Another Nike Sabrina 3 Joins Its “Team Bank” Pack in “University Red”

Team colorways released this early in the year usually hint at how a signature line wants to play on court. Stepping right into that space, this drop delivers a clean, straightforward look that feels built for rotation rather than attention.

The Nike Sabrina 3 “University Red” packs less contrast and more texture. Heavy weave across the red textile upper transitions from matte at the forefoot to semi-sheer across the midfoot for understated depth that doesn’t interrupt the look. Bold white swoosh slides across the lateral side in a lightly pebbled texture. The molded white midsole maintains the clean and streamlined silhouette. On the ground the lateral traction unit hugs the earth around a pop of translucent red at midfoot.

Branding remains simple and intentional. A bold “S” sits on both the tongue and insole, and the molded red heel flows directly into the midsole. The result feels like a natural extension of Sabrina’s design language — streamlined, functional, and clearly team-first — while still fitting within the Nike Sabrina 3 “Team Bank” Pack.

The Nike Sabrina 3 “University Red” releases Spring 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers.

New Balance Quietly Rewrites Its Basketball Playbook With The P350 and P400

In the middle of an All-Star stretch that tends to spotlight signature lines, New Balance is quietly sharpening its basketball footprint with two in-line models aimed at very different players. Between the speed of today’s guards and the growing demand for sustained cushioning, the launch of the New Balance P350 and P400 feels timed as much for on-court needs as for calendar buzz.

Details lean into that split. The P350 borrows a breathable, runner-style mesh look while prioritizing quick lateral movement through FuelCell cushioning that’s intentionally denser on the outside edge, a subtle tweak that hints at how New Balance is refining stability without sacrificing feel. The P400, positioned as the spiritual next step from the Fresh Foam BB line, mixes EVA with Fresh Foam X in a dual setup and shows up in different builds, from mesh-like TPU to suede, suggesting a broader strategy for how the model can live both on court and off.

Release Date & Where To Buy

The New Balance P350 ($110) and P400 ($130) release February 11, 2026 on the New Balance website.

The Nike Air Max 90 Gets A “Light Spruce” Makeover

Quiet and toned down are probably the two words you’d use to describe this colorway. The shoe leans into a brighter washed sage on the exterior but transition into more of a muted olive green on the interior. This completely shifts the tone of the sneaker.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Spruce” stays in one lane with smooth leather across the toe, mudguard, and side panels. Darker plastic sits around the eyelets and heel, not as a bold contrast, just enough to add depth. The leather Swoosh blends into the upper instead of standing out.

Carrying over that muted finish, the midsole contrasts the transparent Air pocket where we can see the darker bubble engulfed within. Taking stock of the outsole, a deeper tone of Light Spruce is used on the bottom which complements the signature waffle pattern.

The Nike Air Max 90 “Light Spruce” releases Spring 2026 on Nike.com and at select retailers.

New Balance 204L Arrives in “Dark Silver Metallic”

A cool, reflective tone runs through New Balance’s current retro runner push, and this pair fits squarely within that moment. Soft light grey mesh forms the base, recalling the airy construction of late-’90s performance models, while silver panels trace the toe, midfoot, and heel with deliberate, winding lines. The raised stitched “N” sits cleanly at the center of that composition, framed by white leather that sharpens the contrast without feeling loud.

New Balance’s 204L “Dark Silver Metallic” looks streamlined rather than bulky, compared to some of their other recent chunkier revivals. Rounded overlays give it a subtle suggestion of movement even when standing still, while a padded tongue and collar prevent the profile from straying too far from classic running silhouettes. White laces provide contrast to the metallic shades, offering a more practical foundation instead of pure aesthetics.

Below, a sculpted white midsole lifts the heel just enough to give the profile shape, not drama. Black rubber wraps the bottom in segmented pods and flex grooves, a layout meant for everyday wear rather than statement making. Minimal color goes into the hidden heel counter too, as it’s highlighted by a large white NB logo. This helps mute the color palette a bit while also streamlining the look at the back.

Retailing at $120, the New Balance 204L “Dark Silver Metallic” will relate in Spring 2026 at NewBalance.com and select retailers.

Nike Turns Los Angeles Into A Living Game Board For All-Star Weekend

There’s a unique vibe to Los Angeles during All-Star Weekend when basketball fans flood the city from inside stadiums and arenas. Nike’s new SNKRS Maps Challenge encourages members to let basketball inspire their L.A. adventures by checking into select locations around the city.

