Update: Following an early look at the Jordan MVP “Black Royal,” it has been officially revealed by Nike. As of now, no release information has been shared yet other than its $165 USD price point. Stay tuned for more details and check out our initial breakdown below.Original Story: The Jordan Brand has revealed its newest hybrid model which combines elements from some of the most classic Air Jordan silhouettes. Named, Jordan MVP, the shoe takes on design notes from the Air Jordan 6, 7 and 8, all of which were concocted and designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield. These iconic silhouettes were the shoes NBA legend Michael Jordan wore in his first three-peat between 1991 to 1993 with championship victories over the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns.Paying homage to Jordan’s major feat, the Jordan MVP receives a first official look at the “Black Royal” colorway. The shoe comes dressed in a clean black, white, varsity royal, muslin and iron grey color scheme. Jordan’s newest silhouette is also constructed out of black nubuck material for the upper. Royal blue contrasting accents are seen throughout the shoe including the medial panel, inner lining, heel branding and midsole. Other details give a nod to the three Air Jordans the shoe takes inspiration from, from the TPU paint strokes, tongues, midsoles and the icy translucent outsole.Look out for the Jordan MVP “Black Royal” coming later this year at select retailers and on Nike for $165 USD.In other footwear news, gear up for the summer in a newly surfaced “Pistachio Frost” colorway for the Jordan Hex Mule slides.

Silhouettes like the Dunk and Air Force 1 are continuing to show out in strong numbers this year, but one can argue that when it comes to Nike models right now, the best-performing one is arguably the Zoom Vomero +5. Streetwear aficionados and content creators have been amplifying it louder than ever which has caused the Swoosh team to pump out a plethora of new colorways, and the latest to pop up is this Nike Zoom Vomero +5 “520” Pack.The inspiration behind this assemblage is still unknown, but note that so far a Dunk Low iteration has also been unearthed. From afar, these Vomeros might just look like a simple two-toned installment, but it bears subtle details that allow them to stand on their own. “520” branding is unique to his offering as it makes its way onto the insoles in an oversized, Y2K-esque font as well as the heels where the “0” hosts a Nike logo inside. Much like the silhouette’s “Vast Grey” version, a majority of the upper is done up in white but subtle flashes of baby blue poke out through the laces and midsoles.A release date will likely be announced by Nike and select retailers in the coming weeks, and you can find them retailing for $160 USD.In case you missed it, check out the upcoming Jarritos x Nike SB apparel.

Since hitting the scene in 2022, the Nike Air Max Scorpion has continued to make noise with its colorful arrangements. Nike has kept it a priority within its lifestyle offerings, even upgrading it with protective gaiters. Having issued a “White Mint” iteration that previously offered an almost all-white build, a new take on a clean slate is being readied for release.With this colorway, a cloudy white graces the upper that carries its signature blend of Flyknit and chenille. Its first burst of color appears at the various branding elements scattered throughout the sock-like wrap. A blue “Lagoon Pulse” and red “Hot Punch” take turns lighting up the look — including at the Swooshes where the hues toggle back and forth. Supporting the structure, a light lime green glistens through the translucent, oversized sole unit to complete this summer-ready shoe.At the time of writing, no release details regarding this white colorway of the Nike Air Max Scorpion have been shared. Look for it to arrive on shelves via Nike and select retailers at a price of $250 USD in the coming months.Stay tuned for additional news regarding the Air Max Scorpion and for more of the latest footwear headlines, the Nike ACG Air Moc has appeared in a new all-black presentation.
