There’s already a Space Jam AJ1 Mid SE in the world from this anniversary, but that one’s the big-kids companion piece in the same 30th anniversary series, and the differences matter if you’re shopping for an actual kid. The big kids version hits Foot Locker and Nike.com November 5th at $120, which is real money […]

The Hare Jordan aesthetic is 30 years old this year and Jordan Brand is not letting anyone forget it. We already got the Air Jordan 1 Mid Space Jam Hare treatment for the anniversary, and now there’s a big kids’ Air Jordan 1 Mid in the Hare colorway that honestly deserves attention from adults too, […]

Not content with one R4, Nike recrafted the Shox R4 in Team Red and Black the same week as the triple black pair, and this is the one that’s actually going to have people stopping you in the street. Deep crimson synthetic leather upper, black Shox columns, black sole. It’s loud in the specific way […]

The waterproof Dunk is one of those ideas that sounds like a gimmick until you live somewhere it rains in November. This Gore-Tex Dunk Low in Camo Green, Black Spruce, and Sequoia is the one I’d actually wear through a slog of a commute. Premium leather upper, waterproof membrane, and a sonic yellow swoosh that […]

Nike quietly shipped an Air Force 1 Low that borrows the slimmer 2001 Retro profile and dressed it in a rough green digital camo, and I feel like nobody’s talking about it because the loud Space Jam stuff is eating all the oxygen this month. Their loss. The colorway is officially Multi-Color, Rough Green, and […]

Every couple of years Nike decides we’re emotionally ready for Shox again, and this time they went and recrafted the R4 properly. Triple black, patent leather accents, the four spring columns in the heel, all of it faithful to the 2001 original. When I say faithful I mean it. The design lines, the laser perforations, […]

Okay, so college Air Max colorways are usually a coin flip. Half of them look like a mascot threw up on a decent shoe. The other half, like this Air Max 90 in the Ohio State colorway, actually work. University Red dominates the upper with black overlays and metallic silver hitting the tongue and mesh, […]

The White Infrared Air Jordan 6 returns November 7th in baby and toddler sizing, style code DV3606-105, and if you know the history this one hits different. MJ’s championship game shoe, Tinker Hatfield’s design inspired by his German sports car, and now it comes sized for humans who can’t walk yet. Sneaker culture has officially […]

Everyone’s chasing the flashy Space Jam anniversary pairs and sleeping on the Magic Ball. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE in Magic Ball, style code IX6375-001, drops November 5th for $130, and it’s the pair in the collection I’d actually wear past the first week of November. The colorway reads black at a glance, but […]

Let’s talk about the strangest thing in this whole batch. The WMNS Nike Mind 001 in Pearl Pink, style code HQ4309-610, drops November 5th for $95, and it’s not really a shoe in the traditional sense. It’s a pregame mule with a footbed full of raised nodes that press into your sole as you step. […]

Thirty years of Space Jam celebrations and Lola Bunny is only now getting her own Air Jordan, but the women’s AJ1 Low SE, style code IX6038-100, makes up for the wait. It drops November 5th for $130, and it’s the prettiest shoe in the entire anniversary lineup. The build starts with a white leather base, […]

The centerpiece Air Jordan 1 Mid SE of the Space Jam 30th anniversary lineup lands November 5th. Style code IX6374-001, $140, and it might be the most purely fun design of the whole collection: black base, Action Green, Varsity Royal, and Yellow Zest in a color story that looks like the movie’s energy in shoe […]

Not to be outdone by its big sibling, the Son of Mars Low in Lunar Tunes brings the Space Jam 30th celebration to little kids sizing. Style code IX6379-001, releasing November 5th for $85, and the name alone tells you the vibe: these are for the smallest members of the Tune Squad fandom. The Son […]

The Space Jam 30th anniversary line keeps rolling, and the Jam Central Spizike Low for big kids, style code IX6399-001, might be the smartest buy in the whole collection. It drops November 5th for $130, which undercuts every adult Space Jam release this fall, and the colorway is a proper tribute: black base, Green Strike, […]

The Air Max 95 Big Bubble in Light Bone and Dark Loden is the colorway equivalent of a late fall hike. Style code IQ7128-003, released November 4th at $200, and it’s one of those AM95 builds that reminds you the silhouette was literally inspired by 90s trail running and mountain trails before streetwear got its […]

While the Utility version goes full black boot mode, the women’s Spizike Low in Swan and Purple Smoke, style code IR1836-105, went the exact opposite direction and it might be the prettiest Spizike I’ve seen. Swan white leather base, Light Smoke Grey panels, and Purple Smoke accents that land somewhere between lavender and dusk. Released […]

The Spizike Low Utility in Black and Reflect Silver is the pair I didn’t know I needed until I saw the product shots. Style code IU8042-001, released November 4th at $175. It’s a utility build of the Spizike Low, which means Spike Lee’s mashup shoe got rugged upgrades, and the blackout treatment with Reflect Silver […]

Mid hate is played out, and this Air Jordan 1 Mid SE in Racer Blue and Safety Orange is my evidence. Style code IX8481-406 released November 4th, and the color combo feels like a fall sunset got bottled into a sneaker. Racer Blue on the overlays, black through the base, white midsole, and Safety Orange […]

Nobody talks about the Jordan Heir Series 2 and I think that’s a mistake. This Light Iron Ore colorway, style code HV4417-002, quietly released November 4th and it’s one of the better-looking team basketball shoes in the line right now. Light grey and silver upper with Fire Red accents, built on a silhouette designed with […]

Every few weeks Nike reminds me why the Dunk Low refuses to die. This time it’s the University Red and Medium Grey pair, style code JF8004-657, and honestly, the simplicity is the whole sell. Red leather toe box, grey suede panels, a white heel counter to break it up. That’s it. That’s the shoe. And […]

The College Football Foamposite run continues. We’ve already seen the LSU Tigers pair covered in Bayou stripes, the Ohio State edition in scarlet and grey, and the FSU Garnet and Gold pair that lands on Black Friday. Now TCU gets its turn, and honestly, the Horned Frogs pair might be the boldest of the entire […]

Giannis colorways usually fall into two camps. There’s the loud championship-parade stuff, and then there are the ones with an actual story attached. The Freak 8 Origin Story is the second kind. It dropped November 3 for $120, and it’s quietly one of the more wearable Giannis releases in a minute. Buy This ↑ The […]

I have a soft spot for the weird corner of Nike’s lineup. The boots. Most people walk right past that section of the app, and honestly that’s fair, but every so often Nike quietly updates something with real teeth and nobody notices. That’s exactly what happened with the Air Max Goadome TecTuff, which dropped November […]

There is a second 983 dropping on the first of November and I think the quieter one might be the smarter buy. The New Balance 983 “Bayberry Concrete” is exactly what the name says, soft bayberry green over concrete grey on the brand’s new Y2K runner. U9834L5, 159.99 dollars, same day as the Cherry so […]

New Balance launched the 983 this fall as its next big lifestyle model, and the “Cherry” colorway might be the best argument for it so far. Cherry Leather over Dark Night, glossy burgundy panels sitting on top of the chunkiest retro runner sole New Balance has shipped in a minute. It hits newbalance.com and select […]
