Air Jordan 2/3 Surfaces in “Knicks” Colorway

The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample has surfaced, giving fans a look at what might have been the cleanest version yet. The Jordan 2/3 hybrid hasn’t gained much traction compared to other recent mash-ups like the Spiz’ike Low or Jordan 4 RM. Only four colorways have released in 2025 so far, most hitting discounts within weeks. This Knicks-inspired sample, originally targeted for Spring 2025, feels like it could have shifted that story.

The pair features a low-cut Air Jordan 2 upper dressed in white leather, detailed with orange piping and bold blue lining. Underfoot, the Jordan 3 sole unit appears in Sail, accented by blue around the heel for contrast. Knicks colors on Jordans always bring mixed feelings. New Yorkers remember the ’90s battles with Michael Jordan, when the Bulls repeatedly crushed the Knicks’ playoff hopes. Some die-hard Knicks fans even avoided Jordans altogether, instead rocking Patrick Ewing’s own line.

Still, there’s no denying that a Knicks colorway always sparks attention in New York City. The look carries both nostalgia and irony, making this unreleased hybrid one of the more interesting samples from Jordan Brand in recent years.

Whether the Jordan 2/3 Knicks ever sees a drop remains uncertain. Reports point to a planned Spring 2025 release, but it never made it past the sample stage. Collectors will be watching closely in case Jordan Brand decides to revisit the design.

The Air Jordan 2/3 “Knicks” Sample is not confirmed for release. Stay tuned for updates if retail plans change.

Jordan Dub Zero “Motorsports Laser” Sample Surfaces

Back in 2005, Jordan Brand dropped the Dub Zero. A mash-up built from the Air Jordan 4, 6, and 11. Fans still argue about it. What nobody forgets are the etched panels. That detail gave the shoe its own lane during mid-2000s Jordan experiments.

Now a “Motorsports Laser” Sample has surfaced. White tumbled leather runs the base. Black trim sharpens the edges. And those laser graphics? They cover both sides, bold as ever. Look once—you’ll spot them instantly. A visible Air unit in the heel and sculpted midsole keep the hybrid DNA alive. Clean lines. Strong presence.

Inside, the tag reads “SP25.” Spring 2025 was the target. Whether it ever hits stores, who knows. Jordan Brand samples get delayed. Some never make it. That risk is part of the Dub Zero story. Which, honestly, makes this pair more interesting. Collectors who once ignored the Dub Zero are starting to circle back.

Right now, it’s just a look at what could have been. If Jordan Brand pushes it through, hybrid fans will jump. If not, this pair stays a reminder of one of Jordan’s boldest experiments.

The Jordan Dub Zero “Motorsport Laser” is not confirmed for release. Updates will follow if plans change.

Though it doesn’t mirror the original pair exactly, the new design leans heavily on the same bold attitude.

Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone” Now Available (August 2025)

UPDATE 8/20/25: The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 4/2/25:
Jordan Brand is ready to spice up the Summer 2025 season with the Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone”, a fresh take inspired by the upcoming Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone” release. Though it’s not a direct match, the color blocking hints at Travis Scott’s fan-favorite “Mocha” AJ1.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid pairs smooth white leather with dark chocolate suede overlays, while black and brown tones alternate on the collar and Swoosh. A vibrant touch comes in the form of pink sock liners and yellow tongues, which add warmth and energy. An aged midsole and black rubber outsole seal the vintage vibe.

This colorway is another sign that Jordan Brand is stepping back from strict color-matching across retro drops and instead leaning into creative new palettes—offering something that feels both nostalgic and new.

The Air Jordan 1 Mid “Cave Stone” is expected to drop on August 20, 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and on Nike.com. It will be available in men’s sizing, with a retail price of $140 USD.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Switches Up Materials With This “Corduroy” Pack

Nike is giving the Air Force 1 Low a textured treatment with the all-over corduroy remake coming for Fall 2025.

The “Washed Coral” edition comes in a dusty pink base, with accents of beige pebbled leather on the Swoosh and heel tab for a toned-down, easy-living look. The “Baroque Brown” pack, on the other hand, opts for a darker brown base, and tan leather accents to bring out the vintage aspect of the design.

Nike Shox TL “Black/University Gold” Brings Back 2000s Energy

The Nike Shox TL is making a high-impact return, bringing back a silhouette that was one of the most popular at the start of the 2000s.

With a futuristic aesthetic and easily recognizable cushioning pillars, the Shox line was for a time Nike’s most performance-minded and streetwear-approved footwear. This forthcoming colorway is no different, offering a sleek combination of stealth and bravado.

Grounded in black mesh, the shoe’s upper is layered with glossy TPU cages that form ribbed frame around the rest of the shoe. Highlights of University Gold adorn the side Swooshes, lace loops, tongue branding and contrast lining at the heel of the shoe.

Accenting the shoe further are reflective elements on the laces and the immediately recognizable Shox columns in black on the midsole.

The Nike Shox TL “Black/University Gold” will release Fall 2025 and will retail for $170 on Nike.com and select retail partners.

Nike Air Flight 89 Returns in White With Green Accents

Nike is bringing back the Air Flight 89 in Fall 2025, and retro basketball heads are drooling over the return.

The Flight 89 originally came to life in the late ‘80s, and it was well-known for being an Air Jordan 4 cousin. The family resemblance was no accident, and sneakerheads who sought a “Jordan quality” design without a silhouette they’d seen a million times were all over the sneaker.

This new release sticks to the formula. A slick white leather upper is complemented by forest green overlays for the Swoosh, piping, midsole, and outsole. Perforations on the toe box and quarters add breathability, and the visible Air cushioning in the heel provides a modern comfort boost. The sail-tinted midsole also complements the design, and its slight aged look fits the retro mold perfectly.

The Nike Air Flight 89 “White/Green” releases Fall 2025 for $140 through Nike.com and select retailers.
