Hilary Duff Joins Reebok as Brand Ambassador

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Hilary Duff has joined the Reebok family, bringing one of the most recognizable names from the early 2000s into the brand’s current lineup of ambassadors.

The partnership kicks off with Reebok’s new “Unfiltered & Unstoppable” campaign, which features Duff wearing a mix of current and upcoming performance apparel. The move also gives Reebok someone who still carries plenty of nostalgia from her “Lizzie McGuire” days while continuing to stay relevant with a new generation of fans.

Duff said the partnership made sense because of Reebok’s focus on individuality and personal style. She also pointed to wearing what makes her feel comfortable and confident, whether she’s spending time with family, staying active, or simply moving through her day.

More from the Hilary Duff and Reebok partnership is expected to be revealed as the campaign continues.

Carlos Alcaraz Debuts Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Vapor 12 Tennis Shoe

By
Mario Briguglio

Carlos Alcaraz gave us an early look at the Travis Scott x Cactus Jack x Nike Zoom Vapor 12 HC “Pale Ivory/Cacao Wow” while playing at the US Open. The upcoming tennis shoe was spotted on court during the tournament, giving fans their best look at the collaboration so far.

The tennis shoe keeps the color palette fairly quiet, using a creamy Pale Ivory base with brown Cacao Wow accents throughout. Travis Scott’s familiar reverse Swoosh appears along the lateral side, giving the performance model an immediate Cactus Jack connection without changing the overall look too much.

Alcaraz wore the pair on court at Arthur Ashe Stadium, putting the unreleased colorway in front of a much bigger audience. Nike has also started teasing the collaboration through a new campaign narrated by Travis Scott, which includes the Zoom Vapor 12 alongside matching gradient-style apparel.

The shoe is part of a wider push into performance footwear for Travis Scott and Nike. While most of their recent work has centered around lifestyle releases and Scott’s signature models, the Zoom Vapor 12 brings his design language into tennis. Travis was also recently seen wearing the upcoming Air Force 1 “Ice Blue”, another pair that was previewed alongside the Vapor 12 earlier this summer.

The Travis Scott x Cactus Jack x Nike Zoom Vapor 12 HC “Pale Ivory/Cacao Wow” is available now at the 47 Chrystie St. pop-up in New York City as part of the Cactus Court collection. The full lineup will also release online through Cactus Jack on September 4th, with the Zoom Vapor 12 priced at $170.

Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 “Laser” May Be Limited to 1,000 Pairs

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Yuto Horigome has another Nike SB Air Force 1 on the way, this time with a more detailed “Laser” treatment that may end up being one of the harder pairs to get. The Japanese skater already has a grey colorway expected during Holiday 2026, while this newly surfaced version is rumored to be limited to only 1,000 pairs.

The shoe gets its “Laser” nickname from the etched artwork spread across the forefoot and heel. Floral graphics, including cherry blossom-inspired details, are worked directly into the upper and give the mostly white and red colorway a much different look up close. The release also fits into Nike’s larger run of “Laser” sneakers alongside upcoming versions of the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 1 Low OG, and Air Force 1.

Horigome adds several personal touches throughout the design. His lucky number seven appears on the left heel tab in Old English lettering, while “Yuto” replaces the usual “Air” branding along the midsole. Japanese characters are used on the tongue, with custom insoles and metal lace dubraes adding a few more details. Nubuck and mesh make up most of the upper, continuing the material setup seen on his other Nike SB Air Force 1.

A release date for the Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Air Force 1 “Laser” has yet to be announced. The pair is currently expected to arrive in late 2026 or early 2027, with rumors suggesting production could be capped at just 1,000 pairs.

Mason Tiniuc

UPDATE 8/31/26: The Nike LeBron Witness 9 Bronny PE “Midnight Navy” is now available on Nike.com for $115.

Original Story 8/29/26:
Bronny James is getting another Nike LeBron Witness 9 of his own, this time in a dark “Midnight Navy” colorway made for the Lakers guard. The pair continues his run of player exclusives on LeBron James’ budget signature model, complete with the custom “b9” branding that has shown up on Bronny’s previous versions.

Most of the upper is covered in Midnight Navy, with swirling graphics running from the toe through the side panels and around the heel. The pattern gives the shoe a navy-to-purple look in certain areas, while two reverse Swooshes break things up on the sides. One is done in black, and the other mixes neon yellow with pink.

