Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Denim” Set To Age Better Than White AF1s

This Nike Air Force 1 replaces the classic leather build with a sturdier material.

Nike’s classic AF1 build is often a canvas for color and texture changes. Black denim takes the place of leather and suede for a scruffier look. Stitched eyelets and Swoosh details carry over in a tonal finish. Nike Air branding is visible on the backtab and subtly applied. The black midsole and outsole follow suit, with a hint of contrast on metallic lace dubraes

Denim on sneakers isn’t new, from the recent Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 Pack to Nike SB Denim makeups. The worn texture gets better with wear, especially as it compares to white AF1s that require more upkeep.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Denim” releases Fall 2025 for $120 USD through Nike.com and select retailers.

KEEN UNEEK Loafer WK “Black” Now Available (August 2025)

UPDATE 8/28/25: The KEEN UNEEK Loafer WK in “Black” is now available via KEEN.

Original Story 8/21/25:
KEEN is dropping something different with the UNEEK Loafer WK, landing August 28th in smooth black leather. It’s not just another slip-on — this one balances casual sneaker energy with a dress shoe’s edge.

The design pulls straight from KEEN’s DNA. Woven cords wrap the forefoot and collar, a detail longtime fans will recognize from the UNEEK sandal line. Here, though, it leans closer to a boat shoe vibe, which honestly feels like the right call for today’s loafer wave.

Comfort gets plenty of attention too. The pair rides on KEEN.CURVE cushioning, a sole made for all-day wear. Try them on and you’ll feel the difference compared to stiff loafers you’d normally avoid after a few hours. It’s practical, but also sneakerhead-friendly.

Retail is set at $190 in unisex sizing. Limited pairs release through keenfootwear.com and select shops. If past hybrid models are any clue, these won’t sit for long.

Jordan Poole x Nike GT Cut 3 “Milk and Cookies” PE Releases Fall 2025

UPDATE 8/28/25: In-hand photos of Jordan Poole’s Nike Zoom GT Cut 3 “Milk and Cookies” PE have now appeared via @prm.cotd. These photos provide the most detailed look yet at the sneaker. The pair is expected to release during Fall/Holiday 2025, so stay tuned for this anticipated drop.

Original Story 7/8/25:
The Nike GT Cut 3 “Milk & Cookies” is officially releasing after debuting on Jordan Poole during a December 2024 game.

This tasty colorway draws inspiration from the classic dessert. The upper features golden brown suede with black and gray cookie-like spots. A chocolate-colored Swoosh trimmed in white adds to the sweet theme.

Blue accents hit the tongue and heel ZoomX plate, a nod to Jordan Poole’s current team colors. Fun details like a milk carton graphic on the heel boost the storytelling behind this flavorful pair.

Performance comes first on the GT Cut 3, designed for quick, explosive guards. Nike’s ZoomX foam provides lightweight bounce and smooth responsiveness. The outsole offers reliable traction for stop-and-go moves.

Once a player-exclusive PE just for Poole, the Milk and Cookies colorway now heads to retail shelves. It’s one of the few GT Cut 3s with a direct player story behind the design.

The Nike GT Cut 3 “Milk and Cookies” will release in Fall 2025 at Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com. Expect a retail price near the standard GT Cut 3 range.

Fans of Jordan Poole or dessert-themed sneakers won’t want to miss this fun and functional release.

Nike KD 4 “Texas” Returns October 24th

UPDATE 8/28/25: Scheduled to drop on October 24th, the Nike KD 4 “Texas” will debut as a throwback to Durant’s alma mater, and reissues a 2012 fan favorite colorway.

Original Story 7/8/25:
Kevin Durant’s journey from a college standout to NBA superstar began at the University of Texas. Though his college career lasted just one season, his impact was unforgettable. To honor his roots, Nike will bring back the beloved Nike KD 4 “Texas Longhorns” in Holiday 2025.

Originally released in 2012, this KD 4 colorway showcases the University of Texas pride. The shoe arrives in rich Longhorns orange, paired with clean white contrasts. It features a low-top synthetic leather upper combined with breathable mesh panels. A defining element of the design is the midfoot strap, offering added lockdown and support.

Comfort is also a focus, with the full-length Zoom-cushioned midsole providing responsiveness for both performance and everyday wear. Texas Longhorns logos proudly grace the tongue, while KD’s signature logo is placed on the heels.

This special release celebrates Durant’s unforgettable college run and his connection to the Longhorns community. Fans and sneaker collectors alike can expect this stylish and nostalgic pair to sell quickly.

Nike Air Max 95 OG “Solar Red” Releases October 2025

UPDATE 8/27/25: The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Solar Red” is expected to release on October 10th.

