Nike held another SNKRS Showcase livestream today, this time highlighting products from their Basketball line, both new and retro. Among the upcoming styles was a re-release of the “Pearl” Foamposite Pro, coming this Fall.
Nike’s Foamposite line has seen a lot of attention from the brand over the last year. The shoe’s iconic “Galaxy” edition was the focus of this year’s All-Star Weekend festivities, along with the introduction of the GT Future, a new model in the expansive Foam family. Nike still has plenty of re-releases slated for the rest of the year, and this week’s SNKRS Showcase gave us an early look at a fan-favorite color scheme, making its first appearance in ten years.
The “Pearl” edition of the Foamposite Pro was last seen in 2015, but previously saw retro releases in 2002, 2009, and 2010. The simple black and white look with red accents was among the shoe’s original color schemes in 1997, and is known for combining the Foam’s striking design with a simple, neutral color palette. Now, Nike is readying the iconic look for another re-release, slated to arrive this Fall. The new pair recreates the original to a T, with a crisp white upper, glossy black Swooshes, and just a hint of red.
NIKE FOAMPOSITE PRO “PEARL” RELEASE INFORMATION
Nike has not announced a set date for their retro release of the Foamposite Pro “Pearl” yet, but the pair is slated to release during the Fall 2025 season, possibly on November 28th. Featuring the iconic white, black, and red color scheme that has seen a number of re-release over the years, pairs will be available from both Nike and select retailers for $240.

Salehe Bembury’s tenure with New Balance continues later this year. Over the weekend, while answering questions on Instagram, the footwear designer teased his next release with the Boston brand, two eclectic styles of the 1000 runner.
Salehe Bembury has been incredibly busy over the last few years. The hired gun footwear designer has lent his talents to Crocs, New Balance, Puma, and Vans since he burst onto the scene back in 2020. New Balance has been a regular partner of his, giving him the freedom to play with some of their classic silhouettes, as well as helping to introduce some of their new and retro styles along the way.
This weekend, Bembury shared an early look at his next release in collaboration with the Boston brand, this time featuring the 1000, one of the few recent retros he hasn’t used as a canvas yet. Showing us just the heels of two colorways, both pairs feature a ton of different colors and materials throughout, and appear to feature either extra laces or a colorful braided charm as a nice bonus. On the left, one pair comes in a dark golden shade of suede with iridescent purple overlays and red accents, and on the right, a dark brown suede base with vibrant blue overlays and a dark green sole.
SALEHE BEMBURY X NEW BALANCE 1000 PACK RELEASE INFORMATION
The next project from Salehe Bembury and New Balance has not been announced yet, but is currently expected to release in September 2025.

New releases from Jordan Brand for 2025 continue to surface as the year draws to a close. This week, we have some early information regarding a women’s Air Jordan 5 release for Summer, dressed in a “Luminous Green” color scheme.
Every Winter, we are inundated with news regarding fresh releases from sneaker brands as they publish their internal calendars containing color codes for new styles coming the following year. Jordan Brand has a huge slate of sneakers scheduled to arrive in 2025, though the dates are likely just placeholders for the time being.
This week, a new Air Jordan 5 has been added to their Summer release schedule, though this pair will be a women’s sizing-exclusive release. The standout color of this pair is the “Luminous Green” shade, a neon green hue that Nike first started using earlier this year. Currently only a mockup of the shoe from SneakerFiles exists, but shows off a simple mixed color scheme with a sail white upper, black midsole, and bright green accents.