More pink appears on Bronny’s logo near the tongue and on the “b9” branding at the heel. A translucent outsole finishes the bottom, with black detailing adding another darker hit to the overall design.

The Nike LeBron Witness 9 Bronny PE “Midnight Navy” is expected to release August 31, 2026 for $115.

Detailed Look at the Fly Streetwear x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “University Gold”

By
Mason Tiniuc

UPDATE 8/31/26: New photos of the Fly Streetwear x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “Photon Dust/University Gold” are now out. They give us a better look at the off-white suede upper, along with the University Gold Swoosh and matching details. Fly Streetwear branding is also visible on the heel. The pair is expected to release during Holiday 2026, between October and December.

Original Story 8/3/26:
Fly Streetwear is getting another run with Nike SB after its “Gardenia” Dunk Low from 2023. For the follow-up, the Shanghai shop is leaving the Dunk behind and moving over to the Nike SB Air Force 1 Low.

The pair comes dressed in Photon Dust with University Gold handling most of the contrast. Gold suede Swooshes run along the sides, while the same shade shows up on the tongue branding, heel tabs, and outsole. A white midsole keeps the look from feeling too heavy, and a small Fly Streetwear patch near the lateral heel adds the main shop-specific detail.

The Fly Streetwear x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “Photon Dust/University Gold” is expected to release during Holiday 2026 through select skate shops and Nike.com. Men’s sizing will be priced at $120.

Melitta Baumeister Previews Nike Rift Rocker Pack For Holiday 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Melitta Baumeister is teaming up with Nike again after her first sneaker project became one of the surprise hits of the spring. The New York designer previously worked on the Vomero Premium and Pegasus Premium, covering both running shoes with hand-painted black markings over bright orange and green colorways. The pairs sold out quickly, leading Nike to bring them back through a later pre-order release.

Her next project moves away from Nike Running and digs into the brand’s archive. Early teaser images point to a new version of the Air Rift, with the familiar split toe and strap setup visible through the distorted artwork used to introduce the collaboration.

The shoe is being called the Nike Rift Rocker, and while a full look has not surfaced yet, the biggest change appears to be underfoot. Teasers show a much thicker sole with a curved rocker shape, along with sections of Nike’s classic waffle traction. The upper is still mostly hidden, so more details should become clear once official images arrive.

The Melitta Baumeister x Nike Rift Rocker Pack is expected to release during Holiday 2026 in Black and Yukon Brown. Both colorways will come in unisex sizing and retail for $220 through Melitta Baumeister, Nike, and select retailers.

Kith x adidas Samba “Denim” Now Available

By
Mason Tiniuc

UPDATE 8/31/26: The Kith x adidas Samba “Denim” is now available on Kith.com for $120.

Original Story 8/25/26:
Kith and adidas are working denim into the Samba for Fall 2026, trading the usual leather and suede for two washed shades across the upper. The shape is left alone, so most of the change comes from the materials.

Bleached white denim runs through the side panels and Three Stripes, with light blue denim used on the T-toe, eyestays, tongue, heel, and collar. Cream laces sit over the top, while the gum sole keeps the familiar Samba look underneath.

Gold Kith script takes the place of the standard Samba branding on the lateral side. adidas Trefoil logos stay on the tongue, keeping the co-branding pretty restrained while the denim does most of the work visually.

The Kith x adidas Samba “Denim” first surfaced in Kith’s Fall 2026 lookbook. A release date is set for August 31.

Nike Caitlin 1 Team USA PEs for the FIBA World Cup

By
Mario Briguglio

Caitlin Clark is getting ready to represent Team USA with two new Nike Caitlin 1 PEs made for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup. The special colorways give her signature shoe a patriotic look ahead of the tournament in Berlin.

One pair comes mostly in white with red laces and a matching sockliner. Metallic red and blue accents appear on the Swoosh, while a light icy blue outsole finishes the look. The second pair flips the setup with a red upper, dark blue laces and sockliner, white and blue Swoosh detailing, and the same icy blue treatment underfoot.

Clark is expected to wear the shoes while playing for Team USA alongside Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier, Angel Reese, and the rest of the U.S. roster.

Neither Nike Caitlin 1 Team USA PE is currently scheduled for a retail release. For now, both colorways appear to have been made exclusively for Clark.