Original Story 6/2/25:
The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Solar Red” is back—and it’s bigger, brighter, and bubblier than ever.

After making waves in 2018, this iconic sneaker is returning for Fall 2025 with a key upgrade: Nike’s beloved Big Bubble Air unit. This chunky midsole not only amps up the comfort, but also revives the silhouette’s true 1995 spirit. Because let’s be honest—bigger is better when it comes to visible Air.

The gradient greys on the upper are lighter this time around, giving a fresh feel to the classic runner. Red hits on the lace loops, tongue branding, and visible Air units add that signature “Solar Red” pop sneakerheads crave. Add in white mesh and outlined Swooshes and you’ve got retro done right.

Nike Air Max 95 Solar Red 2025 Release Date

Priced at $190 USD, the Nike Air Max 95 “Solar Red” will release on October 10, 2025 at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com. The fall season is shaping up to be a season of heat, so mark your calendars before these burn out.

Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 SNKRS Exclusive Access Release At 1PM ET

UPDATE 8/28/25: The Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 sneaker release will drop on SNKRS via Exclusive Access. The tentative launch time is 1 PM ET.

Original Story:
The Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 2025 release is officially locked in, ending two decades of waiting since the original 2005 drop. Considered one of the most coveted Jordan collaborations ever, this olive green and black pair is now set for a wider launch.

After a Chicago-exclusive shock drop earlier this month, Nike has confirmed a SNKRS release on August 28th, 2025, retailing for $230. Early pairs surfaced through select boutique channels, fueling demand for what is shaping up to be one of the year’s top sneaker releases.

The Air Jordan 4 features premium nubuck, interchangeable tongue patches, and UNDEFEATED branding, details that nod directly to the 2005 original. Unlike that ultra-limited release, this launch broadens access, though Nike hints at an Exclusive Access Draw rather than first-come-first-serve.

As someone who remembers the original release era, I’d say this drop feels like a cultural full-circle moment. It’s rare that Jordan Brand lets a legend return in near-OG form, and this execution doesn’t disappoint.

Undefeated Jordan 4 SNKRS Release Date

Again, the Air Jordan 4 “Undefeated” will receive a SNKRS release on August 28th for $230 USD. Enjoy the official photos below.

Nike Dunk Low “Pink Rise” With Transparent Panels Releases September 11th

UPDATE 8/28/25: The transparent Nike Dunk Low “Pink Rise” will release on September 11th.

Original Story:
The Nike Dunk Low “Pink Rise” takes translucent sneakers to the next level this Fall 2025. Transparent sneakers have always been somewhat controversial. Clear sneakers tend to make people either love or hate them. Previous standouts like the CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death,” the Air Force 1 “Invisible Woman”, and Comme des Garçons’ Dunk High proved that see-through elements could help a pair leave a mark on sneaker culture. This new arrival is set to follow in their footsteps but with a contemporary approach.

This Nike Dunk Low is a women’s exclusive model with tinted transparent overlays in a pale “Pink Rise” hue on the toe box and side panels. Black pebbled leather inlays throughout keep the build strong and streamlined. Jeweled Nike lace dubraes add to the luxurious appeal, and a black midsole provides much-needed contrast. Underfoot, a translucent pink outsole anchors the silhouette and echoes the upper’s tinted touches.

Nike has dabbled with translucent builds on past models, but this Dunk feels like it’s a more approachable design due to the balance in color. The mixture of black leather and muted pink hues keeps the design from being too much and helps it be more versatile for rotation. That color balance is what makes this new release different from past clear models.

The Nike Dunk Low “Pink Rise” will release on September 5, 2025, from select European retailers in women’s sizes. A U.S. launch has will follow on September 11th.

As translucent sneakers receive increased attention, this pair will likely be one of the more exciting Dunk releases of the season.

Original Story 5/27/25:
Get ready to flex some serious martial arts drip—without throwing a single punch. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is celebrating Bruce Lee’s 85th birthday with a new adidas Jabbar Low “Bruce Lee” colorway that’s laced with legendary flair and kicks serious style.

Built with rich yellow suede and smooth leather, these sneakers scream Game of Death—without the actual danger. Black accents cut through the bold yellow like a roundhouse kick, paying homage to Bruce Lee’s iconic jumpsuit.

On the heel, metallic gold features Lee mid-air, and his signature is stitched near the sole—just in case you needed proof the kicks are elite.

But wait, there’s more kung fu magic. The insoles showcase rare black-and-white film stills of Bruce Lee with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as a nod to their iconic fight scene from the 1978 film “Game of Death.”

