18 East x KEEN Jasper Zionic Pack Available Now

Apr 18, 2026

Introducing the newest edition to KEEN’s steady stream of killer collaborations. By teaming up with other likeminded brands and stylish communities, KEEN has been building some serious momentum as of late with clever story telling centered around some of their flagship footwear. Continuing down that road, the 18 East x KEEN Jasper Zionic pack sharpens up the silhouette with luxurious fabrics, multidimensional textures, and mirrored embroidery that brings the upper to life.

The black colorway takes the bolder route. Hairy suede wraps the mudguard and heel, while reflective stitched graphics spread across the upper for a look that feels technical and rugged. A tonal black midsole and aggressive outsole keep the shoe grounded in trail function, and the side-mounted rope lace detail adds an extra hit of utility-driven design.

Styled down in softer tones, the “Abbey Stone/Mermaid” pair leans towards pastel beige hues and washed olive greens. Embroidered graphics add more dimension to the upper while suede overlays provide a rich feel as opposed to basic. An olive hued sole unit completes the look, allowing for an organic outdoor vibe that pairs nicely.

Both pairs do a good job blending everyday wear with trail-ready character, which is exactly why this collaboration works. The 18 East x KEEN Jasper Zionic pack is available now through KEEN, 18 East, and select retailers for $170.

Sashiko Gals x New Balance 993 Turns 1 Hotel Tokyo Into A Sneaker Gallery

Apr 18, 2026

The latest Sashiko Gals x New Balance 993 project was created as a special installation for 1 Hotel Tokyo, where the handcrafted pairs are now on display in the property’s signature 38th-floor lobby. Rather than arriving through a normal retail rollout, this project was built to reflect the hotel’s sustainability-driven identity, giving the classic Made in USA runner a more artistic and story-rich presentation.

Each pair stands out through visible hand-stitching, layered textile panels, and patchwork details that bring Sashiko Gals’ signature approach to the New Balance 993. The mix of traditional repair-inspired techniques and premium New Balance construction gives the shoe a one-off feel, while the earthy setting at 1 Hotel Tokyo adds even more depth to the presentation. From the exposed stitching to the fabric swaps, the design leans heavily into craft, reuse, and Japanese textile influence.

The pairs will remain showcased at the hotel for about six months, making the installation itself the main event. That also means most fans will only get to see this Sashiko Gals New Balance 993 through images, since there is no wider launch planned.

Only 10 pairs were made available earlier this month through a Japan-exclusive custom order.

New Balance 991v2 “London Marathon” Combines Premium Craftsmanship With Race-Day Flavor

Apr 18, 2026

New Balance continues to align itself closely with the London Marathon, and the connection doesn’t go unnoticed with this special-edition 991v2. As one of the race’s major sponsors, the brand wanted to do more than dress runners for the big day. Instead, New Balance crafted a Made in UK release that fully represents the spirit of one of the largest races on the calendar.

The New Balance 991v2 “London Marathon” sports a bold combination of teal green, aqua blue, and neon pink. Suede overlays are used to ground the pair in the high-end aesthetic the 991v2 is known for, but instead of the standard mesh underlays, NB went another direction. Thicker synthetic material was used on the toe box and side panels of the shoe, utilizing a crosshatch pattern that helps it feel more technical than your average inline offering.

Neon pink branding brings the loudest contrast on the sneaker. The outlined “N” logo on the side panels stands out immediately, while matching pink New Balance branding lands on the tongue. LDN detailing at the lateral heel gives the marathon theme a direct nod, and the insoles continue that story with London Marathon branding printed in bright pink.

The result is one of the more interesting 991v2 colorways tied to a major event this year. It keeps the familiar Made in UK quality intact, but the material swap and marathon-specific details help it feel more purposeful than a simple themed edition.

The New Balance 991v2 “London Marathon” is currently listed to release on April 23, 2026 through New Balance UK.

New Balance TF100 Debuts in Black And Brown With Junya Watanabe Collab

By

Mason Tiniuc

Apr 18, 2026

New Balance’s TF100 is beginning to find its own identity sporting a technical meets fashion-forward design. The standout detail of the shoe is the contoured FuelCell midsole separated into two parts leaving an open panel through the midfoot. This design element provides a more aggressive aesthetic and the outsole takes this a step further with a molded rubber wrap around the forefoot and lateral aspect of the shoe as well as an individual pod at the heel.

