Nike adjusts the pace (and the prices)
Keep an eye on price tags starting in June. According to a press release sent to Complex, the Swoosh plans to apply a selective price increase on part of its catalog. A decision that may echo recent economic tensions, between rising customs duties and production largely outsourced to Asia. With over 95% of production based in Vietnam, China, or Indonesia, the sportswear giant's pairs are bearing the full brunt of the new American trade policy. No need to panic: the Air Force 1 will keep its current price. Same goes for GS models and designs under $100. For new releases and premium lines, the price could go up by $2 to $10. While adidas had already led the way in May with a similar adjustment, Nike is choosing a more selective approach, leaving some uncertainty around the fate of the Air Jordan line, notably absent from the press release. Stay tuned.
Quai 54 sets the stage... and the sneakers
16 elite teams. 15 high-level games. 1 supreme title. The world's biggest streetball tournament returns to Paris on July 5 and 6, 2025: Quai 54. Known for bringing together the global basketball elite, the event has established itself as a must-attend gathering every year. For its 22nd edition, Quai 54 returns to its venue of choice: the Simone-Mathieu court at Roland-Garros. But that's not all: Jordan will once again be the official sponsor of the event. A long-standing collaboration that has cemented Quai 54's status as the ultimate streetball tournament. On the program: special editions from the line such as the Jordan Luka Quai 54 and the Jordan Flight Court. As for the first signature model, the Air Jordan 1 Low gets two designs in suede and leather, enhanced with black, yellow, and red details. Naturally, Quai 54 co-branding will be featured on the heeltab.
Levi's and Jordan bring back the canvas in 2026
Levi's and Jordan are far from done. In 2026, the duo brings back raw canvas for not one, not two, but a trilogy of Air Jordan 3. The theme? Denim everywhere. Jordan's third signature shoe promises three premium denim versions with visible Levi's stitching and, of course, the iconic red tab. A nod to purists, a call to nostalgia, and above all a long-awaited return after eight years. While the AJ3s are still at the mock-up stage for now, the collaboration between the two partners could well come with a full apparel collection. One thing is certain: denim is no longer limited to jeans in 2026...
Tyler the Creator resurrects two forgotten Converse icons
When Tyler the Creator digs into the Converse archives, he rarely does things halfway. As part of the 1908 program, the brand is ready to bring back two of its 1970s models. The result? Two former running shoes reworked with the Golf le Fleur touch, where archival nostalgia and bold eccentricity meet without restraint. On one side, the Coach Jogger. Designed for track and field in 1976, this former Olympic runner is reinterpreted for the streets. Nylon. Suede. Clean silhouette. No doubt about it, the old-school runner gets a 2.0 refresh. On the other, the Naut-1, somewhere between a boat shoe and a skate shoe. The upper draws from classic moccasin lines while adopting a more urban sole. Both pairs will be available worldwide starting June 20, 2025. For those who can't wait, an exclusive release is scheduled for June 12 in Los Angeles, at a dedicated pop-up store.