Montreal skate brand Dime is hosting their annual Glory Challenge with Vans this weekend. To celebrate the occasion, the two have created the new Era Stub skate shoe, which releases alongside the event.
Dime has has impressed us over the last few years with a wide range of collaborations, bringing brands like Asics into their world of skateboarding. They’ve teamed up with adidas, New Balance, Reebok, and Vans as well, all in the last five years. This week, the shop is hosting their annual Glory Challenge, taking over their city’s IGA Stadium for the occasion. The event is described as: “50 handpicked skateboarders will unite in Montreal to confront a series of physically and psychologically demanding challenges.”
Alongside the event, Dime has teamed up with Vans for a new collaborative project, reworking the classic Era with some new details and skate-ready features. Dubbed the Era Stub, the most noticeable change is the addition of extra eyelets down the front of the shoe, shortening the toe box for a more classic sneaker build. Two colorways have been made for this project, a crisp white pair in canvas and suede, and Timberland-inspired look in light brown leather. This second look features the same laces as your typical Timbs boots, and metal rivet eyelets to complete the look.

Back in 2023, Nike and Deion Sanders signed a new deal, opening the floodgates for any retro release of his signature sneakers. In 2025, the Air Diamond Turf is making a comeback, and will include the classic “Emerald” colorway in Fall.
Deion Sanders is one of the most gifted athletes ever. His career playing both professional baseball and football at the same time is well documented, and earned him a coveted line of signature Nike shoes, most of which were designed specifically for two-sport athletes to wear in all kinds of fields of play. After Sanders resigned with Nike in 2023, the Swoosh started work on retro releases of some of his iconic models, like the Air Diamond Turf that returns in 2025.
The Diamond Turf was Deion’s signature model that released in 1994. Built for wear on both turf football fields and the baseball diamond, the shoe was an instant classic both on and off the field. This week, news of the shoe’s “Emerald” color scheme has surfaced, currently expecting a Fall release for the OG colorway. The pair mixes a black base with white overlays for the upper, adding the “emerald” teal shade to the branding and outsoles to complete the look.
NIKE AIR DIAMOND TURF “EMERALD” 2025 RELEASE INFORMATION
Nike’s release of the Air Diamond Turf retro have yet to begin, and many do not have set release dates yet. The “Emerald” pair from the OG 1994 run is expected to arrive sometime in Fall 2025, available from both Nike and select retailers for an expected $150.

Action Bronson has been cooking up a series of New Balance 992 colorways for a while now. This week, we finally got our first look at the second pair, dressing the shoe in an eye-catching palette based around a “Cosmic Rose” pink hue.
Action Bronson’s collaborations with New Balance have been some of the top sneaker highlights for the past few years. Baklava’s eclectic taste in sneaker design has given us some colorful and exciting takes on the 990v6, 1906R, and even the Minimus trail shoe. This year, the rapper has been teasing his next project, a batch of colorways for the fan-favorite 992 Made in USA. One pair from the collection was already teased at an event earlier this year, dressed in brown suede with blue and orange accents for a “Knicks” look. Now, Bronson’s second pair has emerged.
This week, Action Bronson attended the premiere of Caught Stealing, the latest Darren Aronofsky film starring Austin Butler and Matt Smith. Stepping onto the red carpet with his wife, Baklava was sporting a previously unseen pair of the NB 992, dressed in a bold pink color scheme. The shoe was quickly identified as one of his upcoming releases, presumably the “Cosmic Rose” style. The look features a muted orange mesh underlay, paired with a mix of pink shades for the overlays. Blue accents can be spotted on the heels, while a grey tongue and matching laces complete the look.
ACTION BRONSON X NEW BALANCE 992 “COSMIC ROSE” RELEASE INFORMATION
The second pair of Action Bronson’s take on the New Balance 992 has not been announced yet, but hopefully will arrive before the end of 2025. Dressed in bright shades of Cosmic Rose and Magenta pink for this style, pairs will likely be available through both the Baklava website and New Balance, with a potential wider release from select retailers. The price tag for this release is expected to be set at $250.

