The Nike Dunk Low “Soft Pearl/Cream” shows up without theatrics. No bold contrast. No forced story. Just a familiar Dunk, tuned for Spring 2026.
Most of the upper sits in Soft Pearl leather, giving the shoe a calm, off-white base. The tone feels intentional, similar to past neutral colorways that stayed relevant long after release week. This is the Dunk operating in its comfort zone.
Cream II details handle the accents. The Swoosh, laces, tongue tag, and heel branding all lean warmer, softening the overall look. That same shade carries through the midsole and outsole, adding a subtle aged feel without pushing into vintage cosplay. It’s simple, but it works.
The Nike Dunk Low “Soft Pearl/Cream” releases Spring 2026 for $130 via Nike.com and selected retailers.
Jordan Brand is looking ahead to Spring 2026 with a fresh new “Easter” lineup that includes the Air Jordan 4 RM with pastel colors.
This updated AJ4 silhouette leans seasonal without losing its performance backbone, a balance the RM line has quietly mastered.
This Easter colorway blends Anthracite mesh with Barely Green and Jade Aura suede overlays. Those softer tones sit cleanly against the black TPU cage, preserving familiar Air Jordan 4 structure. The result feels closer to lifestyle-first Jordan releases than traditional court pairs.
Underfoot, the RM sneaker features layered foam tooling with a visible Air unit wrapped in Iced Carmine. That subtle pink accent returns on the Nike Air heel branding, adding contrast without tipping into novelty. It’s a restrained nod to Easter palettes, not a costume.
The Air Jordan 4 RM “Easter” release is scheduled for Spring 2026. Pairs will be available at Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers for $155.
The Nike Vomero Premium “Chalk” is built around comfort first, with design choices that quietly reinforce that direction.
The upper is deliberately minimal. Soft, off-white mesh blankets nearly every aspect of the upper, starting at the toe and running all the way through the heel. Sail accents on the Swoosh, tongue label and Air Zoom unit are subtle.
Everything changes once you look below. A thick layer of ZoomX wraps around dual Air Zoom units, pushing the midsole to an aggressive 55mm height. Earlier Vomero models favored balance. This one clearly favors cushion.
The Nike Vomero “Premium Chalk” releases Spring 2026 in unisex sizing for $230 through Nike.com and select retailers.
The Nike Astro Grabber “Light Cream/Burgundy Crush” isn’t trying to relive the past shot for shot. The bones are still there, though. This silhouette dates back to the ’70s, built for traction-heavy training when Nike was still figuring itself out.
This update goes quieter. Floral embroidery sits along the side panels, easy to miss unless you’re close. Burgundy ribbon laces feel almost dress-shoe coded, especially against the soft suede toe. It’s a strange mix, but that tension works. The zigzag eyestays sharpen the shape just enough without pushing it too far.
Down below, the lugged rubber sole stays familiar. Same grip. Same track roots. The shift here is lifestyle-first, not performance-driven. More texture. Less noise.

Nike is set to bring back a more refined chapter of Kobe Bryant’s legacy with the Nike Kobe 8 EXT Protro “Year of the Horse” coming in Spring 2026. This Lunar New Year edition makes a comeback for the EXT silhouette, as it unites lifestyle opulence with a modern take on Protro performance.
The Kobe 8 EXT was originally differentiated from the standard iteration by having a premium aesthetic instead of a mesh-centric one for a featherweight feel. This iteration returns to that by way of a textured black upper that is more elegant than it is aggressive. Metallic gold accents are featured throughout Kobe’s sheath logo and on select trim to further encapsulate the Lunar New Year theme while still being muted.
Another critical aspect to take note of is that the EXT line has always been a quieter take on Kobe. This release in particular feels more considered and reserved when placed next to some of the noisier Lunar New Year offerings. The result of this is a sneaker that is perfectly at home as a casual street piece and for light on-court duty.
On the foot, the Protro update does bring a modern take on the cushioning aspect while also staying true to the lower-profile Kobe 8 feel. We don’t have official word on tooling just yet but know that it will be responsive while still having court feel. The deep red outsole brings some contrast to the rest of the shoe while also being a nod to Lunar New Year color symbolism.
Special packaging is expected, including themed insoles and premium accessories that will also coincide with its higher-tier status. Availability is sure to be limited, as has been the case for previous EXT Protro releases.
