Nike Virgil Abloh Archive “The Codes” Exhibition in Paris Opens September 30th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 9/25/25: Presented by Chloe and Mahfuz Sultan, “Virgil Abloh: The Codes” is an extension of the exhibition originally presented in Miami in 2022 and is now on view at Grand Palais, Paris from September 30th (Virgil’s birthday) to October 9th. The exhibition will be on display in Galleries 2.2 and 2.3, from 10 a.m. to 7: 30 p.m. every day, except for an early closing on Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. and a late closing on Oct. 3 until 10 p.m. Tickets are €15 (full price) and €7 (reduced price, 19-26 years old). Children of 18 and under can enter the exhibition for free. Tickets are available online and at the Grand Palais box office.

Original Story 9/8/25:
Nike Virgil Abloh Archive is making a homecoming in Paris this fall for “The Codes,” which opens September 30.

Few designers have left the impression on fashion and sneakers quite like Virgil Abloh. Since his passing in 2021, there’s a certain sense of incompletion when it comes to the projects left behind. But his signature style remains influential. To highlight Abloh’s work, Nike and the Virgil Abloh Archive have curated a major exhibition in Paris, allowing the late designer’s creativity to be showcased through never-before-seen pieces and rare samples.

“The Codes” will run from September 30 to October 10. The highlight of the show is the exhibition of Abloh’s signature Nike work, but the Nike Virgil Abloh Archive has prepared a range of experiential pieces including workshops, live performances, and screenings for visitors. The goal is to not only celebrate Abloh’s work but to use the cultural context to make it relevant to new audiences. His ability to bridge creativity with access is what made Abloh a cultural influencer in the first place.

Ahead of the show, GQ got a preview of what to expect. Some of the highlights include Air Force 1 prototypes that were never before seen in public. On display will be Louis Vuitton AF1s with embossed monograms, butter slides with Y2K finishes, and over-scale Swooshes in metallic. Abloh’s playful take on sneakers extends to some of the early ISPA-inspired mids and MCA/overlace pairs. Here, the influence is even more exaggerated, giving an idea of the path those iterations could have gone down. Most exciting for sneakerheads are the pair of Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Canary” colorways. The sneakers were rumoured for some time, but never actually made a debut. Seeing them here will be a huge topic of discussion, at least among sneakerheads. Those details will be what people remember.

The Nike Virgil Abloh Archive “The Codes” opens on September 30 in Paris and runs through October 10.

adidas Home Alone Grand Court Celebrates Film’s 35th Anniversary

By
Mario Briguglio

Home Alone turns 35 years old in 2025, and adidas is celebrating with a new colorway of the Grand Court. Following the Forum Lo from 2021 and 2022, this new collaboration from adidas continues to capture the holiday movie magic of Kevin McCallister’s battle with the Wet Bandits.

This version is especially inspired by Kevin’s signature booby traps. Tar marks dripping down the Three Stripes, a clothing iron graphic on the heel, and prints from a fire extinguisher on the insoles give off subtle hints. While the Home Alone logo is placed by the heel, pops of red tongue graphics also bring character to the shoe. Otherwise, the clean design of the Grand Court keeps the colorway versatile, with an off-white leather base, black stripes accented by red stitching, and bright red lining. The gum sole also gives off vintage vibes and gives the Grand Court silhouette a refreshed feel while also keeping the shoe on the more affordable side compared to other, more hyped releases like the Superstar. It’s that nostalgia and accessibility that makes this release stand out.

The Home Alone x adidas Grand Court will be released in October 2025 and will be available in adult, kids, and little kids sizing at adidas.com and select retailers.

UP THERE Brings Olive Tones To The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UP THERE collaborates with ASICS for the second time to create a clean, modern version of the GEL-KAYANO 12.1.

Grey mesh is punctuated with reflective olive patent leather overlays, the result being a more minimalist aesthetic that’s still super wearable.

Branded elements from the collaboration include a backwards “UP THERE” label on the heel, along with vibrant green co-branded insoles. A splash of red is found on the tongue and outsole as well, a detail that offsets the otherwise earthy color palette and plays well with the stability-focused sole. It’s that perfect level of subtlety in the details that sneaker enthusiasts will appreciate.

