Nike SB has retooled the Air Max 95, adding skate specific features as part of this legendary shape's 30th anniversary. Following the wildly popular "Neon" debut, the Nike SB Air Max 95 "Summit White Cactus Flower" takes centre stage with an autumn ready colour palette, giving skaters a solid option for the season.

This Air Max 95 shows off a greyscale scheme on its wavy panels, creating a clean gradient that mimics natural erosion. Bright purple accents bring the embroidered Swooshes on the lateral rear to life, matching the nylon lace loops, mesh tongue, and heel label. A strengthened toe box keeps your kicks tough, built to resist scuffs and scrapes you pick up from hours skating at the park. The clean white PU midsole features a slimmer profile to keep your foot closer to the ground, supported by bright purple Air units that provide superb cushioning and impact protection. A durable gum sole sits underneath, offering excellent grip and optimal flexibility.

Los Angeles based premium trainer boutique UNDEFEATED and Jordan Brand joined forces back in 2005 to create the super limited UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 Olive Black, which only came out via an in store raffle. Most trainer enthusiasts see the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 2025 as a true holy grail, so Nike bringing back this icon will certainly cause a stir across the community.

This "Nike Air" back panel version will be the more available retro, but do not be fooled, as quantities will be incredibly low. This Air Jordan 4 features an all suede upper, dressed in the signature MA-1 jacket inspired Olive colour. The oversized black tongue with orange lining boasts a removable Velcro orange Jumpman branded tongue tab. The iconic Air Jordan 4 netting and plastic weight reducing eyelet "wings" are all black, matching the laces. The shoe finishes with an off white midsole that exposes an Air unit, sitting atop a black rubber outsole.

Harking back to the 1993 NBA All-Star Game, the Air Jordan 8 "Aqua" returns in 2025 to mark the franchise’s 40th anniversary. Despite Michael Jordan never lacing up this particular colourway during official games, it has endured as a standout in the collection. People adore its unique blend of hues, which perfectly mirror the Eastern Conference All-Star Game jerseys. This edition marks its fourth release since its last appearance in 2015, adding to the essential pairs on Jordan Brand’s launch calendar.

This eye catching Air Jordan 8 "Aqua" features a black nubuck upper with dark grey suede layers on the eyestay, collar, and rear. Purple and blue shades bring the abstract art graphics on the sidewalls and sockliner to life, complementing the shimmering textures on the sculpted polyurethane foam midsole. Plush chenille fabrics make up the multicoloured Jumpman logo on the tongue, while subtle "23" and "Air Jordan" labels honour Mike’s legacy. The heel inner bootie and clever cross straps keep your foot secure and steady. Nike Air units in the forefoot and heel deliver responsive cushioning, supported by a segmented rubber outsole with dimpled traction patterns.

The Nike Air Rift "Metallic Silver" blurs the line between trainer and sandal with its forward thinking look. A smooth silver leather upper sets the tone, finished with black trim and dual hook and loop straps for that custom fit. The split toe design adds extra stability while referencing the Air Rift’s original barefoot running origins.

Balancing the feel of an early Y2K archive piece with a striking, modern silver make up, this pair would fit right in next to the debut Air Max Muse colourway. This women’s exclusive features chrome uppers and exposed black stitching by the Tabi like toebox and panels. The uppers’ silver fades to black as neoprene fabric reaches the heel. Branding appears on the toebox, midsole, insoles, and back strap, offering a mix of embroidered Swooshes and Nike insignias. The model then sits on a black midsole and rubber outsole, while two Velcro straps across the midfoot and heel ensure a snug fit.

The Vomero Plus takes everything we liked about the Vomero 18 and steps it up a notch. It packs a full ZoomX midsole, giving you an even softer, lighter, and more responsive sensation underfoot. Think of it as a plush sofa for your feet, ready to absorb the impact of those long runs. Nike even consulted with women athletes, including the Project Dreamweaver runners, to truly nail the fit and feel here, making sure it works for everyone from seasoned marathoners to those just starting their running journey.

