Nike Adds Clear Panels Back to the Air Force 1 for the “Invisible Woman 2.0”

In 2006, Nike released the Fantastic Four pack, nodding to the movies of that era. With a new film coming this Summer, the Swoosh is revisiting the release to give us an “Invisible Woman 2.0” edition of the Air Force 1 Low.

In 2006, Nike was the undisputed king of street sneakers. The brand was still in its lawless era, pumping out exciting special releases that nodded to pop culture moments of the time, without any official partnership or licensing agreement. In that year, the brand released the Fantastic Four pack, ahead of the Rise of the Silver Surfer sequel in 2007. Featuring the Air Max 90 for Reed Richards, Air Force 1 for Sue Storm, Air Max 95 for Johnny Storm, and Dunk High for Ben Grimm, the pack subtly appropriated Marvel’s First Family into the sneaker world.

This Summer, the Fantastic Four return to the silver screen for the first film adaptation of the characters under the supervision of Marvel Studios. To celebrate the occasion, Nike appears to be releasing a fresh take on the Invisible Woman Air Force 1, updating the look to reflect the team’s new suit designs. The 2.0 version retains the clear plastic panels of the OG, applying them to the toes and midfoot, while making up the heel panels, eyestays, and toe mudguards in pristine white leather. Subtle grey trim adds some dimension to the color scheme, while University Blue accents complete the look.

NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW “INVISIBLE WOMAN 2.0” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s rehashed version of a 2006 Air Force 1 Low, nodding to the Fantastic Four’s Invisible Woman, has not been announced for release yet, but will likely release sometime soon to coincide with the forthcoming Marvel Studios movie. The 2.0 edition adds more solid panels in white, and will likely be available from both Nike and select retailers. No pricing info is available yet.

New Balance Drops “Ice Blue” Accents Onto Their Latest 204L

Releases of the fresh 204L style from New Balance are well underway, with their first few in-line colorways currently available. This week, new colors have surfaced from the Boston brand, including a clean “Ice Blue” look, coming soon.

The 204L is New Balance’s direct response to the ultra slim sneaker trend that started in the high fashion industry. NB themselves directly contributed to this growing wave, through their collaborations with Italian label Miu Miu. The two took classic silhouettes from the Boston brand’s catalog, and applies ultra-thin sole units underneath. Now, the 204L is the first standard-issue style of its kind from New Balance, pairing their signature mesh and synthetic layered uppers with a nearly imperceptible layer of rubber cushioning.

After making its first appearance through leaks this Spring, the 204L finally debuted in July, through a project with Kith. The model still has collabs from Basketcase and AURALEE on the way, but NB is holding us over for the time being with some excellent standard-issue looks. This week, a new “Ice Blue” pair has caught our eye. The look features a plain white mesh base with some of its overlays in a matching plain white leather. The rest of its paneling comes in a metallic silver finish, with cream white laces adding a bit of depth to the neutral palette. Finally, the look is finished with the Ice Blue accent, added to the lacing loops, N logos, and heel counter panels.

NEW BALANCE 204L “ICE BLUE” RELEASE INFORMATION

The latest colorways of the 204L from New Balance have not been given a set release date yet, but will arrive during the Fall 2025 season. Seen here in a smooth white and silver build with “Ice Blue” accents, this pair will be available from both NB and select retailers, and will come with the usual $110 price tag.

Nike’s Air Max 95 Zip Returns for a Holiday 2025 Release

What a week for zippered sneakers. Looking at our home page right now, you’ll see several different styles of zippered shoes from Nike. Our final addition for the day is a retro of the Air Max 95Z or Zip, reportedly returning this holiday season with some smooth suede colorways.

Around the year 2000, Nike was experimenting with some wild new design choices in their running sneakers. Many of these trials were a part of their Alpha Project series, which presented some bold and unique designs to the world of running shoes. One of their most frequent additions to a shoe was the use of zippered shrouds, which covered the entire lacing system and kept it locked down, preventing laces accidentally untying. The trend was predominantly presented through the Air Max Sunder and Craze models, but in 2001, the concept was adapted to an already immensely popular shoe, the Air Max 95.

Sergio Lozano’s iconic Air Max 95 design has been on a hot streak so far this year, with Nike releasing a reengineered Big Bubble version to celebrate thirty years of the shoe. Now, it appears the Swoosh is ready to retro a semi-forgotten style of the sneaker, its AM 95Z variant. The pairs, as you can probably see, add the zippered shroud across the lacing system, which remains intact but simply hidden inside for a cleaner version of the iconic wavy model. Two colorways have surfaced for this first-ever retro, one in “Loyal Blue” with dark brown soles and orange accents, and another triple black style with dark grey accents.

