Taking inspiration from high-fashion trends and Japan's iconic Rising Sun motif, the design exudes both sophistication and athletic tradition. Boasting Zoom Air cushioning and top-tier materials, this shoe is not only a must-have for collectors but also a reliable choice for those seeking both comfort and a bold court-to-street look. Undeniably, the "French Blue" iteration stands out as one of the most adored non-OG colorways in the Air Jordan 12 collection.
8. Air Jordan 3 “Starfish”
In November 2024, a mysterious ink spill on the highly anticipated “Starfish” 3s left fans in anticipation. Now, with the release of official images, all speculation has been put to rest.
This latest iteration of Mike’s third signature sneaker breaks tradition with its unique materials. The use of “Sail” canvas on the upper brings a fresh twist, reminiscent of recent popular releases like “Muslin” and “WNBA Desert Camo.” Hairy suede accents on the eyelets, collar, and tongue add a touch of luxury, while the “Starfish” suede overlays on the toe and heel provide a vibrant pop of color. The Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel, along with the Jordan text and forefoot outsole, are all adorned with the iconic “Starfish” hue, tying the whole design together.
Adidas Yeezy

Retail availability beyond the initial three cities is uncertain with discussions about Pac Sun potentially stocking it, drawing controversy in the sneaker community. The aesthetic emphasizes universality and timelessness, featuring premium leather with a YZY word mark. With adidas Confirmed updates IN 2025, you can have a chance.
10. Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 MX Series Welcomes A Blue Version
Kanye West’s adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 will debut the first MX version on October 23rd with the MX Oat Yeezy set for release. Following this is the MX Rock Yeezy 350 in December, with a new iteration planned for 2022. Dubbed “MX Blue” for its predominantly blue tone with hints of earthy browns and beiges intertwining in the upper construction, they might have a planetary connection. Despite the brand’s move towards more avant-garde silhouettes like the Yeezy Foam Runner and Yeezy 450, the Yeezy 350 and 700 remain the most popular. All Yeezy 350 MX versions are expected to sell out quickly in 2025.
In the realm of urban fashion, an unexpected downpour serves as a portal to a new wave of exclusive sneaker releases. Amidst the cascading raindrops, it's not merely a matter of traversing through puddles unscathed - it's about navigating the streets in iconic Adidas kicks, essential Yeezy pieces, and timeless Air Jordan masterpieces that redefine the very concept of rain-resistant fashion.
