Nike continues to stick to its new day, new Dunk flow as the model continues to appear in fresh looks constantly. However, it has been a relatively long while since it last donned corduroy on its upper. Arriving in a color arrangement best geared for spring or summer, the “Pink Corduroy” colorway is one of many recent looks that have opted to differentiate the Dunk with new materials.In typical Dunk Low fashion, a white leather graces the perforated toe box, midfoot panel and heel — matching the stitched midsole, plain tongue and synthetic lining. This time around, its partner in crime is a pastel pink. The spring-flavored hue hits the laces, sockliner, tongue tab and rubber outsole while showing up in corduroy form at the shoe’s overlays, including the embroidered heel tab.As of now, we’ve yet to receive word of a release date for the Nike Dunk Low “Pink Corduroy.” It is currently expected to land on shelves in the upcoming months at a price of $110 USD via Nike and select retailers worldwide.For more of the latest news in the world of footwear, Kevin Durant has revealed his latest signature shoe with the Swoosh — the Nike KD 16 — ahead of his playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Hello Kitty and Friends Arrive on the adidas Forum Bonega
Less than a year ago, Nike presented an Air Presto collaboration with Hello Kitty that featured complementary apparel options. Shortly thereafter, the lovable cat was found on three adidas footwear styles — including the Superstar and Forum Low. Pivoting to the Three Stripes, she has since teamed up with her friends such as Purin and Kiki as a Sanrio makeover touched down on the Stan Smith last month. Now, the platform-soled Forum Bonega bears a Hello Kitty and Friends-themed look.The shoe emphasizes a lovely white, off-white and soft pink color arrangement — beginning with a leather base at the upper. Its colorful overlays favor a mix of leather and a soft synthetic fabric at the midfoot that carries a Hello Kitty and Friends detail. While its white platform sole stands out boldly, the shoe’s most notable feature lands at its lacing system. Attached to the flat white laces, a TPU chain in rose pink carries a Hello Kitty bow charm. Rounding out the look, a pink lining is joined by a character-covered sockliner that spotlights a myriad of Hello Kitty’s Sanrio friends.Currently, the Hello Kitty and Friends x adidas Forum Bonega has launched via select retailers such as atmos where it is priced at ¥15,400 JPY (approx. $115 USD). Stay tuned for an official adidas launch stateside in the coming months. View this post on Instagram A post shared by atmos tokyo official (@atmos_tokyo)Looking for more adidas news?

Kevin Durant Shares a First Look at the Nike KD 16
Heading into this weekend the Phoenix Suns have been busy prepping for their playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers. Beyond this, its two stars — Devin Booker and Kevin Durant — have been participating in some extracurricular work. Earlier this week, Booker launched his first collaborative shoe with Converse, outfitting the Chuck 70 in a blank canvas look. This unexpected team-up came just weeks after rumors of a Nike D Book 1 signature shoe arriving in the spring of 2024. However, he’s not the only one with an upcoming signature launch. Durant has been releasing pairs with the Swoosh for over 15 years now and has just revealed his latest entry in the series — the Nike KD 16.A sole picture of the new kicks was shared via Durant’s Instagram, revealing several key details about the shoe. First, it arrives in a low-cut form similar to its KD 15 predecessor. Its upper’s build utilizes a patterned mesh that rests beneath paneling that involves a ventilated TPU cage at the midfoot. Thick rope laces and a split midsole have been included alongside typical branding elements such as his “KD” logo at the tongue and Swooshes on each side of the heel. Three colorways have been revealed as well, spotlighting a black and purple look, red and white presentation and a flavorful dark blue, magenta and light blue composition.Look for the kicks to be made available later this year and keep an eye out for Durant to show off the shoe more throughout the NBA Playoffs.
