Cristiano Ronaldo x Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 RGN “Metallic Gold” Releases June 24th

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

UPDATE 6/23/26: Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score in six straight World Cups. Nike is marking the record with an all-gold Mercurial Superfly RGN featuring a wraparound Swoosh and CR7 heel branding. The cleats release June 24 at Nike.com and select retailers worldwide.

Original Story 6/18/26:
Coming back for Summer 2026, the Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 RGN returns in a gold colorway tied to Cristiano Ronaldo. The boot will cost $300, though Nike has not locked in a release date or confirmed the full retailer lineup.

This version arrives after the original Superfly 1 colorway returned earlier in 2026. Gold changes the tone of the release. It feels less like another archive pull and more like a career-focused edition tied to Ronaldo’s history with Nike Football.

The Mercurial Superfly 1 first launched in 2009, around the time Ronaldo’s career was moving into another gear. It was Nike’s top speed boot, built with a lightweight synthetic upper, Flywire support, and a carbon fiber plate. The model looked aggressive, felt modern for its time, and quickly became part of the boot era most closely associated with his rise.

July 18 was previously expected as the release date, but that timing now appears uncertain. Nike may be holding the launch for a bigger Ronaldo moment following Portugal’s 1-1 draw against DR Congo. That part has not been confirmed, and no new date has been announced.

The Cristiano Ronaldo x Nike Mercurial Superfly 1 RGN “Gold” is still expected during Summer 2026 for $300. Release details should become clearer once Nike formally adds the boot to its calendar.

Miu Miu and New Balance Unveil Coco Gauff’s Wimbledon 2026 Collection

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Coco Gauff’s latest project with Miu Miu and New Balance is built around the 2026 Wimbledon season, pairing on-court apparel with two more fashion-led versions of the New Balance 530. The shoes arrive in white and dark brown leather, continuing the slimmer look Miu Miu has used on earlier releases.

Wimbledon’s all-white dress code sets the direction for the apparel. Rather than pushing color, Miu Miu works through cut and detail: a pleated skirt with small side splits, tops with scalloped trim, and track jackets finished with light blue piping. Branding is kept to a minimum.

Each colorway from the Miu Miu x New Balance 530 features perforated underlays, various lace styles, and brown gum rubber outsoles. While both pairs pay homage to the silhouette’s origin retro-running design, the fit is a bit slimmer than an actual NB 530. They have the proportions of an old school runner mashed with an older tennis shoe silhouette.

That reshaped 530 has become one of the partnership’s signatures. Miu Miu does not completely disguise the sneaker, but it changes the proportions enough to give a familiar New Balance model a different place in the market.

The Coco Gauff x Miu Miu x New Balance collection releases June 23, 2026, through New Balance, MiuMiu.com, and select Miu Miu stores worldwide.

Converse x Minions Collection Brings Minions & Monsters To Classic Chucks

By

Converse is bringing Minions & Monsters into its lineup with new takes on the Chuck 70, Chuck Taylor All Star, and kids’ Chuck Taylor All Star Easy-On. The release also includes apparel and a group of customization options through Converse By You.

The Minions x Converse Collection launches worldwide on June 25, 2026, before the film arrives in theaters July 1. Each sneaker handles the Minions theme differently instead of repeating the same graphics across the entire range.

Premium denim gives the Chuck 70 a sturdier look than the model’s usual canvas build. There is also a small pocket on the outer ankle, along with co-branded details placed throughout the shoe.

Minions artwork dominate the Chuck Taylor All Star. Asymmetrical eyelets, whimsical stitching and a yellow rubber outsole brings the sneaker in line with the film’s vibrant palette without compromising the iconic Chuck silhouette.

The Chuck Taylor All Star Easy-On covers younger wearers with an adjustable eye strap inspired by the characters. Its simpler entry system is practical for kids, but it still carries the same bold direction as the adult pairs.

Two graphic T-shirts and a hoodie make up the clothing portion of the release. Shoppers using Converse By You will also be able to choose from Minions-inspired prints, colors, accents, and laces for select sneakers.

