Jun 11, 2026

Nike continues to update the Air Max 95 Tech for Summer 2026 with the arrival of a “Smoke Grey/Football Blue” colorway. The sneaker will drop through Nike.com and select retailers for $200.

Smoke Grey slides onto the mesh tongue, laces, collar, and majority of the upper. Translucent side overlays modernize the famous wavy panels while keeping true to the shoe’s layered construction. White leather accents on the toe and mudguard help brighten up the silhouette.

Football Blue takes on a smaller role, but handles most of the visual duties. Dressing the lace loops, mini Swooshes, insoles, visible Air units and outsole pods. The blue-tinted foam also pops favorably off the White midsole, particularly when viewing the side profile.

Nike caps the footwear with oval-shaped Air Max tongue badges, Nike Air branding at the heels, rope-style laces, and an uppermost White rubber outsole. Honestly, it’s like an Air Max 95 first, only more refined with that tech-runner edge.

The Nike Air Max 95 Tech “Smoke Grey/Football Blue” will drop Summer 2026 retailing at $200.

K-Swiss is honoring its 60th anniversary with a new K-Swiss Racquet Club 60th Anniversary Collection curated by Anwar Carrots. The five-shoe pack releases globally on June 12th through KSwiss.com and select retailers.

The collection brings together the KSRC Before the Classic, KSRC Classic 66, KSRC GSTAAD, KSRC Konejo, and KSRC Hypercourt Express 3. Instead of focusing on one era, the lineup covers a wider piece of K-Swiss history, from archival tennis models to lifestyle updates and a true performance tennis shoe.

K-Swiss uses its signature “Corporate” colors throughout the pack, mixing red, white, and blue from the brand’s shield logo. Each pair also includes anniversary details such as red and gold sock liners, a commemorative gold charm, and special gold packaging.

The KSRC Before the Classic arrives in Dazzling Blue, Snow White, and Gum, giving the pack a look at the model that came before the Classic 66. The KSRC Classic 66 follows in Wimbledon White, Mars Red, Dazzling Blue, and Gum, nodding to the original K-Swiss tennis shoe.

The KSRC GSTAAD, first introduced in 1986, returns in White, Mars Red, and Dazzling Blue. The KSRC Konejo shifts the collection into the early 2000s with a running-inspired build dressed in Wimbledon White, Metallic Silver, and Dazzling Blue.

The KSRC Hypercourt Express 3 finishes the group in White, Mars Red, Dazzling Blue, and Metallic accents. Its inclusion matters because it brings K-Swiss’ current performance tennis side into a collection built around the brand’s past, present, and future.

Carmelo Anthony’s Air Jordan 4 “London Olympics” PE Resurfaces

English Sole recently shared some great new shots of Carmelo Anthony’s iconic Air Jordan 4 “London Olympics” PE.

Commissioned specifically for Melo during the 2012 London Olympics, this player exclusive is deeply rooted in Team USA aesthetics. Consisting of a white leather upper and navy accents throughout the wings, heel tabs, netting, tongue patch and midsole. Stitched red perfectly complements the shoe lending an Olympic feel to the eyelets, inner lining, forefoot midsole and outsole.

However, the gold trim is the most striking aspect of this PE. Embellished with Metallic Gold Jumpman logos embroidered into the tongue and heel. This white-based sneaker was actually one of three Air Jordan 4 PEs made for Melo to commemorate the 2012 London Olympics. This version features a patriotically mixed color palette of white, navy, red, and gold detail.

Anthony’s Olympic record stands as one of the most impressive any American basketball player has ever achieved. Across his four Olympic participations, Anthony earned three golds and one bronze, establishing himself as one of Team USA’s premier international scorers. Special PEs were then made available to mark his career milestones.

Unlike the usual Air Jordan 4 drops, this “London Olympics” version was never actually meant for public purchase. Because of its rarity, special backstory, and Melo significance, it has become more sought after over time.

As of now, Carmelo Anthony’s Air Jordan 4 “London Olympics” PE is not expected to release.

