New Balance 1906 Loafer Arrives

Junya Watanabe sparked buzz in January by unveiling a unique twist on New Balance's iconic lifestyle shoe, the 1906R. This unconventional loafer version has ignited discussions across social media platforms, blending retro running elements with refined footwear aesthetics.

While the 1906L may not appeal to the masses like its predecessor, it has the potential to become a cult favorite within techwear and avant-garde fashion circles upon its release later this year. Featuring a sleek "Silver" colorway with reflective leather accents, the 1906L campaign continues to gain momentum.

The loafer silhouette of the 1906L sees the top portion of the 1906R removed, replaced by a silver panel and wrap-around lining at the collar. Despite this radical redesign, the shoe maintains its utility-focused overlays and sole, offering a blend of familiarity and innovation.

With a grey base, reflective accents, and an off-white midsole, the 1906L's colorway adds a touch of versatility to the lineup. Keep an eye out for updates on its release, expected to hit shelves in Fall 2024 alongside other Junya Watanabe collaborations. Check back for official retailer images and Sneaker Release Dates to stay informed.

Nike Nearing Endorsement Deal with Basketball Sensation Caitlin Clark, Sources Say

According to TheAthletic

Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark — the No. 1 pick in Monday’s WNBA draft — is nearing a lucrative, eight-figure endorsement deal with Nike, industry sources tell The Athletic.

Clark is expected to receive a signature Nike shoe as well, those sources said. Under Armour and Adidas also made sizable offers to Clark, two industry sources said.

Clark’s previous deal with Nike ended after the conclusion of the recently finished college basketball season, which allowed her to hit the market at the peak of her popularity. Clark was a supernova at the University of Iowa, breaking records and bringing new fans to college basketball. The women’s NCAA Tournament set viewership records with every game in which Iowa played, culminating in 18.9 million viewers for the Hawkeyes’ national title game loss to South Carolina.

The Fever drafted the 22-year-old Clark first overall in Monday’s draft. Interest in the draft was at an all-time high, and it also set viewership records, with more than four times as many viewers for this year’s draft (2.4 million) compared to last year, blowing away the previous record for the most-watched WNBA draft, set in 2004.

Clark was expected to land one of the most lucrative sneaker deals in the WNBA as sponsors have flocked to her in recent months and showed their desire to be in the Caitlin Clark business. She already has endorsement deals with Gatorade, State Farm and Panini.

Golden State’s Stephen Curry – who launched Curry Brand as a signature, standalone venture with Under Armour – participated in the companies‘ meeting with Clark, industry sources said. Curry Brand signed Kings star De’Aaron Fox as its first NBA athlete late last year, and inked University of South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley to a multiyear NIL deal, making her the first college athlete to partner directly with the company.

The last week showed just how in-demand and mainstream Clark has become. She made a guest appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Then, WNBA draft ratings spiked. Fanatics said her jersey was the top seller for any draft pick on draft night in the company’s history. Ticket interest has also continued to surge.

At her post-draft news conference, Clark said turning professional hasn’t had a significant impact on how she is conducting any off-court business.

“If I’m being completely honest, I feel like it doesn’t change a ton from how I lived my life over the course of the last year,” she said. “Sponsorships stay the same. The people around me, agents and whatnot, have been able to help me and guide me through the course of the last year. I don’t know if I would be in this moment if it wasn’t for a lot of them.”

Let's go Caitlin!

Air Jordan 1 Hi '85 'Bred' Set for 2025 Release

Jordan Brand has announced the highly anticipated return of the iconic Air Jordan 1 "Bred" in its original Hi '85 form, set to release in 2025. The news, initially reported by Sneaker Files and zsneakerheadz, comes at a time when interest in the model has waned. Once the hottest shoe in the Air Jordan lineup, the Air Jordan 1 has seen a decline in popularity as consumer preferences shift towards technical running footwear, resulting in oversupply and diminished demand.

However, in what appears to be a nod to the model's 40th anniversary, Jordan Brand is bringing back the classic silhouette. The Air Jordan 1 Hi '85 is renowned as the brand's most faithful recreation of the original model, following the success of its "Lost & Found" colorway in 2022, a variation of the OG Air Jordan 1 "Chicago."

Named for its black and red color scheme, this iteration of the "Bred" will feature a full leather construction, a departure from its 2016 retro release, which included a "Satin" version in 2023 and a patent leather edition in 2021. The re-release is expected to forgo the artificially-aged detailing seen on the "Lost & Found" edition.

While an exact release date and pricing details have yet to be disclosed, enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates.

Fernando Tatís Jr. Pays Tribute to Jackie Robinson with "Never Let Them Know"

Fernando Tatís Jr. is set to unveil the ninth installment of his exclusive custom cleat series on April 15, 2024, as the Padres take on the Brewers in Milwaukee. This special edition cleat honors the legendary Jackie Robinson, the pioneer who broke Major League Baseball's color barrier as the first African American professional player.

Titled "NEVER LET THEM KNOW IT," the cleat commemorates Robinson's resilience in the face of adversity. The quote, attributed to Robinson himself, reflects his determination to remain composed despite experiencing racial taunts during his groundbreaking debut season. The cleat features a design that pays homage to Robinson's iconic career, incorporating elements such as black and white pinstripe fabric, brown coffee-dyed leather, and images of Robinson adorning the Nike swoosh.

