Patta Air Max DN8 “Royal Blue” Sign-Ups Now Open

UPDATE 9/19/25: Sign-ups are now open for the Patta Air Max DN8 “Royal Blue,” the second colorway releasing in 2025. CLICK HERE.

Original Story 9/12/25:
The Patta x Nike Air Max DN8 continues the model’s rise as one of Nike’s most collaborative sneakers in 2025. First launched during Air Max Day, the DN8 has already hosted projects with Better Gift Shop and Cav Empt. Now, Patta steps in with what’s shaping up to be the biggest collab yet.

Rumored to include four colorways, the rollout has already revealed two distinct looks. The newest version, previewed by Awake NY’s Angelo Baque, features glossy royal blue patent leather across the upper. Black and silver accents break up the shine, while a metallic Swoosh carabiner loops into the laces. Patta’s script branding adds its signature touch on the tongue and one of the heel Air chambers. That mix of heritage details and bold design choices gives this pair undeniable presence.

While Nike and Patta haven’t shared release specifics, this collaboration could see a drop later in 2025. With two additional colorways still under wraps, anticipation continues to build.

Air Jordan 6 Low Kiyan Anthony PE Revealed With Syracuse-Inspired Colors

Carmelo Anthony may have retired, but the Anthony legacy with Jordan Brand continues. As the brand’s first major signee, Carmelo’s collection of rare Player Exclusives still stands among the best. Now, his son Kiyan Anthony is stepping into the spotlight with his own bold take: the Air Jordan 6 Low Kiyan Anthony PE.

First seen from @JitTheBeast on social media, this exclusive pair reflects Kiyan’s Syracuse ties in a vibrant way. Bright orange leather panels highlight the base, paired with forest green overlays that cut through the design. Royal blue dominates the perforated toe box, while lavender suede hits the heel in a cracked finish. Individual tones have their own textures, lending a patchwork appearance to the sneaker that’s bold and new. Cream and peach are merged in the midsole, while a translucent heel tab and embroidered “KIYAN” branding make it personal.

On the performance side, the pair retains classic Air Jordan 6 Low details, including visible Air cushioning and a translucent outsole accented in orange and purple. That combination ties the design together and makes it feel game-ready.

Kiyan has already built his personal brand in the NIL era with deals from AT&T, Nerf, and American Eagle. While Jordan Brand hasn’t officially signed him yet, sneakers like this PE prove that the next generation of Anthonys is more than ready to carry the torch.

Sadly for collectors, the Air Jordan 6 Low Kiyan Anthony PE will remain family-exclusive.

Jordan Session “Year of the Bull” Covered in Horns and Fur

UPDATE 9/19/25: Nike has provided an explanation for this Jordan Session release. It is not related to Halloween, the devil, or satanic iconography. It was actually designed for “The Year of the Bull” as a China-exclusive and the eyes, fur, and horns are a nod to that theme. The last Year of the Ox was 2021, and it won’t be back until 2033.

Original Story 9/18/25:
Introducing the Jordan Session “Demonic,” one of the most striking designs in Jordan Brand’s future catalog.

Paying homage to the Bulls history while still being the most untraditional colorway possible.

Inspired by the meaning of its SKU (IM6666-066), the sneaker completely embraces satanic imagery. The lower half of the upper is made of faux pony hair in a jet black hue with silver chain accents, and a nose-ring on the tongue below stitching that outlines piercing eyes. The ominous details don’t end there, as the top eyelets are replaced by ruby-red horns.

The midsole cracks into red on a black background, and the insole, as well as the packaging graphics, is comprised of flames, and even the holographic sticker adheres to the aesthetic with a flame wrapped Jumpman logo. The devil truly is in the details with this lifestyle sneaker from Jordan.

The Jordan Session “Demonic” will be released October 2025 at Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers.

Barbie Would Love This Nike Air Max Muse

The Nike Air Max Muse “Pink Spell” is an eye-catching Fall 2025 standout.

The next major women’s sneaker drop from Nike Sportswear may just be this pair. Arriving as the latest women’s only shoe from the brand’s everyday label, the standout take is an unmistakable burst of color.

