Shox RE SE Fade
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: A Club Night classic, this new take on the 2001 model still feels futuristic in 2026. Built with a 2000s tech-runner edge, while the circular Waffle outsole grounds it back in the everyday. Simply, it's retro-futurism you can wear to the gym or the club, no changes required.
G.T. Cut 3 "EYBL"
Release Date: July 7
Editor's Notes: It's a full court press with the GT Cut 3 "EYBL", with a futuristic moulded purple of uppers and an a-symmetric wave to the mid-sole, Nike stakes its claim to the futuristic basketball sneakers. Packed full of cutting edge on the court tech, the EYBL feels like its first of many sneakers futuristic offerings, for ballers and fashion-heads alike.
Nike Phantom 6 Low Academy
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: It goes without saying that football and fashion have become inseparable over the last year, and the Nike Phantom Low Academy is no exception. For the un-initiated, the return of the T-90 felt like a call to action to bring the world of the indoor football trainers off the pitch. Distinctly low profile, with a bold highlight, Phantom seems a fitting for this stealth staple.
Nike Air Force 1 'O7 LV8
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: You can always rely on Nike to level up a throwback. Reaching back to the Hey-Day of MTV Music Videos, this Royal Blue and White colorway feels equally at home in 2006 as 2026. Small details like the rare Diamond back logo, and black trim on the vamping elevate this staple, leveling up the design to the timeless '07 Air Force One.
Nike Air Max 90
Release Date: Available Now
Editor's Notes: The shoe to launch a British remake of clueless? Once again, Nike uses a classic silhouette to bridge two seemingly distant worlds. Rarely do we get a plaid pop on a seemingly timeless classic, but this take on the Air Max 90 feels like a future icon.
Nike LeBron XXVIII
Release Date: July 7
Editor's Notes: For those that know, this colorway first burst on to the scene in 2009. The bold primary colors channel his playful off-the-court attitude, but paired with the technical specs of 2026, this reimagining of a classic epitomizes LeBron's playful energy, rooted in his timeless skill.
Nike Air Force 1 Low Retro
Release Date: July 8
Editor's Notes: Nike's love-affair with denim has been nothing short of a match-made in heaven. This coastal blue and black Air Force One, mixes the hard-wearing texture with a gloss finish for the perfect balance. Whether at a beach club, or hitting the streets this versatile take on a classic, is the best way to fit denim into any summer outfit.