Broken Arm x Salomon Savát “Cosmic Sky” and “Black Olive” Releases June 2026

The Broken Arm x Salomon Savát continues the brand’s collaboration with Salomon by dropping another low-cut option for Salomon’s trail mix. Design-wise, the Savát is much closer to looking like a DIY backpacker project than a straightforward performance runner. For one, it takes the burly sole offered on the Salomon S/LAB Cross 2 and subverts expectations from there.

The upper eschews synthetic sheets in favor of pliable leather panels, exposed stitching, and thin black speed laces.

“The Cosmic Sky” pair is softer-looking overall, but still packs plenty of outdoor heft. Pale lavender covers the upper, accompanied by green accents running through the forefoot and lateral panels. A rubber toe cap and black outsole keep things edgy, while Salomon branding towards the heel is trimmed white.

“The Black Olive” colorway is bolder with familiar trailrunning vibes. Deep olive tones cover most of the upper, contrasted by lighter stitching and black laces. Bright red Salomon branding hits near the heel, with matching blue and white traction pods visible below the rugged sole.

The collar only receives light padding, the majority of the construction seams remain exposed, and co-branded insoles connect The Broken Arm to the product without cluttering up the shoe.

The Broken Arm x Salomon Savát will release globally on June 16th via Salomon and select retailers.

adidas Climacool System Brings Cooling Recovery Tech To The World Cup

Jun 10, 2026

adidas is bringing Climacool back into the spotlight at the World Cup, but not as a regular sneaker release. The new adidas Climacool System is built around athlete recovery, pairing cooling apparel with an overshoe designed to help footballers deal with heat during matches and training.

The idea comes from motorsports, where athletes deal with high temperatures and need fast cooldown options between intense sessions. That background fits the setting, with the World Cup taking place across the United States, Mexico, and Canada during the summer.

A frozen gel vest anchors the system. Once worn, it helps cool the athlete’s body, while a shell jacket works as a protective layer to keep outside heat from cutting into the effect.

Footwear gets pulled into the setup through the Climacool Overshoe. Instead of replacing a football boot, it zips over one and uses the same gel-based cooling approach. adidas says the overshoe can lower foot temperature by 2°C in seven minutes.

adidas-sponsored World Cup players are expected to receive the Climacool System, so it should be visible around benches, training sessions, and recovery areas during the tournament. For now, adidas has not announced a public release.

Climacool has long been tied to airflow and temperature control, but this rollout takes the name somewhere more specialized.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Arriving With Premium “Triple Black Croc” Makeover

Jun 10, 2026

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Triple Black Croc” will release on July 1st, 2026. Instead of redesigning the black AF1 from top to bottom, this colorway gives it a material upgrade. The silhouette maintains the standard Triple Black aesthetic while swapping out smooth leather for an embossed fake crocodile upper.

True to its name, black covers everything you see on this shoe. That includes the laces, interior lining, Swoosh, midsole, and outsole. Adding a croc skin-like texture is the only change here. The pattern stretches over the toe box, sides of the shoe, and extending down to the heel. This works well on the AF1 since its layered construction gives each panel its own contour already.

Nike leaves the details subtle. A supple tonal Swoosh gently breaks up the upper just enough and a dark metallic lace dubrae gives a slight premium feel down by the forefoot. All else is quiet.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Triple Black Croc” will please anyone who enjoys the traditional black AF1 but craves more texture and closeup detail. Look for a release on July 1st, 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers.

KidSuper x BAPE STA World Cup Collection Releasing With StockX Auction

By

Jun 10, 2026

UPDATE 6/10/26: One signed pair of each KidSuper x BAPE Sta colorway will be auctioned off on StockX June 11-15th. Each pair will be signed by KidSuper founder Colm Dillane. Some colorways will release in-store on June 11th at KidSuper Studios in Brooklyn and at select BAPE stores in Japan. The plan is to offer the collection for pre-order down the line, but only the colorways that satisfy the order minimum will be manufactured.

Original Story 6/9/26:
KidSuper and BAPE are taking their latest BAPE STA collaboration to a global level for the 2026 World Cup.

After premiering their inaugural collab earlier this year, the two brands are releasing an extensive footwear collection celebrating the expanded 2026 roster. The collection will feature 48 KidSuper x BAPE STA colorways, each paying homage to one of the countries involved in the tournament.

