The PUMA x KidSuper V-S1 “Archive Green” is the latest addition to the new Brasil Panels Collection, reinterpreting the heritage model with a more experimental angle.
KidSuper is a project known for its whimsical design collaborations, and this update to the V-S1 features a chunky shaggy suede upper in vibrant Archive Green with PUMA White accents.
Archival Formstrip overlays adorn the lateral side, while the medial features a large jumping cat logo. Hidden lace hooks streamline the design, while a supportive TPU heel cage offers translucent green overlays. A durable rubber outsole with track-inspired traction adds functional grit.
KidSuper custom insoles nod to the project’s sporty foundations for sneakerheads. With its playful aesthetic and nods to PUMA’s innovative 2000s era runners, it’s a piece with a lifestyle edge. The attention to these little details is something that sneakerheads will be able to spot in a heartbeat.
The KidSuper x PUMA V-S1 “Archive Green” will be available on August 30, 2025, for $150 USD via PUMA.com and selected retail partners worldwide.
Snakeskin sneaker duo Austin Reaves and Rigorer have returned with another exclusive edition of the AR2, dubbed the “Snake Eyes.”
The performance-focused release once again showcases the guard’s competitive nature with a black and woven upper and reactive sole. Small AR branding and fang-inspired graphics give the sneaker tactical edge, while the heel tab hosts a snake eyes symbol that transitions from white to purple.
Rigorer has kept the interior themed as well, with bone-like snake graphics lining the insoles.
To commemorate the drop, KICKS CREW has partnered with Rigorer on a complimentary capsule collection, which includes the AR2 “Snake Eyes” and several premium accessories like a carry case, towel, and more.
The Rigorer AR2 “Snake Eyes” will drop August 23, 2025 on Rigorer.com and select retailers for $110 USD.
Metagirl, the Boston-born and Italy-based designer, is linking up with Saucony for a new spin on the Progrid Paramount. The collab is called “Daughter of the Moon”, and it feels different from her usual jeweled customs. This time the shine comes more from mood than sparkle, and that’s exactly the point.
No crystals here. Instead, lace edges the collar while a shaped heel clip pulls the design tight. Pearl tones lead the way, broken up with hits of lavender that soften the overall look. It’s clean, but still has that Metagirl signature.
The name isn’t random either. “Daughter of the Moon” pulls from Vedic ideas—pearls, water, lightning. Symbols tied to movement and change. It adds story to the shoe, and you feel it once you know the background.
The choice of model matters too. Back in the day, the Progrid Paramount sat at the top of Saucony’s running line. Right alongside the Omni 9 and the Triumph 4. Sneakerheads who ran in those years will get the callback instantly. This collab digs into that history instead of chasing trends.
No set launch yet, but the Metagirl x Saucony Paramount is expected in August 2025. With the way this project is being teased, expect it to stay on people’s watchlists until the drop.
UPDATE 8/19/25: Infinite Archives has shared another preview of its upcoming Air Jordan 17 Low collaboration. You can now sign-up HERE to receive email alerts ahead of the shoes October release.
Original Story 8/12/25:
The Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” has finally been revealed in its retail-ready form after months of speculation. A pair of early leaks from earlier this year have since been proven to be unreleased samples that were altered from the official release, while this release fits with the anime-inspired marketing that Infinite Archives has teased out thus far, and builds the shoe’s visual language to a larger, bolder story.
Infinite Archives’ take on the AJ17 Low was influenced by the original model as well as Mike Bibby player exclusives, with the most notable feature being its multi-color outsole. The sneaker also features smooth leather toe caps, tumbled leather on the side panels, and perforated black leather on the tongue and collar. Its most defining feature is its translucent TPU midfoot cage that exposes the blow-molded Air unit, as well as a color-shifting heel clip.
The “Beach” colorway combines cream and black tones for a look that is both classic and striking. Metallic “IA” and “23” badges, embroidered Jumpman logos, and “PEEL OFF” markings on the holographic heel strip continue the AJ17’s unique design language.
Infinite Archives Air Jordan 17 Low Beach Release Date
The Infinite Archives x Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” releases October 2025 with Infinite Archives, select retailers, and Nike.com at a retail price of $305 USD.
UPDATE 8/19/25: LeBron James has revealed two new colorways of the upcoming LeBron 23, with additional shots shared by @sober_production on IG. The sneaker is expected to launch during Holiday 2025 for $210. Stay tuned for tech specs and the official unveiling soon.
