Nike Book 1 “What The” Releases December 2025 Limited To 1,996 Pairs

By
Mario Briguglio

UPDATE 10/15/25: New detailed shots of the Nike What The Book 1 that’s scheduled to release December 16th, 2025 limited to 1,996 units. The shoe blends design elements from previous colorways.

Original Story 9/26/25:
Devin Booker is bidding farewell to his first signature sneaker with the Nike Book 1 “What The”. The exclusive one-off colorway, limited to 1,996 pairs, both nods to Booker’s birth year and the near two-year-long legacy of storytelling.

Booker initially showed off the pair at Suns Media Day, but fans got a first look at the sneakers ahead of Booker finally lacing them up for the first time on the court. The “What The” motif itself has long been a Nike staple, dating back to the 2007 What The Dunk, and it serves as a natural landing place for a mashup of aspects from previous colorways. With close to 30 Book 1 releases and several PEs in the collection’s history, the ideas for this one were abundant.

The left shoe pulls details from Safari mudguards, Chevy-inspired golden suede toes, Sedona graphics, reptile textures, and Halloween stitching. It even features nods to the ’95 All-Star laces, “Moss Point” lettering, and a Sunset outsole. The right shoe carries denim panels from “Blue Blood,” Flagstaff map prints, Desert Camo tongues, rainbow collars, and snakeskin overlays, all tied together with a “1 of 1996” heel tag. That’s the detail collectors will remember most.

The “What The Book” is not just a shoe, it is the end of an era for Book 1. Fierce patchwork, storytelling in layers and a limited release make this a collectors item before the release of the Nike Book 2 in Spring 2026.

Nike What The Book 1 Release Date

The Nike Book 1 “What The” will launch December 16, 2025, with only 1,996 pairs available worldwide. The retail price tag is set at $170 USD. Keep an eye out for more release information.

Pokémon x PUMA Suede “Mewtwo” Releases October 25th Exclusively in Las Vegas

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Pokémon is back in the sneaker world, and this time they’re teaming up with PUMA. The latest addition to their sneaker collection is a Suede inspired by the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo. The psychic-type juggernaut takes over PUMA’s most recognizable silhouette, melding old-school vibes with anime-kissed details.

The Pokémon x PUMA Suede “Mewtwo” is finished in regal hues of purple, making a clear nod to the Pokémon itself. A dusty lavender suede upper is contrasted by darker violet accents across the Formstrip and the lining. Jagged lightning bolts run across the sides to capture Mewtwo’s electricity, and translucent soles allow glimpses of “ミュウツー” (Japanese name) below. Metallic Mewtwo hangtag and custom heel stamp work add collector-adjacent detailing to the pair as well.

This drop is separate from the previous Pokémon x PUMA 2022 releases which saw Pikachu and Bulbasaur. Here, Mewtwo is given more premium and distilled treatment to shine on its own. In fact, reports indicate the box itself will have interactive features, further ratcheting up the exclusivity of this high-end drop.

We’ll take that as a feature both sneakerheads and Pokémon fans will value — a bridging of the brand’s heritage with fan service that feels truly unique.

Pokemon PUMA Suede Mewtwo Release Date

The Pokémon x PUMA Suede “Mewtwo” releases October 25, 2025 exclusively at PUMA’s Las Vegas Flagship Store and is priced at $300 USD.

Expect this one to sell out in a flash, especially with its limited release and premium presentation.

UPDATE 10/15/25: Official photos of the Nike A’One “Candy Corn Queen” in adult sizes were added below. The shoes release October 22nd, 2025 directly on Nike.com just in-time for Halloween.

Original Story 10/11/25:
The latest Nike A’One “Candy Corn Queen” pays homage to Halloween while remaining true to Aja Wilson’s style.

The gradient upper in White, Chrome Yellow, and Safety Orange channels the tri-layered confectionery treat synonymous with Halloween, and is a storytelling colorway that sneakerheads can’t get enough of—simple, yet nostalgic and impactful.

The glossy orange Swooshes add sweetness, as do the embossed, written autograph from Aja Wilson on the heel tab. The sculpted midsole and translucent outsole balance performance with the ombré fade that sneakerheads are craving. Nike’s product designers obviously had fun with this colorway as it toes the line between playful, and performance-driven.

Responsive foam cushioning and multidirectional traction unite for balance between court control and everyday comfort for those looking to bridge the gap between both.

The Nike A’One “Candy Corn Queen” releases October 22, 2025, on Nike.com and at select retailers for $115 USD.

FIRST LOOK: Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Floral Swoosh” (2026)

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Jordan Brand continues to pivot towards spring, giving the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Floral Swoosh” a seasonally influenced makeover on the MJ-era classic. The upper on this OG AJ1 boasts natural elements across its construction, turning its attention to flora-inspired additions.

The attention-grabbing element is, of course, the shoe’s namesake, the floral Swoosh. Embroidered on both sides, individual leaves, flowers, and branches twist and overlap, even incorporating hints of butterfly or angel wings. Layered across each panel, the motif adds to a diaphanous collage effect, emerging against the Sail base leather on the upper in contrast with off-white overlays and the lightly translucent Coconut Milk sole unit below.

