As every week, the sneaker world was filled with numerous announcements. Between new designs and reinterpretations, there was plenty of action. Details!
KAWS and Jordan, chapter 2?
What if one of the most iconic collaborations of the decade was about to write a new chapter? In 2017, Jordan Brand partnered for the first time with artist Brian Donnelly, aka KAWS, to reinterpret the mythical Air Jordan 4 between art and street culture. Premium suede. Glow-in-the-dark sole. Subtle details bearing the New York artist's signature touch: Brooklyn met Brooklyn. The result? The KAWS x Air Jordan 4 quickly earned its place in the sneaker hall of fame. Eight years later, rumors are picking up again, as a new project between the two partners is reportedly already in the works. Same duo. Same ambition. While the model remains to be confirmed for now, the two partners could well shake up 2025. To be continued!
The Nike Air Max Craze steps out of the shadows... heading to Marseille!
After the Nike Air Max Plus, it is now the Nike Air Max Craze's turn to set up shop in the Mediterranean city of Marseille. Created in 2000 by the Alpha Project division, responsible for technical models like the Presto and the Hyperflight, this design disappeared from the radar and completely faded from the sneaker world. As 2025 promises the reintroduction of the model, the French city is ready to welcome its own exclusive Air Max Craze project. With a stock of 1,013 pairs, the pair should arrive exclusively before the end of summer. Heads up, a hit is on the way!
The Nike Air Force 3 in frequency mode
On the airwaves of the fictional W-AF3 station, a familiar voice resonates: Nigo's. The Japanese icon is back and tunes the Air Force 3 to the FM frequency. For his new collaboration with Nike, the founder of Human Made plays DJ for a day, at the turntables of a custom-built studio. On camera, a puppet version of himself presents his latest creations as if hosting a cult show. On air? Two brand new Nike Air Force 3 Lows: one white and one black. Premium leather. Reptilian textures. Meticulous finishes. Nigo transforms the Air Force 3 into a collector's piece. But beyond the design, it is an entire universe that hits. Every detail tells a story. The vinyl serving as a logo on the tongue. The silver labels on the insoles. The FM vibe, between Japanese punk and New York pirate radio. No doubt, the multi-talented man has struck again. The pairs are set to release on April 24 on Nike SNKRS. Expect to pay 160 euros.
He had already conquered the charts. Now he is taking on sneakers. Justin Bieber officially enters the sneaker world with his first footwear line: SKYLRK. Headlining? A chunky slip-on sandal blending unapologetic comfort with futuristic design. Available in six colorways, the slip-on lays the foundation of a wardrobe where form follows attitude. But that's not all. The pop star also unveiled a second silhouette. Less chill. More structured. Enter a more urban, more assertive construction that already gives a taste of what SKYLRK could become in the months ahead.