Nike Kobe 8 Protro Year of the Horse Release Date
The Nike Kobe 8 EXT Protro “Year of the Horse” will drop in Spring 2026 for $290 USD at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com.

UPDATE 9/13/25: The Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 global release is now set for September 19, 2025. Nike shared the official store list below.
Original Story:
Nike has confirmed the release of the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0, set for September 2025. This highly anticipated sneaker continues the Mars Yard series with fresh design updates. However, the collaboration has sparked mixed reactions due to past controversies surrounding Sachs.
The Mars Yard 3.0 features key performance enhancements for improved functionality. A TPU heel clip provides extra support, while a carbon fiber plate enhances stability. Nike React foam ensures superior comfort for all-day wear. The sneaker maintains its signature mesh and suede upper, complemented by a red nylon pull tab. A silkscreen-printed Swoosh adds to the exploration-inspired aesthetic. For durability, black rubber foxing reinforces the toe, and a red lace keeper refines the fit.
Nike’s decision to move forward with Sachs follows a pause in their partnership due to workplace misconduct allegations. In September 2023, Nike resumed collaboration, but the sneaker community remains divided. While some eagerly await the latest installment, others distance themselves from the brand association.
Tom Sachs Nike Mars Yard 3.0 Release Date
The Nike Mars Yard 3.0 will release on September 19, 2025 at select Nike retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $275 USD.

UPDATE 7/7/25: Nike and Tom Sachs have officially resumed their partnership, confirming the release of the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 in September 2025 for $275 USD. This marks the third chapter in the iconic Mars Yard series, which began over a decade ago.
To celebrate the announcement, Nike and Sachs shared a detailed 17-minute video that explores the design evolution, creative inspiration, and cultural impact of the Mars Yard line. The video highlights Sachs’ hands-on design approach and features his famous quote: “Nike Running is for runners, Nike Basketball is for basketball, and NikeCraft is for everyone else.”
Toward the end of the video, at the 16-minute mark, Sachs offers an exciting teaser — the Mars Yard 4.0 is already in the early stages of development, continuing the legacy of this boundary-pushing collaboration.
UPDATE 12/18/25: Official photos of the Nike SB Dunk Low “Baroque Brown/Adobe” have been added below. This ACG-leaning colorway is expected to release in Spring 2026.
Original Story 5/5/25:
Nature called. Nike SB answered—with suede.
The Nike SB Dunk Low “Baroque Brown/Adobe” proves that hiking gear somehow wandered into the skatepark and never left. Covered in a mash-up of Baroque Brown, Midnight Navy, and Adobe, this upcoming SB Dunk Low might just be your new trail-to-tailgate shoe. No, it’s not officially ACG—but you could definitely fool the campsite.
The upper features rich brown suede overlays, deep navy underlays, and a loud Adobe Swoosh that screams, “Yes, I’m outdoorsy—but make it fashion.” Throw in salmon laces that match your camping lantern and you’re ready to hit REI and the local skatepark in one trip.
Inside, you’ll find Zoom Air comfort, because even your feet deserve a cushioned adventure. The midsole comes in a subtle Neutral Olive shade, while the outsole balances it all with chocolate tones. Whether you’re bombing hills or brewing campfire coffee, these Dunks do both—with flair.
While not part of Nike ACG officially, this pair embraces the great outdoors like a crunchy granola bar. They’re gritty, earthy, and surprisingly wearable with cargos or cuffed denim.
Set to release in Spring 2026, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Baroque Brown/Adobe” will hit skate shops and Nike.com for $120 USD.
Don’t wait until these turn into folklore—secure your pair before the forest gets them first.
Nike SB is cooking up something rich, smooth, and undeniably crispy—the Nike SB Dunk Low “Burgundy Crush”. And no, it’s not wine… but it might be just as intoxicating.
This Orange Label banger boasts premium burgundy suede that looks like it belongs on a fancy couch or your next kickflip. The black Swoosh keeps things sharp, while orange tongue branding screams, “Hey, I’m exclusive!”
Skaters will love the white midsole and gum outsole combo—it grips like a dream and hides dirt like a champ. Meanwhile, tonal laces, matching mesh tongues, and that low-key ISO stamp give this SB Dunk that clean, skate-shop-only energy.
Inside, you’ll find the classic Orange Label tag and a friendly reminder: this was made to skate, not sit on a shelf. But hey, we’re not judging if you just want to flex.
