Saucony’s New ProGrid Paramount Now Available

Saucony expands its modern catalog with the Saucony ProGrid Paramount, a new silhouette focused on construction-first design. The model arrives as brands continue reworking late-2000s performance language for today’s lifestyle market.

The Paramount features a padded, lined collar, a largely uninterrupted mesh upper, and a concentric heel structure. Those elements give the Saucony ProGrid Paramount a technical edge that separates it from earlier ProGrid-era releases. Compared to classic Saucony runners, the build feels more sculpted and forward-looking.

However, the color palette keeps things familiar. Current options include black mesh, a women’s colorway with gold accents and pink trim, and a Silver and Navy finish. While the design is progressive, the color blocking maintains everyday wear appeal.

Release Date & Where To Buy

Priced at $175, the Saucony ProGrid Paramount sits firmly in the brand’s premium tier. Two colorways are available now, with the Navy pair still awaiting release. Grab pairs here via Saucony.com.

Nike Air Force 1 Low “White/Malachite” Now Available

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “White/Malachite” continues the model’s long run of refined color blocking rooted in basketball heritage. Built on a crisp white base, this edition leans into contrast rather than excess.

Malachite green lands on the overlays, lining, and outsole, adding depth without overwhelming the silhouette. Meanwhile, a thin yellow trace along the Swoosh introduces a quiet detail that sharpens the profile. As a result, the design feels intentional and seasonless.

This Nike Air Force 1 Low “White/Malachite” is available now for $115 via Nike.com and select stockists.

Devin Booker Debuts Nike Book 2 “Black Tie” PE

Devin Booker made the official debut of the next evolution of his signature line with the introduction of the Nike Book 2 “Black Tie” PE. The look was made in tandem with the retail drop of the Book 2, providing a more subdued, understated statement on-court.

This Player Exclusive takes a formal approach. A fully black upper anchors the design, built with layered mesh and a matching mudguard that subtly reveals the lace structure. Thin white striping breaks through the darkness, delivering contrast that feels intentional rather than decorative.

Those white accents extend to the midsole and outsole, tightening the shoe’s visual balance. The only color interruption lands on the tongue, where the Book logo appears in Phoenix-inspired orange. It’s a small detail, yet it grounds the look in Booker’s identity.

So far, Book 2 Player Exclusives have leaned quieter than the Book 1 run. Interestingly, early retail colorways show more personality than the PEs. That contrast suggests a slow-burn strategy as the season unfolds.

The Nike Book 2 “Black Tie” PE is not expected to release publicly. Still, its debut signals momentum, with the Book 2 era now underway and additional colorways expected throughout the year.

The Jordan Pointe Ballet Shoe Revealed in Blue

Jordan Brand’s newest ballet shoe, the Jordan Pointe, has been revealed marking a new women’s direction for the brand. The silhouette reframes Michael Jordan’s legacy through ballet cues, rather than basketball lineage, signaling a broader design shift.

Inspired by traditional pointe footwear, the model blends training utility with expressive styling. Ribbon laces wrap the upper alongside a Velcro lockdown strap, offering structure without sacrificing visual flexibility. Notably, the lacing system allows multiple styling approaches, reinforcing fashion-first intent.

The chunky sole places the Jordan Pointe within current women’s footwear trends, similar to recent ballet-core hybrids across fashion brands.

The Jordan Pointe “Royal Blue” releases Spring 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers.

Anthony Edwards Elevates The adidas Superstar With “Navy Croc” Finish

The Anthony Edwards x adidas Superstar “Navy Croc” reflects adidas’ continued move toward premium materials, blending performance roots with a more elevated, lifestyle-ready finish.

The aesthetic takes an upscale route without missing its performance mark. Croc-embossed leather is the story-teller, as a smoothed rubber toe cap nods to Edwards’ logo. Textured Three Stripes, as well as the heel tab, reveal a slight “X” shape.

Metallic silver accents appear on the Trefoil branding and Anthony Edwards dubrae, creating clean contrast against the navy base. Inside, a velour-like lining delivers a refined feel that separates this pair from standard team colorways.

The Anthony Edwards x adidas Superstar “Navy Croc” is priced at $170. A wider release appears likely soon, with pairs expected through adidas channels and pairs currently available via endclothing.com.

Duke Reveals Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Kay Yow” PE

Duke Blue Devils women’s basketball has introduced another Player Exclusive rooted in meaning, not hype. The program unveiled a special Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Kay Yow” PE, created in support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and its enduring mission.

The split pink upper telegraphs intent from the start. Varied pinks play across the Kobe 6’s modular construction, offering contrast without overwhelming the silhouette. Black accents cut the look, while Duke’s signature “D” logo amplifies school pride on the national stage.

Beyond the color, the execution also feels purposeful. The Kobe 6 Protro is one of Nike Basketball’s most trusted performance models, particularly in women’s programs. The silhouette choice pays homage to today’s athletes, while carrying on a legacy of resilience, discipline and competitive greatness.

