While Nike has announced plans to scale back Dunk releases going forward, they are still outfitting us with a durable new Gore-Tex edition of the sneaker for wet weather this year. Check out the “Ceramic” style, coming soon.
One of the best parts about Fall & Winter sneaker styling is the addition of waterproof elements in our favorite styles. Instead of needing rain boots all the time, brands like Nike, adidas, and New Balance have often turned to Gore-Tex to create weather-resistant versions of some of our favorite sneakers. This year, Nike’s Dunk Low is getting the GTX treatment, letting us brave harsher weather without the risk of ruining a great pair of sneakers.
This week we have our first official look at the Dunk Low Gore-Tex through retailer images. The model first popped up this Summer in a striking “Crimson” red color scheme, and now a second style has finally surfaced. This new pair dresses the shoe in a mix of Wheat brown and Ceramic orange shades. The former color makes up the silhouette’s leather overlays, while the latter is used for the base layer of the shoe. Swooshes come in a rubberized material, molded into shape and cast in black for this style. Neon red inner linings and Gore-Tex branding complete the look.
NIKE DUNK LOW GORE-TEX “CERAMIC” RELEASE INFORMATION
Nike has yet to officially announce the debut of their new Gore-Tex edition Dunk Low. However, the model is expected to launch in Fall 2025 ahead of the rainy Winter season. The latest pair dresses the shoe in Fall-ready Wheat and Ceramic Orange tones, and will be available from both Nike and select retailers for $150.

Summer has hardly begun, and already we are getting early looks at some of the Fall styles of our favorite sneakers. This week, we have an early look at a new pair of the Air Force 1 from Nike, blacked out with a Realtree camouflage pattern.
The Air Force 1 has proven time and time again that it deserves its place in the pantheon of all-time great sneakers. Nike’s dedication to the iconic shoe, constantly keeping the model refreshed with new styles, has kept it an essential part of the streetwear world for over forty years now. While they have seemingly experimented with nearly every color combination and material under the sun, the Swoosh still manages to surprise us with an excellent new take on the silhouette.
This week brings us a new style of the Air Force 1 Low that is one of those fun, unexpected takes on the shoe. Dressed and ready for the fast approaching Fall weather, this pair gives the AF1 a Realtree camouflage makeover, but not in the typical shades of green and brown. Instead, this style remixes the iconic triple black edition of the silhouette, constructing it from a canvas textile, and leaving the underlay panels in plain black. The Realtree pattern is only added to the shoe’s overlays, and uses black, grey, and tan tones to create the lifelike pattern.
NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW “REALTREE” RELEASE INFORMATION
Nike’s new Fall-ready edition of the Air Force 1 Low has not been officially announced yet, but is expected to arrive on October 3rd, 2025. Featuring a black canvas build with the Realtree camouflage pattern applied to the shoe’s overlays, pairs will likely be available from both Nike and select retailers for $125.
Nike Air Force 1 Low “Realtree” Style Code: IH1221-001 Release Date: October 3rd, 2025 Price: $125

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant now has two signature performance shoes with Nike under his belt. This year, the two will venture into the lifestyle space, with an exclusive Air Force 1 Low “Sundial”, coming this holiday season.
The Nike Air Force 1 is still synonymous with basketball culture, over forty years after its initial introduction in the early 1980s. The silhouette is has transcended to bridge the gap between sport and street styles, and is one of the pillars of modern-day sneaker culture as we know it. Nike has outfitted the AF1 in thousands of new styles and updates over the years, and its ties to basketball remain relevant with special player-edition releases, like the slew of upcoming Kobe pairs, including a Protro edition of the iconic silhouette.
This week, news broke of the latest player-edition model that will be coming later this year, in partnership with the Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant. Morant has a signature performance shoe with Nike, but recently teased a pair of the Air Force 1 to match a bright yellow colorway of his Ja 2. Thanks to @brandon1an, we now know this pair is currently scheduled to release during the holiday 2025 season. The look comes in a bright “Sundial” yellow color scheme, paired with a black midsole, tongue, collar, and finished with patent leather Swooshes and heel counters. Morant’s logo is stamped into the outside heel of each shoe.
JA MORANT X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW “SUNDIAL” RELEASE INFORMATION
The release of Ja Morant’s signature pair of the Nike Air Force 1 has not been set yet, but is expected to arrive sometime during the holiday 2025 window. Dressed in a bold yellow shade with black patent leather accents, pairs will be available through both Nike and select retailers, with an expected price tag of $110.

