First Look at the Nike Air Max 90 Boat Shoe in Brown Suede

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Dennis Mazur gave us a first look at the Nike Air Max 90 Boat Shoe in two in-hand photos he shared on Instagram. The brown suede pair surfaced alongside a square-toe Air Max 90 in his preview of Nike Sportswear’s 2027 lineup.

Leather laces sit just above the stitching that runs around the toe, a combination that brings the Nike SB Janoski to mind. Around back, Nike lowered the heel and lined the collar with soft brown suede. The familiar Air Max 90 midsole sits underneath in a darker shade of brown.

Expect the Nike Air Max 90 Boat Shoe to arrive in Spring 2027 at Nike and select retailers, both online and in stores.

Nike Air Zoom Generation “Gloria James” PE Releases Spring 2027

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Fewer than 10 pairs of the original Nike Air Zoom Generation “Gloria James” were reportedly made. Nike gave LeBron James’ first signature shoe a White, Metallic Silver and Real Pink colorway for his mother, and the pair never made it to stores.

Gloria raised LeBron in Akron as a single mother, and he’s often spoken about how she supported him as he pursued basketball. The tribute now spans several generations of his footwear. For spring 2027, Nike also has “Gloria James” editions of the LeBron 24 and LeBron Witness 10 in the works.

The Nike Air Zoom Generation “Gloria James” is expected to get its first retail release on February 5, 2027, two days before Gloria’s birthday. Retail is set at $190.

Where To Buy The Air Jordan 15 “Black Pack”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 15 hasn’t been getting much attention from Jordan Brand over the years, but it’s finally getting another release as part of the “Black Pack.” Set to drop November 7, 2026, the shoe joins the Air Jordan 17 Low to finish off the four-pair collection. The Air Jordan 14 Low and Air Jordan 16 were the first two pairs to release back in October.

One thing the collection has going for it is the choice of models. Jordan Brand has spent years bringing back the same Air Jordan 1s, 3s, and 4s, while shoes like the 15 and 16 rarely get much attention. The “Black Pack” gives those models another release, this time with mostly black uppers, different materials, and limited quantities. The response has been positive, even if the small production numbers mean this won’t be a major release in terms of overall sales.

The way Jordan Brand is handling the collection is different, too. Instead of relying entirely on SNKRS, the company introduced 232323232323, a website built around product photography, lookbooks, and shopping. It comes as Nike makes changes to its digital business and puts more focus on positioning Jordan Brand as a premium label.

As for the Air Jordan 15 itself, the black upper changes how some of its more unusual features look. The tall tongue is still there, along with the shape that made the original model so divisive. Covering most of the shoe in black makes those details less noticeable, while snakeskin across the side panels gives this version something that separates it from earlier colorways.

The Air Jordan 15 “Black Pack” releases November 7, 2026, through select NBHD retailers and 232323232323.com. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $240.

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Starfall” Is A China Exclusive

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Starfall” swaps its usual leather Swooshes for stitched outlines, with perforations set slightly off to the side. Even the Wings logo has moved, appearing on a frayed canvas patch near the collar instead of its standard placement.

Cobblestone, Off-White, Dark Smoke Grey, and Summit White cover the upper, with color changes between panels and along the upper and lower eyestays. Silver stars cross the leather sides and continue onto the midsole. They also show up underneath the shoe and on the insoles.

Thick rope laces and oversized Old English “AIR” dubraes add to the changes, while a matching bandana comes in the box.

The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Starfall” is available now exclusively in China. Buyers outside the region can look to the resale market for a pair.

Atalanta BC’s New Balance 991v2 Takes Cues From The Away Kit

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Atalanta BC puts its name on the New Balance 991v2 Made in UK, with pale yellow suede covering much of the upper and blue accents extending down to the sole. The Bergamo-based Serie A club gets several dedicated details, including embroidered tongue branding and its crest printed on both insoles.

Rough pale yellow suede wraps the toe and heel, with black mesh left exposed across the toe box, sides, and collar. Grey panels run along the forefoot with white stitching around their edges. Light grey laces and a matching lining finish the upper.

Bright blue fills the silver-bordered “N” logos and the Atalanta lettering beneath the New Balance name on each tongue. Around the back, blue stitching outlines the “v2” heel badges, with small “991” panels sitting along the outer sides. Yellow footbeds carry the club crests.

The sole combines white at the forefoot with a cream-colored heel section, where blue cushioning windows match the upper’s accents. A black heel clip sits above the midsole, and the outsole mixes black and grey rubber around a blue section marked with FuelCell branding.

The Atalanta BC x New Balance 991v2 Made in UK is scheduled to release during Holiday 2026 in unisex sizing. Look for the pair through Atalanta BC, New Balance, and select retailers online and in-store. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Nike Air Max 90 “Black Leather” Releases November 13th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike has a new version of the Air Max 90 lined up for Fall 2026, with the SP “Black Leather” bringing some noticeable changes to the original design. Instead of the usual layers of leather, mesh, and plastic, Nike has gone with a mostly leather upper, using stitched details in place of several familiar overlays. The look is closer to some of the simpler footwear NikeLab released over the years.

