Jalen Brunson Debuts New Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE During Knicks Playoff Run

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Jalen Brunson brought out another exclusive Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE during the Knicks’ latest playoff matchup, adding a new colorway to his growing lineup of player exclusives. While the pair is not the Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star 3D”, its overall look clearly pulls from that same visual lane with a dark upper and bright contrasting hits.

The shoe features a textured grey upper with a reptile-style finish, staying true to the Kobe 6s signature design language. Blue and red gradients sweep across the Swooshes on each side, while the same tones appear again on the outsole and heel area for a sharper contrast against the black midsole. Grey laces and a matching tongue keep the upper neutral, allowing the brighter color accents to stand out more clearly on foot.

Brunson has steadily become one of the NBA’s most consistent Kobe wearers, and this latest PE continues that run with another unreleased design built specifically for game use. Unlike standard inline drops, this pair appears to be another player-exclusive colorway made just for him, which adds to the appeal for Kobe collectors and Knicks fans alike.

At the moment, the Jalen Brunson Nike Kobe 6 Protro PE has not been announced for retail release. If that changes, more details should surface at a later date.

TUNE Reveals Nike Air Force 1 Low “Inside Out” For Summer 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

TUNE is preparing to step further into the spotlight with a new Nike Air Force 1 Low expected for Summer 2026. After recently landing its first sneaker project with adidas, the Korean boutique now appears ready to introduce its first Nike-linked release, using the classic Air Force 1 as the canvas for a darker, utility-driven design.

The pair leans into an inside-out look, using exposed leather edges and layered paneling to give the upper a more deconstructed feel. Dark grey tones cover most of the shoe, while olive green details on the Swoosh and heel tab break up the palette with a subtle military edge. Metal eyelets and an oval-style lace dubrae add to the retro character, helping the sneaker feel more considered than a standard inline Air Force 1.

Material choice is another detail that gives this release more identity. An accompanying product card points to waterproof silicon carbide construction, a feature that would make the shoe especially appealing during wet weather. Bright green and black graphics on the insoles add another custom touch, while the matching green shoebox helps round out the presentation.

Even if this project is being described more as a special makeup than a full collaboration, the result still feels distinct enough to stand on its own.

The TUNE x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Inside Out” is set to release May 1st through TUNE’s website and their store in Seongsu.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Glow in the Dark” Releases July 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Glow in the Dark” is set to join Nike Sportswear’s 2026 lineup, adding a familiar luminous twist to the legendary basketball silhouette. Longtime Foamposite fans will remember Nike exploring similar territory with the Zoom Rookie, and this upcoming pair feels like a subtle callback to that era.

Nike is styling this Foamposite Glow in the Dark version in a Summit White and Black color scheme, offering a stark background for the fluorescent shell. While images have not been released, the notion of a high-visibility, phosphorescent upper returning to the Foamposite lineup is intriguing. The model has always shined—literally and figuratively—during standout years, and this version has the potential to spark that energy again.

This glowing Foamposite shell should give the shoe a strong lane in lifestyle circles, especially for fans who enjoy bold nighttime effects. The simple color blocking also gives the design versatility, which helps it fit the broader Foamposite retro movement Nike has been pushing.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro Glow in the Dark Release Date

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Glow in the Dark” is expected to release July 24, 2026 for $250 USD via Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.

Nike KD 6 “Meteorology” Returns July 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 6 “Meteorology” returns for Summer 2026, bringing back one of the most memorable colorways from his early Nike Basketball run. Rooted in KD’s childhood dream of becoming a meteorologist, the 2013 release paired bold storytelling with a performance model that quickly became a fan favorite.

Featuring a unique color combination of Black, Atomic Red, Medium Olive and Noble Red, radar-inspired graphics enwrap the shoe’s upper. That weather-map print, paired with the sleek, low-cut silhouette, helped define Durant’s sixth signature model as both bold and technical. At the time, it was a design breakthrough — merging Flywire support, lightweight materials, and a full-length Zoom Air unit that delivered serious court comfort.

For 2026, Nike is expected to keep the KD 6 “Meteorology” faithful to the original blueprint, while subtly upgrading materials to meet modern performance standards. The nostalgia factor runs deep — this pair marked a golden era of Nike Basketball when storytelling and innovation collided perfectly.

Collectors and hoopers alike will be watching this drop closely. With the KD line evolving and retros gaining traction, this return feels like the right move at the right time.

Nike KD 6 Meteorology 2026 Release Date

The Nike KD 6 “Meteorology” releases July 3, 2026 through select retailers and Nike.com, priced at $140 USD.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” Returns August 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” is set to return in Summer 2026, reviving one of the silhouette’s standout non-OG colorways from 2013. Its bold camouflage upper brought a military-inspired twist to the Foamposite Pro, helping the release carve out a memorable place in Nike Basketball’s archive.

