Kith Chicago Flagship Opens On Magnificent Mile With ASICS World’s Fair Drop

Kith has debuted its first Chicago flagship, opening its doors on the Magnificent Mile. The two-story store was designed by Porto Architecture and features Belatrix Stone, brass frame, walnut and marble.

The first level is a darker, elegant backdrop for men’s clothing, sneakers and lifestyle items. Kith Men’s collection lives on the ground level, while the second floor is illuminated with lighter tones in an area that highlights Kith Women, Kids and accessories. The space also includes a helix chandelier, marble accents and oak elements. Kith Treats, which recently opened its own in-store bakery for desserts, is also a feature of the new flagship.

An apparel capsule collection from Kith and ’47 dropped on the opening, featuring artwork inspired by Chicago. Ronnie Fieg has also collaborated with ASICS for a collection dubbed “World’s Fair” which pays homage to Chicago’s World’s Fair in 1933. Updated GEL-LYTE III sneakers, GEL-KAYANO 12.1 pairs and new silhouettes are the stars of the drop.

The Ronnie Fieg for ASICS “World’s Fair” Collection will drop on October 6th, via Kith’s Monday Program. Exclusive to Kith Chicago will be a select number of pieces.

Bad Bunny Expands His adidas Line With Motorsport-Inspired Adiracer GT

Bad Bunny goes racing with adidas for Fall 2025. Following his basketball and running-inspired releases, the artist steps into new creative territory with the release of his first motorsport-inspired sneaker, the Bad Bunny x adidas Adiracer GT.

Not the most recognizable silhouette within the adidas archives, the Adiracer GT is most notably known for its affiliation with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team. While the subtle and monochromatic performance sneaker shares a similar color palette to Bunny’s previous releases, the suede, mesh, and refined overlays work together to recall a cross between performance racing footwear and cutting-edge luxury streetwear.

Graphic elements like co-branding details and splashes of vibrant color take a direct cue from Formula 1, setting the release apart from Bad Bunny’s earlier adidas collaborations.

The Bad Bunny x adidas Adiracer GT drops October 15, 2025 via adidas.com and select retailers for $160 USD.

Nike Air Max Plus Golf Drops in “Voltage Purple” and “Black/Metallic Silver”

UPDATE 10/1/25: Both Air Max Plus Golf shoes are available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/18/25:
The Nike Air Max Plus Golf is back for Fall 2025 and is available in two new colorways, “Voltage Purple” and “Black/Metallic Silver.”

Sporting a spike-less upper, it retains the streetwear sensation from Sean McDowell’s original silhouette, with some tweaks made for playability.

The updated model in both colorways features the same Tuned Air DNA as the original sneakers. However, the black variation makes the switch from mesh to a more premium leather construction. This could be a welcome change for golfers who need their shoes to stand up to a day on the course. Meanwhile, the bold “Total Orange” accents on the Swoosh and tongue pay homage to classic Nike style.

The outsole has been specifically tuned for traction on the fairway, while the responsive cushioning remains for all-day comfort.

The Nike Air Max Plus Golf “Voltage Purple” and “Black/Metallic Silver” drop October 1, 2025 and are retailing for $195 each via Nike.com and select retailers.

This Nike Air Max 90 Has A Croc Skin Mudguard

UPDATE 10/1/25: These Air Max 90s are now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 8/29/25:
The Nike Air Max 90 “Black Croc” is an elegant take on the retro runner.

Decorative croc-embossed leather sheathes the mudguard for an instant touch of luxury. Black tones carry through on the eyestays, heel badge, outsole, and midsole wedge for a clean finish.

Tumbled white leather on the toe box and collar breaks up the darkness of the upper. Neutral “Fossil” tones drape the quarter panel, while the Swoosh is a darker “Desert Khaki.” Creamy-toned “Sail” makes an appearance across the tongue, insoles, and premium leather tongue tag. That combination of neutral tones makes this sneaker design refined and versatile.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Black Croc” will launch October 1, 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers.

The Air Max 90 has gradually transitioned from a performance runner to a lifestyle silhouette over its years of releases. The next iteration is no exception, and it continues to give sneakerheads a low-key but confident option.

On the upper, a mix of beige mesh, tan and rust suede create a layered and cozy aesthetic. Burnt orange leather adorns the mudguard, with black trim on the lace tabs, tongue label and heel badge. White Swoosh and midsole wedge further break up the palette, with a black rubber outsole underneath.

In terms of materials, the upper is a mix of shaggy suede and ballistic mesh. As usual with the Air Max, a visible Air Max cushioning unit is visible in the heel.

Nike Air Monarch IV “Wheat” Now Available (October 2025)

UPDATE 10/1/25: The Nike Air Monarch 4 “Wheat” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 7/16/25:
Nike is dressing the Air Monarch IV in a bold new look this fall. The upcoming Nike Air Monarch IV “Wheat” transforms the reliable trainer into a seasonal staple built for cooler weather.

Ditching its usual leather build, this version arrives in full suede. The wheat upper is rich in texture and features tonal stitching, flat laces, and breathable mesh on the tongue. Subtle branding on the heel and tongue keeps the design focused on materials over flash. Embroidered Swooshes blend in cleanly with the tonal upper.

A matching midsole houses the signature full-length Air unit for support and comfort. Meanwhile, the gum rubber outsole adds a subtle contrast and reliable grip. Utility-inspired pull tabs on the tongue and heel complete the boot-like finish.

The suede and gum combo feels more elevated than past general releases, and it fits right in with today’s love for tonal, retro silhouettes. This isn’t just a dad shoe anymore, it’s a legitimate fall rotation option.

