Nike Cortez Goes All-Out With Black Denim

Nike is bringing a new denim sneaker to their roster. Releasing in Fall 2025, this silhouette stays true to its low-cut and retro runner form but covers every last bit of the upper in black denim instead of leather and suede. The result is a textured yet slightly tougher take on the classic Nike Cortez sneaker.

The upper is monochrome, with black stitching around the Swoosh for just a hint of contrast and white Nike branding at the tongue and heel for a big pop of color. A black and white midsole provides structure and a classic gum rubber outsole ties the whole sneaker together.

Where this release really shines is in its commitment to denim. While the women’s release features a suede toe box, this men’s specific drop is all denim. The difference gives the sneaker a cleaner look, and it’s a design decision that we appreciate.

The Nike Cortez “Black Denim” will retail at $100 USD and will be available in men’s sizing at Nike.com and select retailers this Fall 2025.

It’s a casual stunner that’s primed for fall and beyond.

Nike Air Max Dn8 Gets Covered in “Tiger Camo”

The Nike Air Max Dn8 has proven itself unafraid of making some daring design decisions, and the newest “Tiger Camo” edition is no exception. The latest drop features the futuristic design the series is known for with a tough, tactical edge.

Clad in “Medium Olive/Flat Gold/Black,” the upper of this Air Max Dn8 is a bold take on tiger camo in multiple olive greens.

Black TPU overlays and a black sole pull the design together and provide the camouflage with a graphic structure. The now-traditional midsole featuring exposed Air pods provide both bounce and some pop to the aesthetic. Green mini Swooshes and retro “Air Max” heel branding give it just the right amount of retro.

The Nike Air Max Dn8 “Tiger Camo” will launch Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers for $190.

This pair makes a statement without trying too hard.

Jordan Luka .77 Joins The “NY vs. NY” Collection

The Jordan Luka .77 will feature in the “NY vs. NY” collection for Fall 2025, once again blending a daring aesthetic with game-ready performance.

A bright blue shade takes center stage on the lateral while the medial features a bold, all-over red. A full blue tongue across the upper helps keep things balanced while patent overlays with glossy finish at the toe and heel add to the punchy contrast. The two-toned effect also runs through the outsole, creating a show-stealing silhouette from every angle.

Jordan Brand makes their mark with spray-painted “NY vs. NY” tags on the lateral as well as tournament-inspired art on the insoles. Stitched red heart embroidery along the inside of the collar provides a more subtle tribute to New York’s basketball heart. The pair even features full-length IsoPlate support and Zoom Air cushioning.

The Jordan Luka .77 “NY vs. NY” will drop Fall 2025 for $105 USD at Nike.com and selected retailers.

Nike Air Max Plus Receives Reflective Details

The Nike Air Max Plus “Black Reflective” embodies the sneaker’s aggressive, attention-grabbing attitude from head to toe. Clad in all-black mesh with subtle additions of synthetic overlays for texture, the sneaker features a black mudguard, midsole and outsole to further enhance the monochromatic effect.

The minimalist style isn’t completely void of intrigue, however. Light-reflecting 3M stripes adorn the eyestays, heel piping and mudguard trim. These highlights catch the light in darker conditions, creating a dynamic punch without overwhelming the muted color palette. To further accent the all-black palette, a white Swoosh appears across the midfoot.

Nike honors the heritage of the classic silhouette by maintaining the traditional Tuned Air branding on the heel and outsole shank. Visible Tn Air units on the outsole keep the same responsive cushioning in place that first made the silhouette a fan favorite upon its original 1998 release.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Black Reflective” will launch Fall 2025 through Nike.com and selected retailers.

The Nike Ja 3 “NY vs NY” marks the newest addition to Ja Morant’s signature sneaker line, spotlighting NYC’s iconic summer basketball scene. This bold colorway celebrates the energy and culture found on legendary street courts across the five boroughs.

A stealthy black upper forms the base, enhanced by intricate textures for grip and durability. On one side, a vibrant orange spray-painted “A” merges with the Swoosh to form “JA.” Opposite, a bright neon yellow Swoosh pops for contrast. The tongue features a light blue NY vs NY logo—saluting New York’s streetball tradition.

Originally teased during the SNKRS Showcase, the Ja 3 retains its trusted Zoom Air cushioning for responsive support. Its sculpted sole and durable upper construction offer elite-level traction and control for players who thrive in fast-paced action.

Design elements like the orange “TWELVE” embroidery on the heel and stylized graphics nod to Ja Morant’s jersey number and urban flair. It’s a visual tribute to the toughness, swagger, and pride that define NYC hoops.

Nike Dunk Low SE Panda “40th Anniversary” Officially Revealed

Nike continues to push the Dunk Low, even in its 40th year. While the market feels the strain of “Panda” fatigue, the Swoosh is switching things up. In August 2025, Nike will drop the Dunk Low SE “Panda” with a fresh twist.

At first glance, the colorway sticks to the beloved black-and-white formula. However, glossy black overlays now add a luxe vibe to the classic look. Additionally, the laces are given a stylish gradient treatment—shifting from black to white.

A standout detail hides behind the tongue. There, you’ll find a debossed panda face and the phrase “EST. 1985,” celebrating the Dunk’s original release year. These touches keep the design playful but refined.

Though fans may have expected a fuzzy texture, Nike kept it sleek. The patent-style shine and hidden graphics elevate this from your average Panda Dunk. It’s clearly built to honor the Dunk’s legacy without overdoing it.

Panda Dunk Low 2025 Release Date

The Nike Dunk Low SE “Panda” will release in August 2025. Expect pairs to hit select Nike Sportswear shops and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $125 USD, and it will be available in men’s sizing.

