Official Photos of the Air Jordan 3 “Laser”

Jordan Brand is revisiting one of its most recognizable mid-2000s design techniques with the upcoming Air Jordan 3 “Laser” edition. The pair brings Mark Smith’s detailed laser-etching work to the model, filling the upper with artwork tied to Michael Jordan’s life and career.

The design reflects the many influences behind a global icon, using layered graphics that reveal new details with every closer look.

Jayson Tatum revealed the shoe during a Jordan Brand summer tour stop in London. Its off-white leather upper is covered in small references, including the “M AIR J” license plate from Jordan’s black Ferrari 512 TR. He was often seen driving the car during the Chicago Bulls’ championship run in the early 1990s.

Another detail reads “Sandy Bros.,” a nod to Nike twins Eric and Chad Sandy, who have both worked closely with Jordan Brand. Their names also appeared on the receipt included with the “Lost and Found” Air Jordan 1. Other etched graphics include a golf cart and the familiar “23” gate from Jordan’s former estate near Chicago.

Brown suede wraps the toe and heel, while metallic silver eyelets add contrast around the lacing system. Nike Air branding finishes the back of the shoe.

Laser detailing has appeared on the Air Jordan 3 before, though not as a general release. Jordan Brand created a one-of-one version for Michael Jordan’s 40th birthday in 2003, and that rare player-exclusive pair appears to have influenced this release.

The project also arrives as Jordan Brand prepares to revisit the wider Laser era. Both the black and white versions of the original 2005 Air Jordan 4 “Laser” are expected to return in 2027.

Air Jordan 3 Laser 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Laser” is scheduled to release August 22nd through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. The retail price is set at $230. Check out the official photos below.

Air Jordan August 2026 Release Dates

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Jordan Brand will wrap up its Summer 2026 schedule in August before shifting attention to the fall season. The month brings back several familiar retros while also introducing a handful of new releases and collaborations.

The month kicks off with the “Love Letter” Air Jordan 1 High OG that pays homage to Michael Jordan’s open letter to basketball for his final retirement in 2003 that closed the book on his NBA career for good. Releasing on the same day is the return of the “Flint” Air Jordan 13s, which first debuted back in 1998.

A few days later, Jordan Brand will be releasing their latest entry in the Wings series with a special edition Air Jordan 13 that comes with a tear-away upper. Also during the same week, the “Oreo” Air Jordan 6 is set for another retro return.

August will also include a new women’s Air Jordan 3 and the debut of Free The Youth’s Air Jordan 16 collaboration. The Ghana-based brand drew from the country’s culture and its national bird, the tawny eagle, when developing the project.

Two “Laser” releases are scheduled as well, covering the Air Jordan 1 Low OG and Air Jordan 3. Both pairs connect back to Mark Smith’s detailed laser-etching work, with artwork across the uppers referencing different parts of Michael Jordan’s life and career.

Closing out the month is the Air Jordan 8 “Chrome,” which is scheduled to make another retro return.

New Balance 204V Debuts With A Velcro Strap and Three Pastel Colorways

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The New Balance 204V reworks the 204L with a wide Velcro strap in place of the usual tongue and laces. It crosses over the top of the foot and reaches toward the lateral side, leaving more of the forefoot exposed than the original model. New Balance also adjusted the toe overlays around the new closure so the strap feels built into the design rather than added on afterward.

Most of the 204L shape is still there. The upper keeps its mesh base, layered leather and suede panels, and slim tech-runner profile. One of the quieter changes comes on the medial side, where the familiar “N” logo has been removed. That gives the shoe a simpler look without changing much of what made the 204L recognizable.

Three pastel colorways will arrive first: Bayberry/Lone Star-Grey, Turtledove/Timberwolf, and Light Arctic Grey/Heron Blue. Each version uses the same mixed-material construction and low-profile sole.

The New Balance 204V will launch August 2026 retailing for $120 a pair. They will be available at NewBalance.com.

JJJJound x PUMA Mostro “Black/White” Keeps It Minimal

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

JJJJound is back on the PUMA Mostro, this time keeping the color palette about as simple as possible. The “Black/White” edition pairs a dark suede upper with a single off-white Formstrip running along each side.

Most of the shoe stays black, including the leather tongue, elastic straps, and sharply textured rubber sole. Instead of standard laces, two wide bands cross the foot and hook through small metal loops, preserving one of the Mostro’s most recognizable details. Off-white leather around the collar adds another light break without changing the overall look.

Branding is limited. JJJJound appears on the insoles, while a faint debossed mark sits across the suede heel tabs. Nothing else competes with the Mostro’s low shape or the outsole, which wraps upward around the toe, sides, and heel with rows of raised rubber spikes.