The Nike SB Dunk Low “Burgundy Crush” drops in Spring 2026, available only at Orange Label skate shops. That means no big-box retailers, no SNKRS app drama—just core skate culture keeping it real.
Nike’s Valentine’s Day drop marches on with another reworked Air Max 95, one that keeps things minimal and balanced.
A Team Red mesh base sets the tone. From there, Peony Red and Pearl Pink ripple through the classic gradient panels. The marbled finish adds movement, catching light without stealing attention. It’s a cleaner execution than earlier Valentine’s Air Max 95s, which often pushed brighter contrast.
Below, a white leather mudguard stabilizes the look. Slightly tinted Air units warm the midsole, avoiding stark contrast. The white outsole keeps things grounded.
Details stay measured. A small heart-shaped lace charm adds personality without overstatement. Burgundy heel Swooshes and pink liners finish the story.
The Nike Air Max 95 “Valentine’s Day” releases January 14, 2026, via Nike.com and select retailers, priced at $200.
Jordan Brand is opening the year with a kids-only take on a familiar classic. The Air Jordan 3 “We Outside” releasing in January 2026, brings a tougher edge to one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes. Rather than leaning nostalgic, this version feels built for real wear.
The upper arrives in brown nubuck, giving the Air Jordan 3 a grounded, seasonal look. Elephant print stays in place at the toe and heel, keeping the shoe anchored to its 1988 roots. Teal accents line the collar, eyelets, and Jumpman logo, adding contrast without breaking the palette.
Down below, a speckled midsole and visible Air cushioning handle everyday comfort. Rope-style laces and a durable rubber outsole push the design toward function.
The Air Jordan 3 GS “We Outside” releases January 1st, 2026 in grade school, preschool, and toddler sizing through Nike.com and selected Jordan Brand retailers.
Quietly surfacing for LSU’s women’s program, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE continues Kobe Bryant’s long-standing commitment to the women’s game. His support of women’s basketball was never performative. He showed it through relationships, trust, and moments like this one.
Made exclusively for LSU’s women’s program, the pair arrives in Home and Away looks. The Home version keeps things clean with white and royal purple. The Away pair shifts the tone, using golden yellow with rich purple overlays, a subtle nod to Kobe’s Bruce Lee era.
Kobe player exclusives often tell deeper stories than retail pairs. This one fits that pattern. It celebrates athletes shaping the game now, not collectors later.
As expected, the Nike Kobe 5 Protro LSU PE remains a true player exclusive, with no release planned and no shortcuts to ownership.
The Air Jordan 1 MM Low V3 “Year of the Horse” continues Jordan Brand’s growing Western-inspired design run with confidence.
This pair arrives dressed in saddle-like brown leather, paired with white faux horse hair across the panels and heel.
The detailing does most of the storytelling. Ornate graphics land on the tongue and Swoosh, while red laces and branding sharpen the look.
As part of the Method of Make line, this version shifts away from pure heritage. Cutouts along the toe, mudguard, and heel modernize the 1985 low. It feels experimental, yet still recognizably Jordan.
Compared to traditional Air Jordan 1 Lows, this silhouette prioritizes texture and structure over simplicity. That design risk gives it stronger shelf presence than standard seasonal colorways.
The Air Jordan 1 MM Low V3 “Year of the Horse” is scheduled for Spring 2026. The retail price is $155 in men’s sizing via Nike.com and select retailers.
UPDATE 12/18/25: The Nike Air Max 1000 “Red” is officially up for grabs, with a raffle now live exclusively through Zellerfeld. The pair is priced at $180, and entries will remain open until December 22nd.
Original Story 12/16/25:
The Nike Air Max 1000 “Red/Atomic Green” continues Nike’s sharp pivot toward fully 3D-printed footwear. Developed with Zellerfeld, this release brings back the model’s original red finish, now paired with a vivid Atomic Green Air unit that immediately pulls focus.
Introduced at ComplexCon, the Air Max 1000 quietly redefined the potential of an Air Max. Without panels, stitching, or overlays, the shoe is constructed with a single, seamless printed shell. The shoe still respects Air Max tradition, but the construction feels more like a prototype than a retro runner.
That tension between past and future is what defines this pair. The sculpted red upper nods to classic Air Max energy, while the exposed green airbag adds a technical, almost industrial edge. It feels intentional, not decorative, and clearly designed to showcase the process.
