Nike Air Liquid Max “Black Metallic” Features Orange Air Pods

Going darker for Fall 2026, the Nike Air Liquid Max “Black Metallic” pairs reflective details with a full-length cushioning setup that gives the shoe its bold look.

The upper starts with black mesh, overlapped with soft materials that form the eyestays and side panels. Pure Platinum accents form thin stripes across the mudguard and heel tab in an undulating shape. This detail brings dynamism to the shoe, even when viewed in a static side profile. Metallic Silver Swooshes and tongue stamping prevent the darker tones from overpowering the design.

Light Army Coloring is used throughout the sculpted midsole and molded heel cushion, which features vertical Air Max branding towards the back. The neutral green tone also separates the upper from the bright foam system underneath.

Underfoot is where the Liquid Max looks unlike anything else in Nike’s current Air Max lineup. A full-length series of rounded, orange-tinted pods runs from heel to toe, creating a fluid, almost bubbled appearance. The translucent outsole leaves much of that structure visible, with strategically placed black rubber sections handling traction.

The Nike Air Liquid Max “Black Metallic” comes dressed in Black, Light Army, Pure Platinum, and Metallic Silver. Look for the pair to release July 30, 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers for $220.

Nike Dunk Low “Game Day” Arrives in Purple and Coconut Milk

Moving beyond the Air Force 1 “Game Day”, the series now brings its old-school college sportswear look to the Dunk Low in purple, Coconut Milk, grey, and gold. Priced at $125, the pair is expected to arrive in Summer 2026.

Coconut Milk leather sets up the upper, with shaggy purple suede running across the toe, eyestays, side panels, and heel. Grey suede Swooshes cut through the brighter sections, and matching heel tabs keep the back of the shoe toned down.

The varsity influence shows up most clearly in the purple-and-gold striped laces. Gold Nike branding appears on the tongue, heel, and insoles, while a basketball charm and small Nike logo hang near the forefoot. Those details give the pair a stronger sports connection than the average seasonal Dunk release.

On the reverse side of the green AF1 that is also part of the collection, this iteration definitely plays more into vintage team jerseys. Brown paint faded colors, fuzzy suede and the gum outsole take you there without throwing too much additional graphics on the shoe. A lightly aged midsole finishes the look above a gum rubber outsole.

The Nike Dunk Low “Game Day” is expected to release soon through Nike.com and select retailers for $125.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Patent Flower Pack” Comes With Floral Details

Nike is adding a floral spin to the Air Force 1 Low for Summer 2026 with a three-pair “Patent Flower Pack.” Black, White, and Pink Rise colorways are expected, each using glossy patent uppers and layered flower appliqués around the heel.

The silver studs that sit centered within each flower add just a hint of metallic flair to the heel of the shoe. Nike leaves nearly every other aspect of Bruce Kilgore’s original untouched. The perforated toe box, stitched overlays, padded collar, and thick rubber sole all remain visible, preventing any of the added ornamentation from altering the sneaker’s identity as an Air Force 1.

Black and White stay tonal, with matching laces and soles carrying their respective colors across nearly the entire shoe. The shine of the patent material is more noticeable on those pairs, while the raised flowers provide most of the texture.

Pink Rise leans further into the theme. Soft pink covers the upper, laces, floral pieces, and sole unit, then continues inside with a satin-like collar lining. It has the dressiest look of the three, though the color blocking itself remains simple.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Patent Flower Pack” is available now in the “White” and “Pink” colorways on Nike.com. The “Black” pair will be available soon. All pairs come with a $125 price tag.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Woven” Pack Arrives Ahead of Fall 2026

Nike is treating the Air Force 1 Low to a woven leather makeover for Fall 2026. Arriving in a basket-esque finish, the crossover construction spans the toe box and quarter panels of one of Nike’s most recognizable silhouettes. While the AF1 maintains its signature shape, the construction break up Nike’s traditional all leather build.

Traditional overlays remain around the toe, eyestays, Swoosh, and heel. Exposed edges throughout the weave add a rougher texture, especially on the lighter colorways where the contrast is easier to see. Nike also adds an AF1 ’82 lace dubrae and replaces the standard heel embroidery with crossed leather strips.

Vintage-style tongue labels provide the pack’s main color contrast. Both light pairs feature dark red tags with cursive Nike branding, while the rest of their uppers stay tonal. “Summit White” uses a brighter white finish, “Sanddrift” shifts toward cream, and “Wheat” covers nearly the entire shoe in a workboot-inspired brown.

