Infinite Archives’ Air Jordan 17 Low “Beach” Style Releases in October

0

Infinite Archives has been teasing a special release of the Air Jordan 17 for months now. After many sample, we now have a potential release window, bringing their smooth “Beach” colorway to the public in October 2025.

Infinite Archives is an internet archive of all things pop culture spanning the last few decades. Scrolling through their Instagram feed, you’ll find posts about music, movies, art, sports, cars, fashion, and most importantly, sneakers. They have even branched out into making their own products in recent years, which are stocked by retailers like A Ma Maniére and many more. This year, they’ve been teasing a collaboration with Jordan Brand and the Air Jordan 17, sharing early looks at multiple colorways.

Now, it appears all the samples they shared previously were dupes, or just samples along the way to the final result. 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.

INFINITE ARCHIVES X AIR JORDAN 17 LOW “BEACH” RELEASE INFORMATION

After months of teasing us with sample colorways, Infinite Archives is finally expected to release their Air Jordan 17 Low collaboration in October 2025. The official release pair will come in a “Beach” shade of off-white, with colorful accents for the heel clip and outsoles. Pairs will likely be limited, and hopefully available through both SNKRS and select retailers. Pricing is expected to be set at $305.

UPDATE 9/8/25: This weekend, Nike opened a NikeLab showcase in Seoul, South Korea, showcasing a range of upcoming product. The exhibit featured a section curated by Infinite Archives founder Isimeme “Easy” Otabor. Among this curated selection was a pair of the upcoming IA Air Jordan 17, coming soon.

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.

NIKE JA 3 “ZOMBIE” RELEASE INFORMATION

The upcoming “Zombie” edition of the Nike Basketball Ja 3 will release alongside their other Halloween-themed sneakers, expected on October 21st, 2025. Dressed in shades of green with red accents and glow-in-the-dark features, pairs will likely be available through Nike and select retailers like FootLocker for $140.

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. Dressed in two color schemes for this upcoming drop, one in navy blue and the other in soft pink hues, pairs will be available from both New Balance and select retailers for $160.

Aminé Unveils His New Balance 2000 “Biblioteca” Releasing in October

Aminé and New Balance are back! The two have not had any releases so far in 2025, and now we know why. They’ve been working on a special-edition pair of the new Abzorb 2000 silhouette, dressed in a lush green “Biblioteca” theme for an October release.

Aminé and New Balance released their first project back in late Summer of 2023. The two are an exciting partnership, with the Portland-born artist’s visual taste combined with the Boston footwear brand’s more understated, classic stylings. Their first venture brought us “The Mooz” 610, a trail runner featuring a banana-inspired color scheme. Shortly afterword, they released a trio of the laceless 610S, with each pair representing the various stages of ripeness for a banana. They then took a year off, coming back in November of 2024 with a “Benson Tech” colorway of the 740.

This week, after a few billboards popped up teasing a new release, Aminé and New Balance have unveiled their latest creation. Taking on this year’s new Abzorb 2000 style, the runner gets a striking look with inspiration from local public libraries. Dubbed “Biblioteca”, the collaboration brings bright green hues in varying shades across nearly the entirety of the 2000. The midsole adds small accents in white and black, while the Abzorb cushioning and select panels of the upper glow in the dark. Library-inspired detailing like a library card insole graphic, rules list on the tongue, and book drop packaging complete the new release.

AMINE X NEW BALANCE 2000 “BIBLIOTECA” RELEASE INFORMATION

The latest project from Aminé and New Balance is due out this Fall, on October 4th, 2025. Dressing the new 2000 silhouette in vivid shades of green across the upper, pairs of this special project will be available through the Club Banana website (sign ups for additional release details open now), as well as a later release from NB. Pricing is set at $170 for this limited-edition style.

New Balance Dresses the 991v2 in “Dusk” Purple, Releasing in September

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 “Dusk” purple suede, coming soon.

The 991v2 from New Balance is seemingly one of their most popular sneakers of the last two years. Introduced in 2023 as an update to the original from 2001, the new style made only slight modifications to the design, reappropriating the former running shoe for casual wear. The model is produced exclusively through their Made in England program, cut and assembled at their factory in Flimby, England. This is the cause of the shoe’s hefty $250 price tag, but allows for more releases of unique colors in smaller quantities.