NIKE AIR MAX 95 ZIP RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s revival of their Air Max 95 Zip does not have a release date yet, but is currently expected to arrive sometime during the holiday 2025 season. Featuring a zippered lace shroud and plenty of suede in its construction, pairs will be available in “Loyal Blue” and black colorways from both Nike and select retailers. The price tag for this release is expected to be set at $210.

Pharrell’s “Earth” Pack of the adidas AdiZero EVO SL Releases This Week

Pharrell and adidas are cooking up a new release this season. While it’s not the Jellyfish sneaker we’ve been impatiently waiting for, the Humanrace edition of the AdiZero EVO SL is releasing in August 2025.

Pharrell has been releasing various projects with adidas since their Humanrace NMD was a smash hit in 2016. The Virginia-based musician and designer has been given a high degree of creative freedom in his Three Stripes partnership, which he pushed to the edge for their NMD debut. Since then, his name or his Humanrace branding has been applied to dozens of releases, some more popular than others. This year, they have been teasing the debut of a new signature model, the AdiStar Jellyfish. While that release is right around the corner, they have a more subtle project also coming soon.

Pharrell has lent his Humanrace branding to a number of adidas in-line releases. These pairs typically aren’t as flashy as his other projects, and simply reinterpret a sneaker with a new color scheme. Their AdiZero EVO SL pack is one of these drops, dressing the running shoe in two simple styles. Options include either a white-based or all-black color scheme, both featuring the same colorful accents. The Three Stripes on each side of the shoe come in green, blue, and brown, with Humanrace branding on the insoles.

PHARRELL X ADIDAS ADIZERO EVO SL PACK RELEASE INFORMATION

Pharrell’s next release with adidas, the AdiZero EVO SL running show, has not been given a set date yet but is expected to land in August 2025. Featuring two colorways, one in white and the other in black, pairs will likely be available from both adidas and select retailers. Pricing is currently unknown but is not expected to change much from the standard $150 MSRP.

Nike Has a Winter-Ready Roam Edition Air Max Dn Coming Soon

With Fall and Winter weather just around the corner, Nike is preparing some of their favorite models for the harsher seasons. This week, their Air Max Dn, the 2024 Air Max Day new silhouette, has emerged in a zippered Roam edition, coming soon.

Last year, during their annual Air Max Day holiday in March, Nike introduced another brand new silhouette to the family, the Air Max Dn. The new model also brought along a new system of their Air cushioning bags, which they call Dynamic (Shortened to Dn, like Tuned and Tn.) The new system uses a cylindrical structure of air bag, filling each with different pressure levels for a dynamic comfort that is softer or harder depending on which section of the foot it is placed under. This year, Nike launched the Dn8 which added four additional cylinders for even more dynamic response.

While the Dn8 was the logical evolution for the new silhouette, Nike is not done with the base edition Air Max Dn yet. This week, three fresh colorways of the model have surfaced as a part of their Roam family, which takes fan-favorite models like the Vomero and gives them tougher, more rugged build. For the AM Dn, Nike has added a revised lacing system, now hidden under a zippered shroud and secured with a toggle lock for quick adjustments. The shoe has also been outfitted with a StormTread outsole, which uses high friction rubber and a ton of extra texture for better traction in wet environments. Three colors of the Dn Roam have been prepped for its debut, a black & Cargo Khaki look, a College Grey pair with colorful accents, and finally an all black and silver style.

NIKE AIR MAX DN ROAM RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s next evolution of their Air Max Dn, subtitled Roam, has not been given an official release date yet but is expected soon during the Fall 2025 season. Donning a zippered shroud and Storm Tread traction outsoles, pairs will be available in three colorways for its debut. All three styles are expected to release from both Nike and select retailers, and will carry a price tag of $190.

The Nike Air Max Sunder Brings Pine Green to a New Gradient Colorway

Since its return a year ago, Nike has given us plenty of interesting takes on the Air Max Sunder. Luckily, they have kept their simple colorways going as well, giving us new pairs like this “Pine Green” edition, coming soon.

Nike revived a legendary silhouette from their archives in Fall 2024, the Air Max Sunder. Originally released in the Alpha Project around the turn of the century, the shoe’s first-ever retro celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary, and is one of our favorite Air Max retros from Nike of this decade. The runner was a futuristic approach to sneaker design at the time, when Nike began experimenting with neoprene uppers and zippered shrouds for more form-fitting and easily accessible sneakers. More than twenty years later, that innovation has transcended into a unique fashion statement.

Over the last year, Nike has rolled out plenty of interesting new styles for the Sunder, including new materials, Gore-Tex water proofing, and unique patterns. However, our favorites are still the simple tonal colors or the gradient pairs, like the new “Pine Green” edition seen here. This look features a green upper that fades to black around the heels, making an excellent Fall color palette. This is paired with soft Wolf Grey for the airflow holes, and a matching grey midsole to complete the look.

