Jul 5, 2025

Nike is having a stellar 2025 so far, with a number of silhouettes both new and old taking over the zeitgeist. This week, we have an official look at a slim new sneaker dubbed the Astra Ultra, coming soon.

The Nike train just keeps on rolling this year. The Swoosh has had a pretty incredible few months recently, with the Kobe line stacking up releases, SB Dunks piling up for the next year, fan-favorite Jordan releases coming soon, and much, much more. Nike is also working on plenty of new models to give us this year, like the imminent release of the Ava Rover, a bold new runner-inspired look. Additionally, this week we have our first look at another brand new Swoosh model, coming soon.

Nike is jumping on the slim sneaker trend this year, introducing a new model called the Astra Ultra. Borrowing its name from the Latin term Ad Astra, or “to the stars”, the new look provides a clean, near-seamless upper with swooping lines and a super slim midsole with plenty of rugged grip. The Astra’s upper seems to borrow some design language from the Air Max 95, combined with a molded element commonly seen in Foam series shoes. The midsole a wavy traction pattern at the heels and dots under the forefoot, with a gum rubber finish. Two colorways come with this light brown sole, one in white and another in dark burgundy.

NIKE ASTRA ULTRA “GUM PACK” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike has not yet officially announced their new Astra Ultra silhouette, but the appearance of official imagery indicates the release is likely coming very soon. The new silhouette’s slim profile and molded design will come in women’s sizing, releasing through both Swoosh channels and retailer partners with a price tag of $110.

New Balance’s 991v2 has been an essential piece of the brand’s catalog since its introduction in late 2023. This week, a new style of the Made in England runner has surfaced on release calendars, dressed in a vivid lime green suede.

The 991v2 model from New Balance has been one of their most exciting heritage silhouettes since its introduction nearly two years ago. Building on an iconic original design from 2001, the v2 version keeps the same classic look as its predecessor, adjusting some of the paneling and giving the shape a more sleek, forward-leaning stance. The Boston brand has also kept things fresh with a wide range of unique colors and special collaborations.

This week, a new style of the updated runner has started to appear on release calendars from overseas retailers, with a drop scheduled for early July. The new take brings another colorful palette to life, once again focused on shades of green. The look begins with a dark, forest green shade for its mesh base layer, adding leather midlayers in a light grey shade for the toes and tongues. The shoe’s outer layers are constructed in suede, and dyed in a bright lime green shade, with darker gunmetal grey accents for the N logos and 991 branding. Finally, the midsole adds small hits of orange for the Abzorb cushioning.

NEW BALANCE 991V2 “LIME GREEN” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s latest style of their Made in England 991v2 has not been given a global release date yet, but is releasing from some overseas retailers like 43Einhalb on July 2nd, 2025.

adidas’ return of the Handball Spezial last year has been a quiet success for the Three Stripes. This Summer, the brand is issuing a new Made in Germany edition of the classic trainer, starting with a Preloved Ink blue style.

The Handball Spezial is one of the best retro releases we’ve sene from adidas in years. The simple, iconic silhouette packs a ton of comfort into a deceptively slim package, using comfortable soft touch suedes and added arch supports in the insoles. The model has flown relatively under the radar since its return, with new colors and styles hitting shelves each season, with some special collaborations along the way. Now, the brand is kicking it up a notch with a new Made In__ edition.

The latest special release for the Handball Spezial takes the shoe through adidas’ Made in Germany program, a recent development which produces limited runs of iconic sneakers close to the brand’s home. Following in the footsteps of the Samba and Superstar, the Handball looks nearly identical to its standard-issue siblings, but comes packed with quality from materials to the stitching. The shoe comes in a “Preloved Ink” shade of blue suede for its debut, and will come in special Made In__ packaging with extra laces for a touch of customization.

ADIDAS HANDBALL SPEZIAL MADE IN GERMANY RELEASE INFORMATION

adidas’ new Made in Germany edition of their Handball Spezial does not have a set release date yet, but pairs have already started to pop up through adidas’ overseas platforms. Dressed in a Preloved Ink navy blue suede, the special-edition release will likely be available through both the Three Stripes and select retailers, and is expected to come with a $230 price tag.

