]]> SEGA has once again joined forces with PUMA to deliver a brand-new, limited-edition Sonic the Hedgehog collection. Inspired by Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, the capsule features sneakers, apparel, and accessories designed with motorsport flair and iconic character nods. The collection officially launches worldwide on October 30, 2025.

Sonic, Tails & Shadow-Inspired Footwear

At the center of the release are three standout sneaker designs, each capturing the essence of SEGA’s beloved characters. The PUMA Inhale returns in Sonic’s unmistakable blue, reimagining a classic 2000s running silhouette. Meanwhile, the Inverse model gets two bold new colorways: one for Shadow, with his darker palette and edgy details, and another for Tails, showcasing his vibrant, optimistic style.

Each pair comes packed with customization options, including:

  • Character-shaped lace shrouds
  • Swappable hook-and-loop heel tabs
  • Replaceable Formstrips for added variety

Motorsport-Inspired Apparel

The Sega + Puma apparel lineup blends racing culture with Sonic-themed design cues, resulting in a collection that looks at home both on the track and in the streets. Highlights include:

  • A Track Jacket & Pants combo in sleek black with red piping and co-branding
  • A Graphic Hoodie & Shorts with washed textures and gold-ring drawstring aglets
  • A Racer Shirt featuring a bold, oversized monochrome Sonic graphic
  • A Graphic Tee uniting Sonic, Tails, and Shadow in one striking design

Accessories round out the set with a 5-Panel Cap and Waist Bag, both detailed with ring-inspired zipper pulls and dual branding.

Exclusive In-Game Content

The collaboration extends into the digital world, with players of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds receiving eight exclusive PUMA-designed decals to customize their in-game vehicles. The decal pack is included at no extra cost for anyone purchasing the game.

Sonic’s Influence on Fashion and Streetwear

For more than three decades, Sonic the Hedgehog has been more than just a gaming icon—he’s become a style symbol in his own right. From his instantly recognizable blue spikes to the iconic red sneakers that defined his speed, Sonic has consistently blended pop culture with a sense of identity and flair. Over the years, the Blue Blur has found his way into streetwear, sneaker culture, and high-end collaborations, bridging the gap between nostalgic gamers and fashion enthusiasts. These partnerships celebrate not just gameplay, but lifestyle—turning Sonic into a wearable statement that runs as fast through fashion as he does on-screen.

]]> Sony is marking 30 years since the PlayStation brand first entered the console market with a fresh anniversary collaboration. After releasing PS1-inspired consoles and accessories in Japan last year, the focus has now shifted to the US and UK — this time, with sneakers.

On September 29, the exact anniversary of the PS1’s UK debut, PlayStation revealed a new collection of limited-edition sneakers created in partnership with Reebok. Three unique designs have been announced, each built on a classic Reebok silhouette, and each one will be released exclusively in a different region — mirroring the PS1’s original staggered global launch.

UK Exclusive: Reebok Workout Plus

The first pair to hit shelves will be the PlayStation x Reebok Workout Plus, launching in the UK. Styled in the iconic PS1 grey, these trainers feature the classic multi-coloured PlayStation logo on the side, along with a removable lacelock designed to resemble the original console’s controller port.

The Workout Plus sneakers will be available at End Clothing for £150 starting October 15.

US Exclusive: Reebok Pump Omni Zone 2

Next in line are the PlayStation x Reebok Pump Omni Zone 2, arriving in the US on October 17. Like the UK release, these high-tops carry the PS1 grey theme but add darker grey detailing and a bold logo placement on the tongue.

Priced at $220, they will be sold through CNCPTS and also include the distinctive controller port lacelock attachment.

Japan Exclusive: Reebok Instapump Fury 94

Finally, Japan will see the release of the PlayStation x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 on October 14. These laceless sneakers stand out as the most colourful of the three designs, featuring multiple PS1 logos — one on the back of each shoe and another on a hanging tag.

They will be stocked at Beams for ¥37,000, rounding out the global tribute to PlayStation’s 30th anniversary.

The post SoleFly Brings Miami Heat With Upcoming Air Jordan 3 appeared first on DeadFormat.

]]> SoleFly is back in the spotlight, this time with its first-ever public Air Jordan 3 collaboration. The Miami-based boutique unveiled the pair courtside during the Hurricanes vs. Notre Dame game, with co-founders Carlos Prieto and Daniel Hidalgo joined by former Canes stars Andre Johnson and Ed Reed all lacing up the unreleased kicks.

This isn’t SoleFly’s first dance with the AJ3. In 2014, the shop crafted a Florida Lottery–inspired version that never saw a public drop, instead becoming a legendary Friends & Family exclusive. That history makes this 2025 release all the more significant.

The design plays into Miami pride with a crisp white leather upper accented by a green toe cap, orange heel panel, and a vintage-tinted midsole reminiscent of the “Reimagined” line. Nike Air branding in green hits the heel, while subtle SoleFly touches—including a custom logo on the back tab and a branded hang-tag—round out the look. Three lace options (white, green, orange) offer a nod to versatility and team spirit.

