Tasnim Chowdhury’s Nike Air Works Sneaker Brings Air Max Into 3D

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Tasnim Chowdhury is the latest designer to show what she’s been working on through Nike Air Works, revealing a new 3D-printed sneaker created with Zellerfeld. The British-Bangladeshi designer is one of eight creatives involved in the program, which has been used to experiment with new footwear shapes and manufacturing methods.

The sneaker takes a few familiar ideas from older Air Max models and works them into a completely different build. Curved sections stretch up from the midsole and across the forefoot, giving the upper a look that brings the Air Max Moto 2K to mind. Since the shoe is 3D printed, those shapes are formed directly into the structure instead of being built from separate stitched panels.

Exposed Air cushioning sits underfoot and gives the sole another connection to Nike’s past. The shape and placement of the visible units are similar to what has been used on the Air Max Plus, while the rest of the shoe leans much more into the sculpted look that has become part of Zellerfeld’s printed footwear.

Chowdhury first showed the sneaker during a Nike Air Works event at Manor Place in London. For now, the design remains part of the Air Works program, and a release date has yet to be announced.

SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 Retail Pair Revealed

By
Mario Briguglio
-

SoleFly and Jordan Brand are linking up again in 2026, with the Miami shop putting its spin on the Air Jordan 5. Following last year’s Air Jordan 3 collaboration, we now have a closer look at the retail version of their next release.

The shoe is built around a grey suede upper, with black filling in the tongue, eyelets, side netting and parts of the midsole. Teal adds some color across the lacelock, Jumpman on the tongue, heel branding and the shark teeth, keeping most of the same look seen on the early sample pair.

There is one noticeable change between the sample and the final version. SoleFly’s logo near the heel was done in teal on the sample, while the retail pair uses black instead. It doesn’t completely change the shoe, but it does make the finished version feel a little darker overall.

More SoleFly details appear throughout the design, including an oversized logo piece attached to the upper and teal Nike Air embroidery on the heel. Underneath, the translucent outsole comes with a Muslin tint that gives the bottom of the shoe a slightly aged finish.

Officially dressed in Black, Aurora Green, Anthracite and Muslin, most of the shoe stays in darker grey and black shades, with Aurora Green providing the teal hits.

The SoleFly x Air Jordan 5 is expected to release in October 2026 for $225. An exact release date has yet to be announced. Check out the retail pair below.

Air Jordan 9 Boot “Iridescent” Releases Holiday 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Air Jordan 9 has been showing up a lot in 2026. Jordan Brand already has pairs like the “Space Jam,” “What The Kilroy,” and “Flint” on the way, and now the Air Jordan 9 Boot is coming back too.

The Air Jordan 9 Boot first released in 2017. It took the regular AJ9 and gave it a tougher build for colder, wetter weather. The shape stayed familiar, but the materials were heavier and the overall look was more rugged. Jordan Brand kept bringing the boot back here and there through 2021, including brighter colorways and a few college exclusives.

For Holiday 2026, the Air Jordan 9 Boot returns in an “Anthracite/Multicolor” colorway. Most of the shoe stays dark, with grey shaggy suede covering the upper. The side panels add some contrast with an iridescent finish that shows different colors when the light hits it.

The Air Jordan 9 Boot NRG “Iridescent” is expected to release during Holiday 2026 for $240.

Nike Mind 002 Flyknit Goes Earthy in “Light Bone”

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Mind 002 Flyknit is getting another colorway for Fall 2026, pairing Light Bone with Infinite Gold, Wheat, and Saturn Gold.

Most of the upper stays in Light Bone, but the warmer shades take over the tongue, collar, laces, stitching, and parts of the knit. The mix of Flyknit textures gives the shoe a more handcrafted look than most of Nike’s recent lifestyle models. That comes through most around the fuzzy Wheat tongue and collar, along with the exposed edges and wraparound lacing.

Yellow tones also peek through the forefoot knit, while darker gold stitching adds some contrast along the sides. The bulky Light Bone midsole keeps the color blocking grounded and puts more focus on the outsole.

Underfoot, the Mind 002 uses Nike’s sensory-focused Mind system, built with individual foam nodes that are made to move with each step. Those rounded pods come in Saturn Gold on this pair and give the bottom of the shoe its most noticeable hit of color.

The Nike Mind 002 Flyknit “Light Bone/Saturn Gold” is set to release in Fall 2026 for $145.

