The Nike Air Max Plus “Hyper Pink/Volt” is a head-turner, boldly blending hot pink into neon volt.
Starting in hot pink at the toe and fading into a glowing volt tone by the heel, the mesh upper is layered with black TPU webbing overlays. These give Nike Air Max Plus its signature structural look while keeping the gradient on full display.
The design is anchored by a sleek black midsole. The tuned Air cushioning is here to stay, detailed with volt accents for a pop of contrast. Longtime fans will also appreciate classic hexagonal TN logos planted on the tongue and heel.
The Nike Air Max Plus “Hyper Pink/Volt” releases Fall 2025 for $190. You’ll find pairs on Nike.com and select retailers.
This colorway feels like a modern callback to the daring palettes that defined the model’s rise.
The Nike Total 90 III “Team Red” is has been revealed, and it includes a new glossy patent leather.
An indoor sneaker with a history of loud branding and futsal heritage returns with a blend of retro and modern details. That’s the subtle nuance old school fans will appreciate from the get go.
The upper is decked with stitched Team Red patent panels accented with crisp white Swooshes and the “90” circle logo. A pristine white midsole hovers above a gum outsole that features pivot points and herringbone traction patterns. Finish beneath with a Medium Brown touch for a retro nod.

One of adidas’ most iconic sneakers is getting a material makeover with the new adidas Italia “Ostrich Leather” edition.
First launched in the 1960s, the Italia has been synonymous with sharp lines and understated elegance for decades. This new iteration elevates the silhouette into luxury sneaker territory with high-end ostrich-effect leather, bringing with it a texture that sneakerheads will immediately spot.
Touches like the gold-foil “adidas Italia” stamp and vintage-style sole ensure the heritage runs deep. Cream laces stand out on the earthy tones, while a two-tone midsole adds balance with a retro touch. Meanwhile, the herringbone outsole takes inspiration from adidas’ training archives.
The adidas Italia “Ostrich Leather” releases on September 3rd through adidas.com and select retailers for $400.
The $400 price point is certainly a step up, but the quality and materials back up the bold price hike.
The Nike Killshot 2 Tiempo “Morse Code” takes an OG silhouette, dresses it up in premium leather and a little mystery detail sneakerheads will appreciate.
Nike picks up where the Cortez “Morse Code” left off, incorporating a sly little detail that uses Morse code to spell out “Nike” on the heel. That’s the sort of sneaker subtext only the most die-hard will pick up on.
If the Killshot 2 has always been a minimalist affair, this iteration elevates the essential silhouette, dressing it up in a Tiempo-inspired lace shroud, refined leather overlays and an embossed heel tab. The gum sole adds old school style and reliable grip. It’s a subtle blend of heritage sportswear and contemporary sneaker style.
The Nike Killshot 2 Tiempo “Morse Code” drops Fall 2025 for $120 at Nike.com and select retailers.
If you’re a fan of the Cortez version, this is probably your dream follow-up.
The New Balance 1906R “Primaloft” Pack is a warm upgrade for one of the brand’s most practical sneakers.
The entire pack ships with Primaloft, a synthetic insulation material commonly found in outdoor apparel, guaranteeing warmth and function this winter. That’s a well-timed addition sneakerheads will appreciate when they don’t have to sacrifice style for weather.
There are three classic colorways in the pack. The Dark Olive shoe is a utilitarian olive green fit for military use. Black/Silver Metallic is more stealthy with a futuristic edge, pairing a silver mesh tongue with an overall tonal black color palette. Castlerock is a shade away from black and plays into the muted grey 1906R has always leaned into with its industrial vibes.
Release Date & Where To Buy
New Balance will release the 1906R “Primaloft” Pack during Fall 2025 at NewBalance.com and select retailers. They will retail for $155 a pair.

Jalen Hurts steps out in the brand new Air Jordan 11 “Love Hurts” Cleats to open the 2025 NFL season in Lincoln Financial Field.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection and 2023 Super Bowl MVP unveiled a vivid Player Exclusive rendition of the Air Jordan 11 TD Cleats. Constructed in slick black patent leather, the pair were then stamped with a poignant inscription across the tongue stripe: “Love Hurts” in big red script along with the Jumpman logo. The subliminal personalization is what gave Hurts’ cleats a buzz, as sneakerheads followed his every step.
