Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1000 Revealed in Second Colorway

Salehe Bembury has already proven that 2025 is off to another memorable start with the release of the Salehe Bembury x New Balance 1000. Bembury, who has worked with Crocs, PUMA, and of course his own footwear brand, continues to design cutting-edge releases through his work with New Balance.

The new colorway of the New Balance 1000 consists of a gradient that shifts from a fluorescent pink at the heel, to a steel blue on the forefoot. Bits of fiery orange are scattered on the midsole and lace loops. Textured suede overlays at the toe add a juxtaposition of texture to the multi-layered upper. It’s a confident look that stays grounded. It’s also a recipe that has solidified Bembury’s status as one of the most important sneaker designers of his generation.

The sneaker drops not long after the “Fog Be The Cloud” version, which we already know will be available on September 5th. The pair dropped at the same time, so there is still the possibility that they could be released as a pack. For now, the mystery surrounding how it will drop has only heightened the excitement.

This is another marquee release in Bembury’s recent run of New Balance collabs, which include the “Heat Be Hot” 1906R. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the release date.

Nike Dunk Low GTX “Triple Black” Expands All-Weather Lineup

Nike is continuing the Dunk Low GTX all-weather line with the upcoming Nike Dunk Low GTX “Triple Black”. Waterproof leather panels and a Gore-Tex lined interior help the low keep up with the rain and more. Even the perforations at the toebox are sealed. Small details of Gore-Tex branding appear on the lateral of the shoe as well as on the Swoosh tag. The combination of features creates a sneaker you can rely on in weather or not, with a subdued look to fit stealthy rotations.

Nike has not forgotten that it has dabbled with Gore-Tex and the Dunk series before, and for a good reason. Over time, the line became a go-to series for sneakerheads that wanted something that could handle more wear and tear while not sacrificing design. The “Triple Black” colorway is just the newest addition to the collection, with the “Ceramic” colorway previously revealed as well as the “Light Crimson” pair that will arrive in 2026.

Its release also comes as the Dunk series nears the end of its 40th-anniversary celebrations, with 2025 seeing a good balance of retros and collabs. While the rotation is versatile enough on its own, the all-black finish is just what the fans ordered for this anniversary year. It’s the detail sneakerheads will recognize immediately.

The Nike Dunk Low GTX “Triple Black” will release early 2026 at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $150 USD.

Its mesh upper comes dressed in a “Luminous Green” that practically glows in the dark (but don’t quote us on that). Bold black overlays give the shoe some bite, while that molded heel clip says, “I came to train, but I might hit brunch after.”

And yes, there’s reflective 3M on the heel. So if you get caught in headlights while flexing these in the wild, you’ll be seen. Literally.

But wait, there’s more! Oversized Jumpman logos on the heel round out the chaos in true Jordan Brand fashion. It’s loud. It’s proud. It’s probably what your gym crush dreams about.

Nike Dunk Low GS Comes in Crazy Colors and Patterns

Nike continues to update the Dunk Low with a release inspired by nature with storytelling. The tongue and heel logos mimic branches with new leaves growing off the ends for a more adventurous feel. A lining label on the tongue inside of the shoe echoes the theme with the phrase, “take the long way home.”

The construction points to pebbled “Seaweed” leather overlays with white stitching and white midsole. “Cargo Khaki” coloring is used on the toe box and tongue. The collar and side panels use a patterned “Green Abyss” canvas.

A contrasting “Ochre” leather Swoosh accents the base. Patterned red laces help create a bolder contrast. A gum sole in light brown creates a rugged element on the bottom.

The Nike Dunk Low GS “Seaweed/Cargo Khaki” will launch August 21, 2025 retailing for $100. You’ll find it on Nike.com and select retailers.

The overall feel of this Dunk is different from your typical pair. It has more of an outdoorsy aesthetic that younger sneakerheads should appreciate. It’s a wild mix of darker and neutral colors mixed with some brighter elements.

This Nike Infinity Tour 2 Is Designed By Brooks Koepka’s Son

Brooks Koepka debuts the Nike Infinity Tour 2 “Photon Dust/Blue Void” Player Edition with assistance from his son, Crew.