Original Story 7/28/25:
LeBron James is getting ready for his 23rd NBA season, and with that comes his new signature, the Nike LeBron 23. As usual, LeBron has already been photographed testing an all-black wear-test sample of the sneaker on the court, building anticipation for what he’s prepared to unleash this season.
The LeBron 23, first seen during an exclusive private training session, is a low-top that continues the silhouette language that was first introduced in the LeBron 20. It features a leaner, more angular silhouette with a chunkier wraparound midsole and a more streamlined forefoot. A key design element that hints at LeBron’s past and present branding is the crown-shaped wraparound midsole.
Nike has not released official tech details on the LeBron 23 yet, but we expect it to be equipped with the latest and greatest in performance tooling. It will likely feature a cushioning system that utilizes a blend of Cushlon foam and Zoom Air to provide a plush, responsive ride that is among the best in the game. These updates are an evolution of the sneaker that worked in the LeBron 21 and LeBron 20, but pushes the shoe into a bolder, more aggressive shape.
This initial drop was made available in a matte black upper with carbon fiber-inspired overlays. These overlays could be the sign of an elevated materials package for a future retail release. The outsole tread also looks specifically designed for quick, side-to-side agility as LeBron continues to reimagine how he moves within the game.
The Nike LeBron 23 is set to release in Holiday 2025 for $210 USD. More colorways and details will be revealed as we approach the sneaker’s release.

Original Story:
Nike has confirmed the release of the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0, set for September 2025. This highly anticipated sneaker continues the Mars Yard series with fresh design updates. However, the collaboration has sparked mixed reactions due to past controversies surrounding Sachs.
The Mars Yard 3.0 features key performance enhancements for improved functionality. A TPU heel clip provides extra support, while a carbon fiber plate enhances stability. Nike React foam ensures superior comfort for all-day wear. The sneaker maintains its signature mesh and suede upper, complemented by a red nylon pull tab. A silkscreen-printed Swoosh adds to the exploration-inspired aesthetic. For durability, black rubber foxing reinforces the toe, and a red lace keeper refines the fit.
Nike’s decision to move forward with Sachs follows a pause in their partnership due to workplace misconduct allegations. In September 2023, Nike resumed collaboration, but the sneaker community remains divided. While some eagerly await the latest installment, others distance themselves from the brand association.
Tom Sachs Nike Mars Yard 3.0 Release Date
The Nike Mars Yard 3.0 will release on September 5, 2025 at select Nike retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $285 USD.

UPDATE 7/7/25: Nike and Tom Sachs have officially resumed their partnership, confirming the release of the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 in September 2025 for $275 USD. This marks the third chapter in the iconic Mars Yard series, which began over a decade ago.
To celebrate the announcement, Nike and Sachs shared a detailed 17-minute video that explores the design evolution, creative inspiration, and cultural impact of the Mars Yard line. The video highlights Sachs’ hands-on design approach and features his famous quote: “Nike Running is for runners, Nike Basketball is for basketball, and NikeCraft is for everyone else.”
Toward the end of the video, at the 16-minute mark, Sachs offers an exciting teaser — the Mars Yard 4.0 is already in the early stages of development, continuing the legacy of this boundary-pushing collaboration.
North Carolina football just got a fresh delivery from Jordan Brand. The program revealed exclusive Air Jordan 4 UNC cleats and Air Jordan 1 Low UNC cleats, both dressed in shades that Tar Heel fans know instantly.
The Air Jordan 4 Alpha Menace cleat keeps the look simple but powerful. University Blue suede covers most of the upper, with navy hits on the wings and heel tab for contrast. White laces and netting tie it all together, while the molded cleat bottom makes it clear this pair was built for Saturdays in the ACC. The color blocking feels familiar, echoing older UNC PEs that never saw retail shelves.
The Air Jordan 1 Low takes things in a different direction. A mix of smooth leather and patterned overlays gives it extra depth, while Obsidian Swooshes sharpen the look. The Air Jordan Wings logo sits on the heel as a finishing touch. It’s a little more subtle than the 4s, but no less tied to Chapel Hill pride.
Like most Jordan Brand football cleats, these aren’t heading to stores. They’re built strictly for the Tar Heels, adding another chapter to UNC’s long-running connection with MJ’s line. For sneaker fans, it’s a reminder that some of the best Carolina colorways stay on the field.
