As autumn sets in, October is shaping up to be the month of must-have releases. Whether it's Nike and its Jordan line, Saucony, or Vans, these brands are ready to expand their catalog!
J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Lemonade”
After making waves with the Air Jordan 4 at the Super Bowl earlier this year, J Balvin continues his journey with Jordan. Unveiled last June on the stage of Estadio Azteca during the opening ceremony of the World Cup before the match between Mexico and South Africa, this silhouette is now set to make its official debut. While the shoe features a bright yellow monochrome palette, a crocodile texture adds depth to the overlays, and the reversed emoji, J Balvin's signature visual, makes an appearance in the design. The J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Lemonade” is expected to drop on October 2, 2026.

While Comme des Garçons seems to have given new visibility to the Air Max Dolce, Nike continues to expand its catalog. This month, the sportswear brand is ready to bring back what made it unique in the early 2000s with the arrival of two silhouettes. At first glance, the model retains its complex construction, but the main change lies in its visual treatment. Each silhouette adopts a monochrome hue that highlights every curve of the sneaker. The few touches of black present on certain elements add contrast and further showcase its construction, while the visible Air bubble pays homage to the Air Max range. The two Nike Air Max Dolce WMNS will be available on October 3rd at Nike.

Following a huge success with the New Balance 2000, it seems Aminé and New Balance are more ready than ever to kick things into gear. The project? A New Balance 992 directly inspired by his childhood in Oregon. Named "Outdoor School," this sneaker references the educational program Aminé participated in as a child. Red hue. Brown suede. No doubt, the two partners continue their story by transforming a sixth-grade school experience into a creative concept. The sneaker will be available on October 9 at New Balance.

Some silhouettes make an impact right from their first appearance. The Nike Mind 001 is one of them. Launched at the beginning of the year, this sneaker quickly stood out with its unique approach, blending sporting innovation and mental well-being. After several drops, the sportswear brand is ready to bring the slide back into the spotlight and is keen to maintain the excitement around this silhouette over time. Available in several colorways, the Mind 001 is already expanding its future with the announcement of two new variations on October 15 at Nike. Be quick, though!

After several seasons of collaborations with Jordan, the Houston rapper is back with the first silhouette that kicked off his partnership with Nike in 2017: the Air Force 1. Nine years later, a new colorway is set to open this chapter. Named “Ice Blue”, this new take focuses more on material work rather than a transformation of the silhouette. The sneaker adopts a monochrome approach, featuring an upper entirely covered in embossed ostrich leather in a glacier blue shade that adds depth to the design by Bruce Kilgore. The Travis Scott x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Ice Blue” will be available on October 17 on Nike SNKRS.

After officially announcing their partnership earlier this year, the American artist and the California brand present VANSZA, a first collection inspired by SZA's world and daily life. For this first drop, SZA reworks two Vans classics. The Knu Skool ditches its heel to become the VANSZA Knu Skool Mule, while the Authentic transforms into the Authentic Kickdown. On the latter, the singer draws directly from her way of wearing sneakers, featuring a foldable heel. The sneaker is completed with a deliberately aged canvas and illustrations by Sage Adams. The launch of the VANSZA collection is set for October 22, 2026 on the Vans website.