The silhouette carries over the eye graphic from KidSuper’s original collab with BAPE. Individual pairs receive a country code on the heel tab. The color options largely borrow from real national flags, so each release sports a distinct team-inspired identity. Some countries get slightly more creative, like Japan whose color palette was inspired by retro 1996 World Cup jerseys.

Due to the massive number of releases, drops will take place in phases. The first 10 colorways, including the United States, Mexico, England, France, Japan, Spain, Ghana, Argentina, Brazil, and Portugal, are set to launch on June 11th via KidSuper and BAPE.

The other 38 pairs are expected to launch later through a pre-order setup, though full timing and delivery details have not been confirmed yet.

Looking at just how massive this year’s 2026 World Cup will be, this collab couldn’t be more timely. The KidSuper x BAPE STA collection is patriotic, international, and curated for fans who want merch with their home nation directly connected to it.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble Gets A 7-Eleven-Inspired Colorway

By

Mario Briguglio

Jun 10, 2026

Nike’s latest Air Max 95 draws on familiar street style, featuring a design that echoes 7-Eleven’s signature colors. Note: It’s not an official collaboration, just a colorway drawing inspiration from the store.

The Nike Air Max 95 “7-Eleven” features its signature layered suede upper in Gym Red, Sport Green, and Total Orange. All three colors mimic the color scheme we know and love from the store, while the furry suede texture upscales the sneaker. Light British Tan is used on the spine, tongue overlay, toe cap, and outsole. This may be a homage to traditional brown paper bags. White and Sail accents are also thrown on to tone down some of the vibrant colors.

You’ll find more 7-Eleven-esque touches on the Air Max tongue branding, the rope laces, and the printed insoles. Nike decided not to make this an official collab with the store, but the sneaker packs the perfect amount of inspired details to let you know where they got their inspiration from.

Originally, Nike had intended to drop a 7-Eleven x Nike SB Dunk Low in 2020, coinciding with the Tokyo Olympics, but the release was unfortunately scrapped. Still, because the shoe first appeared as a leak, it quickly became a must-have. This new Air Max 95, though not an official 7-Eleven collaboration, is practically guaranteed to sell out thanks to its well-chosen design cues.

The Nike Air Max 95 “7-Eleven” is slated for a July 11, 2026 drop, offered in men’s sizes. Retailing at $200.

Alongside this, a Lawson-themed Air Max 95 is part of this collection, though that particular shoe hasn’t surfaced yet.

Ben-G x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low “Light Chocolate” Releases Holiday 2026

By

Mario Briguglio

Jun 10, 2026

Nike SB’s Air Force 1 Low collection is beginning to take shape, and it seems like Ben-G is gearing up to be one of the first skate shops involved in the rollout.

The Amsterdam-based store will be dropping their Ben-G x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low that they had a hand in producing. This edition takes Nike’s classic Uptown silhouette and tweaks it for skateboarding. This is coming off of Ben-G’s epic take on the Nike SB Dunk Low back in 2019. The subtle white-and-green colorway was one of the most memorable SB releases from the store.

This latest Air Force 1 Low goes in a completely different direction. Early images depict a brown suede upper contrasting with purple accents, creating a bolder look while maintaining the classic AF1 silhouette. The heel displays BenG branding, establishing a clear shop connection without overwhelming the overall aesthetic.

Nike SB has already demonstrated that there is demand for remakes of heritage Nike shoes when they are geared toward skateboarding. The Air Jordan 4 SB continued to drive that point home, and now it looks like the Air Force 1 Low is next up on the list of big classics getting the treatment. It makes sense since the AF1’s low-cut profile, sturdy construction and streetwear pedigree lends itself to a bigger Nike SB push.

Sneaker Market RO reports that the Ben-G x Nike SB Air Force 1 Low is set to launch as part of a significant collection, a nod to Nike’s original “Color of the Month” series. The collection will apparently feature several editions from skate shops worldwide, with releases slated for the period between Holiday 2026 and Spring 2027.

Jun 10, 2026

Ducks Of A Feather is traveling abroad for their next collaboration with Nike, teaming up with Flight Club for a highly exclusive Air Max 1 drop inspired by Tokyo.