Each pair arrives in a collector’s box with golden details and a snapshot of the two legends mid-handshake. Even the tissue paper flexes—featuring both icons in T-poses that make you realize just how long Kareem’s arms are.

The Bruce Lee x adidas Jabbar Low drops August 30, 2025 at adidas.com and select retailers.

Wrap-up? These aren’t just sneakers—they’re a martial arts masterpiece. Add them to your rotation, or forever live with sneaker regret.

Nike Dunk Low SE “Black Cat” Releases Holiday 2025

The Nike Dunk Low “Black Cat” is the latest triple black sneaker to land in Nike’s catalog just in time for the Holidays. While the release pulls inspiration from stealthy silhouettes, it also is a reflection on the growing popularity of the Air Jordan 4 “Black Cat” that returns in November 2025.

The Dunk Low is finished in all-black S/B construction from a mixture of nubuck and suede. The layering of these materials adds depth while the tonal Swooshes, embroidered branding, and rubber outsole remain true to the minimalist formula. Rope-style laces serve as a small change of pace on the upper, adding a touch of rugged flair. That’s the kind of detail that Dunk fans will notice.

Nike has thrown its weight behind tonal colorways of late and this Dunk Low SE “Black Cat” fits in nicely with other recent releases. It will hit store shelves alongside another “Triple Black” Dunk Low release that will be fully equipped with GORE-TEX, allowing sneakerheads even more choices for both casual and weather-appropriate footwear.

The Nike Dunk Low “Black Cat” is set to release during the 2025 Holiday season at Nike.com and select retailers.

Florida Gators Receives Air Jordan 1 Low OG Cleats For 2025 Season Opener

The Air Jordan 1 Low OG Florida Gators Cleats 2025 were revealed alongside a special pair of Air Jordan 4 cleats ahead of the new college football season. Designed exclusively for the team, the pair combines Florida’s bold blue and orange with clean white panels.

Jordan Brand has long provided the Gators with Player Exclusive sneakers, but this cleat stands out for its unique details. Elephant print overlays—borrowed from the Air Jordan 3—appear on the forefoot and heel, giving the design extra heritage flair. That’s the type of crossover sneakerheads instantly notice.

Branding adds to the exclusivity. One tongue tag features Nike Air, while the other highlights the Gators. The Air Jordan Wings logo sits proudly on the heel, reinforcing the link between basketball history and football culture. Small touches like these make this pair memorable, even if it will never release publicly.

This Air Jordan 1 Low OG Florida Gators Cleats 2025 is a team-only issue. Fans can only admire the photos, as no retail drop is planned.

Florida Gators Air Jordan 4 Cleats Unveiled Ahead of 2025 Season Opener

The Air Jordan 4 Florida Gators Cleats 2025 have been revealed just before the season’s first kickoff. Created as a true player exclusive, the cleats take Tinker Hatfield’s 1989 original and reshape it into a football-ready silhouette.

The Gators are no stranger to special drops from Jordan Brand, as the partnership has produced some of the most notable PE footwear in college sports. This year’s Air Jordan 4 leans into Florida’s identity with a standout combination of royal blue and orange, with crisp white hits used on the mesh panels, laces, and midsoles. Nike Air branding returns on the heel, helping to remind fans of the AJ4’s sneaker heritage.

The cleats will never see a traditional release as they will be a true player exclusive. The exclusivity is a large part of what makes them so desirable, as only players on the Gators roster will lace them up under the lights at Steve Spurrier-Florida Field. For sneakerheads, that level of rarity immediately pushes the pair into the “grail” category, especially as Jordan Brand continues to use the AJ4 as a storytelling canvas.

One of the biggest things to note, however, is how faithfully the football cleats capture the AJ4 design DNA. From the grid mesh cages to the sculpted midsole, every detail feels authentic, even while being reinterpreted for performance. It’s the kind of crossover execution that sneaker fans take notice of, which in part helps explain why Jordan PEs have become legendary.

These Air Jordan 4 Florida Gators Cleats 2025 aren’t set to have a retail release, but the debut still highlights Jordan Brand’s power both on the hardwood and gridiron. These will likely be a talking point all season as one of the cleanest college football PEs we’ve seen in a while.

Nike Pegasus Premium Releasing in Tasty “Mushroom” Colorway

Nike continues to refresh the Pegasus family. One of the latest additions to the series is the Nike Pegasus Premium “Mushroom”. The style features minor tweaks to the overall design aesthetic.

Changes are subtle. The “Mushroom” colorway removes some of the standard overlay, shortening the tongue and removing the rear branding tag for a cleaner look.