Highlighted pins on an interactive map inside the SNKRS app will lead members to select destinations across Los Angeles. Acting as both a scavenger hunt and adventure guide, Nike’s new map challenge is simple by design, but encourages members to explore outside the typical hoops-related zones and venture beyond the calendar’s flurry of events and retail activations.

Members looking to take on Nike’s new adventure game will need to check in at three locations including Nike The Grove or Watts and conclude their journey at Crenshaw High School for exclusive SNKRS rewards. The challenge takes place Sat., Feb. 14 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and is available on a first come, first serve basis until supplies run out.

A Ma Maniere Reworks The adidas Jabbar Lo For 2026 All-Star Weekend

All-Star Weekend sometimes drags history into the present, and the A Ma Maniere x adidas Jabbar Lo lands quietly. Instead of chasing noise, the release lets Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s legacy breathe through measured details.

The Off-White leather upper initially appears pristine. But its construction is layered upon further inspection. There’s a lightly distressed hue to the Hazy Beige midsole without it feeling exaggerated. As for the tongue’s gold skyhook… think Jabbar’s signature presented more subtly like a tiny gold sticker.

The heel and insoles carry the story forward with precision. Blue and green tile patterns split across the left and right back tabs, creating subtle contrast against the neutral upper. Globe graphics inside nod to Kareem’s global reach while keeping the design uncluttered and focused.

The collaboration feels calibrated, balancing heritage cues with A Ma Maniere’s modern approach to luxury storytelling in basketball footwear. It suggests a slow, thoughtful shift in how adidas frames its archive through contemporary partners.

The A Ma Maniere x adidas Jabbar Lo will drop February 14, 2026 at adidas.com and select retailers.

Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard” Baseball Cleats Now Available (February 2026)

UPDATE 2/9/26: The Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard” baseball cleats are now available on Nike.com.

Original Story 9/26/25:
The Air Jordan 1 MCS Baseball Cleats “Shattered Backboard” take iconic sneaker nostalgia to the baseball field.

Channeling Michael Jordan’s unforgettable dunk during his trip to Italy, this retro-hitting pair reimagines the 1985 Shattered Backboard AJ1 Retro’s striking Starfish, White, and Black colorway.

Made in high-quality leather, the cleats feature orange overlays, white panels, and black accents throughout the Swoosh and eyestays. Expect to see the classic Air Jordan Wings logo, while the bright Starfish Jumpman on the tongue infuses heritage vibes sneakerheads will know well

Practicality comes in the form of the orange MCS cleated plate for secure grip and support on the baseball diamond. The mid-cut profile stays true to the traditional Jordan 1 silhouette while offering functional adaptation for play. A stylish crossover option that no players will want to pass up.

Expect the Air Jordan 1 MCS “Shattered Backboard” to release February 9, 2026 for $175 USD at Nike.com and select retail partners.

Vans and OAMC Take The Authentic and Half Cab Off The Beaten Path

Movement has always been part of Vans’ DNA, but this latest collaboration feels aimed beyond the skatepark and city curb. OAMC approaches the brand’s icons like technical objects, pushing them toward terrain where grip, protection, and restraint matter more than flash. The result is a pair of familiar silhouettes that behave very differently from how most fans remember them.

Instead of tweaking what already works, the OAMC x Vans Pack reshapes purpose. The Authentic becomes a low, lugged oxford with a composed, almost formal profile, while the Half Cab transforms into a true trail boot built for rougher ground. Both models sit on pronounced Vibram soles, giving the collection real performance intent rather than decorative heft.

The capsule aesthetically also deviates from previous desert tones. Olive camouflage covers uppers traditionally, done in a muted military style, while black suede options provide the freshest touch of minimalism keeping it understated. The tone shifted just slightly here: function over form and let the product speak for itself.

Don C’s Just Don x Bape Collection Releases February 14th

UPDATE 2/9/26: After Don C’s recent preview, the full Bape x Just Don collection has officially been revealed, featuring hoodies, tracksuits, headwear, and several Bape Sta models. The lineup releases first at the Bape Chicago store on February 12, 2026, before rolling out more widely at Bape Los Angeles and us.bape.com on February 14, 2026.

Original Story 2/5/26:
In a quiet, low-key tease, Don C has revealed what appears to be the first chapter of a new partnership with NIGO’s label. The reveal arrives through close-up imagery rather than a formal campaign, suggesting the rollout is moving at his pace, not the industry’s.