The West NYC x adidas Rod Laver “Zabar’s” brings deli culture straight into sneaker form. Zabar’s, the iconic Upper West Side shop, turns 90 this year. To celebrate, adidas and West NYC teamed up for a tribute that feels natural to the neighborhood.
The Rod Laver gets dressed in white mesh and leather, much like the aprons worn by Zabar’s staff. Bright orange accents highlight the design, instantly tying back to the store’s bold signage and packaging. If you’ve walked past the corner of Broadway and 80th, you’ll spot the reference immediately.
West NYC sits only a few blocks away, which makes the partnership feel more like a community handshake than a corporate collab. Zabar’s staff even laced up pairs for the shoot, turning the shoe into something of an unofficial uniform. That touch gives the project a sense of real local flavor.
The West NYC x adidas Rod Laver “Zabar’s” launches August 23, 2025, exclusively at West NYC in-store and online. Pricing is set at $100 in men’s sizes.
UPDATE 8/19/25: After making its on-court debut during the July Summer League, Under Armour has confirmed the Fox 2 signature sneaker will officially launch on Friday, August 22. The release will be available at UA.com and select retailers for $120.
Fox explained the design direction behind his second shoe: “With the Fox 2, I wanted to push things further while still building on the first model. This sneaker doesn’t look like anything else in the Curry Brand lineup. We reworked the Flow cushioning, updated the strap, and added details that make it stand out both on and off the court. It’s been a fun process, and I think fans are going to love the result.”
Original Story 7/11/25:
The Curry Fox 2 continues the momentum from De’Aaron Fox’s debut sneaker with Curry Brand. As the first non-Stephen Curry signature model, the Fox line marks a bold direction for the brand.
This second version keeps the familiar low-top shape but introduces fresh updates. A more sculpted heel counter, enhanced wave midsole, and a reimagined strap system offer improved performance and style. The new strap design steps away from the fox-tail inspiration of the first shoe.
Branding elements are placed with intent. The Curry Brand logo appears on the TPU heel, while “Curry” is stitched onto the tongue. De’Aaron Fox’s personal logo is centered on the midfoot strap, adding a personal touch to the performance silhouette.
Fox was spotted wearing the all-teal colorway courtside during a Spurs preseason game. The colorway stood out thanks to its tonal finish and dynamic midsole lines.
Curry Fox 2 Release Date
Retailing for $120, the Fox 2 will officially release on Friday, August 22, on UA.com and select Under Armour retailers.
Jordan Brand is celebrating the return of the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma” with a Holiday 2025 apparel capsule. The collection revisits the bold energy of the 2013 release, highlighted by the classic black, Gamma Blue, and maize palette with hotline-inspired details.
The capsule includes tees, crews, and long sleeves designed to be the perfect fit to match the shoes’ iconic aesthetic. The short sleeve tee features a framed graphic of the “Gamma” 11 with a hotline-style number, a direct nod to vintage Jordan ads. That’s the detail sneakerheads will notice right away.
A heather grey crewneck offers a standout option, featuring a large digital-style rendering of the AJ11 “Gamma” across the chest with embroidered Jumpman branding on the sleeve. For those who like bold statements, the black long sleeve tee pairs a Gamma Blue Jumpman logo with sleeve graphics and layered line artwork nodding to the AJ11’s patent leather cut.
Together, the capsule fuses retro energy with updated construction, giving fans versatile ways to style around the returning sneakers. Each piece connects directly to the shoe’s legacy while delivering wearable options beyond the court.
Release Date & Where To Buy
The Air Jordan Gamma apparel collection releases alongside the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma” in December 2025 on Nike.com and select retailers.
Fusing a performance pedigree with lifestyle appeal, the New Balance 2010 is back in a fresh new colorway.
NewBalances’s 2010 silhouette is rooted in running, and continues to pair suede overlays with mesh underlays for a layered and robust construction.
The “Black Cement” colorway goes muted for this release, with a late-evening design. The base is mostly black, with a few flashes of grey around the heel and curvy upper overlays. Oval overlays across the tongue and rear midfoot feature the classic “N” branding, while a wavy cut-out towards the toe points adds interest.
The New Balance 2010 “Black Cement” will release on August 20, 2025 for $160 on NewBalance.com and select retailers.
This clean colorway gels with New Balance’s current modern aesthetic, and is a nod to the brand’s recent trend of muted but elevated colorways. The sneaker will effortlessly integrate into most wardrobes, while also being capable of standing on its own.