Gohar World Gives the ASICS GEL-DS Trainer a Jewelry Makeover

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Gohar World plays around with the ASICS GEL-DS Trainer SP formula slightly. Keeping the low ballet silhouette intact, the pearls, piercings, and mismatched charms lend it more of a handmade feel and far less polished than most pairs associated with the trend.

The GEL-DS Trainer SP already sits somewhere between a ballet flat and a mid-2000s track spike, which gives Gohar World an unusual base to work with. Chicken Foot Pearl, Potato Pearl, Baroque Pearl, and Black Onyx charms are attached across the shoe, while stainless-steel piercings add another layer of hardware to the design.

A silver-plated copper Gohar Bean is also worked into the collaboration, and the shoe comes with both black and orange laces. Underneath all of the added decoration, the model still uses the familiar ASICS performance foundation built into the GEL-DS Trainer SP.

The campaign is just as unconventional as the shoe itself. Gohar World photographed the collaboration around a table featuring human legs, avoiding the polished ballet imagery that has become common as more brands move into the low-profile footwear space.

The Gohar World x ASICS GEL-DS Trainer SP releases September 1, 2026, exclusively through Gohar World for $218.

Nike Book 2 Team Bank “Midnight Navy” Now Available

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

White covers most of the Nike Book 2 Team Bank “Midnight Navy,” with navy wrapping the toe and running along the lower half toward the heel. Metallic Silver fills the Swooshes, giving the otherwise simple white-and-navy setup its main point of contrast.

White mesh makes up the base, with faint grey lines visible through the midfoot and matching overlays around the laces and collar. The Swooshes are outlined in navy stitching, and that same Midnight Navy carries down onto the midsole. White laces and grey lace loops handle the rest.

Booker branding is worked in without overdoing it. “BOOK” appears on the tongue labels, his logo sits on the insoles, and “CHAPTER TWO” runs down the heel pull tabs. There’s also another Booker graphic behind the tongue. A white rubber outsole with circular traction patterns finishes the shoe.

The Nike Book 2 Team Bank “Midnight Navy” released August 26, 2026 in White/Midnight Navy-Metallic Silver for $145 via Nike.com and select retailers.

New Balance 990v4 Made in USA Goes “Navy” For Fall 2026

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The 990v4 gets a darker treatment for Fall/Winter 2026 in this Made in USA colorway from New Balance.

Made primarily of navy, Meteorite, and Kombu green materials, the upper begins with navy mesh and layers of coordinating suede across the toe, midfoot, and heel sections. Kombu green is featured through the laces, tongue, heel, and a few small trim sections. It adds some contrast to the shoe without overpowering it. There are silver “N” logos on the sides of the shoe that pop off the darker background nicely.

The Meteorite-colored midsole echoes that color scheme on the lower half of the shoe while staying within that same muted color palette. The rubber outsole is coated in the same Meteorite finish. The rest of the details are your typical 990v4 stuff, including its mesh + suede construction and ENCAP midsole cushioning.

This sneaker keeps it pretty mellow compared to some other louder takes on the 990 we’ve seen. The navy and green add enough flavor to keep it interesting, and the silver branding helps break up all that darkness.

New Balance will release the 990v4 in “Navy/Meteorite” during Fall/Winter 2026. Find them through New Balance and select retailers for $180.

Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish “Red” Releases October 2026

By
Mario Briguglio
-

The Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish is getting a new red colorway for fall 2026.

Revealed by Sneaker News, the pair uses two different shades of red across the upper. A brighter tone covers the overlays and toe, while Team Victory Red fills in the base and parts of the midsole. Black Three Stripes break up the color along the sides, with grey details added around the raised panels.

The Adistar Jellyfish has become one of the main shoes connected to Pharrell’s VIRGINIA project. Its bulky shape takes cues from the older adidas Adistar Cushion, but this pair moves away from the more traditional colors seen on some of the earlier releases.

The Pharrell x adidas Adistar Jellyfish “Red” is expected to release October 24, 2026 for $300.

Jordan Brand will bring The One Global Finals to Shanghai on August 29, where ten players from around the world will compete in the brand’s one-on-one basketball tournament. The finalists earned their spots through qualifying events held in cities including New York and Tokyo before advancing to the championship round in China.

Shanghai has also become the backdrop for several Jordan Brand events leading into the finals. The Air Jordan 41 was officially unveiled during the trip and will make its debut with a China-exclusive colorway. Jayson Tatum has been on hand meeting fans, while Paolo Banchero, Jared McCain, and Stephon Castle have also joined the activities.