Detailing for the reissue sees the signature molded Foam shell decked out in camo hues of forest green, beige, brown and black. The eyestays and collar are sheathed with black nubuck overlays, and Nike outfits the tonal mesh tongue and laces in the same tones. A shiny black Swoosh on the side is met with smaller Volt Swoosh logos that help create bold contrast at the toe and heel. There are other military text details including “N-758384” and “PRO97”, as well as neon chevron pull tabs. Nike outfits the shoe with a gum rubber outsole, resulting in a footwear collaboration that is steeped in hoops heritage and rugged streetwear charm.

While Foamposite was extremely popular in the late ’90s and early 2000s, the silhouette is not as hot today. Still, Nike has been dusting off and re-releasing select Air Foamposite models. While it’s a no-brainer to reach back for long-time collectors, it’s also a method of reengaging folks that may have missed the silhouette in the last 10+ years. The concept of keeping the Foamposite brand in the conversation, especially with an iconic or loud colorway like “Green Camo” is a massive factor in when one compares recent releases to the retros.

Its release comes alongside other signature Foamposite Pro drops for Summer 2026, including the “University Blue”, “Gym Red” and “Voltage” colorways.

Nike Air Foamposite Pro Green Camo 2026 Release Date

The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Green Camo” releases August 14, 2026 for $260 USD at select retailers and Nike.com. Stay tuned for more updates and launch info.

Liberaiders x UNIK x New Balance 2010 Walk Together, Bonded By True Friendship

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Liberaiders and UNIK are giving the New Balance 2010 a sharp new look with a release centered on friendship and shared design language. Their three-way project, officially titled “Walk Together, Bonded by True Friendship,” keeps things understated while still bringing enough contrast and texture to stand out.

Grey leads the upper with a mesh base and layered suede overlays, but the material mix gives the shoe more personality than a standard neutral runner. Smooth suede lands across the quarter, while hairy suede at the toe adds another layer of depth. Blue underlays help penetrate the faded undertones and packs the biggest punch of color on the sneaker, while accents of purple branding on the tongue and heel offer a gentler contrast.

On the foot, the New Balance 2010 appears grounded with an ABZORB cushioned system, beige midsole and black outsole completed with blue trim. Overall, it feels like a shoe that’s comfortable to wear but premium enough to stand out from what’s becoming an onslaught of 2010 releases.

The Liberaiders x UNIK x New Balance 2010 “Walk Together, Bonded By True Friendship” will release through an atmos Japan raffle on April 21, 2026, priced at ¥25,960 (approximately $160 USD). The raffle window remains open through the morning of April 21 in Japan, while additional launches are also expected through Liberaiders and UNIK.

Nike Air Max Plus “Multi-Color/Monarch” Brings A Sunset Fade To Summer 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A new gradient colorway dresses one of Nike’s most popular runners up nicely for Summer 2026. Mint takes over the toe-box before transitioning to Monarch as it stretches across the lateral side panels and into the heel, putting a faded sunset spin on an otherwise typical TN colorway.

Black overlays do the majority of the work here. The signature wavy cage sharpens the fade without covering it up, while the mudguard, tongue, laces, lining, and sole keep the rest of the shoe grounded in dark contrast. White Swooshes break that up just enough, and the Tuned Air branding adds small yellow-orange hits that play off the upper nicely.

The midsole keeps the same energy going with a light mint section near the arch that fades back into warmer tones around the heel. Visible Air units sit inside an all-black sole unit, which helps the upper stay front and center. From the back, the shoe looks much darker, but the side angle is where the full color shift really comes to life.

The Nike Air Max Plus “Multi-Color/Monarch-Black” is scheduled to release in Summer 2026 for $185 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Between the fade, the contrast, and the classic TN shape, this is one of those pairs that does not need much extra.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Doubles Down in “Peony/Pink Foam”

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Peony/Pink Foam” keeps the iconic all-white leather construction, but the pink details completely change up the feel of this shoe. While most of the upper remains clean and traditional, allowing it to retain the casual AF1 aesthetic, the placement of color towards the rear end of the shoe adds a softer and playful touch.

The two pinks used really help to make this shoe. Pink Foam is used on the weathered Swoosh, while the heel strap and rear pockets feature a darker Peony hue with a bit more energy. That contrast helps break up the shoe a bit, and the small accents of color on the tongue logo, heel strap and insole allow the shoe to feel put together.

A full white sole unit keeps the bottom half clean, which was probably the right call here. The piece that gives it the most personality is the removable gold charm chain near the heel. It adds a little flash and makes the pair feel more styled than a standard Air Force 1 Low, but not in a way that feels overdone.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Peony/Pink Foam” looks easy to wear, but it still has enough going on to stand out. It releases in Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers for $125.

Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 4/20/26: The Nike Book 2 “Don C” PE, dubbed “Just Book,” is expected to release on June 26, 2026 for $155. Stay tuned for official images and more launch details.

Original Story:
Devin Booker opened the 2026 NBA Playoffs in a special Nike Book 2 “Don C” PE that pulled from his Kentucky roots. Worn for Game 1 against the Thunder, the player exclusive channels the look of Don C’s famous Air Jordan 2 with a royal blue finish and a luxury-inspired build.

Premium quilted leather covers the upper, giving the sneaker a clean and elevated look from heel to toe. Matching blue details run across the midsole, laces, lining, and branding, while BOOK lettering on the tongue adds a personal touch to the pair. The design also ties back to Kentucky’s 2015 Final Four run, which marked Booker’s final stretch as a Wildcat before entering the NBA.

Nike First Sight Shadow Appears in All-Black

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike is making a real statement with its new First Sight model, and the First Sight Shadow might be the pair grabbing the most attention right now. Built as part of a women’s lifestyle lineup, the model feels like a throwback to the brand’s more experimental years, but it still comes off fresh.

The design pulls from Nike’s Alpha Project era and has that same futuristic edge people still love. Its molded upper gives off a Flightposite-type feel, while the black colorway keeps everything sharp and clean. Raised and pressed blob-like details cover the shell, giving the shoe a weird but interesting texture that makes it stand out fast.

New images also show off the outsole in better detail. A debossed crosshair breaks up the forefoot into four sections, and each zone is filled with rounded traction pods. The heel is split by a Swoosh that wraps up onto the upper, while the rest of the outsole uses wavy traction patterns to keep the design looking different from every angle.

A release date for the Nike First Sight Shadow “Black” has yet to be announced, but expect colorways to begin releasing later this year.

METAGIRL x Vans Teases Bold Old Skool and Slip-On Styles

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

METAGIRL and Vans are already hinting at a bigger collaboration, and the early preview suggests the project will lean hard into statement-making design. Teaser shots show co-branded insoles and checkerboard packaging, confirming the partnership while also pointing to a rollout built around more than just simple logo placement.

One preview in particular features a white Vans Old Skool decked out in textured faux croc skin. The shoes are differentiated by an oversized strap detail adorned with a jeweled horseshoe buckle. It instantly elevates the timeless skate silhouette with a more fashion-centric vibe. That combination of western flair and lucious texture feels worlds above your typical inline drop.

Another model that has been teased looks to be a Vans Slip-On with metal studs worked into the foxing itself. The upper keeps the familiar checkerboard look, but the added hardware shifts the shoe into a bolder lane. A third pair is only partially visible, though the frayed tongue suggests METAGIRL is also experimenting with rawer detailing across the collection.

Early imagery also points to some of these pairs being long-running concepts, as one sample reportedly carries a 2024 timestamp. That leaves plenty of room for changes before anything reaches retail.

For now, METAGIRL x Vans is still in teaser mode, and release details have not been announced.

Whitaker Group And adidas Push The Do Not Duplicate Collection Forward With A New Silhouette

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Whitaker Group and adidas are moving fast in 2026, and the latest Do Not Duplicate drop shows the partnership is not slowing down. James Whitner’s growing run with the Three Stripes has already reached 30 sneakers in just a few months, with this newest four-pair release standing out for one major reason. It officially introduces the adidas BW 00s, a new model that gives a modern twist to one of the brand’s most familiar training silhouettes.

Directly inspired by the adidas BW Army, the adidas BW 00s update the silhouette with a bolder fit that works for modern street style. As was done with the Campus 00s earlier this year, the silhouette takes a classic design and enlarges the proportions for a tougher feel. Key elements of the shoe including the iconic T-toe and side stripes remain untouched, but receive an updated vibe with a stacked heel and herringbone-effect outsole.

Leaving streetwear sneakers buffs with two colorways to choose from, the adidas BW 00s come in Cream and Clay/Navy colorways. Both are finished with cracked leather uppers, hairy suede overlays, and fuzzy laces. The design also keeps the Do Not Duplicate identity going with the familiar half-circle serrations near the eyestay, while off-set tongue branding gives the pair a fresh detail. Rounding out the drop are two adidas Handball Spezial styles, arriving in Green and Yellow/Purple.

Raffles for the latest Whitaker Group x adidas Do Not Duplicate Collection are live now through Whitaker Group retailers. Both the BW 00s and Handball Spezial retail for $140, making this another important chapter in what is quickly becoming one of adidas’ busiest collaborative runs of 2026.