The design features a breathable mesh base with added sculpted synthetic overlays across the entire silhouette. Colors? Expect eye-catching hues of Pink Spell and Pink Glow.

The model defies the typical fall palette. Rather than explore autumnal tones, the shoe has a monochromatic pink aesthetic that exudes pure energy. The multi-piece midsole also aligns with the electrifying look and feel, as does the exposed Air unit on the heel of the design.

The Nike Air Max Muse “Pink Spell” will launch in Fall 2025 for $170. Pairs will be available at Nike.com and select retail partners.

This Nike Air Max TL 2.5 Can Be Mistaken For A Steelers Collab

The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “Black/Varsity Maize” brings back one of the best late-2000s colorways with a high-contrast sneaker that’s sure to get looks.

Featuring a black base, the shoe is accented by Varsity Maize underlays in the form of mesh panels across the sides and collar. A similar color is also used for the tongue, Swooshes, and Air Max branding.

Additionally, there are reflective overlays for more visibility and a callback to the runner’s heritage. Finally, a full-length Max Air unit provides underfoot cushioning that this classic silhouette became known for.

The TL 2.5 made a splash with its futuristic aesthetic when it first launched. The new retro revival keeps that in mind, while dialing the colorway back to an evergreen black and yellow look.

Arriving Fall 2025, the Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “Black/Varsity Maize” will cost $190. The shoe will be available on Nike.com and at select retailers.

Nike Air Force 1 Shadow Goes For Black And Pink Contrast

The Nike Air Force 1 Shadow “Black/Pink Spell” puts a fresh spin on the classic, releasing Fall 2025.

Nike’s Air Force 1 Shadow line is known for its gruff, deconstructed vibe. Think lots of layers, double branding, and chunky midsole stuff. Sneakerheads are familiar with the off-kilter cut of a floating Swoosh and doubled heel tabs. Both of these design details are hallmarks of the Shadow silhouette.

This time around, the model is a bit more refined. A black base is accented by two shades of pink for the overlays, heel, and swoosh. This unique color combo brings the soft and bright tones of pink together, for contrast without going overboard.

The Nike Air Force 1 Shadow “Black/Pink Spell” drops Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers for $135.

Step Into Fantasy With The “Wizard” Nike Dunk Lows

The Nike Dunk Low “Wizard” brings a spellbinding look to the classic silhouette.

Black leather and suede are contrasted by bright purple accents. The eye is drawn to the marbled, prismatically-hued Swoosh. Meanwhile, a semi-transparent outsole gives it depth, and matching insoles with an illustration inside only continue the lore.

The footwear is accompanied by apparel that is just as steeped in nostalgia as it is in fantasy. Graphic-laden tees and hoodies offer mystical designs and abstracted Nike logos to continue the magic beyond the shoes.

The Nike Dunk Low Limited “Wizard” and its accompanying apparel will launch in Holiday 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers.

Jordan MVP 92 Nods To The Air Jordan 7 “Nothing But Net”

The Jordan MVP 92 “Nothing But Net” pulls inspiration from Michael Jordan’s iconic television commercial.

Inspired by the Air Jordan 7 “Nothing But Net”, the shoe features its signature zig-zag details in “Bright Concord” and “Laser Orange” hues layered on top of White and Black.

Updated with a sleeker silhouette and construction, the MVP 92 also retains elements from the AJ7. The upper paneling and outsole tread patterns pay homage to Tinker Hatfield’s 1992 design, evoking nostalgia for sneaker enthusiasts. Retro elements are further echoed on the insole and outsole, infusing early ’90s flair into a new era.

Scheduled to release in Fall 2025 retailing for $140, the Jordan MVP 92 “Nothing But Net” will be available to purchase at Nike.com and select retailers.

A fusion of past and present, this sneaker is for those who appreciate Jordan’s legacy. It offers a nod to its roots through a modern shape and comfort while maintaining the iconic “Nothing But Net” theme. That balance between old and new is what makes this sneaker unique.