James and Henry, two of the film’s new Minion characters, appear alongside a larger crew in Minions & Monsters. The collaboration places them on one of Converse’s most recognizable sneaker families just as the next movie reaches theaters.

The Minions x Converse Collection releases June 25, 2026, through Converse.com and select retailers worldwide.

Nike Gives The Air Max 90 A Square-Toe Makeover For Spring 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is taking one of its most familiar Air Max models in a direction that will likely split longtime fans.

Unveiled during Paris Fashion Week, this experimental Nike Air Max 90 replaces the sneaker’s usual rounded shape with a noticeably sharper, squared-off build. The blocky treatment starts at the toe but continues across nearly every part of the design.

The upper sits flatter than the standard Air Max 90, while rough edges and stiff geometric panels give it an almost unfinished look. Nike also reshaped the Swoosh into an arrow-like graphic and rebuilt the sole with angular, polygonal lines.

The design follows the square-toe Air Force 1 that Nike previewed alongside several other unusual concepts, including a low-cut Foamdome and a laceless Air Max 97. Its digital appearance also brings to mind the dotSWOOSH Air Max 1 “Low Poly” releases, especially when dressed in the bright green colorway shown here.

Whether sneaker fans embrace the new shape remains to be seen, but Nike clearly wants the redesigned Air Max 90 to spark conversation.

The square-toe Nike Air Max 90 is expected to arrive during Spring 2027, though full release details have not yet been announced.

Ronnie Fieg Introduces The New Balance 2011

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Ronnie Fieg and New Balance are taking their longtime partnership into new territory with the New Balance 2011. After nearly 100 collaborative releases across 15 years, the upcoming silhouette marks the first original New Balance model created with the Kith founder.

Fieg developed the shoe alongside New Balance designer Sam Pearce. Underfoot, the 2011 uses the ABZORB-cushioned sole unit found on the New Balance 2002, which has also influenced newer designs such as the 1890 and 1954R. Its upper introduces a different look through overlapping suede, leather, and mesh panels.

The model’s name references 2011, the year Kith opened its doors. Its broader theme also reflects the retailer’s journey from a young company into a global brand. Fieg compared that growth to a sapling developing into a tree, an idea carried across colorways including “Leaf Green” and “Sakura Flower.”

New Balance 2011 Release Date

The New Balance 2011 will make its debut June 26, 2026, at Kith West Hollywood. A wider launch will follow June 29, 2026, through Kith’s stores and online platforms.

Nike Reveals New Air Max Dolce Colorways At Paris Fashion Week

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike brought plenty of new footwear to Paris Fashion Week, including the Square Toe Air Force 1s, but the Air Max Dolce may be one of the more unexpected models in the lineup. Originally released in 2002, the unusual Air Max hybrid is now preparing for a wider comeback.

Three new versions were previewed during Nike’s Spring/Summer 2027 showcase. Black and white pairs feature croc-embossed uppers, building on the more formal construction recently introduced through Comme des Garçons.

A third colorway takes a different approach with black leather and a partially deconstructed finish. An asterisk appears on the tongue, which could point to an upcoming A-COLD-WALL* collaboration. Nike has not confirmed that connection.

The Air Max Dolce mixes performance cushioning with the shape of a dress shoe. Its moc-toe upper and loafer-inspired profile helped it stand out during Nike’s experimental early-2000s period. Along with these elevated versions, the brand is also expected to revisit the original webbed TPU forefoot design on general-release colorways such as the upcoming “Light Magenta.”

Sneaker-loafer hybrids have gained more attention in recent years, giving Nike a timely opportunity to bring the Dolce back into the conversation. Whether the model catches on beyond its unusual appearance remains to be seen.

The newly previewed Nike Air Max Dolce styles are expected to arrive during the Spring/Summer 2027 season. Release dates and pricing have not been announced.

Nike Air Max 97 Laceless Debuts During Paris Fashion Week

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is setting up the Air Max 97 for another run, this time without its usual laces. The redesigned pair surfaced during Paris Fashion Week in three colorways, offering an early look at what could be part of the model’s 30th anniversary plans.