Philadelphia boutique retailer Lapstone & Hammer turns ten years old in 2025. To celebrate the huge milestone, the store has turned to a frequent partner, Asics, to release an anniversary edition of their GEL-1130 runner.
This century has marked a huge rise in sneaker culture, with plenty of new stores and brands rising up in the modern era of collaboration. Boutique stores are a favorite partner of footwear brands, offering a unique perspective on shoes as well as a dedicated space to showcase their products. One of the best over the last decade is Lapstone & Hammer, who frequently uses their strong relationship with Asics for special projects like their indigo dip-dye collection, or contributing to the upcoming GEL-Cumulus 16 “Tomo” release.
This year, Lapstone is turning ten years old, a huge milestone for an retailer in the rocky economic landscape of the last decade. To celebrate the store’s anniversary, L&H has turned once more to Asics to create a celebratory pair of the GEL-1130 runner.

Fragment and Union’s releases of the Air Jordan 1 are some of the most sought-after pairs on the aftermarket. Next year, the two will join forces, merging their iconic design choices into one. This week we have the first in-hand look at the white & black style, coming in 2026.
The story of an ultra grail in the world of sneakers is hard to ignore. When I started collection, living, and breathing sneakers in the early 2010s the sneaker of the moment was the 2014 Fragment x Air Jordan 1 High. The pair was and is an incredibly difficult to get release, and still fetches a hefty $1,500 these days. Los Angeles retailer Union has a similar story. Released in 2018, their first project featuring the AJ1 remains nearly unobtainable, unless you’re willing to pay up to $1,200 for the “Storm Blue” style. Over the last few years, leaks and rumors have pointed to a three-way release joining these two famous collaborators, dropping next year.
After two years of rumors, pairs of a Fragment x Union Air Jordan 1 finally started to surface over the last eight months. Fragment founder Hiroshi Fujiwara has been spotted wearing them, and early samples & production pairs have found their way into the hands of specialty dealers. This week, we have our first in-hand look at a black & white pair Hiroshi wore earlier this Summer. The look paints the iconic silhouette in a very simple neutral color blocking. Black toe box, Swoosh, and heel & collar overlays, and everything else in sheer white. The collar features Union’s stitching element and a flash of royal blue, while Fragment’s signature stamp appears on the outer heels.
FRAGMENT X UNION X AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH OG “BLACK/WHITE” RELEASE INFORMATION
The upcoming collaboration between Fragment and Union has still not been officially unveiled or announced, but pairs are rumored to release during the Spring/Summer 2026 season. The back & white pair seen here is the first instance we’ve seen of this color not on Hiroshi’s feet, meaning production and sampling is well underway. Pairs will likely be incredibly hard to get, and will release from Nike, Union, and select retailers for $200.
Fragment x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG Color: White/Black Style Code: II7282-100 Release Date: Spring 2026 Price: $200

atmos and adidas are back this month with yet another entry in their long-running “G-SNK” series. Highlighting the ZX 8000 in glow-in-the-dark and snakeskin details, the 11th edition showcases the fan-favorite “Turquoise” colorway from the ZX 9000.
The G-SNK series from atmos and adidas started way back in 2011. Short for ‘Glow Snake’, the project does exactly what the name suggests, applying snakeskin and GITD details to iconic adidas sneakers. The first release featured beloved ZX 8000 in its OG “Aqua” color scheme, but the series took an extended hiatus until 2019. The project was revived with a special pair of the NMD_R1, before reverting to the ZX family once more in 2020. Since then, they’ve released six more projects in the series, each paying homage to an icon from the ZX line.
This week, atmos unveiled their 11th entry in the G-SNK series, once again celebrating a fan-favorite color scheme from the ZX line, the 9000’s OG “Turquoise” color scheme. The look sports a minty green mesh base layer, with a more saturated hue making up the silhouette’s main leather overlay panels. Mid layer pieces come in plain white, while bright blue Three Stripes adorn either side of the shoe. Finally, red accents complete the color palette. Of course, the snakeskin texture is applied to the shoe’s main body panels, and that texture shows through when the glow-in-the-dark pieces are fully charged.
ATMOS X ADIDAS ZX 8000 “G-SNK 11” RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest entry in the ongoing G-SNK series from Japan’s atmos and adidas has been scheduled to release next week, on September 26th, 2025.