New York purveyor of excellent clothing Engineered Garments has announced their latest sneaker collaboration this week. Reuniting with Vans and their OTW division for this project, the pack features two asymmetrical styles of the Slip-On.
Engineered Garments has been producing some of our favorite apparel since its founding in 1999. Created by Daiki Suzuki, a Japanese designer, the brand calls New York City home, and pulls inspiration for all of their work from a blend of both American and Japanese influences. Their signature massively oversized fits are paired with highly detailed constructions, and then mixed in fun, unique color blockings and finally, so, so many pockets.
EG regularly teams up with a variety of brands for special collaborations, but their footwear releases are few and far between. The last sneaker collab we saw from them was with Reebok in early 2024. This week, they’ve announced a new Vans project, releasing tomorrow. Featuring the classic Slip-On silhouette, the shoe is dressed in two asymmetrical color schemes. The look is inspired by an archival Vans advertisement, where a skater was shot wearing two different colored Authentics, stating that he’d switched one shoe with a friend who rode in an opposite stance.
ENGINEERED GARMENTS X VANS OTW SLIP-ON RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest project from Engineered Garments and Vans’ OTW division has been scheduled to release tomorrow, August 28th, 2025. Featuring the iconic Slip-On model in two asymmetrical color blockings, pairs will be available through the Vans website, as well as select retailers that carry both EG and OTW. Pricing for this project is set at $100 each.

Jordan Brand has released hundreds of iconic colorways of their massive arsenal of sneakers over the last four decades, but only few have risen to the top as the best of the best. One of these is Undefeated’s take on the Air Jordan 4, a grail-worthy pair released in ultra-limited numbers back in 2005. Now, rumors have begun that the iconic look will return in 2025 for its twentieth anniversary.
Founded in 2002, Undefeated has become a staple of the story of streetwear over the last two decades. The Los Angeles-based retail chain has become a go-to hub for sneakers and apparel in each city where their stores reside, and have even extended across the Pacific Ocean to build a strong presence in Japan and China. Familiarly known as UNDFTD, the brand has also built a strong relationship with Nike over the years, regularly collaborating on some of the Swoosh’s iconic silhouettes from Dunk to Air Forces to Kobe sneakers. However, one project of theirs stands above the rest as a true piece of sneaker history.
In 2005, Undefeated became the first boutique retailer to collaborate with Jordan Brand. They crafted a special release of the Air Jordan 4 inspired by the MA-1 military flight jacket, casting the shoe in olive green nubuck, with black and orange accents, and a velcro tongue patch as an added nod to the iconic coat. Limited to just 72 pairs total, the shoe’s were remarkably hard to get, and to this day have sold for up to $18,000. Now, rumors have begun to surface that the special-edition pair will see a rerelease in Spring 2025. Nothing concrete has been confirmed yet, but the twentieth anniversary of such an iconic silhouette is cause for celebration.
UNDEFEATED X AIR JORDAN 5 2025 RELEASE INFORMATION
The iconic pair of the Air Jordan 4 from Undefeated returns on June 28th, 2025. This is the shoe’s twentieth anniversary. Pairs will likely be available from select Jordan Brand retailers as well as Nike’s SNKRS app and Undefeated, with a price tag above $225. Check out the photos of the 2005 release below for a better look, and stay tuned to JustFreshKicks for more Jordan release news, like the “First in Flight” AJ1 releasing in July.

UPDATE 3/6/25: We have our first look at the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 retro rumored to return this year. Only one photo is available at the moment, but hopefully we will see more before the rumored June release date.
UPDATE 1/2/25: Two different versions of Undefeated’s AJ4 retro are now expected to release; one will have the Jumpman logos on the heels and the other will have the classic Nike Air branding, which did not come on the original release. There are still no photos of the “Deep Green” style, and we are still a ways away from the expected June release.
Jordan Brand is bringing out the “Reverse Shadow” colorway yet again in 2025, this time in the form of the Air Jordan 1 ’85, for the silhouette’s fortieth anniversary. No official information is available yet, but they will likely echo the OG unreleased sample and 2021 style closely.
Jordan Brand’s current top-tier version of the AJ1, the ’85 edition, has been their canvas to launch some iconic styles of the legendary sneaker, a fair few of which have never seen a public release, or at least a retro since their releases in 1985 and 1986. One of these styles just got a rumored release in 2025; the “Reverse Shadow” pair, originally sampled but never released with the first wave of Michael Jordan’s first signature shoe. The color scheme, which flips the grey and black panels of the OG Shadow look, did get a release back in 2021 with the standard-issue variant of the AJ1 High OG. Now, the remastered, retooled ’85 edition will be taking on the color palette to engineer the shoe as closely as possible to its original format.
AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH ’85 “REVERSE SHADOW” RELEASE INFORMATION
Jordan Brand’s next release of a “Reverse Shadow” Air Jordan 1 High has not been announced for release yet, but is currently rumored to arrive sometime in Summer 2025. The ’85 edition of the silhouette will likely be available in limited supply, releasing from Nike’s SNKRS platform and select retailers for an expected $200. Check out the original sample below and the mock-up above for a better idea of what to expect, and stay tuned to JustFreshKicks for more Jordan release news, like the “Oxidized Green” AJ1 Low coming soon.