The Jordan Brand has always created Player Exclusives for its signature athletes, and Hurts has quickly established himself as one of the Jumpman’s leading figures on the field. From a story perspective, his 11s are one more example of how performance and design can work in perfect harmony. We’ve come to expect that from a Jordan sneaker.
With the entire season of football to play, expect plenty more exclusive pairs from Hurts as the year progresses.
UPDATE 9/4/25: Tom Sachs has just officially announced the Nike Mars Yard 3.0, the latest addition to his famed long-running partnership with Nike. The Mars Yard has been hailed as one of the most important sneaker designs of the 21st century, and this September, it’s back. A limited run of the Mars Yard 3.0 will be released September 5th through Sachs’ I.S.R.U. program, and then globally on September 13th.
Original Story:
Nike has confirmed the release of the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0, set for September 2025. This highly anticipated sneaker continues the Mars Yard series with fresh design updates. However, the collaboration has sparked mixed reactions due to past controversies surrounding Sachs.
The Mars Yard 3.0 features key performance enhancements for improved functionality. A TPU heel clip provides extra support, while a carbon fiber plate enhances stability. Nike React foam ensures superior comfort for all-day wear. The sneaker maintains its signature mesh and suede upper, complemented by a red nylon pull tab. A silkscreen-printed Swoosh adds to the exploration-inspired aesthetic. For durability, black rubber foxing reinforces the toe, and a red lace keeper refines the fit.
Nike’s decision to move forward with Sachs follows a pause in their partnership due to workplace misconduct allegations. In September 2023, Nike resumed collaboration, but the sneaker community remains divided. While some eagerly await the latest installment, others distance themselves from the brand association.
Tom Sachs Nike Mars Yard 3.0 Release Date
The Nike Mars Yard 3.0 will release on September 13, 2025 at select Nike retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $275 USD.

UPDATE 7/7/25: Nike and Tom Sachs have officially resumed their partnership, confirming the release of the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 in September 2025 for $275 USD. This marks the third chapter in the iconic Mars Yard series, which began over a decade ago.
To celebrate the announcement, Nike and Sachs shared a detailed 17-minute video that explores the design evolution, creative inspiration, and cultural impact of the Mars Yard line. The video highlights Sachs’ hands-on design approach and features his famous quote: “Nike Running is for runners, Nike Basketball is for basketball, and NikeCraft is for everyone else.”
Toward the end of the video, at the 16-minute mark, Sachs offers an exciting teaser — the Mars Yard 4.0 is already in the early stages of development, continuing the legacy of this boundary-pushing collaboration.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Year of the Snake” is an exclusive that was gifted to the winners of the third annual Mamba League Invitational.
Every year Kobe Bryant’s birthday and Mamba Day are celebrated with love and appreciation for all that he gave to basketball. The Mamba League has evolved into more than a competition to win. It’s a way to pay tribute to Kobe and Gigi and their love of the game. This year’s invitational ended with the winners being gifted with a surprise they won’t forget from Nike and Vanessa Bryant.
As a prize for taking the championship title, the winners were gifted a highly-exclusive Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Year of the Snake.” This elegant variation of Kobe’s fifth signature is presented in a deep crimson red upper with a more richly textured green snake graphic that is stitched across the Swoosh. Other design elements include a speckled midsole, Mamba League custom embroidered across the tongue, and signature at the heel. This will be one of the most significant Kobe releases of all time.
In an alternative approach to last year’s general retail drop, this pair of the Kobe 5 Protro will not be receiving a follow-up release. Outside of retros, the Kobe 3 Low Protro was recently unveiled as the next chapter in Bryant’s storied sneaker history.
The Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Year of the Snake” is a wonderful gesture to represent Kobe’s undying memory of being alive in every player that goes hard for that Mamba mentality. Though this unique iteration will not be receiving a retail release, it’s an appropriate encapsulation of his everlasting spirit and how it will always remain intertwined with Gigi and the game of basketball.
Air Jordan 6 samples are always in high demand, but these newly discovered 1-of-1s are on another level.
Instead of test pairs that are typically manufactured to tweak materials and colorways, these two were made at request, making them even rarer. Recently resurfaced in Portland’s Index consignment shop, the pair features two different takes on the classic 1991 silhouette.
On one, the premium black nubuck upper is paired with white Jumpman branding while the other is the exact opposite; it features a clean white leather upper, black midsole and black Jumpman details. Both feature translucent outsoles with a hidden white outsole hidden underneath.
