Jalen Brunson’s latest Nike Kobe Protro PE taps directly into one of the earliest milestones of his basketball journey. Long before his NBA success and championship runs at Villanova, Brunson made his name at Adlai E. Stevenson High School, where he led his team to multiple state title appearances. After coming up short twice, he finally secured the Illinois 4A championship in 2015, marking his first major win on the court.
That defining moment now fuels the story behind his newest Kobe 4 Protro PE. The design reflects his high school colors, featuring a clean white base paired with bold green accents and subtle yellow detailing. Elements like the Swoosh, Flywire cables, and tongue branding lean into that green tone, while the heel and outsole introduce contrasting yellow hits. A special championship banner detail hidden behind the tongue ties the concept back to that 2015 title run.
Brunson recently laced up this pair during a Knicks matchup against the Chicago Bulls, bringing the story full circle in front of a national audience. The Kobe 4 has become a go-to model in his current rotation, although he was known for wearing the Kobe 9 Elite High during his high school years.
Now firmly established as one of New York’s most important players, Brunson continues to build his legacy while honoring where it all started.
This Kobe 4 Protro PE not only highlights his connection to the Kobe line at Nike, but also reinforces how early career moments can shape the identity of today’s stars.
A new season is starting to take shape as Supreme pulls back the curtain on its Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The first drop is set for February 26th at 11 AM ET, releasing online and in stores, giving a clear timeline for what’s next.
Collaborations are at the forefront of Supreme SS26 with Spider-Man headlining in their own Vanson constructed leather capsule. The collab features jackets and shorts in colorful finishes accompanied by knits, hoodies and staples. Ghostface also debuts outerwear, knitwear and accessories in GORE-TEX. It also expands into jewelry with a collab with Jacob & Co.
Elsewhere, returning partners help ground the season. The Misfits capsule brings back punk-rooted graphics across outerwear and jerseys, while The Great China Wall continues its focus on reworked materials and detailed embellishments. Art Dealer adds two distinct graphic directions, expanding into apparel and a custom instrument.
A familiar logo also reappears. The Arabic Box Logo tee returns after a long absence, signaling a nod to archival Supreme moments while reinforcing its ongoing rotation of heritage graphics.
Accessories once again stretch the brand’s identity beyond clothing. A full boxing ring, branded ATM, and gold bars sit alongside more playful items, reflecting a continued push into novelty and statement pieces.
The Supreme Spring/Summer 2026 Collection releases February 26th via Supreme online and in-store locations. To see the full lookbook, CLICK HERE.
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Dr. Doom” is set to return for Holiday 2026, bringing back one of the model’s most recognizable non-OG colorways. First introduced in 2006 as part of Nike’s Marvel-inspired “Fantastic Four” pack, the black-and-white design quickly built a strong following. It later returned in 2016, and now makes its third appearance to mark its 20th Anniversary.
This timing lines up with renewed interest in the character, as Doctor Doom is expected to re-enter the spotlight in Marvel’s upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 2026. That cultural crossover adds another layer of relevance to an already popular release.
From a design standpoint, the 2026 pair stays close to its original formula. The Foamposite shell arrives in solid black, matched with black accents on the eyestays, tongue, and carbon fiber plate. White contrast hits land on the Swoosh, liner, branding, and outsole, keeping the clean two-tone look intact.
However, there are subtle updates. This version is expected to feature a larger Swoosh along with a shape that more closely reflects the original Foamposite mold, a detail longtime collectors will notice.
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Dr. Doom 2026 Release Date
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Dr. Doom” is expected to release during the Holiday 2026 season for $240. It will be available through Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.
Trends within London streetwear have remained nostalgic as of late and designer Corteiz has dug deep into grime fashion archives for his latest release. Seen recently across Instagram, the now familiar ‘angry eyes’ graphic makes a comeback.
The hype around grime fashion’s resurgence continues with this release from the Corteiz x New Era Caps Collection. The graphic itself does most of the talking, delivering a stripped-back but aggressive look that aligns with both grime’s past and Corteiz’s current direction.
What stands out is how the release bridges generations without overexplaining the reference. By pulling from London’s creative community for the rollout, the project reinforces Corteiz’s role in keeping localized culture at the forefront while subtly expanding its reach.
Release details for the collection have yet to be confirmed, but early teasers suggest limited availability. Expect the Corteiz x New Era drop to sell out quickly once it lands, with pairs likely surfacing shortly after through secondary platforms.
Moments of stillness rarely define basketball, yet Kyrie Irving continues to build his signature line around that idea. The ANTA KAI 3 “432Hz” arrives February 28, 2026, channeling balance and control through a concept tied to sound frequency and mental alignment.