The JJJJound x PUMA Mostro “Black/White” will release in person at Porter Tokyo on August 1, 2026. A raffle for customers in Japan is open ahead of the launch.

Saucony Progrid V2 Mule Debuts in Two Colorways

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Saucony is taking the Progrid V2 in a different direction with a new mule version based on the 2011 runner. The heel is gone, but the front half still carries the same low-profile shape and chunky Progrid tooling seen on the recently revived lifestyle model.

The usual leather paneling has been swapped for suede, including the large overlays running along the sides and forefoot. A stretch neoprene section replaces the standard tongue and laces, giving the shoe a simple slip-on fit. Most of the original structure remains visible, so it still reads as a Progrid V2 rather than a completely separate clog design.

“Trek/Black” pairs brown and taupe suede with black around the toe, collar, and sole. Small red V2 logos appear near the heel and tongue. “Triple Black” keeps the entire shoe dark, using slightly different black tones across the suede, neoprene, midsole, and outsole.

The Saucony Progrid V2 Mule releases August 1, 2026 in both “Triple Black” and “Trek/Black” colors for $140.

Lionel Messi’s adidas Handball Spezial Arriving in Black Suede

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Lionel Messi’s next adidas Handball Spezial keeps things simple with a black suede upper, silver branding, and small hits of red. The shape is unchanged, but the darker finish gives the terrace model a different look than his brighter releases.

Most of the upper is covered in black suede, from the toe through the side panels and tongue. Metallic Silver leather is used on the serrated Three Stripes, with a thin red layer showing around the edges. Messi branding appears beside the stripes, then returns on the tongue label and heel.

Smooth black leather wraps the collar and heel tab, adding some contrast against the suede. Red piping along the rear panel ties back to the trim under the stripes without becoming a major part of the colorway.

The shoe sits on a black midsole and matching rubber outsole. Patterned insoles with adidas and Messi branding finish the interior.

Droping this Fall 2026 via adidas.com and select retailers, the Messi x adidas Handball Spezial will cost you $120.

Tyler, The Creator Gives The Converse Pro Leather XL An All-Red Makeover

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Tyler, The Creator continues his collaboration with Converse with another take on the brand’s Pro Leather for the upcoming release. Instead of re-releasing the old basketball shoe Tyler previously worked on, the duo decided to put a Tyler twist on this pair.

Red covers nearly the entire sneaker, including the upper, laces, lining, and sole. With the color blocking kept simple, most of the attention stays on the shape. The low-top profile is still recognizable, but the added size gives it a different look from the slimmer court model Converse introduced decades ago.

An embossed star near the toe breaks up the otherwise uniform finish. It is a small detail, though it connects back to the branding that has long been tied to the Pro Leather.

The Tyler, The Creator x Converse Pro Leather XL “Red” will release in Fall 2026 through Converse.com.

Nike SB Air Max 95 “Black/Varsity Maize” Releases Holiday 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The ripple effect from the Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 “Pine Green” continues to reach deeper into the Swoosh catalog. What began as a crossover between skateboarding and basketball has since opened the door for SB versions of the Air Force 1, Air Max CB94, and now the Air Max 95, with even more unexpected models reportedly being explored.

Pro skater and Palace team rider Kyle Wilson recently stepped out in the upcoming Nike SB Air Max 95 “Black/Varsity Maize”, giving us the clearest look at the pair so far.

Despite Wilson’s connection to Palace Skateboards, the shoe is not believed to be a collaboration with the London label. Instead, it is expected to arrive as a wider inline release dressed in Black, Varsity Maize, Stadium Green, Light Lemon Twist, Dutch Green, and Legion Pine.

Footage of Wilson skating in the pair shows a mostly black upper broken up by green and yellow across the Air Max 95s layered side panels. Those colors also appear through the visible stitching, while a translucent yellow jewel Swoosh adds another small hit near the collar. The darker base keeps the design understated, but the brighter accents still bring out the wavy paneling that defines the Air Max 95.

Nike SB has found plenty of room to experiment beyond its usual Dunk and Blazer lineup. With the Air Force 1 and Air Max CB94 also receiving crossover treatment, plus Foamposite rumors beginning to circulate, the Air Max 95 appears to be one more sign that nearly any Nike silhouette could be considered for an SB makeover.

The Nike SB Air Max 95 “Black/Varsity Maize” is expected to release during Holiday 2026 at select skate shops and Nike.com. The shoe will be available in men’s sizing for $190.

