefoot, tongue, and heel. The artwork adds personality without covering up the streamlined shape of the Adizero Electric II.

The cleat’s “Family” lettering draws from the idea of “ohana,” a central part of the original Lilo & Stitch story. It is a small detail, but one that connects the design to the film instead of treating Stitch as little more than a color palette.

Disney introduced Experiment 626 in Lilo & Stitch on June 21, 2002. The character has remained one of the company’s most recognizable animated figures, and the June 26 release date plays directly off his 626 designation.

The Disney x adidas Adizero Electric II “Stitch” releases June 26, 2026, through adidas.com and select retailers. The Bright Royal, Cloud White, and Cloud White football cleat will retail for $130.

Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Draft Day” Pack Releases June 26th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is revisiting Kobe Bryant’s 1996 draft night with a blind-box Kobe 4 Protro release tied to every team that passed on him. The “Draft Day” Pack launches June 26, 2026, for $200, and buyers will not know which pair they received until the package is opened.

There are 14 possible colorways. Thirteen represent the teams that selected another player before Kobe, while the rare Lakers version points to where his career eventually landed.

Most pairs start with a mostly white upper that wears away to reveal team colors underneath. The effect gives each shoe a second look over time instead of showing the full colorway straight out of the box. Nike also added draft-lottery graphics to the insoles, with ping-pong balls marked by the team’s corresponding pick number.

Small details on the upper hint at what is hiding below. The outlined Swooshes and Kobe logos use different accent colors depending on the team, so the pairs are not completely identical before the tear-away layer changes.

The Lakers pair is handled differently. It comes fully dressed in gold and purple, with no white covering to remove, plus a graphic outsole that separates it from the rest of the pack. Its reported pull rate is only 4%, making it the toughest pair to land. The other outcomes range from 6.3% to 8%.

Nike is also expanding the story beyond the Kobe 4. A Dunk Low “Charlotte to LA” features a wear-away Swoosh that shifts from teal to gold, referencing the draft-night trade that sent Kobe’s rights from Charlotte to Los Angeles. Grade-school releases include the Lakers pair and a White, Fuchsia Glow, and Glacier Blue colorway. Kobe apparel and a Lakers No. 8 Icon Edition jersey are part of the rollout as well.

The Nike Kobe 4 Protro “Draft Day” Pack releases June 26, 2026, through Nike SNKRS and participating retailers for $200 per blind box.

Air Jordan 9 “Super Freak” Releases February 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Randy Moss’ Minnesota Vikings Air Jordan 9 PE is finally getting a retail release. The upcoming Air Jordan 9 “Super Freak” brings back the White, Purple, and Gold look tied to one of Moss’ most memorable Jordan player exclusives from the early 2000s.

White leather makes up most of the upper, with Purple patent leather wrapping the mudguard and heel. Gold shows up on the lining, pull tabs, and smaller branding details, giving the shoe the same Vikings feel as the original. “Super Freak” is stitched across the tongue, calling back to the nickname Moss carried throughout his career.

The pair Moss wore on the field was not a standard Air Jordan 9. His version was rebuilt for turf and featured a different midsole and outsole setup, along with his No. 84 on the heels. The retail edition is expected to use the regular Air Jordan 9 tooling instead, so this is more of a tribute to the PE than a full recreation.

One detail still has not been cleared up. Early mock-ups show No. 23 embroidery on the heels, but Jordan Brand has not confirmed whether Moss’ No. 84 will appear on the final release. The colorway and tongue branding already make the connection obvious, though the original number would bring it even closer to the pair he actually wore.

The release fits into Jordan Brand’s recent habit of revisiting old athlete PEs and football stories from its archive. Moss’ pair carries a little more weight because it was built for the field, not the court, and stayed out of reach for most collectors for more than two decades.

Air Jordan 8 Super Freak Release Date

The Air Jordan 9 “Super Freak” is expected to release February 13, 2027, one day before Super Bowl Sunday. Look for the pair in men’s sizing through Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers for $215.