Nike Sabrina 3 “Welcome to Miami” Packs South Beach Colors

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Sabrina 3 “Welcome to Miami” is bringing bright South Florida energy to Sabrina Ionescu’s latest signature model with a kids-exclusive release that does not hold back on color. Built for grade school sizing, this pair leans all the way into the playful side of the silhouette while giving the performance basketball shoe a louder seasonal look.

Light blue covers the toe box and heel, while darker blue stitching and matching star graphics add contrast across those panels. The middle of the shoe shifts the entire mood, using a vertical fade that moves from blue near the laces into hot pink by the midsole. Purple tones fill the space in between, giving the upper a bold mix that feels directly inspired by Miami’s neon-heavy palette.

Golden yellow lands on the Swooshes and lace loops, adding another strong pop against the cooler shades around them. Maintaining that forward momentum is the midsole with a gradient that transitions from pink to blue, with black accents at the heel offering a muted contrast to the otherwise vivid finish. There’s an undeniable attention-grabbing aesthetic at play with every element screaming youth hoop culture.

The Nike Sabrina 3 GS “Welcome to Miami” will drop on May 1, 2026. The kids-only colorway will retail for $112 USD on Nike.com and select retailers.

UCLA Air Jordan 14 PE Might Be The Best College Pair Yet

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UCLA’s latest Air Jordan 14 PE is one of the cleanest college exclusives to surface from Jordan Brand’s recent rollout. The Bruins pair joins a growing list of school-issued Air Jordan 14s, but this one stands out right away with a rich blue upper, black accents, and metallic gold details pulled straight from UCLA’s team colors.

Smooth blue suede covers the upper from heel to toe, giving the silhouette a bold but refined look. Black lands on the tongue, liner, and outsole, while carbon fiber detailing wraps the midsole in classic Air Jordan 14 fashion. Metallic gold hits on the midfoot shank, lace tips, and branding add the extra contrast that ties the whole color scheme together.

UCLA-specific details push the pair even further, with the school’s logo placed inside the shield badge on the lateral side. Blue Jumpman and 23 branding appear on the heel tab, and the gold shank plate keeps the Ferrari-inspired design language of the model intact while giving it a school-issued twist.

Jordan Brand appears to be continuing its Air Jordan 14 PE run across several sponsored programs, with UCLA now joining schools like UNC, Oklahoma, and San Diego State. As with the other college exclusives, this pair is expected to remain a player-exclusive release.

Jordan Sixty Plus Low “Sail/Fire Red” Revives Its Air Jordan 5 DNA

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 4/20/26: The Jordan Sixty Plus Low “Sail/Fire Red” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 2/20/26:
Jordan Brand is revisiting one of its hybrid concepts with the return of the Jordan Sixty Plus in low-top form, now surfacing in a clean “Sail/Fire Red” colorway. Originally introduced in 2009, the model was built around a unique concept—blending design elements from the sneakers Michael Jordan wore during his 60-point performances.

This updated low-top version stays true to that DNA while leaning heavily into Air Jordan 5 influence. The “Fire Red” accents, jagged midsole detailing, and visible Air unit create a strong visual connection, making it easy to mistake for a modified AJ5 at first glance. At the same time, the build pulls in recognizable cues from other classics, including the Air Jordan 1-inspired toe box, Air Jordan 2-style lace loops and heel structure, and the signature “23” branding from the Air Jordan 7.

The upper arrives in a soft Sail finish, giving the shoe a more lifestyle-friendly look, while bold red hits across the midsole and outsole bring contrast and energy. Icy outsole sections and classic Jumpman branding round out the design.

The Jordan Sixty Plus Low “Sail/Fire Red” is expected to release April 20, 2026, continuing Jordan Brand’s push to reintroduce hybrid silhouettes with strong ties to its performance legacy.

FIRST LOOK: adidas DON Issue 8

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The adidas DON Issue 8 is starting to take shape with a first look at Donovan Mitchell’s next signature shoe in a bright “Lucid Tangerine/Core Black/Pulse Mint” colorway. Eight models into the line, adidas appears to be sticking with the low-cut direction that has helped define Mitchell’s series while still giving the silhouette a fresh identity.

A new webbed overlay design runs across the upper, adding structure and a more aggressive look to the model. Black wraps the collar and lace area, while orange lands across the mesh tongue and much of the side panel. Mint hits at the toe, outsole, and heel help break up the warmer tones, giving the shoe a louder finish that fits well within the DON line’s usual approach to color.

Striped detailing at the heel adds even more contrast and helps push the speed-driven look of the silhouette. The overall shape stays close to what fans of the series would expect, but the updated build gives the DON Issue 8 a sharper visual presence than some of its earlier predecessors.

The adidas DON Issue 8 “Lucid Tangerine/Pulse Mint” is expected to release August 15, 2026 through select adidas Basketball retailers and adidas.com. Available in men’s and grade school sizing, the retail price tag is set at $120 and $90, respectively.