On the underside of the shoe, the Air Zoom text is omitted while the cushioning unit and capabilities are the same. It offers a muted beige upper built from layered materials that serves many styles. Metallic Silver accents are used on the Swoosh and molded Air Zoom unit.

The Nike Pegasus Premium SP “Mushroom” will be available Fall 2025 for $220 at Nike.com and some retailers.

Nike’s Pegasus series has seen plenty of iterations over the years as both a lifestyle and performance shoe. The latest addition to the sneaker’s family does not deviate from this expectation.

New Balance 1906W Comes With Toothpaste Green Accents

The New Balance 1906W “Grey/Green” will launch Fall 2025 with a fresh update for the classic silhouette.

Mesh and synthetic overlays make up the layered, tonal grey upper. While mint green lines on the collar, laces and “N” logo provide just enough contrast to make a statement, but remain understated and versatile. Meanwhile, TPU heel tabbing and FantomFit insole add minimal structure, true to its performance heritage.

Inside, N-ergy heel cushioning is accented by the exposed green pods for a touch of style as well as impact protection. As with the rest of the shoe, the Ortholite sockliner and padded collar do their job to keep you comfortable day in and day out, whether that’s through running or simply as a daily driver. The tough outsole on the bottom also won’t let you down in terms of durability, so you can slot it into regular rotation with ease.

The New Balance 1906W “Grey/Green” will be available Fall 2025 on NewBalance.com and at select retailers for $155.

While New Balance has leaned into the retro feel of this line, they always also look to balance the throwback DNA with modern updates and improvements, which this shoe has in spades. Grey/Green is a particularly fresh shade for the classic 1906W, looking understated while still feeling new in all the right ways.

New Balance 991v2 Appears in Lavender Colors

New Balance’s Heritage line is set to release the 991v2 “Purple Sage” Fall 2025. This Made in England edition will be crafted in soft pigskin suede and breathable mesh in a lavender shade for a luxurious appearance.

Grey accents have been used on the “N” logo, heel badge and tongue branding to keep New Balance’s heritage DNA intact. The two-tone midsole is a white and cream color, while the translucent ABZORB pods keep things comfortable. A black outsole rounds things out with contrast.

Willy Chavarria x adidas Jabbar Low “Off White” Drops August 29th

Mixing basketball history and high fashion minimalism, the Willy Chavarria x adidas Jabbar Low comes dressed in Off-White and Gold. This Jabbar Low reintroduces a classic from the archives of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Crafted from premium leather, the upper takes shape from a shell toe, a detail that is a familiar nod to adidas’ basketball legacy. Gold foil lettering spells WILLY on one and KAREEM on the other, giving proper respect to both collaborators’ names. The oversized fold-over tongue with gold script branding raises the bar for Jabbar redesigns of the past.

The shoe’s minimalist silhouette oozes timelessness while simultaneously translating to lifestyle settings away from the court. Compared to past Jabbar retro releases, this iteration is more fashion-forward in approach. It will likely capture the eyes of sneakerheads in need of some strong but subtle detail. Te low-key colorway gives it one of the most wearable adidas collaborations of the year.

The Willy Chavarria x adidas Jabbar Low “Off White” will release August 29th, 2025 for $160 at adidas.com and select retailers.

Nike Doernbecher Freestyle 21 (2026) Collection Includes The Air Jordan 17

Nike Doernbecher Freestyle is one of the most special traditions in sneakers. For 20-plus years, the program has raised over $40 million for OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, allowing young patients to express themselves by designing custom sneakers. Patient creators then auction their own pairs off to raise funds for the hospital, with each design a unique combination of their inspirations, interests, and courage.

Across two decades, the Doernbecher Freestyle Collection has included everything from Air Max essentials to highly coveted Air Jordans. One retro silhouette has always taken center stage in the lineup. For 2025, the spotlight will shine on the Air Jordan 17, the model recently confirmed to lead the Doernbecher Freestyle 21 Collection.

According to Kicks Finder, the Doernbecher Freestyle 21 also includes an impressive supporting cast. Making the journey with the Air Jordan 17 are the Air Force 1 ’07, Air Max DN8, Air Max Plus, V2K Run, and Vomero Plus. Each silhouette has its own unique history as a heritage classic or performance sneaker and will be recreated with a patient design ethos. That’s the care that sneakerheads will take notice of – no two pairs of these shoes will ever feel the same.

Nike will officially unveil the entire Doernbecher Freestyle 2026 Collection on October 17th, 2025, at the Portland Art Museum. All pairs are set to release in Spring 2026, via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.

First looks, designer backstories, and auction details will be released as the official reveal date nears.