Robinson's signature and iconic number 42 are prominently displayed on the outer shoe, accompanied by custom hang tags bearing the poignant phrase, "Never Let Them Know It," alongside Tatís Jr.'s personal logo. Crafted using a combination of paint and laser engraving techniques, the cleats also feature leather lace ties embellished with etched engravings of Robinson and the XAMPLE logo on the tongues.

Since 1997, Major League Baseball has retired Robinson's number 42 across all teams, a testament to his enduring legacy. Additionally, in 2004, the league introduced "Jackie Robinson Day," where players from every MLB team don the number 42 to honor his contributions to the sport and civil rights.

Cleat 9 of 50 in Tatís Jr.'s exclusive collection was conceptualized by XAMPLE's CEO & Founder, Nick Drbal, and expertly crafted by SURGEON, showcasing a deep appreciation for Robinson's impact on baseball and society as a whole.

Jordan Brand Luka 3 Midnight Racer

Introducing the Luka 3: Designed to elevate your game to new heights with every step. Crafted with precision and inspired by the dynamic playstyle of Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić, these shoes are engineered for maximum separation from defenders.

At the heart of the Luka 3 is the evolution of Isoplate technology, tailored specifically for Dončić. By widening the lateral outrigger and strategically removing sections of the plate’s sidewall, we've reduced weight without compromising on stability. The full-length Cushlon 3.0 foam ensures a smooth heel-to-toe transition, perfect for accelerating out of off-speed transitions on the court.

Designed to empower players with lateral and diagonal movements, the Isoplate provides torsional rigidity to keep you locked in over the footbed. Cutouts along the lateral toebox offer flexibility on aggressive cuts, while maintaining containment.

Drawing inspiration from Dončić's passion for high-performance sports cars, the Luka 3 embodies the essence of elite automotive engineering. Just like a top-tier car, these shoes provide the motor for forward propulsion and the chassis for control and agility. The outsole's generative herringbone pattern is inspired by racing-tire traction, ensuring unrivaled grip on the court.

Every detail of the Luka 3 is meticulously crafted for performance and sustainability. From the pull tabs modeled after seat belts to the wavy striations on the engineered textile upper, each element is inspired by the high speeds of elite sports cars. Plus, with a Tier-2 sustainability score, every Luka 3 colorway is made with at least 20 percent recycled material by weight.

Get ready to experience the next level of performance with the Luka 3. Available in the Midnight Racer colorway in Europe on July 5 and globally in the Photo Finish colorway on July 16.

Nike continues to push the boundaries of athletic performance with the introduction of the Nike Pegasus Premium, showcasing the brand's first-ever sculpted, visible Air Zoom unit. This latest innovation represents a leap forward in cushioning technology, optimizing the Nike Air platform to deliver an unparalleled running experience.

Combined with the sculpted Air Zoom unit, the Pegasus Premium offers runners the highest energy return ever seen in the Pegasus franchise.

For Kathy Gomez, Nike VP NXT Footwear, the significance of the Pegasus Premium goes beyond technological advancements; it represents accessibility for all runners to world-class cushioning systems and a fresh perspective on Air Zoom technology.

"At Nike, Air is our differentiator in the footwear industry," says Gomez. "With the Pegasus Premium, we wanted to maximize energy return from the sculpted Air Zoom unit while ensuring it engages with every foot, regardless of gait pattern or stride length."

Nike's multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, and scientists collaborated to create an entirely new underfoot Air sensation for runners. Utilizing digital capabilities such as finite element analysis, the sculpted Air unit was rigorously tested to withstand the rigors of running.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Set to Sport Custom Cleats Paying Tribute to His Father, Fernando Tatis Sr.

On April 12, 2024, during the Padres' matchup against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Fernando Tatís Jr. will debut the eighth installment of his exclusive custom cleat series. This particular cleat, titled "In The Blood," pays homage to his father, Fernando Tatís Sr., who made his mark during his 11-season career with the Rangers, Cardinals, Expos, Orioles, and Mets.

"In The Blood" is more than just footwear; it's a visual narrative of the father-son bond and their shared baseball legacy. Drawing inspiration from iconic moments like the Paris Jordan, the cleat showcases pivotal snapshots from both Tatís Sr. and Jr.'s MLB careers.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the cleats feature a blend of tan suede and leather, complemented by specialty-colored leathers such as metallic gold and red. Emblazoned on the cleats is a poignant quote from an announcer during one of Fernando Tatís Sr.'s historic moments: "There It Is Folks - Baseball History." This phrase immortalizes Tatís Sr.'s incredible feat of hitting two grand slams in a single inning against the Dodgers on April 23, 1999.

Remarkably, Fernando Tatís Jr. followed in his father's footsteps on the same day in 2021 at Dodger Stadium, hitting two home runs of his own. This synchronicity adds another layer of significance to the cleat's design and the legacy it represents.

Conceptualized by XAMPLE's CEO & Founder, Nick Drbal, and expertly crafted by SURGEON, Cleat 8 of 50 in Tatís Jr.'s season-long collection is a testament to the enduring bond between father and son, immortalized in leather and lace.