New Balance has already begun rolling out the TF100 in both inline and collaborative form. Standard black and brown pairs keep things clean with a layered mix of suede, leather, and mesh, while reflective cutout “N” logos give the upper a sharper finish. Junya Watanabe’s take moves in a more refined direction by replacing the suede side panels with leather and switching the cutout branding for a simpler line-art “N.”

That contrast helps show how flexible the TF100 platform can be. The inline pairs lean into modern sport style with more texture and depth, while the Junya Watanabe collaboration strips things back for a sleeker, more fashion-forward look. Both approaches still let the model’s bold sole design do most of the talking.

The Black New Balance TF100 is available now on New Balance’s website for $140. The Dark Brown colorway is scheduled to release on April 29th, while the Junya Watanabe collaboration has already launched through select European retailers.

ASICS Gel-Kinetic 2.0 Surfaces in “Clay Grey”

By

Apr 18, 2026

The ASICS Gel-Kinetic 2.0 “Clay Grey” gives the brand’s tech-runner catalog another strong entry, pairing early-2000s running DNA with a sharper lifestyle edge. Black open mesh sets the foundation across the upper, while glossy black synthetic overlays add structure and contrast. Clay Grey panels wrap the mudguard, eyestays, collar, and midsole, giving the shoe a clean neutral balance that keeps the busier design grounded. Silver ASICS side stripes bring everything into focus and push the performance-inspired look even further.

Metallic gold details quietly elevate the color scheme without taking over the shoe. The gold shows up on the tongue branding, lace dubrae detail, outlined ASICS logos, and inside the visible GEL pods, adding just enough pop to break up the black and grey build. That small touch gives the pair a more premium finish and helps it stand apart from standard neutral runners.

The sculpted midsole is the clear focal point of the design. Clay Grey foam is paired with a glossy black support frame that surrounds the oversized visible GEL cushioning, creating a bold and futuristic shape from every angle. The heel especially stands out thanks to the dramatic tooling, while the dark grey and Clay Grey outsole keeps the look consistent underfoot.

The ASICS Gel-Kinetic 2.0 “Clay Grey” releases in Summer 2026 via ASICS.com and select retailers for $250.

Original Story 7/4/25:
The Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” is rumored to return in Summer 2026. This fan-favorite colorway last dropped in 2017 and originally debuted back in 2001.

This upcoming version is expected to stay true to the original design. It features a clean white mesh upper, Carolina blue patent leather mudguard, and icy translucent outsole. Hints of black branding complete the color scheme for a sleek and classic finish.

The UNC-inspired theme has always been a hit among collectors and casual wearers alike. Its bright tones make it ideal for summer wear, and the low-top design adds extra comfort and breathability.

With its recognizable two-tone look, the “University Blue” Jordan 11 Low joins the ranks of other UNC-style Jordan releases. The smooth mix of white and light blue pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s college roots in Chapel Hill.

Air Jordan 11 Low University Blue 2026 Release Date

Priced at $195 USD, the Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” be available on April 18, 2026 at Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. Expect a wide release with high demand as always.

Air Jordan 14 “Chartreuse” Returns January 2027

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Apr 17, 2026

The Air Jordan 14 “Chartreuse” is set to return in 2027, bringing back one of the more overlooked Jordan releases from the mid-2000s. First released in 2005, the colorway stood out for its bold mix of Light Graphite and bright Chartreuse accents, giving the model a sharper and less traditional look. With Jordan Brand continuing to revisit deeper cuts from its archive, this pair feels like a natural one to bring back.

Light Graphite suede is expected to cover most of the upper again, giving the shoe its soft, understated base. Chartreuse Green details then break through on the branding, heel, and outsole, while black works across the midsole, heel, tongue, and much of the rubber underfoot. That contrast is what made the original pair stand out, and it still feels different compared to most Air Jordan 14 releases. Early word suggests the 2027 version will stay close to the 2005 pair, though the shape is expected to be updated.

The Air Jordan 14 already carries strong history on its own. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and inspired by Michael Jordan’s love for Ferrari, the silhouette is known for its sleek lines, shield badge, and performance-driven look. It also holds extra weight because Jordan wore the model during his final championship run with the Bulls, giving every retro a little more significance.

Air Jordan 14 “Chartreuse” 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 14 “Chartreuse” is currently expected to release on January 16, 2027, through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com for $215 USD.

With its sharper color blocking and deeper-cut status, this return should easily grab the attention of longtime Jordan fans looking for something outside the usual retro rotation.

