After retro running, it's time for active relaxation. Seventeen years after its creation, the Nike Rejuven8 Run OG is making a big comeback. Originally launched by Nike during the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the Rejuven8 was designed to meet athletes' recovery needs. Inspired by several iconic models, including the Air Presto, the Air Kukini, and the Nike Zvezdochka, its design stood out with its modular concept: a perforated shell and interchangeable booties. This month, the Rejuven8 is dropping two monochrome silhouettes (one red, the other beige) that stay true to its DNA. Check it out on May 1st at Nike for €130 each model.

After rolling out multiple projects around the Nike Air Force 3, the Swoosh brand teams up again with Nigo to give a fresh take on a classic from its catalog: the Nike Air Force 1 Low. The duo continues their creative dialogue around Bruce Kilgore's design with a collaboration envisioned over multiple seasons, where the Air Force 1 serves as the starting point for a more personal narrative. The goal? To dive back into a more intimate imagination, inspired by the history of the Japanese creator and his early influences. In the 90s, Nigo and Jun Takashi published a now-iconic magazine column: LO2. The first model incorporates subtle visual elements from cult classics. In terms of design, Nigo and Nike reveal a base inspired by an OG version of the Air Force 1 Low, recognizable by its cut and slimmer structure compared to current iterations. This choice enhances the retro vibe of the project. But that's not all. The duo gives a nod to Nigo's visual experiments from the early days of his career with a patent leather upper. The Nigo x Nike Air Force 1 Low will be unveiled on May 1st at the Design Museum in London, during the exhibition “NIGO: From Japan With Love”. The global release will follow the next day, available on humanmade.jp as well as at Undercover Aoyama.

This month, Jordan is set to revitalize its lineup with a release that first dropped in 2013: the Air Jordan 4 “Toro Bravo”, which quickly became a must-have among the non-OG colorways of the fourth signature shoe from Jordan. Its bold red, inspired by both bull imagery and the DNA of the Chicago Bulls, marked a sharp departure from the more subdued palettes typically seen in the AJ4. In just a few years, this colorway has become one of the most recognizable in the Air Jordan range. For 2026, the formula remains the same: a faithful reproduction of the original, focusing on continuity rather than reinvention. Bright red nubuck. Black details. No doubt, Jordan Brand delivers a design that roots the silhouette in its heritage. The release is set for May 2, 2026. Expect to pay €210.

When the snow melts and the first buds start to appear, some brands choose to simply follow the season. Others, like Salomon, decide to reinterpret it. This month, the French brand offers a fresh take on alpine spring with its Salomon XT Whisper. Designed for long-distance trail running, this sneaker remains one of the most recognizable models from the brand. High-performance sole. Stable structure. Quick-lacing system. No doubt, this sneaker retains all its technical construction. However, a pink hue softens its utilitarian look without altering its essence. The release of this sneaker is set for May 4th on Salomon at a price of €160.

Nigel Sylvester is back. The New York rider finally reveals his next silhouette in collaboration with the Jordan brand, a sneaker that's more understated than the Air Jordan 4 “Brick by Brick”. Gone is the bright red; instead, we have a more nuanced palette, featuring a base dominated by off-white, a gray sole, and subtly placed red accents that echo the Jordan 4 “Fire Red”. While this new design opts for a more discreet aesthetic, it doesn't shy away from the narrative depth that characterizes Sylvester's work. Where the “Brick by Brick” celebrated resilience and personal elevation (two key values in his journey), this Air Jordan 4 seems to want to maintain that energy while exploring a more refined direction. The design fits within the OG codes while asserting a strong identity that respects the brand's traditions. The sneaker is set to drop on May 9. Mark your calendars!

After the release of the Air Jordan 1 “High Alaska” from the Jordan branch, another design is keeping the discussions alive: the potential Air Force 1 Low “Sesame”. A sneaker that, for now, only exists in rumors and has received no official confirmation. Driven by the legacy of Virgil Abloh, this Air Force 1 Low continues the reinterpretations of his archives. And for good reason, the sneaker plays with contrasts and materials featuring a clean palette dominated by smooth beige leather. The panels alternate between textures, combining smooth leather and more industrial surfaces, while the construction retains its iconic details. Exposed stitching, deconstructed elements, zip-tie: each feature has become an inseparable tool of Abloh. A release date is rumored around May 26. Mark your calendars!
