As every week, the sneaker world was filled with numerous announcements. Between new designs and reinterpretations, there was plenty of action. Here are the details.
Drake breathes new life into the Nocta Glide
The Certified Lover Boy hasn't finished surprising us. After the resounding success of his various versions of the Nike Hot Step II, Drake seems to have found inspiration during his stay in Australia. The occasion to discover two new versions of the Nocta Glide. At first glance, both designs opt for tones already seen before: black for one, while the second gets a blend of black and white. As for the silhouette, each pair retains its iconic shape, inherited from the Zoom Flight '95. Patience will be required, however, as the pairs are expected this fall.
Worn, dirtied, loved, the Air Force 1 has never been this clean

With .SWOOSH, the sportswear giant never disappoints when it comes to making an impression. Its latest creation? A duo of Nike Air Force 1 intentionally dirtied. Here, there's no smooth leather or gleaming sole. Each pair opts for a deconstructed construction. The most surprising part? These two Air Force 1s actually become cleaner the more you wear them. A reversed logic, explained on an included card, and reinforced by a toothbrush tucked inside the box, to clean them... or not. Revealed by Brendan Dunne (Complex) and photographed by Andy Dutton, the project is part of a broader initiative led by .SWOOSH: exploring the boundaries of experimental design while questioning our consumption habits. Between bold irony and creative daring, Nike blurs the lines. Available exclusively in the United States on May 7, the "Smoke and Mirrors" pack transforms imperfection into aesthetics and dirt into a creative gamble.
Crocs shines with Swarovski
When comfort meets sparkle, the result can only attract the light. For over 130 years, Swarovski has embodied the crystalline craftsmanship passed down by its founder, Daniel Swarovski. Now, the Austrian brand steps onto unexpected ground: the iconic clogs of Crocs. On the menu: two reimagined models with all the art of shimmer. On one side, the Classic Clog gets a grey tone-on-tone look, set with a TPU cage lined with crystals, while the Bae Clog opts for an all-black clog sprinkled with sparkle. And because every detail counts, both clogs can be customized with floral Jibbitz charms signed by Swarovski. One thing is certain, clogs have never been more ready to shine. The launch of the Swarovski x Crocs collection is planned for next month. Be quick!
A second Fragment x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG in the works!
Fragment and Union aren't done with Jordan. While the Union x Jordan collaboration now spans a vast catalog of Nike and Jordan pairs, its Air Jordan 1 High editions still steal the spotlight from other pairs. And next year, the collaboration could take a new turn, as the high-top will celebrate its fortieth anniversary. The occasion for both collaborators to expand their partnership with Jordan. While a Fragment x Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG "Storm Blue" is already in the works for 2026, Hiroshi Fujiwara was spotted wearing a second version. Patience will be required, however, as the pair has not yet been confirmed by each party.