Jordan Luka 5 Dips Into “South Beach” Vibes

The Jordan Luka 5 “South Beach” is scheduled for Summer 2026, priced at $135. It will release through Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers in a Laser Fuchsia, Black, Bleached Turquoise, and Fibreglass colorway.

Laser Fuchsia takes over the laces, sculpted midsole, heel support, and translucent outsole. The upper stays mostly black, mixing mesh with synthetic panels around the toe, tongue, eyestays, and collar. Thin Bleached Turquoise piping runs between the two colors and shows up again on the tongue logo and lining.

A large support frame shapes most of the Luka 5, wrapping the midfoot before curving around the heel. Mesh windows sit inside the molded structure, while the outsole uses herringbone traction. Jumpman branding appears near the forefoot.

“Non Desistas” is molded along the side frame, carrying over the Latin phrase tied to Luka Dončić’s signature line. The words translate to “never give up.” A small embroidered heart behind the tongue adds a quieter detail to the bright Miami-style palette.

The Jordan Luka 5 “South Beach” releases in Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers for $135.

Nike Air Rift 2 “Summit White/Swan” Releases June 25th

Nike is reaching back to 2002 for the return of the Air Rift 2, a laceless follow-up to the original Air Rift from 1996. The “Summit White” colorway releases June 25, 2026, through Nike.com and select retailers for $125.

The retro preserves the model’s unusual full slip-on shape and signature split toe. A flexible Summit White upper features rows of small perforations, while breathable mesh surrounds the collar, heel, forefoot opening, and center panel. Its wide openings replace a traditional lacing system and make the shoe easy to step into.

Swan and Light Silver cover the sculpted sole unit and supporting trim, giving the mostly white design a subtle tonal finish. Ice Blue appears sparingly on the embroidered forefoot Swooshes, midfoot branding, and striped insoles. Underfoot, a lightly translucent rubber outsole carries the separated-toe construction through the bottom of the shoe.

The Air Rift 2 returns at a time when low-profile slip-ons, mules, and recovery-inspired footwear remain prominent across Nike’s lifestyle lineup. Its early-2000s build offers a more technical alternative without changing the features that made the original release distinctive.

The Nike Air Rift 2 “Summit White/Swan” launches June 25, 2026, for $125 at Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

Nike Air Force 1 “Easter Egg” Returns Spring 2027

Nike is bringing back the Air Force 1 Low “Easter Egg” for Spring 2027, giving the colorful seasonal release its third appearance.

The pastel-covered pair first launched in 2005 before returning in 2017. Another decade later, Nike will revisit the same playful design for a new generation of Air Force 1 fans.

The 2027 release is expected to stay close to the original, featuring glossy patent leather panels in Titanium Blue, Lime Ice, Storm Pink, and soft purple shades. Cracked egg graphics on the tongue labels and insoles complete the Easter-inspired theme.

Its return also continues Nike’s renewed interest in overlooked styles from the early and mid-2000s. Along with bringing back familiar colorways, the brand has been experimenting with the Air Force 1’s original 2001 shape and updated versions aimed at the fashion crowd.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Easter 2027 Release Date

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Easter Egg” will release during Spring 2027 for $125. Images shown are of the 2017 edition, but the upcoming pair is expected to feature the same design. Stay tuned for official photos and a confirmed release date.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Black/Total Orange” Now Available (June 2026)

UPDATE 6/23/26: The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Black/Total Orange” is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 6/13/26:
Nike continues to release darker Air Max 95 colorways this Summer 2026. This next “Black/Total Orange” variation leans on a combination of Black, Smoke Grey, and Total Orange to retain the silhouette’ gradient scheme while appearing sleeker and more subtle.

Stripes of grey lace throughout the stacked side panels transitioning into black nearing the midsole. The shoe’s upper is constructed of mesh complemented by synthetic overlays and patent leather-esque accents that highlight the design intricacies of the Air Max 95. While there is a lot going on with the upper there are only two colors used, allowing it to avoid feeling overwhelming.

Total Orange makes appearances throughout instead of taking over an entire panel of the shoe. We see the color on the tongue branding, mini Swooshes, the insoles, and the inner lining of the visible Air units. You can see additional orange peaking through various areas of the outsole as well. It helps give this pair some contrast when looked at from underneath.

The Nike Air Max 95 “Black/Total Orange” will launch at Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers on June 23, 2026.

Nike Air Force 1 “Game Day” Now Available (June 2026)

UPDATE 6/23/26: The “Game Day” Air Force 1 is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 6/17/26:
The Nike Air Force 1 “Game Day” is scheduled for June 20, 2026, with a release through Nike.com and select retailers. It is expected to arrive alongside a larger Nike Sportswear capsule built around vintage team gear.

