New kicks just dropped and they’re anything but ordinary.
From a sleek HOKA collab with cycling flair, to Nike’s fuzzy twist on the classic Panda, these sneakers are built to turn heads. Here’s why you’ll want them in your rotation.
MAAP x HOKA Tecton X2
HOKA joins forces with Australian cycling brand MAAP to unveil a new take on the Tecton X2, a high-performance running shoe now reimagined with a cyclist’s edge.
The collaboration blends the best of both worlds, combining HOKA’s reputation for comfort and propulsion with MAAP’s aerodynamic design sensibilities.
The Tecton X2 arrives in a striking Limeade colourway, built on HOKA’s signature dual carbon plate sole for maximum propulsion.
The off-white base is accented with pops of aqua, lime green, and deep green, while the reflective stripe on the side nods to MAAP’s cycling apparel. Every detail is designed to enhance visibility, speed, and style.
MAAP’s influence is clear throughout the design, from the custom purple strip above the toe box to the bold logo placement on the insoles and laces.
This is a shoe made for more than just running. It stands as a crossover statement for those who live for movement and appreciate good design.
The MAAP x HOKA Tecton X2 will retail for US$230 (~RM1,080) and will be available starting 11th July at MAAP stores. A wider release will follow on 15th July at MAAP.cc and HOKA.com.
Nike Dunk Low Panda “Blue and Gold”
The iconic Dunk Low series continues its 40th anniversary celebration with a new “Blue and Gold” Panda edition.
Fresh off the recent “Picante Red” drop, this version swaps fiery tones for vibrant University Gold and electric blue, blending nostalgic charm with a bold burst of colour.
This edition ditches the clean leather in favour of shaggy suede uppers and overlays that capture the tactile feel of panda fur. The fuzzy laces, paired with panda logos on tongue and heel and an embroidered “Est. 1985” stamp, amplify the playful nod to Dunk’s heritage.
A crisp white midsole grounds the exaggerated textures, while a striking blue outsole seals the look. It’s an eye-catching combo that’s equal parts streetwear statement and collectible sneakerhead must‑have.
Beyond looking cute and quirky, this Dunk reflects how Nike continues reinventing classics by merging rich texture with collegiate energy.
It’s a perfect grab for anyone wanting a playful twist on the beloved Panda theme, and it’s sure to ignite hype wherever it drops.
The Nike Dunk Low Panda “Blue and Gold” will retail for US$130 (~RM 550) and will be available this Fall 2025 at select Nike Sportswear stores and online.
