Nike’s “Eclair” Air Max Plus Returns in Summer 2025

Nike’s celebration of their Air Max Plus is continuing in 2025, this time issuing retro colorways of the shoe from 2000 for a special twenty-fifth anniversary release. This week, we got our first look at the “Eclair” or Lightning pair, coming soon.

The Nike Air Max Tuned 1 was originally released in 1998, through a partnership with Footlocker that saw the running shoe drop exclusively through the retailer’s stores. Since then, the model has become an essential part of the Air Max lore, as the first shoe to feature the at-the-time brand new Tuned technology underfoot. Now known as the AM Plus, the silhouette has been celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary since 2023 with a range of retro colors.

The latest of Nike’s classic styles to surface is the 2000 “Eclair” edition of the Air Max Plus. Released alongside models from the Alpha Project, like a similar pair of the Air Presto, the shoe features a lightning bolt graphic across the upper. The 2025 pair is an exact replica of the OG, dressed in navy blue with a suede mudguard accents, and white midsoles with bright Salsa Red accents.

NIKE AIR MAX PLUS “ECLAIR” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s latest retro of an OG Air Max Plus colorway does not have an official release date yet, but is expected to arrive sometime in Summer 2025. The lightning bolt-clad “Eclair” style will be available from both Nike and select retailers, with a price tag of $180.

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “Red Stardust” Releases in June 2025

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Red Stardust HJ4135-600

Sneaker releases and leaks for next year are starting to pile up, with some exciting releases on the horizon. This week, new colors of the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro have emerged in mockups, like this “Red Stardust” style for Spring.

Nike SB’s releases of their Dunk Low Pro styles are some of the hottest in-line shoe drops on the market. This is partially due to the nature of their releases; available exclusively through the SNKRS app and skate shops with an SB account, making them hard to find, and even harder to actually get your hands on. Luckily, SB regularly has new models available each season.

This week, a number of leaked styles for Spring 2025 of the SB Dunk have surfaced. Most of these leaks contain just information, and are then mocked up by the leakers themselves, like this “Red Stardust” pair. Expected in mid Spring, the look features shades of orange, pale red, and olive across its upper.

NIKE SB DUNK LOW PRO “RED STARDUST” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike SB’s upcoming “Red Stardust” colorway of the Dunk Low Pro is expected to release sometime in Spring 2025, likely in April. Featuring secondary colors in olive and orange, pairs will be available via SNKRS and skate shops for $115.

atmos Flips the Aqua adidas ZX 8000 for the Next G-SNK Release

0

Japanese retailer atmos is always cooking up a new sneaker release, dropping special projects with major brands practically every month. Today, we have our first look at their next entry in the adidas G-SNK series, a bright yellow ZX 8000.

atmos is one of the most prolific, and longest-standing collaborators in the world of sneakers. The Japanese retailer opened its doors in Harajuku in 2000, rooted in a love of vintage Americana style. Over the years the brand has evolved to center around streetwear and American-inspired brands, and began releasing regular projects with household names like Nike, New Balance, and adidas.

Over the last few years, atmos has leaned heavily into their relationship with adidas, including an ongoing G-SNK series highlighting the ZX 8000. The series pits the ZX8k in fresh colorways, each bearing snakeskin panels and other fun details. This week, we have an early look at their next installment, which follows up on the “Glow Snake” pair from last Summer. The new edition is a flip of the iconic “Aqua” color scheme for the model, remixing the fan-favorite palette. This look sports a mostly bright yellow upper, adding aqua blue soles and stripes, with a touch of purple to round out the look.

ATMOS X ADIDAS ZX 8000 G-SNK “YELLOW” RELEASE INFORMATION

The next installment in atmos and adidas’ ongoing G-SNK series, featuring the ZX 8000, has not been announced yet, but is expected in Summer 2025. Delivering a fresh take on the iconic Aqua color scheme, the new bright yellow look will likely be available through both atmos and adidas channels. Pricing information is currently unavailable.

Price: $130

UPDATE 6/6/25: atmos has announced the release of their tenth adidas ZX 8000 “G-SNK” release, dropping on June 13th, 2025. Pairs will be available through both partners for $130. New photos of the shoe’s details are below, along with a graphic showcasing all ten pairs since 2011.

The Nike Dunk Low Goes Gore-Tex for Fall 2025

The Nike Dunk has been a very important piece of Nike’s catalog over the last five years, with hundreds of colorways released in that time. Now, the Swoosh is trying something new, bringing Gore-Tex lining to a new pair in “Crimson” red for Fall 2025.