Snakeskin is the connector throughout the Don C x BAPE STA. It appears on the textured print landing over the shooting star logo for both colorways. From there, the aesthetic of the collab takes flight. One features a navy nubuck upper with bright-blue Just Don stitching along the heel. The other transitions to crisp white leather for a cleaner, more minimalist feel. Both sneakers place co-branding on the midsole and tongue. However, it feels secondary to the story being told through materials.

Also featured behind the kicks is a coordinating snapback. A snakeskin brim and jeweled BAPE print across the crown play into that sentiment. This looks more like a capsule collection instead of an individual drop. Even the camo box sitting below understatedly nods to BAPE’s brand icons.

Release details for the Just Don x Bape Sta “Python Pack” remain unconfirmed. Still, the timing and presentation strongly suggest a launch before the end of the year.

Nike GT Future “Warning Label” Releases For 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend

UPDATE 2/9/26: Official photos of the Nike GT Future “Warning Label” have surfaced, ahead of its expected February 13, 2026 release alongside the full “Warning Label” collection for NBA All-Star Weekend. The pair features a shimmery iridescent upper, a signature lace charm, and arrives in special edition packaging.

Original Story 2/5/26:
All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles is again becoming a proving ground for Nike Basketball’s most experimental ideas. Amid the league’s spectacle, Nike is pushing its forward-looking design language to the forefront with a metallic iteration tied to the “Warning Label” collection. The Nike GT Future “Warning Label” arrives as one of the weekend’s centerpiece exclusives, carrying both the energy of the event and the model’s unmistakable silhouette.

Wrapped in a highly reflective silver shell, the design amplifies the GT Future’s sculpted, wave-like upper rather than softening it. Light rolls across the surface differently from every angle, while black detailing on the heel Swoosh grounds the look. A small multicolor hit on the tongue—leaning toward gold—adds contrast without breaking the minimalist intensity.

Performance intent still sits at the core of the model, even if the visual treatment is the headline. The molded midsole and aggressive lines continue Nike’s push toward more expressive, form-driven basketball footwear, signaling a broader shift in how the brand is framing its next generation of on-court design.

Nike GT Future Warning Label Release Date

The Nike GT Future “Warning Label” releases February 13, 2026 in Los Angeles during All-Star Weekend, available through select in-person drops. The retail price tag is set at $230 USD.

Devin Booker Debuts Nike Book 2 “Kay Yow” PE

Pregame routines often reveal more than box scores, and Devin Booker’s latest warmups carried a message that extended beyond the court. Amid the bounce of basketballs and the hum of the arena, the Nike Book 2 “Kay Yow” surfaced in a saturated pink that instantly connected to Nike’s long-running partnership with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The moment felt less like a debut and more like a continuation of a tradition that has quietly shaped player exclusives for years.

Tonal pink wraps the upper from toe to heel, with crisp white landing on the Swoosh, laces, and midsole to keep the look clean rather than overwhelming. A small Kay Yow ribbon sits at the heel, serving as a restrained but unmistakable tribute without turning the design into overt symbolism.

The approach suggests a subtle evolution in how these PEs are handled—less graphic, more refined, still purposeful. Like most past Kay Yow pairs, this release is expected to stay friends-and-family only rather than reach retail shelves.

Like many past Kay Yow PEs, this Book 2 is expected to remain a friends-and-family exclusive rather than a retail release.

Salehe Bembury x New Balance 992 “Calm Be The Crater” Releases February 12th

UPDATE 2/9/26: Salehe Bembury has confirmed that his New Balance 992 “Calm Be The Crater” will release February 12, 2026 at 9AM PST / 12PM EST on salehebembury.com, inspired by the landscaping and deep blue waters of Oregon’s Crater Lake.

Original Story 12/26/25:
Salehe Bembury makes his first impression on the New Balance 992 and second on a Made in USA effort. If his 990v2 from 2022 leaned heavy on texture, earth derived color, and depth, the same is the case here. The timing also couldn’t be more perfect, given that the 992 keeps resurfacing as part of New Balance’s overall heritage initiative.

This marks Salehe Bembury’s first take on the New Balance 992 and only his second Made in USA project. Following his 990v2 from 2022, the approach again prioritizes texture, earth-driven color, and depth. The timing feels deliberate, especially as the 992 continues resurfacing under New Balance’s broader heritage push.