Pairs will be available exclusively through atmos’ stores and online. No Pricing info is available yet.

Their project, like many, will focus on the SB Dunk Low, bringing that signature BX style to the silhouette. The look features a blacked-out palette for most of the shoe’s layers, adding a pebbled texture that gives the shoe a shimmering appearance. Swooshes come in a reflective white leather, while twill piping has been added to each of the shoe’s panels, featuring a gradient coloring that adds colorful accents in red, orange, and green.

The Air Force 1 has a number of Kobe Bryant-inspired projects on the way from Nike this year. This week, a new pair has surfaced, decking out the model entirely in “Court Purple” and featuring a snakeskin pattern across the upper.
The Nike Air Force 1 has been synonymous with Kobe Bryant since the early 2000s, during the Mamba’s sneaker free agency period after leaving adidas. During the 2002-2003 season, Kobe wore custom pairs of the Air Force 1 Mid, dressed in Lakers colors. These styles were kept as player exclusives for over two decades, until Nike finally released the to the public in 2024, honoring his legacy in the shoe. Now, a new wave of Kobe-inspired AF1s have surfaced for 2025, now including a “Court Purple” edition.
The last pair of the Kobe AF1 we saw came as a teaser from Vanessa Bryant. The upcoming “Soft Yellow” style will mark the Air Force’s first Protro release, and is expected to release this Summer. this week, another KB-branded pair has surfaced, covered entirely in a regal “Court Purple” shade. This look features an upper with a snakeskin leather texture added, though it is difficult to make out what textile is actually used in the construction. The heel counters feature his original number, 8, while a dubrae on the left shoe’s toe has the word ‘Forever’ pressed into it.
KOBE BRYANT X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 “COURT PURPLE” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike has officially announced the return of its collaboration with New York artist Tom Sachs after reviewing its partnership, which had been paused in 2023 due to allegations against Sachs. This announcement marks a significant turning point in their relationship as Nike prepares to resume work on the highly anticipated NikeCraft Mars Yard 3.0.
The upcoming release continues the Mars Yard legacy, which began with the NikeCraft Mars Yard in 2012, followed by the Mars Yard 2.0 in 2017. The original sneaker had a niche following, but the Mars Yard 2.0 quickly became a favorite among sneakerheads, renowned for its distinctive design and rarity. Unworn pairs of the 2.0 still fetch thousands on resale platforms, solidifying its place as one of Nike’s standout models of the 2010s.
Nike paused its partnership with Sachs after reports surfaced alleging that Sachs fostered a volatile work environment. These allegations, published by Curbed in March 2023, detailed accounts of Sachs’ mistreatment of employees, including verbal outbursts and inappropriate behavior. Sachs responded by defending himself in an email to his studio, where he denied intentionally harming anyone and announced plans to formalize HR policies. Nike expressed deep concern over the reports and took time to assess its partnership with the artist.
Now, Nike is ready to move forward, citing Sachs’ recommitment to creating a respectful and inclusive workplace. In a statement, Nike confirmed: “Tom has demonstrated and recommitted to fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity… This next chapter of NikeCraft will uphold our shared passion for team, product, and storytelling excellence.” Sachs also expressed excitement about continuing the collaboration, sharing that the Mars Yard 3.0 is in its final stages of development and undergoing wear tests.
The NikeCraft Mars Yard 3.0 promises to build on the success of its predecessors, maintaining the unique design elements that have made the line so iconic. A teaser image featuring the inside tongue of the shoe with text identifying it as the Mars Yard 3.0 has already stirred excitement among fans.
NIKECRAFT MARS YARD 3.0 RELEASE INFO
The NikeCraft Mars Yard 3.0 is slated for release in 2025 through Nike.com and select retailers. Pricing details will be announced closer to the release date, but fans can expect it to follow the premium pricing of its predecessors.