Crew’s interest in outer space inspired Koepka to create a shoe with a clean white upper and metallic red and blue astronaut details. The asymmetry is punctuated by blue spikes covering the left sole and red bolding on the right. Custom “B” and “R” tongue logos switch color ways, while red and blue lace eyelets add additional detail. The graphic is finished with a navy Swoosh on the heel and reflective striping.

Storytelling continues with a removable red “Flight Crew” tag which is another direct link to Koepka’s son, Crew. Galaxy-themed insoles complete the playful design nods as the Tour 2 features tour-level performance features for comfort and stability.

The Nike Infinity Tour 2 “Photon Dust/Blue Void” will launch Fall 2025 for $200 at Nike.com and select retail partners.

Nike Air Force 1 Low in “Black” Joins The “Corduroy” Pack

This AF1 will be part of Nike’s Fall 2025 “Corduroy” Pack, which reimagines the timeless silhouette in new texture.

It features the upper dressed in black corduroy. The material is characterized by its ridged pattern, which is different from a leather build. It features Nike’s textured Swoosh and tonal stitching, which keep the footwear looking sleek and refined. A metallic lace dubrae, and embroidered heel branding is placed to match.

Down below, a white midsole and outsole offer a crisp contrast. The outsole also provides the expected durability and grip AF1 fans are used to. The entire outsole features perforations at the toe box, while the collar is padded for comfort.

The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black Corduroy” will release in Fall 2025, alongside the rest of the pack, via Nike.com for $125.

The Air Force 1 has worn many different skins since its 1982 launch, but this one is particularly modern.

New Balance Allerdale “Hazelnut” Gets Premium Leather Makeover

The New Balance Allerdale “Hazelnut” is back for Fall 2025, this time rendered in a sumptuous tumbled leather that accents its luxe vibe. The design embraces a more earth-toned aesthetic similar to the original but also dials back with some hiking inspired details for an outdoorsy attitude.

A translucent lugged outsole offers traction on the trail, while the D-ring eyelets and bespoke lacing method also lend the sneaker a utilitarian spirit. These minute elements take the “Hazelnut” beyond classic lifestyle footwear for a balanced silhouette with both street and subtle hiking design cues.

All in all, the drop furthers New Balance’s expansion into understated and sophisticated sneakers that look to offer hardy performance on the streets as well. This is a shoe that I like for its versatility; I can see it working with either jeans or technical outerwear and that makes it unique.

The New Balance Allerdale “Hazelnut” drops September 4, 2025 for $250 through NewBalance.com and key retail partners.

New Balance 1000 Clad in Silver, Black, and Concord

Late 1990s runner is on full display with the New Balance 1000 “Silver/Black/Concord.” Set to release Fall 2025, this 1000 model has a very Y2K runner vibe with chunky overlays, airy mesh, and futuristic details.

The upper uses a mix of black mesh and metallic silver overlays, with reflective details. The brand’s iconic “N” logo is featured on both sides of the shoe, while the “1000” logo is featured on the heel tab near the forefoot. The “1000” is also featured on the heel tab near the forefoot. Concord purple accents on the midsole add a pop of color and contrast to an otherwise metallic shoe.

The ABZORB cushioning tech also harkens back to New Balance’s performance line in the 1990s. The black outsole is more sculpted and detailed to offer traction.

The New Balance 1000 “Silver/Black/Concord” is releasing Fall 2025 on NewBalance.com and select retailers for $150 USD.

The 1000’s retro design also pulls from current nostalgia trends of repping the most slept-on runners from the past.

Air Jordan 40 Honoring Jordan Brand’s Original Roots

The Air Jordan 40 gets a classic “Chicago” makeover, and it leans heavy into Jordan Brand’s most iconic DNA. White leather sets the stage, broken up by black details and those familiar Varsity Red accents. The Sail midsole adds a slightly aged feel, the kind that reminds you of worn-in classics from the past.

Here’s the real headline: for the first time ever, a flagship Air Jordan gets stamped with the Nike Swoosh. That’s paired with the Wings logo, giving the shoe a mix of old-school heritage and something brand new.