A vivid blue mesh base anchors the upper, layered with green leather panels and wrapped in thick, hairy suede overlays. Grey suede adds contrast along the mudguard, while cork insoles and exposed branding details reinforce Bembury’s material-first philosophy. The palette stays expressive but controlled, avoiding excess despite its complexity.

Compared to recent 992 collaborations, this version feels more tactile and less polished by design. That decision adds character to the shoe, continuing with Bembury’s long-running series of outdoor textures reimagined for daily life.

The Salehe Bembury x New Balance 992 “Calm Be The Crater” will release February 12th, 2026 via salehebembury.com.

Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Hyper Pink” Expected May 2026

Nike’s Basketball line has been split between the future and the archive, with cutting-edge models like the GT Future moving alongside early-2000s staples returning to rotation. That tension sets the stage for the Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Hyper Pink”, a colorway that signals how the brand is recalibrating a cult favorite rather than reinventing it.

The Zoom Hyperflight, a shoe long tied to Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, is restarting its run with a “Varsity Purple” player-edition colorway. Looking ahead, Nike is also preparing a “Hyper Pink” version for Summer 2026, balanced by Metallic Silver accents and Black framing.

With limited visuals available so far, the release appears to be a straightforward color update rather than a structural redesign.

Nike Hyperflight Hyper Pink Release Date

The Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Hyper Pink” is expected to release May 22, 2026 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $170 USD.

Thom Browne x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Pack Releases March 2026

Thom Browne is stepping into sneakers in a serious way, marking his first-ever footwear collaboration with ASICS for 2026. Rather than picking a niche model, Browne lands on the GEL-Kayano 14 — one of the defining retro runners of the current era — giving the partnership immediate relevance.

The trio of colorways debuted at Browne’s Fall 2026 show in San Francisco, just before Super Bowl weekend, and stayed true to his visual language with black, white, and signature grey options. The grey pair, modeled by Stefon Diggs, leans more premium with perforated suede, while the other two colorways appear to favor mesh builds.

Common details tie the pack together, including thick leather piping across the overlays and subtle hits of Browne’s red, white, and blue stripe motif on the pull tabs, tongues, and insoles. The collaboration also continues the GEL-Kayano 14s recent run of high-fashion reinterpretations, following releases with brands like Comme des Garçons, JJJJound, and A.P.C.

The Thom Browne x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 Pack is expected to release March 2, 2026, though specific launch details have yet to be announced. Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.

AJ Dybantsa Debuts New Nike GT Cut 4 “Spider-Man” PE

Nike continues to build out AJ Dybantsa’s early signature moments with another Spider-Man–inspired player exclusive. After debuting a Spider-Verse take on the GT Cut 1 last week, the BYU star stepped onto the court in a new Spider-Man PE, this time built on the Nike GT Cut 4.

The latest look leans into classic Spider-Man color blocking, blending red across the lateral side before fading into black toward the heel and medial panel, where web detailing spreads through the upper. Blue Swooshes land on both the side panels and outsole, while Dybantsa’s personal logo sits on the heel surrounded by additional web graphics. A red-to-black gradient on the outsole further ties the design to Spider-Man’s suit.

Like most of Dybantsa’s custom pairs, this GT Cut 4 is expected to remain a true player exclusive with no public release planned.

J Balvin Debuts New Air Jordan 4 Collab At Super Bowl LX

J Balvin surfaced with a fresh alternate version of his Air Jordan 4 “Multi-Color” at Super Bowl LX adding another layer to his ongoing Jordan Brand story. While Bad Bunny’s halftime show dominated the weekend, Balvin quietly grabbed attention by wearing the unreleased pair while posting game-day moments with fellow artists.

The shoe keeps the playful, art-forward spirit of his previous look, but swaps in an entirely new color layout. Brown appears at the toe, pink lands on the mudguard, bright red hits the quarter, and a bold orange/yellowish tone covers the lace stays. The midsole leans into a pre-aged finish, and a small mini Swoosh subtly appears near the toe for extra character.

That yellowish shade stands out most, especially as early product leaks suggest it could play a bigger role in the eventual retail version. For now, it remains unclear whether this exact pair is the one that will release.

Balvin has made it clear that his Jordan collaborations would move forward through the lineup in order. With Air Jordan 1 through Air Jordan 3 already checked off, this Air Jordan 4 represents the next chapter.

A J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 is currently expected for Fall 2026, though official details are still pending.
