First up, NBA 2K 25 drops with an interesting twist—mainly digital-only, with only the base version seeing a physical release. Then, we talk Anthony Edwards and the return of his AE1 Hightop in the eye-catching "Preloved Purple, Black/Red" colorway, just in time for the 24/25 NBA season.

We celebrate the Patta x Air Max 1 20th Anniversary release, dropping on Friday the 13th, and discuss the Foamposite "Dark Neon Royal Blue", which is set to launch in stores & online this weekend.