Nike A’One “Sail/Metallic Gold” Releases October 2025

Nike is adding another edition to A’ja Wilson’s signature lineup with the Nike A’One “Sail/Metallic Gold”, scheduled to release October 2025. The silhouette immediately follows the relatively quiet “Black/Metallic Silver” release with a decidedly more glamorous, festive design.

Nike starts with a Sail upper constructed of layered mesh and synthetic materials that play up the shoe’s wavy elements. Bold splashes of Metallic Gold are on full display, accenting the oversized Swoosh, eyestays, heel branding and midsole cutouts. Tonal laces and a crisp white midsole help keep things balanced, while personal touches like Wilson’s embroidered signature on the heel and custom sockliner graphics bring the sneaker back to her roots.

As you can probably guess, performance still plays a major role here, too. Multidirectional traction on the outsole adds grip and support for on-court play and everyday wear. The lighter “Sail/Metallic Gold” shoe has a more sophisticated look and feel than the darker “Black/Metallic Silver” release. The contrast between the two make this one of the most utilitarian signature releases in recent memory.

The Nike A’One “Sail/Metallic Gold” releases in October 2025 at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com for $115 USD.

Nike A’One “Black/Metallic Silver” Releases October 2025

Nike is continuing the A’ja Wilson signature lineup with the next edition, the Nike A’One “Black/Metallic Silver” dropping October 2025. The latest take on the silhouette offers a clean look on the forecourt and features a colorway that effortlessly takes you from the court to the streets.

The shoe presents in a triple-black color scheme, using layered mesh and synthetic overlays that accentuates its sleek frame. A bright metallic silver Swoosh snakes across the side of the shoe, providing a pop of contrast and a clean finish. Glossy eyestays, tonal laces, and a textured midsole upholds the shoe’s clean aesthetic, making it feel more stealth-driven.

Personalization pays homage to Wilson’s story, as her name is stitched across the heel while custom insignias are included on the sockliners, anchoring the model to her identity. The outsole is blacked-out in the design, using a traction pattern made for quick cuts and game-ready stability. That’s the level of detail players will appreciate upon first glance.

The Nike A’One “Black/Metallic Silver” will release in October 2025, at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com, retailing for $115 USD.

Swarovski x Nike Pegasus Premium Shines With Crystal Details

Nike’s performance kicks get a dose of luxury with the Swarovski x Nike Pegasus Premium coming this Fall 2025.

The running shoe drops in a bold colorway of Blue Force, Blue Void, and Metallic Silver. The most eye-catching element is the side Swoosh that’s now covered with Swarovski® crystals. The detail is an understated one, compared to previous Air Max collaborations that slathered crystals all over the upper. Instead, this lets the crystals shine alone.

Function comes first on the Pegasus Premium as well. Breathable mesh, Zoom cushioning, and thick overlays work together to support your stride while glow-in-the-dark accents add visibility and swagger. The deep blues also offer a departure from the earth tones that have been prevalent for most Fall 2025 releases so far. It’s an excellent, cool, and refreshing departure. A Swarovski®-embossed dust bag rounds out the package.

The Swarovski x Nike Pegasus Premium “Blue Force” will launch in Fall 2025 on Nike.com and at select retailers.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Varsity Maize” Brings Taxi Vibes

The Nike Air Max 95 “Varsity Maize” is making its way back for Holiday 2025 in a bold, high-contrast design. This version ditches the model’s classic gradient look, opting for a full yellow upper contrasted with black overlays, tongue, and midsole. Metallic Silver accents and reflective 3M hits on the tongue and heel complete the aggressive color blocking.

While labeled “Varsity Maize” by Nike, the color scheme inevitably brings to mind the high energy that pulses through the streets of New York City. Yellow and black has been a popular colorway for the Air Max 95 over the years and has become one of the silhouette’s most arresting color palettes. The Corteiz “Honey Black” collab is a more recent example of the colorway’s effectiveness, and the project’s success was a clear indication that the aesthetic remains in vogue.

