As if 2025 couldn’t get crazier, Nike and Tom Sachs officially dropped the Mars Yard 3.0, the third iteration of the NikeCraft outer space inspired sneaker. This pair retains the soul of the first two in the familiar colour scheme but adopts some upgrades including added overlays for durability and a carbon fibre shank plate. Watch my video for a complete breakdown of one of the biggest sneakers of the year!
Releasing just before the end of 2023, Nike released these women’s Dunk Lows, unofficially inspired by the iconic Air Max 90 “Bacon”. Crafted with elevated materials like tumbled leather and genuine nubucks, these mirror the colours of the famous Air Max 90 in a mix of sail, sport red, pink and brown. Check out my review to get a closer look and to see how they are on feet!
This 2004 Japan-exclusive Air Max 1 is back, with a twist. The “Urawa” colourway pays homage to J League football club, the Urawa Dragons (or Red Diamonds). Releasing originally nearly two decades ago, Nike has brought them back with a reworked colourway, featuring black mesh, and grey and white overlays ontop. Check out my review to learn more!
Taking us back to 1986, Nike is set to launch this Air Max 1 that pays homage to the originals which featured a larger Air bubble, chunkier midsole, and a different looking upper. Back in the 80s, the original pairs were recalled and redesigned / relaunched with the smaller Air unit that we know today, but this retro is a nod to one of the best little known stories surrounding the iconic Air Max lineage ever told.

One of the more anticipated drops of Nike’s 2018 Air Max Month was the re-tooled Atmos Air Max 1 “Animal Pack”. Eleven years after the original release, these released once again with slight variations (but still holding true to the essence of the original), and sold out instantly. Check out my review and on-feet look of this iconic colorway!
