J Balvin x Air Jordan 4 “Lemonade”
J Balvin’s latest Jordan Brand collaboration lands on the AJ4 silhouette with a croc-textured leather upper inspired by the sunsets over Medellín and the colors of the Caño Cristales river. Custom mismatched heel branding and dual-language dubraes round out a design that leans fully into Colombian identity rather than playing it safe. Release details and pricing are unconfirmed at this stage, but the closer-look images are out now.

Nike Air Max 95 “Reverse Blue Spark” and Fall Suede Build
The AM95 is getting two very different treatments worth flagging. The “Reverse Blue Spark” flips the model’s familiar gradient structure with Blue Spark sitting over a dark charcoal base, giving it a cooler, more restrained read than the classic Neon. Separately, a Fall 2026 suede build trades the usual mesh panels for shaggy suede in Dark Brown and Grey Olive, leaning hard into seasonal materials. Both are confirmed for 2026, with specific release dates unconfirmed.