All Points Bulletin is getting its own Air Jordan 11 Low as part of a larger run of projects connected to James Whitner and The Whitaker Group. The APB pair follows the store’s work with Nike and Jordan Brand, with several more releases expected from the group over the coming months.

The APB x Air Jordan 11 Low comes dressed mainly in Binary Blue, covering the upper and patent leather mudguard. Rust Pink accents break up the darker look with piping around the shoe and matching color near the collar.

New in-hand photos also show some of the smaller details that were harder to see before. APB branding appears on the embroidered heels, while the insoles feature different graphics and additional store branding. Underfoot, the pair uses a colorful outsole with icy sections and retro-style branding worked into the design.

APB Air Jordan 11 Low Release Date

The APB x Air Jordan 11 Low “Binary Blue” releases September 18th for $200.

New Balance 992 “Blue Gemstone” Releases Fall 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The New Balance 992 will receive another colorway this fall and it’s loaded with bright blue mesh and grey suede, with dark navy paneling throughout the upper.

Blue Gemstone runs through the mesh on the toe, midfoot, and collar, with Light Arctic Grey suede wrapping the mudguard and most of the upper. Dark navy fills in the underlays and heel, while the side “N” logos are finished in a similar dark tone with blue trim. Black laces and lining break things up, and the tongue carries blue New Balance embroidery with a 992 badge below it. “USA” branding is stitched into the heel.

A mostly black midsole gives the lower half of the shoe a much darker look, with blue accents added around the heel and forefoot. Light Arctic Grey and blue show up again on the outsole, which also includes N-Durance rubber underneath.

The New Balance 992 “Blue Gemstone” is set to release in Fall 2026 for $200.

adidas Futurecool Releases September 3 in Limited 400-Pair Drop

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

adidas is adding another 3D-printed model to its lineup with the Climacool Futurecool. It still looks futuristic, but compared to some of the brand’s earlier concepts, this one feels much closer to a regular sneaker.

The shoe is built as one printed structure with airflow worked throughout. Rubber sections around the lower portion give it a bit more protection, and the base flares out underneath to create a more familiar sole shape. There’s also an asymmetrical tongue up top, which helps the fit feel more like a standard sneaker than a full-on concept design.

The Futurecool first showed up in images from an overseas preview alongside another experimental adidas model with a sock-like inner layer and outer cage. That pair leaned further into the concept side. The Futurecool is easier to recognize as an everyday sneaker, even with the fully ventilated 3D-printed build.

The adidas Climacool Futurecool will release in an initial run of just 400 pairs through the adidas CONFIRMED app. The draw is open now, with winners set to be announced September 3, 2026. Retail is $180.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Pearl Charm “Vast Grey” Gets Ribbon Laces and Pearl Charm

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A soft suede build gives the “Vast Grey” Air Force 1 Low a different feel without changing much about the shoe itself. Sheer ribbon laces take the place of the usual set, and a removable pearl-style charm with a small Metallic Silver Swoosh adds the one detail that really separates it.

Pale Vast Grey suede runs across the toe, overlays, side panels, and Swooshes, with perforations worked into both the toe box and quarter panels. A darker Pencil Point shade appears on the heel tabs, adding just enough contrast without breaking up the mostly tonal look.

Sheer ribbon laces replace the usual flat set and give the shoe one of its more noticeable changes. A removable charm hangs from the upper eyelet, combining a pearl-like piece with a small Metallic Silver Swoosh. Grey Nike Air branding appears on the tongue, heel, and insoles to finish off the upper.

A matching Vast Grey midsole and rubber outsole keep the bottom half simple. The color carries through the entire sole, including the familiar circular Air Force 1 traction pattern underneath.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low Pearl Charm “Vast Grey” comes dressed in Vast Grey, Metallic Silver, and Pencil Point. The women’s release is scheduled for Fall 2026 and will retail for $125.

Mercedes F1 x adidas EVO SL Takes on the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 and adidas are back on the EVO SL with another release, this one connected to the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix. It follows a busy stretch for the partnership, which has already produced sneakers, apparel, and a Bad Bunny collaboration over the past year.

For the Singapore pair, the color palette comes from the Vanda orchid. Purple covers the rear of the shoe before gradually fading into white as it moves toward the toe, giving the lightweight runner a much softer look than the darker motorsport-inspired releases we usually see. Bright teal then comes in across the Three Stripes and several of the smaller branding details.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 and adidas logos appear on the tongues and heels, keeping the collaboration easy to spot without taking over the design. The EVO SL itself keeps its familiar streamlined build, so most of the attention stays on the gradient finish and the mix of purple, white, and teal.

