As November comes to an end the sneaker releases keep coming. Last week’s sneaker releases brought a New Balance x Joe Feshgoods 2010. Japanese designer Nigo and Nike gave us another Air Force 3 inspired by Kintsugi.
This week’s sneaker releases have something for everyone. Adidas is bringing a black Dios XLG. The Air Max 95 is back with an OG colorway. The highly anticipated Air Jordan 4 Black Cat drops this week. Let’s get into this week’s sneaker releases.
November 24th Sneaker Releases
Adidas Dios Superstar XLG
- Colorway: Core Black, Cream White, and Gold Metallic
- Style Code: HQ7248
- Retail: $130
- Where to buy: Adidas
Let’s start the week off with an Adidas drop. The Dios is a combination of a classic with some modern twists. The Superstar is a sneaker culture staple whether you are hitting the street or the club. This version sports all black leather.
The three stripes sport an off white hue to accent the shell toe box and the midsole. The black leather tongue sports Adidas and Dios branding in white. Underneath is a milky translucent midsole with a heavy script.
Sneaker Geeks Tip: The superstar is a regular fit giving it a snug feel. This might be a little uncomfortable for people with wider feet. What I do like about the Superstar is its styling versatility. This kick goes best with a straight leg pant and a simple tee.
November 26th Sneaker Releases
Air Max 95 OG
- Colorway: White , Hyper Jade, Black, and Metallic Silver
- Style Code: IM7409-100
- Retail: $190
- Where to buy: SNKRS
2025 marks the 30th year of the Air Max 95 one of the most popular Air Max silhouettes. This year has brought several iterations of the mid 90’s classic. Most recently the Yardrunner pack a collaboration with HBCU’s like Norfolk State and Spelman. Next up is an OG colorway from when the sneaker debuted.
All white airy mesh runs along the eyestays complimented by black web lace system. The wavy sidewalls go back and forth between white and black synthetic leather. A mini Swoosh is stitched on the lateral heel in jade green. The white polyurethane midsole houses the big visible air unit.
Check out the SNKRS app on November 26th to grab this pair. They will be available in men’s sizes and retail for $190.
Sneaker Geeks Tip: The 95 is a great show but is not accommodating for people with wider feet. I typically get about three hours of wear before I am ready to swap out for some Nike Calm Slides. It does provide a snug fit so definitely rock these with loose laces and some joggers now that the temperature has dropped.
Puma Hali 1
- Colorway: Poppy Pink and Rose Dust
- Style Code: 313451-01
- Retail: $130
- Where to Buy: Puma
The Hali 1 is back with a new colorway. The Hali 1 is the debut signature shoe from Tyrese Haliburton designed by Salehe Bembury. This is evident with the subtle hues and vibrant colors. This version of the Hali 1 sports a muted pink colorway.
The upper sports a pink mesh upper that is breathable making this perfect for the courts. The cage on the side provides additional stability for the laces for a secure fit. In the midsole is full length Nitro foam for superior cushioning. I don’t play ball but I do wear these when I workout and the support on these are great.
Underneath is a full length herringbone traction pad for grip. These provide great stickiness for me when doing those plyometric moves. The collar has extra padding for comfort when making those lateral moves.
Sneaker Geeks Insight: The Hali 1 is a great basketball shoe. It provides great cushion and support for those cuts on the court. The fit is true to size so there is no need to size up unless you have wider feet. This does have a snug fit so if your feet are wide then I recommend doing up one half size.
November 28th Sneaker Releases
Air Jordan 4 ‘Black Cat’
- Colorway: Black and Light Graphite
- Style Code: FV5029-010
- Retail: $220
- Where to Buy: Nike SNKRS & Jordan Retailers
Finally the Black Cat returns after almost 20 years. 2025 has been a big year for the Air Jordan 4. The Rae Air 4 and the Undefeated 4s came back. So it’s only right that the Air Jordan 4 ends 2025 in a big way.
This monochromatic silhouette features all black nubuck suede on the upper. Black molded eyestays look good against the black laces. On the tongue is the Jumpman logo in light graphite. Black Nike Air is raised on the heel in a shiny black color.
The all black polyurethane midsole houses the visible air unit. Underneath is the partial herringbone traction pad accented by Nike branding in white.
Sneaker Geeks Tips: Currently the resale is sitting at $280 for a size 10.5 so I don’t think this will be a hard cop. If you want to grab this iconic kick your best bet is to hit up the SNKRS app. You may also have some luck with draws via Footlocker or Social Status.
That does it for this week’s sneaker releases. I am excited about all of these but there is one that I have my eye on. I am going after the Air Jordan 4 let us know which pair you have your eye on. Until next week check out how I styled the Poly Air Max 1.