Stamped to 2012, the samples resurfaced during a period of time when the AJ6 was nonexistent. The only retail editions released in 2012 were the “Olympic” and “Golden Moments” colorways. No other AJ6 colorways were released until 2014, making these pair of requested samples ultra-exclusive.
Jordan Brand is sure to be dropping new and original colorways in time for the Air Jordan 6’s 35th Anniversary in 2026, but for now these 1-of-1 samples show us that some sneakers will always be unattainable grails.
These 2012 Air Jordan 6 “Black & White” Samples are not on retail release schedule.
The Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Varsity Purple” will soon reintroduce one of Nike’s earliest—and wildest—designs. Hyperflights were originally released in 2001, and helped kick off Nike Basketball’s future-forward, seamless era. The original featured a wraparound sole, a sock-like silhouette, and an almost helmet-like upper, and was amped up by Jason Williams.
Jason Williams’ Nike Zoom Hyperflight PE in Varsity Purple pays tribute to his Sacramento Kings era, combining bold design with early-2000s sneaker culture.
The Sacramento Kings guard, known as “White Chocolate” for his flashy demeanor and fearless playstyle, originally swooped down in a Hyperflight Player Exclusive during his time with the team. That PE featured purple mirror-finish uppers, and has since developed cult status among sneakerheads and fans of early 2000s Nikes. It remains to be seen whether or not the retail model will be a direct copy of the player edition (fans are hoping for subtle touches like “JWILL” stitched on the heel or his No. 55 on the tongue), but that’s just the kind of story that makes retro drops work.
The Hyperflight’s comeback also plays into Nike Basketball’s present. The G.T. Future, a high-performance model that launches Holiday 2025, is essentially a Hyperflight on steroids. The shared silhouette, which is engineered for aerodynamics, shows how Nike has mined its Y2K basketball archive in service of its current performance line. Hyperflights have never been quite as retro heavyweights as, say, the Foamposite One. But a Hyperflight original still has major fans, and this highly anticipated drop should satisfy them.
Nike Zoom Hyperflight Varsity Purple Release Date
The Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Varsity Purple” is set to release Spring 2026 at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com with a retail price of $170 USD.
UPDATE 9/4/25: New in-hand photos of the Air Jordan 12 “Pearl Pink” have surfaced. This grade school exclusive releases November 21, 2025. Scroll down for a closer look.
Original Story 8/13/25:
Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2025 range is getting a kids-only Air Jordan 12 “Pearl Pink”. The festive colorway is playful, featuring a monotone treatment in Pearl Pink and Medium Soft Pink. This colorful pair was made for children who like to express themselves through the sneakers they wear.
The upper is made from tumbled leather. Stitched panels are added on each side, while the chrome metal eyelets contrast the rest of the upper. The embroidered Jumpman is on the tongue, while the traditional “TWO 3” branding is stitched down the center of the shoe. The tonal rubber midsole and outsole complete the look, and the herringbone outsole pattern is on display for optimal traction on the court.
2025 is already looking like a big year for the Air Jordan 12 with retros like the “Flu Game” and “Taxi” colorways returning, this new “Pearl Pink” variation adds to the shoe’s renaissance in 2025. This version of the sneaker is more playful, sporting a custom kids colorway and keeping the performance DNA of the Air Jordan 12 the same.
Air Jordan 12 Pink Release Date
The Air Jordan 12 “Pearl Pink” will be available on November 21, 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The sneaker will be available in kids sizing, with the grade school sizing retailing for $150 USD.
Arriving for Fall, the Nike Air Max DN Roam is a winterized update to the silhouette first seen this year.
The DN Roam carries over the futuristic aesthetic and Dynamic Air cushioning but this update for the colder months features utilitarian touches.
The headlining update is the protective zip-up shroud. It provides a streamlined look while also protecting the foot from the elements. Abrasion resistant textiles and multi-layered overlays improve durability, while pull tabs and toggle closures allow for easy adjustments. That fusion of fashion and function helps the DN Roam stand out from standard releases.
Supporting that is the Dynamic Air cushioning system returns underfoot with responsive performance and high visual impact. Leading the drop are three colorways: an all-Black version, a Black and Cargo Khaki combination, and a College Gray pair accented with Volt and aqua pops.
Release Date & Where To Buy
The Nike Air Max DN Roam releases Fall/Winter 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers.