Sneaker design will be part of the weekend as well. The Jordan Design Studio competition is down to eight concepts, with the winning entry set to be selected during The One Global Finals. That design will eventually move forward for a public release.

The Jordan Brand The One Global Finals take place August 29, 2026, in Shanghai.

Salehe Bembury x Puma Velum 2 Nitro Pack Releases September 3rd

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Salehe Bembury and Puma are back with the Velum 2 Nitro, a new runner that brings his sculpted design style to a mesh build with NITROFOAM underfoot. The shoe will launch in “Terracotta” and “Alloy” colorways on September 3, 2026.

Terracotta carries the louder of the two looks. Peach tones wrap the toe, eyestay, lower sidewalls, and midsole, while red mesh fills the toe box and midfoot. Curved sections divide the colors across the upper, giving the shoe the same organic, molded feel that has become a regular part of Bembury’s footwear work.

Fingerprint-style textures show up on the tongue and continue onto the midsole, adding one of Bembury’s most recognizable design cues without taking over the shoe. Puma’s NITROFOAM sits underfoot, bringing running-based cushioning into a model that leans more toward everyday wear than performance use.

The Alloy colorway keeps the same shape and construction but strips back the palette with white and grey across the upper. That simpler setup puts more attention on the layered build, mesh sections, and exaggerated curves running through the design.

The Salehe Bembury x Puma Velum 2 Nitro releases first on August 31, 2026, through Salehe Bembury’s website. A wider launch follows on September 3, 2026, through Puma and select retailers. Both colorways are priced at $160.

NFL x Crocs Classic Clog Collection Drop for the 2026 Season

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Crocs is back with another NFL collection, this time bringing 17 teams to the Classic Clog. The pairs are pretty straightforward, using each team’s colors, logos, and name without loading them up with extra details.

Teams included in the collection are the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans, and Houston Texans.

Each pair comes in a two-color setup based on the team’s usual palette. Franchise logos are placed along the side of the clog with a shadowed effect, while the toe gets either the team name or another logo. The design is noticeably more restrained than some of the NFL Crocs released in 2025 and earlier in 2026, which used more specific details tied to individual teams.

Not every NFL franchise made this round. Teams such as the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Jets, and several others are absent from the current lineup.

The latest NFL x Crocs Classic Clogs are available now for $70 through Crocs. The collection also includes matching NFL Jibbitz charms, socks, and clear stadium bags.

Jack Harlow’s New Balance T500 “Olmsted” Takes Inspiration From His Favorite Parks

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Jack Harlow is putting his own spin on the New Balance T500 with a new “Olmsted” colorway tied to parks in both Louisville and New York City. The name comes from Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect behind Central Park and Prospect Park in New York, along with Cherokee Park in Louisville.

The Jack Harlow x New Balance T500 “Olmsted” comes dressed in brown from top to bottom. Soft, wrinkled leather covers the upper in a Black Coffee shade, while brown laces and a matching midsole keep the look simple. The tongue also drops the usual branding for a cleaner finish.

The idea has a personal connection for Harlow. He spent time at Cherokee Park growing up in Louisville and now spends time around Central Park and Prospect Park in New York. All three were designed by Olmsted, giving the shoe a link between where Harlow came from and where he lives today.

The Jack Harlow x New Balance T500 “Olmsted” will first release at a free pop-up at Cherokee Park in Louisville on August 28, 2026, at 3 PM. A wider release follows September 4 through New Balance. The shoe comes in unisex sizing and is priced at $130.

Nike Sabrina 4 “Superstition” Is Built Around Her Pregame Ritual

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

The Nike Sabrina 4 “Superstition” brings one of Sabrina Ionescu’s pregame habits into her signature line. Ionescu is known for sticking to a set routine before tipoff, including a rule that she won’t leave the court until she knocks down a half-court shot.

Pale Purple runs across nearly the entire shoe, from the toe and laces to the collar and midsole. The side panels use a sheer mesh that lets the pattern underneath show through, while matching overlays frame the upper and keep the look clean.

Green, blue, and purple do most of the work once you get into the details. The lateral Swoosh fades from mint green into royal blue and purple, with the same colors stretching across parts of the midsole and translucent outsole. A smaller green Swoosh appears on the medial side near the heel.

Ionescu’s logo lands on the tongue with another multi-color finish, while her signature is molded into the lateral heel area. Underfoot, the outsole continues the green-to-blue-to-purple fade and adds a large Swoosh through the center of the traction pattern.

The Nike Sabrina 4 “Superstition” releases September 9, 2026 for $135 at Nike.com and select retailers.