Most of the original shape is still there. The difference is up top, where Nike removed the standard lacing system and built the shoe around a wide tongue and slip-on entry. Layered panels curve across the toe before flowing into the sides, keeping the Air Max 97’s familiar wave pattern but giving it a smoother, more enclosed look.

Nike showed the laceless design in silver and grey with blue branding, a glossy all-black makeup, and a louder neon green option. The green pair adds neutral mesh, metallic gold side panels, and a pale yellow sole, while the other two stay closer to the model’s usual metallic and monochrome territory.

Reflective details and shiny overlays still play a big role, which fits the Air Max 97’s original late-1990s styling. The full-length visible Air unit also remains unchanged underfoot.

Without laces running through the center, the shoe looks noticeably cleaner and slightly more futuristic. Still, it reads as an Air Max 97 right away. The low profile, layered upper, pull tabs, and full-length cushioning all carry over.

The Nike Air Max 97 Laceless is expected to release sometime in 2027, when the silhouette celebrates its 30th anniversary. An exact date, or pricing have not been announced.

Nike’s Square-Toe Air Force 1 Steals The Spotlight At Paris Fashion Week

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike used Paris Fashion Week to preview one of its boldest Air Force 1 updates in years. The Nike Air Force 1 Square Toe keeps the familiar low-top base, then completely reshapes the front with a wide, sharply squared toe box.

That single change gives the sneaker a much different identity. The usual rounded profile is replaced by a flatter, more structured shape that feels closer to contemporary dress shoes, Western footwear, and runway styling than the model’s original basketball design.

Nike takes their creative inspiration to extremes with several early samples. A fully white example bridges the closest gap to the original Air Force 1, while others featured multi-layered plaid overlays, extra-large rope laces, suede uppers, lace accessory hardware, and embroidered Western-themed graphics stitched across the toe.

The materials also help separate these samples from standard inline releases. Some pairs use patterned textile uppers from heel to toe, while others take a quieter approach with tonal leather or brown suede. Square-shaped toe panels, matching midsoles, and unusual lace treatments make each version feel more like a fashion experiment than a simple seasonal colorway.

Nike has spent the past few years revisiting the Air Force 1 from several angles, including slimmer throwback builds and more elevated collaborations. The Nike Air Force 1 Square Toe goes further by changing one of the silhouette’s most recognizable features instead of only switching colors or materials.

The Nike Air Force 1 Square Toe is expected to release near the end of Spring or during Summer 2027.

Nike Goadome Low Foamposite “Eggplant” Releases Spring 2027

By
Mario Briguglio
-

Nike is combining two longtime street staples with the upcoming Nike Goadome Low Foamposite SP. First shown by longtime Nike insider Frank Cooke, the new silhouette reshapes the Air Max Goadome with a molded Foamposite upper and a lower profile.

The debut colorway leans into familiar Foamposite territory. Its shell shifts between blue and purple under the light, closely resembling the celebrated “Eggplant” finish used on the Foamposite One. Black covers the lining, eyestay, laces, midsole, and outsole, keeping the iridescent upper at the center of the design.

Rather than simply placing Foamposite material on an existing Goadome, Nike appears to have built a new upper around the concept. Deep molded lines sweep across the shell, exposed carbon fiber breaks up the midfoot, and small reverse Swooshes add subtle branding near the collar. Underfoot, the shoe retains the Goadome’s full-length Air Max cushioning and rugged traction setup.

The crossover feels especially connected to cities where Foamposites and Goadomes have remained part of everyday cold-weather footwear. Both models built strong followings across New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., making this hybrid less random than it may first appear. It also arrives as Nike continues revisiting bulkier early-2000s designs.

The Nike Air Max Goadome Low Foamposite “Eggplant” is expected to release during Spring 2027 for $200. Nike has not yet announced an official launch date.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “NY vs. NY” Celebrates NYC Streetball

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike’s “NY vs NY” series returns to the Air Force 1 Low in 2026, bringing the Uptown back into the city’s summer basketball circuit. The shoe releases June 26 for $130 through Nike.com and select retailers.