ASICS revives the ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16, an early-2010s runner that developed a cult following thanks to its reliable comfort and long-lasting performance. The model has been retroed for daily wear this year.
The Light Blue colorway uses a lightweight mesh upper in light blue and navy with silver overlays. The dual-tone midsole draws attention to the GEL cushioning pods that give this shoe its classic appearance while also maintaining its performance. The balanced color scheme is versatile and true to the sneaker’s running roots.
The Pink colorway is a more aggressive take. Burgundy mesh and soft pink accents are paired with metallic silver ASICS branding. The deeper and brighter color contrasts create an eye-catching combination for fans looking for a little more punch.
The sneakers release in September 2025 and retail for $140 at ASICS.com and select retailers.
The adidas Handball Spezial “Equipment Red” is the latest installment of the brand’s “Made in Germany” line, a collection of handcrafted silhouettes featuring classic terrace styling. The Spezial has long been the torchbearer of 1970s indoor handball designs and has become one of the most adopted iterations in European casual culture.
Drawing many of the same design elements from previous popular editions like the “Preloved Ink”, the new “Equipment Red” keeps the red suede uppers, cream Three Stripes and gum white sole, but with the added layer of a more luxurious suede treatment. The better suede mix likely accounts for the increased retailing, but should in turn help with longevity both in wear and keeping with current sneaker inflation.
The adidas Handball Spezial “Equipment Red” will release August 19th in Europe for $200. The global release date is set for late August to early September on adidas.com and in-store at select retailers worldwide.
UPDATE 8/19/25: The Nike Shox TL Fade “Light Arctic Pink/Neptune Green” is now available on Nike.com.
Original Story 6/17/25:
Looking for a sneaker that screams summer vibes? The Nike Shox TL “Watermelon” is ready to refresh your rotation. This women’s exclusive is bursting with bold flavor—no fruit slicing required.
With dark Off Noir covering the Shox pillars, overlays, and lining, it creates a strong contrast for the vibrant colors above. The upper features a playful gradient of Neptune Green and Light Arctic Pink, blending like a juicy summer treat. If your feet had a favorite cocktail, this would be it.
More pink lands on the tongue, heel, and Swoosh trim, giving it that extra splash of sass. And the mesh upper? It keeps things breathable and cool—because your style should never sweat.
Set to release on August 19, 2025, the Nike Shox TL “Watermelon” will retail for $180 in women’s sizing on Nike.com and select retailers.
Don’t wait for fall—this fruity flavor is made for sunny days and heatwave flexes.
A’ja Wilson’s Nike A’One shows up again, this time in a blazing “Sunshine” colorway set for September 2025.
Wilson’s signature sneaker has already made waves with recent pairs like the earthy “Sequoia” and the sharp “#1 Draft Pick”. Those colorways set the tone, but this one feels louder — like it was made to stand out from the bench to the baseline.
Bright golden overlays wrap a pearl base, with metallic hits shining on the Swoosh and tongue logo. Wilson’s handwritten signature marks the heel, while inside the tongue you’ll spot hidden embroidery honoring her parents. It’s a quiet touch, but the kind of detail fans always appreciate.
Underfoot, a mix of Cushlon and Phylon keeps things responsive, while the sculpted TPU frame adds that locked-in stability. The gold-finished sole ties everything together. On the floor or off it, this pair just demands attention.
Nike A’One “Sunshine” Release Date
The Nike A’One “Sunshine” releases September 1, 2025 in women’s sizing for $115 USD at Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com.
The Sushi Club x Nike Air Force 1 Low is back for Fall 2025, blending premium details with that clean white-on-white look fans never get tired of.
Sushi Club, created by Chris Stamp and legendary chef Nobu Matsuhisa, already dipped into AF1s with exclusive editions for its New York and Beverly Hills spots. Those pairs hit $275 and disappeared fast. This time, the brand is going wider, dropping a version that feels just as elevated but arrives at a more accessible $150.
The shoe doesn’t scream for attention, which makes it better. Tumbled leather runs across the base, while hairy suede Swooshes add texture without breaking the minimalist vibe. Small but sharp touches stand out — “Sushi Club” stamped into the panels, metallic lettering inside, and a lace dubrae shaped like chopsticks. It’s the kind of design move you catch up close, not across the street.
The Sushi Club x Nike Air Force 1 Low releases Fall 2025 in unisex sizing at Sushi Club, select retailers, and Nike.com.