New Balance Unveils Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 Collection

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Teddy Santis has more New Balance Made in USA pairs lined up for Fall/Winter 2026, with the 990v4, 992, 993, and 1300 all getting new colorways. The season starts with softer shades, then works its way into darker mixes of burgundy, navy, green, and brown.

A Grey Violet 990v4 and a Grey Violet/Timberwolf 993 kick things off. Both use hairy suede, giving them a more textured finish than the usual releases. The 990v4 comes in a light lilac shade, while the 993 has a warmer, almost dusty yellow look.

A Sea Salt New Balance 1300 comes next, joined by Blue Oyster and Mulled Wine accents across its suede construction. The mostly cream-colored base keeps the retro runner clean, while the blue and burgundy details add some color around the upper.

Two leather-heavy 990v4 colorways are lined up for the third drop. Monarch Burgundy and Pumpernickel cover one pair, while another combines NB Navy with Meteorite and Kombu for a deeper, more muted mix of blue, grey, and green.

The New Balance 992 takes over the fourth release in Medusa Green, Cortado, and Thunder Brown. Pigskin suede, nubuck, and Horween leather are used across the upper, giving the familiar 992 construction a mix of textures and darker fall tones.

Another New Balance 993 follows in Shadow Blue with Cortado and Black detailing. Embossed pigskin suede changes up the texture of the upper and separates it from the earlier 993 included in the collection.

Black, Afterglow, and NB Navy cover the next New Balance 992, with leather and mesh making up most of the build. Cream-colored sections break up the darker upper while keeping the overall look fairly understated.

The final drop brings the 992 back again, this time in Sport Green, Interstellar, and Arctic Grey. Green and purple shades run across a suede and mesh upper, making it one of the more colorful pairs from the seasonal range.

The New Balance Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 collection begins releasing September 3, 2026, through New Balance and select retailers, with additional drops scheduled to follow throughout the season.

Nike ACG Picklejus Is Built for 100-Mile Trail Races

By
Mason Tiniuc
-

Nike ACG built the Picklejus for the kind of trail races where runners can spend more than 100 miles in the mountains. That means the shoe has to work just as well grinding uphill as it does coming back down, where cushioning and stability become even more important as the miles pile up.

A lot of that comes down to the midsole. Instead of using one type of foam throughout, Nike pairs two versions of ZoomX in a single co-molded platform, a first for the brand’s trail running shoes. The middle is softer to absorb impact and keep some comfort underfoot, while firmer ZoomX runs around the edges to steady the foot and provide support similar to a plate without actually adding a traditional rigid one.

Trail-specific Flyknit covers the upper, backed by containment cables that help keep the foot locked in over uneven ground. Hydrophobic yarns are used to limit water absorption, and the higher cuff takes cues from a gaiter to help keep dirt, rocks, and other debris from working their way inside.

The Picklejus also introduces GOATEK, ACG’s new outsole platform developed for wet and unpredictable trail conditions. Nike says the rubber provides 45% more traction on wet surfaces and 25% better abrasion resistance than its previous all-terrain outsoles.

Even the name ties back to endurance running. Pickle juice has become a familiar sight at long-distance events because some runners use it when dealing with muscle cramps. Nike leans into that reference with a bright, acidic green debut colorway, while the shoe’s curved rocker shape gives the design another subtle connection to the name.

The Nike ACG Picklejus is scheduled to release in late 2027 through Nike and select retailers. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Air Jordan 3 “Metallic Silver” Football Cleats Releasing September 10th

By
Mario Briguglio
-

With football season getting started, Jordan Brand is bringing the Air Jordan 3 back to the field in a new “Metallic Silver” colorway.

The football-ready AJ3 keeps things simple with silver covering nearly the entire shoe. Tumbled leather makes up most of the upper, while the tongue and elephant print panels are finished in the same shade. With no extra colors mixed in, the cleat has a clean look that should be easy to pair with just about any uniform.

Most of the changes are found underfoot. The regular Air Jordan 3 sole is swapped out for a cleated TD plate built for traction on grass and turf. Above that, the shoe still looks much like the basketball version, keeping the familiar AJ3 shape and details intact.

Jordan Brand has been turning its retro sneakers into football cleats for years, so the Air Jordan 3 TD is nothing new to the field. The model has already appeared in several colorways, including a version connected to the Levi’s x Jordan collection earlier this year.

The Air Jordan 3 TD Cleats “Metallic Silver” releases September 10, 2026, for $205 on SNKRS and at select Jordan Brand retailers.