Although the GEL-KAYANO silhouette is technically derived, this iteration is more of a lifestyle model. The heavy use of green especially mirrors the visual identity of UP THERE, giving the model a more personalized touch.

The UP THERE x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 will release in Fall 2025 at ASICS.com and select retailers worldwide.

By

adidas Originals is honoring Los Angeles with a special release of the adidas Superstar II “Los Angeles”, created with renowned sneaker creator Qias Omar and SoCal boutique Private Sneakers. The project reimagines the classic silhouette while celebrating LA’s layered street culture.

The shoe sports a worn black upper with peeling white leather stripes. Tag-inspired insoles, palm tree pins, star-printed laces and a vintage tongue label bring the city’s artistic culture to life.

Anthony Davis Previews Nike LeBron 23 “Triple Black”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Anthony Davis was recently spotted wearing the Nike LeBron 23 “Triple Black” during a Dallas Mavericks practice session. The sighting shows AD’s loyalty to LeBron James’ signature line, even after his departure from the Lakers.

The LeBron 23 will reportedly drop in 23 colorways, with each colorway referencing a moment in James’ career. That being said, this all-black edition likely won’t be in the storytelling pack. It’s more similar to the colorless pair that debuted earlier this summer. Sneakerheads know that black-on-black shoes are usually the ones to go all “cult,” as with the Jordan 4 “Black Cat.”

Davis has worn LeBron models throughout his career, from last season to the Lakers’ 2020 championship run in the Orlando bubble. His continued gravitation towards LeBrons with the Mavericks only cements how tied he remains to King’s footwear legacy. That detail sneakerheads will love most.

Although there is no confirmed release date yet, the Nike LeBron 23 “Triple Black” is likely to be a popular on-court and everyday sneaker.

By
Mason Tiniuc

This Jordan Legacy 312 Low is a Travis Scott-inspired colorway. Earth tones, dark contrasts, and nuanced accents reminiscent of the shade-rich color palettes from La Flame’s most coveted Nike collaborations.

Textured tumbled leather and durable fabric lace up the sneaker on a foundation of black. Shadowy brown overlays add depth to the upper with khaki Swooshes stitched to accentuate the side panels. Olive strap across the vamp adds a seasonal pop, tying the neutral-toned palette together classically.

A black Nike Air midsole is a practical proposition underfoot for everyday comfort, while its understated design lets the tonal contrasts pop. A small detail sneakerheads will appreciate—the muted balance that’s become a hallmark of Scott’s Jordan releases.

Shop the Jordan Legacy 312 Low “Black/Baroque Brown” this Fall 2025 at Nike.com and at select retailers.

This pair mixes value with style, while honoring design cues tied to Travis Scott.

Mario Briguglio

UPDATE 9/24/25: The Infinite Archives Air Jordan 17 Low is officially dropping in October 2025. Infinite Archives has now opened a Draw raffle for the release. [Enter the Infinite Archives raffle here].

Original Story 8/12/25:
The Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” has finally been revealed in its retail-ready form after months of speculation. A pair of early leaks from earlier this year have since been proven to be unreleased samples that were altered from the official release, while this release fits with the anime-inspired marketing that Infinite Archives has teased out thus far, and builds the shoe’s visual language to a larger, bolder story.

Infinite Archives’ take on the AJ17 Low was influenced by the original model as well as Mike Bibby player exclusives, with the most notable feature being its multi-color outsole. The sneaker also features smooth leather toe caps, tumbled leather on the side panels, and perforated black leather on the tongue and collar. Its most defining feature is its translucent TPU midfoot cage that exposes the blow-molded Air unit, as well as a color-shifting heel clip.

The “Beach” colorway combines cream and black tones for a look that is both classic and striking. Metallic “IA” and “23” badges, embroidered Jumpman logos, and “PEEL OFF” markings on the holographic heel strip continue the AJ17’s unique design language.

Infinite Archives Air Jordan 17 Low Beach Release Date

The Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” releases October 17, 2025 through Infinite Archives, select retailers, and Nike.com at a retail price of $255 USD.