Drake and Kevin Durant Launch NOCTA Basketball Apparel Collection

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Years of friendship between Drake and Kevin Durant have finally led to a full NOCTA basketball collection with Nike. The project first surfaced in a commercial for the KD 19, but the finished lineup reaches beyond footwear with apparel tied to Durant’s background and “Easy Money” persona.

Several forest green pieces look back at Durant’s time at Montrose Christian School in Maryland. A fleece hoodie and lightweight basketball jersey use modified “Montrose Christian” lettering, removing most of the name while leaving N-O-C-T-A visible across the design.

Durant’s longtime nickname appears on a grey performance set that includes a long-sleeve base layer and matching shorts. Three dollar signs stretch across the chest, referencing both “Easy Money” and his @easymoneysniper Instagram handle.

An old photo from Durant’s early social media days gives the collection its most personal graphic. Taken from his 2003 Myspace profile, the image shows a young Durant holding cash while flashing a peace sign. It appears on a standard T-shirt and a sleeveless cutoff version.

Single-leg compression tights round out the basketball gear, with separate designs featuring either the left or right leg removed. No sneakers are included in this release, though a NOCTA x Nike KD 19 is expected to follow later in 2026.

The NOCTA x Kevin Durant x Nike Apparel Collection releases July 30, 2026, at 12 a.m. ET on the NOCTA website. A wider launch follows July 31 at select retailers, including Shoe Palace.

SATISFY x Levi’s STONER Collection Releases July 30th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

SATISFY and Levi’s are heading back to Yosemite for STONER, a new collection rooted in the climbing scene that took shape there during the 1970s. The project follows the brands’ 2024 release and again draws from the Stonemasters, a group of climbers known for tackling the region’s granite walls in worn Levi’s denim.

Real vintage Levi’s 501 jeans form the foundation of the collection rather than newly produced pairs. SATISFY sourced U.S.-made denim through its RE-POSSESSED program, then rebuilt each pair with a woven belt integrated into the waistband. Ripstop panels reinforce the knees and rear pocket, adding a technical layer without covering up the natural fading and wear already present in the denim.

Two versions of the 501 will be offered. One arrives in a heavily faded blue wash with pale sage overlays, while the second uses washed black denim with dark charcoal reinforcement panels. Because the jeans are made from vintage pairs, the finish and signs of wear may differ from one garment to another.

A Levi’s Western shirt also appears in the lineup with one traditional chest pocket replaced by SATISFY ripstop fabric. The MothTech T-Shirt uses organic cotton and features an illustration of Yosemite’s Half Dome, along with laser-cut holes placed throughout the shirt to create a naturally damaged, moth-eaten look.

SATISFY x Levi’s STONER collection will drop on Thursday, July 30, 2026 available online at SATISFY along with select stores in France.

Scarr’s Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low Sample Fuels Release Rumors

By
Mario Briguglio
-

One of the rarest Air Force 1 collaborations may be getting another chance at a wider release. New images have surfaced of an updated Scarr’s Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low Sample, bringing an old rumor back into the conversation after several quiet years.

The latest pair stays close to the friends-and-family version created in 2019, but the address on the tongue has been changed. Instead of “22 Orchard,” the new sample reads “35 Orchard,” matching the Lower East Side pizza shop’s current location following its move across the street in 2023.

Most of the original design remains untouched. Pebbled white leather covers the upper, while mismatched double-layer Swooshes give each side a different look. Scarr’s Pizza branding appears along the lateral side, and the custom graphics inside the shoe also return. Despite Nike recently bringing back the Air Force 1’s early-2000s shape, this sample appears to use the same standard ’07 construction as the original pair.

Talk of a possible release first picked up in 2024, though DJ Clark Kent, who helped create the first version, publicly pushed back on those reports. Speculation returned in May 2025 when Scarr Pimentel was spotted wearing an unreleased black colorway at the Complex Family Style Food Fest. The appearance of this updated white sample now gives the rumor another layer of credibility.

No release details have been announced for the Scarr’s Pizza x Nike Air Force 1 Low.

NikeSKIMS Rift Satin “Obsidian” Releases July 30th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

NikeSKIMS is moving further into footwear with an “Obsidian” edition of the Rift Satin, one of the first models shaping the partnership beyond apparel. The design pulls from the original Nike Rift but trims down the profile, giving the split-toe runner a softer, more streamlined look.

Deep navy covers nearly the entire shoe, though the finish changes from panel to panel. Mesh sections sit alongside smooth textiles and shinier overlays, which keeps the monochromatic colorway from blending together. The open midfoot and wide adjustable strap bring in a Mary Jane-like shape without losing the Rift’s athletic base.