Nike Mind 001 “Pink Smoke” Releases April 30th

By

Mason Tiniuc

-

Apr 17, 2026

The Nike Mind 001 “Pink Smoke” pushes Nike deeper into the molded footwear space with a design that feels equal parts recovery mule and concept shoe. Covered in a soft Pink Smoke finish, the slip-on leans on shape and texture instead of loud color blocking. Its sculpted foam build creates a bold look, while the open-back setup keeps things easy for everyday wear.

The perforated forefoot panel brings ventilation to the upper as well, allowing the silhouette to take on a more utilitarian feel. Tubular sidewalls hug the shoe while creating a sculpted look, while vertical stripes staggered across the midfoot help to interrupt the all-white finish. The overall effect gives the Nike Mind 001 a sleek but sci-fi vibe that differentiates itself from many of its slip-on contemporaries.

Silver Swooshes cut through the design with just enough pop. One full-sized glossy Swoosh takes place on the lateral side while a smaller iteration can be found on the perforated vamp. On the interior, Nike Mind and Mind Science Department branding appear to layer in even more detail to the model, creating an eccentric feel without overdoing it.

Rounded traction pods under the outsole continue the molded look and reinforce the shoe’s comfort-driven direction. The sole unit looks unusual at first glance, but it fits the overall concept well and gives the pair a distinct visual signature.

The Nike Mind 001 “Pink Smoke” releases on April 30, 2026 for $95 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Nike Serves Up A New “Hot Curry” Air Max 95

By

Mason Tiniuc

-

Apr 17, 2026

Nike continues their inevitable drop onslaught with yet another Air Max 95 for Summer 2026. Pencil Point, Anthracite, and Light Charcoal take charge here and make the upper feel darker and ashier from head to toe. Hot Curry then lands where it needs to to brighten the sneaker right up.

The base is covered in Pencil Point mesh while the suede panels on the sides transition from light grey to the darker grey shades as you move down. That fade is still what sells this sneaker and it does it’s job here holding the shoe together. Bright orange eyelets, tongue print, and mini Swooshes near the heel tie the sneaker together with just enough color to keep your interest. No one element is crazy loud, which is probably what helps the sneaker work as well as it does.

Dark midsole and black mudguard lend the shoe a heavier appearance as soon as you look at it. Hot Curry makes an appearance on the outsole once again, while the exposed Air units also have a hint of color to them helping this sneaker have just a bit more depth to it. Speaking of materials, they look great as well. Suede looks buttery and textured, while the mesh allows for that classic breathable running feel we all love on this silhouette.

The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Hot Curry” is set to release in Summer 2026 for $190. Grab pairs through Nike.com and select retailers. Enjoy the official photos of both men’s and grade school sizing below.

Nike LeBron 23 “Motor King” Honors The Night LeBron Broke Detroit

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Apr 17, 2026

The Nike LeBron 23 “Motor King” reaches back to one of the most unforgettable moments from LeBron James’ early rise. Instead of celebrating the story from Cleveland, Miami, or Los Angeles, this pair looks at the night from Detroit’s side, where LeBron delivered one of the most iconic playoff takeovers of his career.

The inspiration comes from the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against the Pistons. At only 22 years old, LeBron took control late and scored 25 straight points to lift Cleveland to a huge road win. That stretch still stands as one of the defining performances of his career, and it marked the moment he fully stepped into superstardom.

For the design, this Nike LeBron 23 pulls from Detroit’s white uniforms, mixing a clean base with bold red and blue accents. A lenticular crown detail adds another layer to the story by shifting colors depending on the angle, giving the shoe more movement and personality.

The heel graphic strengthens the concept even more. Based on this image, it features a skull paired with crossed pistons behind it, directly tying the design back to Detroit and the “Motor King” theme. That detail gives the shoe a sharper identity and makes the storytelling feel more complete.

The Nike LeBron 23 “Motor King” is expected to release April 24, 2026 at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com. It will launch in adult and grade school sizing, priced at $210 and $165, respectively. Enjoy the official photos of both sizes below.

adidas Turns Jeremy Scott’s “Money Wings” Forum Into Football Cleats

By

Apr 17, 2026

Jeremy Scott’s adidas Forum Low “Money Wings” is about to make an unexpected jump from lifestyle icon to the football field. Set to return as a pair of U.S. football cleats, the flashy winged design keeps the playful energy of the original intact while shifting into a performance-ready format built for game day.