Rather than layering separate pieces across the upper, Nike uses stitching to mark out the Swoosh, mudguard, and side panels. The details are still easy to make out against the black leather, but the surface is much smoother than a regular Air Max 90. Even the plastic eyestays have been replaced with perforated leather.

The same perforated material appears around the heel, where the usual Nike Air branding has been removed. A tonal logo remains on the tongue, and the black laces blend into the rest of the upper.

The changes stop at the sole, which keeps the familiar Air Max 90 midsole and visible heel cushioning. There’s a faint blue tint inside the Air window, though the midsole and rubber outsole are otherwise black.

The Nike Air Max 90 SP “Black Leather” releases November 13, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and select retailers, priced at $170.

Denim Tears x adidas Originals Pack Releases November 7th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Tremaine Emory brings the plaid seen on “Ghana Must Go” bags to the adidas Superstar 82 and Stan Smith 80 for Denim Tears’ first release with adidas Originals. The two shoes mark the start of a multi-year partnership, with a design tied to the bags carried by African and Chinese immigrant communities.

Both pairs use cotton canvas covered in red, black, blue, and cream checks. Emory has used that pattern on Denim Tears shopping bags for the past two years. For the campaign, the shoes were photographed on New York’s Canal Street near a subway entrance, with a nearby building wrapped in the same plaid.

The Denim Tears x adidas Superstar 82 features serrated Three Stripes, deep blue accents, and an embroidered canvas heel tab. On the Stan Smith 80, perforated stripes keep more of the pattern visible, while green suede covers the heel tab. Both include metal eyelets, rubber soles, and gold-foil adidas Originals and Denim Tears branding.

The tongues and heels carry the Sankofa symbol, a new addition to Denim Tears’ designs. It comes from the Akan people of Ghana and means “go back and get it,” expressing the value of looking to the past and reclaiming what has been left behind.

The Denim Tears x adidas Superstar 82 and Stan Smith 80 release November 7, 2026, exclusively at African Diaspora Goods, the label’s New York City flagship. The Superstar costs $180, while the Stan Smith is priced at $160.

Air Jordan 1 Mid “Knicks” Now Available

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 10/4/26: The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Knicks” is now available on Nike.com for $150.

Original Story 10/24/26:
Black nubuck sits beneath orange and royal blue panels on the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Knicks”, which pairs New York’s familiar colors with a detail borrowed from the Air Jordan 8. Official images show a chenille tongue patch in place of the Mid’s usual tongue branding.

Orange runs across the heel panels and Swoosh, while royal blue covers the toe overlays and eyestays. The colors divide the front and back of the shoe, following a blocking approach seen on earlier “Top 3” and “Fearless” releases.

The textured tongue patch is the bigger departure from a standard AJ1 Mid, adding an Air Jordan 8 feature without changing the rest of the silhouette. It also gives this pair something in common with the Air Jordan 8 “Knicks” beyond the orange and blue palette.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Knicks” is expected to release in November 2026 for $150.

SNEEX x adidas XLG 2.0 “Wild Rivals” Pack Releases November 14th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 10/4/26: adidas and SNEEX have officially unveiled the XLG 2.0 “Wild Rivals” pack, featuring two colorways called “Mandrill” and “African Rock Python.” Both pairs were first shown at ComplexCon, and the latest product photos reveal glow-in-the-dark details on the side cages.

Angela Simmons, daughter of Run-D.M.C. member Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons, appears in the campaign, which was shot in New York City. The campaign uses the city’s streets to connect the animal-themed designs with life in an urban environment.

The SNEEX x adidas XLG 2.0 “Wild Rivals” pack releases November 14th through clickskicks.net, sneex3rdward.com, and the SNEEX flagship store in Milwaukee. Both colorways will retail for $140 each.

Original Story 10/3/26:
Shake James is back working with adidas Originals after already releasing the Samba “414 Day” and Forum Low “What The Milwaukee” this year. For his next project, he’s using the Adistar XLG 2.0 for a two-pair “Wild Rivals” pack inspired by the mandrill and African rock python.

The idea behind the collection comes from the mandrill and African rock python, with each animal shaping the colors and materials used on its own pair. The larger build of the XLG 2.0 also fits the theme, which centers around animals known for their size and ability to survive in the wild.

The mandrill-inspired colorway uses blue gradient mesh with red shaggy suede overlays, pulling directly from the bright blue and red coloring seen on the animal. The second pair is based on the African rock python and comes covered in yellow and black snakeskin-patterned mesh. Clear panels appear around the toe and heel as a reference to a snake shedding its skin.

Both pairs also come with collectible field cards that include information about each animal, including its habitat, diet, and behavior.

The Shake x adidas Adistar XLG 2.0 “Wild Rivals” Pack is expected to release in November 2026.

Nike Sabrina 4 “Christmas” Features New Zippered Shroud

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike Sabrina 4 is getting a different look for Christmas 2026, with early images showing a covered upper that looks nothing like the regular version. Sabrina Ionescu wasn’t included in Nike’s 2025 holiday basketball collection, but her fourth signature shoe is now part of this year’s lineup.