Most of the upper is covered in Malachite green, mixing leather on the base with suede across the overlays. University Gold handles the brighter accents. Coconut Milk and Gum Medium Brown settle things down around the sole and give the shoe a more worn-in look.

Collectors familiar with Ari Saal Forman’s Menthol 10 may notice a resemblance in the green-heavy color blocking. The comparison is mostly visual. Forman’s 2006 design referenced cigarette packaging, while this pair looks to old basketball uniforms, varsity colors, and classic athletic apparel.

A basketball charm hangs from the laces, making the “Game Day” theme clear without adding much else to the shoe. It also brings the design back to the Air Force 1’s original basketball roots.

Look for the Nike Air Force 1 “Game Day” on June 20, 2026, at Nike.com and select retailers, priced at $125 USD.

Nike Total 90 III “Soccer Ball” Turns The Retro Football Shoe Into A Match Ball

Nike’s revived Total 90 line continues its World Cup build-up with a design pulled straight from the pitch. The Nike Total 90 III “Soccer Ball” covers the early-2000s indoor model in the familiar white-and-black paneling of a traditional match ball.

Textured white leather is woven throughout the upper, accented by matte black pentagon overlays stitched onto the shoe. The layered pentagon pattern creates depth to the design rather than using it as a flat print all over. It also distinguishes this shoe from the neon “Pink Rise” iteration while still incorporating a soccer-ball motif.

The branding stays close to the Total 90 III’s original look. A large circular “90” emblem fills the medial side, while black embroidered Swooshes appear on the toe and lateral panel. “total90III” lettering is worked into the heel area, joined by additional Nike branding on the rear tabs and outsole.

Wide, rippled white laces add another football reference and resemble the corded texture of a goal net. White padding lines the collar, and the matching indoor-style sole keeps the colorway almost entirely neutral. Soccer-inspired graphics printed across the insoles complete the design.

The Nike Total 90 III “Soccer Ball” released June 22, 2026, through Nike.com and select retailers. The retail price is $125.

Where To Buy The Sp5der x adidas F50 Formotion

SP5DER’s take on the adidas F50 Formotion carries the fast, stretched-out look of adidas performance footwear into a lifestyle release. Mesh handles most of the upper, with leather Three Stripes layered across the sides and a low profile that makes the shoe look built for speed.

The sole does most of the heavy lifting visually. It spreads out beneath the upper, especially around the heel, giving the model a wider stance than the average retro runner. There is some Megaride influence in the shape and overall attitude, but not in the cushioning. The F50 Formotion leaves out the accordion-style setup tied to that line.

Underneath, the outsole is broken into two main traction areas: a circular section at the heel and a separate rubber pad under the forefoot. It is not a conventional layout, which fits a shoe rooted in the more experimental side of early-2000s adidas design.

The SP5DER x adidas F50 Formotion releases June 26, 2026, through KINGSP5DER.com. adidas CONFIRMED and select retailers will follow with a wider drop on July 1. Retail is set at $190.

First Look At The Nike Air Bakin Low Coming in 2027

Nike is reshaping the Air Bakin for Spring/Summer 2027, turning the ’90s basketball model into a low-top for the first time. The new Nike Air Bakin Low keeps the original shoe’s aggressive sole unit, but nearly everything above it has been reworked.

Green leather panels wrap the sides with web-like cutouts that expose purple mesh underneath. It is a noticeable departure from the curved overlays used on the high-top Air Bakin, giving the low a lighter, more layered look. Hairy suede covers the toe cap, bringing another texture into an already unconventional mix.

Familiar details keep the design connected to the original. Nike retained the diamond-shaped tongue badge, while the sculpted midsole carries over without major changes. That combination makes the shoe recognizable as an Air Bakin even with the shorter collar and redesigned upper.

The Air Bakin first arrived as a performance basketball shoe in the late 1990s, but its bold shape has always fit naturally within Nike Sportswear’s retro catalog. This low-top version gives Nike another way to bring the model back without simply repeating the original construction.

The Nike Air Bakin Low was previewed during Nike Sportswear’s Spring/Summer 2027 showcase. A release date, price, style code, and retailer list have not been announced. Look for more details to surface closer to its expected 2027 launch through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

A’ja Wilson Unveils The Nike A’Two “Hot Wheels”

Brittney Griner gave the Nike A’Two “Hot Wheels” its first on-court look, but the colorway is now tied directly to A’ja Wilson. Wilson recently unveiled the sneaker herself, putting an end to the early belief that it was made solely as a Phoenix Mercury Player Exclusive.