Gore-Tex is one of the many man-made miracles, a material that is essentially 100& waterproof, keeping us dry via apparel and sneakers for decades now. GTX is often added to some of our favorite sneaker models during the Fall and Winter months, adding extra protection while keeping us fresh throughout the rainy season. Nike has added Gore to the Air Jordan 1, Air Force 1, and many more, but they have very rarely, specifically once, used GTX in a Dunk release.

This year, Nike will release in-line styles of the Dunk Low with a Gore-Tex membrane embedded in the upper. The only Dunk release in history to have GTX was a Medicom release in 2008, making this the first in-line, widely available pair to feature the technology. Early photos of a pair in “Crimson” red have surfaced today, featuring two shades of neon red across the upper, and adding burgundy accents for the laces and heel tabs. Molded Swooshes appear on either side, and in plain white for this colorway.

NIKE DUNK LOW GORE-TEX “CRIMSON” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s debut of a new in-line, Gore-Tex-clad Dunk Low has not been announced, but is currently expected to arrive during the Fall 2025 season. Seen here in a brilliant “Crimson” red color scheme with molded white Swooshes, pairs will likely be available from both Nike and select retailers, and will carry a price tag of $150 for the special waterproofing.

New Balance’s 990v6 in “Vintage Indigo” Joins the Community Pack

The last week has brought us a look at several upcoming styles from New Balance featuring the 990v6. Now being dubbed the “Community” pack, the third and final style in the series gives the shoe a makeover in “Vintage Indigo”.

New Balance’s sixth iteration of their 1982 990 running shoe burst onto the sneaker scene in 2022, just a few years after the launch of the v5. The new version was one of the shortest turnaround times from its predecessor, with both the v5 and v6 models arriving in three year intervals after the v4. Now, the 990v6 is one of the most frequent releases in the brand’s catalog, and arrives in fresh colors and collaborations every month.

Over the past week, we’ve seen a number of new colors for the 990v6 surface online, particularly through the subreddit dedicated to New Balance. One of the users has seemingly gotten their hands on several pairs from the “Community” pack, which dresses the shoe in vivid colors over a flat grey base layer. The third and final pair joins the “Clay Ash” and “Community Red” styles with a classic NB tone; Vintage Indigo. This pair sports the same gunmetal grey base with dark shades of blue making up these suede paneling and midsoles.

NEW BALANCE 990V6 “VINTAGE INDIGO” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s next colorway of their Made in USA 990v6 for the 2025 “Community” collection has not been announced for release yet, but will arrive sometime soon in 2025. The “Vintage Indigo” style, mixing shades of blue over a grey base, will be available from the brand’s website as well as select retailers for $200.

LTTT Asics GEL-Nimbus 10.1

Los Angeles ping pong club and apparel brand Little Tokyo Table Tennis has been working with Asics on a special collaboration. Their take on the GEL-Nimbus 10.1 silhouette releases this weekend, in a striking yellow color scheme.

Little Tokyo Table Tennis is a unique community initiative based in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo district. The group meets every Tuesday evening to play and celebrate the sport of table tennis, and has grown into a full-fledged brand supplying its members and the community at large with gear and apparel direct from the ping pong world. Their offerings include shirts, caps, track suits, and specialized bags for carrying table tennis gear, as well as scarves, jerseys, and much much more.

This week, LTTT is releasing their debut collaboration with Asics, the Japanese running brand known for seeking out small, niche brands for their unique sneaker releases. For this project, LTTT is working with the GEL-Nimbus 10.1 as their canvas, casting the shoes in a striking bright yellow color scheme with some details pulled directly from the sport. The tongues are covered by a net-like mesh that appears to be pulled directly from a tennis table, and they’ve added their beloved no-tie shoelaces to each pair.

LTTT X ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 RELEASE INFORMATION

The debut collaboration from Little Tokyo Table Tennis, a ping-pong club in Los Angeles, is scheduled to release this Saturday, June 7th, 2025.

Fear of God adidas Basketball II Ash Pearl

After teasing their Summer 2025 lineup of colors for the Basketball II, Fear of God Athletics and adidas have finally announced the release of their next color scheme, “Ash Pearl”, releasing early in June.

The first pairs of Fear of God Athletics’ Basketball II by adidas finally arrived late in 2024, a highly anticipated release after the mixed reactions to their initial performance model. The follow-up model has been lauded for its sleek design and enhanced performance capabilities, and its arrival in both low- and high-top formats gives players some options on the court. During the NBA’s All-Star Weekend in February, three new styles of the shoes were teased during a Three Stripes Bball event, the first of which, “Putty Beige” released back in March.