More new footwear from Justin Bieber’s SKYLRK is on the way this year. After launching the footwear line this Summer with slides and mules, the Biebs has teased an upcoming sneaker silhouette, a mesh & synthetic tech runner.
This year, Bieber is launching a new exploration of footwear and clothing, under the name SKYLRK. We first took notice of the project earlier this Summer, when Bieber teased a number of footwear options including mules and slides, which arrived quickly afterward in July. Since then, both Bieber and the SKYLRK Instagram have shown off new and upcoming releases, and this week Bieber himself shared an early look at a new tech runner-style sneaker, which has caught our interest.
No information regarding this new SKYLRK silhouette has been made available yet, but we will be keeping an eye out for this release. Earlier this year a similar mesh and synthetic tech runner was teased, but this new silhouette appears to be an entirely different model. The new pair features a heftier midsole unit than the previous early look, which is segmented into smaller pods similar to something like the New Balance 9060. The upper leans on the popular ‘Y2K’ aesthetic of mesh and synthetic overlays, with an organic-looking plastic cage housing the mesh base. Two colorways were shared, both featuring a white base and adding the cage system in either pink or baby blue.
SKYLRK MESH RUNNER RELEASE INFORMATION
Justin Bieber has not announced any concrete details regarding the latest sneaker silhouette from SKYLRK, but based on their latest product tease, we could see this shoe arrive later in 2025. The new silhouette is currently nameless, but follows the Y2K aesthetic of mesh and synthetic running shoes, currently popular with Asics and New Balance. Pairs will be avialable exclusively through the brand’s website.

Stone Island and New Balance’s collaborative releases largely fly under the radar since their first team-up in 2022. The latest project is especially low-key, dressing the 574 in monotone shades for the “Ghost” collection.
Stone Island’s Ghost line is a recurring capsule collection built around monochrome design and camouflage-inspired subtlety. The Ghost label strips away bold branding and color contrast: even the Stone Island badge comes in tonal form to blend into each garment. It focuses on utilitarian, functional silhouettes; overshirts, field jackets, cargos, all crafted with technical and weather-aware fabrics like weatherproof cotton canvas, and new natural weaves like diagonal linen. For their upcoming Fall Ghost collection, SI has teamed up with New Balance for a trio of monotone 574 styles, releasing next week.
The new release from Stone Island and New Balance blends the classic 574 seamlessly into the Italian brand’s Ghost sublabel. The release features three pairs of the retro trainer, each constructed entirely from a soft suede, and dressed in a monotone palette from toe to heel, including the tongue badges. Even the midsoles are color matched through a suede wrapping. Colorways lean into SI’s typical palette, with pairs available in dark grey, dark brown, and an inky navy blue tone.
STONE ISLAND X NEW BALANCE 574 “GHOST” PACK RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest project from Stone Island and New Balance has been scheduled to release next week, on September 23rd, 2025. Featuring the 574 in a trio of monotone colors for the “Ghost” pack, pairs will be available through the SI website, though you will need to have an account and be logged in to purchase. Pairs will also be available in-person at all Stone Island stores, and a selection of boutiques in Asia. Check their release info page for the full list of those stores. No word yet on a wider NB release, or the price for each pair.

The Air Max 95 has been on an impressive string of releases this year, with Nike celebrating thirty years of the iconic runner. This week, we have our first look at an upcoming retro release, bringing back the OG “Grape” colorway for Summer 2026.
Many of Nike’s most important silhouettes have been celebrating anniversaries this decade. The kickoff came in 2020 with the Air Max 90, and this year they are celebrating two hugely important sneakers, the 1985 Air Jordan 1, and the 1995 Air Max 95. The latter has been on an impressive run this year, releasing in new colorways almost every month, most of which come in the “Big Bubble” format. This version reengineered the shoe’s midsole to fit the original, larger, specs of the Air bags, finally delivering Sergio Lozano’s original vision for the shoe.
This week, we have our first in-hand look at an important retro for the Air Max 95, one that has been mysteriously missing from the release calendar in 2025. The OG “Grape” colorway, debuted in 1995, will make a return next Summer. The look is one of the lighter color schemes from the shoe’s original run, featuring white as its main hue instead of dark grey or black. As you would expect from a proper retro, the look features the iconic Grape purple shade for the lacing system and tongue, with a hint of Emerald Green for the Air bags and Nike branding.
NIKE AIR MAX 95 OG “GRAPE” RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest OG colorway of Nike’s Air Max 95 to surface for a retro is expected to release in Summer 2026, but does not have a set drop date yet. Originally released for the shoe’s debut run in 1995, the fan-favorite color scheme will return this time with the new Big Bubble midsole format. Pairs will release from both Nike and select retailers, and is expected to retain the current $190 price tag.
Nike Air Max 95 OG “Grape” (W) Color: White/Court Purple-Emerald Green-Wolf Grey Style Code: HJ5996-100 Release Date: Summer 2026 Price: $190
