Release Date: September 12th
Where To Buy: Nike SNKRS App & Selected Retailers
Duelists, anime fans, and sneakerheads - this one is for you. Nike is celebrating Yu-Gi-Oh!’s 20th anniversary with a nostalgic collab on the Air Max 95. Both regional-exclusive pairs come in special-edition packaging, complete with dual cards, tying back to the anime’s fandom culture.
The global ‘Joey’ release includes the Winds of Spell card, while the Japan-exclusive Jonouchi pair features the Poisonous Scorpion Feast card. Anime references aside, both versions nod to when the character first rocked the ‘Air Muscle’ sneakers in the series.
3. Air Jordan 5 ‘Fire Red’ Black Tongue
Release Date: September 13th
Where To Buy: Nike
After a 12-year hiatus, Jordan Brand is giving fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for: the return of the Air Jordan 5 Fire Red Black Tongue. Dropping in time for the silhouette’s 35th anniversary, this retro brings back the OG details with a few updates.
The iconic ‘Nike Air’ branding finally returns to the heel, paired with sleek white leather, the ‘23’ stitched on the side, and that icy lace toggle. While the 3M tongue doesn’t make a comeback, this release still hits all the right nostalgia notes. Expect this one to fly on SNKRS.
4. Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low
Release Date: September 20th
Where To Buy: Nike SNKRS
When Travis Scott and Fragment Design link up, sneaker culture listens. The Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low is the definition of hype, fusing La Flame’s signature reverse Swoosh with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s minimalist touch.
Dressed in premium leather with a black, white, and blue colour scheme, this pair is equal parts wearable and collectable. Given the insane demand for past Travis collabs, expect raffles to be packed, resale prices to skyrocket, and this release to dominate the conversation all month long.
5. South Park x Crocs

Whether you’re repping Cartman, Kenny, or Stan, these drops turn everyday wear into a cartoon-inspired statement. Love them or hate them, there’s no denying Crocs has mastered the art of unexpected collabs, and this one is bound to stir just as much conversation as laughter.