Nike stays relatively low-key when it comes to branding. There’s the NikeSKIMS logo text and a petite Swoosh on the strap while the insoles and the box it comes with feature more branding. While segmented, the sole still hugs the ground and little traction pods are scattered across the bottom and extend to the toe and heel.

The NikeSKIMS Rift Satin “Obsidian” is scheduled to release July 30, 2026 through NikeSKIMS, Nike.com, and select retailers for $160.

Yeezy Slides Are Returning To Stores Through JD Sports

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Yeezy appears ready to make a real return to physical retail, with JD Sports expected to become the brand’s exclusive footwear partner. For an operation that has handled most recent launches on its own, the deal would bring a much larger store network and a more dependable way to get products into customers’ hands.

Talk around the partnership grew after the Yeezy Slide, also known as the YS-01, briefly showed up on the JD Sports release calendar with an August 13 date. The listing was later removed, but JD Sports is still expected to sell Yeezy footwear online and at select locations. It would be the brand’s first major step back into traditional stores since the adidas partnership came to an end.

Earlier orders placed directly through the brand’s website were often met with shipping delays and few updates along the way. Delivery appeared to improve with the more recent YS-02 launch, but an established retailer should offer better tracking, more consistent fulfillment, and the option to purchase pairs in person.

How large the rollout will be is still unclear, including the number of JD Sports stores expected to carry the shoes. Both online availability and a wider in-store release are believed to be part of the plan.

Yeezy Slides are expected to release through JD Sports in August 2026 for $44. Pairs should also continue to be sold through Yeezy’s website for $40.

Overkill Revives The adidas ZX8000 Made in France Colorway

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Overkill is digging into adidas’ ZX archive for a release tied to one of the model’s less common early colorways. The upcoming ZX8000 “France” recreates the 1991 Made in France edition with a build that stays close to the original.

White ribbed mesh covers most of the upper, while off-white suede wraps the toe, eyestays, and lower side panels. Black Three Stripes add contrast through the midfoot, with aqua blue appearing underneath the branding, around the collar, and across much of the midsole. Silver accents near the heel add another period-correct detail.

Bright neon green shows up in smaller doses on the Torsion lace dubrae and the visible Torsion unit underfoot. A molded heel counter, black rubber outsole, and traditional ZX8000 tooling complete the retro runner.

The Overkill x adidas ZX8000 “France” will first release in-store at Overkill Berlin and Overkill Cologne. The online raffle closes August 2, followed by a release of any remaining pairs on August 2, 2026, at 2 PM local time.

Nike LeBron Witness 9 “South Beach” Now Available (July 2026)

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Bronny James is taking the Nike LeBron Witness 9 back to Miami with a “South Beach” colorway that pulls directly from one of the best-known sneakers in his father’s signature line. The teal-and-pink setup traces back to the LeBron 8 “South Beach,” a shoe closely connected to LeBron James’ first years in Florida.

Aurora Green handles most of the upper, with hidden graphics worked into the material rather than placed on top. Pink mini Swooshes add the familiar contrast. White Old English “Bronny” lettering is stitched near the toe, his name is debossed on the left tongue, and the lowercase “b” logo appears at the heel.

The timing adds a little extra context, since LeBron is now headed to the Philadelphia 76ers while Bronny remains with the Los Angeles Lakers. Still, the shoe reads as a reference to LeBron’s Miami sneaker era, not a clue about where either player might end up next.

The Nike LeBron Witness 9 “South Beach” releases July 29, 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers for $115.

LaMelo Ball’s PUMA MB.06 “Puerto Rico” Gets An Island-Exclusive Release

By
Mario Briguglio
-

LaMelo Ball introduced the PUMA MB.06 himself, giving the shoe a proper first look before leaked pairs started making the rounds. The next model in his signature series was shown through PUMA’s social channels, with a Puerto Rico colorway leading the rollout.

Blue takes over most of the shoe, moving from pale shades near the tongue to deeper tones around the lower panels. The sole carries a mix of colors pulled from the Puerto Rican flag, while the overall look draws inspiration from the island’s water and coastline. The connection is clear without making every detail feel overly literal.

Rounded structures sit along both sides of the upper, and the outsole features a crossed traction pattern built for quick movement. LaMelo’s familiar “Rare” and “1 of 1” markings appear throughout, joined by a futuristic tongue graphic and Puerto Rican flag branding.

PUMA has now confirmed that the MB.06 “Puerto Rico” will be sold exclusively on the island. The launch begins Friday, July 31, 2026, during the “Jangueo en Bayamón” release event, where LaMelo Ball is scheduled to appear. Pairs will also be available at PUMA’s three other locations across Puerto Rico. Check out the latest campaign photos below.