Now, after a few months hiatus, the Basketball II is back with its next release slated for early in June 2025. This release will be the “Ash Pearl” color scheme, which dresses both styles of the shoe in tonal muted pink shades. The streamlined midsoles come in a semi-translucent off-white shade, while grey rubber heel counters and a black Fear of God label across the heels completes the look.

FEAR OF GOD ATHLETICS X ADIDAS BASKETBALL II “ASH PEARL” RELEASE INFORMATION

The next colorway of Fear of God Athletics’ adidas Basketball II sneaker will arrive next week, on June 6th, 2025. Dressed in the “Ash Pearl” light pink shade initially teased during All-Star Weekend, both the low and high-top styles will be available through both partners, with the usual prices of $180 and $200, respectively.

New Balance Douses the 990v6 in “Community Red”

New Balance 990v6 Community Red U990RT6

This week, New Balance has released their latest wave of styles from the Made in USA seasonal series, but some interesting new models have already leaked in tandem. Today, we have an early look at the “Community Red” 990v6, coming soon.

The Made in USA product line from New Balance has grown tremendously in the last few years, partly through their partnership with Aimé Leon Dore’s Teddy Santis as the creative director. While many releases have featured a range of iconic NB styles, mostly from the 99x family, the 990v6 has been a constant piece of the arsenal since its debut. The “Light Mushroom” style hits shelves this week, but our timelines have been consumed by a wave of bright new v6 colorways coming this year.

Over the last several days, a number of new pairs of the 990v6 have emerged courtesy of various leaks, where people appear to have these new styles already in hand. One pair comes in shades of teal dubbed “Clay Ash“, and now, a “Community Red” pair has emerged that follows the same color blocking. The look starts with a gunmetal grey mesh base, adding perforated leather mid layers in a pale red shade. The suede outer panels come in the vivid Community Red tone, while a splash of dark purple covers the midsole.

NEW BALANCE 990V6 MADE IN USA “COMMUNITY RED” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s next colorway of their Made in USA 990v6 for the 2025 collection has not been announced for release yet, but will arrive sometime soon in 2025. The “Community Red” style, mixing shades of red over a grey base, will be available from the brand’s website as well as select retailers for $200.

New Balance Refreshes the 991v2 in a “Grounded Pastels” Pack

New Balance’s 991v2 has been an essential piece of the brand’s catalog since its introduction in late 2023. This week, we have a closer look at their “Grounded Pastels” pack of the Made in UK runner, which arrives this Summer.

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, full official imagery of an upcoming two-pack of colors has surfaced for the Made in UK 991v2. Dubbed the “Grounded Pastels” pack, the set douses the shoe in two beautiful color schemes in your choice of “Celestial Blue” or “Mineral Green”. The former uses a pale baby blue shade for the suede outer layers, mixing a slightly darker blue for the mesh and breaking it up with grey mid layers. The green pair follows the same format, mixing a bright green outer shell with a darker base layer and grey accents. Both pairs feature cream white laces and black N logos.

NEW BALANCE 991V2 “GROUNDED PASTELS” PACK RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s upcoming release of their Made in UK 991v2 is currently expected to arrive in June, 2025, though a set date has not been announced yet. Featuring two colorways in the “Grounded Pastels” pack, featuring vivid shades of “Mineral Green” and “Celestial Blue”, pairs will be available from both NB and select retailers for $250 each.

New Balance’s “Clay Ash” 990v6 Releases in 2025

New Balance just released their latest wave of seasonal styles from the Made in USA product line, and already we have some early looks at new pairs. Today, the 990v6 emerged in a teal “Clay Ash” style, coming soon.

The New Balance 990v6 is one of the more interesting modern-day models from the iconic running brand. Introduced a few years ago, the silhouette marks the sixth iteration of the 990 franchise, which debuted in 1982. The silhouette has been updated every few years since, and the v6 bridges the gap between performance and lifestyle. The editorial campaign for the shoe’s launch positioned it as a modern-day running shoe, but the model sits almost exclusively amongst their casual offerings.

This week, new colors of the 990v6 have surfaced, following the release of their latest Made in USA Seasonal styles. Among the new looks is a “Clay Ash” pair, which brings a healthy dose of color to the sleek runner. The new style features a gunmetal grey mesh base layer, adding cream white suede structural support mid layers. The outer panels come in a pastel light blue shade, while dark teal accents line the lacing system and make up the entire midsole.

NEW BALANCE 990V6 MADE IN USA “CLAY ASH” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s next colorway of their Made in USA 990v6 for the SS25 collection has not been announced for release yet, but will arrive sometime soon in 2025. The “Clay Ash” style, mixing shades of grey with teal will be available from the brand’s website as well as select retailers for $200.
