Nike’s Newest ACG Ultrafly Trail Runner Debuts Spring 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike ACG Ultrafly (trail running shoe) will release in Spring 2026. Created for off-road enthusiasts, Nike’s most innovative trail model to date launches after more than two years of field testing. Over 30,000+ miles of validation across seven countries and 25 states helped refine the ultra-responsive performance.

The ACG Ultrafly melds Nike’s racing technology with ACG’s trail acumen. The ZoomX midsole and carbon fiber FlyPlate give lightweight propulsion and precision handling, while a Vibram Litebase outsole provides nimble grip on technical surfaces. It’s a formula that aims to give trail runners agility and confidence on uneven terrain.

The upper design features a trail-specific last and mesh construction for breathability and better drainage. That upgrades with longer distance comfort, as ACG athletes like Western States Endurance Run champ Caleb Olson tested prototypes in high-stakes races. Nike ACG footwear director says every aspect from fit to grip was directly influenced by athletes in the field. It’s that real-world authenticity trail runners will feel the moment they lace up.

Its debut “Safety Orange” colorway highlights ACG’s fearless style DNA, with a performance-minded low-cut design. Built for climbs, descents and stream crossings, the Ultrafly is another step in Nike’s mission to reinvent performance footwear on and off the beaten path.

The Nike ACG Ultrafly will be available Spring 2026 at Nike.com and select retailers.

Aminé x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” Releases October 4th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Aminé x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” is another story-driven collaboration between the Portland-based artist and the Boston-based shoe brand. From his Club Banana collective allusions to callouts sprinkled throughout the pack, there’s a lot to digest on the details Aminé incorporated into his high-top. The shoe dons a blend of fluorescent greens as it weaves in several colorful references for sneakerheads to discover.

The design features mesh overlays with faux-leather glints, neon accents, and glowing lime green for visual interest. From the branding to the sole pods and slashes on the overlay, a self-glowing feature adds character to the shoe. Simply based on that design alone, the Amine x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” will turn heads. Custom co-branding can be found on the tongue, while library callouts like “Return Your Books on Time” provide cheekiness. The heel even sports a handwritten inspired “Club Banana” that grounds the collab in Aminé’s world.

Book depository inspired boxes round out the creative touches and extend on the “Biblioteca” nod. Portland locals who attended the local activation were even able to bring in a book for donation and get a free pair of the sneaker in return after sending proof of the exchange to Aminé, who supports and encourages these kinds of acts in the community.

Amine New Balance 2000 Release Date

The Aminé x New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” will drop on October 4, 2025. Pairs will be up for grabs online at clubbanana.com, and sign-ups for updates have already begun.

With Aminé’s previous releases being a strong indication of sellout velocity, it is safe to say this one will fly off the shelves as well.

Vanessa Bryant Reveals Nike Kobe 3 Protro “Halo Diamond” Swarovski PE

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike released the Kobe 3 Protro “Halo Diamond” Swarovski PE during August’s Mamba League Invitational, the latest special moment in an incredible run for Kobe Bryant’s legacy. As one of the rarest Kobe sneakers in history, it glistens with 5,575 Swarovski crystals across the upper.

Vanessa Bryant and Nike Basketball presented the pair during a moment full of meaning to Kobe’s legacy and the design’s namesake, diamonds. In part, this is because of the Kobe 3’s diamond-patterned cage and Zoom Air cushioning, but the shape also matches Natalia Bryant’s middle name, “Diamante.” While that symbolism instantly made family an invaluable aspect of this drop, the halo connects Kobe’s legacy to the future of athletes.

Though the halo packs special details of its own, including translucent Zoom Airs and a nameplate with “The Black Mamba” script, the Swarovski crystals are the first detail noticed by sneaker enthusiasts.

While it’s one of the rarest Kobe 3s in history, the “Halo Diamond” version will never make it to retail. In fact, it’s emblematic of how Nike Basketball is keeping Kobe Bryant’s memory alive through performance releases and storytelling.

Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro Debuts in 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro is an entirely new silhouette for the Kobe line, debuting the first-ever Kobe 3 in a low-cut version. The hype machine started churning with “Halo” and “Christmas” colorways, but this is the debut that dramatically shifts the Kobe 3 silhouette in a new direction.

The change was a long time coming, as Kobe Bryant and Eric Avar wanted to lower the Kobe to a height that was more performance-friendly. That was the design philosophy that first made its way onto the Kobe 4, and it helped create one of the most legendary runs in Black Mamba history. Nike has kept the same diamond-patterned cage, split toe-cap, and high-performance sole unit with the Kobe 3 Low Protro but tweaked the collar to feature a more modern low-profile cut. That difference is what distinguishes it so far from the original Kobe 3 mid-top.

Sneakerheads will recognize it for how true it stays to the Kobe 3’s DNA, while also providing something different from the original. The all-white “Halo” colorway only helps to push that point, giving it a future-forward aesthetic that places performance as a priority but also makes it a lifestyle shoe. That’s the most important detail Kobe fans will notice immediately.

Nike Kobe 3 Low Release Date

The Nike Kobe 3 Low Protro “Halo” will make its official debut in 2026, as announced by Nike Basketball in a release shared with Vanessa Bryant. The shoe is on course to be one of the biggest Kobe retros to date.

