Nike's 2025 GORE-TEX Dunks Are Waterproof Heaters

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Morgan Smith |David Fischer

GORE-TEX Nike Dunks? We're so back. Early looks at the "Light Crimson/Infrared" Nike Dunk Low have arrived, revealing a super vibrant red take crafted with waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX materials. Need more proof? In addition to the unmistakable black and yellow tag hanging from the Swoosh, the shoe comes with a GORE-TEX branded toe. The shoe's lining is expected to be the GORE-TEX part, while the upper comes wrapped in slick premium leather shaded in these bright red colors.
In "Sail" Fur, Nike's Air Force 1 Is Beautifully Beastly

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Morgan Smith |David Fischer

Nike's iconic Air Force 1 Low sneaker is a certified beast (in the best way). The latest version sees the low-top legend go completely wild with faux fur uppers. And we're not talking about any fur here. This particular Air Force 1 comes swaddled in "Sail"-colored hair, almost like a Swoosh-branded blonde wig for the feet. The fun doesn't stop there, either.

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Morgan Smith |David Fischer

After getting bathed in pretty spring-worthy pastels, Nike's Air Trainer Huarache sneaker is ready to unleash the beast in "Wolf Grey." Translation? The latest grey sneaker is another goodie. It's a pretty much a grey takeover for the upper, which is wrapped in smooth grey suede-like layers and textured leather. Even the signature mesh strap across the foot gets a grey makeover, officially locking us in for a "Wolf Grey" ride.
This New Balance “Dunk” Comes Straight From the Pre-Internet Skate Era

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Riccardo Zazzini |David Fischer

Bronze56K is taking the New Balance 480 back to the era it came from. However, this time around, it’s a different kind of sneaker. Born in 1983 as a basketball shoe, the New Balance 480 has recently made a resurgence as a skate shoe under the wing of New Balance's skate-focused Numeric line. And Bronze56K’s version of the sneaker is designed as a tribute to the late 20th-century era of skating.
Trust Brain Dead To Turn a Fishing Trip Into a Psychedelic Trip

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Tom Barker |David Fischer

The debut collection from Japanese contemporary outdoorwear label SOUTH2 WEST8 and Los Angeles-based creative collective Brain Dead is a trip. Literally. A cross between a human and a lizard, complete with spotted green skin and gills on the side of its face, models the new collaboration in a campaign. And the clothes are almost equally psychedelic.

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Morgan Smith |David Fischer

Nike's officially in its "craze" era again, having resurrected its insanely techy Air Max sneaker from the early 2000s, the Air Max Craze. After a solid spring debut, the Alpha Project model slips into a clean, summer-appropriate outfit, "White/Metallic Gold."White sneakers are all-year shoes, meaning they can be worn any season. But the summer is truly their time to shine.
It's Not Actually a Boots Only Summer, Is It?

2 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Tom Barker |David Fischer

As with any TikTok-fueled, hashtag-wielding microtrend, I took #bootsonlysummer with a pinch of salt. In the lead-up to summer 2025, the seasonal footwear being peddled by this hashtag is wearing studded football boots (also known as cleats by those who call the sport soccer) as casual everyday footwear. We’re talking baggy jorts with adidas F50s, pairing miniskirts with Predators, and combining jeans with Nike Mercurials.

3 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Morgan Smith |David Fischer

Are there the Samba disciples still with us? If so, good news for the squad. A new Lux edition of the Samba has emerged, thrusting the soocer model into its dress shoe era. The adidas Samba Lux is basically a non-sneaker sneaker, taking the sporty terrace shoe into more dressy territory with formal updates. The adidas Samba Lux sneaker even comes with its own sophisticated tassels kilts like those seen on preppy loafers.

Arc'teryx gets in its bag for its lightest, techiest, and toughest Alpha SL backpack yet. The Canadian master of high-tech outdoor gear recently debuted its all-new Alpha SL 30 backpack crafted from ALUULA Graflyte material, which not only gives the bag this uniquely wrinkly look but makes it light as a feather in weight. The Alpha SL 30 weighs in at just 444 grams, which sounds like a lot, but it's less than a pound, really.
Nike’s Most Hated-on Jordan Sneaker Looks Mighty Clean in Denim

3 days ago | highsnobiety.com | Morgan Smith |David Fischer

"Jeakers," or jean sneakers, season is in full swing for Nike, which has been on a roll with denim-ized shoes lately. And the brand's denim sneakers collection just got bigger, as a jean Jordan 1 Mid joins the group chat. The mid-cut Jordan 1 sneaker gets a lot of hate for its "not quite high-top" appearance, but this particular denim version is very good-looking. For starters, the Jordan shoe comes wrapped in light-wash blue denim panels, while crisp white leather makes up the rest of the upper.
