Throughout the New Balance 1000’s renewed stint on shelves, the Boston brand hasn’t been shy about experimenting with different materials. There’s no true “normal” for the retro stability runner, but a constantly rotating window of different leather, mesh, and suede types. In toying with the model once again, New Balance is now set to release a new style featuring some key paneling changes.

Given their comparable layering and shared roots in 1980s basketball, the Nike Dunk and Air Force 1 are probably the two most commonly-bundled sneakers in the entire Nike catalog. The latest “pack” by the Beaverton brand is distinguished by crochet Swooshes and Aztec-style detailing, now presented on this Dunk Low for women ahead of the Fall 2025 shopping window.

Following a Team Bank Kobe 8 spread last year, the Beaverton brand is naturally progressing with team-friendly colorways of the Kobe 9 EM Protro in 2025. As we approach the cusp of the Fall 2025 shopping season, official images of the five colorways on tap are beginning to surface. Here we have the “White/Court Purple” Kobe 9; a versatile yet still Lakers-inspired take on the Mamba’s ninth signature.

With an NBA champ crowned, it’s now time to take a short break and get back into the lab to refine and tune the game for the 2025-2026 season. Assisting in this journey of discipline is the Kobe Brand and its latest offering of the Kobe Team Bank series this Fall 2025 season. With the Kobe 9 EM Protro now in the fold thanks to the special Mambacita release back in May, Nike has chosen the model as one of its focuses as it heads into the latter half of 2025 and into 2026.

The adidas Anthony Edwards 2 is handily the most high-anticipated second signature basketball model in recent memory, and for good reason. The Three Stripes struck gold with Ant’s first signature – a consensus SOTY pick in 2024 – due in no small part to clever marketing and the sheer likability of the Timberwolves star himself. As we patiently wait for the AE2 rollout to begin later this year, we’re starting to learn of release dates for some of the colorways we’ve been tracking thus far.

Stray Rats might not have a broad footwear portfolio compared to other big names in streetwear, but the Miami imprint’s strong line of New Balance projects (and 2020 capsule with Vans) has been enough to make an impression. As we approach nearly two years since the last Stray Rats collaboration, the brand is getting back into the footwear game with two Crocs Classic Clogs for June 2025.

The return of the big Swoosh on the Air Jordan 1 Low OG means that the “modern” cut is now lower on sneakerheads’ radar, not that it really measured up to begin with in all honesty. While recent weeks have seen the emergence of several imaginative pairs, including a Grade School edition that comes with an eraser, this newly-uncovered GR stands as a more low-key option for the warmer months.

Nike has long been one to blur the lines between its sub-brands, be it through full-fledged crossovers like the upcoming Nike SB Air Max 95 or mere colorways that remind us of different genres. This upcoming Air Force 1 Low falls in the latter category, saddled with a playful aesthetic reminiscent of early-stage Nike ACG footwear.