Drawing heavy inspiration from the Air Jordan 7, the Jordan MVP 92 “Gym Red” perfectly meshes retro nostalgia and modern styling.
Adopting the stacked midsole, athletic profile, and “Flight” tongue writing, the silhouette is a nod to one of MJ’s most iconic eras. For that alone, sneakerheads will likely catch the correlation.
Covered in a vibrant red nubuck giving off classic “Raging Bull” vibes, the MVP 92 has a powerful air, further subdued by a tonal mesh upper. Black detailing found on the heel tab, midsoles, and tongue starkly contrast the upper while jagged white triangles and Jumpman logo stitching provide contrast and edge. Outsole consist of both black and translucent rubber to maximize traction and longevity.
The Jordan MVP 92 “Gym Red” is expected to be available in stores and online at Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com Fall 2025.
Almost 20 years in the New England streetwear game, Sneaker Junkies has teamed up with adidas for a regional ode — the Gazelle “Clam Chowder”.
The shoe nods to the New England staple in a clever design. Creamy suede used for the upper represents the broth, grey stripes are the clams, and green parsley-like laces make an appearance, as do oyster cracker inspired insoles and an anchor hangtag as a nod to Rhode Island’s coastal lifestyle.
The heel tab even features a cartoon clam graphic. Units are individually numbered out of 800 pairs, upping the exclusivity factor on this color story.
Releasing September 13th, the Sneaker Junkies x adidas Gazelle “Clam Chowder” will be available online and in-store only for $130 at sneakerjunkiesusa.com.
Adidas and Sneaker Junkies will host community days at their three New England locations in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, with food, live DJs and regional chowder tastings from Dune Brothers and CT Clam Chowder Co.
The Nike LeBron 23 “Miami Twice” is the next chapter in LeBron James’ 23rd signature shoe series, putting the spotlight on the King’s time in Miami, and the memories that never left him since. Borrowing its colorways from the shores of South Beach, this LeBron XXIII Miami iteration stitches together a familiar mixture of teal, pink, and big, bold statement hues to recapture the feeling of the Sunshine State.
Since joining the Heat, LeBron, all of a sudden, became the biggest villain in the NBA, quickly setting the stage to show the league what it was missing by chasing after him. The King then went on to win back-to-back NBA Championships and cemented his position as one of the all-time greats, something the “Miami Twice” picks up on in its storytelling. Lightning yellow and total orange accents on the tongue, a sculpted iridescent base and reverse Swoosh on the heel—both are strong nods to LeBron X “Crown Jewel”—are all retro elements sneakerheads will undoubtedly pick up on in a flash.
The brand calls this release one of its “Taking The Throne” collections in the LeBron 23 series. Expect each pair to be sold in a custom box and come with a booklet celebrating all 23 career-inspired sneakers, as well as a charm that fans can connect to the special heel detailing. More than just sneakers, this drop intends to track the metamorphosis of LeBron’s on-court career as a young superstar to championship victor.
Nike LeBron 23 Miami Twice Release Date
The Nike LeBron 23 “Miami Twice” drops October 9, 2025, and is listed at $210 for men’s and $160 for grade school.
The LeBron 23 series, which initially launches September 25 in China with a golden “Uncharted” colorway, drops worldwide on October 3.
Burna Boy has been named Clubhouse President in a unique collaboration with On. It’s a creative collaboration that takes an interesting approach to sportswear partnerships, giving Burna Boy an opportunity to co-create visuals and music while providing a platform for culture, as well as product.
“It’s a collaboration that made sense between our two worlds of music, sport and community. It’s an organic fit,” Burna Boy said in a press statement.
Fans of the Nigerian Afrobeats titan will likely recognise the importance in that small detail — the work is also about narrative and not just pushing the latest running shoe. On is a performance-first footwear brand, so the appointment of a cultural icon to help develop and grow its creative vision and community is a savvy move.
It’s also in line with a wider trend, with New Balance signing Rosalía as Global Ambassador earlier this month, and Vans naming SZA as their Artistic Director. Brands’ focus on non-sportspersons is a strategic way to change how they accrue clout, and as On are finding, tying lifestyle and creativity to a brand’s DNA. On’s aim could also be to get Burna Boy to take them further into fashion and culture discourse, rather than just see them on the running track.
Officially, the collaboration will kick off in 2025 with campaigns to follow later in the year. There are more releases and visuals to look out for, too.