The upper stays true to the look that made this Jeremy Scott collaboration so recognizable in the first place. A full money-inspired graphic wraps the shoe, featuring faux U.S. dollar bill details and Scott’s portrait across the textile build. Detachable wing overlays remain attached at the midfoot, giving the cleat the same bold identity that helped turn the Forum Low into one of adidas’ most unforgettable fashion crossovers.

Studded tooling underfoot is the biggest update here, replacing the traditional basketball sole with a plate made for traction on the gridiron. That change gives the silhouette a completely different purpose, but the visual formula still leans heavily on nostalgia. adidas is clearly tapping into one of its most eccentric archival designs and giving it a fresh lane through football.

Creamy neutral tones on the sole, lining, and laces keep the loud print from feeling too chaotic, while the wings continue to do most of the talking. It is an attention-grabbing release that blends Jeremy Scott’s over-the-top design language with adidas performance in a way few cleats ever attempt.

The Jeremy Scott x adidas Forum Low “Money Wings” Football Cleats are scheduled to release on April 18, 2026 through adidas.com.

Nike GT Cut 3 PE Made For Jason Kidd And His AAU Team Revealed

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Apr 17, 2026

Nike Basketball put together a special GT Cut 3 PE for Jason Kidd, tying the pair to the girls’ AAU program that carries his name. While Kidd is now best known for coaching in the NBA, this exclusive colorway shows Nike is still finding ways to connect his legacy to the next generation of players.

The design leans into the Jason Kidd Select GBB team identity with a loud mix of neon pink, purple, black, and white. Bright pink takes over most of the upper, while purple wraps the midsole and outsole for extra contrast. White medial panels and oversized black Swooshes break up the color blocking, giving the shoe a sharp performance look that still feels built around team branding.

Personal details make this GT Cut 3 stand out even more. Kidd’s signature appears near the heel, the team logo lands on the tongue, and the insoles feature a flaming basketball graphic with “1 of 1” branding that confirms the pair’s player-exclusive status. Those touches push the shoe beyond a simple PE and make it feel like a true one-off made for the program.

In-hand images also reveal an SP25 production code, which suggests this pair was produced earlier than its public appearance might imply. That timing also explains why Nike used the now previous-generation GT Cut 3 as the base. At this point, there is no sign of a retail release, so this Jason Kidd PE looks set to remain a rare team-exclusive pair.

Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” Returns January 2027

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Apr 17, 2026

First released in February 1997, the Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” is now expected to return in 2027 as part of the colorway’s 30th anniversary. The pair debuted alongside four other OG styles, then spent years in the Jordan Brand vault before making its retro return in 2012.

1997 Air Jordan 12 Obsidian original release navy white Carolina blue — Original 1997 Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” release.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 12 drew inspiration from Japan’s Rising Sun flag. This influence appears through the signature stitched lines that radiate across the upper. The “Obsidian” edition stands out thanks to its deep navy leather base paired with clean white overlays and Carolina blue accents. Those UNC-inspired details reference Michael Jordan’s college roots and give the sneaker a refined yet sporty look.

When it first released, the “Obsidian” colorway broke away from the traditional Chicago Bulls palette that defined most early Air Jordans. Because of that, it became the only original Air Jordan 12 colorway never worn by Michael Jordan during an NBA game. Despite that distinction, the design quickly earned respect among collectors for its clean layout and versatile color blocking.

The model returned once before in June 2012, retailing for $160. A low-top variation also appeared in 2004, but the classic high-top version has not seen a wide retro release since the 2012 drop. Over time, the “Obsidian” has developed a reputation as a sought-after pair among longtime Air Jordan fans.

The Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” 2027 retro is expected to stay close to its original design. The sneaker will feature its signature navy leather upper, white mudguard, and Carolina blue accents while keeping the Rising Sun-inspired stitching intact.

Air Jordan 12 Obsidian 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 12 “Obsidian” is currently expected to return on January 23, 2027, as part of the colorway’s 30th anniversary celebration. The pair will retail for $215 USD and release through Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. More release details should surface as 2027 approaches.

Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” Returns March 2027

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Apr 17, 2026

The Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” is set to return in Spring 2027, bringing back a clean mid-2000s colorway that many Jordan fans never forgot. First released in 2005, the pair never reached the same status as the model’s original runs, but its understated blocking and easy wearability helped it gain lasting appeal over time. With wearable pairs now much harder to come by, this retro gives both longtime collectors and newer fans another shot at a quietly respected release.