Drawn from the idea of 432 Hz, the color direction leans into harmony and awareness. Violet tones carry a sense of focus, while pink accents reflect recovery and clarity. Hits of metallic gold reference tuning tools, adding a subtle layer of intention to a palette that feels measured rather than loud.
That same mindset carries into the campaign. A Matter of Time follows Kyrie guiding a younger player through a controlled, almost dreamlike space, reinforcing patience and growth as part of performance rather than separate from it.
Designed to play in, this model has ventilation channels running across the top to keep cool without compromising integrity. With a falcon-shaped design, it maintains an aggressive tapered profile and drops low. Extra heel stitching and stacked uppers on the forefoot ensure support with rapid transitions.
Underneath, N2 foam cushioning balances responsiveness with impact control, giving the ride a steady, grounded feel.
The ANTA KAI 3 “432Hz” releases February 28, 2026 for $135 via ANTA.com and selected retailers.

Those selected will receive an assigned date and time to complete their purchase and pick up the sneakers between Thursday, February 5th, and Saturday, February 7th.
Original Story 1/20/26:
The Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 Denim “Rigid” (Raw Indigo Denim) continues Jordan Brand’s strongest collaborations with a design rooted in American workwear culture. Using raw indigo denim across the upper, the shoe feels more like a crafted garment than a standard sneaker. It connects Levi’s long-standing history with Jordan’s most refined silhouette.
Dark denim wraps the panels with a texture that will age naturally over time. That detail alone gives the shoe personality from the start. Meanwhile, black elephant print anchors the toe and heel, preserving the Jordan 3s iconic identity. It is a balance between heritage and material storytelling.
Black perforated leather around the collar and lace panels sharpens the contrast. The look stays structured without overpowering the denim. A white midsole keeps the base clean while allowing the upper to carry the visual weight.
At the heel, classic Nike Air branding reinforces the retro appeal. The red Levi’s hangtag becomes the focal accent, referencing the famous 501 pocket label. It adds authenticity without feeling decorative or forced.
This “Raw Indigo Denim” pair sets the tone for the wider Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 lineup. Instead of chasing bright colors, it leans into texture and craftsmanship. That approach makes the collaboration feel mature and intentional.
The release schedule adds meaning. A San Francisco-exclusive launch during Super Bowl weekend honors Levi’s hometown roots. A global rollout later ensures accessibility without losing the cultural moment.
Levi’s Air Jordan 3 Denim Indigo Release Date
The Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 “Raw Indigo Denim” releases February 5, 2026 in San Francisco, followed by a global release on February 21, 2026 through Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

A rare piece from Jordan Brand’s archives is making noise again, as the Air Jordan 4 “Wings” Friends & Family edition from 2019 has resurfaced. Originally gifted to James Whitner during NBA All-Star Weekend at Social Status, the pair was never intended for public release, adding to its mystique.
The design leans into a premium execution, featuring a black leather upper paired with soft blue accents reminiscent of University Blue. What truly separates this pair, however, is the detailing. The midsole and heel tab are finished with subtle blue and yellow paint splatter, giving the sneaker a one-of-one artistic feel that aligns with the storytelling behind the Wings initiative.
This exclusive release ties directly into Jordan Brand’s Wings program, launched in 2015 to support youth through education, mentorship, and creative opportunities. While the initiative has produced limited public releases in the past, this Air Jordan 4 was kept strictly within inner circles, reportedly made in extremely small numbers.
Although a retail launch is highly unlikely, the resurfacing of this pair highlights the continued demand for unreleased Jordan gems. It also comes at a time when the Air Jordan 4 is set for another strong run, with high-profile releases already building momentum into 2026.
Reebok’s return to performance basketball continues to build momentum, and its next step arrives with the Engine A 26. While much of the spotlight has recently centered on high-profile signature launches, this model represents the brand’s deeper push to reestablish credibility on the court through innovation and consistency.
The Engine A series originally set the tone for Reebok’s modern hoops direction, introducing a fresh design language backed by its ERS cushioning system. Now, the Engine A 26 moves that foundation forward with noticeable updates aimed at both comfort and performance. The midsole sees the biggest evolution, combining a responsive SuperFloat forefoot unit with ERS technology to create a more dynamic, dual-density ride.
Up top, the construction shifts toward a more adaptable feel. A wrap-around mesh replaces earlier structural elements, offering improved breathability and lockdown. Underfoot, the traction pattern has also been refined to support quicker cuts and better grip during gameplay, signaling a performance-first approach throughout the design.
The launch lineup keeps things visually sharp with three distinct colorways. A bold “Cheetah” option delivers standout energy with gold accents, while “Atomic Tangerine/Digital Lime” leans into vibrant contrast. For a more classic look, a white and black pair is accented with hits of red and teal for added depth.