More releases might be a bit of an understatement for the 991v2. The silhouette has released in 1 to 2 new colors almost every month after its initial rollout, refreshed seasonally with new color palettes. This week, another entry int heir Fall slate has surfaced, donning a clean “Dusk” purple shade. The look applies a near tonal shade of purple to both the mesh underlay and suede overlays, adding small silver reflective accents to the various branding elements, along with white and black accents to complete the look.

NEW BALANCE 991V2 “DUSK” RELEASE INFORMATION

New Balance’s latest editions of their Made in England 991v2 are currently expected to release on September 11th, 2025, though the brand has not officially solidified this date yet. The soft “Dusk” purple pair is among the styles slated for that drop date, and will be available through both NB and select retailers for $250.

The adidas AE2 Debuts on October 4th in a “With Love” Color Scheme

The second silhouette in Anthony Edwards’ deal with adidas has been on our mind for months now. After initially leaking last year, the AE2 is finally making its way to shelves this Fall, debuting in early October in a “With Love” color scheme.

The debut of Anthony Edwards’ second signature shoe with adidas, the AE2, has been a long process. After the success of the first model, the sophomore edition has been in the works for over a year now, with multiple samples popping up online, showing slow but steady changes to the design. The version we now know as the AE2 is rumored to have been the design designated for the AE3, though Edwards’ and his team were not satisfied with the 2, and instead swapped in the version we see here.

This weekend, adidas and Edwards finally announced the release of the Wolves’ star’s second silhouette, arriving in October. Dubbed “With Love”, the launch color scheme is inspired by his hometown of Atlanta, with colors pulled from the Georgia state fruit, a peach. The look features a bold pink mesh for the underlay, adding the new rubberized cage system in a pale orange or yellow shade. Black accents line the heels and toes, as well as making up the tongues and lacing system to complete the look.

ADIDAS AE2 “WITH LOVE” RELEASE INFORMATION

The sophomore signature sneaker from Anthony Edwards and adidas, the AE2, is finally scheduled to make its debut this Fall, on October 4th, 2025. Launching in a colorway dubbed “With Love”, the silhouette mixes pink and orange hues with black accents, and will likely be available in limited quantities through adidas and select retailers, with a price tag of $130.

Nike Brings “Dusty Sage” to the Ava Rover for Fall 2025

0

Nike delivered their new Ava Rover silhouette this Summer, bringing their ReactX cushioning to a lifestyle model for the first time. Now, new colors have started to pop up for the Fall release calendar, including a clean “Dusty Sage” color scheme.

Each year, Nike brings us a range of new silhouettes across a variety of categories. The Swoosh’s history of innovation drives this push for new and exciting sneakers, as well as the the search for the net “it” shoe. They’ve had some successful models in recent years like the Element series, and they appear to be chasing that same high with their latest; the Ava Rover. Featuring a chunky ReactX foam sole unit and some unique crinkly nylon materials, the shoe is rolling out in fresh colorways for Fall 2025.

Last month, we got our hands on a pair of the latest lifestyle sneaker from Nike, the Ava Rover, testing out its viability for everyday wear. Spoiler alert: It’s great! Now, we have an early look at an upcoming release as a part of Nike’s Fall wave, dressing the silhouette in a “Dusty Sage” look. The shoe features an off-white Light Orewood Brown tone for the crinkly nylon upper, paired with a muted green shade for the sculpted midsole and rubberized portions. The Swoosh branding is added in Plum Eclipse purple to complete the look.

NIKE AVA ROVER “DUSTY SAGE” RELEASE INFORMATION

The all-new lifestyle silhouette from Nike, the Ava Rover, made its debut back in July, and new colorways are expected to arrive throughout the Fall 2025 season.

The Air Jordan 4 Retro “Cave Stone” is Now Available

Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 4 “Cave Stone” in Fall 2025, adding to the iconic Air Jordan lineup with a rugged and sophisticated colorway. This upcoming release features a mix of Cave Stone, Moon Particle, and Black, which brings to mind the legendary Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 PE from previous years.

While official images have not yet been revealed, early mockups suggest that the sneaker will showcase these earth-toned hues in a way that emphasizes both its rugged aesthetic and classic Jordan DNA. The expected combination of materials will likely enhance the shoe’s overall durability and style, making it perfect for both on-court performance and streetwear fashion.

This release is rumored to be part of Jordan Brand’s continued expansion of the Air Jordan 4 silhouette, which has seen immense popularity in recent years. With the brand set to renew partnerships and release other anticipated Air Jordan 4 models in 2025, the “Cave Stone” colorway adds another layer of excitement to the lineup.