Nike’s first fully printed Air Max line has grown quickly since debut. Multiple AM1000 releases and October’s Air Max 95000 suggest this isn’t a side project. It’s a long-term direction.
The Nike Air Max 1000 “Red/Atomic Green” will be releasing exclusively through a Zellerfeld raffle; entries for that open December 18th, with winners notified on December 22nd. Retail will be $180.
New images have surfaced offering a closer look at both unreleased Air Jordan 3 samples worn by Nigel Sylvester and Trae Young. Shared by Jordan Brand color designer Arielle Pickett, the pairs were tagged with #thisoneaintforeveryone, signaling clear Friends & Family intent.
Nigel Sylvester’s unreleased Air Jordan 3 sits firmly in ultra-rare territory. Reportedly limited to just 50 pairs, the shoe avoids formal collaboration branding. Instead, it leans into expressive design with a textured canvas upper covered in shifting, graffiti-style patterns. Black nubuck frames the panels cleanly, while a teal Jumpman adds controlled contrast.
Trae Young’s unreleased Air Jordan 3 takes a different historical direction. Design nods to the 1989 “Michael Jordan’s Playground” poster, another touchstone of Jordan Brand lore. Graffiti-inspired art is featured on the upper, mimicking the original mural wall. Cream and muted pink tones down the presentation, maintaining some visual equilibrium.
Together, these samples reflect a broader pattern within Jordan Brand’s inner circle. Rather than teasing future releases, these Air Jordan 3s exist purely as creative expressions. There is no rollout strategy, no calendar placement, and no retail expectation.
That separation feels intentional. These Friends & Family (F&F) Air Jordan 3 samples were built for you to wear, photograph, and talk about—and never to be sold. At least for now, they will only occupy the F&F lane, with only momentary glimpses here and there.
Both the Air Jordan 3s worn by Nigel Sylvester and Trae Young will not be releasing to the public.
Jordan Brand has unveiled one of its most exclusive Air Jordan projects with the EKIN x Air Jordan 1 Low “Never Not Working”. Created solely for Nike’s internal EKIN program, the pair never enters retail circulation and remains locked behind the brand’s inner circle.
The project celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 while spotlighting the people who helped build its legacy off the court. EKINs have represented Nike at the grassroots level since 1981, carrying product stories city to city. This release becomes the first EKIN-exclusive Air Jordan and the sixth EKIN shoe overall.
Visually, the sneaker balances restraint with meaning. A black, sail, and EKIN Orange palette reflects long travel days that begin before sunrise and end well after dark. Distressed leather Swooshes and a sail midsole add a worn-in feel that mirrors years of constant movement rather than factory freshness.
Details drive the story forward. “Never Not Working” appears on the tongue in handwritten script inspired by Michael Jordan’s signature. Each pair is individually numbered out of just 200, instantly placing it among the rarest Air Jordan 1 Lows produced. Mismatched heel embroidery features the Wings logo on one shoe and the EKIN mark on the other.
Additional nods are spotted on the lace aglets, featuring “1981” and “1984,” in reference to EKIN’s birth year and the Air Jordan 1s initial release. Interlining of dawn-and-dusk skyline graphics also subtly homages the signature Jumpman photograph, further emphasizing the theme of perpetual motion.
The EKIN x Air Jordan 1 Low “Never Not Working” will never be available to the public. It’s a private homage that celebrates the decades of unseen work that helped build Jordan Brand from the ground up.
The Jordan Tatum 4 “Game Royal/University Blue” continues Jordan Brand’s recent run of layered, story-driven colorways tied to signature athletes. Blue-heavy palettes have long defined performance Jordans, dating back to classic PE moments and UNC-inspired looks tied to the brand’s history.
Here, the upper blends multiple textures to keep things visually active. Royal blue patent leather lands on the toe, while dark blue suede takes over the vamp. Meanwhile, UNC-style light blue appears on the side panel in a wavy textile, then fades into wide blue mesh through the heel. The lightest blue finishes the heel tab in glossy patent, adding contrast without overdoing it.
White branding on the JT tongue and side panel Jumpman helps balance the saturation. Black-and-blue hiking laces add a subtle edge, reinforcing the on-court focus.
The Jordan Tatum 4 “Game Royal/University Blue” releases Spring 2026 for $130 via Nike.com and retailers.