The Reebok Engine A 26 is set to release on February 27, 2026 via Reebok.com. Pricing lands at $120 for the white-based colorway, while the other two styles will retail for $130.
Palace Skateboards is leaning into its signature humor with its latest Vans collaboration, playfully labeling the new Vans Low 2 as “Skate Shoe of the Year” before the year even unfolds. The tongue-in-cheek campaign reflects Palace’s identity, blending irreverence with serious skate credibility.
This release continues the long-running partnership between Palace and Vans, which is approaching its five-year mark. While Palace has recently made noise through projects with Nike and expanded retail concepts in London, its connection with Vans remains a core part of its skate-focused output.
The Vans Low 2 builds on the foundation of the original model introduced in 2023. Designed with performance in mind, the updated silhouette features Vans’ advanced vulcanized construction. Key elements include impact-absorbing cushioning, reinforced durability panels, and a grippy rubber outsole built for consistent board feel and control.
From a design standpoint, the shoe keeps things clean and modern. Curved paneling shapes the upper, while a sock-like inner construction enhances fit and comfort. Subtle branding details, including Palace’s signature logo and dragon-inspired graphics, give the shoe a distinct identity without overwhelming the overall look.
The Palace Skateboards x Vans Low 2 will release in three colorways—White, Black/Gum, and Yellow/Black—on February 27, 2026 through Palace’s official channels and retail locations.
Edison Chen and CLOT continue to expand their creative run with adidas, delivering another refreshed take on the iconic Superstar. What started as a high-profile brand shift has quickly evolved into one of the most consistent and experimental partnerships in sneakers today, with Chen regularly reworking classic Three Stripes silhouettes through a cultural and fashion-forward lens.
The adidas Superstar remains a central piece in that lineup. This time, the model arrives in a “Coffee” colorway that leans into a warmer, more refined palette. The upper features deep brown tones that give the shoe a smooth, lifestyle-ready look, while subtle orange accents provide contrast across the branding. Although the colors change, the signature design language stays intact.
Details that have defined previous CLOT Superstars return here, including serrated edges, tasseled laces, and textured perforations throughout the upper. The split midsole also makes another appearance, reinforcing the hybrid aesthetic that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern streetwear cues. Altogether, the design continues Chen’s East-meets-West storytelling approach without straying from the model’s recognizable DNA.
After more premium versions recently surfaced, this release brings the focus back to a more wearable, everyday option.
The CLOT x adidas Superstar “Coffee” is expected to launch on March 7, 2026 with a retail price set at $200 USD.
Nike Basketball is keeping the Air Foamposite One in rotation, lining up a fresh “Phantom/Barely Volt” colorway for Holiday 2026. The Eric Avar-designed silhouette from 1997 continues to evolve, with this upcoming pair leaning into a clean, modern palette while staying true to its signature molded build.
Early details point to a glossy Phantom shell across the Foamposite upper, giving the shoe a smooth off-white appearance. Supporting elements throughout the upper are expected to follow a similar neutral tone, creating a uniform look. Underfoot, the outsole introduces contrast with a semi-translucent finish and a subtle Barely Volt tint, adding a faint neon edge to the design.
While not confirmed, there is speculation around potential glow-in-the-dark features. Previous Foamposite releases have used similar outsoles with that effect, so it remains a possibility for this pair. Even without it, the combination of soft neutrals and light volt accents keeps the look sharp and wearable.
Nike Air Foamposite One Phantom Release Date
The Nike Air Foamposite One “Phantom/Barely Volt” is expected to release during Holiday 2026, likely between October and December. Retail is set at $240, with more details and official images expected closer to launch.
UPDATE 2/23/26: Pre-orders for the Thom Browne x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 are now live, CLICK HERE. The collaboration is priced at $450, with orders expected to begin shipping on March 2nd. A closer look at the black colorway is available below.
Original Story 2/9/26:
Thom Browne is stepping into sneakers in a serious way, marking his first-ever footwear collaboration with ASICS for 2026. Rather than picking a niche model, Browne lands on the GEL-Kayano 14 — one of the defining retro runners of the current era — giving the partnership immediate relevance.
The trio of colorways debuted at Browne’s Fall 2026 show in San Francisco, just before Super Bowl weekend, and stayed true to his visual language with black, white, and signature grey options. The grey pair, modeled by Stefon Diggs, leans more premium with perforated suede, while the other two colorways appear to favor mesh builds.
Common details tie the pack together, including thick leather piping across the overlays and subtle hits of Browne’s red, white, and blue stripe motif on the pull tabs, tongues, and insoles. The collaboration also continues the GEL-Kayano 14s recent run of high-fashion reinterpretations, following releases with brands like Comme des Garçons, JJJJound, and A.P.C.