As with all great SoleFly projects, local culture is at the heart of the design. Miami’s connection to sport, style, and energy is distilled into a sneaker that balances nostalgia with fresh execution. The restrained palette and premium details feel like a callback to the glory days of Jordan Player Exclusives, but with enough modern flair to stand on its own.

Like the recently revealed Air Jordan 3 El Vuelo, which paid homage to lucha libre culture, this SoleFly edition proves the AJ3 still has the range to celebrate regional and cultural storytelling. Where El Vuelo brought wrestling flair, SoleFly’s effort brings hometown pride—executed with a clean, understated edge that channels classic Jordan PEs.

A Holiday 2025 release is expected, with more details coming soon.

]]> Official images of the Air Jordan 3 ‘El Vuelo’ have been revealed, showcasing a colourway that blends classic Jordan heritage with Mexican wrestling culture. Release details are expected soon, but this pair already looks like one of the year’s more memorable drops.

The shoe’s design takes inspiration from lucha libre, a sport defined by colourful masks, dramatic characters, and bold style. Jagged leather overlays and snakeskin-textured panels bring a layered, patterned look, while bright red guards on the toe and heel add contrast. Green collars highlight the cultural connection, and metallic gold branding on the Jumpman and tongue provides a premium finish worthy of a special edition. Traditional elephant print elements also appear, keeping the shoe tied to its Air Jordan 3 roots.

Even the packaging tells a story. The box uses graphics inspired by vintage fight posters found across Mexico City, while “Más vale maña que fuerza” (“brains over brawn”) is stitched behind the tongue — a detail that nods to the strategy and showmanship of lucha libre.

Sneakers and wrestling have crossed over many times before. Rey Mysterio has sported custom mask-inspired pairs, Kofi Kingston has worn rare Travis Scott AJ1s in the ring, and wrestlers such as Brody King in his adidas boots continue to blur the line between performance footwear and wrestling culture. The Air Jordan 3 ‘El Vuelo’ builds on that connection, offering both sneaker fans and wrestling enthusiasts something unique.

Retailing at around $230, the Air Jordan 3 ‘El Vuelo’ is expected to release this September via Nike SNKRS, select Jordan Brand retailers, and likely through online raffles. With its cultural theme, special detailing, and premium execution, this drop is expected to be a fast sell-out and a must-have for collectors.

From Nike:

Following the ornate Air Jordan 5 “El Grito” in 2024, which honored Mexico’s War of Independence, Jordan Brand is continuing its celebration of Mexican heritage in 2025. This time, the spotlight shifts to Mexico City’s vibrant lucha libre tradition with the Air Jordan 3 OG “El Vuelo,” slated for a Fall 2025 release in an exclusive “Summit White” colorway.

MJ and lucha libre wrestlers share a reputation for taking flight—Michael Jordan for his gravity-defying drives to the rim, and luchadores for their fearless leaps over the ropes. This retro AJ3 pays homage to that shared spirit by highlighting an intangible part of the city’s cultural identity. Textured and shiny leather panels are paired with overlays inspired by luchador masks, all finished in the green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.

Supporting accents of Metallic Gold, Pine Green, Dragon Red, and Sail add depth to the Summit White base, while OG touches ensure the silhouette retains its classic DNA. Special packaging also adds to the storytelling, with a custom box styled like promotional posters advertising high-flying lucha libre matches.

Set at a premium price point in line with its elevated concept, the Air Jordan 3 OG “El Vuelo” will release in Fall 2025 via select Jordan Brand retailers. Enjoy official photos and campaign imagery of the retro ahead.

]]> Los Angeles-based streetwear disruptors Brain Dead are once again linking up with Adidas Originals for Fall/Winter 2025 — this time with a heavyweight assist from professional wrestler Brody King. The partnership debuts a brand-new “Brody King” branded boot, alongside fresh reinterpretations of the Barricade 13, Taekwondo, and Climacool 2 sneakers. The capsule pulls heavily from the worlds of boxing and wrestling, blending combat sport heritage with Brain Dead’s offbeat, retro-futuristic aesthetic.

A fusion of style and sport
The new “Brody King” silhouette takes cues from 1980s-era Japanese boxing boots, then cranks things up with bold flame overlays inspired by lucha libre culture. The result is an unapologetically statement-making piece that balances performance roots with high-impact style. Across the collection, a shared colour palette of bright green, ultraviolet, muted beige, and metallic silver is paired with layered materials — think hairy suede panels, lightweight mesh, and synthetic overlays — for depth and texture.

Celebrating the launch
To kick things off, Brain Dead will host a free Brain Slam Wrestling event in Los Angeles on Friday, August 8th, 2025. The card features an international roster including Brody King, Tiger Mask, Emi Sakura, Mei Suruga, Volador Jr., and more, plus a live set from hardcore outfit Never Ending Game. Fans in attendance might even walk away with a pair of the limited-edition sneakers before they hit shelves, while online shoppers can register via the Brain Dead newsletter for a shot at securing them.

Release details
The Brain Dead x Adidas Originals FW25 collection — including the Brody King collaboration — is expected to drop between September and November 2025 via Adidas.com and select retailers. An exact release date is still under wraps.