A matching apparel collection will also release alongside the shoe, using the same colors seen throughout the sneaker. That gives the Singapore Grand Prix project a full head-to-toe lineup rather than making the EVO SL a standalone drop.

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 x adidas EVO SL is available now for $160 through adidas.com ahead of the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.

In-Hand Look at the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Coals”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Coals” takes its name pretty literally. Built around the old Christmas tradition of giving coal to someone on the naughty list, the shoe comes mostly in black with green and purple worked into the design.

The theme also fits naturally into the history of the Kobe 6. Kobe Bryant wore the original “Grinch” on Christmas Day in 2010, and that pair went on to become one of the most popular releases from his signature line. The “Coals” keeps the holiday connection, but takes the design in a completely different direction.

Black covers most of the scaled upper, while green and purple details break up the darker base. The Swoosh uses Venom Green and Purple Venom, adding the brightest part of the design along the sides. Glossy black panels wrap around the heel, and the translucent outsole mixes green and purple underneath.

Nike Kobe 6 Protro Coals Release Date

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Coals” is expected to release in December 2026 for $190. Look for the pair to be available through Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers. Check out the latest in-hand photos below.

Every Sneaker We’ve Seen in Grand Theft Auto 6

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Rockstar Games has slipped a lot of familiar sneakers into Grand Theft Auto 6 already. The new 27-minute Extended Look gives a better look at several of them, with designs that clearly pull from Nike, Jordan Brand and Vans. A few others were spotted earlier in promotional images.

Lucia has been shown in a graffiti-covered mid-top that looks a lot like the Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Graffiti” from 2022. Another image tied to Real Dimez appears to show someone in the background wearing the Air Jordan 1 High “Chicago.”

The Air Jordan 1 keeps popping up in different forms. One character outside Lucia and Jason’s apartment is wearing a pair that resembles the “UNC Obsidian,” while Dre’Quan Priest is pictured in an Eris-branded high-top that looks close to the “Heritage.” There is also a white and red version in the Extended Look that does not seem to match an actual Jordan 1 release.

Eris, the fictional sneaker brand used throughout the Grand Theft Auto series, gets a few recognizable designs of its own. One background character is wearing a shoe that follows the shape of the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2, Andre Agassi’s classic tennis model. The colorway is different, but the inspiration is pretty clear.

A silver sneaker near the beginning of the footage looks a lot like the Nike Air Max 97 “Silver Bullet.” The details are a little different, but the shape and layered upper make it pretty obvious what Rockstar was going for.

The Air Force 1 Low shows up more than once too. One version comes in white and blue, while Jason later changes into another pair with a white upper and gum outsole before meeting Brian. That scene gives one of the better close-up looks at the in-game footwear so far.

Jason has also been wearing a blue slip-on that closely resembles the Vans Classic Slip-On. That pair was visible in earlier GTA 6 material and shows up again during the scene where he breaks into a car.

None of these appear to be official collaborations. Rockstar has changed the branding and adjusted some of the details, but the real-world sneaker references are still easy to recognize.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to release November 19, 2026. More sneaker references will likely surface once the full game is out and players can explore Leonida beyond what Rockstar has shown in trailers and promotional images.

Rare Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” Sample Surfaces

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Before a Jordan release ever reaches stores, there are usually a few sample versions made along the way. Some never get past that stage, and those are often the pairs collectors end up chasing the hardest. This 2015 Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” is one of them.

The pair comes from @heat.forya.feet on Instagram, who says the 2015 looksee sample is rumored to be limited to just three pairs.

The shoe keeps things dark with an all-black upper made from mesh and the Air Jordan 11’s signature patent leather. A black midsole continues the tonal look, while the outsole stays in the same dark range. Infrared gives the pair its only real pop of color, showing up along the sockliner and on the Jumpman branding.

It’s a simple colorway, but one that works well on the Air Jordan 11 Low. The mix of black patent leather and Infrared also gives it a familiar Jordan feel without doing too much.

For now, the Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” remains a sample, and there are no known plans for a retail release. Still, we’ve seen Jordan Brand bring old samples and unreleased ideas back years later, so it’s hard to completely rule this one out.

If it ever does make it to stores, this feels like a colorway that could fit right into the lineup. Until then, check out the rare 2015 sample photos below.