The DOAF x Flight Club x Nike Air Max 1 “Tokyo,” dropping on June 28th, is deeply meaningful, honoring Nike’s significant ties to Japan and one of its most celebrated shoe designs. Even though the shoe is available globally, its special launch at Flight Club Tokyo happens to fall right alongside the Tokyo Oregon Football Showcase, brought to you by Flight Club. During the event, Head Coach of Oregon Football Dan Lanning and a few select Ducks players will hit the field for a live showcase with Japanese athletes.

Beyond the main game events, Flight Club Tokyo is putting on a special Oregon-themed preview showcasing the university’s sneaker history through a lineup of its Player Exclusives. Attendees will get an exclusive sneak peek at sneakers connected to Tinker Hatfield and other pivotal figures from Nike’s Oregon lineage.

Flight Club Tokyo will continue the celebration by hosting a meet- greet with Tinker Hatfield on June 26th. Ducks Of A Feather and Flight Club will be in attendance to give fans an opportunity to meet the footwear legend. The collaboration between DOAF and Flight Club is already one to remember for Nike fans, but the chance to meet Tinker Hatfield takes it to the next level.

Registration for the DOAF x Flight Club x Nike Air Max 1 “Tokyo” will open on June 23rd and run through June 26th. A worldwide total of 300 pairs will be available.

Nike Air Max Goadome Low “Black” Releases June 18th

Nike ACG’s next black leather iteration will be the Nike Air Max Goadome Low SP “Black.” Dropping June 18, 2026 on SNKRS for $200, the shoe keeps the outdoor aesthetic minimalized through its low-top design, black leather upper, and bulky trail-ready sole.

Constructed almost entirely in black colorways, including the laces, midsole, and outsole, the shoe keeps the build looking utilitarian and tough with few decorative elements. The perforated sidewalls help break-up the leather upper while the rope laces and metallic eyelets resemble those you’d find on a hiking boot rather than your average all-black Nike shoe. There’s also a newly-added eye-stay loop along the midfoot to keep the laces tied-down tighter and help the upper draw a more technical look.

Foam Air sits prominently below the heel while a dense outsole and large treads sit at the bottom of the shoe. You can find ACG branding on both the midsole and outsole while Nike branding is printed on the insoles. An additional set of laces is also included with the shoe.

Purchase your pair of Nike Air Max Goadome Low SP “Black” sneakers on SNKRS June 18, 2026.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “Desert Khaki Denim” Mixes Suede and Washed Denim

Jun 10, 2026

Nike continues their textural updates to the Air Force 1 Low this Summer 2026 with this “Desert Khaki Denim” colorway. The shoe will launch Nike.com and at select retailers for $125 USD.

This release takes a step back from the signature leather construction we often see on the AF1 Low, utilizing soft khaki suede along with washed denim overlays. The denim accents adorn the toe, eyestays, Swoosh, collar, and heel for a rugged texture on a silhouette that has always been conducive to material variation.

The color scheme takes a minimalist approach with Desert Khaki and Light Khaki being present on nearly every element of the shoe. Panels of suede give the upper a soft base whereas the denim creates a contrast with the coarse texture of the overlays and stitched accents.

Laces, tongue, liner, midsole, and outsole are all done in Light Khaki to keep the shoe cohesive. Accents of Metallic Silver show up on the lace dubrae to give the shoe a hint of contrast while maintaining its muted aesthetic. Nike Air branding is placed on the tongue, heel tabs, insole, and outsole.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Desert Khaki Denim” is completed with a matching khaki gum rubber sole. Continuing Nike’s textural trend with this summer’s releases, this colorway focuses on fabrics and textures mixed with neutral tones. Keep an eye out for the shoe to release Summer 2026 retailing at $125 USD.

Dr. Martens and Fragment Strip Down The Hollingborn Brogue

Jun 10, 2026

The Fragment x Dr. Martens Made in England Hollingborn Brogue takes one of Dr. Martens’ more refined shapes and filters it through Hiroshi Fujiwara’s stripped-back design language. Built from the brand’s 5-hole base, the shoe moves into long-wingtip territory, giving it a dressier feel without making it look too traditional.