White tumbled leather is expected to make up most of the upper again, keeping the shoe close to the original release. Red accents then take over the eyestays, laces, collar, tongue, and branding, while grey appears on the eyelets, liner pattern, and parts of the outsole. The “Red Steel” nickname comes from the way the color blocking echoes the classic “Steel” Air Jordan 10, only with red replacing the usual blue tone.

The Air Jordan 10 remains one of the cleaner models in the early signature line. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and first introduced in 1995, the silhouette is known for its straightforward upper and outsole that highlights Michael Jordan’s early career accomplishments. That history gives every retro a little more weight, even when the colorway comes from a later era.

Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” 2027 Release Date

The Air Jordan 10 “Red Steel” is currently expected to release on March 20, 2027 for $215 through select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.

Undefeated x Converse Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” Raffle Live

By

Mason Tiniuc

-

Apr 17, 2026

UPDATE 4/17/26: The raffle for the Undefeated x Converse Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” is now live. CLICK HERE to enter before the raffle closes on April 19th at 12 PM ET. Any remaining pairs will release on Monday, April 20, 2026, at select Undefeated stores in Los Angeles and New York.

Original Story 4/13/26:
UNDEFEATED, Converse, and Major League Baseball are teaming up on a Chuck 70 that digs into a real piece of baseball history. The “Brooklyn Dodgers” colorway looks back at the franchise before the move to Los Angeles and gives the shoe a story that feels more thoughtful than the usual team-inspired drop.

This duo takes inspiration from the Dodgers’ pre-1958 uniforms as the color black was once completely absent from their color scheme. The upper is decked out in black faux ostrich leather and the stitching and embroidery add extra definition and wear to the shoe. A large B logo patches the side, branding from Brooklyn hits the tongue and custom Converse x UNDEFEATED x Dodgers plates are added to the heel.

Baby blue branding on the inner tongue brings in that classic Dodgers look without making the whole design feel too on-the-nose. That is where the shoe gets it right. It clearly respects the past, but it still feels like something people would actually want to wear now instead of a pair built only around nostalgia.

Converse, UNDEFEATED, and MLB also gave the campaign a real New York connection by bringing in Kalil Justin, Ashley Alicea, and graffiti legend Futura. That part matters because this release is tied so closely to Brooklyn. It helps the project feel more rooted in place and less like a quick history lesson turned into a sneaker.

The UNDEFEATED x Converse Chuck 70 “Brooklyn Dodgers” is scheduled to release on Saturday, April 18. Pairs will be sold at select UNDEFEATED stores, MLB Shop, the MLB NYC flagship, and the Dodgers Team Store.

Kith Classics x adidas Originals Spring 2026 Brings BW Army, Samba, and Japan Styles

By

Mario Briguglio

-

Apr 17, 2026

Kith Classics and adidas Originals are back together for Spring 2026, and this season the focus shifts to the BW Army. For the first time, Kith puts its own stamp on the vintage indoor trainer, rolling out four new colorways while also bringing back the Samba and Japan with refreshed details. The drop keeps the collection rooted in adidas heritage, but the execution feels cleaner, softer, and more premium across the board.

The BW Army leads the collection in Raw Desert/Cardboard, Tent Green/Aero Green, Wonder Orchid/Magic Mauve, and Aurora Coffee/Shadow Brown. Each pair mixes leather, nubuck, and suede for a layered look that feels elevated without overdoing it. Tonal paneling keeps the design understated, while white laces, extra lace options, premium leather footbeds, and co-branded hits on the tongue, heel, and insole give the silhouette a more exclusive finish. Even with the updates, the shoe still stays true to its roots and keeps the familiar stripped-back BW Army look intact.

The Samba and Japan also return as part of the Spring 2026 lineup in evergreen color schemes built around Collegiate Green, White, and Black. Kith updates the Samba with a leather upper, suede T-toe, perforated toebox, side branding, and alternating heel debossing. The Japan takes a slightly different route with an all-nubuck build, matching perforated detailing, and similar co-branded touches, while standing out as the only pair in the collection to use round laces.

The Kith Classics x adidas Originals Spring 2026 drawings open today, April 17th, through the Kith App worldwide. A wider release will follow through Kith’s Monday Program on April 20th at 11 AM, available in-store, online, and through the Kith App in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo.
