adidas x Mercedes AMG adiZero Collection Speeds Into 2025 With Six Performance Pairs

The adidas x Mercedes AMG adiZero Collection is one of the most aggressive runs in footwear. The German automaker jumped ship from PUMA to Three Stripes last year and has already made a series of bold drops with the brand. However, this latest collaboration was built for maximum impact. Mercedes AMG and the Three Stripes have come together for a six-pack capsule collection, with each model taking cues from speed, endurance, and motorsport design.

Silhouettes in the adidas x Mercedes AMG adiZero collection are steeped in inspiration from the Mercedes black-and-red livery, checkered Three Stripes, and AMG branding. Just that small detail on its own represents the detail and focus on performance. The color blocking on the shoes feels a bit menacing to me, but sleek and clean at the same time. The detailing throughout the collection is even more aerodynamic, reminiscent of the bodywork on AMG’s race cars. That is the type of crossover sneakerheads will take notice of.

The collection is split into two distinct footwear categories. Marathon and road racers will be able to get their hands on the adiZero Prime X3 Strung, adios Pro 4, and EVO SL, which have been developed with Lightstrike Pro foam for maximum energy return. Track runners will also have a trio of offerings from adidas with the adiZero Ambition, Avanti Tyo, and Prime SP 4, which are all spike-equipped for sprinting. The collection also features a range of technology built specifically for long-distance runs and sprinting. It’s a combination that embodies the “strength meets speed” approach to innovation that both brands are known for.

So far, the adidas x AMG adiZero collection is live now in Europe. The Prime X3 Strung is available in the U.S. online now, but that is only a fraction of the selection. U.S. release of the complete collection is also on the way per adidas, so expect the full lineup to be available soon for purchase.

The adidas x Mercedes AMG adiZero Collection is live now in Europe. U.S. launch coming soon via adidas.com and select retailers.

New Balance 1906R “Orange Crimson” Almost Looks Like A Salmon

New Balance has transformed its 1906R sneaker into a trail-ready style with the 1906R “Orange Crimson”.

Expect the shoe to take on a bit of gorpcore influence, but its construction and no-tie lacing remain true to the 1906R’s utilitarian roots.

The bright “Orange Crimson” overlays and TPU heel cage add an element of playfulness to the shoe. The Creamsicle gradient on the sole also hints at a design evolution.

The Creamsicle fade is probably the smartest part, as it tones down the loud crimson and provides the design with depth. These kinds of small nods are exactly what collectors are after when New Balance twists on their staples.

The New Balance 1906R “Orange Crimson” drops Fall 2025 for $155 on NewBalance.com and select retailers.

Arriving September 9, 2025, is the official release date for the Hollister x Crocs Classic “Unfurgettable” Clog. The first-ever collaboration between Hollister and Crocs sees the two brands teaming up for a collection of new styles.

Nike Vomero Plus “Anthracite/White” Stands Out With Abstract Midsoles

The Nike Vomero Plus “Anthracite/White” continues to push the silhouette into more daring territory.

Breaking from the subdued tones, this iteration is characterized by eye-catching bold patterned midsoles that are the star of the show. The engineered mesh upper in matching anthracite provides lightweight breathability while keeping the aesthetic tidy. Design elements like the tonal grey Swoosh and “Vomero Plus” tongue badge give the design nuance against louder midsole details.

As usual, Nike doesn’t neglect performance. The midsole is packed with ZoomX foam, Nike’s most energy-returning cushioning, and tough rubber with traction zones for longevity, making this a great long-haul training shoe. Reflective 3M accoutrements also mean no shortage of night visibility.

The Nike Vomero Plus “Anthracite/White” is slated to launch in Fall 2025 on Nike.com and select retail locations at a price point of $180.

Between the adventurous look and a tried and true Nike performance chassis, these make for a unique Vomero.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid Gets Metallic Blue Finish

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Metallic Blue” is a reminder that Jordan Brand can still make sneakerheads excited in an age of Mid overload. With seemingly countless Mid releases each year, a sense of freshness and surprise is harder to come by. But that’s what this sneaker provides, as its metallic sheen and reflective accents are matched by details that add depth to its design.

Jordan Brand channels the freshness first with a cobalt upper with metallic sheen. It’s eye-catching but never feels gimmicky or over the top. A quilted collar with X-stitching channels premium-textile aesthetics and recalls the type of luxe details seen on A Ma Maniére collabs. Silver marled laces complete the design and offer an additional dose of refinement, keeping this sneaker feeling like more of a special GR, rather than a basic silhouette. Vintage heads may also see a connection to the “Anodized” Jordan line from the 2010s. In any case, the softer and muted tones of this colorway and vintage-inspired midsole create a design that doesn’t feel too matchy or overt for today.

This colorway is a nod to the power of the little things. Sometimes, an Air Jordan 1 Mid can feel lost under the glaring presence of a High and Low. This Mid injects character without going over the top. It’s loud enough to be noticed but not so much that it isn’t functional as a daily shoe. This is the type of design mentality that sneaker enthusiasts love.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Metallic Blue” drops in Fall 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

The Nike Shox Ride 2 Cordura “Denim Turquoise” Comes Ready For Winter Months

The Nike Shox Ride 2 Cordura “Denim Turquoise” is a rugged rework of a quietly solid model. While Shox TL and Shox R4 have enjoyed an infinite number of variations, the Ride 2 has been a bit more experimental. Previous versions have included denim, iridescent and ACG-inspired builds. This latest rendition combines high-performance Cordura material for durability and season-long wear.