Duke’s history with meaningful Player Exclusives continues here. Rather than serving as display pieces, these designs function as active symbols worn during competition. That approach keeps Kay Yow’s impact visible, season after season.

The Nike Kobe 6 Protro “Kay Yow” PE was obviously never meant for the public, as it’s only available to Duke players. But its impact endures, standing as a lesson on how shoes can pay tribute to the past and stay in the now.

Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey” Now Available

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey” has finally landed, and it’s the latest in Nike’s recent string of Mamba-inspired lifestyle models. Performance nostalgia hasn’t been as much of a driver on this series as everyday relevancy to his legacy.

Nike has been leaning on the Air Force 1 as a means to pay tribute to Kobe in an accessible manner. This pair keeps things low-key, dressing the silhouette in a cohesive grey tone. The fit is purposefully utilitarian with snakeskin-textured panels that tie into Kobe’s Black Mamba motif without getting too gimmicky.

Signature details anchor the execution. Kobe-branded lace dubraes sit up front, while the heel stamps rotate between “8” and “24.” Those touches reinforce the story subtly, letting material and symbolism do the work.

The “Cool Grey” approach mirrors recent trends across Kobe lifestyle footwear. Clean tones dominate, prioritizing versatility over spectacle. That strategy has helped the Air Force 1 evolve into a reliable platform for basketball legacy storytelling beyond the court.

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Cool Grey” is available now for $120 through retailers like Sneaker Room and Undefeated. Wider availability through Nike is expected soon.

Action Bronson x New Balance 1890 “Baklava” Releases Spring 2026

UPDATE 1/2/26: Action Bronson gives us a better look at his upcoming New Balance 1890. Both pairs are expected to release soon. Stay tuned for launch details to be announced.

UPDATE 11/27/25: Action Bronson just gave a first look at his next New Balance project, the New Balance 1890. The silhouette is set to make a major return in 2026, with its rollout kicking off through his Baklava collab.

Original Story 11/03/25:
Action Bronson isn’t slowing down. After shaking up the sneaker scene with his colorful New Balance 990v6 “Baklava” series, the Queens rapper and chef is already prepping his next big collab — the Action Bronson x New Balance 1890, releasing in Spring 2026.

The new silhouette, called the 1890, has a new design that mixes classic runner DNA with a dose of daring technical panache. It has contoured overlays and ventilated underlays, which sit atop a full-length ABZORB midsole with boxy cushioning pods for optimal comfort. The palette is where it really pops, though. Off-white and grey with splashes of neon green, royal blue “N” logos and orange accents up top.

Rugged, boot-style laces and “Baklava New Balance” branding on the tongue tie back to Bronson’s adventurous design language. The result feels unapologetically him — part performance, part art piece. For New Balance, it’s another confident step into experimental design territory while keeping craftsmanship at the forefront.

The Action Bronson x New Balance 1890 “Baklava” launches Spring 2026 via Action Bronson’s website, select New Balance retailers, and NewBalance.com.

James Harden Debuts BSTN x adidas Harden Vol. 10

James Harden stepped onto the floor in a new chapter of his signature line, debuting the BSTN x adidas Harden Vol. 10 during a New Year’s Day matchup against the Utah Jazz. The appearance adds another early data point as adidas Basketball prepares the model’s first full season.

The Harden Vol. 10 continues the streamlined direction adidas has leaned into recently. This BSTN collaboration arrives dressed almost entirely in white, broken up by soft grey hits along the heel and outsole. The only visible co-branding appears on the heel pull tab, where BSTN’s logo sits quietly.

Rather than pushing a loud narrative, the design favors restraint. That choice feels intentional, especially for a performance model meant to rotate easily with team gear. The result is a shoe that prioritizes adaptability over statement-making.

Compared to past Harden collaborations, this pair keeps its footprint minimal. It reflects a broader shift within adidas Basketball toward wearable performance-first colorways, even when partnerships are involved.

The BSTN x adidas Harden Vol. 10 is expected to release January 15, 2026, exclusively through BSTN in-store and online.

Nike Air Force 1 Luggage Releases January 2026

UPDATE 1/2/26: Nike is turning its Air Force 1 DNA into travel-ready luggage, with the new collection scheduled to land on January 31st. The drop includes a 26-inch hardshell suitcase priced at $310 (BUY HERE), while the larger 29-inch version will retail for $360 (BUY HERE), giving travelers two size options that carry the iconic design beyond sneakers.

Original Story 10/1/25:
Travel bags get a touch of Bruce Kilgore with Nike Air Force 1 Suitcases.

The airplane that the AF1 sneaker takes its name from is none other than the U.S. President’s Air Force One. As such, the sneaker’s legacy has found a second lease of life on wheels. Check the shoe’s radial outsole pattern on the undersurface of the bag. On the other side, there’s a solid-color Swoosh branded into the hardshell’s face.

The inside of the luggage is just as packed. In addition to two primary sections, there are smaller zipper pockets. Nylon liner fabric offers a bit of personality, too. Just don’t trip over “Thank you for flying Nike Air” printed on the inside of the lid. It’s a wink to the cushioning unit in the sneaker that first launched back in 1982. The Air Max came later and made visible the tech. But the Air Force 1 gave it staying power.