The biggest difference is the synthetic shroud covering nearly the entire upper. It hides much of the usual detailing found on the Sabrina 4, giving the shoe a smoother appearance while keeping the Nike Swoosh visible on the outside.

Bright Crimson, Black, and Electric Green make up the color scheme, with a small attached badge identifying the shoe as part of the “Naughty” side of the Christmas theme. Another tag reads “for lifestyle only,” suggesting this particular version may be intended more for casual wear than basketball.

The tags also mention a new Nike “Christmas Label” collection, which points to additional holiday releases across the brand’s signature basketball lineup. Nike hasn’t confirmed the other shoes included in the series yet.

Nike Sabrina 4 Christmas Release Date

The Nike Sabrina 4 “Christmas” will release in December 2026 through select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price tag is set at $155.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Joker” Now Available

By

UPDATE 10/4/26: The Nike Air Force 1 “Joker” is now available on Nike.com for $125.

Original Story 10/29/26:
The Nike Air Force 1 ’07 is among the models getting more patent leather colorways this year. This latest pair uses purple, green, and black, giving it a look similar to the Joker. Nike recently released the “Deep Royal Blue” version, with more patent leather styles also coming through the upcoming Victory Lap Raido collaborations.

Most of the color comes from the Bright Cactus green base, which sits underneath black patent leather overlays. Dark Iris purple is used around the upper, including the laces and tongue branding. The combination gives the shoe its Joker nickname, although there’s no official connection to the character.

Green also appears on the heel branding, insoles, and rubber outsole. The rest of the shoe keeps the usual Air Force 1 ’07 shape, with the glossy black panels providing most of the contrast against the brighter colors.

The Nike Air Force 1 Patent “Joker” is now available through Hibbett.com for $125. Expect a wider release soon on Nike.com.

Caitlin Clark Signs Historic Partnership With DICK’S And Foot Locker

By
Mario Briguglio
-

DICK’S Sporting Goods and Foot Locker have never had an official athlete brand partner until now. Caitlin Clark has signed a multi-year agreement with both retailers, giving the Indiana Fever guard another major partnership outside of her playing career in the WNBA.

The deal also comes as Nike prepares Clark’s first signature basketball shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1. Both retailers will help promote her upcoming footwear and apparel, adding another way for shoppers to find her Nike products once they become available.

Under the agreement, Clark will take part in advertising campaigns, store events, fan activities, appearances, and community programs. The partnership covers both national and international promotions, including marketing for her Nike signature collection.

Clark has a personal connection to DICK’S Sporting Goods, having shopped there before sports seasons while growing up. She called the opportunity to become the first athlete brand partner for both companies a special full-circle moment.

Nike wasn’t mentioned in the partnership announcement, though Clark’s existing contract with the brand remains separate from her new retail agreements. The arrangement gives DICK’S and Foot Locker a role in promoting her products without changing who makes her signature footwear.

There is also the possibility of retailer-exclusive releases tied to the Nike Caitlin 1, but neither company has announced anything along those lines. For now, the confirmed plans focus on marketing, retail events, and promoting Clark’s upcoming Nike collection.

Clark now has Nike handling her signature footwear alongside two major sporting goods retailers supporting her brand. The agreement puts her in a position few basketball players have reached when it comes to working directly with retailers.

adidas Harden Vol. 11 “UNO” and “Year of the Goat” Revealed

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

James Harden’s eleventh adidas signature shoe has appeared in official images ahead of its December debut. The photos show the adidas Harden Vol. 11 “UNO” alongside a first detailed look at the “Year of the Goat” edition, following the model’s initial appearance in July.

The upper combines mesh with a molded synthetic shell, continuing the rounded shape seen on recent Harden models. This time, the shell leaves more of the fabric exposed, with raised ridges along the sides and two pointed extensions reaching toward the toe. Those construction details are easier to make out here than in the earlier previews of “UNO.”

The adidas Harden Vol. 11 “UNO” releases on December 11, 2026, for $160. The “Year of the Goat” colorway is expected sometime in December 2026, also priced at $160.

atmos x adidas ZX 8000 “G-SNK” Brings Back Glowing Snakeskin

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The green pony hair on atmos’ 2020 adidas ZX8000 won’t be returning for this release. Instead, the retailer went with the model’s usual mesh upper for its latest “G-SNK Chlorophyll,” keeping the green color scheme and glow-in-the-dark snakeskin that connect the two versions.

Chlorophyll leather overlays carry the snakeskin pattern across the upper, while mesh replaces the fuzzy material used six years ago. Anyone familiar with the earlier pair will recognize the look, but the change in materials gives this version a more traditional ZX8000 construction.

The G-SNK series dates back to 2011, when atmos put glowing snakeskin on a ZX8000 in the original “Aqua” colorway. It has covered quite a few adidas models since then, including the Superstar, NMD_R1, and EVO SL. The ZX8000 has remained part of that lineup, and this release revisits an older atmos design without bringing it back exactly as it was.

The atmos x adidas ZX8000 “G-SNK Chlorophyll” releases on November 5, 2026, through atmos. The raffle is open on the atmos Tokyo website ahead of the launch.
