The Nike Air Superfly Retro in “Lab Green” Arrives in January

0

Nike is all about their archival catalog right now. The brand has revived a wide range of running shoes from the turn of the century. Next year, the Air Superfly joins that list, coming in January.

Nike has spent the last few years revamping some iconic silhouettes from their history. However, they have also revived a number of somewhat forgotten models, particularly experimental running shoes from the late ’90s and early ’00s. The Air Max Sunder is one of these shoes that have seen plenty of success, and now they are ready to give the Air Superfly a shot.

The Air Superfly is an early 2000s model designed as an ultralight, breathable, a minimal running shoe. The upper is made to morph to fit your feet, and features perforations all the way from toe to heel to keep air moving through. The sole uses encapsulated Air bubbles with a sculpted, sleek look. The Superfly is now confirmed for a release early next year, and among its launch colorways is a “Lab Green” style, paired with dark baroque brown.

NIKE AIR SUPERFLY “LAB GREEN” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s retro release of the Air Superfly runner is now expected to release early next year, on January 10th, 2025. The “Lab Green” and brown style will be among the first releases, available from both Nike and select retailers for $100.

Nike’s releases for early 2025 are starting to stack up, with a wide range of models and colors landing soon. Among them is an excellent new pair of the Dunk Low, dressed in a mix of Violet Ore and Cave Stone colors.

Nike will continue their long string of new styles for the Dunk Low in 2025. The silhouette was once one of the most sought-after and limited shoes in the Swoosh’s catalog, despite its standing as one of the most beloved models by sneakerheads. Since 2020, the model has finally been widely available, with hundreds of colors available for anyone’s style.

Despite the Nike Dunk’s wide availability and massive range of colors over the last four years, Nike still has some hits on their hands coming in 2025. This week, we have an eary look at a new “Cave Stone” colorway for the classic model, which pits leather and suede against each other in contrasting colors. The shoe’s leather base comes in a soft Platinum Violet shade of purple, with suede overlays in a dark “Cave Stone” brown color.

JJJJound and New Balance currently have multiple projects in the works as of this week. Today, the Montreal brand shared an early look at their next pair of the 2002R GTX, dressing the shoe in a triple black build.

JJJJound has become prolific in their sneaker collaborations, releasing multiple projects with their various brand partners every year.

This week, the Canadian apparel brand has teased another release, returning to the 2002R Gore-Tex they first dropped this past February.

The next pair of JJJJound’s take on the 2002R GTX is more simple than their previous two-pack, which features a pine green & black as well as a grey & black style. This time around, they have opted for a triple-black color palette, ditching the suede outer layer for supple leather instead. The collars and heel cushioning feature a flash of blue, while JJJJ branding on the toggle laces complete the look.

New Balance 1906L in “Dark Juniper” Releases in January

This year New Balance introduced a wild new take on their popular 1906 model, a loafer variant. The shoe has been fairly divisive since it first leaked online ahead of its debut, but continues to arrive in new styles like this “Dark Juniper” look.

The 1906L is one of the most talked-about new sneakers to launch in 2024. The New Balance model is a vast departure from their usual variants on the 1906 silhouette, and a highly unusual first from the Boston running shoe brand. The model slims down the retro runner into a slip-on, removing the laces in favor of a penny-loafer style panel across the midfoot sections.

This week, the 1906L returns in a fresh colorway for the new year, and a stunning color palette at that. Dubbed “Dark Juniper”, the pair starts with a muted green shade for its mesh base. Synthetic overlays are added in a mix of dark grey and metallic silver, while just a hint of navy blue decorates the collars and tongue bands.

NEW BALANCE 1906L “DARK JUNIPER” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s latest colorway of their 1906L, the loafer version of the retro runner, is scheduled to arrive this month, with NB’s release coming on January 15th, 2025.