The 2026 pair moves away from the sunset-inspired colors used over the past two years. White leather keeps the upper familiar, while bright green trim brings it closer to the 2022 edition. Nike adds a light grey checkerboard pattern to the Swooshes, giving the mostly white design a little more separation.

Hints of most of the story hang around the foxing. Dyckman, Watson Ave, West 4th and the Uptown Challenge are referenced all attributing the release to courts and tournaments that have contributed to creating New York’ streetball legacy. Finishing off the heel is a stamped NY VS NY mark.

The Air Force 1 has appeared throughout the series, and the choice still feels natural. The model’s history in New York gives the theme more weight than it would on almost any other Nike silhouette.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “NY vs NY” releases June 26, 2026, for $130 at Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

Nike Air Max Dolce “Light Magenta” Gets A Bold Pink Finish

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Official images now show the Nike Air Max Dolce “Light Magenta” in full, bringing the experimental silhouette back outside of its recent Comme des Garçons release. Pink takes over most of the shoe, while black around the collar, midsole, and outsole keeps the color blocking from becoming completely tonal.

The Dolce skips traditional laces. A flexible rubber grid covers the forefoot and runs up toward the tongue, sitting over a glossy textile base. Molded grooves wrap the toe and cut across the side panels, where a raised overlay pulls the upper together before reaching the sculpted heel.

A lightly tinted Air unit is visible beneath the rear of the shoe. It sits inside a black frame that continues into the rubber outsole, with small magenta sections showing between the traction pods. Nike keeps the branding fairly quiet, using small Swooshes on the heel molds and printed graphics on the insoles.

The Nike Air Max Dolce “Light Magenta” will release during Summer 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. The price is set at $270.

Nike Covers The All-Black Air Force 1 in Polka Dots

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Polka Dot” brings a black-and-cream graphic to the classic silhouette for Fall 2026. Smooth black leather runs across the upper, covered with large cream dots that shift in placement from panel to panel.

It is hard not to connect the look to Fragment Design’s polka-dot Air Force 1 from the mid-2000s. Fragment kept the print mostly around the back of the shoe. This pair pushes it much further, carrying the pattern over the toe box, eyestays, side panels, and heel.

Nike keeps nearly everything else black. The leather Swooshes blend into the upper, joined by matching laces, lining, overlays, and a solid rubber sole. A silver AF1 lace dubrae adds the only metallic touch.

Cream details show up again on the tongue labels, Nike Air heel embroidery, and insoles. The midsole’s “AIR” branding and horizontal lines use the same shade, giving the lower half a little contrast without pulling attention away from the print.

The oversized dots could have made the design feel overly playful, but the limited color palette keeps it under control. Its smooth leather construction also gives the shoe a cleaner finish than the pattern first suggests.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Polka Dot” will release in Fall 2026 through Nike.com and select Nike Sportswear retailers. Pricing and an exact release date have not been announced.

Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Chameleon” Returns With Iridescent Mineral Teal

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Chameleon” takes the color-shifting finish from the 2017 Jordan 1 High and reworks it for the course. Mineral Teal leather lands on the toe box, heel, and rear tab, changing tone depending on the light.

Black leather was used on the toe overlay, eyestays, and Swoosh, while white leather was used through the side panels. The blocking stayed true enough to the original “Chameleon” that the reference is clear without making this shoe just a straight retro.

The biggest change comes underfoot. Jordan Brand uses the midsole from the Jordan Nu Retro 1 Low Golf, then adds a Mineral Teal rubber outsole with radial spikes for grip on the course. That tooling gives the shoe a slightly different shape than a standard Air Jordan 1 Low.

Released before Jordan 1 resale prices hit their peak, the original “Chameleon” later surged during the COVID sneaker boom. Demand eventually cooled, much like it did for plenty of Jordan 1s from that stretch. Bringing the look back as a golf shoe gives the colorway another lane instead of simply running it back.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Chameleon” releases in Fall 2026 for $175 through Nike.com and select Jordan Golf retailers.