Nike will be launching a handful of Cordura-backed sneakers this fall and winter, including the Air Max Plus, Air Max Sunder, and a few Air Force 1s. The Ride 2, however, really shines in distressed turquoise denim print. “Light Silver” leather panels on the heel and overlays accent the denim while black mudguards, liners, and midsoles keep things balanced. Rope-style laces in black and white complete the trail-ready offering. That’s the kind of detail that sneakerheads appreciate. Function and fashion intersecting with purpose.

The Shox cushioning system, of course, is still here, providing bouncy nostalgia to early-2000s enthusiasts. Paired with the rugged Cordura base, the overall design works well for urban exploration or straight-up flexing during the colder months. Compared to flashier brothers and sisters, this pair is slightly more grounded. Almost like Nike’s take on technical outdoor footwear.

The Nike Shox Ride 2 Cordura “Denim Turquoise” will release Holiday 2025 for $210 in men’s sizing. Pairs will be available at select retailers and Nike.com.

Nike ReactX Rejuven8 Slides Appear in Gradient “Light Armory Blue”

The Nike ReactX Rejuven8 Slides “Light Armory Blue” is a graphic gradient creation for Fall 2025.

Its molded foam construction transitions from a mellow sky blue to a darker navy base, while wavelike ridges along the midsole call out its featherweight construction. A small Swoosh on the lateral side keeps branding to a minimum, allowing the sculpted silhouette to shine.

Comfort is the star of the show. These slides are outfitted with a ReactX midsole for responsive cushioning that’s plush underfoot. On top of that, the ReactX foam utilizes a lower-impact formula as Nike continues to focus on more sustainable innovations. Sneakerheads will also be stoked by the grippy outsole, which is created for grip on indoor floors and hard outdoor surfaces. That wear-ability makes them a great everyday option.

The Nike ReactX Rejuven8 Slides “Light Armory Blue” releases Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for the typical $60.

ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Arrives in “Obsidian Grey/Cement”

Arriving September 1st, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 “Obsidian Grey/Cement” adds another layer of neutrals in muted colorwork.

The mesh upper is provided in the primary Obsidian Grey with silver, dark grey and off-white leather overlays to complete the runner in a well-organized way.

ASICS then infuses a hint of playfulness with champagne accents wrapping the heel panel to deliver understated contrast to the overall tone of the shoe. The clean white midsole with Cement Grey accents carries that wink to classic ASICS cushioning design. The combination of both makes the pair appealing for lifestyle and performance alike.

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 “Obsidian Grey/Cement” will be available for $150 via selected retailers September 1, 2025. An ASICS.com release will come soon after.

The GEL-Kayano 14 first came to market back in 2008 and is now one of the most sought after retro runner in the line. This take continues the legacy, while keeping the aesthetic in line with modern sensibilities.

Nike Vaporposite Pro “Pearl” Foamposite Cleats Releases November 2025

The Nike Vaporposite Pro “Pearl” Foamposite Cleats look to modernize Penny Hardaway’s classic 1997 basketball shoe. Nike is taking the iconic Air Foamposite One “Pearl” and turning it into a high-performance football cleat for Holiday 2025.

Design-wise, it remains faithful to the forward-thinking design of the original. The molded Pearl shell upper is contrasted with black overlays, laces and a sock-like collar for stability. Metallic Swoosh is applied to the side and toe while red branding on the heel tab is a direct reference to Foamposite lineage. These design cues make it easily identifiable to sneakerheads familiar with Penny’s lineup.

The key here is the football-specific tooling. Nike replaces the Foamposite’s signature outsole with a lightweight cleated plate. Aggressive traction and stability come courtesy of translucent blue studs that anchor players to the field. It’s a practical evolution that also preserves the silhouette’s inherent cool factor. In my opinion, Nike has hit the sweet spot – this cleat is both a proper homage and still an effective tool. That’s the level of detail consumers will recognize.

The Vaporposite Pro Foamposite Cleats are yet another addition to Nike’s recent trend of transforming basketball icons into football cleats.

Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Silver/White” Sample Surfaces

The Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Silver/White” Sample also referred to as, “Heavy Metal/Anaconda” has surfaced and, of course, more mystery is added to Kanye’s brief, iconic run with Nike. Yes, sneakerheads and fans are familiar with the 2012 “Solar Red” and “Pure Platinum” colorways, but that only highlights just how rare and special this unreleased colorway is.

Featuring a metallic silver forefoot, the prototype has Summit White leather panels on the upper with an embossed anaconda design. The traditional midfoot strap, perforated toe box and sculpted ridged heel remain the same as the Air Yeezy 2. Additional features include hieroglyph-like graphics down the strap, glow-in-the-dark outsoles and “Heavy Metal/Anaconda” labeling. These details are a testament to just how experimental Nike were with this silhouette.

The glow of the outsole directly references the heritage of the original Yeezy 2. You can still spot them down the street. For me, this sample may have even trumped “Pure Platinum” when it comes to instant aesthetic. That metallic, sci-fi finish is so far ahead of its time. That’s what the sneakerheads will be zooming in on first.

This colorway never actually reached stores, but the sample itself proves just how much creative energy went into the Yeezy line. It shows how Kanye’s Nike era was a marriage of high fashion and sports, paving the way for modern lifestyle sneakers. For collectors, it’s like finding a piece of lost history when you spot this unreleased sample.

The Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Silver/White” Sample will most likely never be re-released and stay in the hands of a few collectors. However, its release provides another interesting “what if” chapter to the most legendary collaborations in sneaker culture.