An artful progression on the AJ1 formula. Floral patterns have previously hit on non-OG 1s and the Dunk Low, but this is one of only a handful of times an OG edition of the Jordan 1 has been treated to such an illustrative treatment. Jordan Brand has shown an increased interest in bridging fine art and heritage, as most recently with the Air Jordan 4 “Cozy Girl” and Jordan 5 “Wings”.

It’s a style of risk that sneakerheads take notice of, a wink at luxury with an eye on hoops.

Air Jordan 1 Low Floral Swoosh Release Date

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Floral Swoosh” will release March 7, 2026, via Jordan Brand and Nike.com for $165 USD.

UPDATE 10/15/25: Here is a first look at the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Medium Olive” courtesy of @sneaker_sample on IG. A release date is scheduled for January 31st, 2026 available in family sizing.

Original Story 4/3/25:
Jordan Brand continues its momentum with a fresh low-top release. The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Medium Olive” will join the Spring 2026 collection, bringing earthy tones and clean details.

This colorway features a balanced palette of Medium Olive, Black, Summit White, and Sail. White leather appears on the base and toe box for a crisp start. Medium Olive suede covers the toe, eyestays, and heel for a soft contrast.

Black adds a bold touch to the Swoosh, laces, and tongue labels. Meanwhile, the Wings logo on the heel also arrives in black. These dark hits provide sharp contrast against the soft white and olive.

The sneaker finishes with a Sail midsole and an Olive rubber outsole. This gives the pair a vintage look that fans of Travis Scott colorways will appreciate.

While this design isn’t a collaboration, it gives off the same energy. Its earthy tones and simple blocking make it a versatile daily option. The AJ1 Low OG also continues to grow in popularity thanks to its timeless shape.

Air Jordan 1 Low OG Olive 2026 Release Date

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Medium Olive” will release on January 31, 2026. Expect it at select Jordan Brand retailers and online at Nike.com. The retail price is set at $145 USD.

To sum it up, this pair blends fresh tones with heritage vibes. With its neutral colorway and classic shape, it’s set to be a strong addition to any sneaker rotation.

Nike is doubling down on the recovery shoe category, unveiling the Nike Mind 001 in an upcoming “Solar Red” colorway. An outré take on comfort science meets futuristic design and style.

In the form of an eye-catching sculpted shape in Solar Red, Chrome, Hyper Crimson and Black, the Mind 001 is for the after-performance moments. The sneaker uses an innovative pressure system with spherical pods across the outsole. The pods subtly rise into the footbed with each step, providing a gentle massage that adjusts to your step. Inside the insole, textured dots map the placement of the pods for a full sensory effect.

Nike has dotted design cues from its Sport Research Lab (NSRL) across the shoe, reinforcing its place in science-led recovery footwear. Seamless one-piece upper with micro-perforation, metallic Swoosh and a futuristic profile that balances performance and lifestyle.

After the Calm Slide and ISPA, the Nike Mind 001 is the next stage in Nike’s off-court comfort collections.

The New Balance 9060 “Black/Red” is a contemporary update that channels retro Bred vibes for the streets.

Bold sneakers that blend the brand’s running history with attitude-laden basketball red, this pair is classic nostalgia in fresh form.

New Balance 1000 “Black/Blue” Returns With Retro Tech Style

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The New Balance 1000 “Black/Blue” is a welcome comeback for one of the brand’s most underrated silhouettes. Debuted in the late ’90s, the trainer was an ode to Y2K performance aesthetics that we are now seeing re-emerge in lifestyle sneakers.

For this update, New Balance layers black leather and breathable mesh, lifted with metallic silver accents and vibrant blue color blocking. The oversized “1000” embroidery and the brand’s signature “N” logo are on point for technical sneakerheads. Plus, reflective trims and the sculpted chunky midsole add functional style for street-ready comfort.

New Balance continues to blur the boundaries of sport and lifestyle with this drop, which has been a winning formula across other recent models like the 9060 and 2002R. That formula of layering performance and nostalgia? It’s why sneakerheads keep their eyes peeled for more from the 1000.

The New Balance 1000 “Black/Blue” will release Fall 2025 at a price of $150 USD via NewBalance.com and select retailers.

The adidas SL 72 “Zebra” will showcase a black-and-cream hair-textured upper, with faux zebra-striping throughout the base.

Smooth black leather overlays the Three Stripes, heel tab and eyestay to deliver a ton of high-contrast style that heightens the retro appeal. The shoe’s vintage vibes continue with the red-trimmed white midsole and gum outsole.

Refined gold-foil branding on the heel and texturized tongue are classic “Three Stripe” details with a contemporary upgrade that’ll appeal to today’s lifestyle athletes. While the silhouette nods to the adidas SL 72’s 1970s running heritage, the zebra patterning boldly modernizes the shoe.

The adidas SL 72 “Zebra” will launch Fall 2025 at adidas.com and selected retailers.

Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Better With Time” Sample Surfaces

By
Mario Briguglio
-

This unreleased Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Better With Time” Sample from 2023 has resurfaced for sneakerheads to gaze at in awe. Posted by @davidsgrails on Instagram, this rare high-top would’ve preceded the 2025 Air Jordan 1 Low “Better With Time” but never saw the light of day as just a sample.

The high-top is constructed with a distressed black leather upper, off-white distressed Swooshes, and antiqued midsoles, which are perched on a maroon outsole. Small embroidered Swooshes are placed on both sides of the lateral toe boxes. On the collar, there is an inside embroidery referencing Sylvester’s cycling history which reads, “Jordan Biking Co. Est. 2017.” The bumps, creases, scuffs, and bleached panels further continue the narrative of Nigel’s “lived in” aesthetic.

In stark contrast to the 2018 “Sail” release, this pair swaps the colorway – exchanging white for black with a similar distressed look. Finding a sweet spot between the 2018 high and 2025 low, it begs the question if Jordan Brand erred by shelving this release.

For the time being at least, the sample will have to be just that – a historical artifact of sneaker culture – evidence that Nigel Sylvester’s collaboration with Jordan Brand is only growing in stature, just like his signature style of storytelling: “Better With Time.”

The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” is a showstopper thanks to a Court Purple upper and iridescent Swoosh.

A nod to the northern lights, the color-shifting logo blinks in hues of pink, gold and blue–adding an otherworldly sheen to Devin Booker’s first signature shoe.

The Book 1 is a signature line that Nike is expanding with further storytelling. This shoe is a prime example with breathable mesh and durable leather overlays. A blend of both materials, they provide a winning combination of style and performance. The FlyEase-adjustable bootie silhouette and bold color scheme is offset by the cool tones of a Sail midsole and outsole.

Moving to the interior, supportive performance tech ensures it’s a sneaker that’s always game-ready. Cushlon 2.0 foam midsole and TPU sidewalls ensure plush comfort and on-cushion support.

The Nike Book 1 “Aurora” releases November 7, 2025, and will cost $145 USD at Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retail partners.

Nike World Headquarters Renamed Philip H. Knight Campus

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike today announced that the company’s World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon will officially be known as the Philip H. Knight Campus. The new name honors Nike co-founder and Chairman Emeritus Phil Knight, and marks the first time in the campus’ 35-year history that its name has changed. The move is a testament to the lasting legacy of Knight’s belief in building an audacious brand and taking risks on innovative ideas that have built Nike into the global cultural institution it is today.

The rechristening of Nike’s flagship campus was announced by President and CEO Elliott Hill in an address to employees, on the one-year anniversary of his appointment to the role. In his letter to employees, Hill underscored that the campus renaming is more than just a change of name: it is a reflection of the same spirit of curiosity, questioning and determination that Knight and his original team of designers and collaborators brought to the company’s creation. “This is who we are,” Hill wrote in his letter. “This is the story of what happens when belief and action meet.”

The campus opened in 1990 and has since housed Nike’s R&D, design, brand and corporate teams. Occupying 400 acres in Beaverton, Oregon, the original campus is known for its moniker, “The Shoe Campus”, and includes building names that honor Nike-adjacent athletes that have been pivotal in Nike’s history and success, such as Michael Jordan, Steve Prefontaine, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Serena Williams, and LeBron James.

Over the next year, the Philip H. Knight Campus name will be updated on wayfinding, branding, and internal materials. A campus dedication ceremony will be held in Spring 2026.

Rick Owens x Dr. Martens Fall 2025 Collection Brings Bold Platform Boots To Life

Rick Owens has teamed up with Dr. Martens for Fall 2025 in a collection of three boots crafted in waxed black leather.

All three pairs rest on the audacious Quad platform sole, merging Owens’ gothic aesthetic with Dr. Martens’ punk attitude. Of note is the 1B60 Pentalace Boot which is knee-high and comes with a pentagram-inspired lace-up that encircles the whole upper.

The 1460 Megalace Boot reinterprets Dr. Martens’ flagship silhouette with elongated pearl laces that pass through metal eyelets. This lends an art-meets-industrial feel while retaining the original 1460’s tough spirit.

The third and final style is an updated take on Dr. Martens’ steel-toe that combines traditional workwear resilience with show-stopping wraparound laces. Each model also has side-zip entry, tall geometric tongues, and co-branded AirWair heel loops for added convenience and visual impact.

MENACE x adidas Superstar Honors LA Culture and Latino Heritage

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

adidas Originals has teamed up with Los Angeles streetwear brand MENACE to bring a fresh take on the Superstar.

Featuring textured suede uppers with embossed paisley designs, denim Three Stripes and high-end stitching, the new Superstar draws on Mena’s working-class background. The navy heel features embroidered “M” branding and is contrasted with the pink satin lining as a personal tribute to Mena’s mother and her favorite flower, the rose.

Pink itself is a reference to the mattresses Mena slept on as a child, and these personal details find their way into the narrative in subtle, emotional ways.

In addition to the shoe, the collaboration includes a short film directed by Mena himself, starring LAFC’s Denis Bouanga and LA Galaxy’s Riqui Puig.

The MENACE x adidas Superstar will be available October 21, 2025 via adidas.com and select retailers for $130 USD.