The Nike Air Monarch IV “Wheat” releases October 1, 2025 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

While the Monarch has long been known as a go-to for comfort and practicality, this version leans into lifestyle appeal.

Nike Ja 3 “Mink Brown” Releases October 2025

UPDATE 10/1/25: Official photos of the Nike Ja 3 “Mink Brown” have been added below. A release date is set for October 15th, 2025.

Original Story 7/25/25:
Nike is keeping Ja Morant’s third signature silhouette rolling with a spruced-up new colorway—the Nike Ja 3 “Mink Brown”. This new take on the Ja 3 opts for a more subdued color palette than previous releases.

The upper sports two tones of mink brown while each side of the shoe is accented by Pink Foam Swooshes. The latest pair is definitely a step back from the more flamboyant Ja 3 colorways like “NY vs. NY” or “Turbo Green”. Instead, it plays things in a more muted fashion. Signature visual elements still pepper the design though. Claw marks are scattered across the upper, while “TWELVE” is embroidered on the heel.

ZoomX foam makes a return underfoot to anchor the Ja 3’s performance aspects. The ZoomX foam provides both a lightweight cushion and responsiveness needed by fast-breaking guards. On the ground, the jagged outsole tread provides a secure grip for all-around court movement.

The Mink Brown colorway eschews heavy narrative in favor of a more neutral tone on tone design. It’s a nice change of pace, and makes for a very approachable look for all types of hoopers. The muted soft pink complements the mocha tones and makes for an almost Neapolitan-style color palette. It may be one of the more wearable of the Ja 3 series, to date.

Nike Ja 3 Mink Brown Release Date

The Nike Ja 3 “Mink Brown” will drop on October 15, 2025 at select Nike Basketball retailers and at Nike.com. Retail price is set at $135 USD.

Nike Air Force 1 Suitcases: Sneaker-Inspired Luggage For Travelers

Travel bags get a touch of Bruce Kilgore with Nike Air Force 1 Suitcases.

The airplane that the AF1 sneaker takes its name from is none other than the U.S. President’s Air Force One. As such, the sneaker’s legacy has found a second lease of life on wheels. Check the shoe’s radial outsole pattern on the undersurface of the bag. On the other side, there’s a solid-color Swoosh branded into the hardshell’s face.

The inside of the luggage is just as packed. In addition to two primary sections, there are smaller zipper pockets. Nylon liner fabric offers a bit of personality, too. Just don’t trip over “Thank you for flying Nike Air” printed on the inside of the lid. It’s a wink to the cushioning unit in the sneaker that first launched back in 1982. The Air Max came later and made visible the tech. But the Air Force 1 gave it staying power.

A sticker sheet includes the same radial pattern as the sole. It also features “Fly Nike!” branding. Sizes and colors have been confirmed for 22-inch and 29-inch bags, with a third size anticipated, as well.

The Nike Hardshell Suitcase will release Holiday 2025 through Nike.com and select retailers.

LEGO x Nike Dunk Low “Galaxy” Releases October 2025

LEGO and Nike team up for another Dunk, this time with the LEGO x Nike Dunk Low “Galaxy” set for October 2025. It is another release in the “Brave Blue” collection, which previously included the GT Cut 3, this time it brings that star theme off the court.

The “Galaxy” Dunk Low features a white leather upper with galaxy-printed overlays that are studded with LEGO brick and Swoosh-shaped constellations. A bright LEGO-branded tag on the tongue adds an extra pop of color, as well as the translucent icy blue soles, and a limited-edition hangtag. The shoebox itself even transforms into a six-compartment LEGO brick box, just in case you collect more than the shoes themselves.

LEGO and Nike first started their partnership in 2024 and released a series of collabs with basketball sets, Air Max DNs, and even some Dunk Low silhouettes. The release of the “Galaxy” colorway feels like an obvious play in both its vibrant tones as well as its narrative-driven nature, though it’s the tiniest of details that will stick with sneakerheads. Sure, it’s a children’s shoe, but it’s just cool enough to want.

The LEGO x Nike Dunk Low “Galaxy” is releasing on October 25, 2025, in grade school (GS) and pre-school (PS) sizing and will retail for $125 USD and $105 USD, respectively at select retailers and Nike.com.

Nike Vomero Premium Brings A Strong Contrast Between Black and Volt

Nike will be launching the Vomero Premium “Black/Volt” Fall 2025. This model mashes up strong looks and practical running tech in a serious way.

Bold black mesh uppers are accented with oversized “RUN” graphics at the midfoot, while Volt accents pop across the exposed Air Zoom units. Sleek reflective details help wrap up the look in a balance of style and function.

The Vomero Premium similarly layers ZoomX foam with full-length Air Zoom cushioning as seen on the Alphafly.

The New Balance 2002R “Protection” Pack Returns With Some New Colorways

The New Balance 2002R “Protection” Pack is making a clean comeback this Fall 2025 in three monochrome colorways.

Launching in “White,” “Black,” and “Shipyard,” the collection’s focused shadeways keep the focus on the model’s frayed suede overlays and breathable mesh base for the rugged yet refined design that made the series so popular in the first place.

Each colorway also reiterates the raw-edge look that made the Protection Pack stand out. The effect gives the silhouette a layered, punk-meets-preppy feel, but is toned down enough to remain streetwear ready. The muted colorways are subtle enough that they will pair well with a number of fits. That stripped-back approach is also what makes the reissue feel so timeless, which is why the 2002R can still resonate with sneaker culture.