Black patent leather gives the upper its sharpest detail. Dr. Martens usually leans into rugged leather, contrast stitching, and workwear attitude, but this pair pulls almost everything into one tone. The eyelets, cord laces, welt, and stitching are all finished in black, including the usual yellow welt stitch. It changes the read of the shoe right away, making the brogue feel sleeker and more controlled.

Fragment’s details are subtle, but they still give the collaboration its identity. The lightning bolt logo is embossed on the heel, while white text along the lateral side adds Fujiwara’s familiar product-code style branding. A translucent gum outsole breaks up the black finish underneath without pulling the design in another direction.

The Fragment x Dr. Martens Made in England Hollingborn Brogue releases June 18, 2026, in Japan through Dr. Martens online, Dr. Martens stores, and select retailers including Dover Street Market Ginza.

BAPE STA “Y2K Glow” Pack Releases June 13th

Jun 10, 2026

BAPE will be dropping the BAPE STA “Y2K Glow” pack on June 13, 2026 via BAPE STORE and BAPE. COM. The pack consists of Blue, Green, and Red with each sneaker featuring a glossy white patent leather upper and transparent accents scattered throughout the design.

Glances at the shoes let you know Y2K is here. Transparent details are placed on the STA logo, Ape Head heel tab, tongue labels, lining, and outsole. The clear-cut details pay homage to the translucent technology and neon plastic accessories that were popular in early-2000s fashion. BAPE doesn’t overload the sneakers with extra graphics, keeping the reference readable.

Blue is the easiest pair to wear, using cooler translucent hits that blend naturally with the white base. Green stands out more, especially with the brighter accents across the side logo and heel. Red brings a stronger contrast and gives the pack its warmest option, but it still follows the same simple layout.

Silver lace dubraes and embossed BAPE branding on the midsole appear across each colorway. The translucent outsole does most of the work for the “Y2K Glow” theme, while the patent leather keeps the release close to what people expect from the BAPE STA.

The pack feels at home on this model because the BAPE STA already carries plenty of early-2000s streetwear history. Instead of forcing the theme, BAPE lets the materials and three color choices carry it.

New Balance 1906E Adds A Sleeker Mesh Update To The 1906 Line

Jun 10, 2026

Check out New Balance’s latest addition to their Summer 2026 sprinting lineup, the 1906E. The sneaker offers another refresh on the 1906 series, without diverging too much from the model’s classic runner silhouette. The most obvious change is on the upper, as this version parts ways with the stacked aesthetic the majority of buyers think of when seeing the 1906R.

New Balance constructed the sneaker with an all engineered mesh upper that features a flatter finish around the collar and panels. Throughout the forefoot and side pieces you’ll find perforations to help add some interesting texture to the shoe while keeping things lightweight. Rather than utilizing separate synthetic overlays New Balance incorporates the panel shapes into graphic details on the shoe.

On deck for release are Gradient Blue and Gradient Red/Black. As the names suggest, the blue color keeps things cooler and more tonal while the red/black combination utilizes higher contrast on the new build. Across both shoes, the printed-style panels really help this detail pop.

Shop both New Balance 1906E colorways release Summer 2026 at NewBalance.com and select retail locations. Stay tuned for updates on price.

New Balance 2000 Sleek Debuts With Streamlined ABZORB Design

Jun 10, 2026

New Balance is taking the 2000 series in a slimmer direction with the New Balance 2000 Sleek, expected to arrive in Fall 2026. Official images in grey and black show a model that keeps the original 2000’s chunky ABZORB base but tones down the upper.

Mesh covers the top portion of the shoe, while a wraparound leather panel runs along the lower half. That change gives the 2000 Sleek a more stripped-back profile without fully separating it from the main 2000 line.

The lower leather panel carries the shoe’s most noticeable detail, a scattered, moonrock-like texture that adds depth without crowding the design. New Balance keeps the branding quiet with small “N” logos near the lateral forefoot.

Thin reflective-style strips divide the mesh and leather sections, adding a small tech-runner touch. Grey and black pairs have surfaced first, while a neon yellow colorway seen in New Balance’s FW26 preview suggests the lineup may stretch beyond neutral options.

The New Balance 2000 Sleek is expected to debut in Fall 2026. Pricing, style codes, sizing, and full availability have not been announced yet.