Yellow flames sweep across the upper with blue tips worked into the graphic, pulling the design from the familiar look of Hot Wheels toy cars. The pattern runs toward a black heel, while Wilson’s signature branding on the tongues carries the same flame treatment.

The theme could signal a more personal direction for Wilson’s second signature shoe. Nike appears to be drawing from the childhood toys and games that influenced her, giving the A’Two a storytelling angle beyond standard team colors and performance-focused releases.

Nike has not confirmed whether the Nike A’Two “Hot Wheels” will be sold to the public or remain limited to Wilson and Griner. No release date, price, or retail availability has been announced.

First Look At The Nike Sabrina 4 “Bright Crimson”

Sabrina Ionescu’s fourth signature shoe is adding a deep red option to its Holiday 2026 lineup. The Nike Sabrina 4 “Bright Crimson” leans into a nearly tonal finish, with a darker patterned section giving the upper some needed contrast.

Glossy crimson wraps the toe cap before continuing along the side panels and heel. Nike shifts to a matte treatment across the toe box, while red mesh keeps the tongue tied into the rest of the build.

A black-and-red houndstooth-style print appears toward the rear of the shoe, breaking up the heavy use of Bright Crimson without changing the overall look. Black also marks the “S” logo on the tongue and the small Swoosh positioned near the lateral toe.

The aggressive colorway also falls in line with Ionescu’s branding. She has often fluctuated between solid, wearable team colors and bright, bold_release per.season colors. This creates a colorway for the Sabrina 4 that stands out on the court without compromising the functionality of the shoe’s performance focused design.

The Nike Sabrina 4 “Bright Crimson” is expected to release during Holiday 2026 at Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers, priced at $135 USD.

Undercover x Vans Slip-On 98 Releases June 24th

Undercover and Vans are reconnecting for a three-shoe collection that places British artist Emily Bennett’s work at the center. The lineup includes two art-covered Slip-Ons and black-and-white versions of the SK8-Hi, with every pair priced at $110.

Bennett’s paintings take over the Slip-On, using the low-profile model as an uninterrupted canvas. “Ardour,” completed in 2011, and the pandemic-era “All Aflame” appear across opposite shoes rather than as matching prints. Flames, floral arrangements, staircases, and deep black spaces run through the artwork, giving each side of the pair its own composition.

The SK8-Hi moves in a different direction. Offered in alternating black and white colorways, the high-top features grid graphics across the quarter panels with Undercover and Vans branding worked into the design. It feels connected to Vans’ checkerboard history, but the layout is more stripped back and graphic than the familiar pattern.

Using the SK8-Hi also gives the project a less expected centerpiece. The Old Skool has carried much of Vans’ recent collaboration output, while the former skate staple has appeared less often in limited collections.

The Undercover x Vans Slip-On 98 Collection releases June 24, 2026, through Vans. All three styles will retail for $110 each.

Air Jordan 14 Low “Black Ostrich” From The “Black Pack” Revealed

Jordan Brand’s latest Air Jordan 14 Low ditches its performance focus for something entirely different. Set to drop as part of Jordan Brand’s “Black Pack,” the Air Jordan 14 Low “Black Ostrich” was previewed during Paris Fashion Week. The new colorway switches up the silhouette’s traditional performance aesthetic for an edgier, more luxe construction.

Black ostrich leather graces the side panels, offering a richly textured detail to the Ferrari-inspired shape. Flat black overlays top things off, and suede shows up on the toe for another textural shift. The tonal color continues through the tongue, laces, lining and outsole.

Dark grey hues help provide contrast to an otherwise monochromatic black shoe. The gray paint graces the sculpted midsole chunks as well as the iconic “fangs” towards the forefoot area. It helps distinguish the shape of the Air Jordan 14, which is truly aerodynamic. The metallic accents on the external badge enhance the shoe’s look without detracting from the luxurious leather.

The pair was seen at Mowalola’s Paris Fashion Week pop-up, which made sense since the London designer has two Air Jordan 14 collaborations dropping this fall. Within Jordan Brand’s larger “Black Pack”, the Air Jordan 15, Air Jordan 16, and Air Jordan 17 Low are expected to highlight several retro models that don’t often get major release attention.

Air Jordan 14 Low Black Pack Release Date

The Air Jordan 14 Low “Black Ostrich” is set to launch October 3, 2026 in men’s sizing. Retail will be $240. You can cop the pair at Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com.