The Kobe Bryant x Nike Air Force 1 Low Appears in “Cargo Khaki” Green

This year, we’ve seen a serious uptick in Kobe releases from Nike. After negotiating a new contract with his estate a few years ago, releases have been nonstop. Today, we have our first look at another snakeskin edition of the Air Force 1, this time in a “Cargo Khaki” tone.

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 them to the public in 2024, honoring his legacy in the shoe. Now, a new wave of Kobe-branded AF1s is slowly trickling out.

This Summer brought us two releases of the Kobe Air Force, teasing the many more releases coming our way. First was the AF1 Protro, which outfitted the silhouette with a ReactX drop-in midsole. Then, we got a tonal white pair in snakeskin dubbed “Kobe Forever“, a format Nike will continue to use going forward. We are still waiting on the arrival of an all-purple pair, but this week another style has joined the growing list of releases. This new pair covers the shoe in a tonal “Cargo Khaki” build, a solid olive green shade Nike has been rolling out for Fall releases for the last few years.

KOBE BRYANT X NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW “CARGO KHAKI” RELEASE INFORMATION

The next release of an Air Force 1 bearing Kobe Bryant’s branding has not been officially announced yet, but pairs are expected to hit shelves in Fall 2025. This week, a new “Cargo Khaki” colorway has joined the series, sporting a tonal olive green shade. Pairs of this special release will be available through both Nike and select retailers for $120.

First Look at the Nike Lebron 23 “Grand Opening”, Honoring His First Sneaker

The twenty-third signature sneaker from Nike for Lebron James is almost here. Officially unveiled in its debut look this week, we now have an early look at a “Grand Opening” style, which celebrates his original Air Zoom Generation sneaker.

With the 2025-2026 NBA season starting soon, sneaker brands are starting to roll out their latest player signatures for the year. Over the past few weeks, Lebron James has shared a number of early looks at his twenty-third mainline sneaker, before the shoe was officially unveiled by Nike this week. The Lebron 23 is a special shoe, marking some major milestones. Twenty three years is the longest a single player has been in the league, and the silhouette is also somewhat of a “golden” celebration as it Bron’s jersey number.

This week, we got an early look at an upcoming release of the Nike Lebron 23, which celebrates the King’s original shoe, the 2003 Air Zoom Generation. This special release will take on the AZG’s original Cleveland-inspired color scheme, mixing white and dark red across the upper. The mesh upper features a floral print from toe to heel, while wht molded lower portion of the shoe comes in a red grid pattern. The two halves are separated by a thick black line of embroidery, while a gold foil Swoosh completes the new look.

NIKE LEBRON 23 “GRAND OPENING” RELEASE INFORMATION

Nike and Lebron James have yet to announce a release for this special pair celebrating his Air Zoom generation from 2003. However, the Lebron 23 is making its debut in October, and the “Grand Opening” style is expected soon. Dressed in a mix of red and white with a shimmering gold Swoosh, pairs will likely be available from both Nike and select retailers for $210.

The Nike Lebron 23 “Uncharted” Celebrates the King’s 40K Points

Lebron James is entering his twenty-third season in the NBA, and that means another entry in his mainline signature sneakers with Nike. The Lebron 23 is scheduled to make its debut next month, with the gilded “Uncharted” style celebrating the 40K point milestone.

Lebron James continues to make history in the NBA this year. The kid from Akron, Ohio will compete in his twenty-third season of professional basketball this year, making him the longest running active player in the league’s history. Last season, Bron also set a record for most points in a career, crossing the previously unheard of threshold of 40,000 points. As the sole proprietor of the 40K point club, James is in uncharted territory going forward, juicing his stats with every basket.

The 40K point club is the inspiration behind the debut of James’ first release of the Lebron 23, his latest signature shoe from Nike. This special release covers the new silhouette in an iridescent gold finish, giving the shoes the appearance of a heavy trophy instead of performance footwear. The look features 40K branding across the heels, and special riveted tongue tags with the King’s signature. Each pair comes inside an enormous shoe box, which includes a 40K hangtag accessory, a booklet commemorating the milestone, and more.

NIKE LEBRON 23 “UNCHARTED” RELEASE INFORMATION

Lebron James latest signature shoe with Nike, his twenty-third mainline model, is scheduled to launch next month on October 3rd, 2025. The debut release celebrates his proprietorship of the 40,000 points club, and includes special packaging and accessories. Pairs of the gilded silhouette will be available through the SNKRS app for $210.
