Nike Air Trainer Huarache Premium Emerald
Sep 24th
The Nike Huarache platform was one of Nike’s earliest attempts to give athletes exactly what they need to perform and nothing more. Designed under the lens of reduction, and continually improving on that mentality over the years, the minimalist approach inspired a new generation of footwear designers that believe in stripping products to the necessary components for elite performance. Twenty-three years after the debut of the Air Huarache, Nike Sportswear set out to create a cross-training version of the sneaker. The OG colorway of the Nike Air Trainer Huarache features a white leather base with accents in Dark Emerald, Black and Medium Berry throughout, including the berry-colored translucent midfoot strap.
Available in select stores and online Saturday. Check out Release Locator for stores.
Timberland 6″ ‘Susan G Komen’
Sep 23rd
Susan G. Komen is the most widely known cancer organizations in the United States. Founded over 20 years ago, Komen has spent around $ 2 billion on breast cancer education, research, advocacy, health services and social support programs. Timberland teams up with the organization to show their support and raise awareness for the cause. This special edition boot is an immediate eye-catcher while taking the traditional butter silhouette and decking it out in pink waterproof nubuck. The boot is marked by the Susan G. Komen logo on the tongue and hang tag, as well as special insoles. Timberland has pledged $ 5 per boot to Susan G. Komen with a minimum $ 25,000 donation.

Nike KD VII NSW Lifestyle Premium “Hazelnut”
Sep 23rd
The second lifestyle collaboration between Nike and Kevin Durant, the KD VII NSW Lifestyle Premium is certainly an eye-catching shoe with a great silhouette. Debuting in the “Hazelnut” colorway this Friday, the KD VII Lifestyle Premium combines an intricate overlay pattern, premium materials, and varying shades of brown to create a shoe that is street ready. The overall look of the shoe is very much like a Native American moccasin complete with a similarly inspired pattern on the heel tab. The shades of brown on the shoe’s upper and midsole are set off not only by the design on the heel but also the bright mango leather inner lining that peeks around the ankle, even while being worn on foot.
The Nike KD VII NSW Lifestyle Premium “Hazelnut” drops on Friday, September 26, at House of Hoops by Foot Locker and Footlocker.com (starting at 8:00 a.m. EDT) for $ 125. Check out the Launch Locator to see if a store near you will be carrying this release.
Nike LeBron 11 Low ‘China’
Sep 22nd
The Nike LeBron 11 “China” is an evolution of James’ signature shoe: low-cut with a full-length Max Air bag for cushioning and flexibility. The print on the sneaker is reminiscent of a porcelain vase, while the juxtaposition of Hyper Cobalt graphics, Metallic Gold accents, an icy outsole and blue speckles on the heel provide for an interesting combination. This unique release is only here for a short window, so make sure to grab a pair while you can.
Available online only Thursday.
Nike Air Max 90 Denim
Sep 22nd
The Nike Air Max 90 is a timeless running silhouette designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield. Over the years, the sneaker has been re-imagined, redesigned, and remade while consistently keeping the innovative DNA that shook up the industry over two decades ago. This “Denim” edition pushes the bar even higher while playing nice with the design language of the original. Infrared plays a large part in this sneaker while washed denim replaces the typical suede overlays and toecap while the Swoosh is decked out in a snakeskin-like material. What do you think of this unique take of the Air Max 90? Let’s have a dialogue in the comments below.

adidias ZX Flux Black/White
Sep 21st
The adidas ZX Flux has become known for the way it holds prints and there have been some great ones as of late. However, it’s such a great looking silhouette that sometimes it’s best to let the shoe’s design shine and let the colorway take a back seat. That’s exactly what has happened with this Black/White adi ZX Flux, now in stores. A textured black material upper sits on top of an all white midsole with the only pop of color coming from the neon yellow lace slip at the top of the toe box. All of the shoe’s features, including the heel piece and branding, are also cloaked in black.
The adi ZX Flux in black/white is available in stores now for $ 85 and is also available in kids sizes.
Nike Air Max 95 Black
Sep 20th
As far as classics go, the Nike Air Max 95 is right up there with the best of the best. The all black colorway is in stores now and, though the colorway is monotoned, the variety of materials used in it help it to stand out. This Air Max 95, which sits on top of the classic Air Max bubble design – one in the heel and two up front – combines nubuck, tumbled leather, nylon, and mesh in the overlay pattern that has made the 95 a staple in the sneaker game.
The all black Nike Air Max 95 retails for $ 160 and is in stores now.
adidas Originals ZX Flux ‘Triple Black’
Sep 20th
The adidas Originals ZX Flux Triple Black takes on the original ZX Flux silhouette and remixes it with a total blackout treatment. As you might have guessed from the nickname, the shoe combines three different shades of black to create sophistication through a minimalist color palette. The notable silhouette stands strong while flying under the radar on this release.
Hitting stores now. Check out Release Locator for stores.
adidas ZX Flux ‘Monochrome’
Sep 19th
The adidas Originals ZX Flux launches in a new black/white “Monochrome Prism” colorway. The grey-scaled version of the first Flux incorporates many grey, white, and black triangles to cloak the entire upper of the shoe. The previous releases of the ZX Flux have been more colorful and bright, but if you were looking for a more subdued palette—look no further. The pattern is interesting enough to turn heads while not being too loud and over the top.