Underfoot, Jordan Brand introduces ZoomX cushioning — light, responsive, and built for performance. The outsole combines cream and red zones with a sharp black heel piece. It’s technical, but it also looks futuristic in a way that feels different from previous Jordan models.

The Air Jordan 40 “Chicago” will release on November 1, 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $205 USD.

Nike Kobe 11 Elite Protro “Mamba Out” Returns Summer 2026 To Celebrate Mamba Day

The Nike Kobe 11 Elite Protro “Mamba Out” will return in Summer 2026, a special Mamba Day release marking its 10th anniversary.

Back on April 13, 2016, Kobe Bryant played his final NBA game. That night sparked the first “Mamba Day,” and Nike dropped the Kobe 11 through NikeiD (now Nike By You). Fans were able to tweak colors and add their own touches, making it one of the most personal Kobe releases ever. Many still see it as the perfect send-off sneaker.

The 2026 version sticks with the original design. Black Flyknit covers the upper while metallic gold accents stand out against the dark base. Hidden across the shoe are nods to Bryant’s journey — his 81-point game, 18 All-Star nods, five championships, and 20 years in the league. A crisp white hit on the heel and a translucent icy sole round things out.

This was the pair that closed an era, and bringing it back only makes sense. It’s a reminder of one of basketball’s greatest goodbyes — and one of the cleanest Kobe models ever made.

Nike Kobe 11 Mamba Day 2026 Release Date

The Nike Kobe 11 Elite Protro “Mamba Out” will release in Summer 2026 through select retailers and Nike.com. Expect high demand as fans revisit one of Kobe’s most historic drops.

Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo” Returns September 2025

UPDATE 8/21/25: The 2025 Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo” releases on August 23rd in Japan through SNKRS Japan. It will launch in the U.S. on September 27th. The reissue commemorates the 2011 “JORDAN TOKYO 23” event in Yoyogi Park and features the nostalgic Kanji embroidery on the heel.

Original Story 5/23/25:
Heads up, sneaker lovers—the Air Jordan 5 Tokyo 23 is finally making a retro return this Fall 2025. First dropped in 2011 to honor Jordan Tokyo 23 in Japan, this bold sneaker is back with all the flair fans remember and love.

This Air Jordan 5 features a standout yellow suede upper that’s impossible to ignore. Wolf Grey touches hit the tongue, side netting, and eyelets, adding balance to the vivid design. Black accents on the laces, heel, and shark teeth midsole bring the contrast. The embroidered Kanji logo on the side gives it a cultural boost sneakerheads go wild for.

Rumors suggest two versions of the Air Jordan 5 Tokyo 2025 may release—one featuring the classic Jumpman logo, and another with Nike Air branding, similar to the Undefeated Air Jordan 4 drop strategy. Whether that’s true or just sneaker myth, we know one thing: these Jordans are getting special packaging and will fly off shelves faster than a Tokyo bullet train.

Returning in OG form, the Jordan 5 Tokyo 2025 joins a growing lineup of heritage retros. Related models like the Air Jordan 5 Raging Bull and Air Jordan 5 Green Bean have also seen successful returns. The demand for retro Jordans just keeps growing.

Tokyo Jordan 5 2025 Release Date

Expected to be limited to just 20,000 pairs, the Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo” releases September 2025 at select Jordan Brand retailers and Nike.com. Stay tuned for more updates.

Kith Classics and adidas Running have collaborated on a six-pack collection to celebrate more than 60 years of performance history. The Heritage Running collection looks back at major milestones in adidas’ footwear timeline, re-releasing iconic models from across the decades.

The collection begins in 1972 with the introduction of the ultra-lightweight SL 72 OG, a catalyst in distance running.

Next up is 2013 Energy Boost, before culminating in adidas’ current race-day offering, the Adizero Boston 13. This will be the first time adidas has co-branded this model.

Design-wise, each shoe offers heritage cues with updated elements such as mesh uppers, leather overlays, and metallic details, all taken from archival research. Some pairs are given multi-color accents while Kith branding adorns the tongue, heel, and sockliner of each. The collection also comes in custom packaging and features a runner’s bib, marking the year each model originally debuted.

The collection will drop through the Kith App on August 20–21. A limited amount of pairs will release August 22nd in Kith stores and online at Kith.com global regional sites.
