Nike and Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are preparing the upcoming Nike SHAI 002. Following a recent interview with TIME, Gilgeous-Alexander confirmed that he personally hand-drew the design for his second signature silhouette.Maintaining a direct creative role in his footwear line, Gilgeous-Alexander previously crafted early sketches for the SHAI 001 before taking the exact same approach for his follow-up model. When asked what fans should expect from the upcoming SHAI 002, Gilgeous-Alexander stated in the interview, “Sick design. Because I drew it. That’s all I can give you.”The SHAI 002 marks his first brand-new signature model constructed under the main Nike Basketball banner following his official transition from Converse in June 2026. While his debut silhouette originally launched under Converse before receiving Nike branding at Oklahoma City’s Media Day, his second model continues the athlete’s personal involvement from its inception.The Nike SHAI 002 is expected to release in early 2027. Stay tuned for future developments on the release.

LOEWE and On present the Cloudsolo Hiker in three monochromatic tonal colorways—tan, dark brown, and black—merging Spanish luxury design with Swiss athletic engineering.The LOEWE x On Cloudsolo Hiker is available now for $890 USD via select luxury retailers.

Name: BSTN x Salomon XT-6 IRIDESCENTColorway: Black/Almond MilkSKU: L45567700MSRP: $300 USDRelease Date: October 10Where to Buy: BSTNBSTN and Salomon have joined forces for their first footwear collaboration, reworking the XT-6 through a “5 A.M.” concept inspired by the quiet transition between night and day.Officially listed in a single “Black/Black/Almond Milk” colorway, the shoe reads visually as a dark navy-to-black mesh base layered with pale blue iridescent TPU overlays that shift in tone as they catch the light. The changing surface gives the otherwise technical upper an almost pearlescent quality, while white contrast stitching – including distinctive zigzag detailing across the tongue – sharpens the darker foundation. Underfoot, the mostly black tooling keeps the palette grounded, allowing the reflective upper treatment to carry the design, while a molded insole moves from cool blue into warm orange to mirror the first light of morning.The silhouette retains the high-performance technical features the model is celebrated for. The upper is constructed from a breathable single-layer mesh reinforced with highly durable, abrasion-resistant TPU paneling, all secured by Salomon’s signature quickLACE system and endoFit construction for a precise, locked-down fit. Equipped with the agileCHASSIS system for premium stability and cushioning, grounded by a rugged Mud Contagrip outsole featuring deep, sharp-edged lugs built to handle versatile terrain. To commemorate the partnership, tasteful co-branding is found on the lateral heel, while a custom BSTN label bearing the shared “Common Ground” slogan rests neatly beneath the lacing system.