Debuting in 1995, the Air Max 95 was the brainchild of Sergio Lozano and is most well-known for its intricate upper, which was inspired by the many layers of the human body. Since its inception, the sneaker has been refreshed with a number of new palettes while still maintaining the DNA that made it so successful. It’s clear that Nike still knows how to remix their timeless silhouettes with engaging stories and fresh treatments like this “Varsity Maize” rendition.

The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Varsity Maize” will drop Holiday 2025 at a retail price of $190 USD on Nike.com and at select retailers.

Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low Expected Summer 2026

The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low finds new terrain for the AF1’s classic silhouette.

The Summit White leather, tonal lacing and eggshell accents nod to the low’s legacy before amping up the toughness.

Nike has taken the AF1 further than just a lifestyle sneaker before, but the Vibram sole is a new level of grip. It’s a subtlety that sneakerheads will appreciate first, in the form of a yellow Vibram badge that speckles the midsole and outsole. This build has a more utilitarian and street-ready feel, compared to your standard AF1.

Finishing details include a pair of lace options, as well as metal dubraes etched with “AF1” and “Gore-Tex” for all-weather footwear. The outsole also gets a pattern facelift, providing function while maintaining the original’s signature minimal aesthetic.

The Vibram x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Summit White” will spearhead a three-pair pack, and will officially drop in Summer 2026 at Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Max Plus Golf Releasing in “Voltage Purple” and “Black/Metallic Silver”

The Nike Air Max Plus Golf is back for Fall 2025 and is available in two new colorways, “Voltage Purple” and “Black/Metallic Silver.”

Sporting a spike-less upper, it retains the streetwear sensation from Sean McDowell’s original silhouette, with some tweaks made for playability.

The updated model in both colorways features the same Tuned Air DNA as the original sneakers. However, the black variation makes the switch from mesh to a more premium leather construction. This could be a welcome change for golfers who need their shoes to stand up to a day on the course. Meanwhile, the bold “Total Orange” accents on the Swoosh and tongue pay homage to classic Nike style.

The outsole has been specifically tuned for traction on the fairway, while the responsive cushioning remains for all-day comfort.

The Nike Air Max Plus Golf “Voltage Purple” and “Black/Metallic Silver” drop Fall 2025 and are retailing for $195 each via Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Air Max TL 2.5 Inspired By The Classic Air Max 95″Neon”

Nike has a new Air Max TL 2.5 “Neon” sneaker releasing Fall 2025. The shoe is a colorway bringing back a mid-2000s classic with some aggressive heritage tones.

The silhouette borrows plenty of inspiration directly from the original Air Max 95 “Neon”. This pair incorporates similar design elements, but updates it with the contemporary TL 2.5’s sleek profile.

Breathable Pearl Grey mesh for the upper is accented with Anthracite and Light Graphite overlays. A bold Neon Yellow Swoosh with a black outline helps channel the DNA of the original 95 design, as well as highlighting the full-length Air cushioning. The design detail is the first to really grab attention; sneaker enthusiasts will recognize the homage immediately.

You’ll also find reflective accents, “MAX AIR” branding, and a rugged outsole with BRS 1000 traction pods. The combination of modern design and familiar nostalgia makes for a strong update that Air Max collectors will appreciate.

The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “Neon” releases Fall 2025 for $180 at Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike KD 18 Continues The Heartfelt “B.A.D.” Series

The Nike KD 18 “B.A.D.” is a heartfelt nod to Kevin Durant’s late grandmother, Barbara A. Davis. As the initials form the KD 18 “B.A.D.” name, it’s one of his most emotional signature shoes.

Durant has shared the stories and significance of the namesake for each “B.A.D.” since 2022. A common theme throughout is the impact of his grandmother and other family women. In terms of aesthetics, the previous releases focused heavily on the color purple.

Durant’s latest pair opens the colorway to include a lavender base, Fire Pink accents, and warm Hemp tan overlays. The color mix is unique, vivid, and colorful. It offers up new visuals for Durant’s ongoing story while taking the series into new directions. To further pay homage to his grandmother, check out small but significant details like the “B.A.D.” embroidery at the heel.

The Nike KD 18 “B.A.D.” will be available on October 1, 2025, for $115 at Nike.com and select retailers.