Nike almost certainly has some surprises in store for us this year, but one of them just leaked a bit ahead of schedule. This Fall, the Air Max Plus’s VII variant is expected to return in its OG “Varsity Maize” color scheme.

Nike has been on a roll with their Air Max Plus retro for the last few years. The model, which originally debuted as a Footlocker exclusive in 1998, celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2023, but has continued to pop up in new and classic styles since. Now, the Swoosh appears to be preparing to retro a variant of the beloved model later this year, the Air Max Plus VII.

Nike’s VII variant of the Air Max Plus made its debut back in 2005, seven years after the original. The shoe retained most of the features of its predecessor, but revised the pattern across the upper to resemble water droplets of stippled dots for a sleek new look. This year, the Swoosh is preparing to roll out the model once again, including one of their original “Varsity Maize” color schemes from the mid-2000s, complete with a metallic silver dot pattern.

NIKE AIR MAX PLUS VII “VARSITY MAIZE” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s retro of the mid-2000s Air Max Plus VII has not been officially announced yet, but is expected sometime in Fall of 2025. Kicking off with the OG “Varsity Maize” colorway, pairs will be available from both Nike and select retailers, though no retail price is known yet.

New Balance’s 992 has returned to their Made in USA lineup this season, after the model was holstered for the last few years. This week, a clean “Marsh Green” look from the Teddy Santis-led division has surfaced, coming soon.

New Balance’s 992 silhouette had quite a moment in 2020, as the Boston brand’s retro stylings were hitting peak popularity. The 2006 model was at the epicenter of their catalog for that year, appearing in tons of in-line and Made in USA releases as well as a wide range of collaborations. In 2022, the model was put on the back burner, disappearing from release calendars for a few years until returning to the MiUSA line in 2024.

Now, we have plenty of new releases for the 992 to look forward to, with this week bringing us an official look at some new seasonal styles coming in July. The pair seen here is a smooth “Marsh Green” colorway, which adds some traditionally collegiate colors to an otherwise fresh white sneaker. The mesh base comes in a cream or off-white shade, adding sheer white panels for the shoe’s exterior. The suede mid layers come in a lush forest green shade, with navy blue accents for the various branding elements. Finally, icy blue Abzorb cushioning pods appear throughout the midsole.

NEW BALANCE 992 MADE IN USA “MARSH GREEN” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s latest style of the Made in USA 992 has been officially scheduled to release next month, on July 10th, 2025. Dressed in a mix of cream and white with collegiate blue and green accents, pairs will be available through New Balance channels and select retailers for $200.

Damian Lillard is reaching a historic milestone with his adidas signature line this year, the Dame 10. Unveiled at the NBA All-Star Weekend this month, the new silhouette debuts in June with the “Dame’s Light” color scheme.

Damian Lillard’s sneaker line with adidas is one of the most popular, and longest running athlete signatures for the brand. Tied with James Harden for their product lines’ longevity, both on their ninth iteration, the Dame series has had some fun releases over the years, including several projects with BAPE. This past weekend, at an NBA All-Star event, adidas unveiled the next release for Lillard, the Dame 10.

Damian Lillard’s tenth signature sneaker with adidas arrives this Summer, and packs some fun details into a compact design. The new model appears to feature the same mid-level cut collar as its predecessors, and adds a series of wavy line to the upper that span the perimeter of the silhouette. The collar portion of the “Dame’s Light” color scheme shown at the event comes in black, while the rest of the shoe comes in a Lime Burst green shade with a bright orange toe section. However, the most remarkable part of this new model is its price tag, a staggeringly cheap $90. While you are still likely getting your money’s worth performance wise, this new accessible price tag is a 30% reduction from the ninth model.

ADIDAS DAME 10 “DAME’S LIGHT” RELEASE INFORMATION

The next iteration of Damian Lillard’s signature shoe with adidas, the Dame 10, will make its debut this Summer, on July 3rd, 2025. Seen here in its “Dame’s Light” lime green color scheme, pairs will be available from both adidas and select retailers, with the incredibly affordable price tag of just $90.