UPDATE 8/26/25: After previously releasing exclusively in Japan last month, alongside the Bandai mini AJ1 figures, the “Reverse Shadow” Air Jordan 1 has now surfaced from European retailer Foot District, releasing tomorrow via a raffle. Hopefully this means we will get a stateside release in the near future.
UPDATE 7/24/25: Unfortunately, this AJ1 High 85 release is now expected to be a Japan-exclusive drop. There is a pop-up event in Shibuya and a raffle from V.A. Tokyo open here, but so far no word on a global drop.
UPDATE 3/31/25: Official images are here, but still no release date.
UPDATE 3/4/25: The first look at the AJ1 High ’85 “Reverse Shadow” is here this week, ahead of its expected debut this Summer.
Kobe Bryant donned a ton of iconic Nike shoes when he first switched to the brand in the early 2000s. In 2006, Bryant was given a special PE pair of the Air Force 1 clad in Denim. Now, the shoe is rumored to release to the public in a Protro format next Summer.
Back in 2003, Kobe Bryant officially joined Nike, after releasing a short run of signature sneakers with adidas. The rest is history, with the Mamba releasing a total of twelve signature sneakers with the Swoosh, as well as a huge range of special projects and collaborations. Kobe was a fan of the Air Force 1, and had a number of special player exclusive models under his belt for wear off the court. Among them is an iconic style from 2006, the “Denim” look, which has remained a one off pair from Nike for the last twenty years.
However, rumors this week tell us that the “Denim” Air Force 1 will officially release to the public in Summer 2026. This release will mark twenty years since the model was originalyl spotted on Kobe’s feet, but this time, the silhouette will come in the new Protro format. This newly updated version made its debut last month in the “Pale Yellow” Kobe edition, and features a full-length drop-in midsole made from ReactX cushioning.

During Paris Fashion Week, LA brand Basketcase showed off a special-edition pair of the New Balance 204L. The grey pony hair look was a F&F exclusive, but now they are teasing their general release pairs of the silhouette, coming soon.
This Summer, New Balance introduced a brand new silhouette to their catalog, the 204L. The model combines the classic NB aesthetic with the trend of super slim, small sneakers through its barely-there rubber midsole. The model made its debut through a collaboration with Kith this month, along with a Paris Fashion Week appearance from AURALEE. The sneaker made its in-line debut this week with a “Mushroom” color scheme, with more in-line styles on the way soon.
In another Paris Fashion Week preview, LA brand Basketcase showed off their take on the 204L in their showroom. Dressed in grey pony hair, the pair is a friends & family exclusive, though they stated that a general release is on the way soon. Now, the Basketcase team has teased what these pairs for the public might look like. Showing off three samples, each one features a different mix of materials. First up, a pony hair style in black and white adds glossy patent leather to the toe box. The second pair comes entirely in black, featuring what appears to be a suede build with a pattern throughout the underlay. Finally, the remaining pair comes in a classic NB mesh and synthetic styling, dressed in white with metallic silver accents.

Los Angeles-based Basketcase has yet to formally announce their public release of the New Balance 204L. However, they stated during Paris Fashion Week that the project would arrive later in 2025.
