Dover Street Market Reimagines the Nike Air Superfly

Hypebeast08-07-2025
Summary:
Earlierthis year,Nikereissued theAir Superflyto mark 25 years since it was introduced. Now, the Swoosh has tapped its longtime collaboratorDSMto drop its own take on the sneaker – and with its low profile and sleek silhouette, the Air Superfly is the perfect canvas for DSM, which has reimagined the archival sneaker through its characteristically minimalist lens.
Rooted in running, the Nike x DSM Air Superfly retains the model's key elements, like its all-over perforations that dot its leather upper. It features suede accents, too, nodding to DSM's sartorial influence, with other details including a Hut Logo and Swoosh lock-up designed by DSM's founderRei Kawakuboon the tongue.
Famous for its in-store installations, Dover Street Market commissioned Zak Group – a design agency focused on contemporary culture – to create bespoke installations for its New York, London, and Los Angeles locations. Mirroring the futuristic, sports-inspired design, DSM says its in-store display presents the Nike Air Superfly 'as an artefact of victory, captured at the intersection of performance and fantasy.'
All three colorways of the Nike x DSM Air Superfly drop at Dover Street Market locations worldwide and on the DSM e-shops July 10, priced at £90 GBP / $100 USD.

Swooshes Strike the Air Jordan 40 "Chris Paul" PE

Summary We're only weeks removed from the debut of theAir Jordan 40andJordan Brandis back with yet another colorway reveal. Unlike the recent'Dusty Rose' and 'Blue Suede'preview, this pair serves as a player exclusive, celebrating veteran guardChris Paul. While Paul prepares for his return to the Los Angeles Clippers for his 21st season in the NBA, he's hosted his annual Chris Paul Elite Camp in Las Vegas. Last year he gave participants an exclusiveAir Jordan 39 'Chris Paul' PEand this year he's done the same with the Air Jordan 40. This special version of the shoe appears in pink with a large floral Swoosh placed at the lateral. His 'CP3' logo hits the left shoe's tongue to complete the colorway. Given the shoe's designation as a player exclusive, this Air Jordan 40 'Chris Paul' is not expected to ever land on retail shelves. However, if there's one thing that's become apparent in recent years, no shoe in Nike's archive is untouchable, so stay tuned for any updates.

Nike's New Kobe x FC Barcelona Collection Is a Spirited Tribute to Two Legends of the Game

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. Nike's latest drop is a full-on love letter to greatness, bringing together the spirit of Kobe Bryant and the legacy of FC Barcelona. Built on the Black Mamba's love for football, the partnership celebrates not only his upbringing in Italy, but his passionate admiration for Barça's style of play. More from Rolling Stone The Best Airbnb Alternatives for Luxury Villas, Budget Stays & Everything Inbetween This Limited-Edition Grateful Dead Blanket Is Back in Stock for the Band's 60th Anniversary Outside Lands 2025: Here's Where to Find Last-Minute Festival Tickets Online While Nike designed this collection to honor his deep personal connection to FC Barcelona, the designs are all unmistakably Byrant. Kobe x FC Barcelona apparel launched July 29, 2025 on and features a team gold base with Persian violet and black accents, a nod to his iconic Lakers colors. Subtle details (like the eight stars on the collar and the '24' stitched behind the crest) link directly back to his storied career. The jersey's club crest and Kobe Sheath take on a silicone gloss 3D snakeskin texture, and the uniform's socks bear a Kobe Sheath over the shin and 'Barça' on the calf, as well. The full capsule extends to lifestyle apparel, basketball gear, and footwear. Kobe x FC Barcelona Nike Collection Buy Now on nike This is no random mashup either — it's a 3‑season collaboration (starting 2025–26) that replaces the Nike Swoosh on FC Barcelona's away kit with Kobe's signature Sheath logo, a symbol of his Mamba Mentality. The partnership will also include the new Kobe x FC Barcelona Air Force 1 Protro, Kobe 4 Protro, and post-match slide, which will launch globally on July 31 at 10:00 a.m. EST via the Nike SNKRS app and on with select markets following later this summer. The away kit will also debut on pitch July 31, when Barça faces FC Seoul as part of the club's Asian preseason tour. The Kobe x FC Barcelona collection is also brought to life through the short film, Mamba Rondo, voiced by first-team men's coach Hansi Flick. The short brings Kobe and Barça's pursuit of perfection to life through the rondo drill, a staple of Barça's training philosophy that exemplifies the intensity of the club's training style and the repetitive drive to push beyond. The film features Nike and FC Barcelona athletes Alejandro Balde, Pablo Gavi, Patricia Guijarro, Frenkie de Jong, Ewa Pajor, Salma Paralluelo, Claudia Pina and Alexia Putellas, culminating in the reveal of the Kobe Sheath. This relentless drive to go beyond 'good enough' connects the two legends of the game, and which Nike says 'emulates in-game mentalities to inspire the next generation of athletes and expand the influence of Kobe's renowned Mamba Mentality'. The apparel and footwear in the FC x Kobe line aren't meant to just be visual tributes, but also meant to perform. The Kobe IV Protro x FC Barcelona shoes in particular come with Mamba-inspired agility tech (aka a responsive sensation underfoot), and the training tops fuse soccer-fit silhouettes with performance materials that surely would've passed Byrant's legendary standards. Nike Kobe IV Protro x FC Barcelona Team Gold and Persian Violet $190.00 shop on nike Whether you're a die‑hard Barça fan, Kobe aficionado, or a collector chasing meaningful designs, this is one drop to mark on your calendar. Get your alarms set, because these sneakers and the away kit land on July 31 exclusively at Nike SNKRS, and the FC Barcelona store. Don't wait, because once these goods hit the digital shelves, they might be gone before halftime. Best of Rolling Stone The Best Audiophile Turntables for Your Home Audio System