To sum it up, the Dunk Low SE “Panda” refreshes a classic with subtle flair. Be ready this August—it’s a solid drop for collectors and new fans alike.

Jordan Spizike Low “DMP” Brings Back The Defining Moments Legacy

Michael Jordan’s “Defining Moments Pack” is back in the form of the Jordan Spizike Low “DMP” dropping Fall 2025. The upcoming basketball sneaker will pay homage to Jordan’s best seasons.

Taking a page from the DMP’s color palette, the Spizike Low combines elements of the Air Jordan lineup into a single maximalist design. The base kicks off with a white leather construction with black textured overlays and accents of metallic gold. This colorway nods to the collection’s original colorways, released in the mid-2000s.

Diving into the details, a pair of satin gold tongues with black Jumpman logos add punch to the look. Yellow plastic eyelets and elephant print overlays on the mudguards contribute more graphic elements to the look.

Molded heel tabs support two custom medallions on the back of the shoe, one with Brooklyn-based brand Mars Blackmon and the other with the 40 Acres logo.

Wrapping the midsole in metallic gold leather gives the insole some pop. A durable rubber outsole adds traction and comfort to the sneaker.

DTLR x New Balance 530 “Silver Azure” Releases August 1st

For a sneaker that’s running quietly in the background but refuses to stop putting in work, you’ve got to check out the New Balance 530. DTLR has now decided to shine some more light on the sneaker with an exclusive kids colorway dubbed the “Silver Azure.”

Unlike most youth sneakers that are simply downsized versions of adult shoes, DTLR added something extra to the mix. The collaboration’s design offers a fresh layout featuring bold pops of azure blue on the outsole, lining, and accent details. The layered upper features silver mesh, white synthetic leather, and black hits to create a look that’s both daring and wearable. Branding elements like the black “N” logo and ABZORB cushioning on the midsole are a nice touch to the shoe’s retro-runner design.

This is yet another bright moment for the 530, which has been on the come-up for a while now. What started as an early 2000s performance sneaker has since turned into a lifestyle staple found on many city streets. And with drops like this, New Balance is showing that it’s not just following trends, but setting its own.

The DTLR x New Balance 530 “Silver Azure” will be available starting August 1, 2025 exclusively at DTLR. Kids sizes will retail for $80, while preschool and toddler sizes will be available for $75 and $65, respectively. It’ll be available online and at stores.

With its sleek colorway and focused design, this release should not be overlooked—especially if you’re building the next generation’s rotation early.

Featuring a fully blacked-out upper, the “Black Reflective” draws from the classic 90’s template. It combines mesh underlays with textured leather and synthetic overlays. The laces, eyelets, midsole and outsole all match in an equally monochrome scheme. The stealthy approach is amplified with reflective accents on the Swoosh and tongue piping. In the right lighting conditions, the contrasting material comes alive.

The only other visible branding is a subtle grey Nike logo on the tongue and heel. On the footbed, the visible Air cushioning continues to provide comfort for daily use.

Nike Basketball 2025 EYBL Peach Jam Collection Revealed

Nike Basketball continues to get plenty of hype in the offseason as they released exclusive PE sneakers for the 2025 EYBL Peach Jam. The pro calendar might be on hiatus but that doesn’t mean that the youth circuit isn’t the place to be—and Nike isn’t holding back as it drops another collection of show-stopping Player Exclusives.

Jumping to the top of the list is the Nike Ja 3, available in orange, neon green laces and icy blue detail—a colorway that looks very on-brand for the Peach Jam festivities. The Nike A’One PE also drops in a deep navy and sky blue colorway that is clearly inspired by the well-received “Blue Fury” general release but with some extra flair.

The biggest splash of the night goes to Sabrina Ionescu, whose signature line received two Nike Sabrina 3s. While one version wears the Knicks’ signature orange and blue, the other silhouette was presented in black and gold. Ionescu also did a solid to Nike Basketball fans by getting a nod to her former EYBL team, the Cal Stars. The team donned a bold and one-of-a-kind mismatched Sabrina 3 colorway with purple and volt accents and some next-level customization options as a nod to the brand’s coming “By You” platform.

While these EYBL exclusives won’t get a public release, they are giving a strong indication as to where Nike Basketball is going in terms of creativity.

Every silhouette featured offered some combination of team pride and loud personal flair—Nike is showing the next generation of star players that it is taking them seriously.

Air Jordan 40 “Dongdan” Celebrates Beijing Streetball

The official Air Jordan 40 Dongdan has surfaced, celebrating the annual Jordan-sponsored streetball tournament in Beijing, China. Reportedly limited to just six pairs, this Dongdan PE may be one of the rarest shoes to ever come from Jordan Brand in 2025.

Shared by @oklai19, the sneaker boasts a shiny metallic gold upper, deep black suede overlays and reflective ZoomX cushioning. One tongue is adorned with a vivid orange Jumpman, while the other showcases the Dongdan tournament logo. This clever detail is a reminder that Beijing’s summer hoops showcase is world-renowned.

This pair follows the brand’s regular seasonal releases of Dongdan-inspired Jordan sneakers, like the Jordan 13 Low and the Luka .77. But this Air Jordan 40 colorway sets itself apart with its premium construction, icy outsole, use of orange detailing and “In One’s Element” insole branding, all of which suggest elevated storytelling.

For now, this Air Jordan 40 “Dongdan” PE is not slated for a retail release. Instead, it is likely to remain a tournament exclusive for select athletes — a true grail for collectors.