A sticker sheet includes the same radial pattern as the sole. It also features “Fly Nike!” branding. Sizes and colors have been confirmed for 22-inch and 29-inch bags, with a third size anticipated, as well.

The Nike Hardshell Suitcase will release January 1, 2026 through Nike.com and select retailers.

Duke Adds Nike A’One To Basketball PE Lineup

UPDATE 1/2/25: Duke has added the Nike A’One in a black and blue colorway to their current Nike Basketball PE lineup.

Original Story 12/30/25:
Duke Blue Devils continue to separate themselves in the Nike PE conversation, extending a legacy few programs can match. As one of Nike’s longest-standing college partners, Duke consistently treats the court like a showcase.

After unveiling home and away versions of the Kobe 5 Protro earlier this season, Duke’s rotation has grown significantly. Five additional Nike basketball silhouettes have now entered play, spanning signature lines from LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Ja Morant, Sabrina Ionescu, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Visually, the KD 18 and Ja 3 stand out most. Both lean heavily into Duke’s unmistakable royal blue, grounded by black uppers that keep the look sharp and competition-ready. Elsewhere, restraint defines the collection. Black and grey palettes dominate, while subtle blue branding and restrained gold accents, most notably on the LeBron PE, elevate the finish.

These Duke Nike Basketball PEs will remain exclusive to game action throughout the season, including appearances by NIL standout Cameron Boozer. Once again, Duke’s Nike Basketball PE lineup reinforces why no college program commands this lane.

Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Realtree Camo” Sample Surfaces

A fresh Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Realtree Camo” Sample has been spotted, showcasing Jordan Brand’s continued appetite for camouflage-driven design. This timing is no coincidence, as outdoor-inspired patterns continue to trickle into streetwear and lifestyle sneakers.

The unreleased pair pairs ripstop Realtree camo overlays on a white leather base. Black leather Swooshes provide sharp contrast while a subdued gum outsole keeps things grounded. It’s a restrained execution that lets the materials speak for themselves.

Inside, a plush, chenille-style lining points toward a cooler-season mindset. That detail sets this pair apart from more summer-driven Low OGs and aligns with Jordan Brand’s recent focus on texture over loud color.

While the Air Jordan 1 Low OG isn’t the centerpiece of the release calendar anymore, it still serves as a quiet testing lane. Sample-only pairs like this suggest the brand is experimenting behind the scenes before locking in production.

For now, the Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Realtree Camo” remains just that—a sample. There’s no release date attached, but its emergence hints at where Jordan Brand could take the Low OG as camo trends build toward 2026.

adidas adiZero Rose 1 “Bulls” Returns January 2026 For D Rose Day

adidas is honoring one of Chicago’s most important basketball figures by going back to the beginning. For D Rose Day, the brand is reviving the adidas adiZero Rose 1, the first signature shoe worn by Derrick Rose during his early rise.

Rose has always been one with the city, more than highlight reels and accolades. His humility, hometown pride and loyalty was part of what made his time with the Chicago Bulls so impactful. Now that legacy is made official on January 4th, with the retirement of his No. 1 jersey at the United Center.

This first adiZero Rose 1 is back in the OG black and red “Bulls” colorway, keeping the same sleek low-cut silhouette that reset expectations for performance footwear back in the day. It keeps the lightweight construction and aggressive shapes, too, with everything mirroring the speed-first era that it was built in and helped to shape Rose’s prime in.

Ahead of the full release, adidas will have a D Rose Day activation at an adidas x Foot Locker pop-up in Chicago. There fans will have access to early reservation, photo ops and a chance to win suite tickets to the jersey retirement ceremony.

The adidas adiZero Rose 1 “Bulls” will launch globally on January 17, 2026 for $130 at Foot Locker and adidas partners.

Light Orewood Brown found a home in the quarter panels, while Linen details the eyelets tastefully. White is responsible for the rest of the upper, including the tongue and lining.

This Nike Air Max 90 is set to release Spring 2026 retailing $135. Hunt for pairs on Nike.com and some retail partners.

Nike Air Max Plus “USA” Proves Patriotic Colorways Can Still Feel Refined

The Nike Air Max Plus “USA” is joining the Swoosh’s Spring 2026 release calendars. The patriotic colorway continues Nike’s history of red, white, and blue storytelling across performance runners. This Air Max Plus colorway feels intentional rather than loud, balancing heritage with restraint.

A Pure Platinum mesh upper sets a neutral base, while white covers the mudguard and midsole cleanly. University Red energizes the TPU cages and visible Air units, adding structure without overwhelming the design. Midnight Navy lands on the Swooshes and tongue branding, offering contrast and depth.

Both tones meet at the midfoot plate, creating visual cohesion. Classic yellow TN accents return, reinforcing lineage tied to earlier Air Max Plus releases.

The Nike Air Max Plus “USA” releases Spring 2026 for $190 via Nike.com and other retailers.
