Jordan Brand is bringing back a beloved Cool Grey from their archives with the Air Jordan 3 Cool Grey. The Cool Grey colorway has been prominently featured on some of Jumpman’s most prolific silhouettes, most notably the Air Jordan 11. Now, for the first time since 2007, the renowned colorway will return to the Jordan 3.
The upper of the Jordan 3 Cool Grey is constructed of a Cool Grey Durabuck with classic Elephant Print mudguards on the toe and heel. Hits of Sport Red and Orange Peel are located on the tongue, eyelets, Air bag, and heel tab. Instead of traditional “Nike Air” branding on the heel, this model stays true to its 2007 rendition and features a Jumpman logo. A white and dark grey sole completes this retro design.
The Air Jordan 3 Cool Grey releases this Saturday, February 20th for $190 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.
Nike Go FlyEase

Through the powers of innovation, engineering, and design, a completely hands-free shoe is finally here with the Nike Go FlyEase. The Go FlyEase is designed to help athletes of all capabilities get into their shoes easier. It features a patent-pending bi-stable hinge and midsole tensioner that allows hands-free access for a snug and secure fit.
The Nike Go FlyEase is constructed of a mesh upper with reinforced seams along the forefoot and heel. Its elastic midsole tensioner surrounds an EVA foam sole that is split at the midfoot to accommodate the contractional motion the sole makes when prepped for entrance. The sole protrudes slightly beyond the heel so that it can be an easy target to step on to unlock the bi-stable hinge when taking off the sneaker.
The Nike Go FlyEase releases via exclusive access to Nike Members this Monday, February 15th for $120 on Nike.com.

Jordan Brand is continuing its “Black Toe” theme with the Air Jordan 1 Silver Toe (W). Arriving in women’s sizing, the Silver Toe adds a new look to Jordan’s ever-growing women’s collection.
The Jordan 1 Silver Toe (W) is a spinoff of the 2018 Jordan 1 High Gold Toe, replacing metallic gold patent leather construction with metallic silver crinkled leather. White and black leather comprise the mid-panel, toe guard, and Swoosh as a nod to other classic Black Toe designs. Nike Air branding on the tongue, an Air Jordan Wings logo on the ankle, and a white/black sole complete the design.
The Air Jordan 1 Silver Toe (W) drops this Friday, February 19th for $170 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.

Stüssy and Nike are teaming up once again to re-issue their first-ever collaboration with the Nike Air Huarache Stüssy Desert Oak. The Air Huarache Desert Oak originally released in 2000 as an in-store exclusive for Stüssy. The collaboration bridged the gap between sportswear labels and retailers, starting a trend that is very prevalent in today’s industry. After almost 21 years, the collab is making a comeback.
The Nike Air Huarache for Stüssy Desert Oak features a shimmering cream textile upper with Desert Oak nubuck overlays on the mid-foot and an olive rubber cage cupping the heel. An elastic heel strap offers extra support and mobility. A cream foam sole with encapsulated Nike Air cushioning wraps up this throwback design.
The Nike Air Huarache Stüssy Desert Oak releases this Thursday, February 18th for $120 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.
Nike Dunk Lows

Nike Dunks have been arriving at a rapid pace over the last year and there are no signs of slowing down. From Highs to Lows, the list of Nike Dunks to come is getting long and we are all for it.
There are three new Dunk Low colorways hitting North America this week. The first, the Nike Dunk Low Medium Grey Varsity Red, is a nod to the original 1985 Nike College Colors Program. The UNLV-inspired colorway was one of the seven original Dunk colorways to release and hasn’t seen a retro since 1999. The second colorway, the Nike Dunk Low Coast (W), is a women’s exclusive release that pays homage to UCLA with its light blue, white, yellow palette. Lastly, the Nike Dunk Low Hyper Cobalt is a brand new colorway that features classic Dunk color-blocking to give it an OG feel.
All three Nike Dunk Low colorways release this Thursday, February 18th for $100 each on the SNKRS app and at select stockists.

In celebration of its 25th Anniversary, Nike will be releasing the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 in its original Freshwater colorway. The Air Griffey Max 1 made its debut in 1996, becoming the first design in Ken Griffey Jr.’s signature collection with Nike. Griffey was known for wearing the White Freshwater colorway in his 1995 season as a cleated version before the trainer even released.
The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 nods to the Seattle Mariners with its white, Fresh Water, black, and red upper. Nike branding and Griffey’s number, 24, are featured on the ankle strap. Fresh Water pull tabs donning the Nike Swoosh are located on both the tongue and the heel. A white midsole with dark teal Air bubbles and a black outsole conclude this throwback release.
The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 returns this Monday, February 15th for $170 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.

Jordan Brand and French professional soccer club Paris Saint-Germain are joining forces once again to collaborate on the Jordan 1 Zoom Air CMFT High. The two entities have made their collaborative efforts consistent since first releasing the Jordan 5 PSG in 2018. Since then, Jordan 6 and Jordan 4 models have been stamped with the PSG insignia, leading to a fresh spin on the Jordan 1.
The Jordan 1 Zoom Air CMFT Paris Saint-Germain features an off-white and black Durabuck upper with a reflective iridescent cut-out Swoosh located on each lateral side. A purple and pink gradient textile wraps the ankle, with a similar gradient filling in the Wings logo on the ankle. An iridescent Jordan PSG motif is placed on the back heel, similar to precious collaborative designs. Raw-cut construction around the ankle exposes its purple foam cushioning. Lastly, a white midsole and black outsole complete the design in traditional Jordan 1 fashion.
The Air Jordan 1 Zoom PSG releases this Wednesday, February 17th for $140 on the SNKRS app and at select stockists.