The Thom Browne x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Pack is expected to release March 2, 2026, though specific launch details have yet to be announced. Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
Jordan Brand’s relationship with HBCUs continues to expand, and Howard University remains at the center of that effort. Over the past few years, the Jumpman has consistently shown love to the school through both exclusive player editions and limited public releases. That momentum isn’t slowing down, as another Howard University-themed Air Jordan 1 Low is expected to arrive for Holiday 2026.
The previous 2024 release leaned into a white-heavy look, which many connected to Howard’s away uniforms. This upcoming pair appears to shift that narrative. Early details point to a “Midnight Navy” and multi-color combination, suggesting a darker, home-inspired direction that better reflects the school’s core identity.
While Howard athletes have received a wide range of exclusive Jordans—including models like the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 6—retail drops tied to the university remain limited. This new release will mark just the second time a Howard-branded Air Jordan 1 Low is made available to the public, making it a notable addition for both collectors and supporters of HBCU culture.
Air Jordan 1 Low OG Howard 2026 Release Date
As of now, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Howard University” is expected to release on October 1st through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $165 USD.
Sean Taylor remains one of football’s most respected names, remembered for his impact on the field and the legacy he left behind. Years after his passing, that legacy continues through his daughter, Jackie Taylor, who is now making a name for herself as a college volleyball player at UNC. Wearing her father’s iconic #21, she honors his memory while building her own path in sports.
That connection now extends into footwear through a special Nike KD 18 player exclusive. Created with Jackie Taylor in mind, the pair reflects both personal storytelling and performance needs. Volleyball athletes often lean toward basketball sneakers for their grip and responsiveness, making the KD line a natural fit. Taylor has previously been seen wearing earlier KD models, which adds authenticity to this latest design.
The sneaker arrives in a clean mix of white mesh and soft blue overlays, accented with subtle pink details. However, the most meaningful element appears on the tongue, where the number 21 is paired with a halo graphic. This detail serves as a tribute to Sean Taylor, tying the design back to his enduring influence.
While the emotional significance of this KD 18 stands out, it remains a player exclusive and is not expected to release to the public.
UPDATE 2/23/26: Sneaker Politics has officially unveiled its upcoming adidas Goukana collaboration, confirming a release date of February 28, 2026. The pair will launch online at 9 AM CT, followed by an in-store drop at all Sneaker Politics locations at 11 AM CT, priced at $160 USD.
Original Story 2/20/26:
Out on quiet back roads, where long drives blur into routine, Sneaker Politics sets the tone for its latest reveal. A teaser clip turns a familiar roadside moment into something unexpected, using motion and setting to introduce the Sneaker Politics x adidas Goukana “Roadkill.” The caption points to 2.28.26, hinting at either a release date or a closer look arriving soon.
Scuffed details shape the identity of this pair. White and soft pink tones cover the upper, while worn-in marks spread across the panels and midsole. That finish gives the shoe a used, almost weathered feel without going overboard. Layered textures build depth, and the striped mid-panel keeps it grounded in adidas DNA.
The sole unit shifts the energy. A sculpted base and rounded heel in pink add weight and contrast, while the forefoot stays lighter and clean. Cutouts along the sidewalls push the design forward, giving the silhouette a more experimental edge. This direction suggests adidas is leaning into storytelling with newer models instead of relying only on archive icons.
The Sneaker Politics x adidas Goukana “Roadkill” is expected to arrive on February 28, 2026 for $160 USD.
Awake NY is officially stepping back into the Jordan Brand spotlight, this time with a fresh take on the Air Jordan 6. The New York-based label quietly revealed its upcoming collaboration through its Spring/Summer 2026 lookbook, giving an early preview of what’s shaping up to be a notable Fall release.
The first pair shown arrives in a “Midnight Navy” colorway, featuring a layered mix of blue tones across the upper. Rich navy hues wrap the heel and collar, while lighter shades of blue spread across the midfoot, laces, and overlays. Suede underlays add texture, and bright Infrared accents are stitched throughout for contrast. Signature details like Awake NY’s “A” logo, a black and Infrared midsole, and a translucent outsole complete the design.
This project continues the momentum from Awake NY’s previous Air Jordan 5 collaboration, which gained strong attention—especially the pink colorway that resonated across the sneaker community. That same two-color approach returns here, as a second “Playful Pink” version is also expected. While not yet fully revealed, it’s rumored to feature layered pink tones paired with Infrared hits.
The Air Jordan 6 holds historic weight within Jordan Brand’s lineup, originally worn by Michael Jordan during his first championship run. As the silhouette celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2026, collaborations like this highlight its ongoing relevance in both performance heritage and streetwear culture.
Awake NY Air Jordan 6 Release Date
The Awake NY x Air Jordan 6 “Midnight Navy” is scheduled to release in Fall 2026. Both colorways will be available in men’s sizing, priced at $230 each.