NIKE AIR MAX SUNDER “PINE GREEN” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike’s latest gradient style of the Air Max Sunder retro does not have a release date yet, but is currently expected to release sometime in Fall 2025. Starting in vivid “Pine Green” at the toes and fading to black at the heels, pairs will be available from both Nike’s SNKRS app and select retailers with a price tag of $180.

The usual crepe midsole is still present, with flashes of red for the laces and heel counter branding.

DERRICK ROSE X FEAR OF GOD ADIDAS BASKETBALL II RELEASE INFORMATION

Derrick Rose’s signature version of the Fear of God x adidas Basketball II has not been announced yet, but is currently expected to release during the holiday 2025 season.

Converse is coming back to the NBA courts this year. The creator of the original player model basketball shoe, the Chuck Taylor, has long been an afterthought when it comes to performance footwear.

This week, we have our first official look at the project, as well as some in-hand images and a potential release window of October. For their final design, the shoe takes on a clean “Beach” color scheme. The look features a sandy tan shade across its full-grain leather upper, constructing the shoe’s inner working in black. The outsole adds some colorful accents in blue, purple, red, and yellow, with an iridescent heel clip to match.

The Nike Ja 3 Turns Into a Zombie for a Halloween Release

Last week, Nike Basketball took over the latest SNKRS Showcase to unveil a ton of upcoming product. One thing they neglected to show us was the Halloween edition of the Ja 3, which features GITD materials and a zombie theme.

Last week heralded the return of Nike’s SNKRS Showcase series, a livestream hosted in their app to give us early looks at some of the best sneakers from upcoming seasons. This edition was focused entirely on their Basketball division, giving us early looks at both retro and performance styles, and unveiling a range of new products. Teasers included our first official look at the GT Future, Foamposite retros like the “Pine Green” style, and player signatures like the Halloween edition KD18.

Ja Morant’s next signature model, the Ja 3, was also present during the show, unveiled in a pack of graffiti-inspired styles. However, they did not share the Halloween-inspired look that will release alongside the KD18 pair. Coming in October, the Ja 3 “Zombie” brings a bold green style to the sneaker, mixing shades of green across its textile base and rubberized overlay. The entirety of these rubberized pieces glow in the dark, as seen below, and the look adds brown laces, red Swoosh outlines, and a toothy lace ornament to complete the look.

The Air Jordan 1 High “Baroque Brown” is Now Available

Air Jordan leaks are the lifeblood of the sneaker rumor mill, with new styles and colorways surfacing months ahead of their actual releases. This week, a new Air Jordan 1 High joins that club, dressed in a mix of “Baroque Brown” and “Light Madder Root” shades, coming in 2025.

Jordan Brand releases are usually the highlight of new and upcoming sneaker news. In the past few years, we’ve been hearing about new styles far ahead of their launch dates, with mockup photos to accompany each new rumor, speculating on the colors and color blocking of each look. This week, a new Air Jordan 1 High for late 2025 has emerged, with an interesting color combo of Baroque Brown and Light Madder Root.

The pair shown in the mockup features a Sail white leather base for its upper, with the baroque brown shade making up the shoe’s suede overlay panels. The pale red Madder Root color is applied to the shoe’s collar and Swoosh elements. Once again, this is just a speculative mockup and not likely to be the final look of the shoe when it releases next year.

AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH “BAROQUE BROWN” RELEASE INFORMATION

The new color scheme of the Air Jordan 1 High is currently expected to arrive sometime in Fall 2025. Seen here only in a speculative mockup, the brown and light red style will be available from both Nike and select retailers for $180.

New Balance’s 2010 Pops in New Navy Blue & Pink Colorways

New Balance’s new 2010 silhouette is now in full swing, with several colorways already on shelves. This week, the mode has surfaced in new colorways for Fall 2025. One pair comes dressed in a dark navy blue tone, and the other in soft pastel pink hues.

New Balance just introduced the 2010 model this season, and the shoe already has a number of collaborations out in the world and lined up for the rest of the year. Kith had the opportunity to debut the model, and Rich Paul has two styles lined up for a Fall release. CdG teased a few pairs during this Summer’s Paris Fashion Week, and NB has two more in-line styles arriving later this month. Bolstering their standard-issue offerings, two more colorful options have surfaced this week.

Up until today, the large majority of New Balance’s colors for the 2010 have taken on neutral palettes. Kith’s pairs are the only ones on the market to offer any bright colors, but the Boston brand is changing that with their latest two styles. One of their new looks comes in a smooth navy blue shade, mixing different tones between the mesh underlay, suede overlay, and leather mid layers. Dark grey accents appear on the heel counters and N logos. The second pair features the same grey accents, adding more through the shoe’s leather panels. However, this look opts for a brighter color, applying pastel pink hues to the rest of the sneaker.

NEW BALANCE 2010 NAVY & PINK RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance has not yet announced the release of their latest colors for the 2010 runner. However, pairs are expected to arrive soon in late 2025.
