NIGO x J-Hope x Nike Air Force 1 "Burnt Sunrise" unveiled
On September 26, Sneaker News revealed the NIGO x J-Hope x Nike Air Force 1 '01 "Burnt Sunrise," bringing the Japanese designer and the BTS star together on a single shoe.

Supreme x Nike Fall 2026 capsule dropped September 24
Supreme and Nike released their Fall 2026 apparel并于 September 24, per KicksUnderCost. The capsule blends technical nylon, faux fur, football sportswear, fleece and cold-weather accessories into a full streetwear wardrobe. Pause called it possibly "the collab of the year," and pieces were expected to sell out immediately — a likely strong resale performer on StockX and GOAT this week.(see https://stupiddope.com/2026/09/supreme-x-nike-fall-2026-builds-a-wardrobe-around-technical-sportswear)
The Sept 27–Oct 3 release window: Caitlin Clark 1, J Balvin x Jordan 4, KITH "Salmon Toe"
Sneaker News's weekly release rundown (published September 27) flags this week's headline drops: the Caitlin Clark 1 signature, the J Balvin x Jordan 4, and KITH's "Salmon Toe" among others. The mix of a WNBA signature, a celebrity Jordan collab and a NYC retail staple makes it one of the most raffle-heavy weeks of the month.
adidas x Pokémon lands in Japan
adidas Originals Japan is leaning on classic silhouettes to let fans choose shoes based on their favorite Pokémon, as part of the brand's anniversary programming for 2026, reported by PR EDGE earlier this week. It's a character-driven play aimed squarely at the Japanese general consumer rather than the hype crowd.
September's retrospective on the month's best new sneakers
Sneakers Cartel's two-day-old roundup frames September's arrivals as Y2K runners, football-inspired releases, artist collaborations and heritage staples across Nike, adidas, Off-White and Vans — useful context for which of this month's drops to watch on resale.
Local view
- Japanese media: @BAILA published a roundup of 29 autumn 2026 trend sneakers featuring Nike, adidas and New Balance, aimed at adult women shoppers — reflecting the mainstream, no-raffle demand side of the Japanese market.
- STYLE HAUS (Japan) ran a "sneaker war" analysis of 2026 sales data, describing adidas chasing Nike's lead while New Balance grows on its own lane — a useful framing for how JP buyers read the big three.
Context & numbers
- The global secondhand sneaker market is projected at $11.97 billion in 2026, scaling to $26.3 billion by 2035 (CAGR of 11.9%), with North America the leading resale region per Hype Proxies.
- Nike revenue for the quarter ending May 31, 2026 was $10.972B, down 1.13% year-over-year (MacroTrends) — relevant backdrop as new collabs like Supreme and NIGO try to reignite demand.
On the radar
- adidas Harden Vol. 10 "Ruei" x Ray Asianboy global release is slated for October 26 (rumored final date, flagged months ago).
- Watch for Supreme x Nike Fall 2026 pieces hitting StockX and GOAT listings this week to gauge the capsule's premium above retail.
- Gear Patrol's retro round-up (2 days old) suggests nostalgia silhouettes remain a buy-side keyword heading into Q4.