Conner Mantz, who won the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, says the Vomero Plus "helps motivate me to get out the door and keeps me feeling smooth for my everyday runs." He also points out how the cushioning "saves the pounding of my legs hitting the ground." And Jess Hull, a 2024 Olympic silver medallist, sees it as a fantastic "introductory shoe for a smooth, responsive and well cushioned ride at a wide range of paces." Along with the Black Bright Crimson, Nike will release a few other colourways on 7th August, such as the Vomero Plus Sunset.

Multi talented musician and luxury fashion designer Pharrell Williams takes the spotlight as he officially unveils his latest adidas trainer. Presenting a chunky take on the cult classic Adistar Cushion, the Pharrell x adidas Jellyfish "Virginia Orange" reimagines Y2K elements with its beefed up design. This Three Stripes collaboration draws more attention to the award winning singer, who has been one of the hot topics in streetwear after taking the reins as Louis Vuitton’s creative director.

This trainer boasts an off white and grey textile upper, accented with vibrant orange and beige TPU overlays that give a nod to the flowing form of jellyfish tentacles. Stealthy black Three Stripes stand out on the lateral and medial quarter, while the sturdy panels on the eyestays and synthetic layers on the toe cap strengthen the silhouette’s exaggerated proportions. The generous padding within the lining and collar gives you a supremely soft, cushioned feel, like a pillow for your ankles. The tongue and sockliner feature the Badge of Sport logo alongside a unique Jellyfish branding and "Virginia" label as a nod to Pharrell’s hometown. The substantial midsole offers elevated comfort from heel to toe, reinforced with a sturdy shank plate on the midfoot for stability.

The Oasis reunion tour is causing a stir, and it's not just the music getting people talking. adidas is reissuing the classic Achille silhouette for the first time, bringing it back as the LG Achille SPZL within its Spezial collection. Collectors have long yearned for the return of the Achille, which first appeared in 1977 and saw subsequent releases in the late 90s.

Nike keeps the pastel momentum going with the Air Max 95 Big Bubble "Blue Tint," a subtle standout ready for late summer rotations. Tapping into the early 2000s and referencing the 2019 "Aluminium" colourway, this edition pairs soft tones with prominent tech to keep the silhouette current.

The signature layered upper blends suede and mesh in a smooth gradient from light grey to baby blue, complemented by icy "Blue Tint" details on the lace loops, tongue overlay, and mesh panels. A mini embroidered Swoosh hits the heel, while the crisp white lining adds to the clean, refreshing appearance. Underfoot, Nike brings back its classic Big Bubble Air unit, originally put away in the ‘90s but now a fan favourite retro update offering both comfort and heritage.

Black accents across the midsole, eyestays, and outsole give the soft colour palette some welcome sharpness, making this a perfect fusion of past and present.

Solidifying his status as one of Jordan Brand’s most anticipated collaborators, Nigel Sylvester returns with an all new Air Jordan 1 Low OG. This collaboration marks a full circle moment for the BMX legend who started his first partnership with the sportswear giant with a pre distressed Air Jordan 1 High in 2014. Paying tribute to the high octane stunts and aerial feats of BMX, the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Nitro Better With Time" accelerates onto the scene, offering a top quality interpretation of the classic basketball trainer.

This limited release colourway, also known as the "Nitro," uses a beige muslin leather base contrasted by jet black overlays. Its colour arrangement echoes the exclusive Friends and Family edition from 2022, which marked the launch of Nigel's first book. Large Swooshes stretch across the quarter, mimicking the original 1985 design. Vibrant varsity red touches add a spark to the tiny Swoosh on the lateral forefoot, tying in with the woven Nike Air on the nylon tongue and the signature Wings logo at the back. Encapsulated Air cushioning in the heel provides ample comfort that improves the more you wear the shoe. A tough rubber cupsole gives you superb grip, making it ideal for everyday wear.

Ready to perform on the biggest stage, the Rosé x PUMA Speedcat Premium "Black" brings balletcore to the silhouette’s motorsports design. This collaborative trainer celebrates the successful launch of Rosie, the first solo studio album of BLACKPINK member and K pop icon Rosé, who has also served as a PUMA brand ambassador since 2024.

This Speedcat Premium wears a black leather upper with a contrasting white Formstrip on the sides.

An embroidered cat logo adorns the toe and heel, while a subtle PUMA label decorates the tongue and quarter.