Nike ACG Izy Appears in Reflective Material

By

Nike’s Outdoor-Inspired ACG Izy is returning for Fall, with a “Reflective” version giving it an on-the-go lifestyle feel. Slip-on but rugged Izy has been a consistent release in Nike’s All Conditions Gear (ACG) collections for some time.

In subdued mauve, this release comes with an all-over geometric pattern that pops under light with reflective accents. The zippered closure means the Izy is as easy to wear as it is to slip on, and securely fits in place. Small ACG branding at the tongue and a discreet Swoosh on the midsole provide low-key branding, while speckled black midsoles and a sticky, durable traction outsole provide traction on different surfaces.

Purple insoles with ACG logos pack on a contrasting dose of personality, as do heel pull-tabs that add to the shoes ease-of-entry. The reflective coating also increases visibility at night and packs on a dose of playful edge, too.

The Nike ACG Izy “Reflective” will drop Fall 2025 through Nike.com and select retailers.

The adidas Superstar Goes Full Denim

By

The adidas Superstar 82 is back this Fall in a new “Denim” Pack. The two colorways are a pair of a brazen reimaginations of the classic silhouette.

The first of the two colorways plays on a much more grungy appeal. The washed black denim upper features light grey fading for dimension. In contrast to stitching, the Three Stripes are embossed for a sleeker finish. Black laces, shell toe, and sole conclude the overall stealthy aesthetic.

On the other hand, the second pair’s version is a brighter take with its blue denim panels. White detailing make an appearance on the liner, laces, shell toe, and outsole. The result of the contrast is a much cleaner and vintage-inspired appeal, while still tipping the hat at heritage and breathing new life into the look.

As for the foundation, both sneakers sit on the Superstar 82 platform, a layout that is based on the Made in France original.

The adidas Superstar “Denim” Pack will launch Fall 2025 at adidas.com and at select retailers.

Overall, these updates are adidas-meets-modern with twists that sneakerheads are sure to love.

Sneaker Talk: Air Jordan Fusion 4 Premier “White Laser”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan Fusion 4 Premier “White Laser” was released in 2010, as part of the Fusion series by Jordan Brand, which saw a cross between the Air Jordan 4 and Nike Air Force 1. The sneaker was released a month after the “Black Laser” Fusion 4, which had its own take on the colorway scheme.

The white laser-etched leather upper was styled with overlapping patterned accents throughout, before being overlapped with the Jordan 4 signature mesh netting upper and the wing tabs. This was accented by red tones on the Jumpman logo, lace eyelets, and inner lining. A translucent Air Force 1 midsole with visible Air unit was added, as well as a red outsole with traction channels.

While Jordan Brand has never restocked the Fusion 4 Premier “Laser” colorways, the Fusion 4 has been used as a talking point by enthusiasts who were a fan of the wackier Jordan Brand releases. This is still the info that sneakerheads are obsessing over today.

The Air Jordan Fusion 4 Premier “White Laser” can be found on the resell market in limited quantities on StockX and elsewhere.

Original Story 8/11/25:
Ronnie Fieg has reissued his first ever adidas collaboration from 2008 with the Kith x adidas Superstar “Black Tie 2.0”. While the original design was conceived to be worn with a suit, the 2025 version shares the same formal spirit but with 17 years of design evolution.

Anthony Edwards Debuts CLOT x adidas AE 1 Low “Believe That Tour” PE

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 8/23/25: During Anthony Edwards’ first-ever China tour, the “Believe That. Tour” (Aug 21-28, 2025), he debuted the CLOT x adidas AE 1 Low “Believe That. Tour” PE. He also revealed the “Blue Flame” edition, confirmed as a Friends & Family exclusive.

This Anthony Edwards 1 Low will not release to the public, but fans in China have a rare chance to secure pairs. Edison Chen confirmed its showcase at MOJOFEST in Shanghai, running August 22–24. Meanwhile, JUICE STORE Causeway Bay in Hong Kong will host an arcade basketball challenge from August 26–31, where winners can claim this exclusive CLOT x adidas AE 1 Low colorway.

Original Story 8/1/25:
CLOT founder Edison Chen is back with a new chapter in the brand’s long relationship with adidas, and this time it’s on the court. The upcoming collaboration with the German brand will focus on Anthony Edwards’ AE 1 Low and serves as the first foray into the adidas Basketball division for CLOT under the resurgent partnership between the two.

This comes in the form of a vibrant blue flame insole print spanning both shoe footbeds with a CLOT and Edwards’ AE logo stamp respectively. While the past few CLOT x adidas collections have favored lifestyle offerings, this turn to high-performance basketball-specific footwear is right in line with Edwards quickly establishing himself as one of the NBA’s most exciting young scorers.

Furthermore, this seems to be a well-timed introduction given that the AE 1’s current retail lifespan is nearing its close and this high-profile collaboration thus provides a fitting showcase on the last edition of the AE before the AE 2 takes over. Chen has been spotted in courtside Timberwolves games donning pairs of AE 1’s, while Edwards has been spotted in colorways of unreleased CLOT x adidas sneakers of his own, only building hype more.

A firm release date for the CLOT x adidas AE 1 Low hasn’t been given yet as only a few teases and early on-foot shots have been released, but we’ll have more on the drop soon.
