Doja Cat is without doubt a style icon of her generation with dazzling and over-the-top looks coming from every angle in the superstar’s usual defiant style. StockX announced Thursday (September 21) that it will exclusively pre-release the Skechers X Doja Cat Doja’Lite sneakers ahead of the worldwide drop.
Doja Cat and her new Doja’Lite sneaker line is a play on Skechers’ D’Lites style, updated of course to match the “Paint The Town Red” artist’s sense of fashion know-how.

“Starting September 21 at 12 PM, you can grab a pair of my new Skechers Doja’Lite sneakers on StockX while listening to my new album Scarlet. I am excited to share part of my world with my fans,” Doja shared in a statement.
With a retail price tag of $125 USD, the chunky silhouette comes in either Black or white with five colorways to come when the sneaker is released to the wider public. The tongue of the sneakers features Doja Cat’s name along with Skechers branding, and the shoe is at all times rugged, classic, and stylish all at once.

“As the marketplace for current culture, StockX is committed to providing access to of-the-moment products, artists, and trends,” Deena Bahri, CMO at StockX,” shared in a statement. “Today’s consumer continues to lean into the nostalgia trend and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with Skechers — a brand with a rich history of conversation-driving collaborations — to help release a product that not only draws inspiration from the recently revived Y2K aesthetic, but also pulls at the heartstrings of those of us who grew up wearing the Skechers D’Lites of the early aughts.”

Just to inform readers, the exclusive StockX drop will only feature the Black or white style in women’s sizing and will be available until supplies run out. The campaign is also launching in StockX Drop-Off locations around the world.
All of this leads up to the release of Doja Cat’s upcoming album, Scarlet, which drops on Friday (September 22).

Hurry over to StockX now and cop your Doja’Lites before they run out. Click here for more.

The 2023 U.S. Open Tennis has crowned Coco Gauff as its champion! After a close match between the 19-year-old and No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka, it was Gauff who came out victorious on Saturday (Sept. 9). And she did it wearing her signature New Balance sneakers.

To celebrate her big win, the tennis pro took to TikTok and posted a video of herself holding the trophy in an all-pink Barbiecore-inspired outfit.

“This barbie is the us open champion,” the caption read.

The championship also marked a few firsts for Gauff, as not only did she take home her first Grand Slam win, but she did so in her first-ever signature Coco CG1 Tennis Shoes with New Balance.

Their partnership began before she entered this year’s U.S. open, though, as New Balance first saw her talent back when she was 14 years old. The brand said they “could see what a special talent she was on the court, but also off,” according to a press release. Now that she’s taken home the U.S. Open champion title, she couldn’t be more thankful for their ongoing support.

“This victory means the world to me, and I hope it inspires others to chase their dreams with determination and passion,” said Coco Gauff in a press statement. “I could never have done this without the support of my family and my team, and I am forever grateful for partners like New Balance that feel like an extension of my family and who have been with me since I was 14 years old.”

Even before she won the Grand Slam, many could see the tennis prodigy’s talent, including Bose, who sat down with her to talk about her life, family and how music and sounds impact her game. She said she always tries to be “authentically [herself] and don’t try to fit in any mold,” which you can see in the bold colorway of her CG1 tennis sneakers.

Want to sport the winning look yourself? The exact tennis sneaker is available to buy now, but not for long. Sizes of the red, black and yellow sneakers are quickly selling out from retailers including New Balance and Dick’s Sporting Goods, which means you’ll have to act fast to secure a pair of your own.

Earlier this summer Nike re-released the OG John McEnroe Nike “Mac Attack” sneakers which sold out immediately. Now they’re readying to drop an exclusive variation of the sneaker featuring the now iconic (to some) Travis Scott reverse swoosh.

Sneakernews is reporting that the classic sneaker will be retro’d again but this time emblazoned with the Travis Scott emblem on since the rapper did help hype the original re-release not too long ago. While many assumed the re-release would be featuring the Cactus Jack stamp of approval, they actually were the same exact silhouette that dropped in the early 90’s. Now fans will be getting what they expected the first time around and get the kicks that we saw when Travis Scott helped promote the return of the Mac Attacks.
Sneakernews reports:

Paying homage to what came before, the Travis Scott x Nike Mac Attack boasts an intentional resemblance to the silhouette’s original colorway. Much like its predecessor, the collaboration is dressed almost entirely in a light grey, with black applied not only to the mesh insert along the toe but also the leathers that wrap the collar, Swoosh, and lower heel. The “Cactus Jack” logo embroidered onto the shoe’s spine is threaded in the same neutral, while the woven label and “NIKE” further echo the look of the OG.
If the first drop sold out, y’all know these Travis Scott editions are going to be a hot commodity out on these streets.
The kicks are supposed to see a December 2nd release though Nike is notorious for pushing back release dates on hype sneakers. Check out the Travis Scott Mack Attack’s below and let us know if you’ll be checking for these when they drop in the comments section below.

As long time collaborators, the two partners are no strangers to releasing fresh seasonal colors, and are introducing three colorways that are instant statement pieces: Cacao Nibs, Navy Peony and Ruby Wine. Each shade features a deep and rich color that’s versatile, yet won’t get lost or outshined by a patterned top or flared pants. You’ll likely receive lots of “I love your shoes” and “Where’d you get those?” from strangers and friends. One reviewer even emphasized the brand’s coziness and versatility, saying they “wore [their] new Cariuma’s on a trip to Colorado. Walked miles/day in comfort and they look cute with everything!”

The new collection is available in the Low Oca style, which comes with a low-top and — unlike the classic white tennis sneaker — won’t get dirty as easily in the new colorways. You can also take advantage of free express shipping for a limited time. Just use the code NEWSEASON at checkout.

Sneakerheads across the globe have been cursing the Nike SNKRS app for a while now due to the impossibility of hitting on a coveted pair of grails in recent years. But best believe we’ll all be checking in when SNKRS Day 2023 goes down come next month.

According to Highsnobiety, SNKRS Day 2023 is set take place on September 9 and though information is scarce, we do expect some high profile sneakers such as the Air Jordan 1 “Lost and Found” and Air Jordan 4 “SB”‘s to restock on that special day. At the same time, Nike has a habit of restocking kicks that no one asked for such as the Air Jordan 1 “Brotherhood” and Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs,” so there’s a good chance that SNKRS Day will be offering enough bricks to build an outhouse on your property.
Highsnobiety reports:

Fans are already predicting the return of a coveted drop like the Chicago 1s, Nike SB Jordan 4 “Pine Green,” Tiffany AF1s, or Jarritos Dunks for 2023 SNKRS Day.
Last year, Nike dropped the Taxi Jordan 1s, Canyon Purple 4s, Air Max 1 “Tour Yellow,” and Air Force 1 “SNKRS Day.” And judging by screenshots shared across social media, quite a few Nike fans got lucky that day — some glimmer of hope for those over their endless SNKRS Ls.

We honestly doubt Nike will restock that kind of heat this year, but even if they do chances are they’ll raffle them off, hence, leading to all kinds of rage and disappointment that tends to follow after having to wait 10 to 30 minutes to be told “Hold this L, b.” Should it actually be a FCFS scenario, then expect the app to crash ridiculously and have a problem submitting your payment if you’re not getting booted out the app entirely.
Yes, SNKRS day will be struggle one way or another, but best believe we’ll be trying our best to pick up a pair of any highly coveted grails that we missed out on throughout this year.
What do y’all think will happen come SNKRS Day 2023? Is Nike going to bless us with a second chance to get some heat or are they just going to unload all the remaining bricks they have left in their warehouses? Sound off in the comment section below.