Nike A’Two TB “Royal Blue” Channels Penny Hardaway’s Foamposite Classic

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

A’ja Wilson’s second signature shoe dives headfirst into one of Nike Basketball’s most iconic colorways. The Nike A’Two TB “Royal Blue” envelops the performance shoe in a shiny Racer Blue hue, complemented by black fabrics and white Swooshes reminiscent of Penny Hardaway’s first Nike Air Foamposite One.

Official images reveal a molded-looking upper with curved ridges running from the toe through the sidewalls. The metallic surface shifts between brighter and darker shades of blue depending on the angle, giving the A’Two a Foamposite-style appearance without changing its low-cut shape.

Black material takes over the tongue, laces, lining, and the frame surrounding the heel. A subtle pattern runs through those sections, while raised white Swooshes provide sharp contrast along the sides. The smaller Swoosh near the forefoot keeps the branding visible from nearly every angle.

Wilson’s signature details are worked into several parts of the shoe. Her personal logo appears on the tongue, her signature is molded across the reflective heel counter, and an infinity-arrow graphic is embroidered behind the tongue. Blue stitching through the lace system and striped heel tabs complete the upper.

A Racer Blue midsole continues the tonal look beneath the shoe. The black rubber outsole features flowing traction grooves, blue accents, and translucent sections under the forefoot and midfoot.

The Nike A’Two TB “Royal Blue” releases July 2, 2026, for $145 through Nike.com and select Nike Basketball retailers.

Official Photos of the Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 “49ers”

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 6/22/26: Official photos of the Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 “49ers” have surfaced. The classic “Home” colorway was originally released in 1994 and worn by Deion Sanders during his first Super Bowl-winning season. A release is expected in Fall 2026 for $170.

Original Story 2/22/26:
The Nike Air Diamond Turf 2 “49ers” is coming back in Fall 2026, giving fans another shot at one of Deion Sanders’ most memorable trainers. The shoe originally hit shelves in 1994 and quickly earned its “Home” nickname after Deion suited up for the San Francisco 49ers and went on to win his first Super Bowl title that season. The retro hasn’t surfaced since 2012, so this return already carries plenty of anticipation.

The pair keeps its Black, White, Metallic Gold, and Varsity Red layout, a combo that still feels tied to Deion’s prime. Leather and nubuck share the upper, while the Metallic Gold mesh windows echo the early-’90s look. The mid-foot strap, always the signature of the Diamond Turf line, lands with its bold Swoosh locked in place. “Nike Air Diamond Turf” stitched across the tongue helps finish the throwback feel.

Nike Diamond Turf 2 49ers 2026 Release Date

Nike Dunk Low “Donut” Now Available (June 2026)

By
Mario Briguglio
-

UPDATE 6/22/26: The “Donut” Dunk Low is now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 6/18/26:
The number 103 has been tied to Rukus from the moment the Baton Rouge skate shop first opened its doors back in 2000. Inspired by a local police code that was reportedly used to describe a disturbance call, it only made sense for a store built around rocking the scene.

Since that moment 103 has appeared all over Rukus apparel, videos, skate decks, stickers and social media. The shop is now dropping shoes that lean heavily on that history for its latest Nike Dunk Low collaboration.

With the Nike Donut Dunk as its foundation, Rukus weaves together its shop name and the archetypal cops, coffee, and donuts trope. Local donut shop Mary Lee Donuts, a staple in Baton Rouge for years, was invited along for the release to help further root it in the city.

Themed extras for the release include custom packaging, a plush “R” donut, a card describing the history behind the shoe, and a pair of classic white donut hats. Attendees will also spot a police car wrapped in special branding at the event, plus some extra goodies for the first fifty purchasers.

The Nike Dunk Low “Donut” will release June 20th at 1 PM CT at Mary Lee Donuts pop-up located at 3486 Drusilla Lane in Baton Rouge, with the rest of the pairs releasing online at Rukus103.com starting at 4 PM CT.

Additional releases at other retailers will follow in July.
